 absent from the governor's credentials, while the NYSC reissued a corrected version of the governor's NYSC discharge certificate, while apologizing for being responsible for the initial error. The Federal High Court in Abuja eventually struck out a certificate forgery case instituted against the governor by the All Progressives Congress (APC), his former political party. He said the ruling was victory for truth, and victory rule of law. He said the case against him was a most needless attempt by desperate individuals trying to undo the will of the people through the backdoor. On 16 June 2020, Obaseki resigned his membership from the All Progressives Congress. On 19 June 2020, Obaseki decamped to the People's Democratic Party and declared his intentions to seek re-election on the platform. PDP described him as a big catch.On 20 September 2020, The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Obaseki the winner of the Edo State gubernatorial election, He won against his major opponent from the All Progressives Congress Osagie Ize Iyamu with a total number of 307,955 votes. Controversy
An  alleged  certificate forgery suit was instituted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against Gov. Obaseki. According to the Premium times publication on 9 January 2021, the Federal High Court in Abuja  dismissed the certificate forgery suit instituted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against Governor <mask> <mask> of Edo State. Personal life
Obaseki is married to Betsy Bene <mask>, a financial expert. She holds a Bachelor and Master's degree in Accounting from the University of Lagos, and an alumna of the Kellog's School of Business Executive Management Programme, USA. He is also an avid golfer.See also

<mask> of Norway (Old Norse Ingibjörg Hákonardóttir, Swedish <mask>tter, Norwegian Ingebjørg Håkonsdatter; 1301 – 17 June 1361), was a Norwegian princess and by marriage a Swedish royal duchess with a position in the regency governments in Norway (1319–27) and Sweden (1319–26) during the minority of her son, King Magnus of Norway and Sweden. In 1318–1319, she was Sweden's de facto ruler, and from 1319 until 1326, she was Sweden's first de jure female regent. Life

Early life
<mask> was born in 1301 as the only legitimate daughter of King Håkon V of Norway from his marriage with Euphemia of Rügen. As a child, she was first betrothed to Magnus Birgerson, the son and designated heir of Birger, King of Sweden. Soon afterwards the engagement was however broken for altered political reasons, and in 1305 she was betrothed to Eric, Duke of Södermanland, a younger brother of King Birger, thus uncle of her first betrothed. In 1312, <mask> and Eric were formally married in a double wedding in Oslo; at the same time, her cousin <mask>ttir of Norway, married Eric's brother duke Valdemar Magnusson. At her wedding, her mother Queen Euphemia had published the recently translated (by her command) famous poems, the Euphemia songs.The couple had two children before Duke Eric was murdered. Leader of the Ducal party
Upon the imprisonment of her spouse and her brother-in-law, she and her cousin and sister-in-law, <mask> Eriksdottir, became the leaders of their spouses' followers. On 16 April 1318, the two duchesses <mask> made a treaty in Kalmar with the Danish duke <mask>er of Halland-Samsö and archbishop Esgar of Lund to free their husbands and not to make peace with the kings of Sweden and Denmark before they agreed to this, and the two duchesses promised to honor the promises they gave in return in the names of

 their husbands. Later the same year, their husbands were confirmed to have died. Regency

Her son Magnus VII of Norway, at the age of 3, was proclaimed king of Norway upon her father's death, in rights devolved from her. <mask> was recognized as formal regent of her son in Norway. Soon, the Swedish nobility elected young Magnus king of Sweden after deposing Birger, and <mask> was made nominal regent of Sweden and given a seat and vote in the Swedish government and the title: Ingeborg, by the Grace of God, daughter of Haakon, duchess in the Kingdom of Sweden.Duchess <mask> held her own court at her residence in Varberg. Letters 1318-1321 reveal that powerful Swedish men took advantage of the young dowager duchess by having her issue, alone and over her own seal, documents to their advantage as compensation for their support of the murdered dukes Eric and Waldemar and of little Magnus's right to the throne. The exact position of Ingeborg in the regency council is hard to define properly due to the documentation. Mats Kettilumndsson, her ally, presided over the Swedish regency council "alongside" the two "duchesses Ingeborg"; <mask> Håkansdotter and her cousin and sister-in-law <mask> Eriksdottir. Magnus, already King of Norway, was elected King of Sweden with the approval of the Norwegian council in her presence. <mask> was the only one with a seat in both the Swedish and the Norwegian minor regency and council of state. She was duchess of her own fiefs, which were autonomous under her rule, and a large number of castles which controlled big areas thanks to their strategic positions."Ingeborg's position at court was not well-defined: she was the king's mother (Kongemor), but without being a dowager queen." Favourites
She was criticized for her way of conducting her own politics without the counsel

 of the Swedish and Norwegian councils, and for using the royal seal of her son for her own wishes. 1 October 1320, she liberated Riga from its debts in her name on behalf of her son. She was known to make large donations to her supporters. Canute Porse had been one of the supporters of her spouse and was appointed governor of Varberg. Ingeborg surrounded herself with young foreign men, thought to affect her politics, of which Canute was the most known. 12 April 1321, the Swedish council, after receiving complaints from the Norwegian council regarding a rumour of crimes and disturbances in Ingeborg's lands made by foreigners, told the Norwegian council to advise Ingeborg to listen more to the advice of the old experienced men in the councils rather than to young inexperienced foreign men; a law was created which banned foreigners in the Swedish council.The Scania affair
<mask> and Canute had the ambition to make the then Danish Scania a part of her possessions. In 1321, <mask> arranged a marriage with her daughter Euphemia and Albert II, Duke of Mecklenburg. The marriage was arranged with the terms that Mecklenburg, Saxony, Holstein, Rendsburg and Schleswig would assist <mask> in the conquest of Scania. This was approved by the council of Norway but not Sweden. To finance the invasion, <mask> took a loan from Stralsund with free trade in Sweden and Norway as security. When <mask>'s forces under command of Canute invaded Scania in 1322–23, Mecklenburg betrayed her to Denmark and the alliance was broken. Conflict with the councils and diminished power
In 1322, open conflict broke out between Ingeborg and the Swedish regency council; the council of state made an agreement that no order from Ingeborg should hereby be accepted without the approval from the entire council, and all agreements made with

 her by individual councillors was hereby annulled.In 1323, <mask> was forced to accept the terms and give up several of her strategical castles and fiefs. 20 February 1323, also the Norwegian regency council rebelled against Ingeborg. She was accused of misusing the royal seal, to have broken the peace with Denmark and for greater costs, and was replaced as head of the regency. After 1323, Ingeborgs power was limited to what was approved by votes in the councils, which in practice had deposed her. 14 February 1326, in exchange for having her debts paid, <mask> gave up several fiefs and was forced to send Canute into exile and was stripped from all political authority in the Swedish regency council. In the Norwegian regency council, however, her signature was still needed in the peace treaty between Norway and Sönderjylland 14 June 1327. <mask> married her lover Canute Porse (d. 1330), a noble from less than royal circles, in 1327.While Canute was allowed to become Duke of Halland and holder of <mask>'s inherited estates, her marriage was another reason why Swedes, and also increasingly Norwegians, did not allow <mask> to use her governmental power in these kingdoms. The year of her second marriage, <mask> was stripped from her power also in the Norwegian regency council. Later life
Her husband was made Duke of Estonia in 1329. In 1330, she again became a widow. Her younger sons became dukes of Halland. Her eldest son became an adult in 1332, and the same year, <mask> secured Swedish  superiority (until 1360) over Scania. After the death of her second husband, Ingeborg again took an important position in the life of her son the king, but it is not known how much influence she had on him.In 1336, <mask> welcomed her daughter Euphemia and her son-in-law Albert of Mecklenburg, Rudolf I, Duke of

In 1341, <mask> and the counts Henry and Claus of Holstein went to war against Valdemar of Schleswig, John of Holstein and the Hanseatic league in Denmark. <mask> was residing at Kalundborg in Denmark at the time and was attacked by King Valdemar IV there; after two years of alternating conflicts and agreements the matter was settled against King Valdemar, who however regained Copenhagen Castle. King Magnus sealed the peace by telling Valdemar to keep the promise he had made to Ingeborg in the peace treaty. In 1350, she inherited the title and position of Duke of Halland from her younger son. Children and family
With Eric, Duke of Södermanland, Ingeborg had two children:

 Magnus VII of Norway (1316–1374)
 Euphemia of Sweden, duchess of Mecklenburg (1317–c. 1370)

With Canute Porse, Duke of Halland and Estonia, Ingeborg had three children:

 Haakon, Duke of Halland, died 1350
 Canute, Duke of Halland, died 1350
 Birgitta, married Jon Hafthorsson and had issue

Legacy
The controversy around <mask>'s second marriage and the potential succession of her son Haakon to the Norwegian throne are an important part of the plot of the novel Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset.References

<mask> (, September/October 501 – 30 May 531), courtesy name Deshi (), formally Crown Prince Zhaoming (昭明太子, literally "Accomplished and Understanding Crown Prince"), was a Crown Prince of the Chinese Liang Dynasty, posthumously honored as Emperor Zhaoming (). He was the oldest son of Emperor Wu of Liang, whom he predeceased. <mask>'s enduring legacy is the literary compendium Wen Xuan (Selections of Refined Literature). Birth and childhood
<mask> was born to <mask>, then a Southern Qi general nearing final victory in a civil war against the cruel and violent emperor <mask>an, in winter 501. He was born at <mask>'s power base of Xiangyang, to <mask>'s concubine Ding Lingguang (). (<mask>'s wife Chi Hui () had died in 499, and from that point on he had only concubines and never made any of them his wife.) After <mask>'s victory later in 501, he forced Emperor He of Southern Qi, whom he had supported as a rival claimant to the Southern Qi throne, to yield the throne to him in 502, ending Southern Qi and starting Liang Dynasty (as its Emperor Wu).The officials requested that he make <mask>, then an infant, the crown prince, and while Emperor Wu initially declined on account that the empire had not been pacified, he did so in winter 502, when <mask> was only one year old. After <mask> was created crown prince, his mother Consort Ding, while not made empress, was given a special status co-equal with her son. <mask> was said to be intelligent, kind, and obedient to his parents from his childhood. As per customs of the time, in 506, he was housed in the Yongfu Mansion (), the residence for the crown prince, in his childhood, but he missed his parents, and so every few days or so Emperor Wu would spend several days at Yongfu Mansion. (Whether Consort Ding did the same is not recorded in history.) In 515, he went

 through his rite of passage and was declared an adult, and Emperor Wu bestowed him a crown. As adult
As Emperor Wu was an avid Buddhist, <mask> also became one, and he studied sutras intently, often inviting Buddhist monks to his palace to preach and to discuss Buddhist doctrines.After his rite of passage, Emperor Wu also began to gradually have him handle more and more matters of state, becoming less involved in the day-to-day operations of the empire. In 522, <mask>'s uncle <mask> () the Prince of Shixing died. By custom, a crown prince would not hold a mourning period for an uncle, but <mask> believed this custom to be unfilial, and therefore requested the officials to further discuss the matter. After the official <mask>o () suggested that he hold a one-month mourning period, he agreed, and in fact made this a precedent for the Liang Dynasty. During this period, <mask> and others compiled a compendium of ancient poetry and texts, which he referred to as Wenxuan (文選, "Selections of Refined Literature"), which was later known after his death, by his posthumous name, as the Zhaoming Wenxuan (). It is a work of historical importance, as it preserved many ancient texts which otherwise might have been lost. In 526, Consort Ding grew ill, and <mask> spent his days attending to her without rest.She died in winter 526, and <mask> was so saddened that he ate nothing. It was after Emperor Wu tried to console him by pointing out that he should not harm his body and that he still had his father that <mask> began to take porridge, but he ate nothing further. He was described to be fairly obese until that point, but he lost a lot of weight during the mourning period for Consort Ding. Death
The death of Consort Ding brought about a disastrous effect in <mask>'s relationship with his father, however. <mask> sought out

However, once Consort Ding was buried, a Taoist monk informed <mask> that he believed that the land would bring ill fortune for Consort Ding's oldest son—<mask>. <mask> therefore allowed the monk to bury a few items intended to dissolve the ill fortune, such as wax ducks, at the position reserved for the oldest son.Later on, when one of <mask>'s attendants, Bao Miaozhi (), was squeezed out of <mask>'s inner circles by another attendant, Wei Ya (), he, in resentment, reported to Emperor Wu that Wei had carried out sorcery on <mask>'s behalf. When Emperor Wu investigated, waxed ducks were found, and Emperor Wu became surprised and angry, and wanted to investigate further. He only stopped the investigation when he was advised to do so by the prime minister Xu Mian, executing only the Taoist monk who had suggested the burial of wax ducks. <mask> became humiliated in the affair, and was never able to clear himself completely in his father's eyes. <mask> died in 531. Even when he was very ill, because he was afraid to make Emperor Wu be concerned about him, he still personally wrote submissions to his father. After his death, Emperor Wu personally attended his wake and buried him at a tomb appropriate for an emperor.He also summoned <mask>'s oldest son, <mask> () the Duke of Huarong back to the capital Jiankang, preparing to create <mask> crown prince to replace his father. However, still resentful over the wax duck affair, he hesitated for days without carrying out the creation, and finally did not do so. Instead, against popular opinion, he

Research

The fruit fly as a model for human neurodegenerative disease
In 1998, <mask>'s research conclusively demonstrated that Drosophila could be used as an in vivo model for human neurodegenerative disease.Using this model, <mask>'s research group subsequently discovered unexpected and novel pathways that play a role in normal biology, injury, and disease. In the pioneering study that showed that the fruit fly can be used as a model of disease, <mask>'s laboratory collaborated with human geneticists to examine the effects of expressing normal and mutant forms of a human neurodegenerative polyQ disease protein. Flies that expressed the mutant form of the protein showed symptoms and characteristics similar to those seen in human polyQ disease patients; flies that expressed the normal protein did not.

 group elucidated an important role for molecular chaperones in polyQ diseases, and subsequently Parkinson's disease. In those studies, upregulation of the chaperone Hsp70 suppressed neurodegeneration, and this finding established chaperones as a new therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. <mask>'s research team demonstrated the pharmacologic potential of chaperones in further Drosophila studies; administering geldanamycin (an antitumor antibiotic that acts on Hsp90) to mutant flies before symptoms of neural decline were visible averted the onset of neurodegeneration in the mutant flies, suggesting a new approach for people susceptible to Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.

<mask>'s research laboratory developed and validated a Drosophila model for familial ALS, then used an ALS model to evaluate genes and pathways important for ALS onset, progression, and possible treatment.Through these studies, <mask>'s team, in collaboration with Aaron Gitler, discovered that ATXN2 (the gene that encodes the protein Ataxin-2) was a disease susceptibility gene for ALS, and that interrupting the interaction between TDP-43 and Ataxin-2 was a promising target for treating ALS and other diseases. A role for brain microRNAs in aging and disease
The <mask> lab discovered that a conserved microRNA, miR-34, plays a neuroprotective role in the brains of aging Drosophila. The loss of miR-34 resulted in a

 profile consistent with accelerated aging, late-onset brain neurodegeneration, and reduced survival, whereas upregulation of miR-34 enhanced survival and mitigated neurodegeneration. An epigenetic basis for Alzheimer's disease
In 2018, <mask>, with collaborators Shelley Berger, Brad Johnson, and others, completed a study investigating the epigenetic landscape of tissue samples donated by individuals who did and did not have Alzheimer's disease. The findings established the basis for an epigenetic link between aging and Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a new model for the disease and a paradigm shift from the previously established view of Alzheimer's disease as an 'advanced state of normal aging'. Based on the study findings, <mask> and collaborators established that a set of normal aging changes that occur in the epigenome protect against Alzheimer's disease, and that disrupting those normal protective changes may be a trigger that predisposes people to the disease.

<mask> (born April 26, 1953) is an American musician, businessman, and educator. In 1998, <mask> was honored by the City of Austin as a musician of cultural significance and awarded a mayoral proclamation by Mayor Kirk Watson for 25 years of musical contributions as one of the earliest pioneers of Texas glam rock, punk rock, and hard rock. <mask> made his public music performance debut in 1971 and has since been recognized by many as an influential genre-defining artist. Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid described <mask> as "a veritable missing link in a transitional period in American popular music." Music critic Greg Tate wrote that "in retrospect, [<mask>’s style] may have been the most provocative challenge to the hierarchy and status quo of rock imaging at the time." He is the founder and executive director of Deux Voix Ltd., LLC, an Austin-based artist development enterprise, working with afro-centric bands and artists such as Death, Francis M’Bappe, Living Colour, and Andre Cymone. Over the course of 40 years, <mask> was a part of many prominent Texas bands: Franklin’s Mast, Fools, the Skyscrapers, the Bats, the Shades, Banzai Kik, Chill Factor, Rawhead TechX, Spy vs. Spy, Solid Senders, the Cosmopolitans, Dino Lee’s Luv Johnson, One Fell Swoop, Papa Mali & the Instagators, R.C.Banks, the Paradigm, and Bevis & the Painkillers. Early life
<mask> was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1953. His father, <mask>, owned a barbershop that was frequented by famous musicians such as Bobby Bland, Ike Turner, and Johnny Otis, who performed at the nearby Five-Four Ballroom. He spent his adolescent years in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he practiced the drums every night throughout high school. During his time there, Wichita Falls High School was a newly integrated establishment. <mask> is recognized as one of the earliest prominent Black contributors to the Austin music scene. In high school, <mask> met his first major collaborator, musician Jimmy Lee Saurage.In

During their tenure, the band played opening shows for notable Texas groups including ZZ Top and Trapeze. While Franklin's Mast toured Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas, <mask> was one of the few prominent Black Austin-based musicians. According to Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid, <mask> was "integral to the dawn of Austin’s modern ascendency into the ranks of the world’s great music cities, back when the Armadillo World Headquarters had barely opened its doors, and the Vaughan Brothers were being whispered about." In 1978, <mask> joined Saurage, songwriter Christopher K. Bailey, and bassist Byron Davies to form the Skyscrapers. They frequently performed at Austin nightclubs such as the Continental Club on Congress Avenue. These performances upped their profile, leading them to open for the Ramones in a sold-out show at the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1979.After the success of the Skyscrapers, <mask> emerged as a frontman for the Bats (later renamed Banzai Kik), a band he formed with Bailey, bassist Courtney Audain, and drummer Billy Blackmon in 1980. In 1981, they recorded a 10-song demo with British producer John Rollo at Indian Creek Studios in Uvalde, Texas. After a few more years headlining local clubs with Banzai Kik, <mask> moved to New York City to pursue recording opportunities in 1983. In the late 1980s, <mask> became a founding member of the Black Rock Coalition, a New York-based artists collective and nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the creative freedom and works of Black musicians. <mask> was a member of the Black Rock Coalition Orchestra, a 28-piece ensemble that received national coverage in publications including Rolling Stone. In 1986, <mask> performed in the debut show of the Black Rock Coalition Orchestra in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. <mask> later performed with the Black Rock Coalition Orchestra and Banzai Kik at the Stalking

 Heads of ’87, a two-day rock festival held at the CBGB music club.In 1987, <mask> signed a two-year management agreement with Bad Brains manager Anthony Countey and production company Shake the Earth. In 1987, producer Jack Douglas offered to record and sign <mask> and Banzai Kik to a new record label called Supertrack in partnership with EMI Records. Douglas, who had previously worked with John Lennon and Aerosmith, was said to have been impressed with <mask>'s songwriting and vocal talent. Banzai Kik played a preliminary session at Chung-King House of Metal and was set to continue recording at other notable New York studios. Banzai Kik recorded the first six songs of the deal at the Record Plant, the same studio where Jimi Hendrix recorded Electric Ladyland. <mask> temporarily left New York after his father died from gun violence. When he returned, he learned that there was a protracted legal dispute between his management and Douglas’ production company.The deal eventually collapsed. <mask> continued to perform for many years after the Douglas deal. He left New York for Los Angeles before returning to Austin and forming the Chill Factor with guitarist Denny Freeman in 1988. <mask> continued to perform with various other bands until 2010. Cultural impact and later career

Impact and style
<mask> is considered by many as an often overlooked pioneer of Black rock music. He has been regarded as both "the Black Rock Maverick of Texas" and a "champion of alternative Black culture." As a performer, <mask> was known for his androgynous and theatrical style.He took major inspiration from performers such as Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Sly Stone, and the New York Dolls. Music critic Tim Stegall writes that <mask> would reportedly carry nunchuks while touring as a means of self-defense against those who took issue with his flamboyant manner of dress. With the Bats, <mask>'s performances have been noted for their commentary on racial anxieties and sexual ambiguities in

<mask> (born March 29, 1982) is an American former professional boxer. He challenged once for the unified world heavyweight title in 2010. He was ranked as the fourth best heavyweight in the world by The Ring at the conclusion of 2009. A defensively-oriented fighter, <mask> has been widely credited for his counterpunching skills and particularly praised for his hand speed and footwork. He has also been one of the first heavyweights with ability to switch between fighting orthodox and southpaw. Amateur career
As an amateur, <mask> won over 80 bouts, winning the Pennsylvania state heavyweight title. Professional career
<mask> made his professional boxing debut in 2000 at the age of 18, defeating Tyrone Austin by second-round TKO.In the span of five years, <mask> won 22 fights in a row before facing his first notable opponent, Ross Puritty, who had faced another prospect Alexander Dimitrenko six months prior in a losing effort. <mask> won the fight by unanimous decision (UD), with scores 99–91, 98–92 and 99–91. He then defeated local rival Robert Hawkins, winning the Pennsylvania heavyweight title. In 2006, <mask> faced another notable fighter, former WBO world heavyweight title challenger Ed Mahone. Coming into the fight, Mahone had 23–6–2 record, with all of his wins coming inside the distance. <mask> won the fight by fourth-round TKO. With a perfect 27–0 record, <mask> faced another undefeated fighter, 15–0 Derric Rossy, for the USBA heavyweight title.<mask> dominated Rossy throughout the fight, ultimately giving him his first career loss after the referee stopped the fight in round 7, preventing battered and bruised Rossy from continuing absorbing punishment. Rossy eventually suffered his second loss at the hands of Alexander Dimitrenko by fifth-round TKO. Meahwhile, <mask> faced his toughest challenge to date in Dominick Guinn just three months later. Guinn, once described as "hot prospect" and viewed as one of the

Guinn was also known for his durability, having never been stopped in his entire career. <mask> defeated Guinn by a lopsided unanimous decision. The win over Dominick Guinn earned <mask> a spot in the 4-man elimination tournament to face Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF world heavyweight championship.In semifinals, <mask> faced Calvin Brock, who had challenged Klitschko for the IBF title a year prior. Brock, who had beaten a handful of heavyweight contenders and prospects throughout his career, such as Jameel McCline, Timur Ibragimov and Clifford Etienne, claimed to be in the best shape of his career. Brock weighed in at 241 lbs, the heaviest in his entire career and almost 17 lbs heavier than in his bout against Klitschko. The additional weight appeared to be muscle. The fight took place at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington and was aired live on Showtime. <mask> appeared to have the upper hand in the fight, effectively using his hand speed and upper-body movement, and was declared the winner by split decision, with two judges scoring the bout 115–113 in favor of <mask>, while the third judge had the same score but in favor of Brock. <mask> damaged Brock's right eye during the bout, which, after subsequent botched surgery, prompted Brock to retire from the sport.In the final, which took place less than three months later, <mask> faced undefeated Alexander Povetkin, who had beaten former IBF world champion Chris Byrd in semifinals by eleventh-round TKO. The bout took place in Berlin, Germany. <mask> was doing the better work in early rounds, landing cleaner, harder shots, but was eventually overwhelmed by Povetkin's relentless pressure. Ultimately the bout went the distance, with Povetkin being

After his fight with Povetkin he won three more bouts, including one against Raphael Butler, before facing Samuel Peter on March 27, 2009. Peter, ranked No.6 heavyweight in the world by The Ring, was 5-1 in the last six bouts, having had scored wins over James Toney (twice) and former heavyweight contender Jameel McCline before beating Oleg Maskaev by sixth-round TKO to become WBC world heavyweight champion.Prior to facing <mask>, however, Peter had lost the world championship to Vitali Klitschko, and was looking to bounce back to the heavyweight title picture. The fight took place at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, and was aired on ESPN2. <mask> injured his right thumb early in the third round, but was able to outbox Peter for the majority of the fight, frustrating his opponent with speed and quickness and blocking most of Peter's shots using his gloves and arms. As a result, <mask> was declared the winner by majority decision, with judges scoring the bout 99–91, 96–94 and 95–95. Some observers criticized the 95–95 score, believing Peter had not done enough to win more than three rounds. A win over Peter lined <mask> up to fight 6 ft 7in tall, undefeated Alexander Dimitrenko on July 4, 2009 in a WBO world heavyweight title eliminator. Coming into the bout, Dimitrenko had scored five stoppages in a row, with his most recent win against popular German boxer Luan Krasniqi.At the time of the fight, <mask> was ranked No.6 heavyweight contender by The Ring, while Dimitrenko was ranked No.8 by the same publication. Dimitrenko was also ranked within top 5 by all major sanctioning bodies. <mask> weighed in at 208 1/4 lbs, the lightest since 2003. <mask> was outweighed by Dimitrenko by 45 1/2 lbs. The fight took place at Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. It was <mask>' second fight in Germany. The event was televised by ZDF.Unlike his previous

 fights, <mask> was the aggressor, taking the centre of the ring and constantly pressing Dimitrenko against the ropes. After putting pressure and slowing down Dimitrenko's left arm in the early rounds, <mask> established his rhythm by the fifth, successfully finding his way inside Dimitrenko's jab. Dimitrenko received a standing count in the seventh round after a left hook to the body, and was knocked down in the tenth after another left hook, this time to the chin. <mask> won the fight by majority decision. The judges scored the bout 117–109, 116–111 and 113–113, with some experts criticizing the 113–113 score. <mask> vs. Klitschko
The win made <mask> the mandatory challenger for the WBO world heavyweight title held by Wladimir Klitschko. In the build-up to the fight, Klitschko described <mask> as "the best American heavyweight right now".Coming into the bout, <mask> was ranked No.2 heavyweight contender by The Ring, whereas Wladimir was the magazine's champion. In the pre-fight comparison of the fighters, The Ring gave <mask> the upper hand in speed and athletic ability, as well as defense, while crediting Klitschko as more powerful and experienced. The fight generated little interest in the United States, where it was not televised by any TV station but was aired on the Klitschko's official website instead. The official venue was the multi-functional football stadium ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany. The bout turned-out to be one-sided, with the champion winning rounds keeping <mask> at the end of his jab and occasionally throwing straight right hands. In the opening rounds, <mask> lifted Klitschko and took him down several times but was not deducted a point nor warned. In between the championship rounds, Klitschko was criticized by his trainer Emmanuel Steward for not fighting aggressively, despite comfortably winning on the scorecards.Klitschko picked up his pace during the final round and, with few seconds left,

<mask> returned to the ring almost eleven months later, defeating Derric Rossy again, this time by unanimous decision, in an IBF title eliminator. He was scheduled to face Tony Thompson on 28 October 2011 in a bout televised by Showtime, but had to pull out due to spinal injury. <mask> claimed to have problems with his back for an extended period of time, and that it finally caught up to him during preparation for the Thompson fight. He was then due to face former WBO world heavyweight champion Siarhei Liakhovich on 21 January 2012 at Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, in the inaugural main event of the Fight Night card televised by NBC Sports, but was forced to withdraw after fracturing his ribs during training camp. <mask> returned to the ring sixteen months later, against former WBC light-heavyweight and IBF and The Ring cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek for the vacant IBF North American heavyweight title.Both Adamek and <mask> were praised for taking the fight with no world title nor mandatory position on the line, with Adamek trying to re-establish himself after the tenth-round TKO loss to Vitali Klitschko. Coming into the fight, Adamek was ranked No.3 heavyweight contender by The Ring, while <mask>, who had had only one fight in the last two years and three months, was unranked by the publication. The fight was the main event of the Fight Night card on NBC Sports. In the opening rounds, both fighters were trading shots, with <mask> landing the most meaningful punches. During the first round, <mask> torn his bicep in the left arm, and often switched between orthodox and southpaw stances throughout the rest of the fight, throwing shots almost exclusively with the right hand, mostly connecting with overhand punches. Adamek was more

The bout lasted full twelve rounds, with Adamek being declared the winner by unanimous decision with scores 116–112 (twice) and 119–109.Most observers thought that the bout was close, with many of them criticizing the 119–109 score. According to CompuBox, 1,381 punches were thrown, with <mask> landing 152 punches out of 462 thrown (32.9% accuracy), while Adamek landed 134 punches out of 919 (14.6%). <mask> outlanded Adamek in rounds 1–5, 7, 8, 10 and 11. He also landed more power shots in nine of the twelve rounds. <mask> made his return to the ring fourteen months later, moving down to cruiserweight to fight South African contender Thabiso Mchunu. Having had fought only twice in three and a half years prior to the bout, <mask> gave a relatively poor showing and lost the fight by unanimous decision. From 2013 to 2015, <mask> was based in the United Kingdom.He was trained by Peter Fury, who was then-trainer of unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and heavyweight contender Hughie Fury. <mask> then signed with manager Al Haymon and made his U.S. return in late 2015, defeating journeyman Galen Brown by third-round TKO. He then faced Gerald Washington on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox, losing the bout by a lopsided unanimous decision. Following the loss, <mask> subsequently retired from the sport. Other media
<mask> appeared in the 2006 video game Fight Night Round 4, as well as Fight Night Champion.

The show premiered on October 18, 1988, and was watched by 21.4 million households, making it the highest-rated debut of that season.<mask> became outraged when she watched the first episode of Roseanne and noticed that in the credits, Williams was listed as creator. She told Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly, "We built the show around my actual life and my kids. The 'domestic goddess', the whole thing." In the same interview, Werner said, "I don't think <mask>, to this day, understands that this is something legislated by the Writers Guild, and it's part of what every show has to deal with. They're the final arbiters."

Barbara Ehrenreich called <mask> a working-class spokesperson representing "the hopeless underclass of the female sex: polyester-clad, overweight occupants of the slow track; fast-food waitresses, factory workers, housewives, members of the invisible pink-collar army; the despised, the jilted, the underpaid," but a master of "the kind of class-militant populism that the Democrats, most of them anyway, never seem to get right."<mask> refuses to use the term "blue collar" because it masks the issue of class. During Roseannes final season, <mask> was in negotiations between Carsey-Werner Productions and ABC executives to continue playing <mask> Conner in a spin-off. After failed discussions with ABC as well as CBS and Fox, Carsey-Werner and <mask> agreed not to continue the negotiations. She released her autobiography in 1989, titled Roseanne—My Life As a Woman. That same year, she made her film debut in She-Devil, playing a scorned housewife, Ruth. Film critic Roger Ebert gave her a positive review saying, "<mask> could have made an easy, predictable and dumb comedy at any point in the last couple of years. Instead, she took her chances with an ambitious project—a real movie.It pays off, in that <mask> demonstrates that there is a core of reality inside her TV persona, a core of identifiable human feelings like jealousy and pride, and they provide a sound foundation for her comic acting." In 1991, she voiced the baby Julie in Look Who's Talking Too. She was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress. She appeared three times on Saturday Night Live from 1991 to 1994, co-hosting with then-husband Tom Arnold

<mask> (; 26 January 1943 – 3 October 2021) was a French businessman, politician and occasional actor, singer, and TV host. He was Minister of City Affairs in the government of Pierre Bérégovoy. Life and career

<mask> was born in Paris. He was a businessman who specialized in recovering bankrupt companies, among which Adidas is the most famous (he owned Adidas from 1990 to 1993); and owner of sports teams: his cycling team La Vie Claire won the Tour de France twice – in 1985 and 1986 – and his football club Olympique de Marseille won the French championship four times in a row, and the Champions League in 1993. La Vie Claire, one of Tapie's former businesses, is a chain of health product stores. It sponsored one of the strongest cycling teams of all time, La Vie Claire, which was founded after the 1983 European cycling season, when multiple Tour de France winner <mask> had acrimoniously broken away from the Renault-Elf-Gitane team that featured Hinault's much younger and newly crowned French Tour de France winner, Laurent Fignon. La Vie Claire was formed by Hinault after Hinault had experienced a falling-out with his long-time and highly successful team manager from Renault-Elf, Cyrille Guimard, in respect to which of the two French riders (and previously loyal team-mates) would lead the team in 1984 after Fignon's 1983 victory, a race in which Hinault had been unable to participate, due to tendonitis of his knee that had flared up during the 1983 Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain) that had been raced little over a month earlier and which Hinault had won.Following Hinault from the all-powerful Renault-Elf team to the newly formed La Vie Claire squad was Greg LeMond, who would himself end up winning
