His season seemed to be heading for an anti-climax as he could not win more than one match in any event until he played in the PTC Finals. His aforementioned final saw him finish 17th on the Order of Merit to qualify and he then defeated Ricky Walden 4–1 and came from 3–0 down against Anthony Hamilton to triumph 4–3. The wins kept on coming for <mask> as he knocked out number one seed Mark Allen 4–2 and Marco Fu 4–2 to play in his first ranking event final. After his semi-final match

<mask> (c.1750-1805)  was a doctor, a surgeon, and a notable artist of the early Maritime Fur Trade. His drawings of the people and places he encountered on his voyages show the meticulous precision of a surgeon and scientist rather than the hand of a trained artist. He was also a prominent author and translator of documents on Alchemy and Rosicrucianism, many of which are still in print. Early history

Little is known of <mask>’s early history. His name is probably Swedish, but he is believed to have been born in Germany. He claimed to have been trained as a physician, surgeon and chemist at the University of Strausburg. He served as a surgeon in the Dutch navy from 1763 to 1770, then moved to England.<mask> was employed by the famous naturalist Joseph Banks as a secretary from 1772 to 1775, accompanying the naturalist on a scientific exploration of Iceland. He was then engaged by Captain William Kent of the Royal Navy, a friend of Joseph Banks and collector for him, until 1779. Over the next decade he made at least six voyages as surgeon on merchant vessels, including voyages to Greenland (Spitsbergen), Guinea, and Jamaica. In the late 1780s Bacstrom found a patron, whose name is unknown,  who established him in an expensive laboratory in Marylebone to conduct research in natural philosophy. When his sponsor died in 1789,  <mask> again found himself without work. He eventually received sponsorship  to collect samples for Banks on a voyage around the world via Cape Horn, Nootka Sound, China and the East Indies that was to be undertaken by a group of London merchants as a commercial venture.

 chosen for this voyage were the Butterworth, a former French frigate of 392 tons,  a large sloop named the Jackal (sometimes written as Jackall or Jack Hall), and a smaller sloop named Prince Lee Boo, all under the command of Captain William Brown.They sailed from England in late 1791. By March 1792 they were encamped on Staten Island near Cape Horn, slaughtering seals and boiling their oil. They sailed across the Pacific to the Marquesas Islands in June,  reaching Vancouver Island on the Northwest coast of North America in July 1792. <mask> left the Butterworth at Nootka on Oct. 15 “on account of the ill and mean usage I received from Capt. W. Brown and his Officers.”

He was briefly a guest of the Spanish officers at Nootka before being welcomed on board the Three Brothers, a brig out of Newcastle, sailing with the schooner Prince William Henry. On the Three Brothers, <mask> sailed up into Haida Gwaii and into Southeast Alaska near what is now Sitka. There are many drawings from this period of the voyage.Returning to Nootka Sound, <mask> took passage as surgeon on the American flagged brig Amelia for China. But just outside Macao she was stopped by the British cruiser HMS Lion, and her true papers were found to be French. She was therefore seized as a British prize of war, leaving <mask> stranded in Canton. He eventually signed on as surgeon aboard the Warren Hastings, an ex-East Indiaman of 600 tons flying Genoese colors, with a British captain, and a crew from 13 different nations, bound for the Cape of Good Hope and Ostend. But, led by the French chief mate, the French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian crew mutinied

 and took possession of the ship, confining <mask> and others below deck as prisoners. They then sailed to Mauritius where the ship and her cargo were condemned as a French prize of war. After 6 months in Mauritius, <mask> was able to buy passage on an American ship bound for New York,  but his ship was once again captured by a British naval ship, this time in the Virgin Islands, and once again the ship and cargo were seized as a prize of war.Thanks to help from the governor of the British Virgin Islands, George Leonard, <mask> eventually arrived home in London July 23, 1795,  four years and eight months after he left. Alchemy and Rosicrucianism

<mask> <mask> is considered by some to be “one of the most important scholars of alchemy in the last few centuries.”
While in Mauritius, <mask> was initiated and admitted into the Fraternity of Rosicrucians. on 12 September 1794 by the Comte Louis de Chazal  This Comte de Chazal is said to have been 96 years old at the time of <mask>'s initiation according to McLean. His alchemical knowledge is said to have been transmitted to him in 1740 in Paris, and John W. Hamilton Jones suggests in the introduction to <mask>'s Alchemical Anthology that  Chazal's teacher is said to have been none other than the Count of St. Germain. On returning to London, he proceeded to support himself by publishing both prints of his drawings from his voyages and esoteric texts. He translated Latin, German and French alchemical works into English and worked with members of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and the Theosophy of the 19th century, according to Hockley. <mask>'s translation of Catena Aurea

texts: Homeri (Golden Chain of Homer) was published by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in 1891 in the Theosophical magazine Lucifer.According to Adam McLean, Alexander Tilloch (1759-1825), the founder of the Philosophical Magazine which published Bacstrom's travelogue in 1799, had been a student of Bacstrom. McLean reports in his article that Tilloch's admission document matches almost verbatim with the corresponding document for Bacstrom, giving further indication that the group of Rosicrucians in England  around 1800 known as “Bacstrom Society” actually existed. A remarkable feature of this document is, as McLean notes, the 4th promise insures not to exclude women from initiation. "As there is no distinction of sexes in the spiritual world, neither amongst the blessed Angels nor among the rational immortal spirits of the Human race... our Society does not exclude a worthy woman from being initiated, God himself not having excluded women from partaking of every felicity in the next life." The similarity of the "Philosophical Seal" of the Bacstrom Society of Rosicrucians depicted in Waite  (a triangle and square  inscribed in a circle) with the emblem used by the Lectorium Rosicrucianum today is also striking. Among Bacstrom's circle of associates in London were the physician and astrologer Ebenezer Sibly (1751-ca.1799) and the General Charles Rainsford (1728-1809). From Frederick Hockley, Bacstrom's writings probably came into the hands of William Alexander Ayton (1816-1909), William Wynn Westcott and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, thus influencing the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and thus in turn

Scher was profiled in the first season of the Netflix docu-series Abstract: The Art of Design. Branding & Identities Systems

The Public Theater

In 1994, <mask> was the first designer to create a new identity and promotional graphics system for The Public Theater, a program that became the turning point of identity in designs that influence much of the graphic design created for theatrical promotion and for cultural institutions in general.Based on the challenge to raise public awareness and attendance at the Public Theater along with trying to appeal to a more diverse demographic, <mask> created a graphic language that reflected street typography and graffiti-like juxtaposition. In 1995, <mask> and her Pentagram team created promotional campaigns for the Public Theater's production of Savion Glover's Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk that featured the wood typefaces used throughout The Public Theater's identity. <mask> was inspired by Rob Ray Kelly's American Wood Types and the Victorian theater's poster when she created the cacophony of disparate wood typefaces, silhouetted photographs and bright flat colors for the theater's posters and billboard. <mask> limited her colors to two or three while highlighted the play's title and theater logo that surrounded the tap artist in a typographical be-bop. The design was to appeal to a broad audience from the inner cities to the outer boroughs, especially those who hadn't been attracted to theater. From 1993 to 2005, <mask> worked closely with George C. Wolfe, The Public's producer and Oskar Eustis, who joined as artistic director during the fiftieth anniversary in 2005, on the development of posters, ads, and distinct identities. As part of the anniversary campaign, the identity was redrawn using the font Akzidenz Grotesk.The word "theater" was dropped and emphasis was placed on the word "public". By 2008, the identity was even more definitive as it used a font called Knockout, created by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, which provided affordable

New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park
In 1994, <mask> created the first poster campaign for the New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park production of The Merry Wives of Windsor and Two Gentlemen of Verona, and was borrowed from the tradition of old-fashioned English theater style. This laid the foundation for the new overall identity and visual language that came to define the Public Theater for the rest of the decade and beyond. The designs for the Shakespeare in the Park campaign were seen across New York, including buses, subways, kiosks, and billboards. <mask>'s Shakespeare in the Park campaign had become a seasonal tradition in the city. The identity has progressed over the years, and the Public Theater logo was redesigned in 2005 and 2008.The campaign in 2008 for the productions of Hamlet and Hair utilized the strict 90 degree angles of a De Stijl-inspired grid, a pattern in Manhattan's streetscape. The identity is like New York itself, constantly evolving. In 2010, <mask> designed the New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park poster which presented powerful productions of The Winter's Tale and The Merchant of Venice, starring Al Pacino as Shylock. <mask>'s festival promotional campaign focused on the reminiscent language in both plays by pulling lines from each production to meet in a dimensional expressive of words and typography. This campaign was awarded for Print Regional Design Annual 2011. In

 1964, the Franklin Gothic No.2 logotype was originally designed by Ivan Chermayeff. By 2004, Matthew Carter had redrawn a new custom typeface named MoMA Gothic.Although MoMA's core identity is a well developed iconic museum, applications like the web, print, and physical environment have not been unified or visionary like the museum itself. In order to continually carry the spirit of the institution, the museum hired Pentagram to design a more powerful and integrated comprehensive system. To create a new approach that modernizes the institution's image, <mask> designed a complete methodology for the new system to work at any scale, from an exterior banner to a print advertisement in the newspaper. She designed a strong grid to uniform placement of images and types. The artwork is cropped to maximize visual impact, and each quadrant of a page or a banner has a specific function. A particular image is selected as the signature focus for an exhibit and list of upcoming events unrelated to the featured into a text block. The black on white logotype placed in a vertical position whenever is possible and always bleeds off an edge.Julia Hoffman, MoMA's creative Director for Graphic and Advertising, and her internal team have used the new system and brought the system to life in applications from larger banners and subway posters to the website. The Metropolitan Opera
<mask> and Julia Hoffman designed the new identity for the Metropolitan Opera. The Metropolitan general manager, Peter Gelb, proposed to rebrand the institution and reach wide audiences like the younger generation who had never set foot inside the opera hall. The identity was set in Baskerville and Avenir and the campaign featured a performance of Madama Butterfly. The print ad campaign launched on August 20, 2006 and according to Thomas Michel, the Metropolitan's marketing director, it was a successful sales day in the history of the organization.

 City Ballet, one of the largest and well-known dance companies, founded in 1933 by Lincoln Kirstein and George Balanchine. <mask> designed with Lisa Kitchenberg of Pentagram and the NYCB's Luis Bravo, to create an identity that linked the company's legacy and location to a modern and dramatic new aesthetic.The logo was set in the font DIN, which appears slightly stacked on each layer. The palette was composed of black, white and silvery grays, resembling how the buildings of New York appear sometimes. It has a softened transparency and a subtle gradation of color that includes shades of blue blacks, green blacks and red blacks. <mask> also cropped the images of City Ballet dancers to create more tension and drama. The new identity and graphics appeared on bus shelter, subway poster, magazines and newspapers ads, in the company's programs and website, and in environmental graphics at the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, where the company performs. Period Equity
<mask> worked with associate designer Courtney Gooch to create the identity for Period Equity, a non-profit that is dedicated to providing affordable and safe access to menstrual products in the United States. She worked with Period Equity co-founders, Jennifer Weiss Wolf and Laura Strausfeld, to create the identity.Weiss-Wolf and Strausfeld initially wanted to call their organization "Menstrual Equality", but Scher saw Period Equity as less off-putting. The term "period" is more playful than "menstrual", and allows for more graphic options. When the organization achieves its goal, the name can be shifted to "Equity, Period". This will allow them to later extend their work beyond menstrual inequality into other issues. Scher used the typeface New Rail Alphabet, designed by Margaret Calvert, for its neutral appearance, but replaced its square-edged punctuation with round. The branding concept puts their wordmark in between two big red dots on a white background. These dots are meant to allude to the idea of periods, but they are used

 in a clean and modernist style.The identity also uses copy such as "Periods are not luxuries. Period." to play with the theme. The identity is serious enough for legal work, but also loud and fun, which is necessary when discussing a topic that is normally stigmatized and seen as not appropriate to discuss in public. Microsoft: Windows 8 logo
In 2012, <mask> created a new logo for Windows 8 that takes the logo back to its roots as a window. The logo re-imagines their older four-colour symbol as a more modern geometric shape. Early in the development process, <mask> asked Microsoft, "Your name is Windows.Why are you a flag?" Although Microsoft's original brand started as a window, its graphic evolved into a flag as computing systems became more powerful. As <mask> assumed, the waving flag was most likely the result of comments that a plain window looked too static with severe straight lines. The old logo was flat and drawn in motion, while the new logo can convey actual motion by suggesting dimensionality using lines receding into space. This worked better with the brand, as the name Windows was originally used as a metaphor for seeing into screens. The logo itself is based on classical perspective drawing rather than computerized perspective. The cross bars on the window stay the same size no matter what the size of the logo is, meaning it must be redrawn for each time it increases in size.The focus on the analogy of perspective was used to convey the idea that Microsoft products are tools for individuals to achieve their goals from their own perspective. The logo design is neutral to show that it can work in many situations, and for any user. The new logo is meant to work with the Metro design language of Windows 8. Environmental graphic designs

For the Achievement First Endeavor Middle School at Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, a charter school for grades 5 through 8, <mask> created a program of environmental graphic that helps school interiors to become a better learning environment.She created a vibrant space with bold typography font of Rockwell and simple paint to change the life of its students. With the help of Rogers Marvel Architects, who designed the school as a refurbishment and expansion of the existing building. The design was based on Endeavor's teaching philosophy and a series of motivational slogans used by its teachers. <mask> enlarged these concepts into super-graphics that help define the interior spaces. The graphics appear as an equations form ("Education = Choice", "Education = Freedom") in the hallways and quotations running around the wall of gymnasium and staircase, to encourage students to do better and create a unique environment of their own. Paintings

The Maps
In 2006, an exhibition at Maya Stendhal gallery in New York City, <mask> painted two 9-by-12-foot maps that resembled patchwork quilts from afar, but contain much textual detail. She created lines that represented the separation  of political allies or borders dividing enemies.<mask> created the maps into layers that reference what we think when we think of Japan, Kenya, or the Upper East Side. For instance, The United States (1999) was painted in blocky white print and full with a list of facts that we comprehend when we think about cities. Africa (2003) is represented in a stark black and white palette, hinting at a tortured colonial past. The land of the red rising sun is represented when we think of Japan (2004). This was <mask>'s first solo exhibition as a fine artist and she sold every piece between $40,000 to $135,000. The Maya

 Stendhal's owner decided to extend the exhibition for four weeks, until January 21. Therefore, <mask> decided to produce silk-screened prints of The World that contained large-scale images of cities, states, and continents blanketed with place names and other information.It is full of mistakes, misspellings, and visual allusions to stereotypes of places such as South America, painted with hot colors and has two ovaries on the sides. It was not created to be a reliable map but convey a sense of the places that are mediated and mangled. <mask> has been described as a "maximalist", stating, "Less is more and more is more. It's the middle that's not a good place". <mask> is currently represented by Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. NYC Transit and Manhattan
In 2007, <mask> created screen-prints of NYC Transit and Manhattan that were printed on hand-made deluxe Lana Quarelle paper.

<mask> (born 1969) is a British street photographer and advertising and design photographer. He is based in London and near Lyon, France. Turpin established the first international collective of street photographers, In-Public, in 2000 and was a member until 2018. His work has been published in his own book, On The Night Bus (2016) and in various survey publications, as well as being included in a number of group exhibitions. He publishes through <mask>in Publishing, makes short films, and gives workshops on street photography

Phil Coomes, writing for BBC News in 2009, considered Turpin "one of the best" street photographers. Life and work
<mask> was born and raised in London in 1969. He studied an art and design foundation course at the University of Gloucestershire, specialising in photography; then a BA in photography, film and video at the University of Westminster.Whilst at university he showed his second year photojournalism stories to the picture editor at The Independent and in 1990, aged 20, quit his course to be a press photographer for the newspaper. He left The Independent in 1997 for a career in advertising and design photography that would finance his street photography (for example he photographed the cover of Bridget Jones's Diary (1995) by Helen Fielding). Turpin established the first international collective of street photographers, In-Public, in 2000 with the intention of bringing together like minded photographers to hold exhibitions, produce books and conduct workshops. Colin Westerbeck, writing in Time in 2011, said Turpin was "notable for having been instrumental in a collaborative documentary project", namely In-Public. He left the collective in 2018. In 2010 he established Nick Turpin Publishing which published

texts: 2002 German federal election, <mask> was one of four lead candidates for the PDS, alongside Gabi Zimmer, Petra Pau, and Roland Claus. The party failed to meet the five percent electoral threshold, and only returned two representatives, both directly elected in constituencies. <mask> thus lost his seat in the Bundestag. He was subsequently asked to resign as federal managing officer, and declined to seek re-election in October. However, he was nominated for the position again by PDS leader Lothar Bisky in 2005, and elected to the position in December. He returned to the Bundestag in the 2005 election.After the merger of the PDS into The Left in 2007, <mask> became federal managing officer of the new party. <mask> managed The Left's 2009 federal election campaign. The party won 11.9% of votes nationwide and 76 seats in the Bundestag; he was re-elected at the top position of the party list in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In January 2010, after disputes within the party, <mask> announced he would not seek re-election as federal managing officer at the party congress in May. Later in January, he became deputy chairman of the Left's Bundestag group. In this position, he focused on the national budget and finances. In January 2012, Der Spiegel reported that 27 of the Left's 76 members of the Bundestag were under surveillance by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, including <mask>.The surveillance of Bundestag deputies, including many such as <mask> who were not connected with groups classified as anti-constitutional, was criticised by the FDP, SPD, and Greens. The monitoring of Bundestag deputies without clear cause was ruled unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court in 2013, and surveillance of The Left's deputies was

 discontinued. In late 2011, <mask> declared his intention to run for party chairman at the 2012 party congress, even after incumbent Oskar Lafontaine announced his desire to seek re-election. Lafontaine withdrew before the congress, and <mask> was defeated by Bernd Riexinger, an ally of Lafontaine from the party's left-wing. <mask> won 251 votes (45%) to Riexinger's 297 (53%). <mask> was elected co-leader of the Left's Bundestag group in 2015 alongside Sahra Wagenknecht, succeeding long-time leader Gregor Gysi. <mask> won 91.6% of votes cast.As the Left was at the time the largest opposition party in the Bundestag, <mask> became a prominent leader of the opposition for the remainder of the parliamentary term. <mask> and fellow parliamentary leader Wagenknecht were the Left's lead candidates for the 2017 federal election. The party made small gains in the election, though they fell from third to fifth place with 9.2% of votes and 69 seats. <mask> contested the Rostock – Landkreis Rostock II constituency and placed second behind the victorious CDU candidate, winning 24.8% of votes. Ahead of the 2021 federal election, <mask> was once again chosen as one of The Left's two lead candidates alongside new party co-leader Janine Wissler. They were confirmed with 87% of votes by the party executive on 9 May. Political positions

<mask> is considered a prominent leader of the moderate, reformist wing of The Left.During the 2013–17 parliamentary term, <mask> advocated for a federal coalition between the Left and the SPD. Ahead of the 2017 German presidential election, <mask> supported the prospect of a joint centre-left candidate supported by the SPD, Left, and Greens. After the SPD rejected this proposal, the Left refused to support SPD candidate

 Frank-Walter Steinmeier. In response to a 2011 incident in which several members of The Left refused to participate in a minute of silence for victims of the Berlin Wall, <mask> suggested that members who refused to condemn the Wall should leave the party. He also distanced himself from a congratulatory birthday letter, signed by party co-leaders Gesine Lötzsch and Klaus Ernst, sent to Fidel Castro by members of the party. In 2017, <mask> stated that former Stasi employees should not always be excluded from government office, believing that a critical assessment of each individual is necessary. He also argued against characterising East Germany as an injustice state (Unrechtsstaat), describing the usage of the term as a "cudgel" lacking nuance.He stated: "It is undisputed that there was serious injustice and victims of it in the GDR. It is also indisputable that there were areas of the rule of law in the GDR." <mask> accused the German government of delivering a weak response to the 2016 Turkish purges, and demanded that more pressure should be put the Turkish government to respect democracy and human rights. Controversy
In early January 2010, <mask> was accused of disloyalty by Left parliamentary leader Gregor Gysi after passing information to Der Spiegel about the retirement of party leader Oskar Lafontaine. <mask> denied this, as well as allegations that he sought to succeed Lafontaine as chairman, and defended his record as federal managing officer. However, he announced that he would not seek re-election to the position at the party congress in May. In September 2015, shortly before <mask>'s election as parliamentary co-leader, Die Welt reported on leaked documents showing that, in 2012, he privately commissioned Thomas Westphal to draft a

 detailed report on the members of The Left's 44-member executive committee.The file indicated the views of each member and their position in the party. Most controversially, each was classified according to allegiance: allies were labeled Z for "reliable", others U for "independent", and rivals L for "left" or "Lafodödel", a derisive term for supporters of Lafontaine. The file was extensively researched and updated over time. <mask> claimed that Gysi requested the creation of the file after the 2012 party congress to gauge support for Lafontaine among the new party executive, though Gysi denied this. <mask> stated that the document represented the "relatively normal process" of categorising regional association and factions, not party opponents, and that he only used the term "Lafodödel" in a single email. He also claimed it was already public knowledge within the party in 2012, and the issue was discussed with the people involved at the time. Upon the publication of the Die Welt article, prominent members Jan van Aken, Martina Renner, and Klaus Ernst expressed outrage at the existence of <mask>'s document.References

<mask> (born September 18, 1964) is a Canadian entrepreneur and politician, who served as the 39th mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia, from 2008 to 2018. As mayor, <mask> oversaw the creation and implementation of the Greenest City 2020 Action Plan and spearheaded the creation of the city's first comprehensive Economic Action Strategy. <mask> was elected to the position of mayor of Vancouver as part of the Vision Vancouver slate. Prior to that, he served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Vancouver-Fairview, as a member of the New Democratic Party of British Columbia, from 2005 until his resignation in 2008 to run for the mayoral position. On January 10, 2018, <mask> announced in a Facebook post that he would not seek reelection later that year. Background

<mask> was born in North Vancouver in 1964. His father was an attorney with Russell Dumoulin, a prominent Vancouver law firm, and his mother was a teacher.After his parents divorced, <mask> grew up partly in Portola Valley, near San Francisco with his mother, and later with his father in North Vancouver. In 1982, he graduated from Carson Graham Secondary School in North Vancouver and attended Colorado College and the University of British Columbia, graduating from the former with a BA in English and Biology. After graduating, he intended to become a physician, but the University of British Columbia School of Medicine rejected his application. <mask> then completed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT/paramedic) training but turned his career focus to healthy food and nutrition. .

His relations include grandfather Dr. Emile Therrien, a pioneering doctor, and Dr. Norman Bethune, his grandmother's cousin, a noted anti-fascist and Communist famous for battlefield medicine in the Spanish Civil War and the Second Sino-Japanese War. He worked on a ranch as a cowboy in the Cariboo restored a wooden sailboat and sailed across the Pacific for 18 months, accompanied by his wife, Amy, whom he had met in Colorado. They settled in New Zealand, where he was attracted to, and began, farming as a trade. After turning 25, he returned to Canada, where he purchased land in Glen

 Valley near Fort Langley, and made his living as a farmer there.<mask> went on to co-found Happy Planet, a Vancouver-based company that produces and markets organic fruit and vegetable beverages and soups. He was named one of Canada's "Top 40 under 40" by The Globe and Mail. He was also a Tides Canada director from 2002 until 2004, when he entered politics with the provincial New Democratic Party. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly in the 2005 election as a member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party having defeated the trade union leader Judy Darcy in a high-profile battle for the party's nomination. He then beat British Columbia Liberal Party's Virginia Greene in the general election. During his time as the MLA for Vancouver-Fairview, <mask> served as the Opposition Critic for Advanced Education, Small Business Critic and as the Co-Chair of the Caucus Climate Change Taskforce. 2008 mayoral campaign

In February 2008, <mask> announced that he would run for Mayor of Vancouver.In June 2008, <mask> secured the Vision Vancouver party's nomination as its mayoral candidate, defeating Raymond Louie and Allan De Genova. <mask> soon announced his resignation from the Legislative Assembly effective July 15, 2008. His main rival was Peter Ladner of the Non-Partisan Association. In November 2008, <mask> came under scrutiny after reporters discovered that he had an unpaid transit infraction fine from the SkyTrain system. While the public generally appeared willing to accept his explanation that the original infraction was a mistake, he was criticized by some for attempting to spin his failure to pay into a politically positive statement. <mask> ultimately paid the $173 fine. He was elected by a solid margin in the 2008 municipal election.Seven of the ten seats on Vancouver City Council also went to <mask>'s Vision Vancouver party. "It was a hard-fought campaign," he told supporters gathered at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, "but there is far more that unites us than divides us." <mask>'s campaign received donations from at least two American supporters.

Action on homelessness
Under <mask>'s leadership, Vancouver City Council made important progress in reducing homelessness, including the approval of more than 600 temporary modular homes; however, providing safe and affordable housing for Vancouver's most vulnerable residents continues to be a challenge. The 12th annual Homeless Count in Vancouver held in 2018 saw a 2% increase in homeless residents since the 2017 count, compared with a 16% increase between 2016 and 2017. Of those counted in 2018, 659 were living on the street and 1,522 were living in shelters, compared to 537 street homeless and 1,601 sheltered in 2017.Fifty-two per cent of those counted reported being homeless for less than a year, showing the fluidity of homelessness year over year in Vancouver, and in 2017, the Homelessness Service's Outreach Team secured 850 homes for residents who were homeless or at risk of homelessness. In September 2017, the Government of British Columbia announced a funding commitment of $66 million towards building 600 units of temporary modular housing in Vancouver. In partnership with the B.C Government, temporary modular homes are being built in a matter of months on empty or underutilized City-owned land, providing immediate relief to hundreds of people living without a home, as well as access to 24/7 supports, including life skills training and health services. Issues of marginalized people

Mental health advocate position
During the 2008 campaign, <mask> promised he would establish a mental health advocate position, as previously recommended by Vision Vancouver councilor Heather Deal. In September 2009, it was announced that there were no plans to do so, and that instead the task would be added to the responsibilities of city staff. Homeless Emergency Action Team (HEAT)
On December 9, 2008, he announced low-barrier HEAT shelters to assist Vancouver’s homeless citizens during an extremely cold winter, which were filled to capacity. Two of the shelters in a residential neighbourhood near a daycare

 centre and senior housing facility at the North end of the Granville Street Bridge were controversial.Community residents cited concerns with lack of public consultation, fights, public urination, defecation, public sex, and open drug use. British Columbia Housing Minister Rich Coleman cited the need for laying out rules of operation and the need for better community consultation. He called <mask>'s bargaining on housing homeless people "amateurish" and later apologized for the remark. <mask> reached an agreement with Housing Minister Rich Coleman and came to a mutual decision to close one shelter and reassess another. The second controversial shelter shut down on August 5, 2009, as alternate housing was found. Later that year, Penny Ballem, the unelected city manager, notified council about a federal proposal from the Mental Health Commission of Canada to address the homeless crisis by turning the 102-room low-budget Bosman's Hotel on Howe Street near Helmcken Street into an experiment designed to see if aggressive health treatment along with housing could help the same target population. Council will decide on the proposal in the Fall of 2009.Council member Kerry Jang was said to be behind the Vancouver portion of the project. On September 15, 2009, Vancouver city staff issued a report warning <mask> and the City Council that they should no longer expect the HEAT shelters to be funded after the 2009–2010 fiscal year. On January 5, 2010, <mask> announced that the controversial shelter at 1435 Granville Street, in a predominantly residential neighbourhood, would re-open the following day without robust neighbourhood consultations. It is scheduled to close by April 30, 2010. The city is planning an open house approximately two weeks after re-opening the shelter. Green issues

 focused on three key areas: jobs and the economy, greener communities, and protecting human health. China democracy controversy
In September 2010 on a trip to China, <mask> was questioned about working with an authoritarian regime by the CBC to which he responded, "You can question how worthwhile democracy is in a lot of countries right now." Upon returning to Canada he later admitted he was guilty of a "poor choice of words". Transportation issues

Canada Line

<mask> was a strong supporter of Cambie Street merchants and spoke regularly about hardships from the Canada Line construction. He called the handling of the rail line construction an "injustice". On March 23, 2009, <mask> testified in a lawsuit brought by a Cambie Street plebiscite merchant in the B.C. Supreme Court regarding damage to her business from the construction, a lawsuit for which the merchant was awarded $600,000 by the B.C.Supreme Court because in part there was insufficient action to mitigate the effects of Canada Line construction on Cambie Street merchants. This decision was later appealed and overturned at the B.C. Court of Appeal on February 18, 2012. On the Canada Line opening day of August 17, 2009, <mask> said Greater Vancouver needed more rapid transit but the Canada Line was a "great start" and that he was a "Johnny-come-lately" to the project. Arbutus rail corridor
The City of Vancouver has been trying to acquire the disused railway line running adjacent to Arbutus Street from Marpole to Granville Island. The line is private property owned by CP who have been trying to sell it to the City of Vancouver after many citizens objected to their plans to develop it for housing. Toll proposal
On September 17, 2009, <mask> called for adding a toll to the Sea-to-Sky Highway, the primary driving route between Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, and to all major crossings of the Fraser River to help fund Translink.British Columbia Minister of Transportation Shirley Bond dismissed the proposal by stating that the Province has no plans to add a toll to the Sea-to-Sky Highway, and that the Province was not contemplating a change in tolling strategy.

 Bicycling issues
<mask> became mayor of Vancouver at a time in history when cities worldwide had been installing advanced cycling infrastructure. This caused him to be associated with cycling in media and the public eye. The same effect happened to mayors in other cities around the same time. In an April 2008 speech to a Critical Mass rally, <mask> requested the assistance of Critical Mass riders to help get him elected. He took part in the April 2008 ride by illegally riding without a helmet to show his support for the protesters. However, in July 2009, after he was elected, he expressed that he was "pissed off" at Critical Mass because organizers had not announced the route for the next ride and would not participate.Vancouver's Critical Mass does not plan its routes. Cycling had been growing in popularity in Vancouver as it has all over the world and the desire of its citizens to cycle for at least some of their trips had been growing for decades however little was done before July 2009 when the Burrard Bridge bicycle lane trial was initiated to determine whether creating a new protected bike lane was a viable solution to increase the safety and comfort of people cycling and walking while still maintaining an effective flow of traffic. During his mayorship, the City's flagship project was the Seaside Greenway, running from downtown Vancouver to the Jericho Beach. This active transportation corridor was created by repurposing one lane of automobile traffic from the Burrard Bridge as well as blocking through vehicular traffic from the prestigious Point Grey Road. Open microphone controversy
In July 2010, <mask> was caught on an open microphone referring to speakers from the public at a council session as, "Who are all these fucking...who are these hacks, man? Are they...they NPA hacks?" <mask> and Councilors Tim Stevenson and Heather Deal went on to mock and laugh at the speakers who had called for greater transparency in the selection of a 12-person committee that will advise council on rezoning.<mask>'s tirade became a YouTube sensation, which led to him making a public apology. Representatives of the speakers felt that

In 2017, the city announced its proposal of a new logo. After spending $8,000 on the concept, the public was quick to jump on the opposition. The idea was described by graphic designers as "Uninspiring and a huge missed opportunity at rebranding the west coast metropolis." According to the CBC, <mask> lost his temper when asked about the logo. The change was suspended.Gordon Campbell comments controversy
On March 30, 2009, <mask> gave a glowing introduction for Premier Gordon Campbell, the leader of the British Columbia Liberal Party. On April 9, 2009, a member of <mask>'s Vision Vancouver caucus, Geoff Meggs, stated that <mask> regretted the language he used as being "unguarded" and that it was intended to build a relationship with the governing provincial party. However <mask> lost support from a former Vision Vancouver executive board member, who resigned from Vision Vancouver on May 7, 2009, and stated he was encouraging other members to do the same, based on his claim that <mask> had not responded to a message the member had sent regarding his concerns about the Campbell remarks. The member was concerned that <mask> had not publicly addressed concerns or explained the issue to Vision Vancouver members. The member accused <mask> of "tremendous disrespect" and "an incredible lack of leadership and a respect for your colleagues." <mask> stated, "I was over-exuberant in introducing the premier to an international audience...There were almost no voters there. I wasn’t thinking politically...But given that we’re so close to an election, some of my comments were misconstrued by people."On May 19, 2009, <mask> sent a congratulatory letter to Campbell with a handwritten note that started with "Congrats" and continued, "looking forward to a very productive run-up to the Games and a strong partnership for Vancouver’s future!" Bylaw changes

In July 2009, <mask> led the Vancouver City Council to pass several bylaw changes—including security checkpoints, closed-circuit cameras, prohibition of "disturbance

 or nuisance interfering with the enjoyment of entertainment on city land by other persons", and prohibition of commercial flyers at celebration sites—which were controversial for some civil liberties advocates who argued that they "make it more difficult to exercise [the] fundamental constitutional rights to free speech, peaceful assembly and free expression." As part of the changes city manager Penny Ballem, an unelected official, was given special powers that were referred to by Coalition of Progressive Electors councilor Ellen Woodsworth as "wide open carte blanche." <mask> defended council's position, explaining the bylaw changes were necessary given what Vancouver is expected to achieve in February 2010. According to <mask>, "It is our ultimate obligation to ensure the safety and security of people who are in our city and this, I think, addresses a lot of the concerns proactively on that level while respecting the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This is a temporary set of changes we're putting it in place for a special event." <mask> also implemented a bylaw in April 2014 that prevented homeowners from cutting trees down on their own private property.The bylaw was proposed due to the rapid reduction in tree cover in the City of Vancouver. Many of the trees had been removed by property developers, with the blessing of the City Council, yet it is homeowners who are suffering from the restrictions. Legal experts believe that the bylaw is unconstitutional and a Supreme Court case will be imminent. Vancouver charter amendment
On January 12, 2009, <mask> requested an amendment to the Vancouver Charter to allow the city to borrow $458 million to fund the completion of the 2010 Olympic Village in False Creek without seeking approval from taxpayers in an election-day plebiscite. <mask> said this was due to extraordinary circumstances. The amendment was passed on January 18, 2009, in an emergency session of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. Vancouver Stanley Cup riot

Bob Whitelaw, author of a report into the 1994 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot, indicated that authorities had made several mistakes in the planning for the crowd—among them allowing parked cars near the screens and leaving newspaper boxes nearby which could be used as projectiles. It was later claimed by Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu that Bob Whitelaw was not a contributor to the final report, and that all recommendations of the final report had been followed. <mask> admitted to not having read the 1994 report. Suzanne Anton dubbed the riot as "Robertson's Riot", a moniker which was picked up by some media outlets. <mask> later accepted some of the responsibility for allowing the riot to occur. 2014 Vancouver civic election

<mask> (, Aleksandr Mantashiants; , <mask>; 3 March 1842 – 19 April 1911) was a prominent Russian oil magnate, industrialist, financier, and a philanthropist of the Armenian origin. By the end of his life he had become one of the world's wealthiest individuals. Early life
Born in Tiflis, Tiflis Governorate, Russian Empire, Mantashev spent most of his childhood in Tabriz, in northern Iran, where his father was involved in the cotton and textile trade. Being the only son, he was involved in his father's business affairs early on. In 1869, he moved to Manchester (known as Cottonopolis in the 19th century), a major center of cotton and textile processing industries, from where he helped ship goods to his father in Tabriz. Mantashev's stay in Manchester played an important role in the development of his character. Not only did he learn the secrets and crafts of the textile industry in Manchester, but he also delved into the intricacies of European business and English culture.During this period he learned the English, French, and German languages. In 1872, Mantashev returned to Tiflis with his father. In the first floor of the hotel Caucasus, located in Erivansky Square, the Mantashevs opened a cotton store, then another one, eventually becoming fully engaged in the wholesale textile trade. After his father's death in 1887, <mask> purchased most of the shares of the Tiflis Central Commercial Bank — thus becoming its principal shareholder, and then the Chairman of the Board of the Bank. The bank was involved in almost every aspect of trade in the Caucasus. Incidentally, Tifkombank was the only financial institution in the Caucasus whose shares traded on the Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange. In the early 1890s, <mask> was already a 1st guild

 merchant and a Speaker of the Tiflis duma.It was then that he became interested in a new business venture, when he was looking into the prospects of Baku oil. Oil tycoon

This was the epoch of the world oil trade. The underground black liquid promised entrepreneurs incredible profits and opened ambitious prospects. The only requirements were a large investment and the ability to run the business. These Mantashev had. His chief accountant recalled that not a single document went into effect without <mask>'s resolution, "Asttsov" ("with God" in Armenian). Mantashev, not being afraid of high risk investments, bought (together with another Armenian colleague, Michael Aramyants) unprofitable oil wells in Baku that very soon became profitable.In 1894 he created a tentative association along with the other major oil interests in Russia, the Nobels and the Rothschilds, in order to cooperate in the marketing of petroleum products within certain geographical areas. This was in response to Standard Oil's aggressive marketing policy. In 1896, during a trip to Egypt, Mantashev met Calouste Gulbenkian who was fleeing the Ottoman Empire with his family as a result of the Hamidian massacres. Mantashev introduced Gulbenkian to the right circles in Cairo, including Sir Evelyn Baring. For refining oil, Mantashev built a kerosene plant in Baku, as well as a lubricant plant and a marine refinery for pumping oil and fuel to vessels. His company owned a factory for the fabrication of canisters for the packaging and storage of oil in Batumi, a mechanical workshop in Zabrat, an oil pumping station in Odessa, and even one hundred freight cars circulating in the southwestern railways of Russia. (The young Joseph Stalin organized strikes in Mantashev's Batumi

In 1899 he created the trading house "A.I. Mantashev and Co.", opening representative offices and warehouses in the major cities of Europe and Asia: Smyrna, Thessaloniki, Constantinople, Alexandria, Cairo, Port Said, Damascus, Paris, London, Bombay and Shanghai. Mantashev became a shareholder in a number of oil companies, among them the Nobel Brothers. 51.3% of the total stock of oil and 66.8% of the oil content in the Caspian Sea was centered on the firm. In 1904, it was the third largest oil company in Baku, next to only the Nobel Brothers and the Caspian Sea Society of the Rothschild brothers. Once while riding on a train from Vienna to Paris, Mantashev was accompanied by a silent passenger in the same car.Mantashev failed in all his attempts to communicate with the passenger. Only when it came to the subject of Baku oil did the silent passenger become talkative. During their discussion he had asked several professional questions regarding oil and had mentioned that the only person he had heard of in Baku was <mask>v. Mantashev smiled and introduced himself. The conversation stalled thereafter. In Paris, they shook hands and parted. A few days later Mantashev was invited to a cocktail party by Britain's Baron Rothschild.It became clear that the Baron had been the silent passenger on the train because the personal invitation contained several lines regarding their encounter on the train. Mantashev funded the Baku-Batumi pipeline which was launched in 1907, becoming the world's longest pipeline, 835 kilometers long. From 1899 to 1909, his company by volume of fixed

 capital (22 million rubles) was the largest in Russian industry. It is said that before buying oil wells Mantashev personally examined them. He knew that a rich deposit may suddenly dry up, and vice versa: a well seemingly lacking in prospects could end up as a rich fountain. Surrounded by a group of geologists and petroleum engineers, he visited the sites asking countless questions, carefully studying land-color, softness etc. ; he even smelled the land.Mantashev always inquired into the status of the neighbouring sites, often seemingly choosing them at random and saying : "It's here, start digging." No one could understand what it was that made him choose that particular spot. But his decision was always final. The great paradox was that when drilling commenced, an oil fountain was almost always discovered. Philanthropist

Along with twelve like-minded people he founded the "Armenian Charitable Society in the Caucasus". He donated 300,000 rubles towards the building of the Nersessian spiritual academy. He donated 250,000 rubles to the holy town of Echmiadzin for the building of the residence of the Catholicos of All Armenians (construction completed in 1914).Mantashev hand-picked fifty talented young Armenians and sent over two hundred to study at the best universities of Russia and Europe. Among them was the famous Armenian composer Komitas, Hrachya Acharyan and the controversial Communist revolutionary Stepan Shahumyan as well as others who became famous later on. The most famous donation made by Mantashev remains the Armenian Church of St. John the Baptist in Paris on Jean Goujon street. He explained that he chose Paris because that's the city where he sinned most. During its construction in 1904 Mantashev spent 1,540,000 francs.
