 more than I have liked horror films".Also in the mid-1960s, <mask> began an association with Amicus Productions, another studio like Hammer which specialised in horror pictures. Most of the films <mask> made for Amicus were anthologies such as Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), Torture Garden (1968) and Tales from the Crypt (1972). He also did two films for the short-lived company Tyburn films. These were The Ghoul (1975) and Legend of the Werewolf (1975). As a director, <mask> was more than competent, and his horror films possessed an undeniable visual flair. However, he regretted that he was seldom able to move beyond genre material as a director. <mask> directed the little-seen Son of Dracula (1974), starring Harry Nilsson in the title role and Ringo Starr as Merlin the Magician.Of the films <mask> directed, one of his favorites was Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny, and Girly (1970). Mumsy... was a black comedy about an isolated, upper-class family whose relationships and behaviors came equipped with deadly consequences. The film was not very well received by mainstream critics but has gone on to become a minor cult favorite among fans. In 1985, <mask> directed The Doctor and the Devils, based on the crimes of Burke and Hare. 1980–91: Return to cinematography
In 1980 he returned to work as a director of photography this time for David Lynch in the British drama The Elephant Man (1980). The Elephant Man was principally shot at Wembley Studios in Panavision, utilizing Kodak’s Plus X stock — the only monochrome emulsion that met <mask>’ standards and was available in sufficient quantities. He earned great acclaim for his gorgeous black-and-white cinematography earning a British Academy Film Award nomination.Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times dissected <mask>' work on the film writing, "<mask> takes advantage of opportunities for high contrast, but note how more subtle elements of

So <mask> shows Merrick in varying degrees of shadow for the first half-hour — until a nurse stumbles upon him, at last fully illuminated by a skylight, and screams." <mask> gained a new-found industry and critical respect as a cinematographer. During the 1980s, collaborated with Lynch two more times with the science fiction film Dune (1984) and the drama The Straight Story (1999), which was shot on location in Iowa in 23 days. One of his favorite camera operators was Gordon Hayman. He worked on films such as The Executioner's Song (1982), Clara's Heart (1988).<mask>'s last film as director was 1987's Dark Tower (no relation to the 2004 book of the same name by Stephen King). <mask> thought it was a bad picture owing to poor special effects and had his name taken off it. His name was substituted with the name Ken Barnett. With his work on the Civil War drama Glory (1989) directed for Edward Zwick he earned his second Academy Award. David E. Williams of American Cinematographer wrote, "<mask> and director Zwick studied period stills by famed photographer Matthew Brady and others. The stark black-and-white images suggested a realistic approach devoid of filtration or sepia tones, relying instead on the credibility of the locations and production design to simulate the era. Photographically, <mask> rendered Glory simply and honestly, with much of the intimate drama revealed in the light and shadow playing upon soldiers’ faces".<mask> said of the experience “I’m a great believer in the futility of war and I believe we captured that idea quite well in several parts of Glory. That was always in the back of my mind.”

<mask> (May 19, 1860 – August 20, 1924) was an anti-tobacco activist of the late 19th and early 20th century. She was the founder of the Anti-Cigarette League of America, which had as its goal the abolition of cigarettes. Early life

<mask> was born <mask> on May 19, 1860 in Delaware, Ohio to a family involved in abolition and temperance movements. Census records show that in 1870 the family was living in Henry, Illinois. In 1873, they transferred their church membership to the Lacon First Presbyterian Church, Lacon, Illinois. In 1876 she received a certificate to teach school, one year before graduating from high school in Lacon. She attended Illinois State Normal School (now Illinois State University) in 1881 and 1882, where it is reported that she participated in smashing saloons with clubs and axes, ten years before Carrie Nation's first such actions.In 1890, <mask> changed her middle name from Jane to <mask>, to be the same as her mother's maiden name. She was working for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in LaSalle, Illinois. When visiting relatives, she would come with her car packed full of personal possessions she referred to as her "treasures." By 1893 she and her family, including her parents and fellow activist brother, <mask> <mask>, were living in Harvey, Illinois, a Chicago suburb that prohibited the sale of alcohol through property deed restrictions. In 1895, Harvey officials issued a license for a tavern, and <mask>, then managing editor of the Harvey Citizen, led a protest by temperance advocates. Though unsuccessful in stopping the licensing of taverns in Harvey, the effort caught the attention of WCTU president Frances Willard, who recommended <mask> for the position of the national superintendent of the WCTU's Department of Christian Citizenship. This led to much greater activity within the WCTU, including editing of publications and appearing before the Illinois General Assembly on behalf of the organization.Anti-Cigarette League

She founded the Chicago Anti-Cigarette League in 1899, the first group of its kind in the United States. The group quickly went nationwide and beyond, establishing chapters around the United States and Canada, and renaming itself the Anti-Cigarette League of America, which claimed as many as 300,000 members. The Anti-Cigarette league had considerable success in the early years of the 20th century, and was instrumental in having cigarette bans passed in 12 states between 1899 and 1909. <mask>'s method included publication of anti-cigarette materials, lobbying legislatures as well as personally appealing to people to stay away from cigarettes.She sponsored dances, sports leagues, and writing contests to promote the message. Her anti-smoking magazine The Boy often contained anecdotes of destructive behavior due to cigarette smoking. <mask> published magazines for children containing advice on avoiding smoking, and personally haunted less reputable neighborhoods of Chicago, calling down boys for smoking and inducing them to sign the "Clean Life Pledge." <mask> also pressured merchants not to hire persons who smoked and admonished the Chicago Cubs baseball team over their use of tobacco. She promoted chewing the root of the gentian plant to reduce the craving for tobacco, and would regularly offer it to smokers trying to quit the habit. <mask> received support from a number of prominent organizations and persons. The Salvation Army and YMCA prominently opposed smoking.Montgomery Wards of Chicago and Wanamaker's Department Stores of Philadelphia refused to hire smokers, as did several railroads. Prominent men who supported the league included Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Stanford President David Starr Jordan, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Harvey Washington Wiley, and heavyweight boxing champion John L. Sullivan. Many of these (particularly Edison, Ford, and Sullivan) were not

 completely opposed to tobacco, just to the relatively new and foreign vice of cigarettes, as opposed to the more traditional cigar or chewing tobacco. Many of the league's loudest cheerleaders were cigar makers, who saw the profit in frightening cigarette smokers away from their new habit and back to their traditional smokes. Other unexpected backers of the League included North Carolina tobacco farmers, who resented the tactics of cigarette monopoly American Tobacco Company. <mask>'s efforts to secure a smoking ban in her home state seemed to have reached a successful result in 1907, when the Illinois legislature passed a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. The law was challenged by a Chicago tobacconist, and was overturned by a judge on a seeming technicality, noting that the title of the law was to "regulate" the sale of cigarettes when, in fact, it was a prohibition.The decision was upheld by the state Supreme Court, who also noted ambiguities in the law such that it could not be clear whether or not it prohibited pure tobacco cigarettes. When World War I started, cigarettes were considered a vital war material. Even the YMCA relented, participating in collecting and distributing cigarettes for soldiers. <mask> continued her opposition, even to the point of filing lawsuits to prevent the transhipment of cigarettes through Kansas, where they were illegal. The suits did not stop the shipments, but they resulted in loss of public esteem for <mask>, who was branded as unpatriotic. Post-war

After the war, with alcohol prohibition in place, some felt (e.g. evangelist Billy Sunday) that tobacco prohibition would soon follow.This was not to be, as many men came back from the war with a cigarette smoking habit. Many women had also picked up the habit in wartime, reflected in an increase in cigarette consumption from 134 per person per year before the war to 330 after. <mask> felt that the organization she had created had lost its zeal, and began to openly criticize it, leading to her firing in 1920. In 1920, <mask> declared herself to be a candidate

 for President of the United States, on the platform of "clean morals, clean food and fearless law enforcement." She self-deprecatingly pointed out her physical resemblance to Abe Lincoln, and contended that Republican candidate (and unabashed cigarette smoker) Warren G. Harding had "cigarette face", a malady that was not well defined but readily apparent to <mask>. She only filed in the Republican primary of South Dakota and dropped out long before the election, eventually attending the convention of the Prohibition Party and supporting William Jennings Bryan. After her separation from the payroll of the Anti-Cigarette League, she joined the Anti-Cigarette League of Kansas, but was fired after only two months, again for her unwillingness to compromise.After returning to Chicago, she formed a new organization, the National Anti-Cigarette League, but was fired again after six months for employing methods too extreme for the management of the organization. Afterwards, <mask>'s personal financial situation became very strained, but she continued to verbally assault smokers and hand out press releases and gentian root. On the way home from an anti-cigarette rally in early 1924, she was struck by a streetcar. During treatment it was discovered that she had throat cancer, to which she succumbed on August 20. Numerous newspapers and even the trade publication The Tobacco Leaf noted her death in articles that were complimentary of her character. It was suggested that in her later years, <mask> was impoverished and lived on a diet of only graham crackers and milk. Recent immigrant and new found supporter, G. Henri de Ronchi, was named Director of the National Anti-Cigarette League.Press releases went out asking for contributions to the "Lucy Page Gaston Memorial Fund" to build "a monument in furthering her great principle of 'To Safeguard the health and morals of the youth, to bring about a higher calibre of individuals.'"

<mask> (November 16, 1962 – May 14, 2016) was a Canadian comics artist, writer, cartoonist, and animator who worked on the comic books Catwoman, DC: The New Frontier, The Spirit and Richard Stark's Parker: The Hunter. His work has been honoured with numerous Eisner, Harvey, and Joe Shuster Awards. Early life
<mask> was born in Toronto on November 16, 1962. <mask>'s father was a construction worker and later ran a union. <mask>'s interest in creating comics began after watching Batman starring Adam West. <mask>'s grandmother saved some of his earliest drawings, at 5 years old, of Batman and Robin in crayon on construction paper, with <mask> keeping them after her death. He discovered comics as a child, but did not become passionate about them until he was a teenager.<mask>'s desire to be an artist crystallized at 13 years old after reading a reprint of Spectacular Spider-Man #2, with <mask> purchasing markers and boards the day after reading the comic and attempting to copy John Romita's artwork. The following week, <mask> purchased Detective Comics #439, featuring the story "Night of the Stalker," and had found his calling. <mask> also recalled tracing panels of Will Eisner's The Spirit as a teenager. He attributed the ability to develop his own style as a byproduct of

 limited entertainment choices, allowing him to focus on deconstructing the comics that inspired him. His father, however, did not think that comics were a good avenue for a career. <mask> attended George Brown College, but was expelled after a year. Career
In 1985, <mask> left his family on his own for the first time in order to show his samples at DC Comics' New York City offices.The trip resulted in his first published comic book work as a professional artist in a five-page crime story in DC Comics' New Talent Showcase #19, which was coincidentally edited by "Night of the Stalker" artist Sal Amendola. Economic pressure, however, made <mask> leave comics, as he was only paid $35 per page and produced one page a week. Deciding that comics was not an economically feasible job, <mask> worked in Canada as a magazine art director, graphic and product designer for the next 15 years. He eventually established his own design studio. Animation

DC animated universe

In the early 1990s, <mask> decided to return to comics, but found little interest for his work at the major publishers. Eventually, he was hired by Warner Bros. Animation after replying to an ad for storyboard artists in The Comics Journal placed by animator Bruce Timm, with <mask> shocked that there were positions

texts: available.His successful pitch included 14 pages that eventually would be published in 2000 as Batman: Ego. Originally freelancing from Toronto, <mask> met his animation colleagues at San Diego Comic-Con and was approached about moving to Los Angeles full-time. Despite no desire to live in Los Angeles, <mask> moved there to take advantage of "an opportunity to be a part of something that was never going to come around again this way," the ability to associate with creators such as Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, and Eric Radomski. <mask> worked as a storyboard artist for four episodes of The New Batman Adventures as well as a handful of episodes of Superman: The Animated Series. In 1999, he designed and animated the opening sequence for Batman Beyond. In contrast to most cartoon openings—which adapt music to a finalized group of shots—Batman Beyond's visuals were specifically cut to suit the music, after <mask>'s successful pitch of the concept to Bruce Timm. Surprisingly, <mask> employed his personal Macintosh computer in his spare bedroom and Adobe After Effects for most of the animation, as opposed to Warner Bros.' resources.According to <mask>, the Batman Beyond team created a strong show in light of what he considered "kind of a disheartening mandate from the

 network," which wanted a show about the Batman of the future. He believed the WB Network ultimately disliked the show's level of violence and prematurely ended the show once it could be syndicated. <mask> then worked as a director for Sony Animation's Men in Black: The Series for a year. In April 2014, <mask> released a Batman Beyond animated short celebrating the 75th anniversary of Batman. Justice League: The New Frontier

In July 2006, it was announced that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics would release a series of direct-to-DVD DC Universe Animated Original Movies based on important DC comic books. Due to the adamance of DC's then-Senior Vice-president of Creative Affairs Gregory Noveck, the second film to be adapted was <mask>'s DC: The New Frontier, produced by Bruce Timm.Due to <mask>'s obligations on The Spirit, Stan Berkowitz wrote the film, while <mask> storyboarded ten percent of the film, rewrote and polished dialogue, as well as provided art direction and most of the character design. <mask> praised both Berkowitz and Timm for their ability to preserve many important character moments within the necessary shortening of the story to accommodate the film's runtime, shifting the movie's focus specifically to the Justice League characters.

 process, <mask> intervened to preserve both Wonder Woman and Lois Lane's places in the film, which had originally been eliminated due to time constraints. Without them, <mask> joked that "We might as well just rename this 'White Guys in the '50s,' because everything else is gone," describing the women as "the heart of the story." <mask> also admitted fearing for the film's outcome until he learned that his former Warner colleague David Bullock would be directing it, praising Bullock as "probably the only person in the world I would have picked ahead of myself to direct it." He also credited his strong previous relationships at Warner Bros. with his comfort on the project. DC Comics
In the late 1990s, DC Comics art director Mark Chiarello discovered <mask>'s years-old proposal for a Batman story while throwing out old pitches, and hired <mask> for what became the 2000 graphic novel Batman: Ego, marking <mask>'s permanent move from animation to comics at 37 years old.Described by <mask> as "What if Batman and Bruce Wayne were able to sit down and talk about what it is they do? ", the internal dialogue of Batman: Ego between Bruce Wayne and Batman was inspired by the 1981 film My Dinner with Andre. Catwoman

 character. They started with a four-issue serial "Trail of the Catwoman" in Detective Comics #759–762 in which private detective Slam Bradley attempts to investigate the death of Selina Kyle (a.k.a. Catwoman). According to <mask>, he and Brubaker bonded over the re-introduction of Bradley, who first appeared in 1937's Detective Comics #1 and pre-dated the super-hero era of comics. The story led into a new Catwoman title in late 2001 by Brubaker and <mask>, in which the character's costume, supporting cast, and modus operandi were all redesigned and redeveloped.<mask> would stay on the series until issue #4. In 2002, he would write and draw the Selina's Big Score prequel which detailed what had happened to the character directly before her new series. <mask> regarded Selina's Big Score as the "single thing I did that I liked the most." While developing DC: The New Frontier, <mask> also drew a short Catwoman back-up story within 2002's Just Imagine Stan Lee with Chris Bachalo creating Catwoman. An untold story concept <mask> held onto involved the return and revenge of Catwoman's betrayed ex-lover Stark in a similar manner to the lead character of the film Point Blank. DC: The New Frontier

The story, set in the 1950s, featured dozens of super-heroes and drew inspiration from the period's comic books and movies as well as Tom Wolfe's non-fiction account of the start of the U.S. space program The Right Stuff and the novels of James Ellroy due to Ellroy's skill in weaving fictional characters into real history. The major DC characters are introduced in The New Frontier in the same order that DC originally published them, even down to the correct month and year in the story's timeline. For the book's visual style, <mask> was inspired by 1950s advertising along with the works of Marvel Comics' Jack Kirby and Hanna-Barbera's Alex Toth. As <mask> formulated The New Frontier, DC's editorial board pushed major changes from <mask>'s original concept including accommodations

To be accurate regarding Jordan's role as a United States Air Force pilot, <mask> spoke with two fighter pilots as well as fellow comic writer & artist Mike Allred, who had previously been stationed in Germany while serving in the Air Force. While clarifying that he did not approve of John F. Kennedy's personal flaws, <mask> cited Kennedy's 1960 "New Frontier" speech—which both inspired the title and concluded the book—as "the first time [the promise of modern America] was ever properly

The additional material provided more backstory for The Flash and J'onn J'onnz, as well as the Suicide Squad on Dinosaur Island. <mask> admitted surprise at this deluxe edition being released so soon after the original release due to retailer demand, citing a three-year wait for an Absolute Edition of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In a 2014 interview, New Frontier co-editor Chiarello named the book as the work he was the most proud of his involvement in, calling it "as pure a comic-reading experience as any comic that's ever been published."Other projects

In 2004, <mask> also contributed to DC's artist-centric anthology project Solo. His issue (#5, Aug. 2005) featured several different stories in different styles with a framing sequence featuring Slam Bradley, and was originally intended by <mask> to be his final mainstream comic before other palatable DC projects pulled him back. In 2006, Solo #5 won an Eisner Award for "Best Single Issue." In November 2006, <mask> and writer Jeph Loeb produced a Batman/The Spirit intercompany crossover. This was followed in

At the time, <mask> considered The Spirit "the most exciting and horrifying offer I'd been made in my career," and later described himself as "incredibly reluctant to step into [Spirit creator Will] Eisner's shoes," despite it "paining him" when he was younger that he might never professionally draw the character. <mask> also expressed regret that he—while having met Will Eisner in the past—never got to consult with Eisner specifically for The Spirit; Eisner had died in 2005.Along with adding new characters such as Ginger Coffee and Hussein Hussein, <mask> revised Ellen Dolan and Ebony White, in particular discarding White's exaggerated blackface-inspired appearance and dialect. In June 2007, <mask> and J. Bone won a Joe Shuster Award for "Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Artists" for their work on Batman/The Spirit, and <mask> won "Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Cartoonist" for his work on The Spirit. Despite intending a second year of the series, <mask> announced at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con that his run on The Spirit would conclude after one year, after artist J. Bone had to step down, and an editorial reshuffle at DC moved editors Scott Dunbier and Kristy Quinn from the book, believing that resulting

As <mask> developed the plot with artist Tim Sale, he realized he had no creative hook for a Superman story until discovering that, surprisingly, none had been told regarding the character's early fear and uncertainty at the limits of his invulnerability.In June 2007, <mask> was awarded the Joe Shuster Award for "Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Writer" for Superman Confidential. Feeling more comfortable with human characters like Catwoman and Batman, <mask> nonetheless had pitched one other unrealized Superman graphic novel around 2002 in collaboration with artist and future Justice League: The New Frontier director David Bullock. In 2008, <mask> collaborated with Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray on an issue of Jonah Hex out of a desire to work with the pair, write a Western story, as well as craft a cliché-breaking tale for Hex set within Canada. <mask> playfully made fun of American conventional wisdom that Canadian weather was always a blizzard, but accepted the premise as a central plot element. <mask> was the writer/artist of Before

After originally being pitched to author the entire Before Watchmen series, <mask> was able to reduce his commitment to only two books, eventually accepting the project after successfully conceptualizing the Minutemen series. <mask> did not view Watchmen as "the Holy Grail" of comics, nor did he feel concerned about original Watchmen author Alan Moore's opinion on the Before Watchmen series, but he did initially turn down the project for two years out of concern that his work would not measure up either to the original book or its reputation within the comics industry.Vertigo

Vertigo editor Shelly Bond encouraged <mask> to produce a collaborative work. <mask> proposed Gilbert Hernandez as the writer, believing Hernandez would not be interested. Their collaboration, The Twilight Children, takes place in a Latin American fishing village and mixes elements of science fiction and magic realism. The lives of the villagers are disrupted by a sudden increase in supernatural activity and an influx of suspicious investigators. Marvel Comics

Charles Christian Cameron "<mask>" <mask>,  (8 August 1956 – 8 January 2002) was a British Army soldier. <mask> served with the British Army's Parachute Regiment and Special Air Service. He deployed during the Falklands War and as part of Operation Banner to Northern Ireland in the early 1980s, where he was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal. In 1998 he published a memoir of his life entitled Freefall, under the pseudonym "Tom Read". After being afflicted with psychiatric illness for several years, <mask> killed himself by leaping without a parachute to his death from an aeroplane during a flight over South-Eastern England. Early life
<mask> was born in Chipping Norton, in Oxfordshire, England, on 8 August 1956. He came from a family with a military tradition, being the middle son of a father who had been a fighter pilot with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, and the paternal grandson of Major <mask> (of Blaen-y-cwm).Military career
<mask> joined the British Army's Parachute Regiment as a private in 1973 at the age of 17, and served with the regiment in Northern Ireland in the mid-1970s in Operation Banner. From 1978 he spent four years with the Red Devils Display Team, participating in test-jumping, international exhibitions and competitions. At the time of his death in 2002, with nearly 30 years in military and civilian parachuting, <mask> had logged over 8,500 parachute jumps. His parachute log books show that he learnt his basic parachuting skills at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough from 1974 to 1978 prior to joining The Red Devils (Parachute Regiment) Display Team and achieved his D Rating in April 1979). <mask> subsequently applied for transfer to the Special Air Service and, after passing its aptitude trials, was attached to 22nd Special Air Service Regiment in April 1982, shortly before the Falklands War commenced. He served with 22 SAS 'B' Squadron, 7 (Air) Troop from 1982 to 1986. While with 'B' Squadron 7 Troop,

 he served with Alistair Slater, Frank Collins and Andy McNab.(In a November 2008 interview with The Daily Telegraph, McNab described <mask> as "one of my heroes"). In 1982, with other members of 'B' Squadron, 22. SAS, <mask> parachuted into the South Atlantic Ocean during the Falklands War, and took part in Operation Mikado. In late 1984 <mask> was involved with British Army counter-terrorist operations against Provisional Irish Republican Army units in Kesh, County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, for which he was later awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for "exemplary acts of bravery" in maintaining the pursuit of an IRA vehicle in a high speed chase while under almost continual fire. "One member of the pursuit team recalls the weight of fire that was poured out at them as being like 'a sheet of lead'. Despite the hail of rounds flying around him, Corporal <mask> didn't flinch or hang back for a moment. Instead, he kept his car right up on the tail of the fleeing van, remaining as close as was reasonably possible."One of the operations led to the death in action of his Special Air Service comrade Alistair Slater in a confrontation with several IRA volunteers from the Provisional IRA Derry Brigade, including Antoine Mac Giolla Bhrighde and Kieran Fleming (whose cousin William Fleming was killed in another SAS operation four days later), who were also killed in the incident which became known as the Kesh ambush (Slater being posthumously awarded the Military Medal). According to The Guardian, <mask> was initially discharged from the SAS in early 1986 for "not being a team player" after a clash with his superiors. However, following his award of the Queen's Gallantry Medal in late 1986 <mask> was invited to re-join the Regiment and from 1987-1988 he was attached to the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment's 'G' Squadron, 24 (Air) Troop.

Operation Lock's primary purpose in Southern Africa was to track down dealers in rhino horn and ivory. Linked to this was identifying their methods for illegal export, pinning corruption against those in high places who colluded with the dealers, and helping with the training and equipping of anti-poaching teams for endangered species in general and rhino in particular. Following Operation Lock, for two years <mask> worked in Washington, D.C. as bodyguard for Lebanese billionaire and former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Saad Hariri.<mask> was an experienced pilot. He held South African, American and British pilot licences as well as a commercial pilot licence which enabled him to fly both single engine fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. In July 1992 he piloted his single engine Cessna 172 Skyhawk from Washington, D.C. across the Atlantic Ocean via Greenland and Iceland back to the UK. In the early 1990s <mask> started the 'Skydive From Space' project, to skydive from the edge of space from 130,000 feet and break the highest altitude freefall record previously set by Joe Kittinger in the 1960s. He trained with Loel Guinness' High Adventure Company and Kittinger. The project was partially backed and funded by NASA. As a part of it <mask>, Harry Taylor and scientist and astronaut Karl Gordon Henize, with an ascent team, climbed the North Ridge Route of Mount Everest in late 1993 to test a NASA meter called a "tissue equivalent proportional counter" (TEPC) at different altitudes (17,000 ft, 19,000 ft and 21,000 ft), the device measuring the effects upon the human body of radiation at altitude, which would be factored in for consideration of space missions of

 a longer duration.The expedition was abandoned after the death of Karl Henize from high altitude pulmonary edema on 5 October 1993. Although the expedition was cut short, NASA received the information it had been sent out to acquire from the meter's readings logged during the ascent. In February 1994 <mask> suffered a nervous breakdown whilst living in Chamonix, France, where he without warning suddenly attempted to murder his girlfriend with a pair of scissors, stabbing her several times before being dragged off her by another male that was present. He was confined shortly afterwards by the local authorities to a French psychiatric hospital. The completion of the 'Skydive from Space' project was abandoned in consequence, and he began receiving psychiatric medical treatment. <mask> came to public prominence in 1998 when his memoir entitled Freefall was published by Little, Brown Book Group, under the pseudonym 'Tom Read', ghost written by Michael Robotham. The book detailed <mask>'s military career, the 'Skydive From Space' project, the ascent of Mount Everest, and his subsequent descent into mental illness and psychological recovery.Freefall was described by Andy McNab, one of his comrades in the British Army, as "This is Bravo Two Zero meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Read's story had me on the edge of my seat – and it also made me cry". An updated paperback and kindle edition of Freefall was published on 5 August 2021. Death
Despite periods of psychological recovery, after eight years of recurring mental illness, and being intermittently sectioned in mental hospitals, <mask> killed himself on 8 January 2002 by deliberately jumping, without a parachute, out of a private Cessna 172 light aircraft in which he was a passenger during a flight over the South-East of England, plunging  to his death. His body was subsequently found on a football pitch at the village of Fyfield in Oxfordshire. He was 45 years old. His military career

 and the manner of his death resulted in extensive media coverage of the incident.There has been conjecture that <mask>'s psychological breakdown was attributable to posttraumatic stress disorder incurred from his military career. A report in The Guardian in 2002 discussed "post-career anticlimax" and stated that "the problem of post-discharge mental collapse and suicide among former special soldiers is increasingly being recognised". <mask>'s friend Mark Lucas was quoted as having made this comment:We shouldn't be surprised by what happens when men experience what these men have experienced ... They are trained to survive in a landscape in which the dividing line between life and death is extremely thin. On 16 January 2002, <mask> was cremated at Banbury Crematorium in Oxfordshire; his ashes were subsequently scattered by his son and former colleagues during a memorial skydive in April 2002 over Northamptonshire from the Hinton Skydiving Centre. In December 2021, a memorial plaque in memory of <mask> was added to the Goose Green Memorial Bench within Aldershot Military Cemetery. Quotations
"Nothing else comes close to those first few seconds after leaving the plane, because once you take that last step there is no going back.A racing driver or a skier or climber can pull over and stop, have a rest, but with parachuting, once you cross that threshold, you have to see it through."

<mask> started playing with Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein in Sleater-Kinney in 1996, after seeing them play a show. Tucker and Brownstein then played her a new song they were working on at the time, "Dig Me Out." Her bandmates later said that she made up a beat so solid "you could practically bang your head against it." <mask> eventually became the band's drummer; she was the fourth in the band's history. Brownstein has described <mask> as "one of the most musically intelligent people I know" and "certainly the most musically gifted member of the band, the one with the largest musical lexicon and sphere from which to draw influence and reference." On July 1, 2019, Sleater-Kinney announced via social media that <mask> would be leaving the group and would not be joining their upcoming fall tour.<mask> said that the band was taking a "new direction" and that it was time for her to exit. Quasi
<mask> and Sam Coomes formed Quasi in 1993, and the band has remained active both as a duo and a trio, featuring Joanna Bolme from 2007-2011, for the past 20 years. The Jicks
Upon the dissolution of Sleater-Kinney in 2006, <mask> joined Quasi bandmate Joanna Bolme in Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. She performed on two albums, Real Emotional Trash (2008) and Mirror Traffic (2011). She left the band prior to its tour in support of the latter album. Wild Flag

texts: During his tryout, he was involved in an off-ice incident with teammate Fedor Fedorov. According to then-Canucks General Manager Brian Burke, several Moose players had gone out together when <mask> accidentally spilled Fedorov's beer. <mask> apologized and offered to buy him another beer, but Fedorov challenged him to a fight outside of the establishment which <mask> won with one punch. When he heard about the incident, Burke said, he wanted to sign <mask> the next day.<mask> went on to appear in four games with the Moose to close out the 2003–04 season, notching two assists. He remained with the Moose in 2004–05 and scored his first professional goal on the powerplay in a 3–2 shootout victory against the Cleveland Barons on November 11, 2004. <mask> finished his first full professional season with 12 goals and 39 points in 80 games. He was chosen as the AHL Rookie of the Month for March after recording two goals, 11 points and a +11 rating in 13 games and was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team after his first full professional season. His 39 points broke Kirill Koltsov's team mark of 32 for points by a defenceman, set the previous season.

During the campaign, he was given the nickname "Juice" by Moose goaltender Alex Auld, a moniker that continued into his NHL career with the Canucks.<mask> described the origin of the nickname as a "funny story that's been escalated to the point where it's bigger than it should be" and was based around him "drinking juice." <mask> entered the Canucks' 2005–06 training camp as a projected competitor to be the team's sixth defenceman. However, three days into prospects camp, he suffered a high ankle sprain after colliding into the boards with another defenceman.

He was called for a roughing penalty ten seconds into his first shift and played 10 minutes and 45 seconds total in a 4–3 shootout loss to the Kings. The following month, he notched his first NHL point, an assist to Markus Näslund, in a 3–2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on January 5, 2006. He remained with the Canucks until near the end of the season, as he was reassigned to the Moose on April 8 to make room for the return of Ed Jovanovski from injury. <mask> Toskala in a loss to the San Jose Sharks.<mask> rapidly developed into one of the Canucks' top blueliners and finished the season leading all team defencemen with 30 assists, 42 points and 134 penalty minutes, while also tallying a career-high 12 goals.

A relative unknown in his first couple of seasons in the NHL, his last name, which is pronounced phonetically (Bee-ek-sa), was frequently mispronounced by sports newscasters and hockey broadcasters such as Bob Cole and Harry Neale of Hockey Night in Canada. It has even been misspelled on scoreboards. A month into the 2007–08 season, <mask> suffered a severe calf laceration in a game against the Nashville Predators on November 1, 2007. After battling with forward Vernon Fiddler against the boards, Fiddler's skate slashed <mask> across the back of his right calf. <mask> was helped to the bench, leaving a trail of blood behind him on the ice. He ended up missing more than half the season with 47 games.Before returning to the line-up, he was assigned to the Moose for a one-game conditioning stint. <mask> managed 12 points in 34 games. He continued rehabilitating his calf in the off-season, after the Canucks failed to qualify for the playoffs, admitting that his leg had not fully recovered upon his early return. However, injury troubles continued early in 2008–09. On November 4, he was re-injured after blocking a puck off his skate against the Nashville Predators. <mask> played through the injury for several games before learning that he had suffered a bone fracture in his left foot. He returned to the line-up after missing seven games.Despite missing ten games in total, <mask> established an impressive career-high 32 assists along with 11 goals for 43 points, first among team defencemen.

In the 2009 off-season, one such

texts: trade rumour was central in a feud between general managers Mike Gillis of Vancouver and Brian Burke of the Toronto Maple Leafs. On a Leafs TV documentary on the 2009 NHL Entry Draft that aired in September 2009, a segment involves Burke speculating that the Canucks had offered <mask> to the Tampa Bay Lightning in a package that included forward Alexandre Burrows and a first-round draft-choice in exchange for Tampa Bay's second-overall selection. The documentary was immediately pulled from airing again and the Maple Leafs received a warning from the League. <mask> suffered the second serious cut to his leg in three seasons in 2009–10. During a game against the Phoenix Coyotes on December 29, 2009, he bodychecked opposing forward Petr Průcha, whose skate cut into his left leg, above the ankle.It was revealed six days later that <mask> sustained severed tendons in his ankle. He was sidelined for three-and-a-half months, missing 27 games. The injury marked the second time in three years that he missed significant time due to a skate cut on his leg. As a result, he was limited to 55 games, notching three goals and 22 points. In the last game of the regular season, he scored his first two-goal game in the NHL in a 7–3 win against the Calgary Flames on April 10, 2010. Playing the sixth-seeded Los Angeles Kings in the opening round of the 2010 playoffs, <mask> scored his first NHL post-season goal in the series' sixth and deciding game. His goal against Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick tied the score at 2–2 in the third period, en route to a 4–2 Canucks win.The Canucks were then eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks the following round for the second consecutive year. <mask> finished the playoffs with three goals and eight points in 12 games to lead team defencemen in scoring. Following the defensive acquisitions of Keith Ballard and Dan Hamhuis in the off-season, <mask> was once again involved in trade rumours. Despite being

During the 2010–11 season, <mask>'s offensive production decreased, but he was lauded by the media and Head Coach Alain Vigneault for improving his defensive game. He had been criticized at times in the past for making risk/reward plays that resulted in scoring chances for the opposing team, but his play improved to become more responsible in the defensive zone. In February 2011, he suffered a 2nd fractured bone in his foot.Playing in a game against the Minnesota Wild, <mask> sustained the injury while blocking a shot. While he finished the game and initial x-rays came back negative, a subsequent CT-scan revealed the fracture. He became the sixth Canucks defenceman injured at the time. After missing 15 games, he returned to the line-up in late-March. Playing on a shutdown defensive pairing with Dan Hamhuis, his season-ending +32 plus-minus established a personal best and ranked second in the NHL, one point behind Boston Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chára. Complementing his strong defensive play, he recorded six goals and 22 points in 66 games. With the Canucks winning the Presidents' Trophy for the first time in franchise history, the team entered the 2011 playoffs as the first seed in the West.After helping Vancouver advance past the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators in the first two rounds, <mask> scored 4 goals in the Conference Finals including a double-overtime winner in Game 5 against the San Jose Sharks to send the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1994. The goal came after fellow Canucks defenceman Alexander Edler's dump-in had bounced off a stanchion along the boards. With Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi unaware of the puck's location, <mask> took a slapshot from the blueline to win the game. Facing the Boston Bruins in the Finals, the Canucks

 were defeated in seven games. <mask> finished the playoffs with 10 points over 25 games. His five goals led all playoff defencemen, while his average ice time of 25 minutes and 40 seconds per game was first among Canucks players. It was revealed after the Canucks' elimination that several players had been playing with injuries, including <mask>, who had suffered a bruised medial collateral ligament.Having played the final year of his existing contract, <mask> addressed his pending unrestricted free agency by telling the media he was ready to re-sign for less than market value in order to remain with the Canucks. Shortly thereafter, on June 27, 2011, <mask> signed a five-year, $23 million contract extension. The deal came with a no-trade clause and was reported to be front-loaded, with <mask> making $7 million in his first year, followed by $4.5 million, $5 million, $4 million and $2.5 million annual salaries. The deal kept the popular defenceman amongst the core for another chance at winning a Stanley Cup. Anaheim Ducks
On June 30, 2015, the Vancouver Canucks traded <mask> to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Two days later, <mask> signed a two-year, $8,000,000 contract extension that ran through the 2017–18 season. The deal included a full no-movement clause.Adjusting to a new team for the first time in his career, <mask> recorded 15 points in 71 games. In his second season with the Ducks, <mask> continued to help develop and mentor the young defence core. Upon winning the Pacific Division, the Ducks swept the Calgary Flames in the first round of the playoffs. <mask> finished the series with four assists in four games. Following a tear to his medial collateral ligament (MCL) in the second round, he returned in the Conference Finals against the Nashville Predators who defeated the Ducks in six games. Playing style

 With the Canucks, he was paired with Willie Mitchell and Dan Hamhuis.Regularly jumping into the rush, he led the Canucks' defencemen in scoring in 2006–07 and 2008–09. His play was aggressive and physical. He earned a reputation as a fighter early in his career in the AHL. Though he was a very strong two-way defender first and foremost, <mask> was also known as a very rugged defender who would drop his gloves at pretty much any time. He became known around the league for performing a variation of a one punch knockout style superman punch on skates, which he executed successfully a few times during his NHL career. At one point he was listed online as an undefeated fighter with well over 30 NHL fights as reported by Scott Oake of Hockey Night in Canada. He was praised throughout his career for his leadership qualities by coaches, NHL executives and by his close teammates including the Sedin twins.Henrik at the Sedin's retirement ceremony in Vancouver called <mask> a "Great leader, a great teammate". <mask> along with teammates Ryan Kesler and Alexandre Burrows were known as three of the most fierce competitors of their time in the NHL – all three players were a huge driving force behind the Canucks' 2011 Stanley Cup Finals run and in their two Presidents' Trophy-winning seasons. The three were commonly known to be among the leagues most frustrating players to play against. After joining Hockey Night in Canada in 2020, he was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Sports Analysis or Commentary at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021. Personal life
<mask> was born in Grimsby, Ontario, on June 16, 1981, to <mask> and Angela Lombardo. He has two brothers, Marty and Bryan, and two stepsisters, Terri Lynn and Jennifer.

During <mask>'s tenure with both the Manitoba Moose and Vancouver Canucks, he became close friends with teammate Rick Rypien, who committed suicide in August 2011 after years of clinical depression. <mask> was the first Canucks teammate that Rypien confided in regarding his mental health. When Rypien took his first personal leave of absence from the Canucks in the 2008–09 NHL season, <mask> took him into his home to live with his family. Having a close relationship with Rypien, <mask> was involved in many of the ceremonies following his death, and helped create Hockey Talks to honour Rypien's legacy. He was a pallbearer at his funeral in Alberta and he later presented Rypien's family with one of the forward's game-worn Canucks jerseys during the team's pre-game ceremony in Rypien's honour in October 2011.<mask> and his wife, Katie, have two children, a son and daughter. The family resides in Newport Beach, California.

<mask>, D.D. (1549 at Blainscough Hall, near Wigan, Lancashire – 1627 at Biddulph Hall, Staffordshire) was an English Catholic priest and third President of Douai College. Life
A member of an ancient and wealthy family, he studied at Brasenose College, Oxford (1566–70), where he graduated in arts (17 October 1570). In February 1573, he went to Douai College to study theology. He visited England (November 1575), to induce his father, who was an occasional conformist, to remove into foreign parts. After his ordination (6 April 1577), he remained teaching the Roman catechism at Douai till September, 1578, and proceeded B. D. at the University of Douai (January 1579). After ten months in England, he returned to Reims, accompanied William Allen to Rome, and set out again for England, January 1580.He laboured assiduously and successfully, being especially remembered for his zeal in instructing the ignorant poor. In February 1584, when his four nephews, whom he was conveying to Reims, were seized at Great Sankey near Warrington, he managed to escape detection, and to elude the vigilance of his enemies until July, when he was betrayed by a young man whom he had befriended, and seized at his lodgings in Islington. The Lord Treasurer committed him to the Tower of London, where he was confined in the "pit" for over two months. In January 1585, with twenty other priests, he was put aboard ship by the queen's warrant of perpetual banishment, and conveyed to Normandy. For the next two years he expounded Holy Scripture at Reims. Sir William Stanley turned traitor in January 1587, and with


texts: his Irish regiment entered the Spanish service; on 27 April <mask> became their chaplain at Deventer. He was recalled to Reims on 27 January 1589, to undertake the offices of vice-president and procurator, but resumed his post as chaplain to the regiment at Brussels in July, 1591.He was honoured with the doctorate of divinity in 1588 in the Jesuit college at the University of Trier. On the death of Dr. Richard Barret (30 May 1599) <mask> was appointed President of Douai College (28 June), by the cardinal protector, chiefly through the influence of Robert Persons, the nominee of the secular clergy being rejected. The task to which he was set was a difficult one, and he appears to have lacked strength of character to cope with it. Since the return of the college from Reims in 1593 its embarrassments had continually increased, and this condition reacted upon the discipline. <mask> himself had in 1596 addressed a memorial to the cardinal protector on the state of the Roman College, in which he calls attention to the decline of Douai, which he ascribes to the innovations of Dr. Barrett. His presidency accordingly began with a pontifical visitation of the college, as a result of which new constitutions were drawn up in Rome. It was enacted that not more than sixty persons be supported on the foundation, that no student be admitted unless fitted to begin rhetoric, and that all students be required to take oath to receive sacred orders in due season.The protector also agreed to <mask>'s proposal that a Jesuit be appointed ordinary confessor to the students.

The clergy saw the influence of the Jesuits in every action of the president, and feared a design to hand over the college to the Society of Jesus. Confidence was further shaken by <mask>'s dismissal of the existing professors, and their replacement by young men who explained their author instead of lecturing. Moreover, priests were hurried to the Mission without adequate preparation or training. The climax was reached after the death of Father Persons (April 1610) when <mask> became reconciled to the archpriest, to whom he offered his resignation.This was declined, but a conference between three representatives of each met at Douai (May 1612).

While in Rome he became a member of the Oratory. In 1616 he returned to the English Mission and worked in London and in Staffordshire.
