He was sent to the Kennedy School of Harvard University in 1979 for a master's degree in Public Administration (MPA). He graduated at the top of his Edward S. Mason Fellows class with straight A's. He then went for further studies in Columbia University for his Executive Program in Business Administration, finishing in 1983. And while he was in those universities, he took up courses such as Modern Drama, Shakespeare, Comedy and Film Theory. He worked for the Philippine government for more than twenty years. He was the youngest NEDA Director at 23 when he managed the Policy and Coordination Staff of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) from 1971 to 1981.He was likewise the youngest to be appointed as Executive Vice President, Corporate Services at the Philippine National Bank, from 1981 to 1993. There he also served as president of PNB Investments Ltd and a director of PNB Securities Inc. He taught part-time in U.P. Diliman and U.P. Manila, Ateneo, La Salle, Assumption, and U.E. [Ateneo is now considering to also nominate <mask> for the National Artist award.] He also worked for Experimental Cinema of the Philippines and for Tanghalang Pilipino and was co-founder of Dramatis Personae.Some Awards and Citations

In conferring the Tanglaw ng Lahi award to Noriega in 1995, Ateneo De Manila stated that:
“The significance of Noriega’s achievement in Theater and Film will be impoverished unless it is put in place with his career in banking and


texts: government service. Here one does not find the simple case of competition between work and avocation or between two careers or even loves. Noriega was expert in his two occupations – as writer and technocrat and he managed to put them together in his person. “Noriega has put form to the Filipino’s search for a sense of place in these works. His characters often find themselves out of place--literally and in every aspect. In probably his most popular play, Bayan-bayanan, they are Philippine Embassy staff, government employees training abroad, overseas contract workers, and other Filipino travelers exiled in Geneva. “There each of them has to contend with not only the bitter cold but also their individual fates and the usual situation of the exile, and their different responses to this plight are what Noriega is able to masterfully orchestrate.“Poverty makes Ramona Reyes, a household help in the play bearing her name, out of place in Forbes Park where she works. Ironically, going abroad as a domestic helper appears to her as her only escape. The myriad forms of exile are more directly depicted in Takas, a play about friendship between a Vietnamese refugee who comes to shore and the Filipino boy whose family takes in the stranger. In no time, the boy discovers that he too is a stranger in his own country. “Batang Pro, a controversial work about child prostitution, portrays the tragedy of children pushed out of their very childhood by dehumanizing destitution, while the film Soltero shows the anguish of an aging single male in a culture centered on family. “By presenting characters who are out of place and


texts:
 at the same time, refusing an easy way out for their dilemma, <mask> ennobles the plight and struggle of the Filipino. He takes an insider’s point of view to depict outsiders’ lives, and thus is able to confront, even satirize, every facet of Filipino life without despair nor disdain.The Filipino family takes center stage in Ang Mga Propesyonal and Kasalan sa Likod ng Simbahan, romance in Kenkoy Loves Rosing and W.I.S. (Walang Ibig Sabihin) and politics in Bongbong at Kris.”
“ It would be a mistake to think that <mask>'s sole achievement lies in having given voice to what every Filipino feels. His writing broke new artistic ground because the voices of his characters were neither the hysterical sobs of traditional Filipino melodrama nor the rhetorical protest of propaganda pieces. He wrote plays of differing structures and styles. Some are one-acters, others full-length. In a few, the influence of Chekhov appears; in others, that of the expressionists. “The role that music played changed from play to play.This creative freedom, far from simple experimentation, was based on his insight into the dynamics of insider and outsider; it enabled him to use styles and techniques wherever he found them without being afraid of being derivative. He always knew where he was writing from.”
In her book review in 1988, Doreen Fernandez wrote:
“Noriega’s skill is especially evident in the dialogue, which reproduces many different levels of colloquial Filipino (the college girl type, the movie/television gay variants, the almostformal etc. ), the editions of code-switching, and the variations proper to each character. The

 writer’s ear is true and his comic hand sure. “Bongbong at Kris which won a prize in the 1987 Cultural Center of the Philippines Playwriting contest, was one of the first plays written and staged after the end of the Marcos regime. This was a time when the playwrights who had written veiled and direct protest plays in the previous two decades were reassessing the matter for drama after the end of a period of unspoken but real censorship and suppression…
“Sana’y maaliw tayo”, Noriega ends, and indeed the play amuses and entertains. It is welcome comedy, since not too many contemporary playwrights - and indeed comparatively few in the history of Philippine drama - have devoted their talents to the comic genre.And it is welcome laughter, since it comments lightly but pointedly on the world of “pelikula’t politika” – on the mores and manners, on the pulsing and possible lives within Philippine media and politics.”
Jose Dalisay wrote in his article “ A writer's Baul” in Philstar.com, September 9, 2005:
“He was, to my mind, the best playwright we ever produced, bar none. His sense of the dramatic tended toward the deep, regretful sadness of foregone happiness and missed opportunities rather than riotous excess.”
Dean Rogelio Sicat, UP in his book review of Deuterium in 1995 wrote:
“I have observed the Philippine literary scene for over three decades as a practicing writer, a U.P. professor. Literary historian and critic, and as juror in all of the country’s most prestigious literary contests including the Carlos Palanca Awards for Literature (eight times), and the CCP. “Without any reservation, I consider

 <mask> M<mask>, Jr. as the best Filipino playwright today as evidenced by his output, books published, national awards, stagings in prestigious venues (including presentations abroad) and consistent recognition by peers and critics. “In Noriega, Filipino playwriting finally hurdled being tentative to become the fullblown and lively genre that it is now. He broke new ground between stereotyped tradition-bound Tagalog plays.The dominant playwright from the seventies to the present, Noriega who writes in everyday Filipino has a wide-ranging repertoire , from the personal to the social, from the comic to the tragic.”
His award in 1999 for Centennial Honors for the Arts (in Theater) read:

Ang laging nakataya sa kanyang mga dula ay ang isyu ng indibidwal at komunidad bilang analogo ng pambansang identidad….”
“Binigyang giya ni Noriega ang modernong Filipinong dulaan tungo sa natatangi at sensitibong apila sa mga isyu ng personal at pambansang identidad. “Para sa kanyang malawak at patuloy na pagtatangka sa paglalahad ng Filipinong identidad sa kanyang dula, madalas ay Kritikal sa mga institusyunal na kalakaran at nagsusumamo sa humastikong ideal na nagpapakilos tungo sa tinatanaw na egalitaryang kaayusanan, ang Parangal Sentenyal sa Sining at Kultura ay ginagawad ngayong ika-2 ng Pebrero 1999 kay

texts: <mask>  (; 5 July 1820 – 24 December 1872) was a Scottish mechanical engineer who also contributed to civil engineering, physics and mathematics. He was a founding contributor, with Rudolf Clausius and <mask> (Lord Kelvin), to the science of thermodynamics, particularly focusing on the first of the three thermodynamic laws. He developed the Rankine scale, an equivalent to the Kelvin scale of temperature, but in degrees Fahrenheit rather than Celsius. <mask> developed a complete theory of the steam engine and indeed of all heat engines. His manuals of engineering science and practice were used for many decades after their publication in the 1850s and 1860s. He published several hundred papers and notes on science and engineering topics, from 1840 onwards, and his interests were extremely varied, including, in his youth, botany, music theory and number theory, and, in his mature years, most major branches of science, mathematics and engineering. He was an enthusiastic amateur singer, pianist and cellist who composed his own humorous songs.<mask> was born in Edinburgh to Lt David Rankin (sic), a civil engineer from a military background, who later worked on the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway (locally known as the Innocent Railway). His mother was Barbara Grahame, of a prominent legal and banking family. His father moved around Scotland on various projects and the family moved with him. <mask> was initially educated at home but he later attended Ayr Academy (1828–29) and then the High School of Glasgow (1830). Around 1830 the family moved to Edinburgh when the father got a post as Manager of the Edinburgh to Dalkeith Railway. The family then lived at 2 Arniston Place. In 1834 he was sent to the Scottish Naval and Military Academy on Lothian Road in Edinburgh with the

texts: mathematician George Lee.By that year <mask> was already highly proficient in mathematics and received, as a gift from his uncle, Isaac Newton's Principia (1687) in the original Latin. In 1836, <mask> began to study a spectrum of scientific topics at the University of Edinburgh, including natural history under Robert Jameson and natural philosophy under James David Forbes. Under Forbes he was awarded prizes for essays on methods of physical inquiry and on the undulatory (or wave) theory of light. During vacations, he assisted his father who, from 1830, was manager and, later, effective treasurer and engineer of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway which brought coal into the growing city. He left the University of Edinburgh in 1838 without a degree (which was not then unusual) and, perhaps because of straitened family finances, became an apprentice to Sir John Benjamin Macneill, who was at the time surveyor to the Irish Railway Commission. During his pupilage he developed a technique, later known as <mask>'s method, for laying out railway curves, fully exploiting the theodolite and making a substantial improvement in accuracy and productivity over existing methods. In fact, the technique was simultaneously in use by other engineers – and in the 1860s there was a minor dispute about Rankine's priority.The year 1842 also marked <mask>'s first attempt to reduce the phenomena of heat to a mathematical form but he was frustrated by his lack of experimental data. At the time of Queen Victoria's visit to Scotland, later that year, he organised a large bonfire situated on Arthur's Seat, constructed with radiating air passages under the fuel. The bonfire served as a beacon to initiate a chain of other bonfires across Scotland. In 1850 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of

From 1855 he was Professor of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at Glasgow University.He died at 8 Albion Crescent (now called Dowanside Road), Dowanhill, Glasgow at 11:45pm on Christmas Eve, 24 December 1872, aged only 52. He was unmarried and had no children. His death was registered by his uncle, Alex Grahame (his late mother's brother in law). Thermodynamics
Undaunted, <mask> returned to his youthful fascination with the mechanics of the heat engine. Though his theory of circulating streams of elastic vortices whose volumes spontaneously adapted to their environment sounds fanciful to scientists formed on a modern account, by 1849, he had succeeded in finding the relationship between saturated vapour pressure and temperature. The following year, he used his theory to establish relationships between the temperature, pressure and density of gases, and expressions for the latent heat of evaporation of a liquid. He accurately predicted the surprising fact that the apparent specific heat of saturated steam would be negative.Emboldened by his success, in 1851 he set out to calculate the efficiency of heat engines and used his theory as a basis to deduce the principle, that the maximum efficiency possible for any heat engine is a function only of the two temperatures between which it operates. Though a similar result had already been derived by Rudolf Clausius and <mask>, <mask> claimed that his result rested upon his hypothesis of molecular vortices alone, rather than upon Carnot's theory or some other additional assumption. The work marked the first step on <mask>'s journey to develop a more complete

texts: theory of heat. In 1853, he coined the term potential energy. <mask> later recast the results of his molecular theories in terms of a macroscopic account of energy and its transformations. He defined and distinguished between actual energy which was lost in dynamic processes and potential energy by which it was replaced. He assumed the sum of the two energies to be constant, an idea already, although surely not for very long, familiar in the law of conservation of energy.From 1854, he made wide use of his thermodynamic function which he later realised was identical to the entropy of Clausius. By 1855, <mask> had formulated a science of energetics which gave an account of dynamics in terms of energy and its transformations rather than force and motion. The theory was very influential in the 1890s. In 1859 he proposed the Rankine scale of temperature, an absolute or thermodynamic scale whose degree is equal to a Fahrenheit degree. In 1862, <mask> expanded Lord Kelvin’s theory of universal heat death and, along with Kelvin himself, formulated the heat death paradox, which disproves the possibly of an infinitely old universe. Energetics offered <mask> an alternative, and rather more mainstream, approach, to his science and, from the mid-1850s, he made rather less use of his molecular vortices. Yet he still claimed that Maxwell's work on electromagnetics was effectively an extension of his model.And, in 1864, he contended that the microscopic theories of heat proposed by Clausius and James Clerk Maxwell, based on linear atomic motion, were inadequate. It was only in 1869 that <mask> admitted the success of these rival theories. By that time, his own model of the atom had become almost identical with that of Thomson. As was his constant aim, especially as a teacher of

 engineering, he used his own theories to develop a number of practical results and to elucidate their physical principles including:

The Rankine–Hugoniot equation for propagation of shock waves, governs the behaviour of shock waves normal to the oncoming flow. It is named after physicists <mask> and the French engineer Pierre Henri Hugoniot;
The Rankine cycle, an analysis of an ideal heat-engine with a condensor. Like other thermodynamic cycles, the maximum efficiency of the Rankine cycle is given by calculating the maximum efficiency of the Carnot cycle;
Properties of steam, gases and vapours. The history of rotordynamics is replete with the interplay of theory and practice.<mask> first performed an analysis of a spinning shaft in 1869, but his model was not adequate and he predicted that supercritical speeds could not be attained. Fatigue studies

<mask> was one of the first engineers to recognise that fatigue failures of railway axles was caused by the initiation and growth of brittle cracks. In the early 1840s he examined many broken axles, especially after the Versailles train crash of 1842 when a locomotive axle suddenly fractured and led to the death of over 50 passengers. He showed that the axles had failed by progressive growth of a brittle crack from a shoulder or other stress concentration source on the shaft, such as a keyway. He was supported by similar direct analysis of failed axles by Joseph Glynn, where the axles failed by slow growth of a brittle crack in a process now known as metal fatigue. It was likely that the front axle of one of the locomotives involved in the Versailles train crash failed in a similar way. <mask> presented his conclusions in a paper delivered to the Institution of Civil Engineers.His work was ignored however, by many engineers

 who persisted in believing that stress could cause "re-crystallisation" of the metal, a myth which has persisted even to recent times. The theory of recrystallisation was quite wrong, and inhibited worthwhile research until the work of <mask> a few years later, which showed the weakening effect of repeated flexure on large beams. Nevertheless, fatigue remained a serious and poorly understood phenomenon, and was the root cause of many accidents on the railways and elsewhere. It is still a serious problem, but at least is much better understood today, and so can be prevented by careful design. Other work

<mask> served as Regius Professor of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Glasgow from November 1855 until his death in December 1872, pursuing engineering research along a number of lines in civil and mechanical engineering. <mask> was instrumental in the formation of the forerunner of Glasgow University Officer Training Corps, the 2nd Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps at Glasgow University in July 1859, becoming Major in 1860 after it was formed into the first company of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps; he served until 1864, when he resigned due to pressure of work – much of it associated with Naval Architecture.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Colorado Rockies, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies,  Pittsburgh Pirates, and Kansas City Royals. His older brother, <mask>, has also played in MLB. Early life
<mask> was born in Dallas, Texas, and still makes his offseason home there. He attended Midland High School in Midland, Texas. Professional career
The Colorado Rockies selected <mask> as a sandwich pick (44th overall) between the first and second rounds of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft as compensation for not signing their first round pick in the 2000 Major League Baseball Draft (Matt Harrington). He won the USA Baseball Richard W. "Dick" Case Player of the Year Award in 2007.Colorado Rockies
<mask> began the 2008 season as the Colorado Rockies starting second baseman but over the next month, he saw his playing time diminish. On April 26, 2008, <mask> was designated for assignment. He had played in 17 games and batted .111 with no home runs. On April 30 he cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A. <mask> was batting .300 with 17 home runs and 49 RBI for the Sky Sox in 2008 when his minor league season ended as a result of his being selected for the 2008 USA Olympic Baseball Team. In the team's third game at the Olympics, against Cuba, <mask> hit a solo home run in the eighth inning. While leading off the eleventh inning with runners on first and second as per Olympic rules, <mask> fouled a ball off his left eye.He left the game for the hospital and missed the rest of the Beijing Games. Team USA lost, 5–4, to the defending champions in eleven innings. Chicago White Sox

On October 28, 2008, <mask> signed as a free agent with the Chicago White Sox. On May 7, 2009, <mask> hit his 1st career home run off of Armando Galarraga. He followed with his second career home run just five days later. On May 26, <mask> homered twice against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. On the

<mask> (born October 24, 1954) is an American accountant and politician serving as the U.S. representative for California's 30th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he first entered Congress in 1997; <mask> represented California's 24th congressional district for three terms and California's 27th congressional district for five terms. His district is in the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles County, as well as the eastern part of the Simi Hills in Ventura County. He resides in Sherman Oaks. Early life, education, and early career
<mask> was born in Los Angeles, the son of Lane (from the Philadelphia area) and <mask> (from Indiana). His parents were both of Russian Jewish descent. He attended Mark Keppel High School and Corona del Mar High School.He received a B.A. in political science from University of California, Los Angeles, in 1974, and a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1979. He is also a tax law specialist and Certified Public Accountant. Before joining Congress, <mask> worked at one of the nations' big-four CPA firms, participated in audits of large businesses and governmental entities as a staff member, provided tax law counsel on multi-million-dollar transactions, advised entrepreneurs and small businesses on tax and investment issues, and helped represent the Philippine government under Corazon Aquino in a successful effort to seize assets of deposed president Ferdinand Marcos. <mask> was also an instructor at Harvard Law School's International Tax Program.

Elections

In 1994, incumbent Democratic U.S. Representative Anthony C.

Of course it's a war crime committed by Hamas. And of course the owners of this TV network help fund Hamas." <mask> emphasized that Hamas often aims attacks at civilian targets.The Qatari government owns Al Jazeera. In December 2014, <mask> and Representative Pete Roskam requested new sanctions on Qatar in a letter to Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew.

In December 2017, eight former aides to <mask> said that his offices in Washington, D.

 and a close advisor, who began working for <mask> in 2005, and became district director to <mask> in 2009. Dababneh was elected to the California State Assembly in 2013 and resigned from that body after allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct were made against him. Former employees in <mask>'s office told the Los Angeles Times that Dababneh frequently made inappropriate sexual remarks, including degrading and sexist comments, and bragged about his sexual exploits.No one suggested that <mask> knew of Dababneh's conduct, but several staffers said that the office environment did not encourage reporting and that <mask> would not have been receptive to complaints about a trusted advisor. <mask> has acknowledged being "a demanding boss" but "denied that his management style contributed to the silence about Dababneh's behavior". Surveys of Capitol Hill staff rated <mask> as one of the worst members of Congress to work for, with high staff turnover rates.

One among those is to talk to me personally. And I talk to each staff member several times a year about the office policy."The exchange was cut from a video of the event that <mask>'s office posted to YouTube; the office said that it excluded from the highlight reel "all questions asked by a questioner working with an opponent's campaign if the questioner failed to disclose that fact in their question".

<mask> (born 13 May 1962) is an Australian comedian, actor, writer, director, singer, artist and television personality. As a comedian, he is best known both for Good News Week and for his role as a member of the musical comedy group the Doug Anthony All Stars, which disbanded in 1994 but reformed in 2014; he has also performed individually and as a part of GUD. He has frequently appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and taken part in its two major televised productions, the Comedy Festival Gala and the Great Debate. He has also hosted two other ABC programs and briefly featured on Triple J as a morning radio presenter between 1996 and 1997. He hosted Good News Week until 2012, and has since pursued his painting career, and given a series of concerts featuring self-penned songs of a more serious nature. McDermott is a published author, having released several books both in collaboration with the Doug Anthony All Stars and individually. He has written as a columnist for a number of Australian newspapers and a selection of his columns have been compiled into a book, The Forgetting of Wisdom.He has also written and illustrated two storybooks, both of which have been adapted into short films with <mask> scripting, directing, performing and painting all of the animations. Personal life
<mask> was born in Adelaide, South Australia, a fraternal twin and one of six children in a Catholic family. His father, John, was a senior public servant and his mother, Betty, a home manager. The family moved to Canberra when McDermott was three. He attended Marist College Canberra, where he describes himself as having been painfully shy and a "bit of a loner"; Dickson College; and the Canberra School of Art at the Australian National University, where he studied art for four years. He describes painting as his first love, and still considers his final year piece at art school to be his finest work. Indeed, he only started performing at the age of 25 because he needed money to buy canvases."It was

 either that or waiting on tables and I thought I'd soon get pissed off with people doing that," he says. Privately, McDermott maintains his interest in art through painting, drawing and hand-crafting books. He works under the alias of artist 'Young Master <mask>'. He has criticised the war on drugs and society's tendency to ignore the large drug subculture that involves people of all ages. "It's out there and it happens, but there's still a fear of talking about it," he says. "In cities like Manchester, with unemployment problems, there are no-alcohol venues where five thousand people under the age of sixteen are eccy'd off their heads every Saturday night." He has one son, Xavier, with his partner Melissa Lyne.He is also the first cousin of retired Adelaide Crows AFL footballer and current Adelaide media personality <mask>. Career

Doug Anthony All Stars

McDermott began busking in 1985, which he says equipped him with useful experience and the ability to cope with most situations when he later started performing in clubs. He joined a group called Gigantic Fly which performed at a new Canberra club called Cafe Boom Boom. It was here that he got to know Tim Ferguson and Richard Fidler of the musical comedy group the Doug Anthony All Stars (DAAS). <mask> was asked to join the group when the third member, Robert Piper, left due to other commitments. His primary reason for joining, he says, was monetary: "I'd been stealing canvas from the bins around the art school." Initially busking and performing live in clubs, with <mask> writing the majority of their material and songs, DAAS achieved success at the 1986 Adelaide Fringe Festival and subsequently travelled to Britain for the Edinburgh Fringe festival, where they were nominated for the Perrier Award.They toured both nationally and internationally, appearing on British television and playing at the opening of the Barcelona Olympics. After initially struggling to gain success in Australia, in 1989 DAAS was picked up to perform on the ABC show The

 Big Gig, on which they became a popular feature. They appeared frequently on the show until 1991, when the group premiered their own series on the ABC, DAAS Kapital, which ran for two seasons. McDermott says that he liked performing with DAAS because it allowed him to bring together a range of his interests—he got to write, perform, sing, create costumes and paint backdrops. The group split up in 1995 after a final farewell tour of Australia. Rumours of a falling out among the trio persisted for many years, but all three maintained that they had parted on good terms and that it had simply been time to move on, as they had wanted to pursue careers in different directions. Ferguson has since revealed that the break-up was in large part due to his being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1995.In the two years following the break-up of DAAS, McDermott wrote two film scripts and the stage show MOSH!. He says that he was not particularly interested in returning to comedy, which he came to regard as an "aberration, something that had been good to do for eight years but now it was over," until in 1996 he was recruited as host of the satirical news-based quiz show Good News Week. In 2014, <mask> and Tim Ferguson reunited to tour Australia as the Doug Anthony All Stars, with frequent collaborator <mask> (also known as "Flacco") replacing Richard Fidler as guitarist due to Fidler's radio commitments. Television career
In 1996, <mask> was recruited by director Ted Robinson, with whom he had previously worked on The Big Gig, to host Good News Week, which aired on the ABC from 1996 to 1998, and on Network Ten from 1999 to 2000 and then returned in 2008 for a new series. He hosted the AFI awards in 2002, and in 2004 and 2005 presented the ABC show Strictly Dancing. <mask> reunited with Robinson in 2007 when he was named host of a new ABC variety program, The Sideshow, a show described as a successor to The Big Gig. It premiered on 21 April 2007, and quickly built a strong cult audience.However, due in part

 to poor programming, the show did not rate well and was cancelled after its initial run of 26 episodes. <mask> says he was saddened by The Sideshow'''s cancellation as he believed it was an excellent venue for performers of alternative work which would have achieved ratings success if it had been allowed to continue. <mask> returned to regular television hosting in July 2015 as the host of Room 101, an Australian version of the long running British TV Show of the same name, airing on SBS One. In 2018, <mask> returned to the ABC as presenter of quiz show Think Tank. Good News Week

<mask> hosted Good News Week from 1996 until its cancellation in 2000, as well as its two spinoffs, Good News Weekend (1998) and GNW Night Lite (1999), and reprised this role when the series returned in 2008. A comedic quiz show with a similar format to that of the British program Have I Got News for You, it features two teams, with two permanent captains and four guests, competing to answer questions based on recent news events. <mask> opens each show with a humorous monologue based on the news on the week and is responsible for posing questions and awarding points to teams."I'm sort of judge, jury and executioner," he says of his role. The show premiered on the ABC, but moved to Network Ten in 1999. The ABC was initially apprehensive about Robinson's choice of <mask> as host. He had dreadlocks at the time, and was best known for the crude, aggressive "bad boy" character he had played in the Doug Anthony All Stars, which many tended to confuse with his actual personality. In addition, it was doubted that he was capable of ad libbing and speaking well, as in past interviews he had usually allowed his fellow band members to do most of the talking. <mask> cut off his dreadlocks for the show and succeeded in broadening his appeal by showing a gentler, more charming side as host. He has said that although he feels there are still elements of his more aggressive character in Good News Week, they are "toned down...I've got

 to be the generous host now, spin-the-wheel sort of thing. I'm basing myself on Mike Brady now. I'm the disciplinarian." He would regularly sing on the program, particularly on Good News Weekend and GNW Night Lite, including some of his own original songs. In one episode, <mask> performed the self-penned "Shut Up and Kiss Me" as a duet with Fiona Horne. It was met with such a warm reception from viewers that it was eventually released as a single. Some of his other musical performances from the series are featured on the CD Good News Week Tapes Volume 2, and a collection of his monologues from the start of the show appear on Good News Week Tapes Volume 1.<mask> expressed his relief when the show was cancelled in 2000, saying that he could not have maintained the relentless production schedule for much longer. "I'm just so tired, I don't feel I have been human for five years," he said. Network Ten had initially intended only to bring back Good News Week as a one-off special, but decided to expand it after the short supply of US shows resulting from the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike caused the network to take an interest in developing more local programs. The revived series premiered on 11 February 2008 with <mask> reprising his role as host. In 2010, <mask> was nominated for a Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. Live comedy
<mask> describes his performance style as "in your face and unapologetic, grotesque, offensive, loud. But it's all essentially me with the amp turned up—I don't own that many great acting skills."He has stated that he does not consider any subject out of bounds in terms of comedy, which is "one of [his] problems". "I honestly believe you can make a joke about anything if you have something to say," he says. "It really depends on the motivation... The moral objective, I suppose." He is interested in topical humour and targets issues about which he feels passionately, including the detainment of David Hicks, the AWB scandal,

 torture and the War on Terror. In 1995 he wrote, directed and performed in a stage show entitled MOSH!, which he says is based on "my drug-addled observations when I've been abusing substances". MOSH!received a range of responses; it won the award for best fringe show at the Adelaide festival and was described by one reviewer as "often hilarious", but was savaged by other critics as being "gratuitously offensive". Columbia Artists expressed interest in the show, but after nearly a decade of international travel with the Doug Anthony All Stars, <mask> did not wish to go to New York to do an off-Broadway show. He reappeared in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from 2002 with Cameron Bruce and Mick Moriarty in a music-based comedy trio called GUD. The group uses topical humour in its music; their act includes songs about Osama bin Laden, the transportation of live animal stock and what they describe as contemporary Australian "folk heroes" such as Chopper Read, Rene Rivkin and convicted serial killer Ivan Milat. McDermott says that GUD is in a similar vein to the Doug Anthony All Stars in that it revolves around music, comedy and the inter-relationships between the band members onstage. According to McDermott, the group is named GUD in mockery of the way American people pronounce the word "God", "because that's who Americans thank at awards ceremonies, and I thought someone should be taking the credit." Their 2003 show, "Gud Ugh", won The Age Critic's Choice Award for best Australian show of the festival.In 2002, he also performed a solo stand-up show entitled Comedyoscopy, a deconstruction of comedy, comedic techniques and what makes people laugh. He has frequently participated in the televised Comedy Festival Gala, appearing in 2008 as its host, and has often captained one of the two competing teams in the festival's Great Debate since his first debate appearance in 1994.

texts: Australian and The Age. In late 2000, a selection of his columns were published in his first solo book, The Forgetting of Wisdom. Prior to this, he had coauthored books with the Doug Anthony All Stars (Book, DAAS Kapital and Trip) and the writers of Good News Week (Good News Week Books One and Two). He has also written and illustrated three children's books, two of which (being The Scree and The Girl Who Swallowed Bees) have been adapted into short films with McDermott scripting, directing, performing and painting all of the animations. <mask> describes the stories as "little Gothic, dark, morality tales" which draw on the dark children's tales he consumed during his own childhood, such as the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales.The 2004 film adaptation of The Scree won Best Film at the 2005 Flickerfest International Film Festival and was nominated for an AFI Award for Best Short Fiction Film, while The Girl Who Swallowed Bees (2007) won the AFI Award for Best Short Animation. <mask> says he enjoys filmmaking because it brings together all of his skills. He reportedly has plans to work on a third short film, entitled Crab Boy and the Girl in the Shell, and has expressed an interest in moving into feature films. He also voiced characters in the 2009 short film Tegan the Vegan. <mask> has also had roles in Australian film, musical theatre and radio. In 2002, he appeared in the Australian theatre production of The Witches of Eastwick in the role of Darryl Van Horne. Despite having sworn he would never do a musical, <mask> says he was interested in the show because "it was still forming, still shaping.It's more challenging than doing a musical that's already in place." He has also had small acting roles in several Australian films, including that of the band manager in The Night We Called It a Day and Trevor in the TV miniseries Through My Eyes: The Lindy Chamberlain Story. In 2020, it was reported that he would play the leading role in an upcoming miniseries, The Home Team, opposite actress, Tara Morice.

<mask> (July 15, 1875 – October 30, 1959) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 37th governor of Tennessee from 1933 to 1937. He also served as Nashville's city attorney in the early 1900s, and as Tennessee's state treasurer in the 1920s and early 1930s. Inaugurated as governor at the height of the Great Depression, McAlister enacted massive spending cuts in an attempt to stabilize state finances. He coordinated federal programs in the state aimed at providing Depression-era relief. McAlister withdrew from state politics in 1936 following a quarrel with powerful Memphis political boss E. H. Crump. He spent the last two decades of his life as a Referee in Bankruptcy in Nashville's district court. Early life
<mask> was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1875, the son of <mask>, a lawyer and judge, and Laura (Dortch<mask>.He attended Vanderbilt University, graduating with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) in 1897. He was admitted to the bar, and began practice in Nashville in 1899. McAlister became Nashville's assistant city attorney in 1901, and was elevated to city attorney in 1905. He was elected to the Tennessee Senate in 1910, and served two terms (1911–1915). As a state senator, he sought stricter enforcement of laws regarding education and child labor, and advocated better food and drug inspections. He also sought funding for a tuberculosis hospital for Nashville. McAlister was an elector for President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and served on the state Democratic Executive Committee from 1918 to 1920.The Tennessee General Assembly appointed McAlister state treasurer in 1919. He served in this position until 1927, and again from 1931 to 1933. During the 1920s, he consistently warned that the state faced an impending financial crisis, and assailed Governor Austin Peay's reforms. Governor

texts: 1926, McAlister sought the Democratic Party's nomination against the incumbent, Austin Peay. Peay had radically transformed the state government, and had angered numerous members of his own party in the process, among them political bosses E. H. Crump of Memphis and Hilary Howse of Nashville. With the help of Crump and Howse, <mask> was able to win Shelby and Davidson counties, but Peay won the state's rural areas and East Tennessee, and defeated McAlister for the nomination by 7,000 votes. In 1928, <mask> again sought the nomination, this time against incumbent Henry Horton, who had become governor following Peay's death the previous year.McAlister had the support of Crump and Howse, while Horton had the support of powerful publisher Luke Lea. A third candidate, Lewis S. Pope, also sought the nomination. Though the primary campaign was hard-fought, <mask> fell short, losing to Horton 97,333 votes to 92,017 (Pope tallied just 27,779 votes). By late 1930, the effects of the stock market crash of 1929 had reached Tennessee. A few days after Horton's victory in the general election, numerous banks controlled by Lea's business associate, Rogers Caldwell, failed, wiping out over $6 million in state deposits. Horton faced impeachment, and Lea was indicted on charges of bank fraud. While the motion calling for Horton's impeachment failed in the state House, both Caldwell and Lea were eventually convicted on charges of bank fraud.<mask>, who had warned of the impending crisis, was reappointed state treasurer, and sought the party's nomination for governor again in 1932. Although Horton had survived impeachment, he did not seek further reelection, and McAlister's main competitors were Pope and former governor Malcolm R. Patterson. Crump's support, which gave McAlister a 25,000-vote advantage in Shelby County, proved to be the

Pope accused Crump of voter fraud, and ran against McAlister in the general election as an independent. On election day, McAlister won easily, with 169,075 votes to 117,797 for the Republican candidate, John E. McCall, and 106,990 for Pope. Facing a $6 million state debt and an economy ravaged by business and bank failures, McAlister immediately began trimming the state government. He slashed over 2,300 jobs from the government workforce, and cut $7 million in state spending.These cuts included the cost of the governor's mansion, which McAlister reduced from $35,000 per year to just $1,000. McAlister supported the Tennessee Valley Authority and other Depression-era federal programs. The construction of Norris Dam and Pickwick Landing Dam began during his tenure. In April 1933, shortly after the beginning of McAlister's term, the state adopted the iris as the state flower, and the mockingbird as the state bird. In 1934, Pope, determined to break Crump's power, again challenged McAlister for the Democratic nomination, but came up short, winning just 137,253 votes to McAlister's 191,460. In the general election, Pope once again ran as an independent, and tried to form a fusion ticket with  former Republican governor Ben W. Hooper, similar to the one that had elected Hooper more than two decades earlier. Hooper called on Republicans to support Pope in the gubernatorial election, while Pope called on independent Democrats to support Hooper in his Senate campaign against Crump ally, Kenneth McKellar.The plan failed, however, with Pope losing to McAlister, 198,743 votes to 122,965, and McKellar soundly defeating Hooper. During his second term, McAlister angered Crump by proposing a state sales tax. Crump's  allies in the

 state house defeated the tax, and he broke off support for McAlister, calling him "our sorriest governor." McAlister angered Crump further when he refused to allow the sale of liquor in Memphis (federal prohibition had ended with the repeal of the 18th Amendment, but state prohibition remained in effect). Realizing he had little chance of winning without Crump's support, McAlister did not seek reelection to a third term. Later life

Following his second term, <mask> retired to his home in Nashville, and continued to practice law. He was appointed field counsel for the Bituminous Coal Commission in Washington, D.C., in 1936.In 1940, he was appointed Referee in Bankruptcy for Nashville's federal district court, and remained in this position for the rest of his life. He died on October 30, 1959, and was buried in Nashville's Mount Olivet Cemetery. Family

McAlister was descended (via his mother) from two former Tennessee governors, Willie Blount (1768–1835), his great-great-grandfather, and Aaron V. Brown (1795–1859), his great-grandfather. Willie Blount was the younger half-brother of territorial governor, William Blount. McAlister married Louise Jackson, daughter of U.S. Supreme Court justice Howell E. Jackson, in 1901. They had two daughters. See also

<mask> (born 21 August 1972) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as both a midfielder and forward. He notably played in La Liga for Barcelona and in the Premier League for Southampton and Manchester City. In his native land he played Brøndby IF where he won two Danish football championships and later had spells with Lyngby and Odense Boldklub. He would also play in Ligue 1 with Toulouse and in the English Football League with Walsall before finishing his career in the United States with Major League Soccer side San Jose Earthquakes. Ekelund played 21 matches and scored three goals for the Danish under-21 national team and represented Denmark at the 1992 Summer Olympics football tournament. He was named 1988 Danish under-17 Talent of the Year. Following retirement, he briefly played indoor soccer for California Cougars before returning to San Jose Earthquakes for a period as their technical advisor.Playing career

Ekelund started his professional career with Danish club Brøndby IF in 1988. He made his first team debut at the age of 15, becoming the youngest player ever to appear in the top-flight Danish 1st Division. <mask> was a part of the 1990 and 1991 Danish championship winning Brøndby team. He played a total 63 games for Brøndby in all competitions. Barcelona
His involvement in the 1992 Summer Olympics impressed defending Spanish La Liga champions FC Barcelona. He joined Danish-Spaniard Thomas Christiansen at FC Barcelona B, the second-string team of the club. Due to league restrictions on the number of foreigners in the playing line-up, Ekelund had a hard time displacing stars like Michael Laudrup, Hristo Stoichkov and Romário in the Barcelona attack.He played a single league match during the 1993–94 season, coming on the field as a substitute and playing 33 minutes, before leaving the

 club. Southampton
Ekelund went to England, to FA Premier League club Southampton in 1994. In the 1994 pre-season, Southampton and Barcelona stayed at the same hotel during a training camp. Before leaving, Barcelona manager Johann Cruyff asked Southampton manager Alan Ball what he wanted as a parting gift. Ball replied "A left sided midfielder", and the next day Ekelund was ready to play for the "Saints". Ekelund was an instant hit at Southampton's The Dell stadium with his skills on the ball, forming a great understanding with English forward Matthew Le Tissier, who Ekelund later described as being on level with Ronald Koeman and Romário. Ekelund soon suffered a back injury, and which the Southampton medical team felt that this could only be cured by surgery.As <mask> refused to "go under the knife", the disagreement put paid to any hopes of a permanent transfer deal. <mask> underwent brief loan deals with English clubs Manchester City and Coventry City, but injuries limited his playing time there. He was loaned out to Danish Superliga club Lyngby FC, playing four games for the club in May 1996. Later career
<mask> went back to Denmark on a permanent basis in 1996, when he moved to Odense BK. He played two Superliga seasons for Odense, before the club was relegated to the secondary Danish 1st Division. He played one season for Odense in the 1st Division before moving on in the summer 1999. He moved to French club Toulouse FC in Ligue 2.Ekelund helped Toulouse win promotion for the top-flight Ligue 1 championship, but the manager was fired and Ekelund left the club. During a training session while on trial with English club Bolton Wanderers in the second-tier Football League First Division, Ekelund suffered an injury which forced him out of the game for three months. When he recovered, Ekelund signed with English team
