Coon mentoring him in its early development.Although, he originally wanted to name the series Adam's Ark, <mask> changed the name to Galactica However, he was later convinced to include the word "star" in the title, capitalizing on the popularity of the recently released film Star Wars, eventually deciding on Battlestar Galactica. Even with its generous budget, the series often recycled effects shots; it was canceled after one season. The pilot episode of Galactica, titled "Saga of a Star World" in the program continuity, was edited into a two-hour theatrical film released in North America and Europe (a second theatrical release, titled Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack, was compiled by re-editing other episodes of the series). After the series was canceled, <mask> went on to create a relatively low-budget sequel to the series, titled Galactica 1980, which was set many years later, when the Galactica had reached Earth. This series was less successful than the original and was canceled after 10 episodes. <mask> re-used some of the sets, props, costumes, and effects work from Galactica for the light-hearted sci-fi series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century in 1979.

 American box office. The weekly television series began in September 1979, running for two seasons until April 1981. In the 1980s, <mask> had further success as one of the creators of Magnum, P.I., which ran from 1980 to 1988. Around the same time, he left Universal to work for 20th Century-Fox. Additionally, <mask> created The Fall Guy, which ran from 1981 to 1986. <mask>'s next prominent series was Knight Rider, which featured science-fiction elements with a light-hearted action-adventure scenario and limited violence. These basic elements characterized many of <mask>'s series' throughout the 1980s with Automan, Manimal and The Highwayman, though all of these shows were unsuccessful and none lasted more than a single season.<mask>'s profile declined, though he made a brief comeback in the 1990s with an adaptation of the Ultraverse comic Night Man, which lasted two seasons. In 2003, Battlestar Galactica was remade for the Sci-Fi Channel as a miniseries; it was followed by a 2004 series, that, unlike the original, lasted multiple seasons. <mask> was not involved in any capacity with the new series, though he did receive a screen credit as "Consulting Producer". After the series ended in 2009, a short-lived prequel series, Caprica, followed in 2010. <mask> was again not involved, but he was given a screen credit for the creation of certain characters. In February 2009, media sources reported that <mask> was in talks with Universal Pictures to bring Battlestar Galactica to the big screen, though any potential feature film would not be based on the recent Sci-Fi Channel series remake, but would possibly be based on the original series. The project stalled for some time; in 2011 a re-announced version was now no longer a continuation of the original series but rather a complete remake.Criticism

 criticism has been aimed at <mask> for his perceived general lack of originality as many of his television series are seen as small screen "knock-offs" of feature films. Harlan Ellison once referred to him as "<mask>y" for the notorious similarities between <mask>'s shows and cinema blockbusters. In his autobiography, The Garner Files, James Garner stated that <mask> stole a number of plots of The Rockford Files (which Garner's production company co-produced), then used them for his own shows, simply changing the dialogue minimally and using different character names. Garner's group complained to the Writer's Guild; <mask> was fined, and an episode of <mask>'s series Switch called "Death by Resurrection" had the writing credits revised to give sole credit to the writers of the original Rockford Files episode "This Case Is Closed", as it was very clearly the basis of the Switch episode. Nevertheless, Garner felt that the fine had taught <mask> nothing when he persisted in plagiarism and later copied the theme music from The Rockford Files for one of his shows. Garner stated that when <mask> subsequently showed up on the Rockford set, he put his arm around Garner and said "I hope there are no hard feelings, Jim." After <mask> ignored a warning by Garner to take his arm off him, Garner claims that he punched <mask> so hard that <mask> "flew across the curb, into a motor home, and out the other side."Lawsuit against Universal Studios
In July 2011, <mask> began a lawsuit against Universal Studios, alleging a decades-long fraud and claimed the studio had not paid him a share of the profits owed from the television shows he produced while working with them. <mask>'s involvement with Universal had begun in the 1970s, and his contractual agreement had secured him net profits from the revenues generated by the shows he worked

<mask>ttir (Old Norse:  ; Modern Icelandic:  ) was an Icelandic woman of the tenth century. She was the daughter of Egill Skallagrímsson and the wife of Olaf the Peacock. Olaf and Thorgerd had a number of children: the sons Kjartan, Steinthór, Halldór, Helgi, and Höskuldur and the daughters Thurídur, Thorbjörg, Thorgerd and Bergthóra. The ill-fated Kjartan would be his father's favorite. Portrayal in Icelandic Sagas
The character of <mask>ttir appears in several Icelandic sagas. She first appears in Egils Saga (Egils saga Skallagrímssonar), being born to Egil Skallagrímsson and his wife Asgerd. <mask> was the eldest of five children.The saga states that “all of Egil’s children were promising and intelligent.”  Later, the saga states that she was “a very fine woman, wise, rather strong-tempered, but usually quiet,”  and that she made a favorable match with Olaf. In chapter 79 of Egil’s Saga, <mask> manipulates her father for his own good. After the death of his son Bodvar, a grieving Egil takes to his bed and refuses to eat. Thorgerd is summoned by her mother to help. When she arrives at her father’s home she announces in a loud voice;
 I have had no evening meal, nor will I do so until I go to join Freyja. I know no better course of action than my father’s. I do not want to live after my father and brother are dead.She then goes and lays down in another bed in her father’s bed-closet. Egil was pleased with his daughter and the love that she had shown. Soon she tricks Egil into eating dulse (or edible seaweed) by telling him that it would make him feel worse and that it was bad for him. Afterward, she tricks him into drinking milk, telling him first that it was water that she called for. After stating that “We’ve been tricked,” Thorgerd then manipulates Egil

 further;
What will we do now? Our plan has failed. Now I want us to stay alive, father, long enough for you to compose a poem in Bodvar’s memory and I will carve it on a rune-stick.Then we can die if we want to. I doubt whether your son Thorstein would ever compose a poem for Bodvar, and it is unseemly if his memory is not honoured, because I do not expect us to be sitting there at the feast when it is. Egil, who was known for his poetry, composed a poem in honor of his deceased son, and in doing so soon began to recover from his grief. He eventually left his bed and gave Thorgerd gifts when she left. <mask> Egilsdottir also makes an appearance in The Saga of the People of Laxardal (Laxdæla saga). In Chapter 23 her betrothal to Olaf the Peacock is described. Olaf and his father Hoskuld approached her father Egil at the Althing to make a match between Thorgerd and Olaf.Even though Egil approves of the match, he states that Thorgerd would have to be asked “because there is no man who could make Thorgerd his wife should she be set against it.” At first Thorgerd refused his offer of marriage, because she believed Olaf to beneath her in birth. After having a conversation with Olaf himself, and some convincing by her father, she finally agrees to the marriage. Her marriage was, by all accounts, an affectionate one. Thorgerd’s character is described in Laxdæla saga as;
Everyone soon realized what a woman of strong character Thorgerd was: though she was not one to waste words, once she set her mind on something there was no swaying her – things had to go the way she wanted. This strong character is seen later in the Laxdæla saga when she seeks retribution for her slain son Kjartan. Her husband agrees to a wergild for his son’s death, but Thorgerd is set on vengeance. Being

 female, she has little option but to encourage her other sons.She takes then for a drive past the farm of man who killed Kjartan, and says;
Here lives Bolli, your brother’s slayer, and not a shred of resemblance do you bear to your great ancestors since you won’t avenge a brother the likes of Kjartan. Never would your grandfather Egil have acted like this, and it grieves me to have such spineless sons. You would have made your father better daughters, to be married off, than sons. It shows the truth of the saying, Halldor, that “every kin has its coward”. I see only too well now that fathering such sons was Olaf’s great failing. I will address my words to you Halldor...because you’ve taken the lead among your brothers. We will turn back now; I made the journey mainly to remind you of what you seem to have forgotten.Thorgerd’s quest for vengeance even drives her to accompany the party that sets out to kill Bolli in retaliation for Kjartan. She states that “No one knows better than I do that it is likely my sons will require some urging yet.” When Bolli was cornered, Thorgerd “urged them not to hesitate to finish Bolli off and put some space between trunk and head.”

<mask> Egilssdottir also makes an appearance in The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpant-Tongue (Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu). This saga tells the tale of two men competing for Helga the Fair, Egil Skallagrimsson’s granddaughter and Thorgerd’s niece. Thorgerd plays a part in saving the life of Helga when she was an infant. Helga’s father Thorstein demanded that his infant daughter be exposed to the elements to die. His wife Jofrid secretly had the girl sent to Thorgerd to raise, while telling her husband Thorstein that she had followed his wishes. Six years later Thorstein went to attend a feast at his brother-in-law Olaf

 the Peacock’s estate.He noticed Helga sitting in the hall and remarked on her beauty. Thorgerd then told him the truth;
“Kinsman”, she answered, “to tell the truth, this beautiful girl is your daughter, not mine.” Then she told him everything that had happened, and begged him to forgive both her and his wife for this wrong. Thorstein was so taken with the child that he forgave the women. He considered himself lucky that they had fixed his wrongs and he took his daughter home. <mask> Egilsdottir fits a common character archetype in Norse sagas; the female inciter. In this instance a woman manipulates her husband or other male kin to exact revenge for her. In Scandinavian society at the time, women were unable to physically seek vengeance; therefore they used the means at their disposal, namely words and influence, to accomplish their goals.Notes

<mask>, CBE (31 May 188912 September 1990) was an English actress. Early life
She was born in London; her German-born grandparents moved to the United Kingdom, where her grandfather <mask> was a merchant in London. <mask> was educated at Coombe Hill School in Surrey, a progressive co-educational school which disliked petitionary prayer and whose advanced biology classes studied Darwin's On the Origin of Species. <mask> took part in an anti-blood sports demonstration, during which pupils captured the fox from the local hunt. She was also active in the South Place Ethical Society during the 1920s, where her father Clarence H<mask> took his family for many years to hear Moncure Conway lecture as an alternative to attending a religious Sunday service. Clarence ran a class for the study of Herbert Spencer, contributed to the South Place magazine on rationalist matters and wrote a treatise on birth control which he circulated privately among his family. Career

Although better known as a stage actress - she first appeared on the stage in 1909 - she made her film debut in 1921, and became known for playing slightly dotty old ladies in many British films from the 1930s to the 1960s.In 1933, <mask> together with Nicholas Hannen, took a company which included Hannen's daughter by his first marriage, Hermione Hannen, on a well received tour of the Far East and Australia. Her most memorable stage credits included Mrs Malaprop in The Rivals, Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest and a double-act, with her good friend Dame Sybil Thorndike, as the murderous spinster sisters in Arsenic and Old Lace. Her film and television career lasted into the 1960s, and included roles in The Citadel (1938), Night of the Demon (1957) and The Avengers (1964, 1965). She was also a regular cast member in screen adaptations of Charles Dickens' novels.

From 1922 she met and started living with fellow actor Nicholas "Beau" Hannen (son of Sir Nicholas Hannen).Hannen was married and his wife refused a divorce. In 1928, <mask> formally changed her name to <mask> Hannen, although she continued to use <mask> professionally. In 1960, she and Hannen were married after his wife died. At the age of ninety, <mask> told the interviewer David McGillivray that "she hadn't been made a Dame because for most of her life she lived with a man who wasn't her husband." Portraits

By the time <mask> returned to England Anson had arranged for the young lieutenant's first command, the 12-gun sloop Hawke.

Taken captive to France, <mask> was quickly exchanged through the intercession of his family.

He was involved in a minor diplomatic incident while calling on the Spanish port of Cádiz, when one of his junior officers incorrectly responded to salutes fired by Spanish naval vessels entering the harbour.

<mask> (13 May 180422 September 1857) was an Italian patriot, statesman and leader of the Risorgimento in Venice. He is considered by many Italian historians a hero of the Italian unification. Early and family life

<mask> was born <mask> in Ramo Astori, Venice, where his birthplace is commemorated by a plaque. His mother Anna Maria Bellotto, an Italian, came from Padua, while his father Pietro Antonio Fonseca (1762–1829) came from a converted family that was originally Jewish: <mask>'s grandfather was Samuele Medina, from Verona. Samuele converted to Christianity in 1759 and took the name Manin because <mask>, the last Doge of Venice, sponsored his conversion. <mask> studied law at Padua, and then practised at the bar in Venice, his native city. A man of great learning and a profound jurist, from an early age he held a deep hatred for Austria.Manin's niece was the painter and printmaker Leopoldina Zanetti Borzino. Revolutionary leader
The heroic but hopeless attempt of the Bandiera Brothers, Venetians who had served in the Austrian navy against the Neapolitan Bourbons in 1844, was the first event to cause an awakening of Venetian patriotism. In 1847 Manin presented a petition to the Venetian congregation, a powerless consultative assembly tolerated by Austria, informing the emperor of the wants of the nation. He was arrested on a charge of high treason (18 January 1848), but his arrest only served to agitate of the Venetians, who were beginning to appreciate Manin.

The Austrians soon lost control of the city: the Arsenal was seized by revolutionaries and, under the direction of Manin, a civic guard and a provisional government were instituted. The Austrians withdrew from Venice on 26 March and Manin became president of the re-created Republic of San Marco.He had already been in favour of Italian unity, but not anxious for annexation to Piedmont because he would have liked to enlist French aid. He gave in to the will of the majority of his compatriots and resigned his powers to the Piedmontese commissioners on 7 August. But after the Piedmontese defeat at Custoza, and the armistice in which King Charles Albert abandoned Lombardy and Venetia to Austria, the Venetians attempted to lynch the royal commissioners, whose lives Manin saved with difficulty. An assembly was summoned, and a triumvirate formed with Manin at its head. Towards the end of 1848 the Austrians, having been heavily reinforced, reoccupied all the Venetian mainland. The citizens, however, hard-pressed and threatened with a siege, showed the greatest devotion to the cause of freedom, all sharing in the dangers and hardships and giving what they could afford to the state treasury. Early in 1849 Manin was again chosen president of the Republic, and conducted the defence of the city with great ability.After the defeat of Charles Albert's troops at Novara in

 March, the Venetian assembly voted "Resistance at all costs!" and granted Manin unlimited powers. Meanwhile, the Austrian forces closed round the city. Manin showed a good capability of organization, in which he was ably seconded by the Neapolitan general, Guglielmo Pepe, who led the Neapolitan army to defend Venice against his king's order. But on 26 May the Venetians were forced to abandon Fort Marghera, halfway between the city and the mainland; food was becoming scarce, on 19 June the powder magazine blew up, and in July cholera broke out. The Austrian batteries, subsequently, began to bombard Venice itself, and when the Sardinian fleet withdrew from the Adriatic the city was also attacked by sea, while demagogues caused internal trouble. At last, on 24 August 1849, when all provisions and ammunition were exhausted, Manin, who had courted death in vain, succeeded in negotiating an honorable capitulation, on terms of amnesty to all save Manin himself, Pepe and some others, who were to go into exile.On 27 August <mask> left Venice forever on board a French ship. Exile and last years
His wife died at Marseille, and he himself reached Paris broken in health and almost destitute, having spent all his fortune for Venice. In Paris he maintained himself by teaching and became a leader among the Italian exiles. There he became a convert from republicanism to monarchism, being convinced that only under the auspices of King Victor Emmanuel could Italy be freed, and together with Giorgio Pallavicini and Giuseppe La Farina he

His last years were embittered by the terrible sufferings of his daughter, who died in 1854. He died on 22 September 1857, and was buried in Ary Scheffer's family tomb. In 1868, two years after the Austrians finally departed from Venice, his remains were brought to his native city and honoured with a public funeral.The gondola carrying his coffin was decorated with bow "surmounted by the lion of Saint Mark, resplendent with gold", bore "the Venetian standard veiled with black crape", and had "two silver colossal statues waving the national colours of Italy". The statues represented the unification of Italy and Venice. The funeral procession was described as "magnificent".

<mask> (born 28 June 1959) is an artist and poet of the Pitcairn Islands, a remote British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific.

As an artist, she works with tapa cloth, a Polynesian tradition. She has also published a cookbook featuring Pitcairn Island cuisine. <mask> has also served as the island's nurse, its only police officer, a ham radio operator, and as a member of the territory's governing council, among many other roles.

In 2011, she was one of seven artists awarded a Commonwealth Connections International Arts Residency, which provided a grant of £8,000 that allowed her to work with other artists in New Zealand. She is the first recipient from the Pitcairn Islands. Pitcairn has a small population. The island's 48 residents often serve in several capacities or jobs. <mask> describes her many roles on her personal website:

 was given the job because everyone on the island had a "job".The island's jail was described as "the size of a garden shed and riddled with termites", and its cells had been used to store building materials and lifejackets. When the island came into the international spotlight due to a sexual abuse scandal, a law enforcement professional sent to the island criticized their practices, stating "It was glaringly obvious ... that their standard of policing was not really adequate." <mask> was elected on 15 December 2004 to the Island Council. As a radio operator, she broadcasts under the call sign VP6MW. Pitcairn's sexual abuse trial

<mask> was an outspoken critic of accusations that the island's girls had been sexually abused when young, and the prosecution of a selected number of Pitcairn's male residents. She claimed that young girls on Pitcairn customarily became sexually active after age 12, a practice of underage sex that had been accepted as a Polynesian tradition since the settlement of the island in 1790. One resident, Olive Christian, said of her girlhood, "We all thought sex was like food on the table."Many Pitcairn Island men blamed the British police for persuading the women involved to press charges. Some of the women agreed, and advocated a conspiracy theory that the trial was, in <mask>'s words, "a British plot to jail the [community's] able-bodied men and 'close' the island", and that the British officials "picked on all the viable young men, the ones who are the backbone of this place". A majority of the island's residents denied or excused the allegations. During the trial, <mask> circulated a poem titled "Is Seven a Lucky Number?" that criticized the British government and lawyers'

 attempts to impose British law against their island's traditions. "There's never an age consent set in our Laws

As the case wore on, <mask> reflected that "the bottom had fallen out of our world ... We lost our trust for each other." Her brother, <mask>, who was accused of "indecent assault", was the only defendant among the seven accused to be acquitted on 24 October 2004.<mask> was convicted of assault during a drunken disagreement with another resident when the two were angered by tensions over the sexual abuse matter. The case was prosecuted by a Crown prosecutor and tried by a New Zealand magistrate. <mask> was fined NZ$60. The case cost the British government NZ$40,000 to prosecute. Works

<mask> (born c. 1949) is a former American football player. He played at the defensive guard position as a walk-on for the University of Michigan from 1968 to 1970. He was chosen as the co-captain and Most Valuable Player on the 1970 Michigan Wolverines football team and a first-team All-American that same year. Early years
A native of Detroit, Michigan, <mask> is the youngest child in a family of five boys and two girls. He attended Detroit's Martin Luther King High School where he played football at the tight end position. University of Michigan

Walk-on status
Because of his size, <mask> was not heavily recruited by major college teams. Interviewed in 1970, <mask> recalled, "I was a tight end in high school and I didn't get many scholarship offers because my size was marginal.You don't see too many 5-10 tight ends around." <mask> enrolled at the University of Michigan on a Michigan Opportunity Grant, a scholarship offered to under-privileged students with strong academic backgrounds. Interviewed by a reporter from the UPI in 1969, <mask> said, "It's an academic scholarship. One of those kind they give to ghetto kids. My family was too poor to send me to school." <mask> tried out for the Michigan football team at the invitation of George Mans, Michigan's offensive ends coach. He recalled that, during his try-out, they threw a ball to him, and the ball bounced off his head, resulting in his being converted into a lineman.He played briefly for Michigan's freshman football team in 1967 but quit midway through the season to concentrate on his studies. 1968 season
In the spring of 1968, <mask> tried out for Michigan's varsity football team. He made the cut and was listed as a fourth-string defensive lineman at the conclusion of spring practice. Damer recalled, "I just stuck it out, figuring I'd get to play some." By the time the 1968 football season began, <mask> had been promoted to second-string status. The coaching staff was impressed by <mask>'s quickness, and he played in

 all 10 games for the 1968 team, including 7 games as the starting middle guard. His rise in 1968 from the fourth-string to starter was so rapid that his picture did not appear in the team's 1968 game program.The Toledo Blade in October 1968 ran a feature story on <mask> and noted: "At 5-10, 200 pounds, <mask> isn't big enough to play Big 10 football. Try telling that to <mask>. ... <mask> is a walk-on (non-scholarship) who made it big for the Wolverines. He's small, but he is tough, and he loves to play football." <mask> finished the 1968 season as one of Michigan's statistical leaders on defense with 72 tackles, including 50 solo tackles and 16 tackles for loss. 1969 season
In 1969, <mask> started all 11 games for the Wolverines at the middle guard position on defense and also started three games as a guard on offense. He led the team with 90 tackles during the 1969 season.<mask> was routinely double-teamed in 1969 and 1970. Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler said of <mask>, "I don't think any team in the country can adequately contain <mask> with one-on-one blocking." <mask> expressed frustration at being double-teamed, but recognized its value to the team: "Sometimes, I'm even getting triple-teamed on the pass rush. But that's got to help our defense so it's okay with me. If they do that, it leaves eight or nine men to play offense and we have ten men to play defense." <mask> was named United Press International's Midwest Lineman of the Week after recording nine solo tackles and two assists against Minnesota in 1969. Following the game, <mask> explained to reporters "with a trace of incredulity" in his voice, "They didn't double team me."In Michigan's rivalry game against Ohio State in 1969, he had 13 tackles, leading The Michigan Daily to note that <mask> had demonstrated to his Ohio State counterpart, All-American Jim Stillwagon, "just who is the best middle guard in the conference." 1970 season

 Wolverines football team, serving as co-captain with quarterback Don Moorhead. He started all 10 games as the Wolverines middle guard on defense and accumulated 69 tackles, including 12 tackles for loss. At the end of the 1970 season, <mask> was selected by his teammate as the team's Most Valuable Player along with Don Moorhead. He was also selected by the Central Press Association in 1970 as a first-team All-American and by the Associated Press as a second-team All-American. Reputation for quickness
<mask> developed a reputation as one of the quickest players at his position, as reflected in the following comments from football reporters:
Prior to the 1970 Rose Bowl, a Southern California newspaper said of <mask>: "Quickness is his biggest asset. He is as fast as any player on the team, has great upper arm and shoulder strength and is strong enough to keep from being knocked out of a play."In November 1970, the Associated Press ran a feature story referring to <mask> as a "cat-quick" middle guard whose "forte is superquick lateral movement." The Christian Science Monitor referred to <mask> as "the 'unblockable' middle guard <mask>." The Chicago Tribune wrote, "Tho not physically imposing at 5-11 and 220 pounds, he uses great quickness to blow past a blocker." When Bo Schembechler took over as Michigan's coach in 1969, <mask> acknowledged being "a little overweight" at 223 pounds. When <mask> told the new coach he could run 40 yards in 4.6 seconds, Schembechler said, "Aw come on, you're kidding me." To Schembechler's surprise, <mask> proceeded to run the 40 in 4.6 seconds. <mask> was not selected in the 1971 NFL Draft, and the omission of the "cat-quick" middle guard was reported as one of the "conspicuous absences from the draft lists."<mask> noted that he didn't expect to get drafted, although he added he would like a chance to become pro.

texts: <mask>, Jr. (April 24, 1946 – March 11, 2013) was a Canadian lawyer and political activist based in Victoria, British Columbia, who was known nationally for his defence of clients such as Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel, former Nazi prison guard Michael Seifert and right-wing extremist Paul Fromm among others. <mask> was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and graduated from the law school of the University of British Columbia in 1970. He was the founder and general counsel of the Canadian Free Speech League and was best known for defending individuals accused of Nazi war crimes or racist, anti-Semitic or neo-Nazi activity. He was also the founder and leader of the Western Canada Concept, a separatist party which ran in British Columbia and federally, and the Western Block Party, a right-wing federal political party advocating the separation of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba from Canadian Confederation. He first came to national attention as a lawyer in 1983 when he became James Keegstra's attorney after the schoolteacher was fired from his job and criminally charged with willfully promoting hatred by teaching his students that there was a Jewish conspiracy, along with spreading other antisemitic ideas. His defence of Keegstra brought him to the attention of Ernst Zündel who retained <mask> in September 1984 to defend him against criminal charges related to Holocaust denial with co-counsel Barbara Kulaszka. <mask> enlisted the assistance of outspoken civil libertarian Dr. Gary Botting, who in 1984 had published a book on George Orwell and Jehovah's Witnesses.<mask> subpoenaed Dr. Botting as an expert witness to both the Zündel trial in Toronto and the Keegstra trial in Red Deer Alberta, where Botting had conducted a survey demonstrating that Keegstra could not get a fair trial in Red Deer because of pretrial publicity. The Alberta Court of Appeal ruled that the judge should have allowed Botting's evidence to be heard. Later, Botting became the first recipient of the George Orwell Free Speech Award after giving up his teaching post  as a professor of English at Red Deer

However, Botting subsequently went to great lengths to distance himself from <mask>. "It is clear to me that your Canadian Free Speech League is merely a front for an anti-semitic, Pro-Nazi agenda." Botting wrote in a public letter to <mask>, continuing: "In the Canadian Free Speech League, the only opinions truly allowed are those which conform to your own.And those opinions, as you well know, are antisemitic and almost blatantly pro-Nazi. It is no coincidence that both you and Ernst Zündel usually celebrate your birthdays [Both are on April 24] on April 20, Hitler's Birthday. It is no coincidence that most of the Canadian Free Speech League annual awards ceremonies have been held as close to that date as possible." <mask> would act as Zündel's attorney in several cases over the subsequent two decades up to Zündel's deportation from Canada in 2005. In addition to his extensive work on freedom of expression cases, <mask> participated in wide range of causes touching on issues of individual liberties more generally. He represented numerous individuals in civil actions against the police, in an effort to ensure police accountability, and in 1987 successfully represented Gary Botting in a defamation suit against Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). "There is a growing gulf between the police and public trust, which can only be fixed and crossed with any hope of restoration of faith when the police are judged for their conduct by the public themselves and not by their constant co-workers in the system itself", <mask> wrote in a letter to the Victoria Times-Colonist."The essential ingredient of a society where citizens and police are in agreement on the enforcement of the law is simply that the law applies to police and citizens in equal measure. The police cannot be above the law. With the present system of accountability, that impression is well-founded." <mask> also acted in child apprehension cases, most notably that of Paul and Zabeth

From 2007 to 2010, <mask> represented Bruce and Donna Montague in a constitutional challenge of Canada's gun registry and other firearms laws. The constitutional challenge was ultimately dismissed by the Ontario Court of Appeal, but <mask> continued to represent the Montagues in their efforts to resist civil and criminal forfeiture applications by the Crown. In January 2012, <mask> became the first lawyer to successfully challenge an application under British Columbia's Civil Forfeiture Act, when the BC Supreme Court found that the retroactive forfeiture of a truck subsequent to a criminal prosecution was "clearly not in the interests of justice".This decision was upheld on appeal. In September, 2012, <mask> successfully defended Terry Tremaine, a Regina math instructor charged under Section 319(2) of the Criminal Code, by establishing that there had been unreasonable delay in bringing the case against him to trial.

In 2005, <mask> announced his intention to form a new federal political party to be called the Western Block Party which would be a Western Canadian version of the Bloc Québécois in that its role in the House of Commons of Canada would be to act as a regional separatist party.

Professional misconduct

Law Society of Upper Canada
The Law Society of Upper Canada looked into disciplining <mask> for his conduct during the Imre Finta trial. The Society's discipline chair, Harvey Strosberg, declined to issue a complaint against <mask> but stressed that <mask>'s remarks during the trial "clearly disclose that he has crossed the line separating counsel from client: he has made common cause with a small, lunatic, anti-Semitic fringe element in our society. We know who Mr. <mask> is.Suffering Mr. <mask>'s words and opinions is part of the price one pays for upholding and cherishing freedom of speech in a free and democratic society. And society must be willing to accept this price. Mr. <mask>'s anti-Semitic comments were not akin to the cry of fire in a crowded theatre. His theatre was mostly empty." The Law Society of British Columbia
On 11 September 2007, The Law Society of British Columbia issued a hearing report finding that <mask> had committed professional misconduct in his civil litigation practice. <mask> had been cited for his role in preparing and signing certain improper documents headed "Subpoena for Documents" and having them served on parties uninvolved in the litigation. <mask> was seeking, from a hospital, a bank, and a traveller cheque company, private health and financial records.In British Columbia, according to expert testimony heard by the Law Society's hearing panel, "litigants are not entitled to compel testimony

The Law Society hearing panel found that some of <mask>'s testimony in his own defence was not believable. The panel found that <mask>'s conduct was dishonourable, and that in his zeal to pursue the case on behalf of his clients, <mask> had overlooked his professional responsibilities. On 17 December 2007, the Law Society's panel gave its decision on the penalty to be imposed on <mask>. The panel noted that prior to this incident, <mask>'s professional conduct record had been unblemished for over 30 years. The panel accepted that <mask>'s professional misconduct arose out of stress and an excessive zeal to help his client, rather than a desire for personal gain. The panel therefore imposed a fine on <mask> of $2,500.The panel ordinarily would have ordered <mask> to pay the Law Society's costs and expenses of the hearing, which in this case amounted to approximately $50,000. However, the panel had evidence that <mask>'s annual income over the past five years had averaged slightly over $50,000 net before tax. Therefore, the panel required <mask> to pay $20,000 in respect of costs, rather than the full amount. Death

<mask>  (9 December 1924 – 26 March 2016) was a British international relations specialist known for his work on Cold War geopolitics and Soviet naval strategy. A former Royal Navy commander, he was Professor of Maritime and Strategic Studies at Dalhousie University in Canada and then a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC. He was a well-known critic of nuclear deterrence theory. Early life
<mask> grew up in British India, where his father worked for Burmah Oil Company until the 1929–34 depression. The family then moved via Lausanne, Switzerland, to settle in Swanage in England. He attended the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, from age 13 and graduated top of his term in 1942, winning the King's Dirk which was presented to him by George VI. In May that year 17-year-old MccGwire went to sea as a midshipman, by which time half of the Dartmouth term who had graduated a year earlier had already lost their lives.In August he was on  (a battleship famous for its role in the Bismarck sinking) when it took part in the celebrated Malta relief convoy named Operation Pedestal, in which 13 British ships were sunk but the oil tanker  made it through. Having been involved in the North African, Sicilian and then Normandy landings, he then moved to Motor Torpedo Boats, joining MTB 476 of the 30th MTB Flotilla as a First Lieutenant. In the year that they were together, these nine MTBs sank six German vessels and damaged another 12 off the coasts of France, the Netherlands and Belgium. The high speed boats each had three super-charged Merlin engines – the same as used in the Spitfires, running on high octane fuel. MTBs attacked at close quarters

 at night, with double-skin mahogany hulls that did little to protect the crew or fuel from gunfire. The 30th Flotilla was a close-knit group of men, many of whom stayed in touch until the end of their lives. At the end of WWII <mask> was on a British destroyer in the Pacific.Then in 1946-47 he moved to a frigate in the Mediterranean, , on the Palestine Patrol, which involved leading boarding parties and taking control of the ships that were illegally carrying Jewish immigrants to Palestine. In September that year the Royal Navy sent <mask> to Downing College, Cambridge, to learn Russian along with seven others, including the later defector George Blake. He then returned to sea as a navigator in the Arctic, with the UK's Fisheries Protection around Norway – adjacent to the Soviet Northern Fleet. Then in 1951 <mask> was loaned to the Australian Navy in a training role. Naval intelligence
In 1952 <mask> joined GCHQ to develop naval intelligence on the Soviet Navy, then returned to sea, and in 1956-58 served as an assistant naval attaché at the British embassy in Moscow, accompanied by his family. Under constant surveillance, he still managed to travel within the USSR and provided various military intelligence before modern satellite data was available. He also started building up his knowledge of Soviet geopolitics.Promoted to commander on 31 December 1958, he undertook further study in the UK and USA. As a 'war planner' he worked in the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT) in the US. It was his time in the US, working on a multi-national staff, that opened <mask>'s eyes to what one can achieve when unconstrained by deeply ingrained service

 deference and loyalties. At that point he realised that he wanted to join an international organisation such as the UN. But before leaving the Royal Navy, <mask> wanted to head up the Soviet Naval Intelligence Section in the British Defence Intelligence Staff, which he felt needed serious restructuring. The UK was twenty years into the Cold War, yet when he got this job <mask> was the first head of the section to know the language, to have worked in Russia, to have had experience of another agency and to be well acquainted with the Americans. He completely reshaped the intelligence effort to ask new questions.His aim was not simply to assess the military threat – how many ships the Soviets had – but to understand what the Soviet Navy was for. It was for his contribution to British naval intelligence that <mask> received his OBE in the 1968 New Year Honours. In the words of his successor as Head of the Soviet Naval Intelligence Section, Commander Peter Kimm, "it is my sincere belief that he [<mask>] has succeeded in contributing something tangible to the security of the country and to the stability of the world in a way which is not given to many of us to do." Academic career
His colleagues were surprised when <mask> quit his promising naval career and retired in 1967 aged 42, having just been told that a promotion to Captain was imminent. His aim was to work in the Third World as a Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme, and the first requirement was to have a degree, so he became an undergraduate student in International Politics and Economics at University of Wales, Aberystwyth. While at Aberystwyth he also started and


texts: ran the Interstate Journal of International Affairs, wrote a book on the Soviet Navy for the UK's Institute of Strategic Studies, spoke at numerous specialist conferences on this subject, and "in spite of his age, he experienced no difficulty in slipping into college life as a popular, if slightly formidable figure". A new national quota system thwarted <mask>'s hopes of joining the UN.After a year as a lecturer in the postgraduate Strategic Studies programme at University of Wales, Aberystwyth, in 1970 he became Professor of Maritime and Strategic Studies at Dalhousie University, Canada, a post gained on the basis of his experience and previous publications. He stayed there until 1979, publishing three edited books and playing the leading role in founding the modern study of Soviet naval power. In 1979 he became a Senior Fellow of the Brookings Institution, a highly respected think-tank in Washington DC, USA. It was here, at a time when the 'second Cold War' was underway, that MccGwire wrote Military Objectives in Soviet Foreign Policy. This was a seminal work, as it focused on the Soviet viewpoint and way of thinking, based on extensive analysis of Russian sources of information; whereas Soviet policy was usually analysed in terms of Western interests and vulnerabilities. It was published in January 1987, the same month as Gorbachev's speech to the Communist Party (CPSU) Plenum pushing glasnost and perestroika. The book traces the causes of this monumental reorientation of Soviet policy back to the bankruptcy of established Soviet policies, autonomous new rethinking, and concern about the danger of war, explaining the influence of military

 requirements on Soviet foreign policy.In January 1991, a year after the Berlin Wall came down, Brookings published <mask>'s follow-up book Perestroika and Soviet National Security, in which he was able to explain what led to perestroika and the resulting implications for future relations with Russia. Furthermore, whereas so many commentators assumed that perestroika was a direct result of the confrontational policies of the Reagan administration during the 1980s, <mask> argued that Reagan almost certainly delayed the process. <mask> semi-retired in 1990, joining the University of Cambridge as a visiting professor for three years in their Global Security Programme. At Cambridge, he enlarged the terrain of security studies to include economic and social development, and environmental sustainability, while continuing to argue for an end to nuclear deterrents. In 2006 <mask> participated in the national debate on whether to replace the UK Trident submarines, debating the matter at the Royal Institute of International Affairs with <mask> and others, and to which the July 2006 issue of International Affairs was devoted. He continued publishing and commenting on world affairs. Understanding Soviet strategy
MccGwire was best known for the 'MccGwire thesis': that the Soviet military buildup during the Cold War was largely due to fear of attack, and was thus a defensive measure.He confirms this with extensive empirical analysis of military strategy, and by querying political motivations. He strongly challenged the prevailing Cold War view that Moscow was planning pre-emptive military aggression against the West. This view, he said, had been based on

 preconceptions, inadequate analysis and poor understanding of Soviet policy-making by Western intelligence, and could have had severe repercussions. His first article in the Naval Review argued against Britain's nuclear deterrent for this reason, and many other articles and two books later followed. For example, he argued that the type of armaments added to Soviet vessels in the 1950s showed that they were added to protect trade routes. MccGwire developed 'objectives analysis' to track changes in military hardware and strategy, based on painstaking analysis of personnel, equipment and geopolitical intentions. Despite this, the British and USA military never fully accepted the 'MccGwire thesis' as it became known.At Brookings, he challenged the Reagan military build-up as provocative and unnecessary. He was a frequent public commentator, including a televised debate against the leading neoconservative Richard Perle. He identified a tipping point in Soviet strategy: from studying Soviet military writings and identifying changes in Soviet deployment of military forces, he identified 1966 as the start of a shift away from the 1950s Soviet assumption that war would inevitably lead to an all-out nuclear exchange. By 1987, the threat of global war became downgraded and armed forces withdrew from Eastern Europe. At this point in time, prevention of global warfare became the primary aim in Moscow, where Gorbachev wanted to defuse tensions and downgrade military spending. In sum, <mask> believed the end of the Cold War was due to Soviet initiatives rather than the manoeuvring of the Western powers. Personal life

Michail Jurjevič Hraboŭski (Belarusian: Міхаіл Юр'евiч Грабоўскі; born 31 January 1984), better known as <mask> (Russian: Михаил Грабовский), is a German-born Belarusian professional ice hockey coach and former player. Grabovski currently serves as an assistant coach for HC Dinamo Minsk in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Prior to his coaching career, Grabovski played as a centre in the National Hockey League (NHL) for 10 seasons. Early life
<mask> was born in Potsdam, East Germany, where his father, Yury, worked in construction for the Soviet military. The family returned to their native Belarus (then a Soviet Socialist Republic) when he was three years old. Playing career
<mask> was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens 150th overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and played his first NHL game with Montreal on 6 January 2007 against the New York Rangers. He played three games in the NHL before being sent back down to Montreal's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs.He helped them win the Calder Cup as AHL champions in the 2006–07 season. <mask> was called up to play in a few games with the Canadiens during the 2007–08 season but did not see much playing time due to his low position on the team's depth chart. <mask> recorded his first NHL assist on 20 October 2007, against the Buffalo Sabres and his first goal two days later against the Boston Bruins. On 3 July 2008, <mask> was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for the draft rights to Greg Pateryn and a second-round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. As a 25-year-old, Grabovski went on to finish his first full season in Toronto with 20 goals and 48 points, leading all NHL Eastern Conference rookies in scoring. The Maple Leafs rewarded Grabovski for his rookie season performance by re-signing him to a three-year, $8.7 million contract carrying an average annual cap hit of $2.9 million. His 58 points in the 2010–11 season was the highest among Maple Leaf centres since Mats Sundin's 78 points in the 2007–08 season.On 6 March 2012, Toronto re-signed <mask> to a five-year, $27.5 million contract carrying an

texts: average annual cap hit of $5.5 million. On 25 September 2012, due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout that cancelled the first three months of the 2012–13 NHL season, Grabovski signed with CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). When NHL play returned, following a 2012–13 season in which he recorded only 9 goals and 16 points in 48 games, on 4 July 2013, <mask> was unexpectedly placed on waivers and listed to be bought-out by the Maple Leafs. On 23 August 2013, as a free agent following his buy-out, Grabovski signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Washington Capitals. In his first regular season game with the Capitals on 1 October 2013, Grabovski scored a hat-trick in a 6–4 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. <mask> completed the 2013–14 season with a respectable 35 points in 58 games as the Capitals failed to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in seven seasons. On 2 July 2014, as a free agent, Grabovski signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the New York Islanders.His tenure with the Islanders was largely affected by injury, with a lingering concussion ruling him out for the entirety of the 2016–17 season. Grabovski joined the Islanders along with his Maple Leafs linemate and friend Nikolay Kulemin, making it known to teams during free agency that they wanted to sign together. On 21 June 2017, the Vegas Golden Knights selected Jean-François Bérubé from the Islanders in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. Berube was selected with the condition that <mask>'s final year of contract be traded to the Golden Knights along with a first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and prospect Jake Bischoff. On 14 September 2017, Grabovski attended his physical for the Vegas Golden Knights with the desire to play for the team. However, he did not appear in a single game for the Golden Knights. In June 2019, Grabovski announced his retirement, stating "I decided for myself that staying at home is not the best option.I need to do something. As a player I can no longer participate in games, so I want to try myself as a coach."

 Coaching career
On June 15, 2019, <mask> was announced as an assistant coach with HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL. Controversies
In March 2008, after being a healthy scratch for a game against the Phoenix Coyotes, Grabovski left the Montreal Canadiens and flew to Los Angeles to consult with his agent. The incident prompted his trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs that summer. In January 2009, Grabovski was involved a scuffle with fellow Belarusian Sergei Kostitsyn during a game between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens. The two had been in a feud since Grabovski's days with the Canadiens.Prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the head of the Belarusian national hockey program had to intervene in order for the two players to be able to coexist on the same team. On 19 February 2010, <mask> was arrested in Vancouver after becoming involved in a street scuffle. He was out of the Maple Leafs lineup with a broken wrist at the time of the arrest and was in Vancouver attending the 2010 Winter Olympics. Court documents alleged that Dylan Richardson was punched in the face and knocked unconscious by Grabovski, who then assaulted Richardson's wife by also punching her in the face. Grabovski inadvertently ended Chris Pronger's career when he accidentally hit him in the side of the eye with his stick. On 9 February 2013, Grabovski was accused of biting Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadiens during a scrum along the boards. The NHL conducted a telephone hearing with the players involved, but could not determine conclusively if Grabovski had indeed bitten Pacioretty.However, on 20 May 2013, more than three months later, Grabovski admitted that he did bite Pacioretty, stating in an interview, "He was choking me and I bit him. Don't stick your hands where you shouldn't." On 3 July 2013, after learning that his contract was being bought-out by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Grabovski was very critical of Toronto's head coach at the time, Randy Carlyle, in an expletive-filled interview with TSN. "I play in the fucking Russian KHL, I make lots of fucking points and what's going to happen? He make me fucking play

 on the fourth line and he put me in the playoffs on the fourth line and third line again," said Grabovski. "I don't feel any support from this fucking idiot." Some controversy on Grabovski's nationality was discussed on the 7 February 2020 edition of the Toronto-based OverDrive sports radio show.<mask> is known to be Belarusian despite the fact he was born in Germany; hosts Brian Hayes and Jeff O'Neill debated whether he should be considered of German descent, in regards to how many German nationals have played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. For the sake of the argument, <mask> is indeed Belarusian, and should not be considered German. International play

<mask> has represented Belarus in international play. He scored four goals and was the first star in one game (against tournament hosts Austria) in the 2005 IIHF World Championship. <mask> was selected to play for his country at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. However, he did not play due to injury. However, a few months later, he participated in the 2010 IIHF World Championship for Belarus.<mask> was named captain of Belarus's roster on the eve of 2011 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia. In total, <mask> has played in seven major international tournaments for Belarus. Personal life
<mask> and his wife Kate Van Alstyne had their first child, a daughter, on 30 December 2010. He missed the Maple Leafs' game against the Columbus Blue Jackets that night to be present at the birth. They had their second child, a son, on 6 December 2011. <mask> and his wife called their son Jagger after The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. A third child was born 13 December 2017.Career statistics

<mask> (born 10 April 1971) is an English former professional footballer and Pro Licensed coach. <mask> is currently working as Academy Director for IFK Mariehamn, a Finnish Veikkausliiga league team that competed in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League. Early life
<mask>, was born in Ashford, Surrey, England on 10.4.1971. <mask> was at Chelsea for a short period before he signed for Egham Town F.C. 's Youth team at 15 and made his senior debut just a year later. <mask> scored on his debut in a 2–0 win v local rivals Chertsey Town. He made a significant number of appearances in their Isthmian, Suburban and Allied Counties Leagues sides during the '87/8 campaign and received their Billy King Most Improved Player trophy.Playing career
In September '88, as a 17-year-old <mask> was signed by then English Football League 3rd Division (now EFL League One) side Aldershot, where he did a one-year apprenticeship; he was Youth Team player of the year and was given a professional contract. <mask> had an illness which kept him out of football for a long period of time but was able to recover to make his Football League debut (a home defeat by Hereford United) on 1.5.89. At the end of season 88/89 <mask> signed another one-year contract: he only made two more Football League appearances but was a regular in the 1st team squad. A highlight of the season was scoring twice against Arsenal in a reserve team fixture, and being involved in Aldershot's FA Cup run which ended in a defeat by West Ham United in a 3rd Round replay, before his release in May '91. <mask> next signed for Isthmian Premier Sutton United, where he played the first half of season 1991/2, scoring on his debut in a 1–0 win over Martin O'Neill's Wycombe Wanderers F.C.

 His 20-odd appearances, including one against Staines Town, prompted Neil Price into signing him. <mask> would remain at Staines until Dec '96, amassing 299 First Team appearances and scoring 80 goals, including netting 31 penalties for the Swans.He helped the Club win a Middlesex Senior and Charity Cup 'double' in '94 scoring in both finals, and the '95 Isthmian Full Members' (Carlsberg) Cup. During 1993/4, he was top scorer with 27 goals, and played in 71 of the club's 72 1st team games; he was voted Players' Player of the Year in 1996, and also gained a Middlesex 'cap' marking 5 games for the senior representative side. Staines were promoted into the Isthmian Premier when finishing 3rd in 1995/6. However, 6 months later, <mask> opted to return to Aldershot by signing for the new Aldershot Town (1992), where he played from Dec '96 to Jan '98, becoming one of only eight players to have represented both the town's original and reformed clubs. He then signed for Isthmian Premier side Basingstoke Town, before unexpectedly securing a deadline day March '99 move to Alan Devonshire's Maidenhead United, for whom his extra time goal helped to defeat Wycombe Wanderers and lift the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup. Coaching career

<mask> Soccer School
Ever since his early days at Aldershot, <mask> had been interested in coaching and passed his Preliminary coaching badge with Dale Banton. Upon his release, he coached children as a career, firstly working with Colin Smith then working successfully with numerous local schools and clubs, achieving unprecedented success with the tiny Our Lady of the Rosary School (Staines).In 1994, he took a Staines Town under- team to Åland, a tour he continued to make annually, winning the Alandia Cup

Remarkably, they were semi-finalists 15 out of 20 years, in a tournament which typically includes around 90 teams. His sides have also performed well in the Arsenal Invitational Tournament, and at events in Denmark. He was also co-founder of Colne Valley Girls FC. Cove FC
Beeks' senior coaching career started in June 1999 when he was appointed Player-Manager of Cove, taking this perennially under-achieving club to a Combined Counties Football League and League Cup double, and the last 16 of the FA Vase. Another highlight of his two seasons there was knocking Bognor Regis Town out of the FA Cup, followed by a narrow loss in a replay to Lewes. Fleet Town FC
Beeks left Cove in Sept '01, and a couple of months later accepted a similar post at Fleet Town, who had made a poor start in the Wessex League.However, only two defeats in 36 games saw them finish runners-up and gain promotion to the Southern League. Fleet were also League Cup finalists. He left Fleet in the wake of budget cuts early the next season, and signed as a player for Winchester City, who romped the Hampshire League (181 goals, 109 points), reached the FA Vase quarter-finals, and lifted the Southampton Senior Cup at St Mary's Stadium. Molesey FC
Beeks started the 2003/4 season playing at Conference club Farnborough Town, but having regained fitness and reached the brink of a 1st Team call, he accepted the offer to manage Molesey.

Three years of progression resulted in a higher league table position each year, culminating in Molesey's highest position in over a decade, including an unbeaten 19 match run, and an Isthmian League Manager of the Month award. Boardroom wranglings and a desire to concentrate on his coaching qualifications saw him step down in summer '07.He had then already become Academy Director for Wealdstone F.C. at Stanmore College. AFC Wimbledon
In the 2008/9 season he took on the role of chief scout at AFC Wimbledon under Terry Brown and was instrumental in the Dons finding <mask>, who was later sold to AFC Bournemouth. AFC Wimbledon were promoted as champions In 2009. Later in the same year he passed the UEFA 'A' Coaching Licence and in 2009/10 season he had a short spell as coach at Mark Butler's Margate F.C. Åland United
In late 2010 <mask> was appointed head coach of Åland United, a professional team in the Naisten Liiga, the top division of women's football in Finland. Åland United finished fourth in 2011, 6 points from gold, and 2nd in 2012, 2 points off the title, and with a new league record for goals scored, which was quite an achievement as the club came through some big financial problems under the guidance of newly appointed Peter Lindbäck in 2012.During this time Åland United signed and developed international players like Pille Raadik (Estonia), Hayley Lauder (Scotland), and numerous Finnish internationals such as Adelina Engman (latterly at Chelsea).

Chief <mask> (c. 1808 – 1855; also known as Wakara, Wahkara, Chief Walker or Colorow) was a Shoshone          leader of the Utah Indians known as the Timpanogo and Sanpete Band. It is not completely clear what cultural group the Utah or Timpanogo Indians belonged to, but they are listed as Shoshone. He had a reputation as a diplomat, horseman and warrior, and a military leader of raiding parties, and in the Wakara War. He was the most prominent Native American chief in the Utah area when the Mormon Pioneers arrived in 1847. One observer described <mask> in 1843 as:
"the principal ruling chief... owing his position to great wealth. He is a good trader, trafficking with the whites and reselling goods to such of his nation as are less skillful in striking a bargain."
