Skipper <mask>, DSC, RNR (28 April 1876 – 15 August 1917) was an English posthumous recipient of the Victoria Cross. <mask>, in civilian life a commercial fisherman operating from Lowestoft in Suffolk, earned his award after being killed during the defence of his vessel, the armed naval smack Nelson, in the North Sea against an attack from a German submarine in 1917. <mask>'s self-sacrifice in the face of this "unequal struggle" was used by the government to bolster morale during some of the toughest days of the First World War for Britain, in late 1917, during which Britain was suffering heavy losses at the Battle of Passchendaele. His exploit was read aloud by David Lloyd George in the Houses of Parliament and made headline news for nearly a week. Early life
<mask> was born into a family of shipwrights and fishermen in Lowestoft, one of ten children to William and <mask>. Although his father was the owner of a successful boatbuilding firm and thus could afford an education for his children, <mask> did not enjoy school, instead showing a "marked preference for quayside adventure to school routine". Leaving school, <mask> took to the sea, spending several years as a herring fisherman before joining a fishing trawler out of Lowestoft.He was a natural to the work, being a remarkably good sailor, but tired of it quickly and joined the Atlantic steamship SS Mobile, becoming her quartermaster and making several trans-Atlantic voyages. In 1895, aged 19, he met and married Harriet Elizabeth Alp and settled with her at 48 Staithe Road in Burgh St. Peter near Lowestoft, where they had two sons and a daughter, including <mask> Jr, who would be with his father on the day he won the Victoria Cross. Establishing himself as a fisherman, <mask> achieved his mate and then skipper qualifications, entitling him to captain a fishing vessel sailing from the port. In 1902 he was taken on by Chambers, one of the largest boat owning families in Lowestoft, to crew and then captain their ketch George Borrow, in which he remained for thirteen years. In 1907 the family moved to Lowestoft while <mask> continued his work at sea, proving one of the most popular fishing captains in Lowestoft and joined on his ketch by his son in 1913. When the First World War began in July 1914, Crisp was at sea. Unaware of the outbreak of war, he remained in the North Sea for several days, and was surprised on his return to learn that enemy submarines were expected off the port at any moment.When this threat failed to materialise, <mask> returned to fishing, considered too old for military service and in an occupation vital to Britain's food supplies. In late September, George Borrow passed ,  and  shortly before they were all sunk, with over a thousand lives lost, by German U-boat . <mask> Jr. later wrote of finding bodies in their fishing nets for weeks afterwards. War service
In early 1915, <mask> Jr left the vessel to join the Royal Navy. A few weeks later the U-boat threat expected so many months before arrived, as submarines surfaced among the undefended fishing fleets and used dynamite to destroy dozens of them after releasing the crews in small boats. This offensive was part of a wider German strategy to denude Britain of food supplies and took a heavy toll on the fishing fleets of the North Sea. George Borrow was among the victims, sunk in August, although it is not known if <mask> (father) was aboard at the time.While temporarily working in a net factory following the loss of his vessel, he was scouted by a Navy officer recruiting experienced local fishing captains to command a flotilla of tiny fishing vessels, which were to be secretly armed. The boats were intended to be working fishing vessels fitted with a small artillery piece with which to sink enemy submarines as they surfaced alongside. In this manner it was hoped they would protect the fishing fleets without the diversion of major resources from the regular fleet, in the same manner as Q-ships deployed in the commercial sea lanes. Agreeing to this proposal, <mask> became first a Seaman and by mid-1916 a Skipper in the Royal Naval Reserve, arranging for his son to join the crew of his boat, the HM Armed Smack I'll Try, armed with a 3-pounder gun. On 1 February 1917 in the North Sea, I'll Try had its first confrontation with the enemy when two submarines surfaced close to the smack and her companion the larger Boy Alfred. Despite near misses from enemy torpedoes, both smacks scored hits on their larger opponents and reported them as probable sinkings, although post-war German records show that no submarines were lost on that date. Both skippers were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and a present of £200 for this action, and Crisp was offered a promotion and transfer to an ocean-going Q-ship.He was forced to turn down this offer due to his wife's sudden and terminal illness. She died in June 1917. Victoria Cross action

In July, I'll Try was renamed Nelson and Boy Alfred became Ethel & Millie, in an effort to maintain their cover. The boats continued to operate together and <mask>'s crew was augmented with two regular seamen and a Royal Marine rifleman, providing Nelson with a crew of ten, including Crisp and his son. The smacks set out as usual on 15 August and pulled in a catch during the morning before making a sweep near the Jim Howe Bank in search of cruising enemies. At 2.30 pm, Crisp spotted a German U-boat on the surface  away. The U-boat also sighted the smack and both vessels began firing at once, the U-boat's weapon scoring several hits before Nelsons could be brought to bear.By this stage in the war, German submarine captains were aware of the decoy ship tactics and no longer stopped British merchant shipping, preferring to sink them from a distance with gunfire. With such a heavy disparity in armament between the smack's 3-pounder and the submarine's 88 mm deck gun the engagement was short lived, the submarine firing eight shots before the Nelson could get within range of her opponent. The fourth shot fired by the U-boat holed the smack, and the seventh tore off both of <mask>'s legs from underneath him. Calling for the confidential papers to be thrown overboard, Crisp dictated a message to be sent by the boat's four carrier pigeons: like many small ships of the era, Nelson did not possess a radio set. Nelson being attacked by submarine. Skipper killed. Jim Howe Bank.Send assistance at once. The sinking smack was abandoned by the nine unwounded crew, who attempted to remove their captain, who ordered that he should be thrown overboard rather than slow them down. The crew refused to do so, but found they were unable to move him and left him where he lay. He died in his son's arms a few minutes later. It is said that he was smiling as he died and remained so as the ship sank underneath him. Ethel & Millie had just arrived on the scene as Nelson sank, and her captain Skipper Charles Manning called for Nelsons lifeboat to come alongside. Realising that this would greatly overcrowd the second boat, the survivors refused and Manning sailed onwards towards the submarine, coming under lethal fire as he did so.His vessel was soon badly damaged and began to sink. The crew of Ethel & Millie then abandoned their battered boat and were hauled aboard the German submarine, where the Nelson survivors last saw them standing in line being addressed by a German officer. The seven British sailors of Ethel & Millie were never seen again, and much controversy exists surrounding their disappearance. Prevailing opinion at the time was that they were killed and dumped overboard by the German crew or abandoned at sea without supplies, as the German government had made it clear they regarded the crews of merchant ships who fought back against U-boat attacks as francs-tireurs, and thus liable to execution. These scenarios cannot be substantiated. Another theory is that they were taken prisoner and killed when the submarine was sunk. The son of Arthur Soanes, a sailor who disappeared in this incident, later claimed to have contacted his father through his powers as a spiritual medium, reporting that he had died on board the German vessel.UC-63 has been named as the submarine that sank both vessels. The survivors of Nelson drifted for nearly two days until they arrived at the Jim Howe Buoy, where they were rescued by the fishery protection vessel Dryad. A pigeon named "Red Cock" had reached the authorities in Lowestoft with news of the fate of the boats and caused the Dryad to be despatched to search for survivors. A court of enquiry praised the surviving crew and their dead captain and authorised the award of the Victoria Cross posthumously to <mask> and Distinguished Service Medals to his son and another member of the crew. On 29 October 1917, David Lloyd George made an emotional speech in the House of Commons citing Crisp's sacrifice as representative of the Royal Navy's commitment "from the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean to the stormy floods of Magellan", which promoted Crisp into an overnight celebrity whose story ran in all the major London papers for nearly a week, containing as it did a story of personal sacrifice, filial devotion and perceived German barbarity. The medal presentation was made to <mask> Jr at Buckingham Palace on 19 December 1917. <mask>, VC, DSC, is memorialised on his wife's gravestone in Lowestoft Cemetery.Citations

Admiralty, 2nd November, 1917
HONOURS FOR SERVICES IN ACTION WITH ENEMY SUBMARINES
The KING has been graciously pleased to approve of the award of the following honours, decorations and medals to officer and men for services in action with enemy submarines: —
Posthumous Award of the Victoria Cross. Skipper <mask>, R.N.R., 10055D.A. (Killed in action). The London Gazette, 30 October 1917

Action of H.M. Armed Smack "Nelson" on the 15th August, 1917. On the 15th August, 1917, the Smack "Nelson" was engaged in fishing when she was attacked with gunfire from an enemy submarine. The gear was let go and the submarine's fire was returned. The submarine's fourth shot went through the port bow just below the water line and the seventh shell struck the skipper, partially disembowelling him, and passed through the deck and out through the side of the ship.In spite of the terrible nature of his wound Skipper <mask> retained consciousness, and his first thought was to send off a message that he was being attacked and giving his position. He continued to command his ship until the ammunition was almost exhausted and the smack was sinking. He refused to be moved into the small boat when the rest of the crew were obliged to abandon the vessel as she sank, his last request being that he might be thrown overboard. (The posthumous award of the Victoria Cross to Skipper <mask>, D.S.C., R.N.R., 10055 D.A., was announced in London Gazette No. 30363, dated 2 November 1917). The London Gazette, 20 November 1918

Post-war remembrance

After the war, a small display in memory of Crisp was set up in Lowestoft Free Library and another in Lowestoft Maritime Museum. The former contained a specially commissioned painting and parts of the sunken Nelson, which were dredged up years later.This display was destroyed during the Second World War when the building was gutted in the Blitz. A new display featuring a replica of the Victoria Cross awarded to <mask> currently stands in Lowestoft Town Hall. The original is held securely by the local council after <mask>'s family felt his interests would not be served if the medal were held privately. It can be viewed on request. <mask>'s name is inscribed on the Chatham Naval Memorial for those lost at sea during the First World War, as well as two church memorials in Lowestoft to the town's war dead, St. John's and St. Margaret's. The latter church also contains a "VC Bell" dedicated to his memory. <mask> Way, a street in his native Lowestoft, is named in his honour.In a footnote to the action, the pigeon "Red Cock", which brought news of the engagement to the authorities, was stuffed upon his death and was mounted in the <mask> display at Lowestoft Town Hall for many years before being reportedly relocated to a museum in South Kensington.

is a Japanese actress, voice actress, and narrator
who is most famous for the role of Sazae Fuguta from the long-running family anime Sazae-san. She is also known for voicing Yoshiko in Sally the Witch and Osomatsu Matsuno in Osomatsu-kun (1966). Biography

Early life and career
<mask> was born  on 15 November 1939 in Tokyo Prefecture, which would later become Tokyo Metropolis four years after her birth, in the Empire of Japan. She was educated at  in Suginami ward and
, the now-defunct school of the  troupe. She originally wanted to be an actress in shinpa, but she was unable to perform any of the required arts, and she expected that it would change if it was taught at a low price. Several of the students she was in the same graduating class with included actresses Chieko Baisho and . In 1959, the Japanese national broadcasting organization NHK was recruiting tarento for television, and Katō subsequently moved the NHK's actor training school.The following year in April 1960, she made her broadcast debut in NHK's Tenshi no Heya, and in the same year, she was also the founder of a theatrical troupe called "Sanju Jinkai". She was also a member of three voice acting offices:  the Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society, and Sigma Seven. After the expiration of her three-year priority contract with NHK, Katō met a producer at Toei Doga (later Toei Animation) and started her career as a voice actor in anime television. She voiced the titular character of Osomatsu-kun, Yoshiko Hanamura in Sally the Witch, and Kan-chan in The Genie Family. She also performed the song in a commercial for Meiji Milk Chocolate (a chocolate bar manufactured by Meiji Dairies) that is best known for the Chocolate wa Meiji phrase. Sazae-san

In 1968, Katō was cast as the titular character of Sazae-san, Sazae Fuguta. She participated at the audition with the intent to audition for another character, Katsuo Isono, and wanted to voice him and Sazae, but it was vetoed.She was asked to step down from all other anime work, and no longer played any anime characters other than Sazae. Although the series is now long-running, Katō would later recall in 2009 that she initially thought it would last only three months. For about 10 years since the broadcast started, Katō played freely and ad libitum, but later decided to use scripts after self-reflecting that the scriptwriters are not actors if they are not writing every word. This was because Kazue Takahashi, who was the second voice actor of Katsuo, was able to do his words perfectly without being affected by Kato's ad libitum acting. During the fifteenth anniversary of Sazae-san around 1984, Katō had an opportunity to meet the writer of the original Sazae-san manga, Machiko Hasegawa. Katō told Hasegawa, "Sensei, watashi, this year, it's just bad", and Hasegawa told her, "I'm sure there's something good to come". This was the only time Katō ever met Hasegawa before the latter's death on 27 May 1992.In 2009, Katō and her Sazae-san co-star Ichirō Nagai made brief cameo appearances in the fourth live-action adaptation of Sazae-san, Katō appearing as a female employee. Katō told Oricon Style that she had not appeared in drama for the past 45 years and felt nervous during her appearance. She was invited to the  held on 25 October 2012, where she exchanged words with then-Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. Kato introduced herself as "Sazae", believing that she would be recognized with just the nameplate, and the Emperor and Empress responded with a smile. After the Crown Prince Naruhito and his younger brother the Prince Akishino said that they were watching Sazae-san, Kato said "Dad, mom, I'm thrilled, I don't want to go home anymore. Officials from the Imperial Household Agency reported that Aiko, Princess Toshi was able to recognize Katō's voice as Sazae's. In 2013 Guinness World Records recognized Sazae-san as the longest running animated series, surpassing The Simpsons which went on air in 1989.On 6 October 2019, Katō and fellow Sazae-san voice actor Takako Sasuga were recognized by Guinness World Records in the category of "longest career as a voice actor for the same character in an animated television series", having at that point voiced their characters for 50 years and 1 day. Other work
In 1989, Katō began performing on her own stage, receiving a request from a producer of a television station who watched the stage. Katō was also the narrator of Makeover! Dramatic Before & After, a documentary series which aired on TV Asahi. The series' selection in the 2003 "New Word / Buzzword Awards" earned her an appearance at an award ceremony there. Katō was awarded the 45th Anniversary Special Prize by the  in 2015. Filmography

<mask> (August 31, 1792February 22, 1839) was a prominent American Methodist minister, educator and theologian. He was the first President of Wesleyan University. Family background
<mask> was born in Guilford, (near Brattleboro), Vermont on August 31, 1792. His father, the Hon. <mask> (1763–1859), was from Massachusetts and descended from <mask> who emigrated to America from England in about 1637. His mother, Hannah (née Bacon, c. 1760–1845) was also from Massachusetts and was descended from John Bacon who came to America in 1640. Isaiah and <mask> married on May 2, 1786 and moved to Guildford, where Isaiah's father, <mask>, had purchased land at the outbreak of the American Revolution.Their first child, Isaiah Jr. was born in 1789, and died as a youngster in 1793. Polly, their second child, was born in Brattleboro in 1790. <mask>, their third child, was born two years later in 1792. Unfortunate business interests caused a financial hardship for Isaiah and Hannah, and they moved with their children from Guilford to Lyndon, Vermont in Caledonia County, about forty miles from the Canada–US border. <mask> became a respected citizen in Lyndon, and he was elected by his fellow citizens as Assistant Judge, Caledonia County Court from 1808–1813 and Chief Judge, Caledonia County Court from 1815–1823. He was also a presidential elector in the 1816 presidential election. Early life
<mask> <mask> was raised in Lyndon, and at age 16 he was admitted to the Peacham Academy in Vermont where he completed a course of instruction in two years.After leaving the Academy, he began attending Burlington College in Vermont in 1812 (now the University of Vermont). The outbreak of the War of 1812, however, caused classes to be suspended. He then transferred to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island in 1814 and graduated in 1815. While at Brown he determined to pursue a career in law, and upon graduation returned to Lyndon where he began working at the law office of the Hon. Isaac Fletcher. <mask> was not known as a particularly devoted student while in college, but after a year or so decided that a career in law was at odds with his Christian character. He left the legal profession behind and moved to Baltimore where he was engaged as a tutor.<mask> was plagued by respiratory problems throughout his life, and ill health in Baltimore caused him to move back home to Lyndon to recuperate. While in Lyndon, he came in contact with the great religious revival sweeping the state of Vermont. His mother, Hannah, had forsaken her New England Calvinist roots to become a Methodist, and her home was a center of Methodist activity in northern Vermont. After much contemplation, <mask> decided to become a Methodist minister and was appointed an itinerant minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1818. His influence with the conference reversed its opinion from principled opposition to higher education to the establishment of secondary schools and colleges. <mask> only served as a minister for three years in Vermont and Massachusetts before becoming interested in furthering educational opportunities in New England. In about 1820 he suffered a relapse in his health and did not resume his preaching until about 1822.Wesleyan Academy and Wesleyan University
While still engaged in his ministerial duties, <mask> became actively involved with the New Market Academy in New Market, New Hampshire, and in 1824 was appointed to the Board of Trustees. When it was relocated to Wilbraham, Massachusetts (and renamed the Wilbraham Wesleyan Academy), he was appointed to the position of principal in 1826. The success of the Academy under his direction was noted by many Methodists, and he was then offered the presidency of the new Wesleyan University which was being established in Middletown, Connecticut. He accepted that position and remained as its first president from its opening in 1831 until his death in 1839. As an indication of the high esteem with which he was regarded by his contemporaries, he was elected to the office of Bishop in 1835, which he declined to devote his energies to educational matters. In 1851, Wesleyan Academy (now Wilbraham & Monson Academy) erected Fisk Hall in his honor. Under his leadership the university became an important center for Methodist education in New England.Many of his ideas were regarded as unusual in his day: admission was not dependent on religious affiliation, he encouraged the "bodily health" of students, and he regarded modern languages as being as important as classical languages. His views may be summed up with this quote from his writings: "The great object which we propose to ourselves in the work of education is to supply, as far as we may, men who will be willing and competent to effect the political, intellectual, and spiritual regeneration of the world." To that end, he worked to insure the physical, moral and intellectual developments of his students. European travel
In 1835, <mask> suffered another relapse in his battle with what appears to have been some sort of chronic respiratory disease. His physician advised him to take a sea voyage to try to regain his health. The trustees of the Wesleyan University were anxious for him to make a complete recovery and offered to let him take a year off to travel to Europe to acquire books and laboratory equipment for the university. <mask> and Ruth left New York in the company of a faculty member and friend, Wilbur B.Lane, in 1835. Before their departure in 1835 the Board of Fellows of Brown University awarded him a Doctor of Divinity degree. While in England, <mask> gave many sermons, and throughout his trip he was actively engaged in carrying out his assignment of acquiring supplies for the university. In addition to sightseeing, the European tour proved to be quite strenuous for his frail constitution. His health did improve, however, and after he returned to Middletown in 1836, he resumed his duties as president of the university. In 1838 Harper's published his book describing the European tour: Travels On The Continent Of Europe; Viz., In England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, And The Netherlands. Slavery, temperance and Indian missions
The question of slavery was one of the burning issues of the day, and one that often put <mask> <mask> at odds with many of his fellow Methodists.He was a colonizationist who favored sending America's slaves to Africa. He opposed the abolitionists within the church who sought to deny membership to any slaveholder or any supporter of slavery. <mask> felt that the abolitionist approach would split the church and prevent those who needed Christian love and teachings the most from receiving it. He endorsed what he believed was a truly Christian, non-violent way of solving this social evil. Many felt his approach would not bring about emancipation. Toward the end of his life he regretted some of his arguments, but still stood on the principle that a unified church was the quickest way to emancipate slaves. Whether his way would have worked is open to debate, however, in one sense he was correct—in 1844 the Methodist church did split along exactly the lines that he predicted, and only twenty years after his death the nation was plunged into war as the time for talking about slavery ended.<mask> was an early advocate for temperance throughout the 1830s and often wrote and lectured on the "evils of alcohol." He believed that a person should abstain entirely and felt that "drinking rum and going to hell are synonymous terms." (Prentice p. 188)

<mask> was instrumental in securing funds for a translation of the Bible into the Mohawk language in 1831 (the project was completed in 1839). Marriage and family
<mask> most likely met his wife, Ruth Peck of Providence, at some point while he was in Rhode Island. They carried on a seven-year engagement, primarily through correspondence, until they decided marry on June 9, 1823 in Providence. She was an Episcopalian prior to her marriage. Prentice indicates that most friends believed that <mask> and Ruth had an unhappy marriage, and her letters indicate dissatisfaction with her ability to have a harmonious relationship.<mask> expected to outlive his wife, and did not prepare adequately for his early demise. He expressed concern for Ruth's continuing welfare on his deathbed. In an expression of true friendship and Christian charity, faculty members and students of Wesleyan University helped Ruth for the remainder of her life. She lived in indigency in a small house on Foss Hill, near Foss House, (the house was later moved to the lower Union Street section of Middletown, where it was demolished in the 1960s). The <mask>s adopted a daughter, Martha S<mask>, who was born on October 24, 1824. She lived with her parents in Middletown and then with her mother and grandmother, Lydia Peck, after her father's death in 1839. Martha died at age twenty on April 25, 1844 in Middletown.She is buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery (on campus). Ruth's mother, Lydia (Lyon) Peck was born May 9, 1769 in West Woodstock, Connecticut and came to live with <mask> and Ruth in her old age. She is mentioned in Prentice's biography (though not by her first name) as living with them in Middletown. Lydia was the daughter of Amos Lyon (1733–1812). She died on June 25, 1843 in Middletown and is buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery. <mask> <mask> died after a long, painful illness in Middletown on February 22, 1839 with his wife by his side. He is buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery.Wilbur Wright was named after him. Bibliography

Biography

Experimental music bands
<mask> was born in December 1959 as the son of Douglas and <mask> with a brother Bruce. He grew up in Sydney and from the mid-1970s he listened to local radio, Double Jay, "[It] was like the breath of fresh air that people like me needed who had been swamped by disco, American soft rock ... rock opuses ... and the English Glam rock". In 1977 Blades and a group of school friends provided their favourite music for a radio presentation on Double Jay.His early preferences were for punk music by Ramones and The Saints, innovative music of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and reggae. By 1978 he preferred Peter Doyle programme which featured post-punk and experimental music, "[which] incorporated the punk ideal with new elements such as electronic noise and rhythms, spoken word, dub, electronically processed voice and experimental acoustic and electronic sound". In 1980 while studying civil engineering at University of Sydney, Blades was a founding member of electronic music group The East End Butchers with Doyle. In 1982 he was a founding member of The Loop Quartet, with Richard Fielding (ex-Severed Heads), Ron Brown and Jaimie Leonarder. During that year, the quartet performed a radio studio live to air experimental performance using loops on reel-to-reel tape machines. Blades also formed and performed in other groups: War Meat and the Dictator, and Men Like Licorice, both in 1982. That year, Blades also started working as a structural engineer for Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA): he specialised in bridge engineering.He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) – his mother Pam also had the disorder – and he was hopeful of retaining mobility. In 1982 The Loop Orchestra was formed by Blades, Fielding and Anthony Maher; and in 1983, Doyle joined. In 1990, the band's first release, Suspense, was launched at the AFI Cinema, Sydney. Annette Shun Wah from SBS TV's The Noise programme interviewed the band and <mask> described their work,
for the piece, Suspense, the sound sources were all concrete, that is, all pre-existing sounds, and it was a study of the way sounds and music is constructed for suspense in horror movies. So it's all taken from scores for those films – generally untreated sections of the scores from those films, from the 1940s, through to films like Creature from the Black Lagoon of the 1950s, right through to Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the 1970s and Evil Dead in the 1980s, and so they're fragments of sound. It's like deconstructing an existing sound source and reconstructing – or structuring – something else out of that deconstruction. By 1993 Blades' MS had progressed and he was wheelchair-bound but he continued with his work at RTA, with The Loop Orchestra and on radio.In 2007, Australian violinist, Jon Rose, spoke at the 9th Annual Peggy Glanville-Hicks Address (see Peggy Glanville-Hicks), Rose discussed Blades' enthusiasm and commitment to the Sydney music community:
Multiple sclerosis sentenced <mask> to a wheelchair, where no doubt it was expected that he would spiral slowly out of view. The contrary happened and with committed zeal, he has become a major figure in the Sydney alternative music scene, organising & conducting his Loop Orchestra, promoting & supporting new music and outsider art. Not only have his activities kept his mental state together, he tells me that his condition has actually been reversed through his involvement with music. Physical healing with music is not just the province of new agers – music can be as practical as taking aspirin. Radio
During 1981 <mask> was invited by Ian Hartley to appear on the 2MBS' radio programme, Disc Noir, to present samples of his music collection. Hartley asked Blades to host his own show, Hot Dog You Bet, which was broadcast by 2MBS (102.5 MHz) from 1982 to 1985. Fielding had suggested the name of the show, inspired by "a flexi disc released with a New York art magazine called Smegma, an audio collage".In March 1998, due to the severity of his MS which reduced his mobility, Blades finished working at the RTA. His most pleasing work as an engineer was on the Glebe Island Bridge: "I designed water drainage system from the bridge deck to the underground stormwater system". From 1998 Blades presented a fortnightly radio programme, Background Noise, with initial co-host Fielding, and from 2003, another ex-Severed Heads musician, Garry Bradbury on 2MBS. The programme featured "mainly experimental music with innovative film soundtracks, radio plays and spoken word". During his time at 2MBS FM, <mask> also founded the Contemporary Music Collective (CMC), a group of radio broadcasters and producers who supported noise and experimental music programmes after midnight, which differs from the station's usual programming of classical music during daytime. Other programmes include Eclectic Chair, The Dust Museum and Our World Through Seratonin. In 2004 CMC organised a fund-raiser in 2004 called Dis-Co-LLaboration to celebrate 22 years on-air – Severed Heads played live, along with radio presenters and CMC members.In 2010, <mask>' documentary, "The Too Hard Basket", was broadcast on ABC Radio National, 360 Documentaries programme. It won the Walkley Award for 'Social Equity Journalism – All Media', and the 'Radio Documentary of the Year Award' from the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union. Blades died on 25 November 2011 after complications from cancer therapy. References

<mask> (September 10, 1847 – November 2, 1939) was an American writer, attorney, military officer, author, and Republican politician who served as Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives and represented Mississippi in the United States House of Representatives. <mask> was born into slavery in Louisiana and became free in 1863 under the Emancipation Proclamation. During Reconstruction, <mask> became a prominent political leader in Mississippi. In 1873, <mask> was elected as the first African-American Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives; he is considered the first Black man to hold this position in any state. He was among the first generation of African Americans from the South elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and served in the 44th, 45th, and 47th Congresses. In 1884, he was elected temporary chair of the Republican National Convention and delivered the convention's keynote address. After Democrats regained power in the Mississippi legislature, they disenfranchised much of the majority-black electorate by raising barriers to voter registration.<mask> then studied law and was admitted to the Mississippi bar in 1896. Seeing the effects of disenfranchisement, <mask> left the state and returned to Washington, D.C. to practice law. He served in the United States Army during the Spanish–American War and for a decade into the early 1900s, achieving the rank of major. After retiring, <mask> moved to Chicago, where he lived for more than two decades and was active in law and real estate. Beginning with the end of federal Reconstruction in 1877, <mask> wrote and published four books analyzing the political situation in the South. The best known of these is The Facts of Reconstruction (1913), which argued against the prevailing view of the Dunning School, conservative white historians who downplayed African-American contributions and the achievements of the Reconstruction era. Early life and education
<mask><mask> was born into slavery in 1847 on Tacony Plantation near Vidalia, Concordia Parish, Louisiana.He was the third son of his mother Catherine White, who was enslaved. She had four boys in total. Born in Virginia, she was of mixed race, as were both of her parents, <mask> and Elizabeth White. Under slavery law, the children of slave mothers were slaves, regardless of paternity. <mask>'s father <mask> was the overseer on the plantation; he had a common-law marriage with Catherine White. A young immigrant, <mask> had come to the United States with his family from Dublin, Ireland. They settled in Zanesville, Ohio.As young men, Patrick and his older brother <mask> moved South; Patrick became an overseer at the Tacony Plantation. There he fell in love with Catherine and they became a couple, living together as man and wife. (They were prohibited from marrying by state law.) To protect his family, <mask> planned to buy Catherine and their mixed-race sons from the Tacony Plantation owner. Before the transaction was completed, a new owner bought the plantation and hired a different manager. <mask> could no longer afford to post the $1,000 bond required by the legislature for each person in his family in order to free them. (The state legislature was trying to reduce the number of free people of color, and it severely restricted the number of manumissions, ending approval altogether in 1852.)In addition, he would have to submit a request for these manumissions to an Emancipation Court. <mask> planned to move with his family to New Orleans, where his brother Edward lived, and try to save money there to secure his family's freedom. He thought the city would be a good place to live, as he had learned that it had a large population of free people of color. Many had achieved some education and economic status. <mask> died in 1849 of illness before carrying out his plan. Before his death, <mask> arranged for his friend, William G. Deal, to take title of Catherine, William and <mask>, with the understanding that this was a legality to protect the family, who continued to work at Tacony plantation. But after a time, Deal sold them to Alfred Vidal Davis, a planter in Natchez, Mississippi.When she met Davis, Catherine was shocked to learn of the sale. She told him her family's story. Davis offered to keep her and her two sons with her (one had died by this time), and to have her work in his household. He also allowed her to hire out and save some of the money she earned. He mostly kept his word, but Catherine and her two sons did not gain freedom until 1863, under the Emancipation Proclamation. Because of an argument with Mrs. Davis, the boy <mask> had been sent to field labor on the plantation. He was 16 when he and his family gained freedom.<mask> worked with elements of the Union Army in the Natchez area. After the Civil War ended in 1865, a friend of his father's arranged for him to work for a photographer. <mask> took on increased responsibilities until he managed the entire operation and its finances. He built a successful business in Natchez. Wanting to continue his education, <mask> attended a night school taught by Northerners. (By the end of 1866, many such teachers were driven out of the state by whites' violent opposition to the education of freedmen.) <mask> also read widely in books and newspapers during lulls in his business day.As <mask>'s business was near a white school, the young man often eavesdropped on lessons through the open windows. Career

<mask>'s leadership abilities were quickly recognized in Natchez, and he gained post-war political opportunities. He became active in the Republican Party by the age of 20. Although too young to participate as a delegate, he attended the state's constitutional convention of 1867, studying its developments closely. The first proposed constitution was defeated, largely because it required the temporary disenfranchisement of former Confederates, an unpopular proposal. In April 1869 at the age of 22, <mask> was appointed by the military governor, Adelbert Ames, as a Justice of the Peace in Natchez. Later that year <mask> was elected as a Republican to the Mississippi State House.He was re-elected, serving until 1873. In his last term, January 1872 he was elected as Speaker of the Mississippi House, the first African American to achieve that position. At the age of 26 in 1872, <mask> was elected as the youngest member of the US Congress from Mississippi's 6th congressional district, as part of the first generation of African-American Congressmen. (This district was created by the state legislature in 1870.) He was the only African American elected from Mississippi for a century. In 1874 <mask> was the only Republican in the Mississippi House delegation to be elected in the face of a Democratic campaign against Republicans and blacks. Elections in the state were increasingly accompanied by violence and fraud as Democrats worked to regain political power.In 1874, the White League, a white paramilitary group active on behalf of the Democratic Party, had worked openly to intimidate and suppress black voting, assassinating blacks and running Republican officers out of town. In 1875 Democrats dominated the House of Representatives for the first time since the Civil War. <mask> introduced many bills and argued on their behalf. Perhaps his greatest effort was in the long debate supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1875 to ban discrimination in public accommodations. He was one of seven African-American Congressmen present, who all testified in 1874 as to personal and known experience of the effects of discrimination in this area. Another speech included the following:

In 1876 <mask> spoke out against the White League and racial divisions in his state. The Democratic Party dominated the state legislature, redrawing his district and guaranteeing white majorities in the other five.<mask> contested the victory of Democrat James R. Chalmers from the 6th district, but, with Congress dominated by Democrats, the Elections Committee refused to hear the case. As a result of a national Democratic Party compromise, in 1877 the federal government withdrew its troops from the South, and Reconstruction was considered ended. The Democrats kept control of the state legislature. In 1880 <mask> re-entered politics. He ran against Democrat James R. Chalmers from the 6th district and contested his claim of victory in the majority-black 6th district. When his case came before the Committee on Elections on April 27, 1882, <mask> argued that in five counties, more than 5,000 of his votes had been counted for Chalmers. He further asserted that several thousand Republican ballots had been thrown out after a secret hearing because of technicalities such as a clerical failure to send a list of names with the returns and the presence of unusual marks on the ballots.<mask>'s strongest arguments were based on Chalmers's remarks that <mask>'s votes had been thrown out and that he (Chalmers) was 'in favor of using every means short of violence to preserve [for] intelligent white people of Mississippi supreme control of political affairs.' The committee ruled in <mask>'s favor, and on April 29, 1882, the House voted 125 to 83 to seat him; 62 Members abstained. <mask> was awarded the seat by Congress in 1882. He had little time to campaign and lost re-election in 1882 by 600 votes, ending his career in Congress. He continued to have influence in Mississippi and in the Republican Party. In 1884, <mask> became the first African American to chair a political party's National Convention. Future president <mask> made a moving speech nominating <mask> as Temporary Chairman of the 1884 Republican National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.<mask> served as a member of the Republican National Committee for Mississippi from 1884 to 1889. Marriage and family
In 1884, at the age of 37, <mask> married Ella Sommerville; they had a daughter before divorcing. Years later, in 1911, after <mask> retired from the Army, he married again, to Cora Williams. They left Mississippi the following year, part of the Great Migration to Northern industrial cities, and  settled in Chicago. They lived there until <mask>'s death in 1939. Later political and military career

<mask> was appointed by the Republican national administration as Treasury Auditor of the Department of Navy (1889-1893). He returned to Mississippi after this and studied law; he passed the state bar in 1896.As the state legislature had disenfranchised blacks by its new 1890 constitution, based on poll taxes and literacy tests, <mask> returned to Washington, DC the following year to set up his law practice. He wanted to live where he could participate politically. During the Spanish–American War, <mask> was commissioned in 1898 as a major and appointed as paymaster in the Army by President William McKinley. In 1901, <mask> entered the Regular Army as a captain. He was promoted to major and served tours of duty in the United States, Cuba, and the Philippines. After <mask> retired from the Army in 1911, he married again and moved to Chicago in 1912. There he set up his law practice.He also became involved in real estate, as the city became a destination of tens of thousands of rural blacks in the Great Migration, including many from Mississippi. It was also attracting European immigrants and rapidly expanding based on its industrial jobs. After his death in Chicago in 1939 at the age of 92, <mask> was buried with military honors in Arlington National Cemetery, due his service as a Congressman and military officer. <mask>'s writings
At the turn of the 20th century, the struggle for memory and meaning of the Civil War and Reconstruction continued. <mask> wrote a book, The Facts of Reconstruction (1913), and several articles criticizing the then-dominant Dunning School of historiography. Dunning and followers, many of whom were prominent in major Southern universities, evaluated Reconstruction largely from the viewpoint of white former slave owners and ex-Confederates; they expressed the discriminatory views of their societies. They routinely downplayed any positive contributions of African Americans during Reconstruction, said they were dominated by white carpetbaggers, and could not manage political power.(This was in keeping with the disfranchisement of blacks throughout the former Confederacy from 1890 to 1910, and the imposition by state legislatures of racial segregation and Jim Crow law to restore white supremacy.) <mask> argued that blacks had made substantial contributions during the period. He also published articles on this topic in 1917 and 1918 in the Journal of Negro History. His views were later supported by historians such as W.E.B. Du Bois in his Black Reconstruction in America (1935) and Eric Foner in Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863–1877 (1988), among others. Since the late 20th century, new histories and research have changed the perception of the achievements during Reconstruction. The Facts of Reconstruction is freely available online, courtesy of the Gutenberg Project.Since <mask> participated directly in Reconstruction-era governments, historians consider his book to be a primary source in study of the period. <mask>'s memoir, Reminiscences of an Active Life: The Autobiography of <mask> <mask>, which he worked on near the end of his life, was not published until 1970. A number of chapters dealing with Reconstruction are close to material published first in his 1913 The Facts of Reconstruction. A new edition of his memoir was issued by the University of Mississippi Press in 2008. Much is available for preview online at Google books. Books

<mask> (April 26, 1845 – August 13, 1920) was a career officer in the United States Army. A veteran of the American Civil War, American Indian Wars, Spanish–American War, and Philippine–American War, he attained the rank of brigadier general before retiring in 1903. A native of Burke, Vermont, he attended Lyndon Institute, St. Johnsbury Academy, and Bryant & Stratton Business College in Burlington, Vermont. He enlisted for the American Civil War, joining the Union Army's 10th Vermont Infantry Regiment in 1862. He was promoted from private to corporal, was wounded at Battle of Cold Harbor in 1864, and convalesced in Vermont until being discharged at the end of the war. In 1867, <mask> was appointed to the United States Military Academy. He graduated in 1871, was commissioned as a second lieutenant of Infantry, and assigned to the 7th Infantry Regiment.<mask> was assigned to frontier duty and took part in the American Indian Wars, including the Sioux Wars and Nez Perce War. He was severely wounded at the Battle of Big Hole in 1877. After recovering, he transferred to the Commissary department. He continued to serve in commissary and subsistence assignments, and had high profile staff positions in the Spanish–American War and Philippine–American War. <mask> was promoted to brigadier general in July 1903 and retired the following day. In retirement he was active in several business ventures and resided in San Francisco before moving to Berkeley, California. He died in Berkeley on August 13, 1920 and was buried at San Francisco National Cemetery.Early life
<mask> was born in Burke, Vermont on April 26, 1845, the son of Erastus <mask> and Eliza (Quimby) <mask>. He attended the elementary schools of Burke, Lyndon Institute, and St. Johnsbury Academy. After graduating from the academy, <mask> went on to graduate from Bryant & Stratton Business College in Burlington, Vermont. Civil War
<mask> volunteered for the Union Army during the American Civil War, enlisting as a private in Company A, 10th Vermont Infantry Regiment on June 5, 1862. He was promoted to corporal June 3, 1863. <mask> was slightly wounded three times at the Battle of Cold Harbor on June 1, 1864. He was captured after being wounded, but escaped later the same night.On June 3, 1864, <mask> was wounded again, this time severely. He had recently been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the 117th Infantry Regiment, United States Colored Troops, but could not accept because of his need to convalesce. He convalesced at Sloan General Hospital in Montpelier, Vermont. As a result of his wounds, <mask> was discharged from the Army on August 18, 1865. Post-Civil War
In 1867, <mask> passed a competitive examination to obtain appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Among the other applicants for the appointment was Willie H. Johnston. <mask> graduated in 1871 ranked 11th of 41 in overall standing, and first in military discipline.He was commissioned as a second lieutenant of Infantry and assigned to the 7th Infantry Regiment. American Indian Wars
<mask> served on frontier duty at Fort Shaw, Montana from September 1871 to January 1872. From January to May 1872 he was posted to Fort Benton, Montana. He then returned to Fort Shaw where he was posted until March 1876, including participation in expeditions to explore the area around Fort Colville, Washington from August to October 1873 and Camp Lewis, Montana from June to October 1875. As part of the 7th Infantry, <mask> took part in the Great Sioux War of 1876, assigned as regimental adjutant and commander of a battery that consisted of one Napoleon gun and two Gatling guns. After the Battle of the Little Bighorn, <mask> continued to be interested in the events surrounding the fight and the personalities involved. In addition to maintaining a correspondence with other participants in the campaign with whom he discussed his experiences, he also communicated with several writers and historians who researched the subject.In the summer of 1908, Edward S. Curtis, an ethnologist and photographer of the American Indians, walked the Little Bighorn battlefield with three Crow scouts who had served with the U.S. Army during the 1876 campaign. <mask> accompanied them so that Curtis could have the scouts' recollections of the fight considered by an experienced army officer who had knowledge of the battle. The accounts of the Crow scouts differed from the widely accepted version of events, placing more blame on George Armstrong Custer for the defeat that led to the deaths of Custer and most of his command. Curtis and <mask> both thought the scouts were accurate, but Curtis decided the scouts' version of events was too controversial to publicize. As a result, Curtis left the account of the Crow scouts out of the volume of Sioux history he published later that year. <mask> served as regimental adjutant during the Nez Perce War of 1877. On August 9, he was wounded three times at the Battle of Big Hole.After being treated locally until October, <mask> took convalescent leave, and he remained in this status until May 1878. <mask> was promoted to first lieutenant to rank from August 9, 1877.

<mask> () (14 July 1854 – 4 June 1932), (also famously known as শ্রীম, Master Mahashay, and M.), was a disciple of Ramakrishna (a great 19th-century Hindu mystic) and a great mystic himself. He was the author of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita (5 vols. ), a Bengali classic; in English, it is known as The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. He was also an early teacher to Paramahansa Yogananda, a famous 20th-century yogi, guru and philosopher. In his autobiography, Yogananda noted that <mask> ran a small boys' high school in Kolkata, and he recounted their visits, as they often traveled to the Dakshineshwar Kali Temple  together. Having a devotional nature, <mask> worshipped the Divine Mother in the form of Kali, and often reflected the wisdom of his guru Ramakrishna in his daily life and mannerisms. Yogananda reverentially regarded <mask>'s spirituality, calling him an "Incarnation of purity" and "the greatest man of humility I ever knew."Life

Birth and education
<mask> was born to Madhusudan <mask> and Swarnamayi Devi in a Baidya family in the Shimuliya section of Calcutta of West Bengal. After elementary education at the Hare School, he attended Presidency College, receiving his B.A. in 1874. <mask> was a gifted student and performed consistently well until 1874 till he graduated from Presidency College. In 1874 he was married to Nikunja Devi, daughter of Thakur Charan Sen and a relative of Keshub Chandra Sen, a Brahmo Samaj leader. After some time working for the government and a merchant house, he began teaching English, Psychology, and Economics at various colleges. Eventually he became headmaster of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's high school, where he was called "Master Mahashay"—just as he was often addressed in Ramakrishna's circle and later by Yogananda.Meetings with Ramakrishna

As an adult, Mahendranath, like some of the other disciples of Ramakrishna, was connected with the Brahmo Samaj for several years. Mahendranath had lost his mother at a very early age and was experiencing domestic friction in the joint family. As the friction within the joint family increased, Mahendranath decided to commit suicide. At this critical juncture, Mahendranath's nephew took him to the temple garden of Dakshineswar Kali Temple, where Ramakrishna, a mystic and the chief priest of the Kali temple lived. It was here that <mask> met Ramakrishna for the first time and this meeting was a turning point in his life. Years later, when Mahendranath was asked about the greatest day in his life, he said, "the day I had my first darshan of Thakur [Ramakrishna] in February 1882." According to other traditional accounts, Mahendranath related that he may have met Ramakrishna for the first time when he was four years old and became separated from his mother while visiting the Dakshineswar Kali Temple.He began crying, and a blissful and youthful man came up and consoled him. He believed it to be Ramakrishna, who was then a priest at the Kali temple. Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita

M had the habit of maintaining a personal diary since the age of thirteen. M met Sri Ramakrishna in 1882 and, attracted by the latter's teachings, started to maintain a stenographic record of Sri Ramakrishna's conversations and actions in his diary, which finally took the form of a book Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita. Initially when M began writing the diaries, he had no plans of publication. Regarding his methodology M wrote,

In each of his Kathamrita entries, M records the date, time and place of the conversation. The title Kathamrita, literally "nectarine words" was inspired by verse 10.31.9 from the Vaishnava text, the Bhagavata Purana.Both Sri Ramakrishna's wife, Holy Mother Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda later testified to Mahendranath's faithfulness to Sri Ramakrishna's words. The first four volumes were published in 1902, 1904, 1908 and 1910 respectively and the fifth volume in 1932, delayed because of M's health problems. The Kathamrita contains the conversations of Sri Ramakrishna from 19/26 February 1882 to 24 April 1886, during M's visits. The Kathamrita is regarded as a Bengali classic and revered among the followers as a sacred scripture. Famous translations of Kathamrita include works by Swami Nikhilananda(1942), and Dharma Pal <mask>. Teacher to Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda, a 20th-century philosopher and a yogi, was a student of <mask> <mask>. Mahendranath moved to 50 Amherst Street in Calcutta, where he ran a small boys' high school.It was also formerly Paramahansa Yogananda's family home—a site especially poignant to Yogananda because it was the site of his mother's death. In his Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda dedicated an entire chapter to describing his friendship with <mask>, whom he referred to as "Master Mahasaya," which was along spiritual rather than academic lines. Yogananda described Mahendranath as having a "silky white beard and large lustrous eyes" and described his personality thus:
"His role in the world was humble, as befitted the greatest man of humility I ever knew. In this Amherst Street house, Master Mahasaya conducted a small high school for boys. No words of chastisement passed his lips; no rule and ferule maintained his discipline. Higher mathematics indeed were taught in these modest classrooms, and a chemistry of love absent from the textbooks. He spread his wisdom by spiritual contagion rather than impermeable precept.Consumed by an unsophisticated passion for the Divine Mother, the saint no more demanded the outward forms of respect than a child." Yogananda went on to describe several seemingly miraculous experiences with Mahendranath. Later, Yogananda said about him that "I would roll on the ground where he'd walked, so great was my love for him. I felt that even that ground had been sanctified." Later life and death
In 1922, M. lived in Mihijam, a town 144 miles from Kolkata, for nine months. In 1932, when the fifth Volume of Kathamrita was at the printers Mahendranath died at his home, now called Kathamrita Bhavan, located near the Thanthania Kali Temple in Calcutta. Kathamrita Bhavan is a pilgrimage place for followers of Ramakrishna due to numerous visits there by Ramakrishna and Sarada Devi, and several relics associated with their lives.References

<mask> (born <mask> 24 May 1980) is a British musician, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer. To date he has released 3 solo albums and six E.P's under his performer name of <mask>. Known for his sharp lyrics and classic melodies, he first came to  prominence in the "New Yorkshire" music scene (as the NME would label it) in the mid 2000s touring and working alongside acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Long Blondes and Reverend and the Makers. Following relocation to Austin, Texas in 2009, he became a founding member, songwriter and guitarist of acclaimed "dirt-pop" band Bobby Jealousy, who released two full-length albums between 2012–2014, before resuming his solo career back in the UK. Stoney is also an accomplished producer and co-writer for up and coming talent and has worked with Ivor Novello award-winning Guy Chambers, Rick Rubin, Warren Huart and Tim Palmer. Stoney currently lives and works in Sheffield, England. Early career
Stoney first appeared on the UK music scene following the release of his debut inventive and homegrown-style album Amber in 2001.A quirky collection of songs written in his teens, and recorded in his Sheffield basement following his escape from his hometown of Croydon, it was independently distributed initially through a few local record shops on his own Holy Moly label. Stoney played all the instruments on the record. In response to the positive public reaction, a full band was formed to take the songs to the stage, and a three track EP of songs from the album, entitled Amber EP, was released nationally on Thunderbird Records the next year gaining Stoney his first national radio airplay. Stoney signed to Island Records in 2003, teaming up with producers Kevin Bacon and Jon Quarmby (Longpigs, Richard Hawley, Sugababes, Finley Quaye) to record an album. During this time, Stoney and his band performed under the name of Stoneylacuna, to reflect the change from the singer-songwriter feel of Amber to the bigger, full band sound of the new recordings. However, political wrangles ensued and Stoney parted company with the label the following year without a record being released. The Scene and The Unseen
A few months after parting ways with Island Records, the limited edition single "Constantly Running" was released nationally on the small Transistor label, and became the single of the week on the iTunes music store, restarting a frenzy of activity.The single achieved over 17,000 downloads in the UK alone in the first week. <mask> followed up with the Soap in a Bathtub EP, which brought him further national exposure. After forming a new band, Stoney provided the support for the Arctic Monkeys first sell-out UK tour in the Summer of 2005, alongside festival appearances at Glastonbury and Leeds. Stoney became a regular guest on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music and further shows with high-profile acts such as Jamie T, Athlete and Feeder along with his own headline shows quickly gained him a reputation as an exhilarating and charismatic live performer, continuing to win him a steadily growing underground UK fanbase. A double A-side single featuring fan favourites "Until You Leave" and "Holds the Stars" was released at the end of 2005. Stoney released the 12 track album The Scene and The Unseen in the summer of 2006 on the independent Manchester based label Too Nice Recordings and as a download on iTunes. Despite a typically low-key and organic release, it prompted widespread critical acclaim from the national UK papers, with rave reviews from The Independent, NME, The Sunday Times and The Daily Express.It reached Number 19 in the UK iTunes download chart and peaked at Number 4 in France. The album was re-released with full UK distribution on his own Sonic Roar Label in November 2007. During this period, Stoney also started producing other artists, and set up Lacuna Productions, a record production company with fellow Sheffield producer Sam Jones. Lacuna birthed debut singles from several rising Sheffield indie stars such as Bromheads Jacket and Little Ze. Relocation to US
Following an acoustic show at the SXSW festival in Texas, he was flown to Los Angeles by Rick Rubin for a private showcase and champions of Stoney on US radio such as Nic Harcourt at KCRW raised <mask>'s profile over the Atlantic. His tracks started to feature in several Hollywood films & TV series. In response Stoney relocated to Austin, Texas in 2009 and began working on new material with a number of producers including C.J Eiriksson (u2, the rocket summer, Blue October), Darin Prindle (Madonna, Destiny's Child) His first public show was a stripped back set at the British Music Embassy showcase at SXSW alongside Laura Marling & Aqualung and presented by Nic Harcourt.In 2010, Stoney was among the earliest artists to implement the fan funding model, teaming up with PledgeMusic, he successfully launched a new 4 track E.P entitled "The Soar Before" and an accompanying 16 date U.K tour with Athlete. The fans raised the target in 3 days, and the tour was followed by <mask>'s fourth live session and interview on Dermot O'Leary's BBC Radio 2 show, alongside fellow guest Paul McCartney. Bobby Jealousy
In the summer of 2012, <mask> took a departure from his solo career and co-founded a new band in Austin named "Bobby Jealousy" alongside local punk singer Sabrina Ellis and producer Seth Gibbs. The trio of songwriters adopted the services of drummer Clint Simmons and quickly established a strong following in Austin with a series of raucous live residencies around the City. Their debut album "A little Death" was recorded at Gibb's Superpop Studio in the space of a few weeks and was met with critical acclaim, with the lead single "Rainbow" being adopted as the theme tune for Comedy Central's "Big Time in Hollywood, FL" TV Show. The band released a follow up album "The Importance of being Jealous", appeared at the Austin City Limits Music Festival and conducted two tours of the United States before parting ways in 2014. More Than Animals
Following the break up of Bobby Jealousy, <mask> resumed work on a Solo album and in 2014 released his third full album More Than Animals once again to critical acclaim.Largely self produced, several tracks from the album were mixed in Los Angeles with Producer Warren Huart. The release was again fan-funded through Pledgemusic, and met with very favorable reviews internationally. A video for the album track "We Belonged" was shot in the Hill Country in Texas to accompany the album release and the track has since been used in the Series finale of popular us TV show Hart of Dixie and the feature film "The Funeral Guest". The album track "Devil on My Back" was used in the first series finale of Legends starring Sean Bean. Current work
After moving back to the UK in 2015, Stoney began working extensively as a producer and co-writer, helping to develop and support emerging talent across multiple genres, as well as collaborations with established artists such as The Big Pink and Jade Castrinos (of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros)

In early 2020, Stoney announced on social media the forthcoming release of new solo material later in the year. Discography

Tsotleho "<mask>" <mask> is a Lesotho footballer who currently plays as a forward for Bantu FC in the Lesotho Premier League, and the Lesotho national team. Early life
<mask> was born in Lesotho and began playing soccer at age 4 watching his brother <mask>, a member of the Lesotho national football team. He moved to the United States with a host family in Kentucky to pursue a professional soccer career at age 13 after making contact with Thabane Sutu, a former goalkeeper for the Lesotho national team, who was coaching at United 1996 in Louisville. Career

Youth
While living in Kentucky, <mask> played for United 1996 FC in Louisville while earning All-State honors at Trinity High School. College and amateur
From 2010-2013, <mask> played college soccer for the Terrapins of the University of Maryland. His performance in the offense at Maryland, including appearances in every match during the 2012 and 2013 seasons and eight goals and 19 assists in four seasons,  led to him being named the No. 10-rated recruit in the nation.At the time, it was strongly believed that <mask> was one of only two Lesotho-born players to be playing college soccer in the United States, the other being Lepe Seetane who played for the Northwestern Wildcats and came to the United States and lived with the same host family as <mask>. It was announced on 26 January 2011 that <mask> was signed as one of the first 15 players to join the River City Rovers of the Premier Development League for their inaugural season in 2011. However, <mask> never appeared on the roster for the season and did not make any appearances for the club. Professional

Following the 2013 season at Maryland, <mask> was invited to participate in the MLS Combine in hopes of impressing Major League Soccer scouts and being selected in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. However, he was not selected during the draft. After not being selected by an MLS club, it was announced on 24 February 2014 that <mask> had signed a professional contract with Wilmington Hammerheads FC of the USL Pro, the third level of the United States soccer pyramid, for the 2014 season. After missing the Hammerheads' first two games of the season due to a lengthy international clearance process, <mask> made his professional debut on 26 April 2014 in a league match against the Charlotte Eagles.<mask> entered the match in the 60th minute with Wilmington trailing 0-2. Although he did not score, <mask> set up several chances and narrowly missed one of his own. About <mask>'s debut, head coach David Irving said, “I thought <mask> did well when he came on...I thought he gave us a little breath of fresh air...” In May 2014 <mask> scored a hat trick against the United States Under-20 national team when it played the Hammerheads as part of a training camp in North Carolina to prepare for 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup qualification. <mask> scored his first professional goal on 23 August 2014 in an eventual 2-1 victory over the Orange County Blues FC. Only one day after scoring his first professional goal, <mask> scored two more for his first brace in a 3-3 draw with LA Galaxy II. In total, <mask> scored five goals and tallied three assists in 17 appearances during his first professional season, one that included a late-season playoff push. On 24 November 2014, it was announced that <mask>, along with teammate Paul Nicholson, would return to Wilmington for the 2015 USL Pro season to fulfill the second year of their two-year contracts.About <mask> returning to the team, new head coach Carson Porter said, “What is exciting for us is that I don’t think we have seen the best of <mask> and we look forward to working with him and helping him reach his potential as a player. We knew coming into the offseason we wanted to have <mask> back and are excited about his future.”

<mask> moved to USL side Richmond Kickers on January 7, 2016. He remained with the club through the 2017 season, scoring seven total league goals in 49 appearances. Cambodia

In June 2014, <mask> chose to represent his native Lesotho, making his international debut in a 2-0 victory over Liberia during 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification. <mask> started the match and played 60 minutes in the victory which saw Lesotho advanced to the second round of qualifying for the first time in history.
