In April 2008, <mask> claimed "that Chairmen of some of the tribunals used their position in order to act more or less as shop stewards for the wealthy legal profession". He later withdrew the comment, acknowledging that he may have caused offence. Civil partnership legislation
On 24 April 2008, <mask> put forward a party motion to counter the proposed same-sex Civil Partnership Bill.The Irish Times reported that around 30 unidentified Fianna Fáil backbenchers had signed the motion. One anonymous Senator was quoted as claiming that the motion "would have considerable support from the more conservative sections of the parliamentary party". The Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, responded by insisting that the registration of same-sex couples would not interfere with the constitutional status of marriage. Cowen noted that the Bill had been drawn up in close consultation with the Attorney General and had been included in the programme for government. The motion was referred to the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party's justice committee on 1 July 2008. Despite the challenge to the Bill, a Fianna Fáil spokesperson was quoted as saying that there was "broad support" within the party for the legislation, while the Taoiseach and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Dermot Ahern reaffirmed the constitutional compatibility of the proposed law. <mask> has repeatedly called for a freedom of conscience amendment to the legislation which would by-pass equality legislation, allowing people a religious exemption in providing goods and services to gay couples.In the 2014 "Pantigate" controversy in which the national broadcaster RTÉ paid a purported €85,000 to conservative commentators, <mask> argued that some proponents of same-sex

He did not contest the 2016 Seanad election. Wikipedia editing
In September 2015, <mask> admitted editing his own Wikipedia entry, claiming it had been edited by "a person from the gay lobby groups". He said that he had removed "certain erroneous comments" but did not say which edits he made or what was erroneous. T.J. McIntyre, a law lecturer at University College Dublin drew attention to edits made from an IP address belonging to the Oireachtas. Edits made from that address included removal of controversial comments made by the former senator about gay people and the Marriage Equality referendum. References

<mask> (born <mask>; May 27, 1920 – March 6, 2001) was an American popular singer, songwriter, actress, and author. She was best known for her appearances in 1950s cabarets, where she sang soprano. In 1965, she portrayed the cantankerous Sister Berthe in the film version of The Sound of Music; she also had a minor role as Sarah in the musical Doctor Dolittle;  on TV's All My Children <mask> played the long-running role of nanny Mrs. Gurney. Her book of poetic musings, There's a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery, became a mainstay of twelve-step programs. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Brigham City, Utah on May 27, 1920 and was the youngest of nine children. (The Danish family name of Nielsen had been anglicized before her birth.) Her Mormon family owned a farm; her father was also a railroad worker.At a young age, <mask> taught herself to play piano; after two years at Weber College in Ogden, Utah she quit school and moved to Los Angeles. Early career
While attending an LDS Church service in L.A. in 1945, <mask> met the King Sisters, the popular swing-era vocal quartet, also from Utah. The sisters were employed by bandleader Alvino Rey; and since <mask> needed a job, they hired her to come on the road as their secretary. In the months that followed, she took one of her first steps as a musician by writing a few vocal arrangements for the group. Back home in Los Angeles in early 1946, <mask> worked briefly as secretary to film director André de Toth; she held another secretarial job in the publicity department of United Artists

 Pictures. Around that time she adopted the name Portia, a nickname that friends gave her based on her love of the popular radio soap opera Portia Faces Life. She was known for occasionally sitting at pianos on the lot and demonstrating songs, and word of her vocal talents spread.Jane Russell was then on the lot making a film, Young Widow; one day they talked about songs they both liked, and <mask> performed one at the piano. "What the hell are you doing pounding a typewriter? ... You should be singing," said Russell. <mask> would later work for Russell as a vocal coach. After <mask>'s death, Russell said that she "had a high, clear voice, with such intonation and shading! Her lyrics were sung with such understanding that you felt you'd heard a poem sung." Through Ida Lupino, <mask> met Nick Arden, a lyricist who was planning to open a small nightclub in Sherman Oaks, California.She and Arden teamed to write a song, "It's as Simple as That." <mask> recorded the demo, which reached the hands of singer Jo Stafford; on October 18, 1946, Stafford recorded the ballad for Capitol as the B-side of "September Song." The disc didn't chart, but once his nightclub had opened Arden hired <mask> to make her debut there as a singer. Her accompanist was Walter Gross, a former staff pianist at CBS radio and the composer of a standard written that year, "Tenderly". Early cabaret work
After leaving Nick Arden's, <mask> continued to work day jobs, while singing sporadically. In 1949 she performed at the Café Gala, a cabaret on Hollywood's Sunset Strip; singer-pianist Bobby Short

Recalled Short in his 1995 autobiography Bobby Short: The Life and Times of a Saloon Singer: "Portia walked onto the floor of the Gala, tall, poised, goddesslike in floating chiffon – and singing in a way that was all her own.She was a smash." It was at the Café Gala that <mask> was heard by Herbert Jacoby, the owner (with Max Gordon) of Manhattan's preeminent cabaret, the Blue Angel. Jacoby invited her to sing there. In January 1950, <mask> moved to New York; soon after she was performing on one of the Blue Angel's four-act bills. She would sing there on and off until 1959, sharing rosters with Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey, Imogene Coca, Orson Bean, Wally Cox, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Mathis, and other budding stars. <mask> sometimes performed in the front lounge, where her accompanist was William Roy, a young pianist and composer who was just beginning a fifty-year career as a musical director for many of cabaret's greatest performers. In 1951 <mask> would also appear at the New York lounge Celeste, accompanied by songwriter and pianist Bart Howard, who soon became the emcee at the Blue Angel.At Celeste, <mask> performed many of the songs (including "In Other Words," later retitled "Fly Me to the Moon") that she would gather on her album Let Me Love You:  <mask> <mask> Sings the Songs of Bart Howard. She championed Howard for the rest of her career. The singer had made an auspicious recorded debut with the album Love Songs for a Late Evening, released in 1953 by Columbia's Masterworks division, normally reserved for classical artists.

The singer was heard on Roberta, The Boys from Syracuse, On Your Toes, and Oklahoma! A recording of Noël Coward's Bitter Sweet, which featured <mask> and singer Robert Rounseville, remains unissued; according to <mask>, its release was nixed by Coward, who disapproved of it.Her other early recorded work include the 1956 album, Autumn Leaves (on the Dolphin label); she wrote arrangements for the album Stritch by Elaine Stritch, released on Dolphin in 1956. In 1954, <mask> originated the role of Miss Minerva Oliver in The Golden Apple, John Latouche's musical adaptation of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

In 1955, she contributed material to the Broadway review Almost Crazy, which lasted just 16 performances. She continued to sing at the Blue Angel and other cabarets, including New York's Bon Soir and Downstairs at the Upstairs, the Colony in London, and Bricktop's in Rome.

Her cabaret career, like the scene itself, was starting to wane, and in 1960 <mask> moved to Los Angeles. There she maintained a dual career as a writer of special musical material (for Carol Burnett, Debbie Reynolds, Marlene Dietrich, Julie Andrews,  and others) and as vocal coach to such actors as Rod Steiger. She also became an actress who specialized, inadvertently, in roles of nuns. In The Sound of Music (1965), <mask> played Sister Berthe, who saved the von Trapp family in pre-World War II Austria by sabotaging a Nazi car. <mask> uttered the memorable line, "Reverend Mother, I have sinned." The next year she appeared as Sister Elizabeth in the film comedy The Trouble with Angels. In 1967 <mask> appeared as Sister Benedict on the TV western The Big Valley in the episode titled "Days of Grace."She appeared in the movie Doctor Dolittle and worked as consulting producer and writer for the 1969 TV special, Debbie Reynolds and the Sound of Children. During her L.A. years, <mask> studied painting with celebrity portraitist and art teacher Richard McKenzie, who was Fred Astaire's son-in-law and who owned an art gallery in Beverly Hills. In honor of <mask>'s repeated castings as a nun, the gallery hosted an exhibition of nun paintings by <mask> and other artists. When her friend Rock Hudson was preparing to record his first and only album, Rock, Gently: Rock Hudson Sings the Songs of Rod McKuen (on the Stanyan label) in 1970, <mask> coached the actor vocally.

In the 1960s <mask> had sung little; her only album of that decade, Picadilly Pickle: Lady Nelson and the Lords, was a rock-and-roll spoof on which <mask> played Vox organ and didn't sing. Around 1971, she returned to New York and made a rare cabaret appearance at the short-lived club Mary Mary, owned by singer-actress Mary McCarty.In 1976, with a cabaret renaissance underway in New York and other cities, <mask> made her official singing comeback with an engagement at the Manhattan club Brothers & Sisters; thereafter she sang at other New York clubs (The Ballroom, Ted Hook's OnStage, Freddy's Supper Club) and at the Mocambo in San Francisco. Reviewing her appearance at The Ballroom, Rex Reed wrote:  "With silver hair rising to a peak atop sleek chiffon and mile-long pearls, Miss <mask> is as graceful and refined to observe as she is to listen to." Acting work, 1970s-1980s
From May through November 1976, <mask> played the small role of Therese, a spinster, in the touring company of The Baker's Wife, a musical by Stephen Schwartz and Joseph Stein.

In the early 1990s, a bout with throat and tongue cancer – which <mask>, who never smoked, blamed on her years of singing in smoky nightclubs – robbed her of her soprano voice. Within a couple of years she had resumed singing in a low, husky speech-song style, while devoting more attention to her songwriting. By the end of her career <mask> had written hundreds of songs, as well as scores for various book musicals and animated films.All went unproduced, but <mask> was lavished with accolades for her accomplishments. In October 1992, the Mabel Mercer Foundation honored her with its Premier Cabaret Classic Award. On January 20, 1993, at the inauguration of President Bill Clinton, the mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, a close friend of hers, sang the song that would become <mask>'s trademark, "Make a Rainbow". <mask> had written it in the 1960s and dedicated it to Horne's bi-racial daughter Angela. In 1996, <mask>'s "As I Remember Him" was voted Song of the Year by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC). That same year, Backstage magazine honored her for lifetime achievement at its annual Bistro Awards. Also in 1996, DRG Records issued This Life, a CD of her original songs as sung by cabaret artists Margaret Whiting, Amanda McBroom, Ann Hampton Callaway, Deborah Tranelli, Nancy LaMott, and <mask> herself.DRG also reissued <mask>'s three solo albums of the

<mask> (c. 1717 – c. 1794) was an English writer on agriculture, translator and editor. <mask> and Gottfried Sellius are known for being the first to prepare a French edition of Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopaedia for publication in 1745, which eventually resulted in the Encyclopédie published in France between 1751 and 1772. As writer on agriculture, <mask> is credited for publishing the earliest complete treatise on all branches of agriculture. His chief work, A New System of Practical Husbandry, in 5 volumes, appeared in 1767. It combines the results of the experience and observations of such writers as Evelyn, Duhamel, <mask>, and Jethro Tull, and was highly commended. <mask> was a warm advocate of small farms. Biography
<mask> was a person of considerable eminence in the 18th century, though little definite is known because no record exists of his life.From his manner of expression, it is possible he may have lived his early life in foreign countries a long time, possibly in France, but he was not born there. In 1741 he was staying in London, where he had made preparations to go to Jamaica. He cancelled those plans because, as he wrote "having met with something more advantageous which engages me to stay in England" <mask> married a French woman, and they had two children; one baptised in Paris on 27 April 1742 and another born in May 1743. In 1743 <mask> was in Paris for the purpose of bringing out, in concert with Gottfried Sellius, a German historian, a French edition of Ephraim Chambers's

This was the origin of the famous Encyclopédie. <mask>, unable to obtain redress, returned to England. In 1755 <mask> had started translation The History of the Roman Emperors, from Augustus to Constantine by Jean-Baptiste Louis Crévier from the French, and in 1763 <mask> continued and completed the Memoirs of the Court of Augustus, by Thomas Blackwell the younger.In the 1760s he found his true vocation as a writer on agriculture, which started with his translation in 1762 of Duhamel du Monceau's Practical Treatise of Husbandry. In 1766 he published an Essay on the Management of Bees. The A New System of Practical Husbandry, (1767) treated all branches of agriculture, and contains the first mention of the potato as grown in fields. In 1770 appeared a translation from the Latin of G.A. Gyllenberg's Natural and Chemical Elements of Agriculture; in 1772 an Essay on the Weather (translated into Dutch in 1772), and Essays, Moral, Philosophical, and Political (anonymous, but advertised under his name); and in 1776 a Treatise on Cattle. On 13 February 1766 <mask> was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society with Benjamin Franklin as one of his sponsors. He was the first foreign associate of the French Agricultural Society, on whose list his name, with London as his residence, appears from 1767 to 1784.He was also

Ephraim Chambers had first published his Cyclopaedia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences in two volumes in London in 1728, following several dictionaries of arts and sciences that had emerged in Europe since the late 17th century. This work became quite renowned, and four editions were published between 1738 and 1742.An Italian translation of this work appeared from 1747 to 1754. In France a member of the banking family Lambert began translating Chambers into French, but in 1745 <mask> and Gottfried Sellius were the first to actually prepare a French edition of Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopaedia for publication, which they entitled Encyclopédie. Early in 1745 <mask> and Sellius published a prospectus for the Encyclopédie to attract subscribers to the project. This four-page prospectus was illustrated by Jean-Michel Papillon, and accompanied by a plan (see image), stating that the work would be published in five volumes from June 1746 until

texts: the end of 1748. The text was translated by <mask> and Sellius, and it was corrected by an unnamed person, who appears to have been Denis Diderot. The prospectus was reviewed quite positively and cited at some length in several journals. The Mémoires pour l'histoire des sciences et des beaux arts journal praised the project as "voici deux des plus fortes entreprises de Littérature qu'on ait faites depuis long-tems" (here are two of the greatest efforts undertaken in literature in a long time).The Mercure Journal in June 1745 wrote a 25-pages article specifically praising Mill's role as translator; the Journal introduced <mask> as an English scholar who had been raised in France and who spoke both French and English as a native. The Journal reports that <mask> had discussed the work with several academics, was zealous about the project, had devoted his fortune to support this enterprise, and was the sole owner of the publishing privilege. However, the co-operation fell apart later in 1745. André Le Breton, the publisher commissioned to manage the undertaking, cheated <mask> out of the subscription money, claiming, for example, that <mask>' knowledge of French was inadequate. In a confrontation Le Breton physically assaulted <mask>. <mask> took Le Breton to court, but the court decided in Le Breton's favour. Le Breton replaced <mask> with Jean Paul de Gua de Malves, who in turn was later replaced by Denis Diderot.Soon after the court ruling, <mask> left for England. The History of the Roman

 Emperors, from Augustus to Constantine, 1755

<mask> re-emerged from the shadow in 1755 as the translator of The History of the Roman Emperors, from Augustus to Constantine. This work was originally written in 10 volumes by Jean-Baptiste Louis Crévier, who was Professor of Rhetoric in the Collège de Beauvais in Paris. <mask> had translated from the French the first two volumes, when in 1755 a review of this work was published in The monthly review of literary journal. The review introduced <mask> as the translator, with the following phrase:

Mr. <mask>, and his other works, we are alike strangers to; but have been informed he has published some tracts, with reputation, abroad; and that he was the first undertaker and promoter of the translation of Chambers's Cyclopædia into French... In Robert Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica (1824, p. 670) this translation was credited to another <mask> Esq., but this description clearly indicates we are dealing with one and the same person. The 1755 review was critical about Mill's translation skills, and stated:

...If he is an Englishman, which, but for his name, we should doubt, from his manner of expression, it is possible he may have lived so long in foreign countries, as to have somewhat lessened his acquaintance with his vernacular language: for we have met with few writers that have shewn themselves less masters of its purity, Mr. <mask> has judiciously observed, that "the great pest of speech is frequency of translation.No book was ever turned from one

 language to another, without imparting something of its native idiom; this is the most mischievous and comprehensive innovation; single words may enter by thousands, and 'the fabric of the tongue continue the fame; but new phraseology changes much at once, it alters not the single stones of the building, but the order of the columns." The review specifically expressed, that <mask> left his diction in a Gallic form, that renders it uncouth to an English ear. They hoped, that the remaining volumes would be more agreeable to the reader. It is unknown if <mask> fulfilled this expectation, but he did translate another eight volumes, which were published in the next years. A practical Treatise of Husbandry, 1759
<mask> first serious work in the field of agriculture, was the translation of Duhamel du Monceau's Practical Treatise of Husbandry, from the French. The full title of this translation is:

A practical Treatise of Husbandry: Wherein are contained many useful and valuable Experiments and Observations in the New Husbandry, collected during a Series of Years, by the celebrated, M. Duhamel Du Monceau, Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences dt Paris, Fellow of the Royal Society, London, &c. Also the most approved Practice of the best English Farmers, in the old Method of Husbandry. With Copper-Plates of several new and useful Instruments., 4tO.16s. Whiston, &c.

 whole. He translated only such experiments as seemed to him most instructive in the then modern practice of farming, either according to the old or new method. <mask> explained in the preface, that "Duhamel and his correspondents have set the world an example which has long been wanted, and greatly desired by all who have the good of their country at heart, and are in the least sensible of the importance of Agriculture. They have given us a series of experiments in this most useful art, continued for several years together, with accuracy and judgment, and related in a clear, distinct, manner." According to <mask> the work of Duhamel is noted for it empirical origin.Theory alone can avail but little in agriculture, <mask> declared, referring to the following observation by Francis Home:

Agriculture does not take its rise originally from reason, but from fact and experience. It is a branch of natural philosophy, and can only be improved from a knowledge of facts, as they happen in nature. It is by attending to these facts that the other branches of natural philosophy have been so much advanced during these two last ages. Medicine has attained its present per section, only from the history of diseases and cafes delivered down. Chemistry is now reduced to a regular system, by the means of experiments made either by chance or design. But where are the experiments in Agriculture to answer this purpose ? When I look round for such, I can find few or none.There then lies the impediment in the way of

texts:
 Agriculture. Books in that art, we are not deficient in: but the book which we want, is a book of experiments. Only after reading the three first volumes of Experiments published by M. Duhamel, Francis Home declared: "They are distinct, exact, conclusive so far as they have gone, and stand a model for experiments in Agriculture. What a shame for Great Britain, where Agriculture is so much cultivated, to leave its exact value to be determined by foreigners!" Memoirs of the court of Augustus, 1763

Another of <mask>' projects was the continuation and completion of the third volume of Memoirs of the court of Augustus in 1763
from the original papers of Thomas Blackwell. Blackwell's works, including An Enquiry into the Life and Writings of Homer (1735), Letters Concerning Mythology (1748) and Memoirs of the Court of Augustus (3 vols., 1753–63), established him as one of the premier figures in the Scottish Enlightenment. Blackwell had published the first two volumes between 1753 and 1757, and the third volume was printed off to p. 144, when Blackwell died.An advertisement prefixed to this volume explained the continuation:

"The proprietor, unwilling to let the sets of those gentlemen who had purchased the former volumes remain incomplete, put all the papers left by the author, relative to this work, into the hands of the present editor, who begs leave to observe, that those papers being, in general, Little more than loose leaves, detached notes, memorandums, and, very often, only bare hints of

A review of this work by Tobias Smollett in The Critical Review: Or, Annals of Literature stated, that "it is impossible for us to ascertain the particular passages of this publication that belong to Mr. <mask>; but we will venture to say, upon the whole, that this volume, both in point of composition and language, is not inferior to its two elder brothers." A new and complete system of practical husbandry, 1762–1765
<mask> wrote A new and complete system of practical husbandry, in five volumes, which were published between 1762 and 1765. The full titles of this work was:

 A new and complete system of practical husbandry, containing all that experience has proved to be most useful in farming, either in the old or new method, with a comparative view of both, and whatever is beneficial to the husbandman, or conducive 'to the ornament and improvement of the country gentleman's estate;

The five volumes of a new and complete system of husbandry, by <mask>, is the first publication on agriculture that presents all the branches of the art within the compass of one work.

This author conveys his meaning and intelligence in the true style of writing—cool and plausible, and with becoming diffidence on all scientific disquisitions. No dogmatism mars the placid tenor of his story.<mask> was a great stickler for small farms, almost cottier allotments; he did not see that any single bodily labour can effect but very little unless in combination, and that extensive projects employ most labour, and produce the largest results. A thick mist long clouded the human vision on that and similar points, and is not yet dispelled. Other works
The full titles of his other works <mask> authored were:
 "A treatise on cattle, showing the most approved methods of breeding, rearing, and fitting for use horses, asses, mules, horned cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, with directions for the proper treatment of them in their several diseases. To which is added a dissertation on their contagious diseases, carefully collected from the best authorities, and interspersed with remarks."

 "An essay

The treatise on cattle is an octavo volume of 491 pages, and treats horses, asses, mules, horned cattle, sheep, goats, and swine, with the cures of their disorders, which have a dissertation on their nature. The matter is more descriptive than that of Bradley, but not so practical in the application, though much merit is attached to the knowledge it shows of the origin and progress of the different animals. <mask> also translated "Duhamel's husbandry;" in 1759, "Natural and chemical elements of agriculture, from the Latin of Gustavus Adolphus Gyllenborg;" in 1770, and he was the reputed author of some essays, moral, philosophical, and political.Legacy
In the field of agricultural science <mask> was a proponent of a new movement named "horse-hoeing husbandry" or "new husbandry". This was based on the work of Jethro Tull, and supported by Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau in France, Michel Lullin de Chateauvieux in Switzerland, <mask> in England. <mask> translated their work, and introduced it in England, wherein for example Arthur Young learned about the work of Louis François Henri de Menon. In return <mask>'s main work A New and Complete System of Practical Husbandry was translated into German, and had its influence in the main land.

'Worlidge began the attempt, but failed in the comprehension required." However, by then most of the work of the proponents of "horse-hoeing husbandry" had become obsolete, due to the rapid progress of agriculture in those days. Specifically <mask>' Practical Husbandry was used as reference until the 1820s. Other of his works have also been credited until in our days. For example The Management of Bees, was called "one of the bee books which are worth reading over and over again."And the An Essay in the Weather Mills is considered unmatched for a long time "despite two centuries of philosophical work."

Beyer was killed on 11 February near Venlo, the Netherlands after dog-fighting with British Spitfires. During his career he was credited with 81 aerial victories, 4 on the Western Front and 77 on the Eastern Front. On 1 June 1943, <mask> was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of IV. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 3. <mask> was born on 22 April 1918 in Berlin-Grunewald at the time the capital of the German Empire. On 12 July 1941, <mask> was appointed Staffelkapitän (squadron leader) of the 8.Staffel of Jagdgeschwader 3 (JG 3—3rd Fighter Wing). He replaced Oberleutnant Winfried Schmidt who had been wounded the day before. On 1 April 1943, <mask> claimed his 80th aerial victory over a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 fighter. Group commander and death

On 31 May 1943, <mask> was transferred and command of 8. Staffel was passed on to Oberleutnant Emil Bitsch. As part of the Luftwaffe plan to expand its fighter force, a fourth Gruppe was to be added to every Geschwader. This was achieved by transferring some of the other Gruppens personnel and equipment.This created the nucleus of a newly formed Gruppe. IV. Gruppe of JG 3 was officially created on 1 June 1943 at Neubiberg Airfield and <mask> was selected as its first Gruppenkommandeur (group commander). The Gruppe was initially equipped with the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6, some carrying a pair of 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons installed in conformal gun pods under the wings. <mask> was not

Gruppe was ordered to an airfield at Ramacca, Sicily.There, the Gruppe supported German forces defending against the Allied invasion of Sicily. Due to the advancing Allied forces, the airfield had to be abandoned on 15 July, forcing the Gruppe to retreat to Leverano. <mask> claimed his first aerial victory in this theater of operations on 19 July when he shot down a Supermarine Spitfire fighter. On 23 July, the airfield at Leverona came under a heavy attack, killing one pilot and injuring six. The ground personnel suffered 30 killed and further 31 men were wounded. In the attack, the Gruppe lost 40 Bf 109s destroyed. In consequence, the airfield was abandoned by IV.Gruppe on 26 July, relocating to San Severo Airfield. On 21 August, approximately 50 to 60 Consolidated B-24 Liberator bombers without fighter escort were intercepted by Luftwaffe fighters from IV. Gruppe of JG 3 and I. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 77 (JG 77—77th Bomber Wing) in the vicinity of Naples. Luftwaffe fighter pilots claimed four bombers shot down, including one by <mask> who was credited with his 82nd aerial victory. IV. Gruppe was ordered back to Germany on 24 September where it was initially again based at Neubiberg Airfield. Over the following weeks, the Gruppe was assigned new pilots and aircraft and trained for Defense of the Reich missions.The head on attack was practiced in mock combat against Heinkel He 111 bombers from III.

The day the USAAF Fifteenth Air Force attacked Innsbruck and the Messerschmitt factory at Augsburg. Defending against this attack, Beyer claimed a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber shot down. On 28 January 1944, IV. Gruppe relocated to Venlo Airfield.On 11 February, the USAAF Eighth Air Force targeted the German railroad infrastructure at Frankfurt. In parallel to this attack, a formation of Martin B-26 Marauder bombers, escorted by Spitfire fighters, attacked various targets in Belgium. IV. Gruppe intercepted this formation in the vicinity of Liège. In this encounter, IV. Gruppe claimed two aerial victories but lost Beyer. Flying Bf 109 G-6 (Werknummer 411036—factory number), he was chased by Spitfire fighters and collided with a tree south of Liège.<mask> was buried with military honors at Venlo on 17 February and later reinterred at the Ysselsteyn German war cemetery.

Lynwood Thomas "<mask>" <mask> (January 11, 1910 – January 8, 1961) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball, primarily for the Detroit Tigers (1932–42) and Philadelphia Phillies (1943, 1946–49). He was a three-time All-Star (1935, 1936 & 1947), and a member of three Tigers' World Series teams (,  & ). Early years (1925–1933)
Born in Waco, Texas and brought up in El Dorado, Arkansas, the  <mask> was an all-around athlete, competing in tennis, golf, and football, as well as baseball. He received the nickname "Schoolboy" while playing on a men's team as a 15-year-old high school student. In 1932, <mask> played for the Beaumont Exporters in the Texas League, leading the league with a 2.34 earned run average and winning 19 games. The 1932 Exporters won 100 games and the Texas League championship, with <mask> pitching and future Detroit Tigers teammate Hank Greenberg leading the team in batting. Greenberg and <mask> were both called up to the Tigers in 1933.The 1934 and 1935 American League pennants
<mask> joined the Tigers in 1933, and the following year won 24 games (a 24–8 record), including an American League record 16 consecutive wins. In the 1934 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals' Gashouse Gang, <mask> was 1–1 in two starts with a 2.95 ERA. In Game 2, <mask> pitched a 12-inning complete game, allowing two earned runs and retiring 22 consecutive batters. In Game 6, <mask> pitched another complete game, allowing four runs, but Paul "Daffy" Dean held the Tigers to only three. Schoolboy finished fourth in the American League's 1934 Most Valuable Player voting behind teammates Mickey Cochrane, who won, and Charlie Gehringer. <mask> had another strong year in 1935 as the Tigers won their second consecutive American League pennant. He finished the regular season with a record of 19–13 with 21

He was the losing pitcher in the first game, a 3–0 Cubs victory, striking out eight batters, pitching a complete game and allowing only two earned runs. In Game 3, <mask> got the win, pitching four innings in relief. In Game 5, <mask> threw another complete game, allowing two earned runs as the Tigers lost 3–1. However, Detroit would go on to win Game 6 to clinch the World Series. <mask> developed into a pitcher with tremendous power and control. In the 1934 and 1935 seasons, he had 149 strikeouts (third in the AL) and 140 strikeouts (second in the AL), respectively.He also led the American League in strikeout-to-walk ratio in both 1934 and 1935 and finished in the top four in the league in bases on balls per 9 innings pitched seven times, including a career and league best 1.31 in 1943. <mask> also contributed to the Tigers' success in 1934 and 1935 with his hitting. In 1934, he hit for a .303 batting average and had eight doubles, two home runs, and 22 RBIs in 109 at bats. In 1935, he raised his average to .312 with three home runs and 28 RBIs in 109 at bats. In his 15 seasons in the big leagues, <mask> hit 18 home runs (14th best in major league history for a pitcher) and 153 RBIs. His career batting average was .263 (239-for-909). "How'm I Doing, Edna?"With his southern charm and eccentricities, <mask> <mask> became a fan favorite in Detroit. He was known as a superstitious player who carried amulets, talismans, and charms in his pockets, always picked up his glove with his left hand and even talked to the ball. <mask> was loved particularly by female fans for his good looks and public devotion to his high-school sweetheart, Edna Mary Skinner.

 September 13, 1934, nationally broadcast interview on the popular Rudy Vallee radio show, <mask> asked his fiancee, "How'm I doing, Edna honey?" The line became famous and the incident endeared Schoolboy to women across the country, but led to relentless heckling from fans and opposing players, who enjoyed taunting him with his own words: "How'm I doing, Edna?" During his 16-game win streak in 1934, a reporter asked him for his secret, and Schoolboy responded that he would "just eat a lot of vittles, climb on that mound, wrap my fingers around the ball and say to it, 'Edna, honey, let's go.'" Prior to the 1934 World Series, the Detroit News brought Edna to Detroit to write about baseball, Schoolboy, cooking or whatever she pleased.Pictures of Edna and <mask> or Edna posing with Babe Ruth were published in the newspapers as the nation became caught up in the courtship of <mask> and Edna. The couple married shortly after the 1934 World Series. Actor Nick LaMantia delivers the famous line "How'm I doing, Edna?" while playing <mask> <mask> in the 2015 feature film "Gore Orphanage."

<mask> continued his dominant pitching in 1936, with a 19–10 record for the Tigers. But in 1937 and 1938, Schoolboy's arm was showing wear, as he was limited to 31 and 21 innings before being sent down to the minor leagues. In 1939, <mask> returned to the Tigers and, in 1940, he led the American League with an .842 winning percentage—a record of 16–3.His 16 wins, 3.46 ERA, and 138 Adjusted ERA+ (5th in AL) were instrumental in leading the Tigers to the 1940 pennant, and he finished No. 7 in that year's AL Most Valuable Player voting, though he fared badly in the 1940 World Series as he lost two games and had an ERA of 17.18. In Game 2, he gave up 5 runs in  innings, and was knocked out in the first inning of Game 6. <mask>

Schoolboy missed the 1944 and 1945 seasons to wartime service in the U.S. Navy. He was assigned to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station where his former manager, Mickey Cochrane, put together an All-Star baseball team that included Schoolboy, Bob Feller, Johnny Mize and Billy Herman. The 1944 Great Lakes team compiled a 48–2 record, including an 11–1 record against major league teams. Schoolboy played as an outfielder as well as a pitcher and led the Great Lakes team with a .446 batting average. In one memorable game in August 1944, <mask> hit a double, a triple, and a home run for the Navy's Great Lakes team, and the local newspaper reported that "...it was his circuit clout which brought deafening roars from the 6,000 park customers. The 'Schoolboy' teed off on one of 'Slim' DeLion's slow curves and drove the horsehide straight over the center field fence, a tremendous wallop of at least 450 feet." In September 1944, the Army and Navy staged a military service World Series in Hawaii, billed by locals as the "real World Series", because so many of the best players in baseball were in the service.Schoolboy <mask> pitched for the Navy team that also included Dom DiMaggio and Phil Rizzuto. Admiral Nimitz threw out the first pitch, and <mask>'s Navy team swept the first six games and finally won eight while losing two and tying one. Later years (1946–1961)
After serving two years in World War II, the 36-year-old "Schoolboy" returned to the Phillies in top form. In 1946, <mask> was 11–4, led the league in winning percentage, and had a

That season, he also became the first and only pitcher in Major League history to be intentionally walked twice in the same game. He was released by the Phillies after the 1949 season and finished his pitching career in 1950, with San Diego in the Pacific Coast League.Schoolboy had a career 158–101 record, 913 strikeouts, and a 3.87 ERA. He spent two seasons 1954-1955 as the Tigers' pitching coach. During this time, after the Tigers made the third out, <mask> would pick up the baseball, then hand or toss it to the Tiger pitchers as they came out of the dugout to go to the mound. He did this to each except Ned Garver, who superstitiously preferred to pick the ball up off the ground. Later, <mask> worked as a Tigers scout assigned to cover Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and East Texas. <mask> died of a heart attack at age 50 on January 8, 1961 in El Dorado, Arkansas. See also

Selected Most Improved Player by his teammates. Transferee from San Francisco City College averaged 3.3 points and 1.0 rebounds and showed the ability to score in bunches.He got a season-high 17 points in a season-high 25 minutes vs. UCR, making 5-of-9 shots, 3-of-6 from the arc. He did not miss a free throw all season, making 18 of 18. On the Labor Day Weekend tour to British Columbia he was the Titans' No. 2 scorer at 12.7 points per game and grabbed 4.0 rebounds to go with 1.5 assists. During his first year at CSUF, the team won the NCAA Big West Conference title and was on their way to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tournament known as the "Big Dance," just the second time with the first being 30 years prior. They ended up, however losing in the first round to the much taller and bigger no. 3 seeded team of the Wisconsin Badgers.<mask>'s second and last year at Cal State Fullerton was also a great one. He was just 1 of 2 returning seniors. Lassiter received the Lyle Parks, Jr., Hustle Award from the Titan Athletics Club and his teammates voted him the Andrew Awad Toughness Award for inspiration, named in honor of the late former Titan player. He was described by Titans coach Bob Burton as "a tremendous defender (and) a really outstanding shooter." Professional career
He moved to the Philippines in October 2009 and was the overall #1 pick of the PBL drafted by Magnolia. Because of the fall through of the PBL, <mask> was then picked up by Smart Gilas Pilipinas National Team. In the 2011 Commissioner's Cup, and due to the leave of absence by

He was ranked #16 overall in efficiency at 30.79%

Entering the PBA draft
On July 28, 2011, <mask> Lassiter was one of the first 10 applicants for the 2011 PBA draft. At that time, there had been no announcements regarding an extension of the Smart Gilas Pilipinas National program. It was not until August 16, 2011, that an extension of the program was revealed. Gilas management revealed the names of those targeted to be retained, which included Lassiter. Despite word that offers were set to take place that next day, nothing was done to retain any of the players initially mentioned, and they were even given the "OK" to continue with the draft. This was quite unfortunate for the Smart Gilas program, as many of the players were waiting for an offer and still undecided with a chance to pull out of the draft.On August 28, 2011, Lassiter was selected 4th overall in the draft by Powerade Tigers. Smart Gilas teammate JVee Casio was also chosen by the Tigers as the first overall pick. Powerade Tigers (2011–2012)
The team finished with 6 wins and 8 losses and ranked 8th after the elimination in the 2011–12 Philippine Cup. With teammate Gary David averaging almost 30 points per game during the playoffs, they had managed to beat the

They lost the Finals to Talk 'N Text, 4–1.He was one of the starters for the RSJ team alongside Smart Gilas teammates JV Casio, Dylan Ababou and Chris Lutz alongside B-Meg point guard Josh Urbiztondo for the 2012 All-Star Game. Petron Blaze Boosters / San Miguel Beermen (2012–present)
On April 20, 2012, the Philippine Basketball Association approved the trade in which Powerade sent <mask> <mask> and Celino Cruz to the Petron Blaze Boosters for Rey Guevarra, Rabeh Al-Hussaini, and Lordy Tugade. However, an injury prevented him to play for the entire duration of the 2012 PBA Governors Cup. He played his first game as a Booster, on October 26, 2012, at the final minute of their contest against GlobalPort through a 3-pointer. The next game, Lassiter only scored 5 points on 2-for-7 from the field. He misses his five 3-point attempts in that game in a loss to the Air21 Express. On November 14, Lassiter recorded his first double-figure scoring output with 12 points to go along with 2 rebounds in 21 minutes of playing time on a 96–86 win over the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.In the 2014–15 Philippine Cup, Lassiter helped San Miguel win its twentieth franchise title after defeating Alaska in a hard-fought seven-game series. The title was also Lassiter's first championship in the PBA. Lassiter had previously been in the PBA Finals twice with Powerade in the 2011–12 Philippine Cup and with San Miguel, his current team in the 2013 Governors' Cup. On May 17, 2015,

<mask> (born April 14, 1938, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American biochemist and the Chancellor’s Leadership Chair in Biochemistry and Biophysics for Science and Education at the University of California, San Francisco. He has done important work studying the protein complexes which enable chromosome replication when living cells divide. He is known as an original author of the "canonical, influential, and best-selling scientific textbook" Molecular Biology of the Cell, and as Editor-in-Chief of Science magazine. <mask> was the president of the National Academy of Sciences from 1993 to 2005. He is known for his work in forming science public policy, and has served as United States Science Envoy to Pakistan and Indonesia. He has stated that "Science education should be about learning to think and solve problems like a scientist—insisting, for all citizens, that statements be evaluated using evidence and logic the way scientists evaluate statements." He is an Honorary Fellow of St Edmund's College, Cambridge.Education
After graduating from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois, <mask> attended Harvard College, as a pre-medicine major. Bored by assigned laboratory "cooking classes", he petitioned to skip the physical chemistry laboratory requirement and instead was allowed to work with his tutor Jacques Fresco, in Paul M. Doty's laboratory. The summer's research led to the publication of two successful papers on mismatch errors in the helical structures of DNA and RNA, and <mask> decided to continue on in biophysics. He graduated with his A.B. in biochemical sciences, summa cum laude, in 1960. <mask> then worked with Paul M. Doty on an "enormously ambitious" thesis on DNA replication, attempting to solve the genetic code using nearest neighbor analysis of DNA polymerase. After failing his first oral

 examination in spring 1965, he completed his Ph.D. research in fall 1965.His doctorate in biophysics was published by Harvard University in 1966. Alberts credits his initial failure with teaching him much more than his successes. "That was a very important learning experience for me. I had decided that experimental strategy was everything in science, and nobody had ever told me anything about this." Career
After graduating, <mask> went to the Institut de Biologie Moléculaire at the University of Geneva as a postdoctoral fellow, and worked with Richard H. Epstein on genes involved in DNA replication of phage T4. Epstein and his students had shown that there were at least seven different proteins needed for replication of T4 DNA. Alberts decided to do something that no one else was doing, and developed a DNA column for the purification of proteins that bound to DNA.This enabled him to purify T4 Bacteriophage Gene 32. In 1966, <mask> joined the Department of Biochemical Sciences at Princeton University as an Assistant Professor. In 1971, he became an Associate Professor and in 1973 a full Professor, holding the Damon Pfeiffer Professorship in life sciences from 1975 to 1976. At Princeton, he continued to work in the area of protein biochemistry, reconstituting systems. In 1976, <mask> accepted a position as professor and vice-chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. Also in 1976, he and his students were able to add all seven proteins to double-stranded DNA in an appropriate magnesium concentration to make DNA. More years of research were spent understanding the reactions involved.Another important step in understanding DNA synthesis was realizing that leading strand DNA polymerase and lagging strand DNA polymerase were coupled. <mask> was

<mask> was born in Lancaster County, South Carolina (now Kershaw County) on October 17, 1826 to <mask> and Edith Hilton. He was the fourth born of eight children. <mask>' father, <mask> (1799–1871), born in Lancaster County, was the son of <mask>, who fought with General Francis Marion ("The Swamp Fox") in the Revolutionary War. The <mask> family has been traced back to a <mask>, an immigrant from Wales, who settled near Roanoke, Virginia but removed to South Carolina. <mask>' mother, Edith Hilton (1800–1871), born in Lancaster County, was the daughter of Samuel Hilton, a member of a prominent South Carolina family, who also served with General Marion.<mask> <mask> moved his family to Opelika, Alabama in 1832. He either remained in Alabama, coming to Louisiana only near the end of his life, or moved his family to Feliciana Parish, Louisiana in 1832 and became a substantial planter. (Sources differ) Whatever the case, William and Edith Hilton <mask> resided at Jackson, Louisiana near the end of their lives in 1871. Mexican–American war
<mask> <mask> enlisted in military service for the Mexican–American War (1846–1848). Medical practice

<mask> came to Louisiana in 1848 and enrolled at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, from which he graduated in 1852. <mask> entered medical practice at Jackson, Louisiana, which proved to be lucrative.

 the outbreak of the Civil War, <mask> organized 115 men at Buehler's Plains (an unincorporated community in northern East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, which was founded by German immigrant <mask> Buehler and located 11 miles south of Jackson, Louisiana.) into a cavalry unit called the Plains Guards, which he led as captain. The Plains Guards participated in the Battle of Baton Rouge. In 1865, Captain <mask> was traveling on a steamboat in the Tombigbee River, when the boiler exploded. He was the only survivor of the accident, but suffered serious injury, including damage to his eyesight. Post Civil War medical practice

The end of the Civil War found <mask> in poor health with impaired vision and reduced financial condition. <mask>'s impaired vision left him unable to practice medicine; however, he was able to engage in the retail drug trade at Jackson.It was not until 1869 that he was able to resume the practice of medicine, in which he engaged until 1874. Superintendent of the Insane Asylum

In 1874, <mask> was appointed to the position of Superintendent  of the Louisiana State Insane Asylum, founded in 1847, (now the East Louisiana State Hospital), which was located near Jackson . In that poverty-stricken, post-civil war time of  reconstruction, he found the institution to be in terrible condition. The inmates had no clothes to wear and little food. <mask> had to provide funds out of his own pocket. He organized the stronger inmates into farm workers and had them start gardens to provide food for the hospital. <mask> purchased a brick-making machine and set the inmates to work making bricks.After amassing 3 million bricks of excellent quality, he was able to get the state legislature to

 appropriate funds to build decent buildings with the bricks the inmates had produced. Five buildings were built with the bricks and the capacity of the Asylum was increased from 166 to over 600, which permitted the closure of the infamous Marine Hospital at New Orleans, with 130 inmates being transferred in one day. <mask> appointed his son, Philip Huff <mask>, M. D., to be assistant superintendent. After fourteen years of service and with the Asylum now greatly enlarged, improved, and providing humane care to its inmates, <mask> resigned from his position as Superintendent and returned to private life.

<mask> (; 1831–1915) was an English positivist, trades union activist, and historian. Life
He was born on 23 January 1831 in Feckenham, Worcestershire, the eldest son of the Rev. <mask> and his wife, Mary Fitzgerald, of Queen's county, Ireland. After reading Latin and Greek with his father, in the autumn of 1846 he was sent to King William's College on the Isle of Man, an evangelical establishment whose inadequate instruction and low moral tone were later depicted in Eric, or, Little by Little, by his school friend F. W. Farrar. In 1849 <mask> entered Wadham College, Oxford, another evangelical stronghold and the original centre of the English positivist movement. He held two exhibitions and a Bible clerkship. His flair for quoting scripture yielded to radical rhetoric under the influence of his tutor Richard Congreve, a covert disciple of Auguste Comte's positivism.Along with his Wadham friends Frederic Harrison and John Henry Bridges, Beesly actively engaged in the debates of the Oxford Union and became recognised as a Comtist, though his adhesion to the French philosophy was still tenuous. Beesly received his BA in 1854 and proceeded MA in 1857. After failing to secure a first class (he obtained seconds in classical moderations and literae humaniores) or a fellowship, he became an assistant master at Marlborough College. His brother Augustus Henry, a historian and classical scholar, also taught at the school. Beesly left for London in 1859 to serve as principal of University Hall, a student residence in Gordon Square serving University College. The next year he was appointed professor of history there and professor of Latin at Bedford College for women, with a combined salary of £300. He also had a private income.His tall, willowy figure became a familiar sight in the Reform Club and

texts: London drawing-rooms, including that of George Eliot and George Henry Lewes, whose Fortnightly Review welcomed Beesly's articles. Beesly joined Congreve, Bridges, and Harrison, both now in London, in supporting the struggle of the workers in the building trades for shorter hours. He also attacked the economic theories used by critics of the "new model" trade unions of the 1860s. The notoriety he gained culminated in 1867, when he declared in the aftermath of the "Sheffield outrages" that a trade union murder was no worse than any other: he almost lost his post at University Hall and Punch dubbed him "Dr Beastly". His radical agenda included promoting international solidarity among working-class leaders. He helped organise the most important pro-Union demonstration in England during the American Civil War, and he chaired the historic meeting (28 September 1864) advocating co-operation between English and French workers in support of Polish nationalism, which led to the formation of the International Working Men's Association (the First International), soon dominated by his friend Karl Marx. Foreign affairs were always a passion of Beesly's.For International Policy, a positivist volume published in 1866, he wrote on British sea power, asserting a connection between Protestantism and commercial immorality. A critic of imperialism, he was a member of the committee founded in 1866 to prosecute <mask>, governor of Jamaica [see Jamaica committee]. Beesly and other positivists incurred hostility for advocating intervention on the side of France in the Franco-Prussian War, and for defending the Paris commune. Their republican views found expression not only in the press but also at the positivist centre in Chapel Street (now Rugby Street) that they opened in 1870 under Congreve's direction. There

When Congreve repudiated their Paris co-religionists in 1878, Beesly, Harrison, Bridges, and others formed their own positivist society, with Beesly as president, and opened a rival centre, Newton Hall, in a courtyard off Fleet Street. Beesly headed its political discussion group, which produced occasional papers.Retirement from University College in 1893 (he had left Bedford College in 1889) enabled him to found and edit the Positivist Review. In 1881, Beesly attended the early meetings of the Democratic Federation, but he was soon marginalised, and returned to the Liberal Party by the middle of the decade. In 1869 <mask> married Emily, youngest daughter of Charles John Crompton, justice of the queen's bench, and his wife, Caroline. The <mask>s lived in University Hall until 1882, when they moved to Finsbury Park. Mrs <mask> was not a positivist—as were her brothers Albert and Henry Crompton—but she shared some of her husband's political and historical interests. He unsuccessfully stood for parliament as a Liberal at Westminster in November 1885 and at Marylebone in July 1886. <mask> became president of the women's liberal association of Paddington after their move to Warrington Crescent in 1886.Both advocated Irish home rule, he in hard-hitting articles, she in new lyrics for The Wearing of the Green. In 1878 he published Catiline, Clodius, and Tiberius, and she brought out her Stories from the History of Rome, written for their four sons. She died in 1889, aged forty-nine. Beesly's later publications included seventy-four biographical entries on military and political figures for the positivists' New Calendar of Great Men, and Queen Elizabeth, both of which

Beesly was not only friendly with Marx, but was well acquainted with his circle. He knew Lafargue, he got to know Engels, and there were mutual acquaintances, such as Eugene Oswald. Among workmen, he was not only the friend of George Odger, Robert Applegarth and Lucraft, but was on close terms with such working-class confidants of Marx as Jung and Eccarius, and to a lesser extent with Dupont. In the sixties he was a familiar figure, not only in the offices of the Carpenters and Joiners, the London Trades Council or The Bee-Hive, but was also at home in the "Golden Ball" where the most radical of London's workmen talked with continental revolutionaries over a clay pipe and a pot of beer. Here one could get the flavour of European proletarian politics: that other “World of Labour” in whose ideals Beesly was as deeply interested as he was in those of English trades unionism. Indeed, for many years he expressed his desire for the amalgamation of trade unionism – with its implicit recognition of the priority of social questions—, and proletarian republicanism – with its generous enthusiasm and its larger view.
