 Walsall in the third-tier Football League Second Division in December 2000, to play under manager Ray Graydon who Ekelund knew as a coach from his time at Southampton. Ekelund played nine league games for Walsall, scoring once against Bournemouth. He was offered a new contract by Graydon, but decided to leave Europe in 2001. In April 2001, Ekelund transferred to US club San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer, who competed with Colorado Rapids for Ekelund's signature. Ekelund suffered a knee injury in his first season at Earthquakes, but recovered and soon became ever-present in the starting lineup.With great passing skill and leadership qualities, <mask> helped the team win the 2001 MLS Cup in his first Earthquakes season. In the following season, <mask> was named in the 2002 MLS Best XI selection. In 2003, he helped the Earthquakes win the MLS Cup once more, as he scored in the 4–2 win against Chicago Fire. In 2004, the Earthquakes management team changed, and <mask> was deemed surplus to requirements. In four seasons with San Jose, <mask> scored 11 goals (five of them penalty kicks) and made 16 assists in the regular season. He also scored a goal and made four assists in the playoffs. He left the team after the 2004 MLS season, and made the move to indoor soccer in 2005 joining the California Cougars, coached by his good friend and former teammate Troy Dayak.During the 2005–06 season, <mask> offered his experience to Southampton as a coaching staff member unsuccessfully. He joined the coaching staff of the Earthquakes in 2008 as Technical Advisor, helping with the day-to-day training of the team. International career
<mask> made his name known when he debuted for the Danish under-17 national team in October 1987. He scored 10 goals in 23 games for the Denmark under-17s, and was named 1988 Danish under-17 Talent

<mask> (born 5 October 1966 in Hamburg) is a German artist. His work includes film and video art, photography, installation and objects. <mask> interprets interpersonal conflicts as a result of systemic pressure. Often an individual event is brought to mind in the context of historical events. Life

<mask>' youth is marked by visits to the southern English coast. The proximity to the British overseas ports led him to develop a strong passion for transatlantic ships. Although this topic is not the focus of his work, his works–especially film–reflect countless details and often metaphoric imagery.From 1988, <mask> studied at the Stuttgart State Academy of Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg and attended the classes of Katharina Sieverding and Franz Erhard Walther. From 1998 to 2000 he studied Film at the University of Hamburg by Michael Ballhaus and others. Since 2010 he has been teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts, Saarbrücken/GER.

"War Years"

<mask> <mask>, who has an outwardly apparent similarity to the U.S. actor Orson Welles, directed his artistic debut work in 1996. In his film "War Years", he styled a relationship crisis, a World War II. A huge kitchen table turns into a battlefield on which quarreling lovers, staged in allusion to the meeting between Winston Churchill (<mask> mimes) and Adolf Hitler.Like many details in a surreal film event, the film is to be experienced from the narrative perspective of a large model ship that is involved in the turmoil of war. The film focuses on the media handling of the serious German heritage, breaking taboos: images and sounds, figures, landscapes and architecture of the Nazi dictatorship and World War II fade into the storyline of the film with a character of many. In almost playful manner Nazi and Allied war strategies are identified as historical fund with scenes from a private relationship clinch. The

 relationship drama put the "War Years " as a tableau of social landscape in a soulless world: People are pressed into the intellectual cross transitions of serious seeming commentary voices and appear involved in the gluttonous machinery of a war that is raging in the vacuum between the social, historical and collateral relations. "Freedom is not for free"

In <mask>' installation "Freedom is not for free" from 2006, the theme of his work is similar to "War Years", ending a conflict of love in front of the tribunal of a human rights committee. The case is a troubadour of grotesque stereotypes and behavior against better knowledge. Behind the individual drama the work traces a vision of society in which the fulfillment of human aspirations through lobbying and manipulation is prevented by the media.As in most current work of <mask> <mask> video sequences like in "Freedom is not for free" are in the center of his installation in which objects, photographs and records of private origin are connected with historical events. The battle of the sexes mutates into the confrontation between the two superpowers during the Cold War. Acting as historical figures acquaintances were kit out by <mask> before he photographed them in known poses. Treating his friends ironically deceptively similar, <mask> overstates politicians such as John F. Kennedy, Che Guevara, Mao Tse-tung, Willy Brandt and other prominent partners of the policy of the Iron Curtain. In his productions he refers repeatedly to the "wild" 1960s, in which he sees sexual taboos coded by power struggles in social dimension. Selected exhibitions

<mask> (January 21, 1833 - April 11, 1898) was an Italian engraver and painter, noted for his work as a foreign advisor to Meiji period Japan, and for his collection of Japanese art. He designed the first Japanese bank notes. Biography
<mask> was born in Arenzano, Province of Genoa, as the son of a printer. In 1847 he enrolled in the Accademia Ligustica, where he specialized in copper-plate engraving, and graduated in 1855. In 1857 he entered the atelier of Raffaele Granara and made several engravings of famous art works. One of his works was selected for display at the Exposition Universelle (1867) in Paris. Later in 1867 he started working for the Italian National Bank and was sent to the Dondorf-Naumann company in Frankfurt, Germany to be trained in the making of paper money.While he was there, the company began making bank notes for the Imperial Japanese government, and in 1874 he was sent to London to learn new printing techniques. At this point he was invited to go to Japan, and accepted. Many of the portraits by Chiossone have been lost, and others only survive in reproduction; they can all be said to have been faithful likenesses. His well-known portrait of the Emperor Meiji is so realistic that it has often been mistaken to be an actual photograph. <mask> in Japan
<mask> arrived in Japan on January 12, 1875. The government Printing Bureau (Insatsu Kyoku) which was part of the Ministry of Finance (Okurasho) was under the directorship of Tokuno Ryosuke, who was eager to introduce modern machinery and techniques. The practical implementation of this policy was entirely the work of <mask>, who founded printing companies such as Toppan Insatsu, trained the Japanese in printing techniques, designed official papers, paper

texts: currencies and postage stamps, taught the art of making printing ink and printing paper (with a watermark in it), and taught how to make many copies from one plate.After five months <mask> was offered a three-year contract with a monthly salary of 450 yen and a house; this was one of the highest salaries paid to a foreigner, and twice that of fellow Italian Antonio Fontanesi who was hired to teach oil painting, and his house was outside the foreign enclave in Tsukiji (he lived first in Kanda and then in Kōjimachi, with a retinue of servants). At the end of 1875 he made his first portrait, an engraving of the German physician Philipp Franz von Siebold. He also designed the "koban" postage stamp series which was issued in 1876/92. As there was a taboo against using the emperor's portrait, he had to resort to other images, such as the imperial chrysanthemum. Other portraits followed in 1876, those of Ōkubo Toshimichi, Saigō Tsugumichi (younger brother of Saigō Takamori, who was Minister of the Navy and Home Minister), and William Chapman Ralston of the Bank of California. The next year the Emperor Meiji, attended by a hundred persons including Prince Arisugawa and Iwakura Tomomi visited the Printing Bureau and <mask>'s working room (destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake). That year <mask> also designed the first modern Japanese bank note, a one-yen note with the figure of Daikoku, the god of wealth.The next year he produced the first bank note containing a human figure, the image of the legendary Empress Jingū. In 1879 <mask> went on a trip around Japan with Tokuno Ryosuke to record ancient art works and monuments; 510 photographs were taken and <mask> made 200 drawings. Tokuno recorded in his diary, published ten years

In 1883 <mask> was asked to make a portrait of Saigō Takamori, who had already been dead for six years; for this purpose he combined the features of Saigō's younger brother and a cousin of his, and this became the standard portrait and the model for famed bronze statue in Ueno Park. <mask> also made a portrait of Tokuno two months before he died in that year, and designed his tombstone. In 1888 he received his highest recognition, when he was asked to produce a portrait of the Emperor, to be used as the official state portrait.The only existing portrait at that time was a photograph taken ten years before, and the Emperor refused to be photographed again. So the grand chamberlain Tokudaiji Sanemori arranged for <mask> to sketch the Emperor at the palace from behind a screen. From his sketches, <mask> produced two conté drawings of the Emperor, one in military uniform and the other in civilian clothes. These were then photographed and became the official images of the Emperor, and served as the basis of all the familiar representations. Besides being engaged in painting portraits, which included further portraits of the Empress, the future Emperor Taishō, General Ōyama Iwao, Iwakura Tomomi and Sanjō Sanetomi, <mask> was constantly kept busy at the Printing Bureau, producing plates for notes, stamps and bonds; in 1888 he produced a 5‑yen bank note with the figure of Sugawara Michizane on it, and, as his last work before retiring, a 100‑yen note with Fujiwara Kamatari (614‑669) on it. In 1891 he retired with 3,000 yen severance pay and an annual pension of 1,200 yen. He also received the Order of

 the Sacred Treasure, 3rd class.Death
On April 11, 1898, <mask> died of heart failure at his home in Kōjimachi, and was buried in Aoyama Cemetery, where his tomb can still be seen in the foreign section. The papers brought out long articles on his death, and the Japan Weekly Mail spoke of his high reputation both for his artistic ability and for his friendly nature. Legacy
<mask> was an avid collector of Japanese art, with a wide range including nihonga, ukiyo-e, Buddhist sculptures and liturgical objects, archaeological objects, lacquerware, porcelain, Noh masks, armor and weapons, musical instruments, and clothing for men and women. Per a provision in his will, this collection was sent to the Ligurian Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa after his death, where it was later formed into the Museum of Japanese Art "Edoardo Chiossone", opened to the public by King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy on October 30, 1905.

<mask> (Maloney) (born 18 August 1945) is an Australian guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter best known as an official member of The Bee Gees from 1967 to 1969 during the group’s initial period of worldwide success. Prior to joining Bee Gees in March 1967, he had formed the bands The Vibratones (1963), The Aztecs (1964, later joined by Billy Thorpe), <mask> And Tony’s Two (1965, with Tony Barber) and The Vince Maloney Sect (1966.) In 1970, <mask> put together the Australian “supergroup” Fanny Adams. He was also briefly a member of Tony Worsley and The Blue Jays (1965,) Ashton, Gardner and Dyke (1969) and The Cleves (1971.) Career

<mask> was born in Sydney on 18 August 1945 and attended Normanhurst Boys High School from 1958 to 1961. As <mask>, he was a founding member of Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, whose cover of the classic "Poison Ivy" famously kept The Beatles from the Number 1 spot on the Sydney music charts at the very moment that the Fab Four was making its first and only tour of Australia. <mask> was the band’s lead guitarist from 1963 to 1965, playing on five Top Ten hits.This was followed by a short-lived duo with fellow Aztec Tony Barber, called <mask> & Tony's Two. In 1966, he released two singles by The Vince Maloney Sect including the Garage Rock classic “No Good Without You” along with a solo single, "I Need Your Lovin' Tonight" and its B-side, "Mystery Train"; Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb sing backup vocals on both songs. <mask> also played guitar with The Beatles’ mentor Tony Sheridan and the Joe Meek-produced artists Heinz and Screaming Lord Sutch when they toured Australia in the ‘60s. In late 1966, he relocated to London

As a member of The Bee Gees, <mask> appeared on seven US Top 20 singles; "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "To Love Somebody," "Holiday," "Massachusetts," "Words," "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" and "I Started A Joke" plus four US Top 20 albums; "Bee Gees' First," "Horizontal," "Idea" and "Odessa." Tracks featuring <mask> also appear on The Bee Gees' platinum album "Their Greatest Hits: The Record" and their gold albums "Best Of Bee Gees," "Number Ones" and "Ultimate Bee Gees." <mask>'s television appearances with The Bee Gees include "The Ed Sullivan Show," "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" and "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" in the US, "Top Of The Pops" in the UK and "Beat Club" in Germany.The Bee Gees' songs involving <mask> have been covered by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Gram Parsons, Dusty Springfield, Blur, Noel Gallagher, Flaming Lips and many other legendary artists. In June 1968, while he was a Bee Gee he wrote and sang lead on "Such a Shame" (the only song on a Bee Gees album that was not written by one of the Gibb brothers). The song was released on the UK version of the album Idea, but on the US version, it was replaced by "I've Gotta Get a Message to You". Melouney prefers the Gibson Les Paul guitar and can be seen playing this model (and occasionally a Gibson SG or a Fender Telecaster) in numerous Bee Gees videos and live performances from 1967 and 1968. <mask>

In November 1968, it was reported by the UK music magazine, NME, that Melouney's final concert with the Bee Gees would be on 1 December, following the end of their current German tour. The original 5-piece Bee Gees broke up in 1969 with the Gibb brothers reforming as a trio in 1970.149 individual mono, stereo and alternate tracks that <mask> was involved with have been released by The Bee Gees so far (not counting unauthorized BBC and live recordings.)

The b-side, “See The Sun In My Eyes” is actually a <mask> solo recording (originally recorded for Apple Records,) written, performed and produced by <mask> and donated to Ashton, Gardner and Dyke. Due to restructuring at Apple, the single was released by <mask>’s former label, Polydor Records.

After finishing that tour, he completed his first solo album, released with the title Covers which had ten cover versions of songs, including "Poison Ivy”, “Come Together", and "Over The Rainbow”. Melouney's influence was the Band, through their album Music from Big Pink, as he explained: "I am influenced to the extent that I can see what they are doing and I respect that. I’ve let their ideas augment my ideas". In 2020, <mask> released his version of his friends The Easybeats' song "Women (Make You Feel Alright)" which was produced by the legendary Shel Talmy whose credits include classic tracks by The Kinks, The Who, The Creation and others. “Women” features <mask> on vocal and lead guitar, joined by Clem Burke of Blondie on drums, Jonathan Lea of The Jigsaw Seen on additional guitars, Alec Palao on bass and Paul Kopf on backing vocals.

<mask>  (1852 (or 1853) – 1874) was a Gateshead songwriting collier who died at the age of 21. Life
<mask> was born in 1852 (or 1853) at Wardley Colliery, near Gateshead. He started work as an apprentice to a Mr Romanis, a Gateshead painter and glazier, but had a restless nature and in a very short time changed trade to work as a cartwright or wainwright, working in Felling and then, for the rest of his short life, as a coal miner working in the coal pits. Even here he was restless and took to various forms of art to break the monotony. He was already writing songs, many very humorous and topical, and added singing to his repertoire. He took to appearing in various local concerts, and although not a very good singer, his performance and his materials were always appreciated by the audience. He was also a talented artist, and using water colours and pencil, produced some more than acceptable works of art, but none appear to have survived.But song writing became his first love. He wrote numerous songs which appeared in John W Chater's "Keelmin's comic annewal", entered many into the various competitions run by John W Chater and others, winning many prizes and medals. He also produced a book of over 40 pages (published by Stevenson and Dryden of Newcastle) containing his own songs, mostly songs which had been previously included in John W Chater's books, periodicals and chapbooks and which appeared in print in 1874, after his death. His output was prolific, as though he had a premonition of his early

<mask>, Jr. (February 9, 1916 – June 8, 1983) was a professor at the Harvard Business School in the 1960s and one of the co-creators (1965 a, b) of the capital asset pricing model. For a time, much confusion was created because the various economists working on this model independently failed to realize that they were saying much the same thing. They looked at the issue of capital asset valuation from different perspectives. William F. Sharpe, for example, approached the problem as an individual investor picking stocks. Lintner, on the other hand, approached it from the perspective of a corporation issuing shares of stock. Lintner was also known for a 1983 presentation he gave to the Financial Analysts Federation. For the first time he presented what has become known as the "Lintner Paper," formally titled “The Potential Role of Managed Commodity-Financial Futures Accounts (and/or Funds) in Portfolios of Stocks and Bonds.” Lintner's research combined a volatile asset, managed futures CTAs, with another volatile asset, stocks, to reduce overall portfolio volatility and improve returns.For NonCorrelated investors LIntner's work was a foundational milestone that has been used to advance this investment discipline. <mask> earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Kansas in 1939. He arrived at Harvard for graduate study the next year. He quickly impressed the faculty, and in 1942 became a member of the Society of Fellows, a three-year paid fellowship with no duties except self-directed research. Personal life
<mask> was born to <mask> and <mask> in Lone Elm, KS on February 9, 1916. From his first marriage to Sylvia Chace, he had two children, <mask> and Nancy Chace. From his second marriage to Eleanor Hodges, he had a stepson, Allan Hodges.<mask> died of a heart attack while driving on June 8, 1983 in Cambridge, MA. Education
He received an A.B., in 1939 and a M.A., in 1940 from the University of Kansas; a M.A., in 1942; and Ph.D., in 1946 from Harvard University. Positions

Lintner's dividend policy model
Lintner's dividend policy model is a model theorizing how a publicly-traded company sets its dividend policy. The logic is that every company wants to maintain a constant rate of dividend even if the results in a particular period are not up to the mark. The assumption is that investors will prefer to receive a certain dividend payout. The model states that dividends are paid according to two factors. The first is the net present value of earnings, with higher values indicating higher dividends.The second is the sustainability of earnings; that is, a company may increase its earnings without increasing its dividend payouts until managers are convinced that it will continue to maintain such earnings. The theory was adopted based on observations that many companies will set their long-run target dividends-to-earnings ratios based upon the amount of positive net-present-value projects that they have available. The model then uses two parameters, the target payout ratio and the speed where current dividends adjust to that target:

where:
   is the dividend per share at time
   is the dividend per share at time , i.e. last year's dividend per share
   is the speed of adjustment rate or the partial adjustment coefficient, with
   is the target dividend per share at time ,

 issues. When they talk about liberty, they don't mean any personal issues, there is very little respect for personal autonomy." Virginia gubernatorial campaign, 2013

In 2013, <mask> was nominated by the Libertarian Party of Virginia as the party's gubernatorial candidate.His campaign secured sufficient signatures to get him on the ballot, and he became the fourth minor party nominee in forty years to get on the Virginiastatewide  ballot. Sarvis ran against Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the race. Sarvis was not invited to the debates with Cuccinelli and the McAuliffe, even though some Virginia newspapers and others called for his inclusion. Opinion polls of Virginia voters found that <mask>'s support drew about equally from the Republican and Democratic-leaning voters. He polled from 7% to 14% in various polls. In August 2013, <mask> was endorsed by former Republican-turned-Libertarian governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson, However, former Republican U.S. Representative Ron Paul, a libertarian figure, endorsed Cuccinelli. <mask> debuted his first televised campaign ad during the showing of the NBC4 debate in September 2013.Near the end of the campaign, Purple PAC, a Libertarian-leaning super PAC, launched a six-figure television ad buy designed to boost the Sarvis campaign before election day; the ad first aired during the televised Virginia Tech debate on October 24, 2013. <mask> obtained 146,084 votes (6.5%), which was wider than McAuliffe's victory margin over Cuccinelli. Sarvis outperformed other Libertarian Party candidates, such as presidential candidate Gary Johnson, marking a record performance among Libertarian candidates in a gubernatorial elections.

 single financial contributor to his own campaign at $21,057. On election day, Glenn Beck's The Blaze reported that Sarvis' campaign was partly financed by software billionaire Joe Liemandt. Liemandt, founder of the software company Trilogy and an Obama campaign contributor, was the largest single contributor to the Libertarian Booster PAC.The Libertarian Booster PAC contributed $11,454 to Sarvis' campaign, or approximately 5% of Sarvis' total contributions, to help Sarvis achieve ballot access. Because of Liemandt's contribution to the Libertarian Booster PAC and because of the Libertarian Booster PAC's contribution to Sarvis, it would lead Rush Limbaugh to say, "the Democrats enlisted a 'fake Libertarian candidate' who was 'bought and paid for by an Obama bundler.'" Two days after the election, Wes Benedict, who founded the Libertarian Booster PAC and was the executive director for the Libertarian National Committee, released a statement countering Limbaugh's accusations, said Limbaugh's comment was an "outright lie" and called upon Limbaugh to retract the allegations. In an interview with US News and World Report, <mask> denied Limbaugh's accusations against him, saying they were false and part of a GOP "smear campaign." <mask> also noted that many of the direct donors to his campaign had given to Republicans in the past.

 also supported by former Republican activist Caleb Coulter. During his campaign, Sarvis criticized Warner for voting in favor of a campaign finance reform amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn the Citizens United v. FEC case, and criticized Gillespie's record as chairman of the Republican National Committee and as a Bush-era official. Sarvis also called for congressional authorization for U.S. military action against ISIL. In addition, Sarvis discussed topics including the national debt, foreign policy, national surveillance issues, the Affordable Care Act, transportation and energy issues, and immigration. Sarvis was accused by both Republicans and Democrats of being secretly funded by the other side.In response, Sarvis asserted that he was not a "plant." Sarvis sought to be included to debates against Warner and Gillespie, but was not invited to the debates. In the general election, Sarvis received 53,021 of the 2,181,845 votes cast, or 2.4%, about 3 times the margin separating Warner and Gillespie. Election history

<mask> (October 11, 1899 – April 20, 1964) was an American left-handed pitcher, manager and farm system official in Major League Baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1922–1944 and 1946–1950. In , <mask>'s first season at the helm of the Cardinals, the Redbirds defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers in a thrilling National League season that featured the first postseason playoff in baseball history, then bested the favored Boston Red Sox in a seven-game World Series. Early life, college career

<mask> was born October 11, 1899, in Morgan City, Louisiana, the fourth of seven children of Joseph M. and <mask>. Baseball encyclopedias give his birth date as 1900, but his son <mask>. says he subtracted a year from his age when he entered professional ball. U.S. census and military draft records confirm this. He was an outstanding football, baseball and track and field athlete as part of the Morgan City High School, Class of 1917. His father owned a general store and a lumber yard and served as mayor of Morgan City, but lost it all during a recession before World War I and moved his family to Houston, Texas where an oil boom was just beginning.<mask> earned an athletic scholarship to Rice Institute and lettered in three sports (football, baseball, track), winning the Southwest Conference championship in the broad jump and earning a berth on the All-SWC football team in 1920. He was the Owl's football captain in 1921. He was also All-SWC in each of his three years of varsity baseball (1919, 1920, 1921). He pitched a no-hitter against Baylor's Ted Lyons, later a Hall of Fame pitcher for the White Sox. <mask> left school two credits short of graduation in 1922 when Branch Rickey gave him a $2,500 bonus to sign with the

 Cardinals. The money paid off his father's debts and put his youngest brother, Sammy, through one year of college. In 1936, <mask> completed requirements for his bachelor's degree from Rice.Playing career with St. Louis Cardinals

The ,  <mask> was a versatile player, playing outfield and first base in addition to pitching. He made his debut with the Cardinals on the mound on July 8, 1922 and pitched twice in relief before he was farmed out to Syracuse, at the highest minor-league level. The next spring Rickey sent him to Houston, then to Wichita Falls, both in the Texas League, to play the outfield. When he didn't hit, he became a full-time pitcher. On September 9, 1923, in <mask>'s first start as pitcher, he pitched a complete game shutout of the Chicago Cubs, winning 3-0. In 1924 he stuck with the Cardinals, but posted a 4.61 ERA and an 8-11 record, dividing his time between starting and relieving for the sixth-place club. The next year he lowered his ERA to 4.15, pitching primarily in relief.Rickey moved into the front office and the Cardinals' star second baseman, Rogers Hornsby, became manager in 1925. He and <mask> did not get along. According to one account, <mask> told Hornsby, "I'll never play on this club as long as you're the manager." That earned him a return ticket to Syracuse in 1926, while the Cardinals won their first World Championship. In 1927 <mask> pitched once for St. Louis before he headed to Syracuse again. He won six games in a row, but on June 30 he hurt his arm in his first loss. That finished his pitching career.He appeared for the Cardinals in 129 games over all or parts of six seasons (1922–1927) — although 1924 and 1925 were his only full seasons in the majors — splitting 30

 pitching decisions with an earned run average of 4.78, and batting .223 in 157 at bats with two home runs and 13 runs batted in. Minor league manager and executive

From 1928 on, <mask> managed in the Cardinals' farm system, continuing his playing career as an outfielder through 1933. He completed his Rice degree in 1936 and coached freshman football there (during baseball's off-season) for several years. In addition, <mask> served as business manager or club president of the teams he managed, and in 1938 he supervised all of the Cardinal farm teams in the Southern and Southwestern United States. The most important of these was <mask>'s hometown Houston Buffaloes, the Cardinals’ club in the Class A1 Texas League. He took over as the Buffaloes' manager from 1939–1941 and led them to three consecutive first-place finishes and one league playoff championship, averaging 102 victories. During much of the wartime period that followed, <mask> was director of the entire Cardinals farm system, although he left that post in the midst of the 1944 season to tend to his oil, real estate and insurance businesses in Houston.Major league manager

At the war's end, and with the Cardinals in need of a manager upon Billy Southworth's departure for the Boston Braves, <mask> returned to baseball and his first Major-League managing assignment in 1946. The Cardinals were a powerhouse, having won three straight NL pennants from 1942–1944 and finished second in 1941 and 1945, but 1946 was an extremely challenging season for <mask> and his team. He had to blend returning war veterans and young players with Southworth's wartime club, and lost three key players — undefeated left-handed pitcher Max Lanier, second baseman Lou Klein and


texts: relief pitcher Fred Martin — to the marauding Mexican League. <mask> also had to deal with the Cards' implacable foes, the Dodgers of Leo Durocher, back at full strength after the war. Led by pitchers Howie Pollet and Harry Brecheen, and the hitting and leadership of future Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter, the Cardinals made up a five-game All-Star Break deficit, won 14 of their 22 regular-season games with the Dodgers, and were tied with Brooklyn for the pennant on the season's final day. The Cards then swept the Dodgers in a best-of-three playoff behind the pitching of Pollet and Murry Dickson. In the 1946 World Series, the Redbirds faced what would be the only World Series in which Ted Williams would play.The Red Sox had breezed to the American League pennant by 12 games and featured 20-game winners Dave Ferriss and Tex Hughson. Idle during the NL playoffs, Boston played an exhibition game against an AL "all-star" team in an effort to tune up for the Fall Classic. Williams was struck on the elbow by a pitch, and when the Series began, he was ineffective. Brecheen won three games, the Cardinals played inspired baseball, and in the deciding seventh game, Slaughter scored from first on a double (often mistakenly remembered as a single) by Harry Walker, a shocking feat. His was the winning run in the game and the Series. The 1946 world championship was <mask>'s high-water mark as Cardinal manager. The following season, Brooklyn upset the balance of power in the National League by boldly breaking the color line.In May 1947, the Cardinals became embroiled in a hotly denied rumor that they planned to strike, rather than permit Jackie Robinson on a Major League diamond — although <mask> was not

 implicated in the rumor. More damaging, for the next decade, the Cardinals would lag behind most of the other NL clubs in signing African-American players. Overall, the Cardinals reverted to bridesmaid status, finishing second from 1947–1949, although they trailed the Dodgers by only one game in . With the team's legendary farm system struggling without its founder — Branch Rickey, the very man who brought Robinson to Brooklyn — the Cardinals’ quarter-century of baseball dominance was coming to an end. In 1950, they fell to fifth and <mask> stepped down as manager at the end of the season. During his five years as St. Louis manager, the Cardinals won 446 games and lost 325 for a .578 winning percentage. Later life
<mask> preferred to manage his thriving Houston-area businesses rather than seek another managing job in baseball.He suffered a stroke in January 1963, and died in Houston in April of the following year at the age of 64. References

Early life
<mask> was born on a farm established by his grandfather Leak on . The nearest town was Lizton, Indiana to the south. <mask> and his siblings attended the Leak country school until 1898, when the family moved northward to the Job Hadley farm, where the children attended another country school. In both residences, <mask> pursued an interest in archery, playing with bows and arrows made by his father.By his own account, The arrows had heavy heads so that we did not need feathers to guide the arrow.... We boys shot fish with bows, using umbrella staves as arrows. I well remember that I could not understand why we had to aim under the fish to hit it. It was not until I attended high school, where I learned about refraction of light, that I understood this phenomenon. In 1900 the family moved to the Mappen farm, just west of Jamestown, Indiana. While living there, <mask> developed an interest in photography and music. An acquaintance, Stanley Hendricks, owned a photographic studio in nearby Jamestown. <mask> credits Hendricks with "having a profound influence on my life at a later date".In 1903, <mask>'s father bought a  farm north of Martinsville, Indiana. Prior to that, the family had been renters. <mask> continued to pursue his interests in music and photography, practicing guitar and accepting payment for taking pictures. <mask> completed the 8th grade in 1904, and then took 8th grade again because there was no other school to continue his education. His parents, who wanted their children to be able to attend high school, sold the farm in 1905 and moved to another farm west of Jamestown,

In 1906, <mask>'s father bought a smaller, eight-acre farm with a large house south of Jamestown, and moved his family there. By that time, the family was smaller, as two of <mask>'s brothers had moved out. <mask> continued studying at the Jamestown High School as well as studying German at home. In 1908 Stanley Hendricks had opened a clothing store in Waynetown and offered <mask> a job clerking the store, along with an opportunity to complete his high school education in Waynetown. <mask> graduated from Waynetown High School in 1909 and continued clerking full-time in the clothing store until 1910, when he accepted a teaching position in the Waynetown public schools, teaching 7th and 8th grades. During this time he learned to play the clarinet, and continued his interest in magic, suspending his teaching job to give performances as "The Hoosier Magician" in churches and opera houses in Waynetown and Hillsboro. In 1911, <mask> was offered a new teaching position at nearly double his previous salary, to teach mathematics, physics, botany, and German at Jamestown High School.Education
<mask> received his Bachelor of Arts degree in physics and mathematics from Winona College in Winona Lake, Indiana. In 1917, <mask> began pursuing his master's degree at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. His work at the university had a focus on rocket development. At Clark, <mask> met rocket scientist Robert Goddard, who was head of Clark's physics department at the time, and with whom <mask> continued working after graduation. Career

texts: the Mount Wilson Observatory with Robert Goddard, where he continued research and development on rockets intended for use during World War I. During this period, <mask> lost several fingers from his left hand and parts of fingers from his right hand due to an explosion of a rocket charge (subsequently he developed a modification to a clarinet to allow him to continue playing it). <mask> later worked for a short time demonstrating his rockets at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and afterward joined the Bureau of Standards, then afterward he developed submarine mines at the Washington Navy Yard.In particular, working alongside Robert Goddard in 1918, <mask> helped develop a man-portable recoilless antitank rocket launcher (later known as the bazooka), although the war ended before finishing development of the missile. <mask> eventually did guide this development to completion during World War II. During the 1920s, <mask> then worked for the American Piano Company (also known as Ampico), improving the company's player piano products. The inventor of the Ampico piano, Charles Fuller Stoddard, needed a physicist and mathematician to develop improvements to reproducing instruments as well as manufacturing aspects of automatic pianos. He employed <mask> in this role at a research laboratory that Ampico established in 1924 at the Chickering Hall in New York. <mask>'s work enabled the development of Ampico's dynamic recording machine and the Model 'B' player piano. Author Larry Givens wrote: Dr. <mask>'s employment with American Piano Company, from 1924 through the end of 1929, may accurately be said to represent the only period in the history of the player piano industry in which real scientific methodology was applied to the development of the player piano.Most development work in the industry had theretofore consisted of scratch-paper sketches and empirical constructing of models

 with hopes that they would function! For his achievements at Ampico, <mask> was inducted into the Automatic Musical Instruments Collector's Association Hall of Fame in 1976. When the Great Depression forced the research department to close, <mask> joined Bell Telephone Acoustical Laboratories. At Bell, he renewed his interest in the physics of archery, performing laboratory experiments and publishing several papers in archery journals. He also invented a method of making silk backing for bows. Also at Bell, <mask> developed metal tape recording, devices for analyzing speech patterns, and new methods of telephone switching. During World War II, while in his position as director at Bell Labs, <mask> headed Section H of Division 3 (Rocket Ordnance) of the National Defense Research Committee.In that position he guided rocket development in various organizations, leading to completing the development and fielding of the bazooka in 1941, which he had started with Goddard during the First World War. <mask> retired from Bell in 1950 and began working at the Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, working on guided missiles. He lived in New York as a consultant to industrial companies until his death in 1981. Awards
<mask> authored numerous papers and received several awards, including:
 U.S. Medal for Merit (1948) for rocketry developments during World War II
 National Archery Association Thompson Medal of Honor (1950)
 Automatic Musical Instruments Collector's Association Hall of Fame (1976)
 John Price Wetherill Medal from The Franklin Institute for contributions in several fields including rocketry, telephony, sound recording, and archery

<mask> (born 11 July 1966) is a Northern Irish musician and songwriter, and the lead singer with Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy. He is also the frontman for the Scottish hard rock band The Almighty, with whom he achieved chart success in the UK throughout the 1990s, although the band is currently on hiatus. <mask> has released several solo albums and performed with a variety of other bands and artists, and also fronts his own band, The Fighting Hearts, to showcase his solo material. Early life
<mask> was born in Newtownards, County Down, Northern Ireland, where he spent his formative years and got his first guitar at 14 years old. He was soon playing along to songs by various rock and country acts such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. <mask> quickly migrated to the music of more harder-edged acts such as Motörhead, MC5, Stiff Little Fingers and The Clash. He later reminisced that "Those artists gave me a voice", adding that "...when no one would listen to a fourteen year old boy, they gave me something important to say."A year after he moved with his family to Strathaven in Scotland. It was at his new school in Scotland that <mask> first met his future bandmates Stump Monroe and Floyd London. Career
<mask> got his first break in the late 1980s, when he was invited to join New Model Army as a rhythm guitarist on their The Ghost of Cain album world tour. He states that he learnt a great deal about songwriting and stagecraft during his time with the band. <mask> then left New Model Army and formed The Almighty in 1988 with guitarist Andy 'Tantrum' McCafferty and <mask>'s former school-friends, drummer Stump Monroe and

Although all four founding members had a strong background in punk rock music, The Almighty took a more heavy metal/hard rock orientated musical direction.The early 1990s saw The Almighty tour extensively throughout the UK and Europe as support to major rock acts such as Motörhead, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and Metallica. The band also later toured as headliners in their own right. Five studio albums and one live album were released by The Almighty during this time, which were well received by rock fans throughout the UK and in Europe. They were, however, unable to break through in the United States despite touring there in 1993. That same year, <mask> also performed with The Stiff Little Fingers at a gig at the Barrowlands in Glasgow. A live album showcasing that gig from March 1993, Pure Fingers, was released in 1995. In 1996, disillusioned with the direction The Almighty were taking <mask> moved to Dublin where he formed a new band called (sic) with Ciaran McGoldrick (bass) and Gary Sullivan (drums).The band's one record – I Feel So Lonely I Could Die – was only released in Japan, although a four-track EP came out in the UK. (sic) broke up in 1999 and then <mask> returned to The Almighty. The Almighty then released two further albums before again disbanding in 2001. After the second break-up of The Almighty, <mask> admits he felt like quitting performing altogether. Instead, he went on tour in 2002 as a solo artist and, taking on board his fondness for country music and Americana, he played acoustically. The tour

A follow-up album was released in January 2006, Love Many Trust Few, which was similar in style to his solo debut although slightly more hard-rock orientated. In January 2006 The Almighty reformed with their 'classic' line-up of <mask>, Stump, Floyd and Pete for benefit shows. Later in the year, they appeared as headliners at the 2006 Bulldog Bash and then undertook a 5 show tour of the UK in December 2006. During the same year, <mask> also joined the band Circus Diablo, along with Billy Duffy (of The Cult). The band recorded one album and performed at Ozzfest during 2007, but are no longer active. He has in the past toured the British Isles and throughout Europe supporting Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow and Keith Caputo.<mask> will make his acting debut in an independent film written and directed by Bobby Field. Entitled The Bridge, filming is set to begin in mid 2017. The cast features several other rock musicians including Joe Elliott, Al Jourgensen (Ministry) and Joey Santiago (The Pixies). In April 2009, <mask> released his third solo album, Belfast Confetti, continuing in the largely acoustic guitar based approach of his previous two solo albums. Metalriot.com's Morgan Y.

<mask> (3 April 1876 – 17 October 1958) was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal and the founder of the Disciples of the Lord who served as the Apostolic Chancellor from 1954 until his death. He became a cardinal in 1953. He is best known for his work in China. Costantini dedicated himself to improving the work of missionaries and believed that evangelization in China belonged to the Chinese people. His time there heralded countless successes and he was careful never to involve himself in the complex politics between the Church and the state. His cause for sainthood commenced on 24 June 2016 under Pope Francis and he has been titled as a Servant of God. Early years
<mask> was born on 3 April 1876 in Castions di Zoppola as the second of ten children to <mask> (a building contractor) and Maddalena Altan.His brother Giovanni (1880-1956) became the Bishop of La Spezia. He followed his father's trade as a mason and worked since 1887 in that trade before deciding to undergo ecclesial studies. He studied first from 1892 until 1897 at Portogruaro and then attended as a part-time student at the Academica di San Tommaso in Rome from 1897 until 1899. It was there that he obtained his doctorates in philosophical and theological studies in 1899. He was ordained to the priesthood in Portogruaro on 26 December 1899 and then did pastoral work until 1914 in Concordia where he was also elected as capitular vicar and as a chaplain for the Portogruaro hospital. In 1915 he founded the illustrated journal "Arte Cristiana" and served as its director until 1924. During World War I he served as a chaplain in the Italian Armed Forces since 12 December 1917.He served as the Concordia diocese's vicar general from 5 November 1918 to 30 April 1920 when he was made apostolic administrator for Fiume until a replacement bishop for that diocese could be found. Costantini was also friends with Agostino Gemelli and over time expressed his support for the convocation of a new ecumenical council though this would not happen until after his death. He also was close with Alcide De Gasperi and the two housed together at some stage in 1944. China

 became the Titular Bishop of Hierapolis in 1921 and he received his episcopal consecration a month after from Cardinal Pietro La Fontaine with Angelo Bartolomasi and <mask> serving as the co-consecrators. Pope Pius XI appointed Costantini as the first Apostolic Delegate to China on 12 August 1922 and also made him Titular Archbishop of Theodosiopolis in Arcadia the following month. He met with Pius XI before his departure and with Cardinal Willem Marinus van Rossum who advised Costantini to implement all dimensions of Maximum illud, Pope Benedict XV's 1919 apostolic letter on the work of missionaries. Costantini arrived in Hong Kong on 8 November 1922.He later met the Foreign Minister Gu Weijun when he visited Beijing for the first time in mid-1923. He called the first episcopal conference in Shanghai in mid-1924 and made constitutions for the missions in China. He also helped found the Fu Jen Catholic college. He identified six indigenous Chinese candidates for episcopal ordination and established several regional major seminaries. He founded the Disciples of the Lord in 1927 and he became the apostolic administrator for Harbin in 1931 though returned to his homeland at that time and then to the United States to recover from several health issues. On 28 October 1926 he was present in the Sistine Chapel when Pius XI consecrated the first six Chinese bishops after he and the bishops-elect left from Shanghai on the previous 10 September. Curial service
The archbishop left China in 1933 and entered the service of the Roman Curia where he was appointed to the Congregation for Propagation of Faith first as a consulter on 3 December 1933 and then to its leadership on 20 December 1935 as its second-in-command.He was the second-highest official of that department under Cardinal Pietro Fumasoni Biondi. In 1936 he was made an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne. Pope Pius XII created him Cardinal-Priest of Santi Nereo e Achilleo on 12 January 1953. Costantini was made a member of some of the curial departments including Oriental Churches and the Congregation for Rites. Several months later he was named as the Apostolic

He died of heart failure in Rome on 17 October 1958, three weeks after surgery, at the Villa Margherita Clinic in Via Massimo. His death followed that of Pope Pius XII and preceded the start of the conclave to choose his successor.Before his death, he told Cardinal Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, soon to be elected pope, that he supported the candidacy of Gregorio Pietro Agagianian. He was buried next to his brother Bishop Giovanni Constantini in Zoppola. In 1959 his brother's remains were relocated to La Spezia. Beatification process
The beatification process received support on 30 September 2016 from the Trivenetian Episcopal Conference who endorsed the cause which had opened some months prior. It opened under Pope Francis on 24 June 2016 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints titled him as a Servant of God and transferred the forum of investigation from Rome to Concordia. The diocesan process was inaugurated on 17 October 2017 and is ongoing. The current postulator for this cause is Father Ader Nasr and the vice-postulator is Father Simon ee-Kim chong.It is predicted that the cause's progress will be slow due to the divergent China-Vatican relations.

After the military service, he entered the Moscow State Institute of International Relations of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs and graduated with honors in 1991. He pursued a postgraduate program there, graduated with honors as well, lectured at MGIMO, and got his Ph.D. degree in International Law. Diplomatic career
<mask> <mask> started his diplomatic career in 1991 as a member of the Soviet Embassy in Finland. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he returned to Belarus and in 1992 took the position of the second secretary in the MFA. In 1993—1994 he was a foreign policy adviser to the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Stanislav Shushkevich.After the resignation of Stanislav Shushkevich from the post of the Chairman of the Supreme Council of Belarus, <mask> moved to work in the CIS Secretariat as an advisor to the Executive Secretary. Shushkevich recalled Tsepkalo as a "skillful psychologist and professional" who was always "on a verge of the right and wrong", and appreciated his help in times when Shushkevich was in disfavour. In August 1994 <mask> was appointed First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus.

According to Tsepkalo, it took him a year and a half to persuade the Belarusian authorities to establish infrastructure and a centre of attraction for Belarusian IT companies. On the backdrop of the Dot-com bubble burst, the establishment was very skeptical about the IT industry. The work on popularization of the high technologies among the public officials was later described in <mask>'s book Belarus Hi-Tech Park: 10 Years of Development. }}</ref> In July 2004 head of the Presidential Administration Ural Latypov and Tsepkalo gave an online press-conference where they described the future par's concept.The organization was established on 22 September 2005, and on 7 October 2005 <mask> received the director's post. He saw HTP as a tool to stop the IT-experts drain and an enabling environment for Belarusian start-ups. In 2009 he called the Park the "Belarusian Silicon Valley". In 2005 the authorities provided 50 hectares of land near Uručča district in Minsk. In ten years the campus grew into a scientific-research centre with offices, conference centres, apartments, hotels, shopping malls, etc. The government guaranteed a 1-year $300,000 loan with a 17% interest rate to help get it up and running, the HTP paid it back in two years. The export performance was expected to reach $300–350 mln up to 2015.A special preferential tax regime was introduced to make HTP, as Tsepkalo said, an oasis of the new economy. By 2014 138 companies were registered in the Park, its total production reached $650 mln. In the software export capacity per person, Belarus surpassed the US and India. The public image of programmist careers raised rapidly, some public schools initiated additional education courses in it. According to Tsepkalo, IT industry growth in Belarus surpassed the world average several times and the HTP net export exceeded the total of the national industrial plants. In 2015 a conflict erupted between the government and the HTP

Tsepkalo warned the authorities of the brain drain danger and referred to data that even with reduced taxes a programmer from HTP pays three times the size of an average citizen.The tax rates were locked until 2020 based on the agreement that the companies from HTP would benefit not only the IT industry but the Belarusian economics in general. Apart from the active defence of HTP residents and employees' interests, <mask> on multiple occasions supported the detained IT entrepreneurs. In 2016 he voted for the exclusion of "illegal business practices" criminal rule from the Criminal Code of Belarus, except for "medical, associated with people's lives, and financial, associated with the production of counterfeit money, the construction of various financial pyramids". According to Tsepkalo, the rule was "a relic of the Soviet-era" that undermined Belarusian developers' position on foreign markets. In his opinion, for Apple it would be much more difficult to develop if Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were born in Belarus. Aliaksandr Kaniuk, who was the Prosecutor General then, declared that he was obliged to follow the letter of the law. On 2 March 2017, <mask> was dismissed from the director's post at the HTP by presidential decree.The news came out of the blue for HTP employees. According to <mask>, his dismissal was in fact provoked by his active social position and a conflict with security officials. By early 2017 the software development industry annual turnover in Belarus reached $1 bln, such companies as Wargaming.net, Maps.me, Viber were among the HTP members. The industry growth in Belarus didn't yield to any other countries of Eastern Europe. In comparison to Ukraine's outsource industry, the Belarusian market was growing 9% faster, while the tax burden was three times higher. The total share of Belarus on the global market reached several basis points. According to media, <mask>'s dismissal had been grounded on his unwillingness to redirect the HTP

 companies towards the development of other Belarusian industries.Noting <mask>'s merits in the creation and development of the HTP, analysts paid attention to its weaknesses: selectivity of the HTP residents, prevalence of outsourcing developers, excessive bureaucratization, and officialism. After <mask> left the HTP leadership, his successors tried to belittle his achievements, and sometimes to blacken the former director. In particular, new HTP director Vsevolod Yanchevski told in a media interview that <mask> could have gone to prison even during his leadership of the HTP: charges of tax violations affected one of the companies, they were compensated and the case was closed. After the HTP Tsepkalo continued his career in international consulting on innovative enterprises. He consulted governments of the former USSR countries on the establishment of strong IT clusters and took part in a large IT project in Saudi Arabia. He contributed to the development of the Mirzo Ulugbek Innovation Center (ICSU) in Uzbekistan. In 2018 he founded Prabook.com, an online biographical library.His first active comeback to the Belarusian media was in 2018 when he commented on the intended growth of the HTP members number.
