James P<mask> (born October 9, 1949) is an American comics artist and writer. Beginning his career in the early 1970s, he is best known for space opera stories, for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock, and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and Shang-Chi. Later, for DC Comics, he drew many of their iconic characters, including Darkseid and other characters from Jack Kirby's Fourth World, and scripted the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, during his run on Batman. For Epic Illustrated, he created his own character, Dreadstar. Early life
<mask> was born on October 9, 1949, in Detroit, Michigan. He had a Catholic upbringing. In the 1960s, <mask> served as an aviation photographer in the US Navy in Vietnam.During his off duty time, he drew and submitted various comics. Early career
After leaving the Navy, <mask> sold two stories to DC Comics. After writing and drawing stories for a number of fan publications, <mask> entered the comics industry in 1972, working for Roy Thomas and John Romita at Marvel Comics. Starlin was part of the generation of artists and writers who grew up as fans of Silver Age Marvel Comics. At a Steve Ditko-focused panel at the 2008 Comic-Con International, <mask> said, "Everything I learned about storytelling was [due to] him or Kirby. [Ditko] did the best layouts." <mask>'s first job for Marvel was as a finisher on pages of The Amazing Spider-Man.He then drew three issues of Iron Man, that introduced the characters Thanos and Drax the Destroyer. He was then given the chance to draw an issue (#25) of the "cosmic" title Captain Marvel. <mask> took over as plotter the following issue, and began developing an elaborate story arc centered on the villainous Thanos, and spread across a number of Marvel titles. <mask> left Captain Marvel one issue after concluding his Thanos saga. Concurrently in the mid-1970s, <mask> contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. <mask> also drew "The Secret of Skull River", inked by frequent collaborator Al Milgrom, for Savage Tales #5 (July 1974).After working on Captain Marvel, <mask> and writer Steve Englehart co-created the character Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, though they only worked on the early issues of the Master of Kung Fu series. <mask> then took over the title Warlock, starring a genetically engineered being created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the 1960s and re-imagined by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane in the 1970s as a Jesus Christ-like figure on an alternate Earth. Envisioning the character as philosophical and existentially tortured, <mask> wrote and drew a complex space opera with theological and psychological themes. Warlock confronted the militaristic Universal Church of Truth, eventually revealed to be created and led by an evil evolution of his future–past self, known as Magus. Starlin ultimately incorporated Thanos into this story. Comics historian Les Daniels noted that "In a brief stint with Marvel, which included work on two characters [Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock] that had previously never quite made their mark, Starlin managed to build a considerable cult following." In Fall 1978, <mask>, Howard Chaykin, Walt Simonson, and Val Mayerik formed Upstart Associates, a shared studio space on West 29th Street in New York City.The membership of the studio changed over time. Death and suicide are recurring themes in <mask>'s work: Personifications of Death appeared in his Captain Marvel series and in a fill-in story for Ghost Rider; Warlock commits suicide by killing his future self; and suicide is a theme in a story he plotted and drew for The Rampaging Hulk magazine. <mask> occasionally worked for Marvel's chief competitor DC Comics and drew stories for Legion of Super-Heroes and the "Batman" feature in Detective Comics in the late 1970s. 1980s
<mask> co-created the supervillain Mongul with writer Len Wein in DC Comics Presents #27 (Nov. 1980). The new decade found <mask> creating an expansive story titled "the Metamorphosis Odyssey", which introduced the character of Vanth Dreadstar in Epic Illustrated #3. From its beginning in Epic Illustrated, the initial story was painted in monochromatic grays, eventually added to with other tones, and finally becoming full color. The storyline was further developed in The Price and Marvel Graphic Novel #3 and eventually the long-running Dreadstar comic book, published first by Epic Comics, and then by First Comics.<mask> was given the opportunity to produce a one-shot story in which to kill off a main character. The Death of Captain Marvel became the first graphic novel published by Marvel itself. <mask> and Bernie Wrightson produced Heroes for Hope, a 1985 one-shot designed to raise money for African famine relief and recovery. Published in the form of a "comic jam," the book featured an all-star lineup of comics creators as well as a few notable authors from outside the comic book industry, such as Stephen King, George R. R. Martin, Harlan Ellison, and Edward Bryant. In 1986, he and Wrightson produced a second benefit comic for famine relief. Heroes Against Hunger, featuring Superman and Batman, was published by DC and like the earlier Marvel benefit project featured many top comics creators. <mask> became the writer of Batman and one of his first storylines for the title was "Ten Nights of The Beast" in issues #417–420 (March – June 1988) which introduced the KGBeast.<mask> then wrote the four-issue miniseries Batman: The Cult (Aug.–Nov. 1988) drawn by Wrightson, and the storyline "Batman: A Death in the Family", in Batman #426–429 (Dec. 1988 – Jan. 1989), in which Jason Todd, the second of Batman's Robin sidekicks, was killed by the Joker. The death was decided by fans, as DC Comics set up a hotline for readers to vote on as to whether or not Jason Todd should survive a potentially fatal situation. <mask> was fired off the Batman title soon afterward. Other projects for DC included writing The Weird drawn by Wrightson and Cosmic Odyssey drawn by Mike Mignola. <mask> wrote and drew Gilgamesh II in 1989 before returning to Marvel. Later career

Back at Marvel, <mask> began scripting a revival of the Silver Surfer series.As had become his Marvel norm, he introduced his creation Thanos into the story arc, which led to The Infinity Gauntlet miniseries and its crossover storyline. Here, <mask> brought back Adam Warlock, whom he had killed years earlier in his concluding Warlock story in The Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel Two-in-One Annual #2 in 1977. The Infinity Gauntlet proved successful and was followed by the sequel miniseries The Infinity War and Infinity Crusade. For DC he created Hardcore Station in 1998. In 2003, <mask> wrote and drew the Marvel Comics miniseries Marvel: The End. The series starred Thanos and a multitude of Marvel characters, and subsequently, <mask> was assigned an eponymous Thanos series. <mask> then worked for independent companies, creating Cosmic Guard (later renamed Kid Cosmos) published by Devil's Due and then Dynamite Entertainment in 2006.<mask> returned to DC and, with artist Shane Davis, wrote the miniseries Mystery in Space vol. 2, featuring Captain Comet and <mask>'s earlier creation, the Weird. In 2007–2008, he worked on the DC miniseries Death of the New Gods and Rann-Thanagar Holy War, as well as a Hawkman tie-in which altered the character's origins. He wrote the eight-issue miniseries Strange Adventures in 2009 and in 2013, became the writer of Stormwatch, one of the series of The New 52 line, beginning with issue #19. In 2016, <mask>'s drawing hand was injured in an accident, which limited him to writing stories without the opportunity to illustrate them. "It takes me two minutes to write the sentence and will take the artist a day and a half to draw the scene. But there is a certain satisfaction to the drawing part … you get up from the drawing board at the end of the day and there’s this image there that wasn’t there before.That’s very satisfying and I miss that." In early 2020 it was announced that <mask> had rehabilitated his drawing hand and would be publishing a new Dreadstar graphic novel, Dreadstar Returns, backed by a successful Kickstarter campaign. The book was published in June 2021. Other work
<mask> co-wrote four novels with his then wife Daina Graziunas (whom he married in October 1980): Among Madmen (1990, Roc Books), Lady El (1992, Roc Books), Thinning the Predators (1996, Warner Books; paperback edition entitled Predators); and Pawns (1989, serialized in comic book Dreadstar #42–54). <mask> makes a cameo appearance in the film Avengers: Endgame as a member of Steve Rogers's support group. 3 #2–4 (writer, with Paris Cullins, 1989)

<mask>. (July 1, 1877 – November 26, 1970) was a United States Army general. In 1940, he became the first African-American to rise to the rank of brigadier general. He was the father of Air Force General <mask><mask>. According to historian Russell Weigley, his career is significant not for his personal accomplishments, because he was only allowed a limited range of responsibilities, but as an indicator of a small forward movement for African Americans in the United States Army in the World War II era. The New Deal era of Franklin D. Roosevelt was favorable toward African Americans, and in 1940 he appointed <mask> as the first Black general. During World War II, <mask> held troubleshooting staff assignments designed to assist the expanded role of African Americans, albeit in segregated units. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Washington, D.C., the third child of Louis P. H<mask> and Henrietta (née Stewart<mask>.Biographer Marvin Fletcher has presented evidence that <mask> was born in May 1880, citing a June 1880 census document. Fletcher concludes that <mask> lied about his age so that he could enlist in the Army without the permission of his parents. The birth date that appears on <mask>'s gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery is July 1, 1877, the date he provided to the Army. <mask> attended M Street High School in Washington, where he participated in the school's cadet program. During his senior year of high school he took some classes at Howard University. His father, a messenger for the Interior Department, and his mother, a nurse, urged him to enroll in college after high school. Against his parents' wishes, he determined to pursue a military career.Career

After graduating from high school, in response to the start of the Spanish–American War, <mask> entered the military service on July 13, 1898, as a temporary first lieutenant in the 8th United States Volunteer Infantry, an all-African-American unit. This regiment was stationed at Chickamauga Park, Georgia, from October 1898 until the unit was disbanded in March 1899. During the war, <mask> briefly served in Company D, 1st Separate Battalion of the Washington D.C. National Guard. <mask> was mustered out on March 6, 1899, and on June 18, 1899, he enlisted as a private in Troop I, 9th Cavalry Regiment (one of the original Buffalo Soldier regiments), of the Regular Army. At his post in Fort Duchesne, Utah, he served first as the troop's clerk and later as squadron sergeant major through 1900. In late 1900, <mask>'s unit was commanded by Lieutenant Charles Young, the only African-American officer serving in the US military at that time. Young encouraged <mask>'s ambition to become an officer.Young tutored <mask> in all of the subjects that were covered in the officer candidate test, especially mathematics, which had been the most difficult subject Young had encountered at the United States Military Academy at West Point. In early 1901 <mask> passed the test at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, his highest score coming in the math section. (A second African American, John E. Green, passed the test along with 10 other soldiers.) On February 2, 1901, <mask> was commissioned a second lieutenant of Cavalry in the Regular Army. In the spring of 1901, Troop I was posted overseas to serve in the Philippine–American War. In August 1901, <mask> was assigned to Troop F, 10th Cavalry, where he assumed the duties of a second lieutenant. Troop F returned to the US in August 1902.<mask> was then stationed at Fort Washakie, Wyoming, where he also served for several months with Troop M. In September 1905, he was assigned to the traditionally Black Wilberforce College in Ohio as Professor of Military Science and Tactics, a post that he filled for four years. In November 1909, shortly after being ordered to Regimental Headquarters, 9th Cavalry, <mask> was reassigned for duty to Liberia. He left the United States for Liberia in April 1910, and served as a military attaché reporting on Liberia's military forces until October 1911. He returned to the United States in November 1911. In January 1912, <mask> was assigned to Troop I, 9th Cavalry, stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. In 1913, the 9th Cavalry was assigned to patrol the Mexican-United States border. In February 1915, <mask> was again assigned to Wilberforce College as Professor of Military Science and Tactics.From 1917 to 1920, <mask> was assigned to the 9th Cavalry at Fort Stotsenburg, Philippine Islands, as supply officer, commander of the 3rd Squadron, and then of the 1st Squadron. He reached the temporary rank of lieutenant colonel but returned to the United States in March 1920 with the rank of captain. <mask> was assigned to the traditionally Black Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in Tuskegee, Alabama, as the professor of military science and tactics from 1920 to 1924. He then served for five years as an instructor with 2nd Battalion, 372nd Regiment, Ohio National Guard, in Cleveland, Ohio. In September 1929, <mask> returned to Wilberforce as a professor of military science and tactics. He was assigned to the Tuskegee Institute in the early part of 1931 and remained there for six years as a professor of military science and tactics. During the summer months of 1930 to 1933, <mask> escorted pilgrimages of World War I Gold Star mothers and widows to the burial places of their loved ones in Europe.In August 1937, <mask> returned to Wilberforce University as a professor of military science and tactics. <mask> was assigned to the 369th Regiment, New York National Guard, during the summer of 1938, and took command of the regiment a short time later. <mask> was promoted to brigadier general on October 25, 1940, becoming the first African-American general officer in the United States Army. World War II

<mask> became commanding general of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, 2nd Cavalry Division at Fort Riley, Kansas, in January 1941. About six months later, he was assigned to Washington, D.C. as an assistant in the Office of the Inspector General. While serving in the Office of the Inspector General, <mask> also served on the Advisory Committee on Negro Troop Policies. From 1941 to 1944, <mask> conducted inspection tours of African-American soldiers in the United States Army.From September to November 1942 and again from July to November 1944, <mask> made inspection tours of African-American soldiers stationed in Europe. On November 10, 1944, <mask> was reassigned to work under Lieutenant General John C. H. Lee as special assistant to the commanding general, Communications Zone, European Theater of Operations. He served with the General Inspectorate Section, European Theater of Operation (later the Office of the Inspector General on Europe) from January through May 1945. While serving in the European Theater of Operations, <mask> was influential in the proposed policy of integration using replacement units. Later life and death
After serving in the European Theater of Operations for more than a year, <mask> returned to Washington, D.C. as an assistant to the Inspector General. In 1947 he was assigned as a special assistant to the Secretary of the Army. In this capacity, he was again sent to Liberia in July 1947 as a representative of the United States for the African country's centennial celebration.On July 20, 1948, after fifty years of military service, <mask> retired in a public ceremony with President Harry S. Truman presiding. 6 days later on July 26, 1948, President Truman issued Executive Order 9981 which abolished racial discrimination in the United States armed forces.

<mask> () (died September 14, 820), courtesy name Jianhou (), was an official of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty, briefly commissioned as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xianzong — but declining the office and never actually exercising the authorities of the office. Background
It is not known when <mask> was born, but it is known that his family was originally from Jiangxia (江夏, in modern Wuhan, Hubei). His family claimed to be descended from the Warring States period State of Zhao general <mask> and also claimed ancestry through a line of officials of Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Jin Dynasty (266–420). By the time of <mask>'s great-great-grandfather <mask> (), the family had relocated to Guangling (廣陵, in modern Yangzhou, Jiangsu). <mask>'s grandfather <mask> () served as a prefectural military officer, while his father <mask> () served as an imperial archiver. He had at least one older brother, <mask> (). <mask> himself passed the imperial examinations during the Dali era (766-779) of Emperor Daizong, and he scored high in the class of those who were capable of rendering legal judgments.He was made Mishu Zhengzi (), a copyeditor at the Palace Library. He was later invited by the general <mask>ng to serve on <mask>ng's staff. During Emperor Dezong's reign
After <mask>ng rebelled against the rule of Emperor Daizong's son Emperor Dezong in 784 and took up position at Hezhong (河中, in modern Yuncheng, Shanxi), <mask> was concerned that his continuing to serve under <mask>ng would cause harm to his family, and therefore informed <mask>ng that his older brother was ill at the eastern capital Luoyang and that his mother wished to see his older brother. <mask>ng agreed, but forbid <mask> from sending his wife and children as well. Instead, <mask> sent his mother, wife, and children to Luoyang. When <mask>ng became aware of this and rebuked him, he responded, "I, <mask>, belongs to this army and therefore cannot follow my mother to serve her, but why would you not let my wife serve her mother-in-law?" <mask>ng could not fault him.In 785, after <mask>ng's officer Lü Mingyue () was found to be secretly in communications with the imperial general Ma Sui, <mask>ng massacred Lü's family and further discovered that <mask> and his colleague Gao Ying were also involved. When <mask>ng gathered the troops and publicly rebuked <mask> and Gao, both of them responded that they were merely being faithful to the emperor. <mask>ng did not kill them, but put them under arrest. After <mask>ng committed suicide later in the year, and his troops surrendered to Ma, Ma released <mask> and Gao and invited them to serve on his staff. Later, after his advice was not accepted by Ma, he left Ma's staff and retired to Luoyang. <mask> () the Prince of Cao, who then served as the military governor (Jiedushi) of Shannan East Circuit (山南東道, headquartered in modern Xiangfan, Hubei), then invited him to serve on staff, and he did so. He was later recalled to the capital Chang'an to serve as <mask> Yuanwailang (), a low-level official at the ministry of civil service affairs (吏部, Libu).In 800, after Zhang Jianfeng the military governor of Xusihao Circuit (徐泗濠, headquartered in modern Xuzhou, Jiangsu) died, the soldiers rejected the imperial orders and supported Zhang Jianfeng's son Zhang Yin () as Zhang Jianfeng's successor, killing several officers who were obeying imperial orders and putting the eunuch monitor under arrest. Zhang Yin thus claimed the title of acting military governor. Emperor Dezong sent <mask> to Xusihao's capital Xu Prefecture () to try to comfort the troops. <mask> persuaded the soldiers to release the eunuch monitor. Zhang Yin submitted a petition and asked <mask> to relay it for him. <mask>, seeing that Zhang Yin referred to himself as acting military governor, pointed out that it was not an imperially sanctioned office and told him to delete the reference, before agreeing to relay the petition for Zhang Yin. Subsequently, Emperor Dezong made Zhang Yin the military prefect (團練使, Tuanlianshi) of Xu Prefecture.After <mask>'s return to Chang'an, he was promoted to be <mask> Shilang (), a supervisorial official at the ministry of civil service affairs. During Emperor Shunzong's reign
After Emperor Dezong died in 805 and was succeeded by his severely ill son Emperor Shunzong, <mask> was made deputy chief imperial censor (御史中丞, Yushi Zhongcheng). He was then made the mayor of Jingzhao Municipality (京兆, i.e., the Chang'an region) and then Shangshu You Cheng (), one of the secretaries general of the executive bureau of government (尚書省, Shangshu Sheng). During Emperor Xianzong's reign
Early in the Yuanhe era (805-821) of Emperor Shunzong's son Emperor Xianzong, at a time when there was much banditry at Chang'an, <mask> was again made the mayor of Jingzhao. It was said that he made much improvement in the safety at Chang'an and became well known for it. He was soon made the military governor of Fengxiang () and Longyou () Circuits (both headquartered in modern Baoji, Shaanxi), as well as the mayor of Fengxiang Municipality (i.e., the capital of Fengxiang Circuit). Previously, the military governors of Fengxiang often also carried the title of commander of the Shence Army soldiers stationed at Fengxiang, and thus often went to meet the eunuch commanders of the Shence Army prior to going to Fengxiang.<mask> found this to be inappropriate, and at his request, Emperor Xianzong did not give him the title of commander of Shence Army soldiers at Fengxiang. In 809, after the chancellor Pei Ji pointed out to Emperor Xianzong that Yan Shou () the military governor of Hedong Circuit (河東, headquartered in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi) was incompetent and recommended <mask> as his replacement, Emperor Xianzong recalled Yan to Chang'an and made <mask> the military governor of Hedong. He was later recalled to serve as the minister of justice (刑部尚書, Xingbu Shangshu), chief imperial censor (御史大夫, Yushi Daifu), and the director of the salt and iron monopolies and grain supplies. In 809, when Emperor Xianzong was set to commission the powerful eunuch Tutu Chengcui as the commander of the imperial forces against the warlord Wang Chengzong, who controlled Chengde Circuit (成德, headquartered in modern Shijiazhuang, Hebei), <mask>, along with other officials <mask> (), Xu Mengrong (), <mask>an, Meng Jian (), Lü Yuanying (), Mu Zhi (), and Dugu Yu () all opposed, and Emperor Xianzong, while still putting Tutu in command, reduced Tutu's title. In 810, <mask> was made the military governor of Huainan Circuit (淮南, headquartered in modern Yangzhou) and the secretary general of its capital Yang Prefecture (). It was said that <mask> did not serve long at either Fengxiang or Hedong because he was stern and often changed regulations, causing the people to be unsettled. At Huainan, he was also stern, but it was said that the circuit was well-governed and wealthy.However, he was also said to be harsh in his governance, and his staff members could not stop the officers and technocrats under him from exercising the laws harshly, including carrying out many executions. His reputation thus suffered. When the imperial government waged a campaign against the warlord Wu Yuanji, who controlled Zhangyi Circuit (彰義, headquartered in modern Zhumadian, Henan), and Wu Yuanji's ally <mask>o the military governor of Pinglu Circuit (平盧, headquartered in modern Tai'an, Shandong) dispatched troops to pressure Huainan's borders, <mask> dispatched some 20,000 soldiers from Chu (楚州, in modern Huai'an, Jiangsu) and Shou (壽州, in modern Lu'an, Anhui) Prefectures to defend against possible actions by Wu and <mask>o, without requesting funds from the imperial government. Further, at that time, as the imperial treasury was being depleted by the campaign against Wu, Emperor Xianzong sent the deputy director of monopolies, Cheng Yi to tour the circuits to look for additional sources of revenue. <mask> submitted the surpluses that Huainan had, and the other circuits followed, thus relieving the imperial treasury from depletion. Meanwhile, in 811, Tutu had been demoted and made the eunuch monitor at Huainan. It was said that he and <mask> respected each other and did not offend each other.After Tutu was recalled to Chang'an in 814, he recommended <mask> as chancellor. Late 817, Emperor Xianzong recalled <mask> to be Menxia Shilang (), the deputy head of the examination bureau (門下省, Menxia Sheng) and chancellor de facto with the title Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (). However, <mask> did not consider himself capable to be chancellor and further felt ashamed to have been recommended by a eunuch. When the staff members played music to celebrate, <mask> wept and stated, "I like being secure in a circuit in my old age, and a chancellorship is not properly mine." When he arrived in Chang'an around new year 818, he claimed to be ill and did not attend to the duties of chancellor. He further declined an audience with Emperor Xianzong, and when his subordinates arrived at his mansion to see him, he declined to see them. He submitted repeated offers to resign.In spring 818, Emperor Xianzong made him the minister of census (戶部尚書, Hubu Shangshu) and removed him from his chancellor position, replacing him with <mask>an. He was subsequently made an advisor to <mask> the Crown Prince but ordered to report to Luoyang, and soon retired. During Emperor Muzong's reign
In 820, by which time Emperor Xianzong had died and been succeeded by <mask>ng (as Emperor Muzong), <mask> died. He was given posthumous honors and the posthumous name Su (肅, "solemn"). His grandson <mask> later served as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Zhaozong. Notes and references

She has a clear, bitter-sweet voice and provides poignant semi-biographical lyrics. At the ARIA Music Awards she has been nominated nine times. Biography

<mask> is the daughter of social realist painter, <mask>, and grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Chadstone with her elder brother <mask> (born 1959), who is also a painter, and a younger brother <mask>. Lewis won the 1998 Archibald Prize. <mask> started writing songs at fourteen and has memories of being in a folk music duo with a friend, Tracey, "I played flute, she played guitar and sang, and we wore matching paisley dresses that went to the floor, and played at coffee houses where people drank hot chocolates with marshmallows."Tracey later married <mask>'s brother Paul to become Tracey <mask>, and, as from 2005, was also a country music singer-songwriter. While working as a secondary school teacher, <mask>'s first rock group were the Hepeleptics, in 1986. She became vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the Whole Shebang in the following year. <mask> wrote their track, "Another Sunday Morning", which appeared on a various artists' compilation album, The Preston Story, Vol. 1, in 1995 via Canetoad Records. She also sang in the Everlovin' O'Sheas, with Andy Baylor, Rick O'Shea and Warren Rough in 1988. In 1989 she travelled to the United States to hear music in Memphis, Nashville, Austin, New Orleans and San Francisco.<mask> returned to Melbourne in 1990 and re-joined Baylor in the Prestones, alongside Steve Mander, Victor O'Neill, Graeme Thomas and Gary Young. She formed her own roots rock band, the Trailblazers (1990–91), on lead vocals with Mark Ferrie (ex-Models, Sacred Cowboys) on bass guitar, Nick Grant on guitar, Martin Lubran on pedal steel guitar and Tony Thornton on drums. <mask> and Ferrie renamed the group as Truckasaurus in 1993 with additional members, Ed Bates on guitar and Graham Lee on pedal steel guitar. They favoured original material by <mask> or Ferrie and issued a self-titled album in 1993 before <mask> left to be replaced by Kaarin Fairfax on lead vocals in 1994. In 1994 <mask> went solo and released two extended plays on the In-Law label: Do That for You (May 1995) and All Worked Out (November). The first EP had four tracks with co-production by <mask> with Steve Hoy and Gordon Blake, and recorded at the Gershwin Room, Esplanade Hotel, Melbourne. The second EP had five tracks and was co-produced with Shane O'Mara and recorded at O'Mara's home studio, Yikesville, "[with] an ADAT recorder and a couple of cheap delay units in the spare bedroom, rather than the sophisticated backyard operation it is today.<mask> is adamant that she came up with the name 'Yikesville' during this session, but Shane doesn't believe her". O'Mara mixed it, "one night when the ARIA awards were on (the year Silverchair and Tim Rogers did 'New Race'). <mask> and Rebecca spent the evening glued to the telly, while Shane and Ben [Lempriere] got progressively drunker over the 8-track Mackie desk." Her debut album, Quiet Girl with a Credit Card, followed in June 1996 on the W.Minc label and distributed by Shock Records. It had been recorded in April 1995 with former bandmate, Graham Lee, producing at Fortissimo Studios, South Melbourne. Dave Dawson of Impress Magazine observed that <mask>'s US trip, "with country radio as a sporadic soundtrack, was the fertile fuel which prompted her to quit teaching when she arrived home, manage stores selling Americana gear and sing for her supper in Suburban bars." He felt that, "The long gestation period for this album has been a blessing – songs that began life in one guise have, by osmosis, developed new cloaks... country and western... is a far cry from Ms <mask>'s eclectic mix of country, funk, folk and pop."It was also issued in the United Kingdom on Demon Records, to date her only release outside of Australia. Three years later her second album, As Far as a Life Goes (June 1999), appeared on the W.Minc label, albeit via the now-defunct, Festival Mushroom Records. It was produced by Barry Palmer (Deadstar, Mark Seymour, Christopher Marshall) at Sing Sing Studios, Richmond in September 1998. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1999 she was nominated for Best Female Artist for As Far as a Life Goes. After sorting out troubles with her record companies, <mask> released an album, Car Tape, of cover versions in May 2002 for the fledgling Melbourne label, Raoul Records, which is run by her husband, Ben Lempriere. It found her in a country-soul vein and was a critical success. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt it was, "a delightful and idiosyncratic collection of songs."Her material was mostly by US singer-songwriters including, Arthur Alexander, Karen Dalton, Charlie Rich and Townes Van Zandt. She also provided her rendition of Tim Rogers' "Word for Sadness", which appeared on You Am I's fifth album, Deliverance in September. According to <mask> it was named for, "grimy cassettes which get stuck, and you have to stick a pen into the reel to wind them up. And they're funny songs that someone puts on a tape because they're special to them, and they're often a bit odd." Car Tape was produced, recorded and mixed by O'Mara at his studio, at various times during 2000 and 2001. It peaked at No. 8 on the ARIA Hitseekers Albums and No.24 on the ARIA Alternative Albums chart. O'Mara later recalled, "It was sort of when everything clicked and I found my feet or something. It was through that album that I met Tim Rogers who told me he loved what I did on <mask>'s album." She received three more ARIA Music Award nominations in 2002: for Best Female Artist, Best Independent Release and Best Adult Contemporary Album for Car Tape. It was one of the best-selling Australian independent releases of 2002. In 2003 she released her fourth album, Version Originale, a CD of original compositions, that was also warmly received by critics. With her band, featuring guitarist and producer, O'Mara, <mask> has been a sporadic live performer in and around Melbourne, with forays up the east coast of Australia, including the Byron Bay Blues Festival.She has played with Billy Bragg and toured Australia with Neil Young and Nick Cave. She has also appeared on recordings by Australian musicians David McComb, Tim Rogers, Tex Perkins, Andy Baylor, Barb Waters, Doug Mansfield, Amanda Brown (of The Go-Betweens) and David Chesworth. At one time she was managed by the late Mick Geyer (close associate of Nick Cave), but is now self-managed. In 2004 <mask> released the EP, Pushover, which features five songs recorded live on the 2003 Neil Young tour. She was again nominated in the Best Female Artist category at the 2004 ARIA Awards, at which – once again – she was beaten by Kasey Chambers. <mask> collaborated with composer Amanda Brown on a number of songs for the feature film, Look Both Ways, but only one track, "Eleven", made the final selection. In 2005 she recorded a version of the Split Enz song "I Hope I Never" for She Will Have Her Way, a tribute album of female Australian and New Zealand artists performing the works of Tim and Neil Finn.This album was nominated for a 2006 ARIA award under "Best Adult Contemporary Artist". Her fifth album, Morning in the Bowl of Night, was released in March 2007, many of the songs focussing around the death of <mask>'s mother. In early 2008, Morning in the Bowl of Night, was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize. Personnel

In 2006 <mask>'s band consisted of:
 <mask> – vocals, rhythm guitar
 Shane O'Mara – lead guitar
 Peter Jones – drums
 Bill McDonald – bass guitar

<mask> (27 August 1900 – 29 July 1963) was a Welsh boxer who fought between 1914 and 1936. He is most notable for winning the British and Empire middleweight boxing championship in 1927 and 1928 and the light-heavyweight title from 1927 to 1929. Boxing career

Early career
<mask> was born in Pontypridd and came from a large family, and was one of seven brothers to fight in the boxing ring. <mask> began working down a coal mine at the age of eleven. By the time he was thirteen, he had begun boxing, with his first recorded fight, against "Kid Evans", taking place in Tonypandy at the age of fourteen. His early fights as a youth were mainly held in South Wales, with a few ventures to Plymouth and Liverpool. Some of his early notable bouts included a win over Australian Jack Mignot at Covent Garden and a points loss to Freddie Jacks at Blackheath.<mask> gained the nickname "The Pontypridd Puncher" and was notable for his powerful right hand delivery. By 1919, <mask> was fighting on a regular basis, sometimes twice a week. His biggest match to date came on 13 January 1920, when he faced Ted "Kid" Lewis at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Although scheduled for twenty rounds, <mask> was out-classed by his opponent, losing to Lewis by a first round knock-out. His following boxing career was solid if unspectacular, fighting little known opponents, with some success, around Britain. Fights in the United States
<mask>'s fortunes changed when in October 1923 he travelled to the United States to fight a series of bouts, beginning in Massachusetts. He won three arranged bouts in New Bedford, and then beat Jackie Clark in Fall River on 30 November.On 10 December 1923, <mask> fought and beat Young Fisher at Madison Square Garden in New York. This was followed by a points defeat to Lou Bogash in Boston, in February 1924. After a handful of fights in the US, <mask> faced Bogash again, this time winning by technical knock-out, and in the fight was reported to be the first person to floor Bogash in a contest. After his victory over Bogash, <mask> won two more contests in Massachusetts, over experienced American boxers, George Robinson and Jock Malone. In contrast, his subsequent four fights saw his worst run whilst in America, though facing formidable opposition. Just three days after his victory over Malone, <mask> travelled to Waterbury, Connecticut to fight world middleweight champion Harry Greb. Greb stayed out of the reach of <mask>'s powerful right, and floored the Welshman in the fourth round with a powerful body shot; and after that <mask> had little fight left, being knocked out for the count after a barrage of blows in the sixth.This was followed by defeats in rematches to Bogash and Malone, before facing future light heavyweight champion of the world, Jack Delaney. Delaney won the fight in the fifth on a technical knock-out. After the Delaney contest, <mask> took an uncharacteristic two-month break, before returning to fight Pat McCarthy, who had himself just fought Delaney. <mask> won the fight with a first round knock-out, but then lost his next fight to New York's Jeff Smith. After a handful of fights in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, <mask> was given a shot at Kid Norfolk in a match staged at the Yankee Stadium, New York. <mask> proved a strong opponent, stopping Norfolk in the fourth round, though Norfolk was at the end of his career, and this would be his penultimate fight. <mask> fought another nineteen matches in the United States, including contests against Tiger Flowers, Maxie Rosenbloom and Dave Shade; and on 16 August 1926 he beat Del Fontaine, future Canadian middleweight champion, which was <mask>'s only fight in Canada.British return
In December 1926, <mask> was back in Britain and in his first few weeks back in Wales, he was boxing in Cardiff, beating Joe Bloomfield in the fourth round. Just two months later <mask> was carded to fight Roland Todd at the Royal Albert Hall for the vacant British and Empire middleweight titles. <mask> lifted the middleweight belt by beating Todd in a points decision. On 11 April 1927, <mask> fought Gipsy Daniels for the Welsh Light Heavyweight title, but lost on points in a 20-round fight. After a victory over Jack Stanley, he then travelled to Italy for his first fight on mainland Europe, losing to Michele Bonaglia, who would later become the Italian champion. Following the Bonglia defeat, <mask> won five straight contests on British soil, before facing Ted Moore for the British Light Heavyweight title, which had been vacated by fellow Welshman, Gipsy Daniels. The fight went the full 20 rounds, with <mask> winning on points.<mask> was now fighting with less frequency, and on 6 August 1928 he travelled to Glasgow to face Tommy Milligan for the British middleweight title, which <mask> had vacated earlier. Milligan was knocked out in the first round, but <mask> would lose his newly recaptured title just three weeks later when he was defeated by Alexander Ireland. That was <mask>'s final fight of 1928, and in 1929 he fought just four times, which included a win over Italy's Leone Jacovacci, a loss to the great Len Harvey and then losing his British Light Heavyweight title to Harry Crossley. 1930 began well for <mask>, when he lifted the Welsh Light Heavyweight title by beating Gipsy Daniels in their third encounter. He then earned a respectable draw against German Ernst Pistulla in a contest in Hamburg. After a win over Theo Sass, he then fought a single match in 1931, before apparently retiring. Boxing return
In 1935 <mask> returned to boxing, winning two fights in Wales.These victories led to a contest with South African heavyweight Ben Foord, which saw <mask> beaten in the eighth round in front of his home crowd of Pontypridd. <mask>'s next two bouts were against one of the greatest Welsh boxers of all time, Tommy Farr. The first encounter was for the Welsh light heavyweight title, and ended in a draw after 15 rounds. The second match with Farr in December 1935 ended in <mask>'s defeat in the fourth round. <mask> ended his boxing career in 1936, losing by technical knockout to <mask>.

Field Marshal <mask>, 1st Viscount Plumer,  (13 March 1857 – 16 July 1932) was a senior British Army officer of the First World War. After commanding V Corps at the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, he took command of the Second Army in May 1915 and in June 1917 won an overwhelming victory over the German Army at the Battle of Messines, which started with the simultaneous explosion of a series of mines placed by the Royal Engineers' tunnelling companies beneath German lines, which created  large craters and was described as the loudest explosion in human history. He later served as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army of the Rhine and then as Governor of Malta before becoming High Commissioner of the British Mandate for Palestine in 1925 and retiring in 1928. Military career
Born the son of <mask> and <mask> (née Turnley) and educated at Eton College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Plumer was commissioned as a lieutenant into the 65th Regiment of Foot on 11 September 1876. He joined his regiment in India and became adjutant of his battalion on 29 April 1879. Promoted to captain on 29 May 1882, he accompanied his battalion to the Sudan in 1884 as part of the Nile Expedition. Plumer was present at the battle of El Teb in February 1884 and the battle of Tamai in March 1884, and was mentioned in Despatches.He spent from 1886 to 1887 attending the Staff College, Camberley, before being appointed Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General in Jersey on 7 May 1890. He was promoted to major on 22 January 1893 and posted to the 2nd Battalion the York and Lancaster Regiment before being appointed assistant military secretary to the General Officer Commanding Cape Colony in December 1895. He went to Southern Rhodesia in 1896 to disarm the local police force following the Jameson Raid and then later that year returned there to command the Matabele Relief Force during the Second Matabele War. He became deputy assistant adjutant-general at Aldershot with promotion to brevet lieutenant colonel on 8 May 1897. In 1899 Plumer returned to Southern Rhodesia where he raised a force of mounted infantry and, having been promoted to the substantive rank of lieutenant-colonel on 17 October 1900, he led them at the Relief of Mafeking during the Second Boer War. He was promoted to colonel on 29 November 1900 and was then given command of a mixed force which captured General Christiaan de Wet's wagon train at Hamelfontein in February 1901. Plumer arrived back in the United Kingdom in April 1902, and two months later was received in audience by King Edward VII on his return.In a despatch dated 23 June 1902, Lord Kitchener, Commander-in-Chief in South Africa during the latter part of the war, wrote how Plumer had "invariable displayed military qualifications of a very high order. Few officers have rendered better service." He was promoted to major general for distinguished service in the field on 22 August 1902, and was appointed Commander of the 4th Brigade within 1st Army Corps on 1 October 1902. The following year he became General Officer Commanding 10th Division within IV Army Corps and General Officer Commanding Eastern District in December 1903. He became Quartermaster-General to the Forces in February 1904, General Officer Commanding 7th Division in April 1906 and General Officer Commanding 5th Division within Irish Command in May 1907. Promoted to lieutenant general on 4 November 1908, he went on to be General Officer Commanding-in-Chief for Northern Command in November 1911. First World War
Following the unexpected death of Sir James Grierson on his arrival in France in 1914, Plumer was considered for command of one of two Corps of the British Expeditionary Force alongside Douglas Haig: this position eventually went to Horace Smith-Dorrien.<mask> was sent to France in February 1915 and given command of V Corps which he led at the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915. He took command of the Second Army in May 1915 and, having been promoted to full general on 11 June 1915, he won an overwhelming victory over the German Army at the Battle of Messines in June 1917. The battle started with the simultaneous explosion of a series of mines placed by the Royal Engineers' tunnelling companies beneath German lines. The detonation created  large craters and was described as the loudest explosion in human history. After the mines were fired, Plumer's soldiers left their trenches and advanced 3,000 yards. He won further victories at the battle of the Menin Road Ridge and the battle of Polygon Wood in September 1917 and the battle of Broodseinde in October 1917 advancing another 5,000 yards in the process. In November 1917 <mask> was given command of the British Expeditionary Force sent to the Italian Front after the disaster at Caporetto.Early in 1918, Plumer was sought by Lloyd George for the position of Chief of the Imperial General Staff as a replacement for William Robertson: he declined the position. Plumer instead commanded the Second Army during the final stages of the war, during the German spring offensive and the Allied Hundred Days Offensive. Later career
Plumer was appointed General Officer Commanding-in-Chief the British Army of the Rhine in December 1918 and Governor of Malta in May 1919. He was promoted to field marshal on 31 July 1919, and was created Baron <mask> of Messines and of Bilton on 18 October 1919. In August 1925 he was appointed High Commissioner of the British Mandate for Palestine. He resisted Arab pressure to reverse commitments made by the British Government in the Balfour Declaration, and dealt firmly with both the Zionists and the Arab Nationalists. On one occasion, an Arab delegation protested a proposal by Jewish battalions to install their regimental colours in the chief synagogues, saying they "wouldn't be responsible for the consequences".Plumer replied, 'That's all right, you're not asked to be responsible for the consequences. I'll be responsible." In Mandatory Palestine Plumer gained a reputation as being "genuinely even handed" and was one of the few British administrators who was consistently popular with both the Jewish community and the Arab community in that territory. Privately he was sympathetic to the cause of establishing a homeland for the Jewish people, however, he tried his best to "be fair" to Arab concerns as well while he was High Commissioner there. On 24 July 1927 he conducted the inauguration ceremony for the Menin Gate memorial at Ypres in Belgium. Plumer was created Viscount <mask> for his "long and distinguished public services" on 3 June 1929. Death
Plumer died at his home in Knightsbridge in London on 16 July 1932 at the age of 75, his body was subsequently interred in Westminster Abbey.Family
In July 1884 <mask> married Annie Constance Goss (1858–1941), daughter of George and Eleanor Goss; they had three daughters and one son.

Although still a child, <mask> admired Jackson's originality. He later said he aspired to climb a different mountain but reach the same height as Jackson. During the hiatus after leaving the group Folder, <mask> was given an Usher album by a staff member.

This gave her the idea of bringing him to the Okinawa Actors' School. At the school, they taught him to sing and dance. In 1996, a television program (NHK Education's Yumediago Kodomojuku) featured <mask> commuting to the dance school 90 minutes by bus from home.

<mask> (born June 30, 1972) is an American former professional baseball left fielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the California / Anaheim Angels / Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim, Atlanta Braves, and Los Angeles Dodgers between 1994 and 2010. He holds Angels franchise records for career games played (2,013), at bats (7,989), hits (2,368), runs scored (1,024), runs batted in (RBI) (1,292), total bases (3,743), extra base hits (796), singles (1,572), doubles (489), grand slams (8), RBI in a single game (10) and consecutive games with an RBI (12), as well as home runs by a left-handed hitter (272). A three-time All-Star, he helped lead the Angels to the 2002 World Series title, and was named Most Valuable Player of the 2003 All-Star Game. High school career
<mask> attended Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, California. While there, he was a three-sport star in baseball, football, and basketball. In baseball, he won two All-Los Angeles City honors and two All-League Honors, and as a junior, helped his team win the Los Angeles City Championship.In basketball, as a senior he won All-Los Angeles City honors and All-League honors. Anaheim Angels
<mask> was selected by the California Angels in the fourth round of the 1990 MLB Draft and made his major league debut on July 27, 1994. He had two hits in four at bats in that game, recording his first career hit on a single to right field off of Oakland Athletics pitcher Ron Darling in the bottom of the third inning. He appeared in only five games with the Angels in 1994, getting five hits in 13 at bats. In 1995, he was called up to the team on April 26 and spent the rest of the year in the majors. He hit his first career home run on June 13 against Kevin Tapani of the Minnesota Twins. He batted .321 in 106 games with 16 home runs and 69 RBIs, and finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting to Marty Cordova of the Twins.From that point forward, <mask> became a mainstay in the Angels lineup. Over the next eight seasons, he accumulated at least 600 at bats every year, breaking 90 RBIs and 20 home runs five times while compiling a batting average near .300. While he was hitting home runs in 2000, he wasn't taking many walks. He became only the second player to conclude a 30-homer season with more homers than walks (35 HR, 24 BB), joining Iván Rodríguez (35–24 in 1999); the dubious feat has since been duplicated by Alfonso Soriano (39–23 in 2002), Javy López (43–33 in 2003), José Guillén (31–24 in 2003), Joe Crede (30–28 in 2006) and Ryan Braun (34–29 in 2007). In 2002, when the Angels won their first World Series championship, <mask> finished fourth in the Most Valuable Player voting after compiling a .306 average with 29 home runs and 123 runs batted in, including a 3-run double in the third inning of Game 7 which would turn out to be the series-winning hit. <mask> also scored a career-high 93 runs; however, the fact that he never scored 100 in a season was a result of his main weakness as a player – an inability to draw walks and achieve a high on-base percentage. <mask> had a similarly strong performance in 2003, and was named an American League All-Star.That All-Star weekend, he stole the show by becoming the Home Run Derby Champion and voted the Most Valuable Player in the All-Star Game, the first player to win both since Cal Ripken, Jr. in 1991. In 2002 and 2003, <mask> tied for the American League lead in doubles with Nomar Garciaparra and Vernon Wells, respectively. On April 13, 2004, <mask> agreed to a $48 million, four-year contract extension through 2008. The deal included a team option for 2009 with a $3 million buyout. <mask> began experiencing chronic ailments in 2004 that limited his playing time and production, including an arthritic condition and plantar fasciitis in his feet. In , he began to see more regular time as a designated hitter to ease the wear and tear on his body. <mask>'s production in 2006 was roughly on par with his 2005 production, with both seasons seeing him hit 17 home runs and drive in at least 85 runs.On August 21, 2007, he drove in a team-record 10 runs, including a grand slam and a three-run homer, in the Los Angeles Angels' 18–9 win over the New York Yankees. <mask> became the 13th player in Major League history to have 10 RBIs in a game. <mask> now holds the team record for grand slams with eight and RBIs in a game with ten. This performance has been part of a general resurgence in the second half of the 2007 season, a relief to Angels fans who may have wondered if <mask>'s career was near its end after a mediocre, injury-plagued first half. Instead, <mask> has led the majors in RBIs in the latter part of 2007. On September 7, <mask> drove in a run on an RBI single, to set a franchise record for most consecutive games with an RBI with 11. The streak lasted for 12 games, during which time he drove in 22 runs.On October 28, 2008, the Angels announced they would decline their $14 million option on <mask>'s contract and exercised a $3 million buyout. Atlanta Braves
On February 24, 2009, <mask> agreed to a one-year deal with the Atlanta Braves for $2.5 million. On April 5, 2009, in the Braves' first game of the season, <mask> collected the 2,369th hit of his career, and the first he had with any franchise besides the Angels. On July 2, 2009, <mask> hit the first career pinch-hit home run of his career. On October 1, 2009, <mask> became the 89th player to reach 2,500 base hits, getting a single off of Washington Nationals pitcher <mask>. Los Angeles Dodgers
On March 3, 2010, <mask> agreed to a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He made the 25-man opening day roster as a reserve outfielder.In his first at bat with the Dodgers, he hit a pinch-hit single off Brendan Donnelly, his former Angels teammate. His first home run with the Dodgers came on April 22, when he hit a pinch-hit 2-run homer against the Cincinnati Reds. <mask> was designated for assignment August 8, 2010 after hitting only .181 in 155 at bats, and was granted his release on August 10. Retirement
On March 1, 2011, <mask> announced his retirement in a statement issued by the Angels. As of 2012, <mask> is an Angels pregame and postgame reporter during home games and some road games on Fox Sports West, along with former teammate Tim Salmon. He appeared on the ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum 2016 election and earned one vote. In 2016, <mask> was inducted into the Angels' Hall of Fame.Career Statistics
