 real estate portfolio spanning the Escolta and the ancestral house of the Gorricho-Pardo de Tavera.He was determined to match or even surpass the huge wealth of his Manila relatives, who did not recognize that he, his mother and his aunt existed. Business career
Madrigal established large businesses in coal, oil, sugar, cement, shipping and real estate. In the shipping business, his Madrigal Steamship Company did not begin to return profits until after his mother's death, frustrating his childhood dream of bringing his parents to Spain. He settled for treating his sister Rosario to an extended vacation aboard a Madrigal ship to Barcelona. In the cement business, he acquired his Rizal Cement Corporation after the heirs of the Spanish-Filipino family Ynchausti y Compania lost life and limb while helping fellow Basques in Spain. In the coal business, Madrigal was criticized by contemporaries and modern commentators for having engaged in war profiteering, supplying coal to the Japanese navy during its occupation of the Philippines between 1942 and 1945. It appears that he did so under duress, as he was known to be patriotic and the approximately one million pesos he made in profit was a far smaller amount than he would have made by closing operations during the war.Madrigal attributed this situation to the loss of the good luck that his wife Susana brought to his life, for she died a few months before the war began and left him a widower raising five girls and two boys. Madrigal was a close friend of Manuel Luis Quezon, Commonwealth President of the country and a former classmate. He used this connection to acquire certificates to refineries from bankrupt Spanish-Filipino families, whose business had been devastated by the transfer of the Philippines from Spanish to American control. This allowed Madrigal to expand into the commodities market, selling sugar and palm oil, as well as claiming real

 estate, which he primarily disposed of to increase his shares in growing companies. The remainder he gave to his wife, who managed the properties successfully. Marriage and family
He married Susana Paterno y Ramos, who grew up in Pangil, Laguna and was a poor relation to her own Manila relatives, the Paternos of Quiapo and Santa Cruz, Manila. She was a dressmaker to the prominent Cuyugan and Catigbac families, established a jewelry shop with the Salgado family of Pampanga, and dabbled in real estate.Before the war she acquired a  hacienda in Canlubang, Laguna. She was responsible for the purchase of the Madrigal property where the old Jai Alai fronton used to stand, as well as buildings near her aunts' mansions on Calle Hidalgo, Quiapo, Manila and its adjacent streets. She urged her husband to invest in Hacienda de Mandaluyong even when her husband did not agree to be a major investor without control of the partnership built by Francisco Ortigas Jr. Susana foresaw that upon her husband's eventual divestment, the Ortigas clan would have to surrender large chunks of their property in payment. That property became what is now known as Corinthian Gardens and Arcadia Village in Pasig where even a small lot commands millions today. She obtained lots in Wack-Wack Golf Club which eventually devolved to her daughter Josefina. Further, she recognized the possibilities of Alabang. Today, Ayala Alabang's mango trees are her visible legacies in the mini-city, which features schools, Madrigal Business Park, and even a Polo field named after the family.Her descendants receive rents from the centrally located commercial real estate properties she acquired. In contrast, <mask> preferred non-real estate investments.

 unscrupulous encargados. Upon the deaths of her Paterno aunts she and her brothers Simon and Jose inherited the old, beautiful Paterno mansions. Their children were Macaria (de Leon), Paz (Warns, later Gonzalez) who served as senator from 1955 until 1961, Josefina (Bayot), Antonio and Jose married to sisters Amanda Abad Santos and Victoria Abad Santos respectively, Consuelo Alejandra (Vazquez later Collantes) and Maria Luisa (Vazquez, his brother's marriage to Consuelo Alejandra having been annulled). Madrigal's wealth was equally divided among his seven offspring. He is the grandfather of former Senator Jamby <mask>.Illegitimacy scandal
As Madrigal rose in wealth, the opposite happened to the Pardo de Tavera family. After the flamboyant Crystal Arcade venture of Andres Luna de San Pedro (son of Juan Luna and Paz Pardo de Tavera), one of the heirs and grandnephews of his grandfather Joaquin, the Pardo de Tavera holding firm could no longer service its mounting debts. In a desperate move, Madrigal was named as respondent by Pardo de Tavera, seeking to nullify the Motion to Foreclose by its creditor El Hogar Filipino, on the basis that he signed some of the papers involved in the loan. Madrigal did not know that money he loaned to El Hogar Filipino was used by the firm to facilitate a loan to the Pardo de Tavera family, and neither did El Hogar Filipino know that Madrigal and the Pardo de Taveras were related by blood illegitimately. This caused a scandal among business circles at that time, although, in deference to other involved families including the Legarda and Roces clans, no specific accounts were published in the leading newspapers. This is also the reason why afterwards Madrigal distanced himself from El Hogar Filipino. When its headquarters in Escolta was set up for sale at a heavy discount, he refused to buy the property.Political career

 of Nacionalista Party of Incumbent President Manuel L. Quezon. His wife had died a few months before his victory, in 1941. He forbade his daughters from returning to Manila, fearing the Japanese. They remained in Washington, DC and New York, continuing their studies or furthering their careers in Diplomatic Service. The Philippine Congress opened its session on June 9, 1945 but Madrigal was not able to serve due to charges of Collaboration. He had been part of the Japanese-sponsored government of Jose P. Laurel together with senators Claro M. Recto, Eulogio Rodriguez, Emiliano Tria Tirona, Quintin Paredes, Prospero Sebastian, Antonio de las Alas and Jose Yulo who was appointed Chief Justice during the war. When Manuel Roxas was elected president on 1946, Madrigal, together with other collaborators, was pardoned.He was re-elected in 1947 under the banner of Liberal Party. He ran again in 1953 but was unsuccessful. He later sponsored his second oldest daughter Pacita <mask>, who won handily during Ramon Magsaysay's presidency. Legacy
In 1992, a public school in Binangonan, Rizal was built and was named after him, the <mask> Municipal High School. Binangonan was once a stop-over point for Susana, who lived on the other side of the Laguna de Bay in Pangil prior to marrying Madrigal. See also

<mask>, 1st Baron Congleton PC (3 July 1776 – 8 June 1842), known as <mask>, Bt, from 1812 to 1841, was an Irish writer and Whig politician. He was a member of the Whig administrations headed by Lord Grey and Lord Melbourne of the 1830s and also published works on financial and penal questions as well as on civil engineering. He was the great-uncle of Irish nationalist leader Charles Stewart Parnell. Background and education
Parnell was the second son of Sir John Parnell, 2nd Baronet, Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer, and Laetitia Charlotte, daughter of Sir Arthur Brooke, 1st Baronet. His younger brother William Parnell-Hayes was the grandfather of Charles Stewart Parnell. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1801 he inherited the family estates in Queen's County on the death of his father, bypassing his disabled elder brother according to a special Act of Parliament passed in 1789.In 1812 he succeeded as fourth Baronet, of Rathleague, on the death of his brother. Political career
Parnell represented Maryborough in the Irish House of Commons from 1798 until the Act of Union in 1801. In April the following year he was elected to Parliament of the United Kingdom for Queen's County, but relinquished this seat already in July of the same year, when he was returned for Portarlington. However, he resigned the seat already in December 1802. In 1806 he was once again elected for Queen's County, and represented the constituency until 1832. In 1828 he was chairman of the Select Committee on the State of Public Income and Expenditure which successfully recommended abolition of the 280-year old Navy Board and the merging of its functions into the Board of Admiralty. It was by Parnell's motion on the civil list that the Duke of Wellington's administration was defeated in 1830.The Whigs came to power under Lord Grey and in 1831 Parnell was admitted to the Privy

 Council and appointed Secretary at War, a post he held until February 1833. He resigned his seat in Parliament the same year but returned in 1833 as the representative for Dundee. When the Whigs again came to power in April 1835 under Lord Melbourne, Parnell was made Paymaster of the Forces and Treasurer of the Ordnance and Navy. These offices were consolidated into that of Paymaster-General in 1836, and Parnell retained this post until the government fell in 1841. The latter year he was raised to the peerage as Baron Congleton, of Congleton in the County Palatine of Chester. Works

Parnell was the author of books and pamphlets on matters connected with financial questions, the major important work being On Financial Reform, published in 1830. Parnell was  opposed to the prevailing protectionist system and advocated retrenchment of public expenditure, especially for the armed services.On Financial Reform proposed the repeal of taxes on raw materials and home manufactures, along with the reduction of import duties on foreign manufactures. He also favoured the reduction of taxes on "luxuries", such as tea, sugar, tobacco, wine and spirits. To pay for these reforms, Parnell proposed the reintroduction of the income tax. According to Sidney Buxton, On Financial Reform exercised a considerable influence on public opinion and "laid before the country the financial and fiscal policy that Peel and Gladstone afterwards carried through". One of the main representatives of the so-called "British free banking school," Parnell argued that the best way to achieve monetary stability was to revoke the Bank of England's monopoly on the issue of banknotes. These ideas were defended by Parnell and others in opposition to those of the  British Currency School who advocated legal restrictions on the amount of notes that could be issued, with respect to their deposits in specie, and the British Banking School, which advocated discretionary policy by the banks in monetary matters. Support for free banking declined

Parnell married Lady Caroline Elizabeth, daughter of John Dawson, 1st Earl of Portarlington, in 1801. In 1842, having suffered for some time from ill-health and melancholy, he committed suicide by hanging, aged 65. He was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son John Vesey Parnell. Lady Congleton died in February 1861. The couple had three sons and three daughters who reached adulthood.A daughter, Frances Louisa, died when she was five years old, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Early work
<mask> was inspired to learn guitar by Twisted Sister and AC/DC, noting the first songs he wanted to learn could have been "I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It", or any song by AC/DC. He did not take guitar lessons, and instead taught himself the instrument. <mask> formed a band named Sonic Tapestry with high school friends, and played around Brisbane's "biker-fest circuit".

 Wednesday's "Heavy Metal Night", however the band, unaware of the genre, played "80s glam metal stuff". Powderfinger (1989–2010)

<mask> first encountered Powderfinger when it consisted of Bernard Fanning, Ian Haug, John Collins, and Jon Coghill. At the time, <mask> had been playing with Sonic Tapestry, and another band named Pirate.After seeing his band perform, Powderfinger invited <mask> to join them, and he accepted. <mask> described Powderfinger's early days as highly influenced by other popular heavy metal bands at the time, especially Pantera. Despite the band's members all having come from casual projects, the band's meetings were highly serious, according to <mask>, although he admitted they were "confused" in exactly what they wanted to do. Powderfinger generally performed covers of The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Steppenwolf, as well as Neil Young in their early days, in similar clubs to those in which <mask> had first played. Powderfinger released two early EPs and a debut album, without success, and considered separating, with <mask> contemplating a return to University. However, after Fanning wrote "Pick You Up", the band's mainstream breakthrough, they decided to stick together. From this point on, the band considered themselves to be making "real money".In 2001, on a tour in the United States, Powderfinger played with Coldplay, in what <mask> described as a highlight. The band also played on the Late Show with David Letterman to promote Odyssey Number Five. After Coldplay cut short the tour, Powderfinger ended up playing numerous US shows

While touring with Powderfinger, <mask> also wrote his own works, occasionally fine tuning them in hotels where the band was staying. These would go on to be the songs he sang for Drag.<mask> formed Drag with drummer and Powderfinger engineer Mark McElligott, Brisbane bass guitarist Sean Hartman, and long-time friend Matt Murphy. Drag released an EP, Gas Food Lodging, on 26 October 2003 through Dew Process. The band followed this up with several gigs in Brisbane; a tour down the East Coast of Australia was canceled when <mask> caught the flu. After completing work on Gas Food Lodging, Powderfinger reunited and went on to record Vulture Street. Drag reunited in 2005 to produce their debut studio album, The Way Out, which was released on 10 July 2005. In recording the album, Drag spent three weeks at Byron Bay in March 2005, collaborating with each other and producer David Nicholas. The album earned Drag some positive reception; Rave magazine wrote that "<mask>'s creative genius absolutely beguiled me with some extremely mature compositions", and David Nicholas won an ARIA Award for his role as producer.The album was also nominated for "Engineer of the Year". Following The Way Out, Drag toured around Australia, playing with UK band Athlete. This culminated with the bands playing at Splendour in the Grass, where it was noted

After Powderfinger called it quits in 2010, <mask> started working on his first solo LP, "Translations". The album was released in November 2013, featuring many guests such as Nic Cester (Jet), Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger), Pete Murray, Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate), Clare Bowditch and Amy Findlay (Stonefield). 2016 sees <mask> return to touring, as he embarks on a four show of Western Australia (three shows) and Victoria (one show) in August and November.This tour is for his newest solo project 'Splinters'. Musical style and influences

<mask> rarely takes a singer or songwriter's role for Powderfinger, generally delegating those tasks to Bernard Fanning. However, the song "Over My Head" from Internationalist had <mask> performing vocals. This came about when <mask> did a recording of himself singing the song before Fanning had the chance to do so. Previously, <mask> had written the lyrics to "JC", which was sung by Fanning. However, <mask> sung JC several times throughout the 2007 Upstairs at the Downstairs tour. Despite <mask>'s minimal songwriting, he has been praised for it by his bandmates; Jon Coghill told a 1999 interview that "<mask> (Middleton) and Bernie (Fanning) are extremely good at writing songs."<mask> agrees with this analysis; telling Undercover'''s Paul Cashmere in 2003 that "We are about writing good music." He commented that the band used their position at the top of

 the Australian industry to comment and give people ideas to think about, rather than "trying to say people should take it as gospel". <mask> has criticised the "boy band" phenomena, pointing out that "A lot of them can sing well, but they have people writing all their lyrics for them." <mask> has cited numerous Australian bands, including AC/DC, Crowded House, and Midnight Oil, as ongoing influences in his music, as well as international artists including Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, and Ben Harper. "I went through a bad eighties stage. Bad glam bands. Twisted Sister.Some really bad punk", <mask> comments on the time in which he learned the guitar. <mask> has used a Les Paul guitar, and was praised by Alphonse Leong of Drop-D, described as playing it "as well as any of the seminal axe-noodlers of the hippie era".

He is the current Associate Dean (Research) and Li Ka Shing Professor of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), as well as the Head of the Department of Chemical Pathology of CUHK and the Director of the Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences. His research focuses on the detection of cell-free fetal DNA in blood plasma. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Hong Kong in 1963. His mother taught music and his father, Wai-hoi <mask>, who immigrated from Chaozhou to Hong Kong in 1946, was a psychiatrist and the former head of Castle Peak Hospital. He also has a younger brother. <mask> attended St Joseph's College for primary and secondary schools.After secondary school, he was accepted by Stanford University for electrical engineering and by the University of Hong Kong and University of Cambridge for medicine. He selected medicine and decided to study abroad. In 1983, at the age of 20, <mask> arrived at Cambridge, where he spent 2 years to complete preclinical medical training and a BA degree, and studied genetic cloning in his third. In 1986, he moved to the University of Oxford for his clinical training, in part, he claimed, thanks to Christopher Wren's architectural works at Oxford. <mask> was at Christ Church College during this period. He first completed his BM BCh in 1989, and then a DPhil (during which he was at Hertford College) in 1994 and DM in 2001, all at Oxford. He was also a Junior Research Fellow in Natural Sciences at Hertford College between 1990 and 1993, and the Wellcome Career Development Fellow in Clinical Medicine from 1993 to 1994.Career
<mask> began his research career studying polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a molecular biological technique for rapidly generating

texts: millions of copies of a desired DNA sequence. He first heard about the technique at a lecture by John Bell, now Regius Professor of Medicine, at Oxford, and asked to learn the technique from Bell. Working with Kenneth Anthony Fleming, his future PhD advisor, <mask> found the relatively new technique generated a lot of false positives due to contamination. He then wondered if foetal DNA was detectable in mother's blood. Using PCR, he detected the Y chromosome in a mother bearing a baby boy. During his PhD, <mask> wanted to develop his research into prenatal diagnostic test, using foetal DNA from foetal cells in the mother's blood. This, however, was stymied by a number of factors, including low concentration of foetal cells, high false positive rate and the persistence of foetal cells after giving birth.After obtaining his PhD, <mask> became a University Lecturer in Clinical Biochemistry and Fellow at Green College, Oxford (now part of Green Templeton College). He was also an Honorary Consultant Chemical Pathologist at John Radcliffe Hospital, the major teaching hospital for Oxford. In 1997, again using the Y chromosome as a marker in mothers bearing baby boys, <mask> reported the presence of cell-fee foetal DNA in most of the test subjects. This was after he read that circulating tumor DNA were detectable in cancer patients' blood plasma and switched strategy to search for cell-fee foetal DNA in mother's blood. <mask>, who by the time was married, returned to Hong Kong the same year with his wife, as the city was preparing its handing back to China. He became a senior lecturer in the Department of Chemical Pathology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in January 1997. In an interview years later, he called this discovery was like "finding your car's engine somewhere other than under the bonnet."One of the first disorders for which <mask> developed

texts: non-invasive prenatal testing using cell-fee foetal DNA was Rh disease, a type of anaemia that occurs when the foetus is Rh-positive but the mother is Rh-negative. Separately, <mask> also detected foetal RNA in mother's blood, which indicated what genes were expressed. He then sought novel methods to isolate foetal DNA from mother's blood, which in 2002 came in the form of difference in DNA methylation between the mother and foetus. <mask>'s research into non-invasive prenatal testing was interrupted in 2003 by the SARS outbreak. An infected patient was treated at the Prince of Wales Hospital, the teaching hospital for CUHK Faculty of Medicine, turning the hospital into one of the epicenters in Hong Kong. His group was one of the first to sequence the SARS virus and to discover the existence of multiple viral strains. <mask> returned to studying detection of cell-free foetal DNA after the SARS outbreak.In 2008, he reported the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS), which has a much higher throughput than traditional PCR and was a relatively new technology at the time. When used to detect Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra chromosome 21, this method was later shown to have a 100% sensitivity and a nearly 98% specificity, prompting its introduction into clinics in 2011. The next year, while watching a Harry Potter movie in 3D, the flying "H" reminded him of 2 homologous chromosomes and gave him an idea on how to sequence the foetal genome: to separately sequence the 2 halves of DNA that the foetus inherited from the father and the mother. For the father's half, they searched for DNA sequences present only in the father but not the mother; for the mother's half, they counted the DNA sequences from the mother to deduce the sequences inherited by the foetus, which would be found in excess in the mother's blood plasma. This discovery created a non-invasive

 method to detect foetal mutations. In 2013, his group showed that the foetal epigenome could also be determined from mother's blood plasma. Apart from non-invasive prenatal testing, <mask> started investigating cancer diagnosis, profiling and prognosis from circulating tumor DNA using NGS in 2012, when he reported the genetic profiling of cancer in patients' blood plasma.As of October 2021, <mask> is an associate editor of Clinical Chemistry. <mask> is the co-founder of 2 biotechnology companies, both established in 2014. Using funding from the venture capital firm Decheng Capital, he co-founded Cirina with his longtime CUHK collaborators Rossa Chiu and Allen Chan. The company focuses on cancer detection with circulating tumor DNA. The company was acquired by GRAIL in 2017, which, in turn, was acquired by Illumina in 2021. The 3 of them also co-founded Xcelom, which commercialised their research in non-invasive prenatal testing. In the 2021 Hong Kong legislative election, <mask> was a registered elector in the functional constituency of Technology and Innovation and the geographical constituency of Kowloon West.The State Key Laboratory of Translational Oncology at CUHK, with which he is affiliated, is also a corporate elector (an elector that is a legal entity, as opposed to a natural person) at the same functional constituency. As <mask> is also a member of the Election Committee of Hong Kong, making him eligible to vote in the Election Committee constituency, he was one of the 41 voters who held 4 votes and whose voting power would be approximately 7,215 times of an ordinary citizen.

Silva appeared to be losing his grip on the submission as <mask> continued to work free. However, the referee stepped in and touched the fighters as if to motion that he was standing them up. In reality, he was stopping the fight due to submission despite the fact that <mask> never tapped and was in no significant danger of being choked out from the hold. Despite the loss, UFC awarded <mask> his win money with president Dana White stating that he would have liked to see the result overturned and the match declared a no contest. The fight was later overturned to a "No Contest" by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) after the referee Eduardo Herdy admitted his mistake.<mask> then faced Efrain Escudero at UFC 188 on June 13, 2015.

<mask> (October 8, 1909 – January 14, 1947) was an American professional football player who was a defensive end and end in the National Football League (NFL). He played five seasons for the Chicago Bears (1932–1936), three for the Philadelphia Eagles (1937–1939), and one for the Phil-Pitt Steagles (1943). He is remembered for his refusal to wear a helmet as one of the last NFL players not to wear one. <mask> played college football for the Michigan Wolverines, where he was named team's most valuable player and first-team All-Big Ten his senior season. In nine NFL seasons, he was named an All-Pro six times, won two NFL championships, and in 1934 led the league in touchdown receptions. His jersey number 56 is retired by the Bears and he is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame. <mask> was posthumously inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971.Early life and college
<mask> was born in Bay City, Michigan and attended Bay City Central High School. He attended the University of Michigan, where he lettered for three seasons for the Michigan Wolverines football team. He started in two games each in 1929 and 1930, and in 1931 was a first-team All-Big Ten selection from the United Press, as well as the Wolverines' team MVP. That season, he started four games at left end and five games at fullback, and had 446 yards rushing on 118 attempts. Against Minnesota, he scored the only touchdown of the game on a 57-yard run to help Michigan secure that year's Little Brown Jug trophy with a 6–0 win. Professional career

 <mask> "absolutely fearless. He was a happy-go-lucky guy—until he stepped onto the field—and then he was a terror on offense or defense.He asked no quarter nor gave any." For most of his career, <mask> refused to wear a helmet during games, reasoning that wearing one inhibited his play. He played without one until 1939, his final season with the Eagles, due to new league rules requiring players to wear a helmet. On defense, <mask> was known for his quick reaction to the snap, which led fans to refer to him as "The Offside Kid." "I just anticipate when the ball is going to be snapped and charge at the same time", explained <mask>. "Anyway, what is the head linesman for? It's up to him to call offside if he thinks I am."Chicago Bears
<mask> played for the Chicago Bears for five seasons, from 1932 to 1936. As a rookie, he played in the 1932 NFL Playoff Game for the Bears against the Portsmouth Spartans, which was held to break a tie that season for the NFL championship. The Bears defeated the Spartans 9–0. The next season the Bears played in the first ever NFL Championship Game, against the New York Giants. <mask> had only one reception for three yards in the game, but was a part of what was described as "the greatest play of the game." In the fourth quarter, with the Bears trailing by five, <mask> received a pass from Bears quarterback Keith Molesworth, before lateraling to end <mask>, who then ran 19 yards for the final touchdown of the game. The Bears won the game 23–21.<mask> led the league in receiving touchdowns in 1934, with five, and was named a first-team

 All-NFL selection for the third time in as many years. In 1935 <mask> caught five passes and was without a touchdown for the first time in his career. He had his most productive season as a pro in both receiving yards and touchdowns in 1936, as he caught 15 passes for 358 yards and six touchdowns. Philadelphia Eagles
After considering retirement, <mask> was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles with $4,000 in cash from the Bears in exchange for the rights to the first overall selection in the 1937 NFL Draft, Sam Francis, on February 15, 1937. <mask>'s game salary increased from $100 per game to $200 per game following the trade. He played for the Eagles for three seasons from 1937 to 1939. He was named to the All-NFL team in 1937, becoming the first player in league history to be named an All-Pro for two different teams.He had his second All-NFL selection as an Eagle in 1938 after catching a career-high 18 passes on the season. In November 1939, Eagles president Bert Bell announced <mask> would be retiring at the end of the season after eight years in the NFL. In his final home game with the Eagles, against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he was the middle man of a 66-yard play as he received a 26-yard pass from Davey O'Brien and lateraled to Jay Arnold, who ran 40 yards for the touchdown. They won 17–14—their first and only win that season. Steagles and retirement
After being out of football for three seasons, <mask> returned in 1943 to play fullback for the Steagles, a temporary merger of the Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers during World War II. He appeared in six games that

During his career he caught 103 passes for 1,638 yards and 23 touchdowns.He also had one rushing touchdown and three passing touchdowns. He was named an All-Pro by at least one major U.S. publication six times in his career. After football
After retiring from professional football in 1943, <mask> worked for Supplee-Wills-Jones, a milk company, until September 1946. He died in a car crash on January 14, 1947 in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. <mask> was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971. With his induction, the Bears became the first NFL team to have a complete one-platoon lineup in the Hall of Fame. In 2008 <mask> was named to the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor.He is a member of the National Football League 1930s All-Decade Team, selected in 1969 by the Hall of Fame. <mask>'s jersey number 56 is retired by the Bears, and he is enshrined in the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame.

He is a talented climber, and has finished in top 10 in prestigious world tour stage races, and has also won a stage at the Tour of the Basque Country. He is regarded as the next Alberto Contador, by the man himself, however Mas stated he would rather be the first <mask>s. Having previously ridden for the Specialized–Fundación Alberto Contador team, Contador knows the strength of <mask>s, believing he has a bright future. Career
Mas was born in Artà, a small town of about 7,500 people, which is the administrative seat of Llevant, on the island of Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands of Spain. In the past twenty years this small town has produced four professional athletes, three footballers and the pro cyclist <mask>s. Quick-Step Floors (2017–2019)

2017
On 19 July 2016, UCI World Tour team  announced the signing of Mas for 2017 season.The 2017 season became the first season for Mas in the World Tour. His best result came at the Vuelta a Burgos, where he finished 2nd on the final stage and therefore finished 2nd overall. He was named in the startlist for the 2017 Vuelta a España. He won the Combativity Award on stages 6 and 20 at the Vuelta a España; on the penultimate stage to Angliru, <mask> was in the breakaway and helped Alberto Contador win the stage. 2018

The 2018 season was <mask> <mask>' 2nd on the World Tour, and his first top 10 result came at the Tour of the Basque Country. He won the final stage to Arrate, which was his first professional victory. He moved up to 6th place in the general classification after the last stage, which meant he got his first ever top 10 world tour stage race finish; he also won the young rider classification.He continued his

 form, 2 months later when he placed 4th overall at the Tour de Suisse, and won the Young rider classification. He also managed to finish 2nd on stage 5 behind Diego Ulissi. At the Vuelta a España, Mas was outside top 10 before the last two stages of the second week. He finished 7th on the Stage to Las Praeres, and moved up to 8th place. On the following Stage to the Lakes of Covadonga, he finished 6th and moved up to 6th place. On the Time trial he once again showed he had great form when he finished 6th. He moved up another place in the general classification.The race visited a new climb Balcón de Bizkaia on Stage 17. Mas was the strongest of the General classification contenders, and moved up to 3rd position overall. However he dropped to 4th place on Stage 19 which visited Naturlandia, Andorra. At the start of Stage 20, the gap between him and the 3rd placed rider Steven Kruijswijk was only 17 seconds. He attacked on the final climb together with Miguel Ángel López and Simon Yates. Mas rode together to the finish line with Lopez and outsprinted him, to take his first stage victory in a Grand Tour. With his performance on stage 20, Mas moved from 4th to 2nd place overall in the Vuelta, finishing on the podium in just his second Grand Tour.2019-2020
Mas earned top 10 places in both the 2019 Volta a Catalunya as well as the 2019 Tour de Suisse. In July 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Tour de France. He finished the race in 22nd place overall. During the 2020 season he earned top 5 finishes in both the Tour and the Vuelta and won his second young rider competition in the latter.

Mas rode in the 2021 Tour de France, which was marred by numerous crashes and foul weather early in the race. He finished in 6th place overall, the highest placed rider on Movistar Team. During the 2021 Vuelta a España Mas proved himself to be in very good form early in the race and the race eventually turned into a battle between Primož Roglič and him. By the end of the first week he was among the handful of riders within +1:00 of Roglič. After stage nine all of the other general classification riders had fallen behind and he was the only rider within a minute of Roglič being about +0:30 behind. Throughout the remainder of the race Mas was able to consistently stay with the Slovenian on most of the climbs. He lost time to Roglič on stage seventeen, which included a summit finish at Lagos de Covadonga, crossing the line with the surviving GC favorites about a minute and a half behind.On stage eighteen his teammate Miguel Ángel López attacked and won the stage. Mas did not join in this attack as he felt that if he also attacked Roglič would have gone with him. Stage twenty saw several highly placed riders lose considerable time when a gap formed between the GC riders. Mas was able to stay in the lead group and went into the final time trial about two and a half minutes behind Roglič. Of all the daily awards and jersey classifications that follow each stage, over a hundred total, Mas was not awarded a single one and did not wear a single jersey for even one stage, despite the fact he dominated the rest of the field finishing in second

<mask> (born 1951) is an Irish republican activist. Born into a Roman Catholic family, he was brought up in the Ardoyne area of north Belfast, Northern Ireland. At 16, he left Belfast to train as a priest in a north Wales seminary. He joined the Provisional IRA in 1969. Early years
<mask> was brought up in a strongly religious Catholic family in the republican Ardoyne area of North Belfast. He served as an altar boy at the local church, and at the age of 17 joined a missionary school in Wales, where he began training to become a priest. <mask> joined the Provisional IRA when he was 18 years old, following the outbreak of The Troubles, after he had witnessed the violent disturbances first-hand in 1969.Bayardo Bar attack

In 1976, <mask> was sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the Bayardo Bar attack on Aberdeen Street in the Protestant Shankill Road district of Belfast, which killed five people (three men and two women) and injured 60 more on 13 August 1975. In a 1995 House of Lords debate, Gerry Fitt, formerly the SDLP MP for West Belfast, alleged that <mask> had machine-gunned three pedestrians who were passing by the Bayardo as it was blown up. The bar was attacked because it was allegedly frequented by member of the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). The IRA initially denied it had carried out the attack. The attack occurred against a background of severe sectarian violence. The IRA killed 88 Protestant civilians in similar attacks in 1974–76, in reprisal for loyalist attacks on Catholics, which killed 250 civilians in the same period. According to journalist Peter Taylor, the attack

 was carried out by the IRA in retaliation for the UVF's ambush of the Dublin-based Miami Showband on 31 July 1975 which had resulted in the shooting deaths of three bandmembers.One of the five people killed in the Bayardo attack was UVF man, Hugh Harris. Maze Prison – hunger strikes and escape
<mask> attempted to escape from the Maze Prison dressed as a priest in 1978. When the bid failed, <mask>'s Special Category Status was withdrawn, and he joined the dirty protest in the H-Blocks. His nickname "Bik" was acquired after the name of a famous Biscuit company MacFarlane Lang, now known as United Biscuits. Fellow prisoner and author of Blanketmen: An Untold Story of the H-Block Hunger Strike, Richard O'Rawe, described <mask> as "six feet tall and full of bonhomie", a "great singer" possessing a "striking character". O'Rawe also said that <mask> was an avid supporter of Gaelic football. He was Provisional IRA Officer Commanding in the Maze during the 1981 Irish hunger strike in which 10 republicans died.He took over from Bobby Sands in March 1981. Asked why, Sands is said to have replied: "Because you will let me die." He later described 1981 as, "probably the worst year of my life. Despite the political gains, the loss of that year is always with me." <mask> went on to lead the Maze Prison escape, the mass break-out of 38 republican prisoners from the Maze in 1983 in which a prison officer died of a heart attack. Fifteen IRA men were caught in the vicinity of the prison, four were captured later that day, 19 got away, with three never being recaptured. Immediately following the escape, <mask> and other

 prisoners commandeered a remote farmhouse near Dromore, County Down, and held the family inside hostage.Although he took a map and compass, and other items from the premises, none of the family members, which included two small children and a baby, were harmed. He and the other former escapees made their way across the Irish border and went on the run. After the break-out, <mask> resumed his IRA activities. In December 1983, he is alleged to have kidnapped supermarket executive Don Tidey in a bid to ransom him to raise money for the IRA. The kidnap was one of spate of kidnappings and robberies ordered by the IRA Army Council in the early 1980s to raise funds. Tidey was taking his 13-year-old daughter to school when he stopped at what he believed to be a Garda Síochána checkpoint. A gun was put to his head and he was bundled into a waiting car.A few days later his photograph was sent to Associated British Foods, and this was followed by a phone call demanding an IR£5 million ransom. The Gardaí eventually tracked Tidey and his kidnappers – four in all – to Derrada Wood in Ballinamore, County Leitrim on 16 December 1983. In the subsequent shoot-out, following which Tidey made his escape, a trainee Garda and an Irish Army soldier (Gary Sheehan and Patrick Kelly) were killed. Tidey's kidnappers escaped. On 16 January 1986, <mask> was recaptured in the Netherlands along with fellow escapee Gerry Kelly, and subsequently extradited to Northern Ireland, and released on parole from the Maze in 1997. By 1993 he had become the longest serving prisoner in the Maze. Kidnapping charges

 in the Republic of Ireland with Tidey's kidnapping, but he challenged this on the basis that Gardaí had lost a number of exhibits containing fingerprints – the central evidence in the case.The Irish Supreme Court ruled in March 2006 that the trial could proceed. The Gardaí based the Tidey charges on items recovered from the kidnap site, including a milk carton and a plastic container, on which fingerprints were discovered. Although the items went missing from Garda headquarters during renovation work, the fingerprints had been photographed and a forensic analysis done. <mask> was due to stand trial on 3 October 2006. However his legal team launched a second judicial review in May 2006, on the grounds that <mask> could not get a fair trial due to "systematic delays in bringing the prosecution". This held up his trial until the Irish High Court ruled on the issue on 8 December 2006. However, <mask>'s representatives appealed this decision in turn.Their appeal was finally dismissed on 6 March 2008, and the trial opened in Dublin on 11 June 2008 only to collapse on 26 June when the Garda evidence was ruled inadmissible. In September 2010, <mask> was awarded compensation following a European Court of Human Rights ruling. The court found the proceedings relating to the kidnapping of supermarket executive Don Tidey had been "unreasonably long". The Irish government was ordered to pay 5,400 euro in damages within three months and 10,000 euro in legal costs. Other activity

He is now a member of Coiste na n-Iarchimí ("the Ex-Prisoners' Committee"), a welfare organisation for republican ex-prisoners.Sinn Féin describes him as a voluntary worker, and he has been a vocal supporter of the party's political stance, appearing beside both Gerry Adams and Gerry Kelly at rallies and reiterating former prisoners' support for the direction the party is taking. <mask> has formed a band, Tuan, which is a regular on the Irish republican entertainment circuit. He also performs quite regularly in the Hatfield House, a popular bar in the Holylands district of Belfast. <mask> has also shown solidarity with the radical Basque nationalist movement and has been interviewed in the Basque and Spanish press on the subject of the Basque peace process and the proposed release of ETA prisoners. He has described the ETA prisoners as having been engaged in a, 'legitimate struggle' similar to that of Irish republicans. Personal life

<mask> (; born 31 January 1984) is an Italian former footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or winger. Club career

Early career
Born in Belvedere Marittimo, <mask> resided until the age of 9 in the nearby town of Bonifati (the town of origin of his maternal family), he starting his career at local Cittadella del Capo football youth team at the age of 5, where he caught the eye of Juventus, Roma and Milan scouts. His father, however, decided to let him join Parma. He was subsequently brought up in the club's youth system. <mask> spent the 2001–02 season playing for the Parma Primavera team. He was promoted to the first team the next season, making his professional debut on 16 February 2003 against Juventus as a substitute for Hidetoshi Nakata. In two and a half years at the club, he made 25 league appearances.<mask> was a member of the B squad in the 2003–04 UEFA Cup. Following a tactical change to the team's formation, <mask> found first-team opportunities hard to come by. In January 2005 he was loaned to Hellas Verona, where he had a hugely successful spell. After the end of the loan he was bought by Torino, then in Serie B.

Torino

<mask> was regarded as a revelation since his arrival at the Turin club. He became the driving force behind Torino's 2005–06 promotion campaign, making 42 appearances, scoring twelve times, as the club clinched a spot in the Italian top flight the following season. In two subsequent Serie A seasons, he dragged the team to survival from relegation, averaging a goal every three games as well as providing several assists. As a result, he earned the captain's armband in January 2008 and became a popular figure amongst Torino fans.He was nicknamed <mask>, a portmanteau of his last name and

 Ronaldo's name, due to his Brazilian-style flair. He stayed loyal to Torino despite awakening the interest of Italian powerhouses, signing a contract extension until 2011 in 2007. The 2008–2009 season was a major setback for Torino, as Rosina was unable to prevent the club from suffering relegation. Zenit

On 31 July 2009, <mask> was sold to Russian Premier League club Zenit St. Petersburg for a fee in the region of €7 million, signing a 4-year contract with Sine-Belo-Golubyye. Dick Advocaat, then-manager of Zenit who planned to quit the club at the end of the year to become Belgium coach, declared himself unhappy with the acquisition of Rosina and Sergei Kornilenko, labelling them newly appointed sporting director Igor Korneev's creatures, as the Dutch gaffer wished to sign two top-class forwards, namely Goran Pandev and Paolo Guerrero, instead. Nevertheless, <mask> made his debut on 5 August 2009 against FC Nizhny Novgorod in Russian Cup, also scoring his first Zenit goal, and played full 90 minutes in subsequent league game against Tom. As Zenit lost to Tom at home, Advocaat was replaced at the helm by former Zenit player Anatoli Davydov, who soon afterwards brought in another offensive midfielder, controversial Vladimir Bystrov.Despite finding little playing time through tough competition, <mask> had impressed on occasions, achieving a total of two goals and two assists in nine RFPL games out of remaining fourteen. 2010 preseason saw another head coach change, as fellow Italian Luciano Spalletti took reign. However, with Danny having recovered from cruciate ligaments injury, <mask> again found himself on the bench at the start of the season. Being used mainly as a substitute, he managed to contribute with a vital assist

 against archrivals Spartak Moscow, finding Nicolas Lombaerts' head with a perfect cross in a game that finished 1–1. As Spalletti settled to a counterattacking 4–3–3 or 4–2–3–1 formation with two wingers, and established internationals Danny, Konstantin Zyryanov and Danko Lazović all being options on the left, left-footed <mask> was mainly used in the rotation on the right as a backup for Bystrov. He scored after coming on as a substitute in 6–1 trashing of Saturn in September, rounding the keeper and scoring in the empty net. On 29 January 2011, before the start of Russian Premier League 2011–12 season, <mask> was loaned to Serie A side Cesena until July 2011.Cesena
Rosina made his debut for Cesena on 2 February 2011 against Catania, coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute for Emanuele Giaccherini. He scored his first goal for Cesena on 20 February 2011 against Parma, firing home the opener in the 31st minute. <mask> struggled with his fitness during his time on loan and amassed only 9 league appearances for Serie A newcomers. Return to Zenit
After his loan deal with Cesena came to an end, <mask> returned to Zenit and was subsequently registered for Russian Premier League football. On 14 August he was included in the starting line-up against Amkar and put off a dynamic performance, but due to below-par passing and general lack of end product he was substituted even before the break. Despite this, Zenit head coach Luciano Spalletti praised <mask> for his footballing attitude and determination to fight for a place in the team, promising him a squad role for the remainder of the season. Rosina had to fight off competition from Lazović, Aleksei Ionov, Szabolcs Huszti as well as recovering Bystrov.In April, he won his

<mask> (born 1 June 1965) is a British actor. Life and career
Havill has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and was in The Woman in Black in London's West End in 1996. In the 2000s, his theatre roles included working with Alan Ayckbourn on his play Virtual Reality; a West End production of Jean Anouilh's Ring Around the Moon; and key roles in director Chris Luscombe's productions of The Comedy of Errors and The Merry Wives of Windsor at Shakespeare's Globe. Of the latter, the Guardian's Lyn Gardner wrote: "Havill's comic timing is a joy" (21 June 2008). <mask> also appeared as Frank Ford in the US tour of the same play in 2010. Ben Brantley commented in The New York Times (31 Oct 2010), "As Ford... the excellent Mr. Havill is exactly as serious as he needs to be, reminding us that one of comedy’s main functions is to defuse bombs that in real life often explode and destroy.". In 2012 and 2013 he was part of the original cast of James Graham's critically acclaimed play This House, at the National Theatre, directed by Jeremy Herrin.Other work has included three roles at Hampstead Theatre in the plays Farewell to the Theatre, Drawing the Line, and Wonderland. Havill's TV credits include Aristocrats, Wives and Daughters and The Impressionists, and docudramas including Elizabeth David, Daphne, The Tudors and Messiah at the Foundling Hospital. He played the Chief Steward in the Christmas Doctor Who episode Voyage of the Damned and was in the BBC drama Spooks Series 8, as well as in Midsomer Murders (The Night of the Stag), Sherlock (A Scandal in Belgravia), Father Brown and The Coroner Series 1, episode 8.

<mask> of Miletus ( ; , Thalēs; ) was a Greek mathematician, astronomer and pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus in Ionia, Asia Minor. He was one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many, most notably Aristotle, regarded him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition, and he is otherwise historically recognized as the first individual known to have entertained and engaged in scientific philosophy. He is often referred to as the Father of Science. <mask> is recognized for breaking from the use of mythology to explain the world and the universe, and instead explaining natural objects and phenomena by naturalistic theories and hypotheses, in a precursor to modern science. Almost all the other pre-Socratic philosophers followed him in explaining nature as deriving from a unity of everything based on the existence of a single ultimate substance, instead of using mythological explanations. Aristotle regarded him as the founder of the Ionian School and reported <mask>' hypothesis that the originating principle of nature and the nature of matter was a single material substance: water.In mathematics, <mask> used geometry to calculate the heights of pyramids and the distance of ships from the shore. He is the first known individual to use deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to <mask>' theorem. He is the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed. Life

The dates of <mask>' life are not exactly known, but are roughly established by a few datable events mentioned in the sources. According to Herodotus, <mask> predicted the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC.

texts: Diogenes Laërtius quotes the chronicle of Apollodorus of Athens as saying that <mask> died at the age of 78 during the 58th Olympiad (548–545 BC) and attributes his death to heat stroke while watching the games. <mask> was probably born in the city of Miletus around the mid-620s BC.The ancient writer Apollodorus of Athens writing during the 2nd century BC, thought <mask> was born about the year 625 BC. Herodotus, writing in the fifth century BC, described <mask> as "a Phoenician by remote descent". However, the probability is that he was as Greek as most Milesians since his ancestors were Cadmeians from Boeotia and not Semites. Tim Whitmarsh wrote that <mask> regarded water as the primal matter, and because thal is the Phoenician word for moisture, his name may have derived from this circumstance. However, this seems to be a minority view, since most dictionaries assert that his name comes from the Greek word “θᾰ́λλω” (thállō, “to thrive”) + -ης (-ēs), in which case means “one who thrives”. According to the later historian Diogenes Laërtius, in his third century AD Lives of the Philosophers, references Herodotus, Duris, and Democritus, who all agree "that <mask> was the son of Examyas and Cleobulina, and belonged to the Thelidae who are Phoenicians and amongst the noblest descendants of Cadmus and Agenor." Their names are Carian and Greek, respectively.Friedrich Nietzsche stresses the fact that his ancestors were only "Phoenician" in the sense that they could trace back their fictitious origins to the seafaring people of the mythological hero Cadmus. Therefore, his family migrated from Thebes, in central

texts: Greece, to Ionia in Asia Minor. Diogenes then states that "Most writers, however, represent him as a native of Miletus and of a distinguished family." His supposed mother, Cleobulina, has also been described as his companion instead of his mother. Nevertheless, the scholarly consensus is that, even though he is said by some ancient authors to have been of Phoenician extraction, he was most likely a native Milesian of noble birth and that he was certainly a Greek. Diogenes continues, by delivering more conflicting reports: one that <mask> married and either fathered a son (Cybisthus or Cybisthon) or adopted his nephew of the same name; the second that he never married, telling his mother as a young man that it was too early to marry, and as an older man that it was too late. Plutarch had earlier told this version: Solon visited Thales and asked him why he remained single; <mask> answered that he did not like the idea of having to worry about children.Nevertheless, several years later, anxious for family, he adopted his nephew Cybisthus. It is assumed that <mask>, at one point in his life, visited Egypt, where he learned about geometry. It is not impossible that <mask> visited Egypt, since Miletus had a permanent colony there (namely Naucratis), however visits to Egypt were a commonplace attribution to various philosophers by later writers, especially when these writers tried to explain mathematical knowledge. <mask> may have known about Egypt from accounts of others, without actually visiting it. Diogenes Laërtius wrote that <mask> identifies Miletus as Athenian colony. <mask> (who died around 30 years before


texts:
 the time of Pythagoras and 300 years before Euclid, Eudoxus of Cnidus, and Eudemus of Rhodes) is often hailed as "the first Greek mathematician". While some historians, such as Colin R. Fletcher, point out that there could have been a predecessor to <mask> who would have been named in Eudemus' lost book History of Geometry, it is admitted that without the work "the question becomes mere speculation."Fletcher holds that as there is no viable predecessor to the title of first Greek mathematician, the only question is whether <mask> qualifies as a practitioner in that field; he holds that "<mask> had at his command the techniques of observation, experimentation, superposition and deduction...he has proved himself mathematician." Aristotle wrote in Metaphysics, "<mask>, the founder of this school of philosophy, says the permanent entity is water (which is why he also propounded that the earth floats on water). Presumably he derived this assumption from seeing that the nutriment of everything is moist, and that heat itself is generated from moisture and depends upon it for its existence (and that from which a thing is generated is always its first principle). He derived his assumption from this; and also from the fact that the seeds of everything have a moist nature, whereas water is the first principle of the nature of moist things." Activities
<mask> involved himself in many activities, including engineering. Some say that he left no writings. Others say that he wrote On the Solstice and On the Equinox.The Nautical Star-guide has been attributed to him, but this was disputed in ancient times. No writing
