<mask> (23 May 1936 – 7 April 2004) was a British businessman, thoroughbred racehorse owner and breeder. Sangster's horses won 27 European Classics and more than 100 Group One races, including two Epsom Derbys, four Irish Derbys, two French Derbys, three Prix de l'Arc de Triomphes, as well as the Breeders' Cup Mile and the Melbourne Cup. He was British flat racing Champion Owner five times. From the mid-1970s, in partnership with John Magnier and Vincent O'Brien, Sangster transformed the sport of thoroughbred horseracing. Their dramatic buying of American-bred yearlings at the Keeneland Sales in Kentucky led to tremendous success and established the Coolmore Stud in Ireland as one of the principal powers in the bloodstock world. Early years and business career
<mask> was the son of <mask>, who founded the Vernons Pools business in 1926, and his wife Peggy (Margaret) Smith. He was born in Liverpool and educated at Repton School, where he played cricket and boxed.He did National service with the Cheshire Regiment, winning a brigade heavyweight boxing championship in Berlin. After National Service, <mask> joined the Vernons organisation, becoming managing director and then serving as chairman from 1980 to 1988. In that year, aware of plans for the creation of the National Lottery, he sold the Vernons Pools business to Ladbrokes for £90 million. Ladbrokes subsequently valued their acquisition at £1. Thoroughbred racing and breeding

Beginnings
<mask> was introduced to thoroughbred racing through a friend, Nick Robinson, who recommended a bet on Chalk Stream, a horse owned by his grandfather, Sir Foster Robinson, in the 1960 Lincoln Handicap. Chalk Stream finished unplaced, but <mask> bought the horse as a wedding present for his fiancée and sent him to be trained by Eric Cousins. The horse won the Liverpool Autumn Cup that year and the Jubilee Handicap at Kempton Park the following May, hooking Sangster on racing.He started buying successful fillies with the aim of breeding his own horses and had his first win in a major flat race with Brief Star in the 1969 Ayr Gold Cup. The Brethren
In October 1971 at Haydock Park, where he was sponsoring the Vernons Sprint Cup, <mask> was introduced to John Magnier, a stud farmer from County Cork who was then aged 23. <mask> entered into partnership with Magnier and the legendary Irish trainer Vincent O'Brien, investing in the Coolmore Stud in County Tipperary. The trio became known as "the Brethren". Their idea was to use <mask>'s money to buy up the best yearlings at the Keeneland Sales in Kentucky, cornering the line of horses bred from the stallion Northern Dancer. Trained by O'Brien at his Ballydoyle stables these horses would go on to success on the track and command enormous fees standing at stud. In 1975 they paid just under $1.8 million for a number of young horses, including The Minstrel, a colt by Northern Dancer out of Fleur, who went on to win The Derby in 1977.With the success of The Minstrel, <mask> and his partners established themselves as among the world's leading racehorse owners, going on to extraordinary success. Between 1977-84 <mask> was Britain's leading owner five times. There was a second Derby win in 1982 with Golden Fleece; three Prix de l'Arc de Triomphes, with Alleged, twice, in 1977 and 1978, and with Detroit in 1980; a Melbourne Cup victory with Beldale Ball, again in 1980; and a win in the Breeders' Cup Mile with Royal Heroine in 1984. Initially, these horses were sold to stand at stud for syndicates at vast profits. The Minstrel, who had cost $200,000, was sold to America for $9 million; Alleged, bought for $175,000 as a two-year-old, went to Kentucky a year later for $16 million. These profits funded further purchases but by the mid-1980s, beginning with Be My Guest, Coolmore began to have its own champion sires in residence. Two of Sangster's horses, Caerleon and Sadler's Wells, the latter bred at Sangster's Swettenham Stud, went on to be among the most successful stallions in the world.Sadler's Wells's legacy to Coolmore included Galileo and Montjeu, outstanding sires in their own right. Yearling sales
Sangster continued to invest in yearlings in partnership with associates that included Danny Schwartz, who had made a fortune as a builder in California, and, from 1979, Stavros Niarchos, the Greek shipping tycoon and sometime rival of <mask> at the sales. In the mid-1980s competition, largely with buyers from the Middle East, pushed prices to extremely high levels. The average price at Keeneland's July Select Sale rose from $53,000 in 1975 to more than $600,000 in 1984. In the same period the average at Newmarket's Houghton Sales climbed from 7,600 guineas to 92,500 guineas. In 1983 Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum paid $10.2 million at the Kentucky Sales for a yearling called Snaafi Dancer and two years later <mask> and his associates paid a record $13.1 million for Seattle Dancer. In response to these escalating prices, Sheikh Mohammed arranged two meetings in Dubai, the first with just <mask> and John Magnier, and a second including Vincent O'Brien and others.Although the details of these meetings were not revealed, what followed was a slump in bloodstock values at the sales of 1985 and 1986. Breeding empire
Sangster's thoroughbred racing and breeding empire included interests in England, Australia, Venezuela, the United States, Ireland, France and New Zealand. In the early 1970s he partnered with Magnier in developing the now common practice of shuttling stallions between the northern and southern hemispheres, helping to internationalise racing in Australia. He had bought Swettenham, a 200-acre stud farm in Cheshire, when he was 28 and in 1985 he paid £6 million for the famous Manton House stables near Marlborough in Wiltshire, which became the centre of his racing operations in Britain. He first installed Michael Dickinson as the trainer but replaced him with Barry Hills, then Peter Chapple-Hyam and, latterly, John Gosden. Sangster largely withdrew from buying at the yearling sales, instead selling horses bred at his own studs. He won his final English Classic with Las Meninas in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in 1994, but saw horses he had bred win major races for other owners, including Dr Devious, who won the Derby in 1992, Balanchine, which won the Oaks and the Irish Derby in 1994, and Carnegie, which won the Arc in the same year.In 1993 <mask> sold his interest in Coolmore, although he retained breeding rights to a number of stallions, notably Sadler's Wells and Danehill. His later breeding operations were focused mainly on Australia. Personal life

<mask> enjoyed a lively social life, entertaining lavishly in his box at Royal Ascot. Barry Hills, who trained more than 30 Group-race winners for Sangster, said, "We celebrated when we won, and usually celebrated when we lost". The racing correspondent Julian Wilson said of Sangster: "His pleasures were boxing, champagne, golf, racing and beautiful women, in no particular order, and often more than one at the same time." <mask> was married and divorced three times. In May 1960 he married Christine Street, leaving her in 1976 (divorcing in 1978) for socialite Susan Peacock, the ex-wife of Australian Liberal Party politician Andrew Peacock.That marriage did not last, with <mask> having well-publicised affairs with Jerry Hall and Susan Lilley. <mask> married Lilley in 1985, divorcing in 2000. By his first wife he had three sons, Guy, Ben and Adam, and a daughter, Kate. With Susan Lilley he had two sons, Sam and Max. <mask> went into tax exile from the United Kingdom in 1975 and moved to the Isle of Man. Towards the end of his life he spent much of his time in Barbados and Australia. <mask> died of pancreatic cancer in London, on 7 April 2004, aged 67.British Classic Race wins

<mask> (born 1970 in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex) is an English professional cricket coach and former Great Britain baseball player. He is known primarily as a specialist fielding coach but has also performed the roles of head coach and assistant coach. He has worked on the coaching staffs of the West Indies, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and England and has coached at 36 test matches, 106 ODIs, and 28 T20 Internationals. This includes two ICC Fifty Over World Cups, one ICC T20 World Cup, one Asia Cup, and one Champions Trophy. He has also coached at a wide variety of domestic or franchise fixtures. He coaches both international and domestic or franchise cricket and was part of the BPL Winning Dhaka Gladiators coaching staff in 2012 and the Stanford Superstars coaching staff in 2008, when the team beat England convincingly in a one off Twenty Million Dollar game in Antigua during the Stanford Super Series. <mask> was the first baseball player to be used as a Specialist Fielding Coach by any test level cricket team when he was hired in 1998 by the West Indies to coach on their tour of South Africa.On the 2000/01 West Indies tour of Australia he took to the field as substitute fielder for the West Indies against the Prime Ministers eleven at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. He rose to the challenge by running out Anthony McQuire with a direct hit from the boundary. He has acted as Substitute Fielder (12th Man) a total of four times for both West Indies in 2001 & 2007 and Pakistan in 2013. Along with ICC Full Member teams, he has coached both ICC Associate & ICC Affiliate cricket teams, during his career and was recently the head coach of South Korea during the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon who were the host nation. They achieved great success, despite having very little playing experience, taking eight wickets against the Sri Lanka national cricket team in the quarter final. Other teams who have used him include Ireland, Bermuda, Trinidad and Canada. During the 2010 Micromax ODI series against Zimbabwe, <mask> was appointed temporary head coach of Bangladesh, for the 3rd and 4th ODI's, whilst Jamie Siddons attended the birth of his second child back in Australia.Bangladesh won the 3rd ODI, however the fourth was abandoned due to rain. This made <mask> the first baseball coach to achieve head coach status with an ICC full member nation cricket team, as well as being the first baseball coach to instruct an ICC full member nation cricket team (West Indies in 1998). In March 2012 <mask> was re-appointed as specialist fielding coach for Pakistan, and was based at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, Pakistan. He worked exclusively with Pakistan cricketers at Test, ODI and T20 matches and was able to raise the standard of fielding significantly during his two-year tenure, which saw Pakistan win the 2012 Asia Cup and achieve both ODI and T20 success against Sri Lanka, India, and South Africa. In January 2015 <mask> launched a project called Switch Hit 20 designed to help former professional baseball players transition into T20 cricketers. This coincided with him accepting an invitation from the American Cricket Federation (ACF) to join their Honorary Advisory Board, where he joins existing HAB members Arjuna Ranatunga, Ian Chappell, Clive Lloyd, Shaun Pollock, Michael Holding, Stuart MacGill, Damien Martyn, Nathan Bracken, Alvin Kallicharran, Niall O'Brien, Vince Adams, Ian Pont, and Stephen Rooke. Playing career

Cricket
<mask> started his cricket career as a medium pace all rounder (he later switched to wicket keeping due to his passion for fielding) for Somerset within their youth development teams.He was selected to play in the Somerset Under 19 team aged only 15 due to an injury to the regular wicket keeper. He was removed from the squad at the end of the season in 1987. Baseball
In need of a fresh challenge, he decided to take up baseball, having watched the 1987 World Series between the Minnesota Twins and the St. Louis Cardinals. In July 1988 <mask> was selected to represent Great Britain U19 Baseball Team at the European Championships in Bordeaux, France, having only played baseball for six months. The following year he made his debut for the full Great Britain National Baseball Team, still aged only 19. He represented Great Britain, as part of the British Olympic Squad in the European Baseball Championships in 1989 in Paris, France and again in 1991 in Rome, Italy. <mask> represented Great Britain as a pitcher between 1988 and 2002.In 1989, <mask> played as part of the British Olympic Baseball Team versus an MLBPA – Major League Players Alumni Legends team at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. The Legends team was composed of household names Bert Campaneris, Doug DeCinces, Bob Feller, Mark Fidrych, Tim Foli, George Foster, Jerry Grote, Mike Hargrove, Tug McGraw, Graig Nettles, Lary Sorensen, Willie Stargell, Rennie Stennett, Luis Tiant, Roy White, Billy Williams, and Al Oliver. During this period he also attended several professional tryouts with Major League Baseball teams including the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox and New York Mets. He approached a number of US universities, with the intention of taking up a scholarship, but was rejected. He continued playing in the UK whilst attending Thames Valley University in London. In 2002, he was recalled to the Great Britain Baseball Team, to add strength and experience to their pitching staff during a qualification tournament in Stockholm, Sweden. England youth teams and County Cricket
In 1996, having returned to his home town of Taunton, he was approached by the British Baseball Federation to assist with a cricket course run by the NCA or National Cricket Association which is now known as the England and Wales Cricket Board.He was immediately recognised by local participants as a former Somerset County youth cricketer, and was bombarded with questions about how baseball skills transfer into cricket. This course was organised by ECB National Coach Gordon Lord, a former first-class cricketer and national coach who immediately involved him with the coaching of England youth teams. He became the official ECB Fielding Specialist Coach for all the England youth teams and coached players such as Andrew Flintoff, Chris Read, Ben Hollioake, Graeme Swann Michael Carberry and Owais Shah. He also coached the England women's cricket team,.. <mask> coached at the majority of County Cricket teams between 1996 and 1998, holding fielding clinics both pre, mid and post season throughout the UK. International coaching debut 1998

West Indies 'A'
In 1998 <mask> had hoped to become part of the coaching staff for the full England team, under David Lloyd, however an offer was not forthcoming despite having successfully coached extensively around the County Cricket circuit as a specialist fielding coach; so when he was approached by the West Indies Cricket Board to coach The West Indies 'A' Team in Antigua, he jumped at the chance as this would allow him to finally coach at the highest levels of cricket. West Indies tour of South Africa 1998
Having run a successful pre-tour clinic in Antigua with West Indies "A" he was asked to accompany the full West Indies cricket team on their tour of South Africa and the WICB Advanced Course in Trinidad and Tobago, he was ecstatic as he was able to flourish as a coach, working with some of the world's best cricketers. Unfortunately, his tour was cut short due to the impending players strike.However, following this introduction he was retained as part of the West Indies back room staff under head coach Malcolm Marshall. He was labelled as "essential" by Tony Cozier, a well-respected cricket journalist. He rejoined the senior team in Jamaica for the second Test and achieved fantastic results immediately, culminating in a fantastic series finish in Barbados. It was during this series that he established himself as a leader in his field even claiming to have fixed Courtney Walsh's throwing arm. Cricket World Cup 1999
He accompanied the West Indies Cricket team to the UK for the Cricket World Cup however the team's performance was unfortunately overshadowed by the sudden illness of head coach, Malcolm Marshall. Queens Park Cricket Club, Trinidad
In 2000 following his successful involvement with the West Indies in the Caribbean and the Cricket World Cup he was appointed as head coach, at Queens Park Cricket Club in Trinidad and he combined coaching with playing for the club throughout the 2000 season. During his tenure he oversaw the development of exciting new talent such as Dwayne Bravo and Devon Smith.It was whilst performing this role he was again contracted by the WICB to coach the senior West Indies team, for a preparatory camp, in Jamaica before joining them as their specialist fielding coach on their tour of Australia. West Indies Tour of Australia 2000/01
This tour was a particularly tough one for the West Indies, where they struggled in most departments, however the fielding continued to improve under the guidance of <mask>. It was during this tour that <mask> had to put his money where his mouth was when, due to a large number of injuries, he had to take to the field as West Indies Substitute Fielder (12th Man) during the Prime Minister's Xl fixture at the Manuka Oval, Canberra. He rose to the challenge by running out Anthony McGuire with a direct hit from the boundary. He was also required as Substitute Fielder (12th Man) against Australia 'A' in Hobart, Tasmania. South Africa's Tour of West Indies 2001
In 2001, following the tour of Australia, he returned with the team to the Caribbean for the home series against South Africa. This series saw <mask>'s involvement diminished, despite the benefits which were definitely showing.This led to allegations of underhand treatment of <mask> and other management members by the WICB. Pakistan 'A' Team Tour of Sri Lanka 2001
After parting company with the West Indies due to contractual difficulties, <mask> was approached by the Pakistan Cricket Board to act as assistant and specialist coach for the Pakistan A cricket team on their tour of Sri Lanka under head coach Mudassar Nazar, an appointment which was seen as "clearly necessary". Upon completing the Sri Lanka tour, <mask> accompanied the team back to Pakistan where he was tasked with holding Elite Coaching Clinics at all the major academies including Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Rawalpindi. He attended a week-long camp in Karachi under the guidance of head coach Richard Pybus with the senior Pakistan national cricket team working with the players prior to their upcoming home series. He also held a series of clinics for Pakistan coaches at each of the venues. Upon returning to the UK, due to his absence from the ECB system, his unofficial role as ECB fielding coach had been filled by various former players including Trevor Penney and Gary Palmer, and consequently he fell out of favour with the governing body. Despite making a huge contribution to the improved way fielding was taught in professional cricket, he was unable to further his coaching career despite achieving all the relevant coaching qualifications and even becoming a tutor on ECB Courses.Director of Cricket, Pangbourne College 2002
In 2002, <mask> took up a pastoral position at Pangbourne College in Berkshire which allowed him to expand his coaching experience in the role of director of cricket and head coach. Whilst fulfilling this role he also gained valuable experience teaching physical education and coaching hockey. Pakistan tour of England 2006

In 2006, having both grown as a coach and gained valuable coaching experience, he was hired by Bob Woolmer to act as specialist fielding coach for the Pakistan national cricket team on their tour of England. During the tour his role as specialist fielding coach was reduced to allow greater input into the team's batting performance. He was used extensively by both junior and senior players such as Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, and Shahid Afridi as a one-to-one batting coach. He was in the Pakistan dressing room at The Oval on that fateful day in August 2006 when the infamous alleged "Ball tampering" incident occurred. England 'A' & ECB National Academy 2006/07
Over the winter of 2006/2007, with this new-found international experience and exposure, <mask> was hired by Peter Moores, the ECB national academy director at the time, to work with England 'A' Team players, England youth team players, National Skill Set and Regional Skill Set Players.West Indies Tour of England 2007
In 2007 the West Indies cricket team were touring England and the new head coach David Moore, on the recommendation of the senior players, requested <mask>'s assistance as a specialist fielding coach for the remainder of the NPower Test Series and the ODI / T20 series. This proved to be a turning point for the team, as at the start of the series the fielding was below standard, however after having spent time reinforcing the skills, the team entered the ODI / T20 series with a new-found enthusiasm for fielding which proved instrumental in the Nat West ODI Series win for the West Indies. <mask> had to put on the whites as fielding 12th man yet again in 2007, against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Durham. Head coach England U16 & England T20 Squad 2007
After the Nat West ODI series finished, he returned to the National Cricket Performance Centre, continuing his work with both current and up and coming England Cricketers, culminating in his selection as head coach of the England Under 16 for a series

 against Australia Under 16, which England swept where he was able to pass on not only the elite fielding skills, but the batting and bowling knowledge he had gained over his extensive international career. This tenure was one of his proudest moments in coaching as not only did England U16 sweep the series against Australia U16, without losing a game, but finally he gained recognition as a coach in his own right capable of coaching all aspects of cricket, not simply fielding. It was also at this time that he achieved another seemingly unattainable milestone by coaching England T20 specialist players at the National Performance Centre, prior to their departure to South Africa for the T20 Cricket World Cup. Pro Batter Video Simulator Pitching Machines
Whilst at the National Performance Centre in September 2007, <mask>, after a recent research trip to the US, brought the concept of using the Pro Batter Video Simulator Pitching Machine for cricket to the attention of Peter Moores and David Parsons.He introduced the company, Pro Batter Sports, to the England & Wales Cricket Board and in 2010 Pro Batter completed the installation of two units at the National Performance Centre at Loughborough. It was not until Dene Hills, an Australian Cricket Coach, joined the ECB in late 2008, as batting coach, that they finally got in touch with Pro Batter regarding the possibility of using the machines for cricket; something <mask> had identified over a year before. Stanford T20 Cricket, 2007 and 2008

Stanford Professional Franchise Teams

Late 2007 <mask> was contacted by the Stanford T20 Cricket organisation, who had established professional teams in Antigua, Nevis, St Lucia and Anguilla. He spent a few weeks not only assessing and coaching these newly formed professional teams, but conducting a complete audit of each organisation, looking at coaching, facilities, players and every aspect of their day-to-day operations. It was also at this time, and following the guidelines of the McLaurin Report, that England decided that they should hire a full-time fielding coach and despite his long standing involvement with the ECB, going back over 10 years, and his extensive international resume, which at that time had three full international teams and countless worldwide professional teams on it, was pipped to the post by part-time cricket coach, PE Teacher and Director of Sport at Wellington College Richard Halsall who was more familiar to the newly appointed England Head coach, Peter Moores, due to his link with Sussex County Cricket Club . Stanford Superstars
In 2008, the Stanford relationship was to prove crucial, as <mask> was again hired by Stanford T20 Cricket, to be the official fielding coach for the newly formed Stanford Superstars professional cricket team. The Stanford Superstars were formed with the intention of playing a one off Twenty Million Dollar Game against England at the Stanford Cricket Ground in Antigua on 1 November 2008, which is incidentally, Antigua's Independence Day.The event became the Stanford Super Series of cricket where Middlesex County Cricket Club from England, along with Trinidad and Tobago national cricket team, both of which had won their respective domestic T20 tournaments, joined England and the Superstars to play in a round robin series of games in Antigua, culminating in the 20 million dollar game against England on 1 Nov. The Superstars beat England convincingly. As history shows the Stanford Superstars capitalised on their intensive coaching regime under Eldine Baptiste, Roger Harper, Cardigan Connor and <mask>, by winning every game they played that week and receiving 20 million dollars, the biggest winners pay cheque ever offered in cricket. There were mixed feelings across the world, both in the lead up to and following the series; and events have since proved that perhaps the Stanford connection within cricket may have been ill-advised for many, however the potential good that may have come from his involvement with West Indies cricket, will now never be fulfilled, leaving the regions cricketing future in the balance.

This story was proved at least partly correct, when it was announced by the BCB that <mask> had indeed, joined the coaching and support staff of the Bangladesh Team. Kleusener finally turned down the role of bowling coach, which was then awarded to the highly acclaimed, and significantly more qualified, Ian Pont. New Zealand tour of Bangladesh
Fountain and Pont got off to a good start with Bangladesh after "Tiger Washing" the New Zealand team 4-0 during the Micromax ODI Series in October 2010.

"Direct Hit" performance analysis software system for fielding
Fielding, a major component of ricket, has little or no statistical data to call upon when selecting players or making tactical adjustments. This had always puzzled <mask>, as he had extensive experience of baseball where all elements of the game, fielding included, are recorded. In 2010, <mask>'s groundbreaking "Fielding Analysis System" for cricket was put into a software package, to allow every aspect of cricket fielding to be scored and analysed, giving a complete picture on a team or individuals performance. The system was first used by <mask> during his early stints with the West Indies on the 2000 / 2001 tour of Australia, and has been 10 years in development. Since that time various people have tried to imitate or copy it, including certain well known TV companies.TV, radio, magazines, coach education
<mask> has written many articles on fielding, cricket, baseball and coaching which have been widely read, thanks to the internet. He has been featured on a huge range of sports television and radio shows, in all parts of the world. He has been involved with the research, production and presentation of coach education material for a wide variety of organisations including the ICC, ECB, PCB and WICB. External links

<mask> FRS (20 August 1710 – 14 May 1761) was a British mathematician and inventor known for the eponymous <mask>'s rule to approximate definite integrals. The attribution, as often in mathematics, can be debated: this rule had been found 100 years earlier by Johannes Kepler, and in German it is called Keplersche Fassregel. Biography

<mask> was born in Sutton Cheney, Leicestershire. The son of a weaver, <mask> taught himself mathematics. At the age of nineteen, he married a fifty-year old widow with two children. As a youth, he became interested in astrology after seeing a solar eclipse. He also dabbled in divination and caused fits in a girl after 'raising a devil' from her.After this incident, he and his wife had to flee to Derby. He moved with his wife and children to London at age twenty-five, where he supported his family by weaving during the day and teaching mathematics at night. From 1743, he taught mathematics at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. <mask> was a fellow of the Royal Society. In 1758, <mask> was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He died in Market Bosworth, and was laid to rest in Sutton Cheney. A plaque inside the church commemorates him.Early work

<mask>'s treatise entitled The Nature and Laws of Chance and The Doctrine of Annuities and Reversions were based on the work of De Moivre and were attempts at making the same material more brief and understandable. <mask> stated this clearly in The Nature and Laws of Chance, referring to De Moivre's Doctrine of Chances: "tho' it neither wants Matter nor Elegance to recommend it, yet the Price must, I am sensible, have put it out of the Power of many to purchase it". In both works, <mask> cited De Moivre's work and did not claim originality beyond the presentation of some more accurate data. While he and De Moivre initially got along, De Moivre eventually felt that his income was threatened by <mask>'s work and in his second edition of Annuities upon Lives, wrote in the preface:

"After the pains I have taken to perfect this Second Edition, it may happen, that a certain Person, whom I need not name, out of Compassion to the Public, will publish a Second Edition of his Book on the same Subject, which he will afford at a very moderate Price, not regarding whether he mutilates my Propositions, obscures what is clear, makes a Shew of new Rules, and works by mine; in short, confounds, in his usual way, every thing with a croud of useless Symbols; if this be the Case, I must forgive the indigent Author, and his disappointed Bookseller." Work

The method commonly called <mask>'s Rule was known and used earlier by Bonaventura Cavalieri (a student of Galileo) in 1639, and later by James Gregory; still, the long popularity of <mask>'s textbooks invites this association with his name, in that many readers would have learnt it from them. In the context of disputes surrounding methods advanced by René Descartes, Pierre de Fermat proposed the challenge to find a point D such that the sum of the distances to three given points, A, B and C is least, a challenge popularised in Italy by Marin Mersenne in the early 1640s. Simpson treats the problem in the first part of Doctrine and Application of Fluxions (1750), on pp.26–28, by the description of circular arcs at which the edges of the triangle ABC subtend an angle of pi/3; in the second part of the book, on pp. 505–506 he extends this geometrical method, in effect, to weighted sums of the distances. Several of <mask>'s books contain selections of optimisation problems treated by simple geometrical considerations in similar manner, as (for <mask>) an illuminating counterpart to possible treatment by fluxional (calculus) methods. But <mask> does not treat the problem in the essay on geometrical problems of maxima and minima appended to his textbook on Geometry of 1747, although it does appear in the considerably reworked edition of 1760. Comparative attention might, however, usefully be drawn to a paper in English from eighty years earlier as suggesting that the underlying ideas were already recognised then:
 J. Collins A Solution, Given by Mr. John Collins of a Chorographical Probleme, Proposed by Richard Townley Esq. Who Doubtless Hath Solved the Same Otherwise, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 6 (1671), pp. 2093–2096.Of further related interest are problems posed in the early 1750s by J. Orchard, in The British Palladium, and by T. Moss, in The Ladies' Diary; or Woman's Almanack (at that period not yet edited by <mask>). Simpson-Weber triangle problem

This type of generalisation was later popularised by Alfred Weber in 1909. The Simpson-Weber triangle problem consists in locating a point D with respect to three points A, B, and C in such a way that the sum of the transportation costs between D and each of the three other points is minimised. In 1971, Luc-Normand Tellier found the first direct (non iterative) numerical solution of the Fermat and Simpson-Weber triangle problems. Long before Von Thünen's contributions, which go back to 1818, the Fermat point problem can be seen as the very beginning of space economy. In 1985, Luc-Normand Tellier formulated an all-new problem called the “attraction-repulsion problem”, which constitutes a generalisation of both the Fermat and Simpson-Weber problems. In its simplest version, the attraction-repulsion problem consists in locating a point D with respect to three points A1, A2 and R in such a way that the attractive forces exerted by points A1 and A2, and the repulsive force exerted by point R cancel each other out.In the same book, Tellier solved that problem for the first time in the triangle case, and he reinterpreted the space economy theory, especially, the theory of land rent, in the light of the concepts of attractive and repulsive forces stemming from the attraction-repulsion problem. That problem was later further analysed by mathematicians like Chen, Hansen, Jaumard and Tuy (1992), and Jalal and Krarup (2003). The attraction-repulsion problem is seen by Ottaviano and Thisse (2005) as a prelude to the New Economic Geography that developed in the 1990s, and earned Paul Krugman a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2008.

Michael A<mask> (born January 12, 1970) is a former Republican member of the Indiana State Senate representing the 29th district from 2005 to 2018. He is considered to be a "socially conservative Republican," who has courted support from the Tea Party movement. <mask> is known for his immigration legislation and his support for an Indiana Constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriages and civil unions. He is frequently mentioned and has shown interest in representing Indiana in statewide office or in US Congress. On November 6, 2018, <mask> lost reelection in the State Senate to J. D. Ford. Personal details
<mask> is the son of David W<mask>, who was an Indianapolis-based executive for Iowa Beef Processors, and <mask>, who worked at a bank, and he has three brothers, Jamie, Stephen and John. His parents were divorced.<mask> attended Carmel High School and was a member of the class of 1988. <mask> was educated at Indiana University and holds four degrees from the institution. He received his BA in 1992, MS in Environmental Science and Masters of Public Affairs in 1996, and his JD from Indiana University School of Law in 2010. In 2011, <mask> passed his Indiana State Bar exam. He is a fluent speaker of Spanish. He married Beth (née Frankel) in 1993 and they have five daughters, who are home schooled. <mask> and his family are members of the non-denominational Central Christian Church in Carmel, Indiana.After working as a Congressional staffer, <mask> represented Comcast Cable as regional director of government affairs. In 2012, <mask> joined CarDon & Associates as general counsel. <mask> is a major in the United States Army Reserve. He has served since 2001. Political career

Congressional staffer
From 1996-2004, <mask> worked as a Congressional staffer for US Representative Dan Burton, a Republican who at the time represented , although Burton would end his career in . <mask> has served as Burton's district director and chief of staff. During this time, <mask> was a Republican precinct committee leader.Republican nomination for Indiana Secretary of State
<mask> competed and lost the Republican nomination for Indiana Secretary of State in 2002. He was running against then Marion County Coroner Dr. John McGoff, Vanderburgh County Commissioner Richard Mourdock and Deputy Secretary of State Todd Rokita. NBA basketball player Kent Benson briefly competed but dropped out in March and well before the June Republican convention in Indianapolis. Representative Burton introduced Delph before the Republican state convention delegates. Richard Mourdock's campaign made a controversial move when it issued a vote appeal handout to delegates inferring <mask> had withdrawn when Delph was still in competition for the nomination. The flier read: Delph Supporters Urged to Vote Mourdock: Conservatives must unite on the second ballot to guarantee strong candidate support in November. The Mourdock campaign congratulates <mask> on a hard-fought campaign and invites Delph supporters to join with Mourdock supporters to nominate a conservative on the second ballot!Even though Mourdock had the most votes on the initial ballot, Rokita won the nomination and later the general election in November against then-Democratic opponent Bloomington Mayor John Fernandez.State Senator, District 29, 2005

In December 2005, <mask> replaced retiring State Senator J. Murray Clark, who retired with one year remaining in his term. <mask> won the Republican Caucus vote, a special election, against his competitor Dan Gammon, who was at the time a Wayne Township trustee. The state senator of District 29 represents a section of Marion and Hamilton counties. Boone County was added later in 2011. His top supporters were Bill Schneider, a former Indianapolis City-County Council member; Paul Shoopman, a real estate businessman; and his employer US Representative Burton. First full term S-29 2006

During his first general election in 2006, <mask> won unopposed. The Democrats had nominated Mennonite minister Jennifer "Jeni" Umble but her filing was not validated because the submission occurred past deadline.Indiana State Senate, District 29, Election Results, November 7, 2006

Second full term S-29 2010

In 2010, <mask> ran for re-election and won in a race where he faced Democrat Robin Shackleford. She ran against <mask>'s immigration legislation modeled after Arizona state's. After the 2010 election, the Indiana Republicans held a supermajority in the House and Senate, 37 Republican senators and 13 Democratic senators. Indiana State Senate, District 29, Election Results, November 2, 2010

Third Full Term S-29 2014
In November 2014, <mask> successfully stood for reelection against Democrat J.D. Ford. Initially, both candidates ran unopposed in their respective May primaries. J.D.Ford was a gay candidate who opposed <mask>'s stand on same-sex marriage. <mask>'s Twitter communication about an internal debate within the Republican caucus about recognition of same-sex unions in Indiana, which was the proposal for a state constitutional amendment passed in altered form during the 2014, provided publicity about his reelection with Ford. During the campaign, Ford made a statement that some felt called for discrimination against individuals with religious beliefs, while responding to a question regarding discrimination against LGBT individuals. Indiana State Senate, District 29, Election Results, November 4, 2014

Defeated for re-election S-29 2018
<mask> again faced Ford when he sought reelection for the fourth time in 2018. After winning the Republican primary, he was defeated in the general election, the only Republican State Senate casualty of the night. Indiana State Senate, District 29, Election Results, November 6, 2018

Political opportunities
For the 2012 election, <mask> was not standing in an election but he was mentioned as a Tea Party alternative to long-time Republican Indiana Senator Richard Lugar. At the time, he was fundraising and was the only US politician who accepted a donation from BP's political action committee in the period after its Deepwater Horizon spill and spoke out in favor of the company in defense of its critics.<mask> opposed the nomination of Elena Kagan to the US Supreme Court based on her views on "partial-birth abortion" (a medical procedure known as Intact dilation and extraction), the ratification of New START and the DREAM Act, all of which Lugar was identified with as a supporter. Delph appeared at Tea Party events at Indiana with the eventual Tea Party backed-candidate and then State Treasurer Richard Mourdock. <mask> withdrew in September 2011. Mourdock was left as the Tea Party-backed candidate and mounted an insurgent campaign against Lugar, winning the nomination, but losing to Democrat Joe Donnelly in the November 2012 general election. In 2012, US Representative Dan Burton announced he would retire, which opened up his Congressional seat in 2012. <mask> had worked for Burton around eight years and Burton was a political ally in Delph's bid for Indiana Secretary of State in 2002. <mask> was considered to be a potential candidate.Among those who campaigned for the Burton's open seat were Susan Brooks, a former federal prosecutor; David McIntosh, a former Congressperson; John McGoff, a former Marion County coroner; and <mask>, a former state representative and former Marion County Republican chairperson. Delph later withdrew his name from further consideration. Brooks was elected in the November election. During the 2012 Presidential primary season, Delph supported Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania for the Republican Party nomination. After 2012, <mask> has been mentioned in the media as a possible candidate to represent Indiana as a Senator in Congress. 2016 U.S. Senate race
In 2015, talk increased about a possible Delph run for the U.S. Senate. "Delph does have strong support among the tea party and social conservative groups that propelled Richard Mourdock past Richard Lugar, the incumbent and political legend, in the 2012 GOP primary," noted Indianapolis Star columnist Tim Swarens."The Indiana Family Institute, for example, named Delph its 2014 legislator of the year." The columnist added: "A lot of strange things have happened in politics in recent years, and <mask>'s appeals to traditional values, fiscal conservatism and tell-it-like-it-is bluntness are attractive to some voters. And as Indiana turns a deeper shade of red with each election cycle that may be enough to at least be a credible player." Doug Ross,  editorial page editor of The Times of Northwest Indiana, speculated in July that <mask> would vie for the seat being relinquished by U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R, who opted not to run for re-election. "Picture <mask> on the high dive," Ross wrote, "toes curled around the edge of the diving board, bouncing gently, and looking down into the deep, deep waters far below. That's where he stands on diving into the 2016 U.S. Senate race." Committee assignments

Political positions

Government reorganization
Before <mask>'s appointment to finish J. Murray Clark's final term, Senator David Long, a Republican from Fort Wayne, proposed Senate Bill 225 that addressed the merging of Allen County's governmental units, but Long took his bill out of consideration after facing opposition from a crowd of 400 people at a February 2004 public meeting in Grabill, which became known as the "Grabill Massacre."During the 2006 session of the Indiana Legislature, then House Representative Jim Buck, a Republican from Kokomo, and <mask> authored and sponsored House Enrolled Act 1362 that would allow mergers of Indiana's governmental units without the legislature's approval. After Long successfully amended the voting process for a merger between city and county, the bill went on to pass both chambers, and its final passage occurred just one minute before its deadline. The Government Modernization Act of 2006 signed by Governor Mitch Daniels led to the consolidation of the city of Zionsville with Eagle and Union townships of Boone County in January 2010, an area which is part of Delph's current district. Abortion
While <mask> was heading toward his first general election in 2006, he threw his support behind a controversial Senate Bill (Indiana SB-90) that would  make it law to  strengthen informed consent requiring information presented to women before abortions that 1) life begins at conception and 2) education about the pain felt by the unborn child. Planned Parenthood and other opponents rejected it on the grounds that the communication was religious indoctrination, the science was inconclusive, and the legislation amounted to interference in the doctor and patient relationship. Different versions passed the Indiana Senate and House and so the bills had to be reconciled in committee. In the end, the bill was unsuccessful by procedure because the necessary votes did not take place on time.Based upon the State Senate President Pro Tem Robert Garton's power to schedule votes, he lost the support of Right to Life groups and those groups threw their support behind his Republican primary challenger Greg Walker. This resulted in Garton's defeat in the May Indiana primary. Delph supported Senator Brent Steele, a Republican from Bedford and a strong opponent of abortion, during his bid to replace Garton for Senate leader in 2006, but Senator David Long won. Later, Delph was critical of a judge's decision in June 2012 on the state's law concerning the federal funding of abortion services. A US District Court judge ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood. The organization argued that state legislation to block its access to Medicaid funding for all of its services based upon its support of abortions created a conflict between state and federal powers. Delph said the courts were interfering with state executive and legislative powers.The judge's decision was upheld in October by 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Immigration
While competing for Republican nomination for Indiana Secretary of State in 2002, <mask> was considered by political observers to be seeking support from Latinos. <mask> was an author and advocate for 2011 state immigration legislation, known as Indiana SB-590, that was modeled after Arizona's controversial 2010 immigration law. SB-590 passed in the State Senate. The Indiana House removed several controversial parts from the original Senate version. <mask> then negotiated the compromise between the House and Senate.After Governor Mitch Daniels signed it into law, a US District Court judge blocked two sections of the law. Other states, such as Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Utah also passed similar legislation, and like Arizona's those laws were challenged in court. Attorney General Greg Zoeller gave up on three warrantless arrest provisions of the law after the Supreme Court decided the Arizona v. United States case in July 2012. Judge Sarah Evans Barker of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana heard the case and eliminated portions of it. Zoeller did not appeal the decision. Same-sex marriage amendment
In 2011, the Indiana legislature passed the Marriage Amendment to make Indiana's current statute on the definition of marriage as between a man and woman part of the Indiana Constitution. According to Indiana's constitutional amendment process, two consecutive elected legislatures must pass the same amendment before it is sent to voters.When Republicans raised the issue with HJR-3 in 2014, <mask> became a prominent spokesperson for passage in the media pushing for statewide vote. <mask> told WRTV that according to his survey 60 percent of his constituents wanted to vote on the amendment in November. The amendment did not pass during session because of a controversial second sentence that would have also banned on civil unions. During the process, the second sentence was removed by each chamber. <mask> was critical of traditional supporters of the amendment, especially Senate leader David Long and House Speaker Brian Bosma, who did not exert their political influence during the most favorable political climate for its passage. <mask> criticized Long for moving the hearing for the amendment from the Judiciary Committee, led by social conservative Senator Brent Steele, to the Rules and Legislative Procedures Committee, headed by Long, and the change to the second sentence was made in the less favorable committee. <mask> and some others then voted against the senate version as the second sentence, in their view, better protected a passed amendment from a later judiciary challenge.Controversies or media attention

Mother

While it had already been reported in 1990 that <mask>'s mother <mask> was in the employ of Dan Burton's federal reelection campaign and had at that time received US$1500, she was mentioned again during a time period when Dan Burton was one of Bill Clinton's most vocal critics during Clinton's impeachment process. In 1998, while <mask> worked on Congressman Dan Burton's staff, Salon reported that <mask>'s mother was a possible "ghost employee" of Burton's federal political campaigns although her ex-husband and the state senator's father was unaware of her campaign work. <mask> had known Dan Burton since the 1960s. Burton had served as a reference for <mask> and he employed him out of college. The Washington Post also named Claudia Keller as another salary recipient who was a possible "ghost employee" and reported that her family members were also paid by Burton. In addition, Burton revealed in 1998 that he was the father of a child by a woman who was not his wife and that the boy was then fifteen years old. Although the Congressional Accountability Project filed a letter of complaint against Burton, which also made mention of <mask>, the ethics investigation in the media was never pursued by the Congressional Ethics Committee.Military uniform

In 2008, <mask> was investigated by the US military when a fellow reserve officer from his unit wore a military uniform and appeared alongside <mask> at Delph's press conference. The officer was speaking in favor of Delph's immigration legislation. Both officers were with the same 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command. At the time, <mask> was a captain and a company commander with the 310th. The other officer was a lieutenant colonel with the same unit. Members of the military are prohibited from wearing uniforms at political events and appearing to side with any political group. <mask> was the one who suggested the officer wear his uniform to the press conference.Tim Durham

In 2011, <mask> announced he would return US$10,000 dollars in campaign funds from 2006 and 2007 donated by Tim Durham. The Indianapolis-based businessman would later be convicted and sentenced to 50 years for his role in a Ponzi scheme. Durham had supported Indiana Republicans, including then Governor  Mitch Daniels' acceptance of just under US$200,000. Brother
During a public debate over Twitter about his support for an amendment that would ban same-sex marriage by constitution in 2014, <mask> said his brother Stephen is a homosexual. His brother conducted interviews and said he disagreed with his brother on the amendment but said all his brothers had always been supportive. Stephen said <mask> even suggested he date an old college friend; Senator <mask> said he was not a matchmaker but encouraged his brother to seek out positive friends. Discipline sanction by State Senate leader
In 2014, <mask> made what was called in Indiana "the tweet heard around the world" about the defeat of HJR-3 in a form social conservatives wanted to move to voters in the fall.During the 2014 session, <mask> was sanctioned by State Senate President Pro Tem David Long for "bluntly speaking his mind" about what he perceived as Long's and other party leaders' mishandling of the same-sex marriage amendment. <mask> also said in a press conference that he tweeted information from the Senate floor based on his own vote count. As a result of Long's punishment, <mask> lost his status as a ranking member of the State Senate Judiciary Committee, was stripped of his communication position within the majority and of his press secretary, and was moved in the chamber to sit with the minority Democrats. His press conferences and tweets promoted his name recognition throughout the state as a leader for the amendment's passage. He told journalists after he had "no regrets" and had "strong beliefs" about the issue. Awards and honors

<mask> (born June 23, 1947), is an American artist and inventor. Personal life and education
<mask> was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin to parents <mask>, a Marine pilot and inventor, and <mask>. He has two brothers, John and James. <mask> attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He received his MFA in 1971 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. On September 26, 1990 <mask> married Catherine Matisse Monnier, a great granddaughter of Henri Matisse and granddaughter of Marcel Duchamp. <mask> and his family live in New York City.Career
<mask>'s work incorporates scientific themes. <mask> built Squat, an interactive robotic sculpture at his father's battery manufacturing plant in the summer of 1966. Squat won the Pauline Palmer Prize at the Chicago Art Institute that year in a show juried by James Speyer and Walter Hopps. Squat, made at 19 years old, was included in the landmark exhibition The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1969. It is considered a seminal work in robotic art. In 2019, "Squat" was restored under the direction of the artist by a team led by Robert Sieger, at Guardian Fine Art, Milwaukee, WI. Restored, "Squat" was a key work of art in a June-August 2019 exhibition of international sculpture, curated by Laura Sims Peck, at The Warehouse, Milwaukee, WI.The exhibition included work by twenty-one artists from twelve countries and three continents. During the run of the exhibition, <mask> presented an overview of his work which was videoed, and is the core of a new documentary film being made on <mask>'s work and career. In 1981, the first of <mask>'s large magnetically levitated sculptures, the seven-meter long Compass of Love, was exhibited in New York, then purchased by the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. The system of permanent magnets employed was designed by <mask>. In 1983, <mask> patented and produced an edition of 20 World Clocks with the participation of Fuller and Sadao's cartography. An example is in the collection of the Buckminster Fuller Institute and the Smithsonian American History Museum. Pontus Hulten, through the French Ministry of Culture, commissioned <mask> to make a major work for La Villette.<mask> designed a 17-meter diameter spherical array of computer-controlled RGB LED nodes equidistantly spaced like atoms in a crystal, called The Crystal Ball.
. In 1991, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm purchased <mask>'s first room-sized magnetic array, Compass Moon Atom Room. In 2000, <mask> commissioned Aerovironment to perform a feasibility study for Air Genie Video Airship. A US Patent was granted 2003. <mask> was commissioned by the Grande Palais in Paris to make a movie of his Airlands project (aka Outlands) for a major millennial show covering ten thousand years of Visions of the Future. His sculptures have since been included in international exhibitions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Stedelijk Museum, Moderna Museet, the Venice Biennale, the Sao Paulo Biennial, the Biennale de Lyon, the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Art Tower Mito and the Whitney Museum. He was a featured artist at the 2003 TED Conference where he presented Air Genie, a spherical helium airship whose entire surface is a LED video screen.He also presented a series of paintings made by a remote-controlled pendulum in another TED talk in 2009. Sculpture
<mask>'s work is idea driven. His subject matter is that of existential conditions, i.e., the forces, properties, characteristics, proportions, the web of sensations and knowledge of which we are a part. For example, Ray (1986) is a sculpture of the spheres of the Sun and Earth in proportion, and the cone of energy, gravity, electromagnetic, luminous, that connects the two. <mask> makes magnetically levitated sculpture. The sculptures are suspended using permanent magnets. His series of suspended arrays includes room-filling three-dimensional crystalline arrangements of magnetic spheres each of which orient to Earth's magnetic field like a compass.His recent work includes large outdoor sculptures which behave as weightless objects. The sculpture's internal mechanisms consisted of axles, ball-bearings, universal joints, ball & sockets, fulcrums and massive counterweights, give them the ability to spin, tilt, rise/fall and glide horizontally and eventually return to equilibrium. <mask> designed the TED Prize, the Buckminster Fuller prize and the Trophee Jules Verne installed at the Musee de la Marine in Paris. In November 2019, the Science Museum Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, OK opened a year-long exhibition of new and older work by <mask> entitled "<mask>: Universe in the Mind | Mind in the Universe". In the spring of 2020, 30-foot sculpture of Platonic solids will be installed at the entrance of the museum. Paintings
Throughout his career <mask> has used several techniques for making paintings. At first he used traditional brush and ink (or watercolor or oil) to create paintings the subjects of which were typically projects he was working on or projects in a setting, such as a sculpture in a landscape.<mask> then developed "Evaporations," a technique where aqueous paint was poured on a sheet of paper, and over time – a few days or weeks – the water would evaporate, leaving the pigment in dry "lakes" of color. An important concept in this painting technique is that the pigment is held "in suspension", a color particle, as it were, "floating" in a fluid. For <mask>, this was microscopic levitation, with a visual record of the pigment's "descent" onto a paper "ground". It was also for him a way to co-author a painting with nature, a lesson learned from John Cage. Another co-authoring with nature is <mask>'s Trajectory series, where he tossed rubber balls wet with paint on inclined canvases, capturing the natural parabolic curve of the ball's path in gravity. The Paint Pendulum paintings are made using a radio-controlled six color pendulum paint dispenser of the artist's invention. The pendulum paint dispenser, controlled by the artist, released paint in discrete drops, like a very large inkjet printer, or smooth flowing streams of color.Recently in mid-2015, <mask> experimented with another painting format, which he calls Aerial Painting, where viewers can look at two-dimensional pattern on a canvas, which optically becomes a three-dimensional image, this without red and green glasses or other mechanical aids. "Looking 'through' a painting is something you do naturally," said <mask>. "It's the same as gazing at a distant horizon. Your brain re-orders space on the canvas, creating a natural 3D space, where objects hover in front and behind the canvas." An example of this technique is the painting "Mind Expansion." For <mask> this is another form of levitation, one of the recurring themes of his work. Patents

Air Genie Video Airship

The Video Airship is an ongoing project which weaves together several themes in <mask>'s work. In the late 60's <mask> proposed spherical televisions linked to orbiting camera satellites. Buckminster Fuller had earlier proposed a 200-ft sphere covered with lights to display Earth to the United Nations. <mask> designed a LED-covered spherical blimp with cameras that could land at school campuses and other public locations to deliver education and at night host rave dances.Aerovironment, Inc., the engineering firm founded by aeronautics legend Paul MacCready, found the design feasible; it can be aerodynamically controlled and can present clear computer video in daylight.
