On 10 August 2015, a mob armed with lathis, swagger sticks and cricket bats attacked and badly vandalized a liquor shop located in the Kashmere Gate area of old Delhi. CCTV footage recorded shows <mask> leading the attack and vandalising the shop along with her supporters. The footage shows her reaching straight for the shop counter and violently pushing and spilling and throwing away the items on the counter. Following this, her supporters also vandalised the shop.According to reports, this happened because the shopkeeper was a BJP supporter and had objected to the AAP defacing his shop windows with posters eulogising <mask> and her party. Representing National Commission for Women on 16 July 2012, as one of the member of the enquiry team of 2012 Guwahati molestation case, Lamba met the victim of a Guwahati molestation case, held a press-conference and revealed the victim's identity. The 'tip-off' made local media houses work overtime to find the victim's real identity. Some TV channels interviewed the victim's neighbours to come to the conclusion that the girl's name was not what she was forced to say by the channel that recorded her molestation and near-stripping. Such acts of Lamba's were widely criticised. Following this, she was removed from the fact-finding committee of NCW. Social work

<mask> (3 September 1847 – 29 October 1885) was an English Anglican missionary and martyr. He was the first Anglican bishop of East Africa. Early life
<mask> was born on 3 September 1847 at Hurstpierpoint in Sussex, England, about eight miles from Brighton, where his father ran a warehouse, and was part of the family that ran Hanningtons department stores. His father, <mask>, had recently acquired the property known as St George's. During his childhood, <mask> was a collector and he blew off his thumb with black powder. For <mask>'s early education a tutor had been engaged, but when he was thirteen he was sent to the Temple School at Brighton, where he remained for the next two-and-a-half years, although he was an indifferent student. <mask> left school at fifteen to work in his father's Brighton counting house.He obtained a commission in the 1st Sussex Artillery Volunteer Corps in 1864 and rose to the rank of major. Under his training and supervision, his detachment won prizes at the annual camp competitions. Ministry

The family were Congregationalists but joined the Church of England in 1867. In that year the chapel which <mask>'s father had built in the grounds of his property in 1852 was licensed for Anglican services. At twenty-one, <mask> decided to pursue a clerical career, and entered university at St Mary Hall, Oxford; he was President of the Red Club and captain of the St Mary Hall Boat. In 1872, the death of his mother spurred a change in <mask>'s life; he was awarded his BA, and on 1 March 1874 was made a deacon (by Frederick Temple, Bishop of Exeter, at Exeter Cathedral), and took a

Having been ordained priest, in 1875 <mask> became curate-in-charge at St George's, Hurstpierpoint where he stayed until volunteering for missionary work in East Africa in 1882.He had by then been married for five years. Around 1882, <mask> heard of the murder of two missionaries on the shores of Lake Victoria. This led to him offering himself to the Church Missionary Society (CMS) and he left England on 17 May, setting sail for Zanzibar on 29 June, as the head of a party of six missionaries. Crippled by fever and dysentery, <mask> was forced to return to England in 1883. On 24 June 1884 (St John the Baptist's Day), having recovered, <mask> was ordained and consecrated a bishop by Edward White Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Mary-at-Lambeth, to serve the See of Eastern Equatorial Africa, and in January 1885, at age thirty-seven,  <mask> again departed for Africa. His diocese included missions of the CMS at the coast and inland in Buganda. While there <mask> collected a number of shells which were described by E. A. Smith in two papers in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History.After arriving at Freretown, near Mombasa, in Kenya, <mask> determined to pioneer a shorter and healthier highland road to Buganda, using Christian porters and undercutting the Arab slave route to the south. He was oblivious to the political consequences of traversing Busoga, a strategically sensitive area for the Buganda state. The sudden intrusion of German imperialism at the coast made the Kabaka of Buganda Mwanga II, even more suspicious of <mask>'s motives. An oracle

 (emmandwa) had said that Buganda's conqueror would come from the east. Mwanga forbade <mask> from continuing through Busoga and sent boats to take him to Sukumaland, but <mask> refused. Together with his team, he safely reached a spot near Lake Victoria on 21 October, but, under the orders of Mwanga II of Buganda, the missionaries were imprisoned in Busoga by Basoga chiefs. After eight days of captivity, by order from Mwanga II, <mask>'s porters were killed, and on 29 October 1885, <mask> himself was speared in both sides.As he died, his alleged last words to the soldiers who killed him were: "Go, tell Mwanga I have purchased the road to Uganda with my blood." Alexander William Mackay, who had first-hand knowledge of events from the Buganda side, in letters dated 2 May 1886, wrote:

"Had the matter of the Busoga route been the real point at issue, the king needed only to adopt our advice at the time, and request the Bishop to return to the neighbourhood of Kwa Sundu in Kavirondo, whither the boat had gone for him. But he was determined on shedding the blood of one whom he believed was a European of higher standing than merely an ordeinary missionary or traveler, as 'a challenge to the whole of Europe' as he said himself ... this case was absolutely unprovoked and unjustifiable on any ground, the extent of the crime being much increased by the fact that our brethren were coming after the King's own repeated invitation, although they themselves were, perhaps, not aware of that fact. Further we gave the King perfectly to understand who they were, and why they came via the east, viz., to avoid the

Widespread persecution of Christians followed, many being killed or sold to Arab slavers. Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe, a Roman Catholic and an official at Mwanga's court, rebuked the king for the deed, and was beheaded for it. <mask> and his companions were among the first Martyrs of Uganda. The location of <mask>'s remains was divulged to Bishop Alfred Tucker in 1892 and on 31 December 1892, his remains were reburied at Namirembe.He is commemorated by the Hannington memorial chapel in Namirembe Cathedral, Kampala, Uganda. <mask>'s feast day (Lesser Festival) in the Church of England is 29 October. A dedication stone, erected in his memory along with the Bishop Hannington Memorial Church, West Blatchington, Hove, England in 1938, bears the inscription "Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy".

<mask> or <mask> (Amsterdam, baptized on 9 February 1650 – Delft, buried on 8 May 1693) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and engraver. He is mainly known for his portraits and genre pieces of elegant couples in interiors and, to a lesser extent, for his religious and mythological compositions. He was a gifted mezzotint artist. Trained in Amsterdam, <mask> spent his active professional career in Delft where he had access to powerful patrons. Life

<mask> was the son of Benjamin Jacobsz, a locksmith, and Maria Tonnes. He was baptized in the Nieuwezijds Kapel in Amsterdam on 9 February 1659. The early artist biographer Arnold Houbraken recounts that <mask> was a child prodigy, who became a self-taught artist after hurting himself while playing with darts as a child.As the injury on his heel or ankle did not heal well he was bedridden for years. To while away the time, he started to copy prints. The artist <mask> van Bronckhorst gave him high-quality prints to copy. Thus started his artistic career according to Houbraken. Subsequently <mask> studied for about half a year with <mask> Lievens (1644–1680), the son of the prominent painter <mask>. In 1672, the so-called rampjaar (disaster year), which was marked by a large-scale invasion of the Dutch Republic by French and other armies, <mask> moved from Amsterdam to Delft. Here he married Judith Voorheul in October 1672.He became a member of the Guild of St. Luke of Delft in 1673 and served as its dean between 1678 and 1688. <mask> was very successful and enjoyed the patronage of important patrons in Delft as well as the court in the Hague. As a portrait painter his only competitor in Delft was Cornelis de Man. His sons Nikolaas <mask> (Delft, 1673 –

General

<mask> was a versatile artist who worked as a painter, draughtsman and engraver. His subject matter was mainly portraits and genre scenes. He was also a gifted mezzotint artist, who according Houbraken, discovered the technique on his own. Portrait painting
Verkolje was a prolific portrait artist who created portrait paintings, drawings, and prints.In his portrait work Verkolje was representative of the style then current in The Hague and Amsterdam rather than that in vogue in Delft. Verkolje was much in demand as a portraitist and was able to fetch high prices for his portraits. His sitters were a who's who of Delft society of his time: the famous scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (whom he portrayed on canvas and in mezzotint), the prominent lawyer and bailiff Johan de la Faille and his wife (both works are in the Wadsworth Atheneum), the vicar Cornelius van Aken, the painter <mask> van Asch, and the burgomaster and historian Dirk van Bleiswijk. Verkolje also created portrait prints of international celebrities such as Hortense Mancini, Duchess of Mazarin, King James II of England, Willem III, Prince of Orange, and his wife, Mary Stuart. Of these celebrity subjects, only the Delft naturalist Antonie van

texts:
 Leeuwenhoek was portrayed by Verkolje in a painting (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) as well as in a print. His other portraits of famous persons were mezzotint engravings after the work of other artists, such as Peter Lely, Willem Wissing and Godfrey Kneller. Most of Verkolje's known portrait drawings were made as preparation for his paintings.These drawings focused either on particular facial features and expressions or on the whole composition. Genre art
At the time Verkolje was active in Delft, Gerard ter Borch was the leading genre painter working in the city. Ter Borch was known for his meticulous working method which resulted in a very low output. Like other genre painters such as Gabriel Metsu and Frans van Mieris, Verkolje took advantage of the limited supply of Ter Borch genre paintings in the market by creating works that imitated the style of, or took their inspiration from, ter Borch. Verkolje's genre paintings typically depict elegant figures in interiors engaged in music making or the playing of games. Often the protagonists are couples engaged in courtship. A dog is always present.In The messenger (1674, the Mauritshuis) Verkolje reprises the theme of the delivery of a letter, which had been treated previously by other Delft artists such as Vermeer. The Messenger shows a young couple playing backgammon in an elegant room. They have been interrupted by a regimental messenger who has entered the room to deliver a letter likely calling the young man to duty. The young couple are clearly startled by the arrival of the messenger just as is the dog in the room. The openly emotional reaction of the participants in the scene contrasts with that of the persons in Vermeer's works when receiving

 letters. Vermeer's figures react in a more contemplative rather than an emotional manner. Verkolje also tended to add a greater naturalness to this figures than Vermeer.The portraits of Verkolje often doubled as genre pieces in their extensive detail and the addition of emblematic and symbolic elements. This is clear in the double Distinguished Gentleman and Lady in an Interior (at Hoogsteder & Hoogsteder). The crossed trunks of the trees visible outside on the left and their intertwined crowns possible symbolise the commitment to each other of the sitters while the fountain is likely an allegory of the source of life or a reference to fertility. Prints
<mask> started engraving in 1670. The mezzotint work of <mask> shows the influence of the smoother tone developed by Abraham Blooteling. Various of his prints were made after portraits by Lely and Wissing and were printed in England even though Verkolje likely never visited England. In addition to his portrait prints, Verkolje also produced prints of mythological scenes and genre scenes, some after Jacob Ochtervelt and Hendrick Terbrugghen.A well-known mezzotint work of Verkolje is the Venus and Adonis. It was made after a painting by Verkolje the whereabouts of which is now unknown. In the work Verkolje demonstrates his mastery of the mezzotint technique for which he was much admired in his time. He was able to render the textures of the fabrics in a very realistic manner and to visualise the softness of the clouds. References

<mask> (12 December 1946 – 15 May 2015)  was a racing driver from Italy who participated in seven Formula One Grands Prix between 1975 and 1977, for the Williams and Shadow teams. He began in Formula Three while working with Pirelli before progressing to Formula One. He later raced in sports cars before returning to work with Pirelli, running a driving school. He is the only driver from the province of Trentino to have competed in Formula One. Career

Formula Three
The son of a miner, <mask> was born in Ziano di Fiemme, Trentino, near the Austrian border. He became an engineer with Pirelli, and began his motor racing career in 1972, driving a Tecno for Scuderia Mirabella in Italian Formula Three. He debuted at Monza on 3 September, where he failed to qualify for the final.He competed more regularly the following year, initially with a Brabham BT38C, and then with a Quasar, finishing 12th at Vallelunga, before finishing 13th at Casale with the Brabham. He then managed 10th at Misano driving a Branca, before his best result of the season, sixth place at Varano in a Brabham BT35. In 1974, he campaigned a GRD 374 for Scuderia Mirabella, with Giorgio Francia as his team-mate. With this car he began to achieve better results, starting with sixth place at Casale and fifth at Monza beating Francia, before fifth place at Monaco driving a March 743. Back in the GRD, he managed 13th at the Nürburgring in a race won by Francia, followed by fifth again at Casale and sixth at Monza. He finished tenth in the championship. For 1975, Zorzi helped to develop a Formula Three engine for Lancia, built by the Repetto company.This was fitted to his GRD 374, replacing the original Ford engine, and with the GRD-Lancia he finished third at Varano, his first podium finish. As he was still without a win in the Italian category, it was a surprise when he won the European Formula Three Monaco Grand Prix support race in May, having qualified second to Larry

 Perkins and won heat two by eleven seconds. In a chaotic final, he gained two places when Tony Brise and Alex Ribeiro collided in front of him, and finished second on the track, 21 seconds behind Conny Andersson. When Andersson was penalised a minute for a jump start, <mask> inherited the victory, just 0.89 seconds ahead of the Safir of Patrick Nève. Back in the Italian championship, he subsequently finished seventh at Vallelunga, and sixth at Mugello. In the European category, he achieved two sixth places at the Nürburgring and the Ring Djursland in Denmark. But his Monaco success had provided the impetus for a step towards Formula One before the end of the 1975 season.Formula One: Williams
Later in 1975, <mask> arranged a deal with Frank Williams to drive one of his cars at the Italian Grand Prix. The Williams team was struggling at this time, and were using pay drivers to race the ageing FW03 which had failed to score any points so far that season. He qualified the car 22nd of the 28 entrants, just 0.71 seconds slower than his team-mate Jacques Laffite in the newer FW04. Running as high as 12th in the race, he was delayed by a puncture and finished 14th and last, six laps adrift of winner Clay Regazzoni. This was the last race for the car before Williams sold it to Loris Kessel. The arrangement continued at the first race of 1976, the Brazilian Grand Prix, although the team was now 60% owned by Walter Wolf and renamed Wolf-Williams. <mask> drove the FW04 while new team-mate Jacky Ickx drove the new FW05.<mask> qualified 17th of the 22 entrants, outqualifying 19th placed Ickx. He finished ninth of 14 classified finishers, just 2.44 seconds behind Ickx. However, his sponsorship money had run out and his time with Williams came to an end as he was replaced by Michel Leclère. For the rest of 1976, <mask> returned to Formula Three with the Modus team, and also raced sports cars. Among other results in the 1976 World Championship

Ambrosio demanded an Italian driver as part of the agreement for his financial support, and <mask> was chosen for this reason rather than through the choice of the team.At the first race in Argentina, driving the team's older DN5B, he qualified last of the 21 entrants, and climbed to 18th at the start before retiring on lap three with a gearbox failure. At the next race in Brazil, <mask> qualified 18th and in a race of attrition, finished sixth of the seven finishers, winning his only World Championship point in only his fourth Grand Prix. Pryce had been running second in the race behind eventual winner Carlos Reutemann, when his engine failed with seven laps remaining. However, tragedy struck in the following race in South Africa. Driving the team's new DN8, <mask> qualified 20th, and was running near the back of the field when he pulled off the track with a fuel leak caused by a broken metering unit. As he tried to detach the oxygen pipe from his helmet before getting out of the car, a fire erupted at the rear. Zorzi quickly got out of the car and activated his on-board fire extinguisher which doused the flames.Several seconds later, although the fire was out, two marshals ran across the track with hand-held fire extinguishers. Crossing the track just beyond a blind brow, the first marshal narrowly avoided the passing cars but the second marshal, Frederick Jansen Van Vuuren, was struck and killed by the car of Zorzi's teammate Pryce. Van Vuuren's fire extinguisher struck Pryce on his helmet, causing fatal head and neck injuries. The British press and some in the Shadow team blamed <mask> for the tragedy, suggesting his agitation in the cockpit trying to

 remove his oxygen pipe prompted the marshals to cross the track, believing Zorzi needed assistance. Pryce was replaced by future World Champion Alan Jones, who outperformed <mask> at the following two races. At Long Beach, Zorzi qualified 20th and retired with a gearbox failure, and in Spain he qualified 24th and retired with an engine failure. When <mask> arrived in Monaco for the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix, he found that his car had Riccardo Patrese's name on it, and that he had been replaced by Patrese, another Ambrosio protege, without being informed.Later career
After his Formula One career was over, <mask> occasionally raced in sports cars, mainly in Italy. He was a regular entrant to the 1000 km Monza race, winning it in 1979 in a Lola T286 with Marco Capoferri. The following year, he qualified on pole position in the Capoferri-Ford he shared with Claudio Francisci, also claiming fastest lap before the car retired. His last appearance in the event came in 1985, when the Porsche 956 he shared with Oscar Larrauri and Massimo Sigala for Brun Motorsport finished sixth. <mask> also had a one-off appearance in the Aurora AFX F1 championship in 1980, driving an Arrows A1 for Charles Clowes Racing in the Monza Lottery GP. He qualified eighth but retired after a collision. After retiring from racing, he returned to work for Pirelli, running a driving school for the company at Binetto in southern Italy.<mask> died on 15 May 2015, aged 68, in hospital in Magenta, Lombardy after a long illness. His funeral took place on 18 May in his birthplace of Ziano. He was survived by a son, Andrea. Racing record

In 1996 <mask> returned to Egypt to be an emeritus professor at Dar Al-Ulom College where he was active in the linguistic field in many ways until his death. He died on 11 October 2011 in Cairo.Major contributions to Arabic linguistics

After studying under Firth as part of the London School, <mask> became the first linguist to study the phonetics and the phonology systems of Arabic based on modern linguistic methods. This work resulted in his influential text, Language Research Methods. <mask> was also the first Arab linguist to study the root morphology of Arabic words based on the main sounds of a given word rather than the gerund or the past tense form which had been the tradition of his predecessors. <mask> also established a theory on the Arabic dictionary based on vocabulary correlations. He was the first to categorize the Arabic parts of speech into seven parts rather than three which is the common traditional system of Arabic. Basically he used the function of the entities within the context to establish this system in his book, Arabic: its Meaning and Syntax. <mask> was also the first linguist who decided to analyze the Arabic verb tense in two dimensions: syntactic tense and contextual tense, evidence of Firth's influence on <mask>'s work.Scholarship

Wealth and philanthropy
In 1986, to honor his father, he founded the Jerome Levy Economics Institute, now the Levy Institute, at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. The Levy Institute has established itself as a sponsor of extensive work in Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics. In the last year of his life, <mask> commuted up the Hudson River from New York City to teach a class at the Levy Institute, "Contemporary Developments in Finance", in which he focused on his belief that investing is as much a psychological as it is an economic act. When he died in his late seventies, <mask> was estimated to be worth a billion dollars, though his personal wealth might have been substantially higher were it not for his philanthropic interests. <mask>'s philanthropy began in the 1950s,

His donations grew steadily, and during his lifetime, <mask> and his wife, Shelby White, gave away more than $200 million, becoming well known for their philanthropic efforts.They donated $20 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the construction of the <mask> Levy and Shelby White Court, a gallery hosting the largest selection of Hellenistic and Roman artwork ever exhibited at that museum. The gallery included a number of pieces from <mask> and White's substantial art collection, which also includes art from the Near East. Between 1997 and 2003, <mask> and White donated nearly $5 million to 107 scholars for the publication of archaeological excavations that had been completed but never published. The projects funded by their program, the Shelby White-<mask> Levy Program for Archaeological Publications, include excavations at some of the highest profile archaeological sites throughout Greece and the Middle East, including Knossos, Aphrodisias, Kition, Ras Shamra, Sarepta, Mt. Gerizim, Ekron, Lachish, Megiddo, Jerusalem, Pella, Jerash, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Assur, Nineveh, Nuzi, and Tepe Hissar. They also funded the <mask> Levy Expedition at Ashkelon, Israel; created the Leon Levy Visitor Center at the New York Botanical Garden; and financed the Shelby White and Leon Levy Center for Mind Brain and Behavior at Rockefeller University, where <mask> was a member of the Board. <mask> also served as President of the Board of the Institute for Advanced Study, Vice Chairman of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, and was a director of Bard College, and many other not-for-profit boards.The Leon Levy

 Foundation and Shelby White, as Chairman of the Friends of the Israel Antiquities Authority, provided the funds for conserving the extraordinarily well-preserved Lod Mosaic and established the Shelby White and Leon Levy Lod Mosaic Archaeological Center, which will house the mosaic once it returns from its 2010-2016 international exhibition tour. After his death in 2003, <mask>'s philanthropy was continued through the Leon Levy Foundation, and one of its earliest initiatives was the fulfillment of that plan. In spring, 2006, the Leon Levy Foundation pledged $200 million to New York University for the creation of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, a center for advanced scholarly research and graduate education, intended to cultivate cross-cultural study of the ancient world, from the western Mediterranean to China. Antiquities controversy
The donation created controversy among some academics who believe that collectors of antiquities encourage the looting of ancient sites. In their 2006 book The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities – From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums, Peter Watson and Cecelia Todeschini lay out the dynamics of the illegal trade in antiquities and use <mask> and Shelby White as an example of collectors whose purchases may have led to unethical dealing in artifacts. One NYU professor, Randall White, resigned from NYU's existing Center for Ancient Studies – which is independent of the new Institute for the Study of the Ancient World – saying that he opposed the acceptance of a donation from a foundation whose benefactor had sometimes been associated with such questionable practices and trafficking. Several scholars outside NYU, notably from Bryn Mawr College, the University

 of Pennsylvania and the University of Cincinnati, also commented negatively on NYU's acceptance of the gift.Many other scholars, however, supported the institute and the gift. Professor James McCredie, of the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU's graduate teaching and advanced research center for art history, wrote a letter to Provost David McLaughlin endorsing the project. It was signed by IFA's seven professors of ancient art and architecture, and the controversy soon died out. Legacy and awards
In 2008, he was inducted into Institutional Investors Alpha's Hedge Fund Manager Hall of Fame along with Alfred Jones, Bruce Kovner, David Swensen, George Soros, Jack Nash, James Simons, Julian Roberston, Kenneth Griffin, Louis Bacon, Michael Steinhardt, Paul Tudor Jones, Seth Klarman and Steven A. Cohen. Publications and works
In 2002, <mask> published a memoir, written with Eugene Linden, called The Mind of Wall Street: A Legendary Financier on the Perils of Greed and the Mysteries of the Market (Perseus Book Group). See also

<mask> (June 14, 1956 – January 16, 2021) was an American journalist who was the senior science writer for Stat, a publication from The Boston Globe that covers stories related to the life sciences. She regularly contributed articles to the Yale Scientific Magazine while at University. She published recurring columns and feature articles in several mainstream publications on a wide variety of scientific topics. <mask> was also an author and spoke at professional and community organizations. Her topics included the neuroplasticity of the brain, issues affecting science journalism, and education. She appeared on radio and television to discuss topics covered in her articles and books. <mask> attracted both praise and criticism as a writer.Early life
<mask> was born <mask> <mask>, on June 14, 1956 in Englewood, New Jersey, to Shirley (née Wintner) and John J<mask> Jr. Her father was a stockbroker while her mother was a homemaker. She grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, where she graduated from high school as a valedictorian. She graduated from Yale University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in combined sciences. Career
<mask> started her career as a journalist during her undergraduate studies, where she was a contributing reporter for Yale Scientific Magazine. She began work with Newsweek upon graduation in 1977, and by October 1984 she had already been named as a recipient of The Newspaper Guild of New York's Page One Award in the category of science reporting in magazines for the Newsweek article "How the Brain Works". <mask>'s tenure with Newsweek established her as a well-known science communicator.She received accolades from the Religion Communicators Council for the 1998 article "Science Finds God". Her 2002 article "The Mystery of Schizophrenia" received honors

In March 2002, after 25 years at Newsweek, <mask> joined The Wall Street Journal to write its weekly science column called Science Journal. Only three months later, "So Much for Destiny: Even Thoughts Can Turn Genes `On' and `Off", earned <mask> a Front Page Award for Best Column/Editorial from the Newswomen's Club of New York. More awards followed for her reporting on a wide variety of topics related to scientific research, including an honorary doctorate of humane letters degree from the University of North Carolina. In 2007, <mask> returned to writing an award-winning science column at Newsweek.In 2010 Newsweek formed an alliance with The Daily Beast, and <mask>'s byline often appeared on this site as well. From 2012 until 2015 she worked as senior health and science editor at Reuters. In August 2015, the first article appeared under the masthead of the Boston Globe's new science publication Stat with <mask> as a member of the inaugural staff. Books

 Transform Ourselves was published in 2007. This book begins with a description of the visit by scientists from the Mind and Life Institute to the northern Indian town of McLeod Ganj—the home of the 14th Dalai Lama in exile.The book then explores the ability of various therapeutic treatments to change the functioning of the neural pathways of the brain and the relationship between this research and the traditional meditative practices of Buddhism. In 2012 <mask> again served as a co-author, this time with Richard Davidson, for The Emotional Life of Your Brain: How its Unique Patterns Affect the Way You Think, Feel, and Live — and How You Can Change Them. The premise of this book is that each person has an individual "Emotional Style". Davidson uses six parameters to determine this Emotional Style: Resilience, Outlook, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Context, and Attention. Criticism
"Why Doctors Hate Science", published in Newsweek in 2009, prompted many critical responses. David Gorski, writing under his pen name "Orac", took issue with <mask>'s characterization of medical practitioners as ignoring basic medical science. One example used by <mask> was that of women continuing to receive pap tests after having had total hysterectomies.Gorski looked into this claim, and found that the subject of <mask>'s source for this claim was full hysterectomies and hysterectomies for benign conditions of the uterus. Ongoing Pap smears are still indicated for women who have had partial hysterectomies, or who have suffered uterine cancer. "<mask> may indeed have a point that too many pap smears are still done after hysterectomy, by simplifying and mocking she completely undermined her point–not to mention showed that she doesn't understand the issues involved.

texts: that, or she does understand them but decided to score cheap points against physicians instead of adding three words after "hysterectomy": "for benign disease." ... At the very least, <mask> should have acknowledged that her blanket statement is more than a bit over-the-top." This and similar criticism from other defenders of the medical community prompted <mask> to write a follow-up article entitled "Why Psychologists Reject Science", in which she referred to the previous article as one in which she was "asking, facetiously" why doctors hated science, but then went on to explain that, "The problem is even worse in psychology." This prompted a fresh wave of criticism, such as that expressed by Leslie Becker-Phelps in Psychology Today when she referred to <mask>'s article as "alarmingly misleading".Becker-Phelps stressed the intense educational requirements of the field and stated that, "the APA mandates that its member psychologists use their scientific knowledge in their clinical judgments." When <mask>'s article "Placebo Power" appeared in the January/February 2013 issue of the Saturday Evening Post highlighting the perceived power of the placebo effect, it raised criticisms from science writers and skeptics. Skeptical blogger and science writer PZ Myers said of "Placebo Power", "She's got a tendency to go charging off into fluff and that's what's happened here." Myers' objection largely rested on <mask>'s reliance on anecdotal evidence to bolster claims of the efficacy of placebo treatments. Similar objections were raised by Steven Novella. "Those skeptics that <mask> seems to dismiss have done the hard work for her and other journalists of actually reading the original research, digging down to the salient details, and teasing out the nuances that make all the

Other articles by <mask> have attracted criticism from the political arena.The cover of the August 13, 2007 issue of Newsweek bore the large-print words: "Global Warming is a Hoax*", with the asterisk pointing to the smaller-print words: "*or so claim well-funded naysayers who still reject the overwhelming evidence of climate change." Anthropogenic climate change skeptic Marc Morano, former communications director for Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, referred to the article as a  "one-sided editorial, masquerading as a 'news article.'" This and other articles on the subject of climate change by <mask> were cited in a press release by Morano as part of the reason for launching Climate Depot—a website devoted to denying the scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change. Criticism of the August 13, 2007 article also came from fellow Newsweek columnist Robert Samuelson. In a column that appeared in the next issue, Samuelson characterized the article as "'fundamentally misleading' because it focused on the 'peripheral' actions of the 'denial machine' instead of the intractability of man-made warming".

<mask> (November 7, 1894—June 9, 1957) was an American poet, sometimes described as the "poet laureate of Hawaii." He was also a journalist, cartoonist, author and speaker. Early life
<mask> was born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. He later grew up alongside Lucille "Billie" Cassin (later known as Joan Crawford), later assisting her after she cut her foot on a broken milk bottle. <mask> would later make this incident the focus of a poem he wrote when the two met years later. He trained between 1913 and 1915 at the Art Institute of Chicago. He enlisted (for a year, or the duration of World War I plus up to six months) in the Canadian Army's 97th ("American Legion") Battalion.He then  trained with them for trench warfare for eight months in 1916, but left under unknown circumstances a few days before the unit shipped out for Europe. Blanding would omit reference to that service and training a year later when joining the U.S. military. Poetry career
<mask> became fascinated by Hawaii and moved there in 1915, staying until his enlistment in the U.S. Army in December, 1917. Entering as an infantry private, he underwent officer training and was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant before being discharged in December, 1918, soon after the Armistice. Blanding pursued further art studies in 1920, in Paris and London, traveled in Central America and the Yucatan, and returned to Honolulu in 1921. Finding work as an artist in an advertising agency, he happened into two years of writing poems published daily in the Honolulu Star Bulletin for an advertiser. These featured local people and events, and became well-known and popular – whether because of or in spite of always mentioning the Aji-No-Moto brand of MSG.The popularity of these ad-poems led Blanding to follow the advice of newspaper colleagues by publishing a collection of his poetry in 1923. When his privately published 2000 copies quickly sold out, he followed it with a commercially published edition the same year, and

 with additional verse and prose books. For his fifth book in 1928, he no longer used a local or West Coast publisher, but the New York publisher Dodd, Mead & Company. The result, Vagabond's House, was reviewed promptly by The New York Times, and was a great commercial success. By 1948 it went through nearly fifty printings in several editions that together sold over 150,000 copies. In 1927, he suggested and founded the annual holiday, Lei Day, in Hawaii. While he remained strongly attached to Hawaii, his connections to the world of celebrities drew him often to the mainland, and his income made hotel life and multiple residences feasible.Blanding married the socialite, Dorothy Binney Putnam, on June 13, 1940, and they lived together in Fort Pierce, Florida. Blanding was strongly affected by U.S. entry into World War II, including the knowledge of his island paradise as a military target, the reactions of those he met on his lecture tours, and the fall of Bataan. Bataan surrendered April 9, 1942, while he was on tour, and he wrote "Bataan Falls", 16 emotional lines in response. On April 25, he enlisted as a private at the age of 47. He served eleven months in the 1208th Service Corps Unit, Infantry, and was discharged as a corporal. He divorced in June 1947, leaving no descendants. <mask> died of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles on June 9, 1957, at the age of 62."Vagabond's House"
He published his long poem "Vagabond's House" several times. (It was in the first, private, printing of Leaves from a Grass-House in 1923; the commercially published edition of the same book, later that year, included it with the title changed to "Aloha House". In 1928 he restored the original "Vagabond's House" title, making it the title poem of another collection.) Its detailed fantasy begins

Blanding's paintings often portray undersea views, flowers and branches. Underwater Scene, from c. 1927–30, demonstrates his use of sharp outlines and lack of shading.His ink drawings are a powerful part of his many literary publications. From 1938 to 1942, <mask> designed Hawaiian themed tableware for Vernon Kilns, near Los Angeles, California. The patterns he designed are Aquarium, Coral Reef, Delight, Ecstasy, Glamour, Hawaii, Hawaiian Flowers, Hilo, Honolulu, and Lei Lani. Bibliography

<mask> (died January 10, 1926) was a Canadian minor league baseball player, manager, and promoter who played on a number of Ontario and Michigan teams between 1898 and 1915. Known best by his nickname "Rube," he was born in Amherstburg, Ontario, about 20 miles downriver from Windsor, and died in 1926 at the age of 47. He was remarkably popular with fans in his day, and newspaper reports routinely refer to the teams he was on as "<mask>'s Boys," "the <mask>ites," and (projecting his large build onto the entire team) "<mask>'s huskies." <mask> was primarily a pitcher but he also did well as a position player. His lifetime batting average (based on professional league games only) was .275 over ten seasons, 780 games, and 2918 at-bats. Of his 803 hits, 98 were doubles, 16 triples, and 22 home runs. Slugging percentage: .241.On-base percentage: .275. Early Career in Windsor, 1898-1905

As early as 1898, the right-hander's play with local teams began to attract the attention of scouts. Professional offers started rolling in by 1901 from teams such as Detroit, Philadelphia, and Buffalo, but for several years he turned them all down, preferring to work in Windsor as a diver. By 1902 <mask> was pitcher-manager of the Windsors baseball team, of Windsor, Ontario. In 1903, the team won 19 of the 23 games it played against semi-professional teams all over Western Ontario and Michigan. In that same year he added to his fame when he recovered the body of a small boy who had drowned in the Detroit River; previous efforts to drag the river for the child had been unsuccessful. In

 1904 he was on the Detroit Tigers payroll as a "try-out" but did not make the roster.He did get at least one paid gig with the Merrill, Michigan, team, which was in the habit of salting the line-up with professionals. After the regular season, <mask> found ways to keep playing baseball. In October he played for the amateur Crickets of Windsor's neighboring community Walkerville, and in December he helped set up an indoor baseball league for the 21st Essex Fusiliers, the forerunner of the Essex Scottish Regiment, with a team for each of the eight companies comprised by the regiment. Rube also managed, coached, and captained a regimental team, drawn from the best of the eight companies. In the 1905 season <mask> played for three different teams. In March he re-signed with the Windsors,  who the Detroit Free Press said had been the "terror" of the region for the past two years with <mask> as their "star twirler and manager." He also played for Saginaw against other Michigan teams; the Detroit Free Press reported him pitching for that team on June 21 (losing 3-2 before 300 fans) and for Norris, the winningest team in the City League, on Sept. 18 and Oct. 4 (winning the latter 3-0, attendance 175).In December, <mask> was back to work on indoor baseball. The Free Press reported there was "a split" in the Fusiliers team and that <mask> was thinking of putting together an independent indoor team to participate in the new indoor league being planned in Detroit.

 League — as a pitcher and for part of the season as manager. Newly formed this year by <mask> and others, Southern Michigan was a Class D league under a classification system that ran from D up to AAA. Rube played 82 games for Jackson, with a batting average of 281. Notwithstanding his Jackson perch, <mask> pitched the last three innings for Windsor's opening game in Williams Park against the Detroit Magnolias. (He gave up no runs and struck out two.Windsor won, 10-2, even with 10 runners left on base. Attendance was 800.) <mask> also returned to Windsor on May 13, this time pitching a complete game for Jackson against his old team with 8 strikeouts. He also ran home on a third-baseman's error in the sixth inning and drove in the two winning runs with a triple in the ninth. Jackson took the game 7-6 in front of a crowd 400. A bad shoulder hindered <mask>'s pitching in the first half of the season, but he improved in the second. In the season finale he pitched a complete game for Jackson against Saginaw, winning 7 to 2 before 1200 fans.The very next day the Free Press announced that he had signed with the Pontiac team to play the remainder of its season. Springfield Senators, 1907
At the end of 1906, <mask> signed for the following season with the Springfield (Illinois) Senators of the Class B Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League (often called "The 3-I League") "at one of the best salaries paid a pitcher in the organization." <mask> kept up his baseball even in the dead of winter, appearing in a baseball game on ice at a Detroit skating rink in February 1907. In March the

 Springfield Senators were negotiating with the Detroit Tigers to acquire Henry Steiger, a left-handed pitcher to complement <mask> the rightie. But by April he had a serious problem with his pitching arm, possibly related to last year's bad shoulder. He wrote to the Free Press early in the month that it had "swelled to twice its size" and could remain a problem through the first half of the season. Battle Creek Crickets, 1907-1908
By May 1907, <mask> was playing not with Springfield but with the Battle Creek Crickets of the Southern Michigan League, "playing any old place from catcher to first, second, third, or short."Baseball-Reference.Com's records for the Southern Michigan League list James Henderson as the manager, but <mask> must have been at least the captain: at season's end the Free Press was referring to the Crickets as "the Deneauites," noting that Battle Creek had <mask> on reserve for 1908. One blot on the Battle Creek season was the suspension of shortstop Curly Henderson on suspicion of throwing the game with a wild throw to <mask> at first. Henderson, who claimed that the ball went only a foot above <mask>'s head and should have been caught, vowed never to return to Battle Creek. For the season at Battle Creek, the Free Press reported <mask>'s batting average as .275 with a fielding percentage of .976. But Baseball-Reference.Com says his batting average this year was .250, .352 slugging. The Crickets played a number of exhibition games; if the Free Press was counting those in its calculations that might explain the discrepancy. As a pitcher Rube

 had 15 games, won 9, lost 3.The team placed third (of 8) in the league, with an average of .563. On April 26, 1908, Battle Creek's Crickets played their first exhibition game against the Battle Creek Independents. Rube <mask> was the manager of the Crickets and had 12 players on board, including Curly Henderson, who must have had a change of heart. <mask> did not pitch this first game, but in June he was reported as the losing pitcher in a Free Press article on a game between the Crickets and Flint. As a player, <mask> earned a .288 batting average over 124 games. He pitched 19 games, winning 6 and losing 8. The team placed only 6th in the 9-team league, with an average of .496.The Windsors, 1909
In February 1909 <mask> met with other baseball people in Michigan and Ontario about forming a Border League to comprise Windsor, Pontiac, Port Huron, Monroe, Mt. Clemens, and possibly Chatham. <mask> would play for Windsor if he could get out of his Battle Creek contract. Windsor had just built a new park that the team could use (it was named "Wigle Park" later in the year), and most of the other cities had good facilities. On Feb. 26, <mask> organized a public gathering at Windsor's Crawford House to drum up support for the league. But in April the Windsor Evening Record was reporting that "chances are not bright for the Border league." Without league membership, the Windsor team would play as amateurs.With or without league membership it would be led by <mask> as manager. On May 24, Windsor inaugurated the new park with a game against "semi-professional" Mt. Clemens

In the early method of box scoring used by the newspapers of the day he was credited with 7 "outs"—apparently the catcher or first baseman was credited with the out that follows the third strike. June 16 was Deneau Day at Wigle Park. Over 1200 fans bought tickets for a game between Windsor and the Good Lucks from Detroit, all the proceeds to go to Rube <mask>, "who is very popular in this city."Four days later with <mask> on first the team beat the Detroit Spaldings 4-0 at home, attendance 187. On July 10 <mask> pitched the second game of a series against the Old Athletics, allowing no runs after the first inning and winning the game 4-2. By July 17 his arm and his team were stronger than ever in a 19-5 rout of Detroit's Woodmere club before 314 fans. <mask> was credited with a triple. He and a player named Delaney alternated pitching and first-base duties. On July 22 a scheduled game against the Detroit Athletic Club was cancelled because "the majority of <mask>'s men are busy at the race track this week and are unable to get away to play ball." On the 28th they were drubbed by Detroit's Cass team, with Delaney and the hitless <mask> again alternating at first base and the pitcher's mound.On the 31st, they beat Detroit Business Institute 2-1, attendance 225. <mask> managed but did not play.

 Chatham, striking out four batters and scoring two runs himself. Windsor won, 8-3. The team beat Chatham again on the morning of the 18th in a tournament at Leamington before 950 fans, with <mask> at shortstop. In the afternoon the "bulky leader" of the team was on the mound against the Detroit Athletic Club, which was beaten 8-5. <mask> struck out four and scored one of the runs.In late August and early September, <mask> seems to have been on some kind of leave. A game scheduled for the 24th against the Detroit Athletic Club was canceled because he "finds it necessary to be out of town part of this week." Then on Sept. 12 a company team from Detroit came to Windsor "for the purpose of taking a look at Rube <mask>'s slants," but he was not with the team for that game either. On the 21st the sports page of the Free Press carried a message: "Rube <mask> is requested to call Manager Batchelor, of the D. A. C. [Detroit Athletic Club], this evening after 7 o'clock at Main 6200." <mask>'s absences may have been due to his extracurricular (and presumably paid) work with the Saginaw Wa-was, who ended in first place in the Southern Michigan League that year. While at Saginaw he registered 24 hits on 89 at-bats for a .270 batting average. At the end of the year Saginaw businessmen took up a Christmas collection for 17 members of the team.Rube was one of them and received a check for $16.70, which at the time would have been enough to buy a new suit or overcoat.

 Senators on August 30 he ended a 16-inning standoff in the first game by stealing home and later scored the winning (and only) run in the second game by stealing home in the sixth inning. His batting average at Bay City was .257 (slugging .353) on 102 games and 374 at-bats. The team ended the season with a .478 average, placing 5th among the 8 teams. <mask> also did some occasional umpiring in Windsor for the newly formed Trolley League and played for Walkerville after Bay City's season was finished. Berlin Green Sox, 1911-1912
In 1911 <mask> managed the Green Sox of Berlin, Ontario (later renamed Kitchener) to a pennant-winning 70-40 record in the Class D Canadian League (London, Hamilton, Guelph, St. Thomas, Brantford).At Berlin he played 103 games, mostly at first base, earning a .297 batting average and a .427 slugging percentage. The team's stellar record notwithstanding, owner "Pop" Williams just broke even financially. The problem was that Berlin's Victoria Park was not big enough to accommodate the numbers the team needed to stay in the black. <mask> thought a move to Windsor might be in order, for Wigle Park was, in the words of the Windsor Evening Record, "one of the best baseball diamonds in Ontario." So after the regular season he took the Green Sox to the Windsor area for exhibitions against local  teams and encouraged Windsor leaders to consider adopting the team. He also led a Canadian League all-star team that played exhibition games in the border area. As 1912 began there was no movement in Windsor for adopting the Green Sox, and Berlin

texts: authorities were dragging their feet on the prospect of expanding the facilities at Victoria Park.In February <mask> and "Pop" Williams negotiated with the city of Waterloo about moving the Berlin team there. Nothing came of that, but by April construction had begun on improvements to the Berlin field and <mask> was hiring men to replace the six from last year who had been snapped up by the majors. On May 11 the Berlin team came to Windsor for the latter's opening exhibition game at Wigle Park. <mask>'s team sported "the niftiest uniform in the league" and a new name, the Busy Bees. There was a bump in the road when the Ontario Municipal and Railway Board ruled that public moneys could not be spent on the Victoria Park improvements without a referendum. However, construction continued and all animosities crumbled at the season opener in Berlin, where <mask> was given a rousing welcome by 1500 fans, with a regimental band, a procession of leading citizens, and a presentation to Rube of "a monster bouquet and bag of gold." As the always adulatory Evening Record put it, "to show that his heart was in the right place [<mask>] won his game by 3 to 2" against the Brantford Red Sox.The league itself was upgraded this year to Class C and expanded to eight teams: Ottawa, Brantford, Hamilton, London, St. Thomas, Berlin, Guelph, and Peterborough. During the season <mask> continued to be the Renaissance Man of the diamond, serving as manager, utility outfielder, and sometime pitcher. He pinch-hit in one game against Ottawa on June 4 and in another on the 14th scored four runs

 on three hits and started a triple play. He pitched a total of 57 innings, was the pitcher of record in 9 games, won only 1 of them and lost 4. He batted 237 times for a .274 average in 63 games. However, the loss of those six men to the majors weighed heavily on the team. It ended up at 6th place in the 8-team league, with a .457 percentage.After the season, <mask> again organized a league all-star team that barnstormed the Ontario-Michigan area. London Tecumsehs, 1913
In 1913 all the Canadian League teams had new or reshuffled managers except Brantford and Hamilton. <mask> was traded to the London Tecumsehs. (The team had changed its name from the "Cockneys" in 1912, but newspapers continued to use the old name in their reports.) Rube came on as manager, pitcher, and utility outfielder. The league also instituted a new salary limit of $150 a month, which had been just an ordinary player's salary last season. On July 27 London was leading the league but lost to Ottawa 3-1.In the game "Manager Rube <mask> got into a row with Umpire Jocko Halligan, the London chief claiming that the Senators were putting licorice on the ball to prevent [London pitcher Bobby] Heck's spitball from working. Halligan examined the ball and tossed it back into play." Spitballs were permissible until the major leagues phased them out in the 1920s. By August 23 Ottawa was leading London in the standings .650 to .593. On that day the teams played a double-header in Ottawa that Halligan later called "the most exciting game of baseball he had ever witnessed in his 20 years experience on the

 diamond." In the first game London led 5-3 until the ninth, thanks to a <mask> grand slam in the fourth inning and an insurance run in the seventh. <mask> was also pitching well, but after giving up two hits and a run in the ninth he called Heck in to relieve him with two men out and two on base.Tragically, Heck walked his first batter and gave up a double to the second, losing the game 6-5. The second game was even more unusual. It went 12 scoreless innings and then had to be called on account of darkness. The following week London played its last two games at home before crowds of over 10,000. The team finished the season just one game behind Ottawa, with a .621 average. For the year, <mask> had pitched 105.1 innings in 17 games (won 5, lost 5), leading the league in strikeouts with 71. He also fielded in 94 games (fielding percentage: .754) and batted .291 in 296 at-bats (slugging: .399).After the regular season <mask> took his London team to Windsor for an exhibition game against the home team on Sept. 6. On the 21st, he led an all-star selection from the Canadian League against the Packards, a Detroit amateur team. Brantford Red Sox, 1914-1915

Despite his team's excellent finish in 1913, 1914 was a bad year for <mask>. The London owners decided to hire a new manager and keep Rube only as a player, at a lower salary. <mask> would have none of it, and had himself traded to the Brantford Red Sox for Ernest "Chubby" Coose. Brantford had finished last in 1913, and Coose's stats, though good enough, were not any better than <mask>'s. In his two seasons at

texts: Brantford, Coose had pitched 51 games, winning 20 and losing 17.He was also a decent utility outfielder, batting .273 and slugging .231. Perhaps London was impressed by his .963 fielding percentage. At any rate, when Coose told his new owners that he wanted "a big league salary . . . or he will not report," they chose the latter option. According to his page at Baseball-Reference.Com, Coose never played in a league again. As a player Rube was at first base with Brantford, batting 356 times in 94 games for a batting average of .272 (.365 slugging). But as a manager he could not do anything with the Red Sox, despite earnest efforts before the season to sign up a better class of player.Brantford ended up at the bottom of the league again in 1914, with a .404 average. In a bitter moment in mid-season <mask> called Frank Reisling, his replacement as manager at London, a "has-been." But in reality it was <mask>, at age 35, who was winding down his career. At the end of the season he suffered an injury in a game against Ottawa. The following year, his last in pro ball, would see him at bat in only 13 games (.250 batting average, .281 slugging). After predicting a successful season in April, <mask> was unable to keep the Red Sox out of the cellar. On June 10 the team asked for his resignation.Just two days after leaving Brantford Rube was in a new job as umpire in an Ottawa-London double-header. Reporting on the move the Windsor Evening Record called him "the man who did much to put baseball on the map in Western Ontario . . . one of the most prominent men in the game."

 Career in Public Safety

In 1917 <mask> signed on with the Ford City police force and served four years. Then in 1921 the Town of Riverside was organized on the Detroit River just east of Ford City. <mask> went to Riverside as Assistant Chief of Police, under Chief Dennis Mahoney. In 1922 the town added a constable to the force and built a five-cell police station on Riverside Drive.Articles about <mask>'s police work appeared regularly in the Border Cities Star through 1925. He kept track of lost property, chased speeders (including Ty Cobb), caught burglars and bootleggers, got into gun battles, rounded up suspicious characters, and with his colleagues managed to haul a dead horse out of Little River and return it to its owner for burial. He appears to have been something of a stickler for rules, advising citizens in the local newspaper about strict enforcement of open fires laws and warning that women who cuddled up to the driver of an automobile could expect a ticket. In 1922 Riverside also acquired a fire engine (a Ford, naturally), and soon Deneau was battling blazes as the town's default fireman.<ref>"Ford Engine Has First Run," Border Cities Star,"] Oct. 9, 1922, p. 7.

He grew up in North Wales, where he played in the amateur game for Llay Welfare before making his professional debut for Wrexham in 1989. After one season at Millwall, he made a £1 million transfer to Crystal Palace of the Premier League in 1992. In March 1995, he became the first Premier League player to receive a doping ban, testing positive for cannabis. He joined Tottenham Hotspur that June for a club record £4.5 million and was part of their team that won the League Cup in 1999. After a one-game spell at Bolton Wanderers, he returned to Wrexham for the remainder of his career.<mask> was tracked by the international teams of Wales, Nigeria and the Republic of Ireland but rejected all three.

Early career
<mask> was born in Newcastle upon Tyne to an Irish father and Nigerian mother, and moved to London at age three. He was raised by foster parents in Wales, where he began playing as an amateur goalkeeper in local leagues, before leaving school and giving up on football aged 16. A friend reintroduced him to the game by bringing him to Llay Welfare in the Welsh National League, while he packed burgers during the day for £30 a week. He gained the attention of local professional club Wrexham. At Wrexham, <mask> made his professional debut as a teenager during the 1989–90 Football League season in the old Fourth Division, and managed to score three times through the course of the season.In his two-year spell at the club, he went on to play 60 games, scoring 13 times.

 Winners' Cup, where he scored the only goal of the first round tie against Denmark's Lyngby before elimination by eventual champions Manchester United in the second round. He moved to Bruce Rioch's Millwall for £50,000 in August 1991. Crystal Palace
After one season with Millwall, <mask> joined Steve Coppell's Crystal Palace for £1 million in 1992, ahead of the inaugural season of the Premier League. He found a home at Selhurst Park, where he was the club's top-scorer with 23 league goals in his first campaign. In January 1995, Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United bid £4.7 million to sign <mask>, but Palace rejected the offer. In March 1995, <mask> tested positive for cannabis, becoming the first Premier League player to fail a drug test, and was banned for four matches.The Independent sports writer Glenn Moore criticised The FA for punishing <mask> despite not taking action against Dennis Wise and Vinnie Jones for recent violent offences, adding that cannabis was extremely unlikely to have aided his performance. <mask> finished the season on 18 goals, not enough to save the Eagles from relegation. His 23 Premier League goals for Palace were the club record until Wilfried Zaha surpassed him in August 2018. Tottenham Hotspur
After interest from FA Cup holders Everton, <mask> joined Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £4.5 million in June 1995, replacing Bayern Munich-bound Jürgen Klinsmann. With the funds coming from a new kit deal and the sales of Klinsmann, Gica Popescu and Ilie Dumitrescu, this made him both Tottenham's most expensive signing, until Les Ferdinand for £6 million in 1997. It was also Palace's most expensive sale, until Andrew Johnson joined Everton for £8.6 million in 2006. <mask> made his Spurs debut on 19 August in a 1–1 draw at Manchester City, and scored his first goals in the form of a brace on 20 September in a

 4–0 win over Chester City in the second round of the League Cup.He totalled 22 goals (15 league) in his first season, including the winner in the North London derby against Arsenal on 18 November at White Hart Lane. At the start of the season, he was criticised by tabloids for a slow start, and was seen as an inadequate replacement for Klinsmann and inferior to Arsenal's new striker Dennis Bergkamp. However, he built up a prolific partnership with Teddy Sheringham; <mask>'s two goals in a 4–1 win over Manchester United on 1 January 1996 brought their combined total to 23 goals. On 28 December 1998, <mask> scored a late hat-trick in a 4–1 home win over Everton, and when he was substituted at the end of the game his teammate David Ginola got in his way to bow down to him. He scored five times in their League Cup run that season, including two in a 3–1 win over Manchester United in the quarter-finals, but was unused in the final at Wembley Stadium which Spurs won over Leicester City. <mask>'s 2000–01 season was disrupted by frequent groin injuries. Two ankle operations meant he missed the entirety of the following season.Final years
On 28 August 2002, <mask> signed for Bolton Wanderers in a deal that would see him earn a low wage until his first-team debut, estimated at two months away due to fitness. His only appearance came on 2 October, in a 1–0 home defeat to Bury in the second round of the League Cup, lasting just 53 minutes before being substituted for Henrik Pedersen. <mask> returned to Wrexham aged 32 on 4 July 2003, signing a three-year deal ahead of their return to the Second Division.

Between 1998 and 2007 he worked as a foreign correspondent for the international network Al Jazeera, providing the western point of view relevant to international events, such as the September 11 attacks. Early life
<mask> was born in Tripoli in Lebanon, eighth of nine children, three males and six females, from Palestinian refugees. In 1948, just fourteen years before his birth, following the establishment of the state of Israel his parents fled from Jaffa, where they had lived until then in their own estate, later dispossessed by Israelis. In Lebanon <mask>'s father was a UN officer and UNRWA supervisor of institutes for Palestinian refugees' education. When in Lebanon, <mask> attended the Greek Orthodox college in the Christian district of Tripoli. To carry on his studies he firstly moved to Romania, where he enrolled in the University of Bucharest at the time of Nicolae Ceauşescu, eventually moving to Bari in Italy in 1983 to study Electrical Engineering at the local University.Career

Al Darawish

In 1988 Salameh founded the band Al Darawish. The group invented a style of their own by playing several instruments coming from various areas of the Mediterranean region. The result was a rich melt seasoned by different sounds and cultures and the band received great approval from the public. Theirs was one of the first world music projects in Italy and fuelled more multi-ethnic experiences in the country. For Salameh, this was the start of a long thriving musical career. In 1990, Al Darawish took part in the Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs d'Europe et de la Méditerranée in Marseille. In 1991 they were selected and performed for the musical festival Arezzo Wave among other artists coming from all over the world, then played at Carrefour de la Mediterranée in Thessaloniki in Greece.In 1993, Al

In the same year Al Darawish were guests at the Babylon festival in Iraq. In 1994, <mask> performed in Bari for the very first time with the Israeli singer Achinoam Nini aka Noa, with whom he has sung many times during his career. In 1995, Al Darawish were guests at Musicultura for the sixth edition of Premio Città Recanati and to the acclaimed Concerto del Primo Maggio, a massive musical event held every year on Labour Day in Rome, with the participation of great Italian and international artists. In July 1995 the movie Trafitti da un raggio di sole was released, with Al Darawish signing the soundtrack and <mask> playing a part himself as an actor. In 1996, Al Darawish recorded their second album Radio Dervish. Radiodervish

In 1997 Al Darawish disbanded.In the same year this was followed by the formation of the new band Radiodervish, by <mask> <mask> and Michele Lobaccaro, co-performer and co-founder of Al Darawish. Also in 1997 <mask> was asked to sing the anthem of the thirteenth edition of the Mediterranean Games, a multi-disciplinary sports event joined by athletes from the Mediterranean region: that year the games were held in Italy and <mask> was chosen as a Palestinian artist to perform for such event, for the very first time ever. In 1998 Radiodervish recorded their first album Lingua contro lingua, published under the label I dischi del mulo and distributed by the multinational recording company Polygram: this work was awarded best record debut of the year by the Italian musical contest Piero Ciampi.

 duetted with Jovanotti (born Lorenzo Cherubini) for the video recording of the latter's track Stella Cometa, and it was in that occasion that Jovanotti asked <mask> <mask> to render that song lyrics in Arabic and sing it. That is how Cherubini's single CD Dolce Fare Niente Remix turned out with three tracks, the first homonymous sung in Italian by Jovanotti, the second, Stella Cometa / Stella d'Oriente, as a duo by Cherubini/<mask> and the third Stella d'Oriente totally sung in Arabic by <mask> Salameh. July 2000 brought to Nabil Salameh and the Israeli singer Achinoam Nini the recognition of honorary citizenship by the Mayor of Melpignano, who awarded the two artists for their continuous effort and commitment to build relationships between different cultures and for their effective activism for peace.In December of the same year, <mask> and Noa performed together on stage in a special concert for peace held in the Cathedral of Monreale and directed by Nicola Piovani with the Sicilian Symphonic Orchestra, for the United Nations convention against transnational organized crime, in presence of delegates from 189 nations. The activity for peace of the two artists has been also appreciated by the association Accademia del Mediterraneo, which awarded them with Premio Mediterraneo arte 2001 for the usage of the universal language of music as a means to peace. World touring

In March 2001 <mask> <mask> and Michele Lobaccaro presented a new musical project by Radiodervish, In Acustico, at La Vallisa in Bari, a church dating back to the tenth century now transformed in an auditorium. The project was meant to sustain the activities of the association Salaam ragazzi dell'olivo to support the children in the Palestinian refugee camp of Al Fawwar, in Hebron, West Bank. The event brought the house down, with six evening performances all sold out and gave origin to the stuff contained in the CD-ROM In Acustico. In June 2001, Salameh and Radiodervish are invited to perform in Beirut for the Fête de la Musique,

The experience was set in a rare atmosphere: Beirut was thirsty of feeling and showing alive, after so many wars and scars left by years and years of quite never ending conflicts, and <mask> was back in the country where he was born, even though not being a Lebanese himself, being stateless as a child of Palestinian refugees, with his family still leaving there.A moving documentary was made, Li Beirut, filmed by the director Marco Preti who accompanied Radiodervish in Lebanon, and a touching article, written by the journalist Massimo Zamboni, published on the magazine Diario. In 2002, Radiodervish was still touring with their project In Acustico. In January, <mask> and Radiodervish took part in the yearly concert held for Epiphany festivity, broadcast by RAI Rai 1 TV network: the theme of the show was peace in the Middle East and <mask> duetted again with Noa in the moving setting of Santa Chiara's monastery in Naples. For this occasion Radiodervish performed a national preview of the new single Centro del Mundo, which gave name to the following album by the band, released the next summer. Later that year in May, Radiodervish performed in the traditional Labour Day concert held in Brussels, which was dedicated to peace development in the Middle East. Later that same month, <mask> was again involved in another event by the same subject, Time for peace, held at the Colosseum in Rome and broadcast live worldwide. Here <mask> sang Centro del Mundo with Noa, with whom he also joined the peace walk Perugia-Assisi.Radiodervish's album Centro del Mundo was released in June 2002, under the newborn label Cosmasola, and distributed by Il Manifesto CD. This new work was inspired by the changeableness and uprooting which influence the soul of human beings, and the music and tracks contained in the album tell the stories and feelings of people living between two cultures. Radiodervish were on tour all over Italy from

 August till the end of the year. In line with their personal social commitment, during this period they engaged in the Giubileo degli Oppressi, a series of events and meetings organized both by clerics and lay people aimed to find practical solutions against wars and to integrate people generally living in the fringe of society bearing no guilt, such as the needy, refugees, humans struck by conflicts, unemployed, homeless people. In September 2002 <mask> and Radiodervish performed at the second Summit of Mayors of the World for Peace, held in Athens, and in October they were guests at Premio Tenco, a musical contest organized every year in Italy. Following an invitation by the University of Bari and the publisher Meridiana Editrice, in December 2002 <mask> <mask> and Michele Lobaccaro met and interviewed professor Arie Nadler, an Israeli sociologist, director of the Peres Centre for Peace in Tel Aviv, discussing the subject Building a peace memorial, that is to say how to develop a peaceful coexistence by sharing individual experience and memories. Paris and Italy

On 26 and 27 March 2003 Nabil played with Radiodervish at the impressive scenery of the Olympia in Paris, entering the élite of the international stars who have performed on the coveted stage.In August 2003 <mask> sang in the closing evening of the festival La Notte della Taranta, interpreting a traditional musical piece from Salento, arranged by the co-performer Stewart Copeland for that special occasion. In 2004 Radiodervish worked on a musical project inspired by the book Manteq aṭ-Ṭayr, The Conference of the Birds, by Farid al-Din Attar, a Persian poet, theoretician of Sufism. The project fed two artistic productions: the new album In search of Simurgh (Cosmasola / Il Manifesto), produced by Saro Cosentino and distributed also in the Asian market (Japan, China, Taiwan and Corea), and a play with the same name of the CD, woven with the work Ali di Polvere, written by the director and actress Teresa Ludovico, also performing on the

 stage with Radiodervish for this play, in which acting, poetry, music and lights melt together in a unique show. In 2006 <mask> and Radiodervish were on tour with another play, Amara Terra Mia, together with the actor Giuseppe Battiston. The show was a tribute to the Italian singer and songwriter Domenico Modugno: two of his best known songs, Amara Terra Mia and Tu si na cosa grande, were given a place of honour in this work, arranged here to be sung partly in Italian and Arabic. The play also produced an audio CD and a DVD, the former containing the audio recording of the live show, in which the songs of Radiodervish laid next to some texts recited by Battiston, in a tale of human beings on an eternal journey, moving among lands and cultures, between West and East, and the latter including the video clip of the song Amara Terra Mia, directed by the artist, singer and composer Franco Battiato and a recording from the show during the live given at Teatro Kismet OperA in Bari. In 2007 Radiodervish released the album L'immagine di te (Radiofandango / Cosmasola) produced by Franco Battiato.On 14 September <mask> <mask> became an Italian subject by an ordinance of the Republic of Italy, acquiring a citizenship after having been stateless for years and years, just like most Palestinians are. 2008–2010

Between 2008 and 2009 <mask> and the Radiodervish were involved in more projects together with other artists.For the festival Divinamente Roma, with the participation of the actor Valter Malosti they set up the show Con le radici al cielo, a well-done and successful experiment in which mysticism was driven by poetry and essential music. In another show, accompanied by the live music of Radiodervish, the writer Carlo Lucarelli read some passages from his book L'ottava vibrazione, speaking about the experience of the Italian soldiers fighting against the Abyssinian army of Menelik in Ethiopia at the end of the nineteenth century. In this period Nabil and Radiodervish organized and led a new cultural project, Le Porte dell'Occidente, held at the Norman-Swabian castle of Sannicandro di Bari, which became the permanent residence of numerous cultural events, from music performances to video screenings, from exhibitions to artistic workshops dedicated to schools, in which Radiodervish and other artists coming from different parts of the Mediterranean area involved themselves to promote cultural and artistic development as well as widen knowledge and consciousness of a common Mediterranean culture. During this very intense and creative period Radiodervish started cherishing the project of a new album. Following the experience of integration spent during Le Porte dell'Occidente, in May 2009 Nabil and Radiodervish went on a tour together with the Arab Orchestra of Nazareth, starting playing with them in Tel Aviv on the stage of the Tzavta theatre and then in Italy in June. During their next stay in Jerusalem, a very touching artistic and personal experience, they drew the inspiration for Beyond the Sea, the album released in October
