<mask> (April 20, 1824March 26, 1894) was an American lawyer, preacher, soldier, and politician. Elected as the 49th Governor of Georgia (1877–1882), he was one of numerous Democrats elected to office as white conservatives took back power in the state at the end of the Reconstruction era. He was elected by the Georgia state legislature to two terms as U.S. Senator, serving from 1883 to 1894 and dying in office. He had served as a United States officer in the Mexican-American War and in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, reaching the rank of brigadier general. Early life

<mask> was born in Monroe, Georgia. His father, Walter T<mask>, became a United States Representative and Senator from Georgia.The younger Colquitt graduated from Princeton College in 1844, studied law and passed his bar examination in 1846. He began practicing law in Monroe. During the Mexican–American War (1848-1849), Colquitt served as a paymaster in the United States Army at the rank of major. After the war, Colquitt was elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives, serving one term from 1853 to 1855. He next was elected to and served in the Georgia state legislature. Colquitt was a delegate to The Georgia Secession Convention of 1861: he voted in favor of secession and signed Georgia's Ordinance of Secession on January 19, 1861. Colquitt was a presidential elector in 1860.Civil War

At the beginning of the civil war, Colquitt was appointed captain in the 6th Georgia Infantry. Eventually rising to colonel, he led his regiment in the Peninsula Campaign. At Seven Pines, he assumed brigade command after Brig. Gen Gabriel Rains was wounded, and led it through the Seven Days Battles. He led his brigade under Stonewall Jackson in the Battle of South Mountain, Battle of Antietam, the Battle of Fredericksburg, and the Battle of Chancellorsville. Colquitt survived Antietam unscathed although nearly every other officer in the brigade was killed or wounded. After the battle, he was immediately promoted to brigadier general, to rank from September 1.After Chancellorsville, some questions arose about Colquitt's performance during that battle, and he was transferred to North Carolina in exchange for Brig. Gen Junius Daniel's brigade. His brigade was transferred again in the summer of 1863 to protect Charleston, South Carolina. In February 1864, Colquitt marched his brigade south to help defend against the Union invasion of Florida, and was victorious in the Battle of Olustee. After this battle, Colquitt's brigade rejoined Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Late in the war the brigade returned to defend North Carolina, where Colquitt surrendered in 1865. Political life
After returning to political life and near the end of the Reconstruction era, Colquitt defeated Republican candidate Jonathan Norcross for governor of Georgia in 1876.He was one of a number of Democrats elected to office as white conservatives regained power in the state, in part by an overt effort by paramilitary insurgents to disrupt and suppress Republican voting, especially by freedmen. Around that time, several thousand "friends" asked for about 30 open government patronage jobs. Those who did not get one of the jobs tried to turn voters against Colquitt. There were rumors that Colquitt was involved in illegal dealings with the Northeastern Railroad. A legislative committee found the governor innocent. During this time he was a part of the Bourbon Triumvirate. Colquitt was reelected in 1880 to serve two years under the new state constitution, which reduced the term of governor from four years to two.Under his term, debt was reduced. In 1883, <mask> was elected by the state legislature as a Democrat to the US Senate from Georgia (this was the practice before an amendment for popular election of senators was ratified in the 20th century). He was re-elected to a second term in 1888. In 1892, Colquitt suffered a stroke and became partially paralyzed. He recovered enough to resume his duties as a senator, but in March 1894, he suffered another stroke that left him mostly incapacitated. He died two weeks later. His body was returned to Georgia, where he was buried in Rose Hill cemetery in Macon.Family life
<mask>'s brother, Col. Peyton H<mask>, was killed at age 31 at the Battle of Chickamauga. Colquitt was married twice: first to the former Dorothy Elizabeth Tarver (1829-1855), and after her death to her brother's widow, the former Sarah Bunn Tarver (1832-1898). He was the father of three children with his first wife and seven children with his second wife. See also

<mask> (born April 5, 1973) is an American basketball coach and former professional player who is an assistant coach for the Texas Legends of the NBA G League. He played the point guard position in the National Basketball Association from 1995 to 2008 and appeared in three NBA Finals. Known for his defense, <mask> was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team in 2003. Following his playing career, <mask> served as an assistant coach at Florida Atlantic for two years (2014-2016) after having worked two seasons at SMU (2012–14) as the director of player development under Larry Brown, his former coach. High school career
<mask> began his basketball career at Canton McKinley High School in Canton, Ohio. He was McKinley High School's MVP for three straight seasons. College career
<mask> attended college at Michigan State University.He played varsity basketball at Michigan State under head coach Jud Heathcote. In his senior season, the Spartans earned a #3 seed to the 1995 NCAA Tournament, but they were upset in the first round by Weber State University. NBA career

Seattle SuperSonics
After college, <mask> was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 43rd overall pick in the 1995 NBA draft. He was immediately traded to the Seattle SuperSonics, where he played sparingly for the next two-and-one-half seasons. Philadelphia 76ers
On January 18, 1998, <mask> was acquired from Seattle by the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a second-round draft pick. At the time of the trade, <mask> was averaging just 4.4 minutes per game; Sixers head coach Larry Brown gave him a bigger role in Philadelphia. In his first full season in Philadelphia, he started every game he played in and averaged 35.8 minutes per game.As a pass-first, defensive-minded point guard, <mask> became a stalwart of the Brown-era 76ers teams. <mask>'s ability to guard opposing teams' shooting guards made him an ideal complement to Allen Iverson, a high-scoring but unusually small shooting guard. Despite missing thirty-two games early in the 2000–01 season due to injury, <mask> played a crucial role in helping the 76ers earn the top playoff seed in the Eastern Conference and ultimately reach the 2001 NBA Finals, where they lost in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers. During the following season, Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant stated that nobody in the league defended him better than <mask>. In 2002–03, <mask> posted career highs in points per game (12.9), rebounds per game (3.7), minutes per game (37.9), field goal percentage (45.2%), and free throw percentage (85.8%). <mask>'s excellent free throw percentage was particularly noteworthy, as he had been a very poor foul shooter in college and early in his NBA career, averaging 52.1% from the stripe during his four seasons at Michigan State and 59.2% as a rookie. He also averaged 6.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game in 2002–03.Cleveland Cavaliers
On July 20, 2004, <mask> was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for Kevin Ollie and Kedrick Brown. He was suspended without pay for a December 18, 2004 game against the Boston Celtics after a confrontation with Paul Silas, the coach of the Cavaliers. It was the only game that <mask> missed in his first three years with the Cavaliers. He had a season-high 16 points on January 22, 2005 against the Golden State Warriors and a season-high 13 assists on April 19, 2005 against the Boston Celtics (which is also his high assist total as a Cavalier). <mask> ranked fifth in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.56); he donated $20 for every one of his steals and assists during the 2004–05 season. <mask> played in and started all 82 games for the Cavaliers in the 2005-06 season, helping the Cavaliers return to the playoffs for the first time since 1998. He started all 13 playoff games for the Cavaliers.He scored 18 points in a Game 5 victory over the Washington Wizards during the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Detroit Pistons in 7 games in the semifinals. The following season, for the fifth and final time in his career, <mask> played in all 82 games. He had a season high 18 points on January 13, 2007 against the Los Angeles Clippers and a season-high 11 assists on January 20, 2007 against the Golden State Warriors. However, he gradually lost playing time through the course of the season to Daniel Gibson, until he came off the bench on January 30, 2007, bringing an end to <mask>'s streak of starts that lasted for 127 games. The Cavaliers made the NBA Finals and lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a sweep that year. In his 13th NBA season, <mask> was named team co-captain, along with LeBron James. <mask> only played in 22 games that season.On March 11, 2008, it was announced that <mask> would miss four to six weeks due to arthritic-related symptoms in his left knee, ending his season. After the injury, <mask> conceded that he likely would not play in the NBA again. Unable to play, but still listed as an active player on the Cavaliers' roster, <mask> served on Head Coach Mike Brown's staff as an unofficial assistant coach for the 2008-09 season. On April 4, 2009, <mask> was given a "medically necessary" release and began working as an analyst for NBA TV. Achievements
During his playing career, <mask> reached the NBA Finals three times (and once with each of the teams on which he played): the SuperSonics in 1996, the 76ers in 2001, and the Cavaliers in 2007. All three appearances were losses. In Philadelphia and Cleveland, <mask> served as team co-captain along Allen Iverson and LeBron James, respectively.Coaching career
<mask> was hired as assistant coach for the Texas Legends in 2017 through NBA's Assistant Coaches Program (ACP) after his two-year spell as assistant coach for the Florida Atlantic University. Prior to that, <mask> had been the director of player development for the Southern Methodist University through 2012–2014. Personal life

<mask> (July 1661 – 28 June 1681) was a French noblewoman and one of the many mistresses of Louis XIV. A lady-in-waiting to his sister-in-law Elizabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatine, the Duchess of Orléans, she caught the attention of the Sun King and began an affair with him in 1679. She died two years later, most probably as a result of complications arising from childbirth. Royal mistress
<mask> was born in 1661 at the Château de Cropières in Upper Auvergne. She came from a very old aristocratic family; her father was the Comte <mask>le, and the King's Lieutenant. Her family realized that her beauty was a great asset and raised enough money to send her to court with the aim of restoring the family fortunes. <mask> arrived at the court of Louis XIV in 1678 and became maid of honor to the Duchess of Orléans.At the time Louis XIV had appeared to be losing interest in his long time established mistress Marquise <mask> and turning to the governess of their children, <mask> Maintenon. Infatuated by the beauty of the young girl, the King suddenly abandoned both women, and the stand-off between the two was suddenly eclipsed by a new passion which appeared to threaten them both equally. Despite her physical charms, <mask> was said by the court to be "as stupid as a basket." The Duchess of Orleans wrote "[she is] a stupid little creature, but she [has] a very a good heart" but described her as "lovely as an angel, from head to foot". Louis XIV, however, suddenly felt young again. He wore diamonds, ribbons and feathers, and presented her with a pearl grey carriage with eight horses. During a hunt in the forest of Fontainebleau, her hair clung to a branch and she appeared before the king with her hair loosely tied in a ribbon, tumbling in curls to her shoulders.The king found this rustic style delightful, and the next day many courtiers adopted the new "fontange" hairstyle, except the Marquise <mask>, who thought it was in "bad taste". Two pet bears belonging to Montespan escaped from their menagerie and managed to find, and destroy, <mask>'s apartment in Versailles. This event made both women comical at court. Soon it appeared she was pregnant, further angering Montespan, who had thought their affair was a passing fancy, easily controlled and easily disposed of. She said to the Marquise <mask>on that the king had three mistresses: herself in name, this girl in bed and Maintenon in his heart. In January 1680, <mask> gave premature birth to a stillborn boy, and was said to have been "wounded in the service of the King." In April, Louis granted her the title Duchess of Fontanges and a pension of 80,000 livres, as was his usual habit on ending love affairs.Unwell after the birth, she retired to the Abbey of Chelles. Death
In 1681, <mask> suffered a high fever and was sent to the Abbey of Port-Royal, where, according to some sources, she gave birth prematurely to a stillborn girl in March. Realising she was going to die, she asked to see the king, who,  touched by her suffering, wept while at her deathbed. Fontanges is reported to have said, "having seen tears in the eyes of my King, I can die happy". This story was deemed untrue by many at Versailles because according to them, the king had, in fact, already forgotten her. The duchess died on the night of 28 June 1681. She was not yet 20 years old.Louis XIV expressed the wish that there be no autopsy, however, at the request of her family, one was performed. The doctors found that her lungs were in appalling condition (with the right one in particular being full of "purulent matter") while her chest was flooded with fluid. All six doctors concurred that death was due to natural causes. Possible death by poisoning

As <mask> died during the Affair of the Poisons in France, poisoning was suspected. During interrogations, some of the accused had mentioned the name of Fontanges, and several other women of the court in connection to various schemes and plots. Marguerite Monvoisin, the daughter of sorceress La Voisin was the first to accuse accomplices of her late mother of poisoning the duchess. Monvoisin's lovers, Bertrand and Romani, were arrested in 1681 as suspects.Bertrand was accused of selling poisonous stuffs to Fontanges; while Romani was accused of delivering her gloves contaminated with poison. Françoise Filastre, a servant in the household of Fontanges was arrested, and when asked about what she knew about the duchess's death, under torture claimed that Montespan had hired her to murder Fontanges, so she could regain the love of the king. Before being executed, Filastre later recanted : "All I said is false. I did that for me to be free of pain and torment. I say all this because I do not want to kill the guilty conscience of a lie." Although rumours of poisoning abounded, dubious evidence from various unreliable witnesses who either recanted or contradicted each other meant no charges were ever laid. Aftermath
Historian Antonia Fraser suggests that <mask> died from pleuro-pneumonia induced by tuberculosis.In view of the fact that she was known to have suffered from a persistent loss of blood after her miscarriage, another doctor suggested that when she lost her baby, a fragment of the placenta lodged in her uterus. An alternative suggestion is that she was killed by a rare form of cancer, which occasionally develops after a cyst on the placenta is expelled during pregnancy. The probability is that she died from complications arising from her earlier miscarriage. At court, several courtiers wrote about the duchess's death. According to Ernest Lavisse and Bernard Noël, "Two miscarriages caused her to lose favor with the king." The Duchess of Orleans claimed that it was certain the duchess was poisoned by Madame <mask>, and suspected that the poison was administered in her milk. Despite the medical findings, rumours persisted that the Duchess of Fontanges died from poisoning.In film

<mask>  (13 November 1937 – 3 October 2006) was a Fijian-born Indian Muslim community leader and lawyer in New Zealand. Upbringing and education

<mask> was born in Fiji on 13 November 1937. In 1967 he migrated to New Zealand to study law at the University of Auckland where he gained a LLB degree and undertook the Law Professional exams in 1972. He practised as a barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand for over 21 years and is remembered for “introducing the mens rea ingredient to the offence of overstaying”. Career

In 1969 <mask> and several Auckland based Indian Muslims from Fiji set up the Anjuman Himayat Al-Islami. <mask> provided leadership and legal advice. Following negotiations with other Muslims in Auckland Muslim community it was agreed to formally dissolve the Anjuman and merge it into the older New Zealand Muslim Association (NZMA).In January 1977, <mask> was appointed both president and legal advisor of the NZMA, whilst Avdo Musovich served as vice-president. M Hafiz Sidat and Maulana Ahmed Said Musa Patel served as the spiritual and religious advisors to the organisation. On 6 March 1977 the NZMA held its AGM in the 17 Vermont Street Islamic Centre in Ponsonby and <mask> was confirmed as Association president. He subsequently held the job for ten years. In February 1987 <mask> stood down from the post but was directly selected to be the Association Patron. He maintained this title until 1990. In November 1979, the Auckland City Council sanctioned plans for the first purpose built mosque in all New Zealand.<mask>, Said Alvi, Patel, Mazhar Krasniqi and Hajji Mohammed Hussein Sahib all mortgaged their private homes in order to ensure the Association had enough money to follow the project through. Elsewhere Muslims throughout New Zealand had initiated dialogue on the urgent necessity of creating a nationwide Islamic entity to represent all their collective communal aims, interests and objectives. In April 1979 the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ) was established with <mask>’s friend and colleague from the NZMA, Mazhar Krasniqi, as the first president. Six months later in September 1979 <mask> was voted president. <mask> maintained this title until the FIANZ AGM of 6 April 1980, and was re-elected in April 1981 for two consecutive years. Under Rasheed the Federation devoted itself to the welfare of all Muslims, to efforts to educate the wider public about Islam as a faith and to the certification of Halal export meat. In May 1984 <mask> was part of a ten-man delegation  - alongside Dr Ashraf Choudhary, Mazhar Krasniqi, members of the New Zealand Meat Board and a representative of the Department of Trade and industry - to the UAE and Kuwait to resolve ongoing Halal issues.So FIANZ secured its first contract with the New Zealand Meat Producers Board in 1984 for $169,000. Today this contract generates annual income of over one million dollars. In January 1985 when the Federation sent a four-man delegation to attend the RISEAP AGM in Malaysia, <mask> was selected to participate. <mask> featured regularly in the New Zealand media and was one of the first Muslims to respond and interact proactively. In December 1980 he was first interviewed by New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation, on the Auckland regional programme “Top Half” talking about the ongoing construction of the mosque in Ponsonby. He was also interviewed three years later on television in June 1983 for an item on Ramadan in New Zealand. Overall <mask> featured prominently in various newspaper articles on Islam.In 1992 <mask> retired from many of this tasks owing to ill health, as well as from NZMA and FIANZ activities. He continued, hover, to participate in more modest community affairs and even furthered his own education. <mask> had strong feelings about improving Christian-Muslim relationships for instance and was a founder (and later the patron) of the Auckland-based Council of Christians and Muslims (CCM). During this time he studied with Dr Douglas Pratt at the prestigious University of Waikato and in 1996 became a Bachelor of Theology (University of Auckland). <mask> was interviewed by the New Zealand Herald for the occasion and articulated his belief that it was critical for Christians and Muslims to respect one another’s dogmas. When Dr Pratt published his prominent book “The Challenge of Islam: Encounters in Interfaith Dialogue” in 2005, he honoured <mask> by dedicating the monograph to his former student. The Federation of Islamic Associations hosted a WAMY-sponsored South Pacific Islamic Youth Da’wah Training Course at Ponsonby Mosque in April 1999.This week-long gathering was organised by <mask> and drew in over a hundred Muslim youth representing most of the South Pacific region. The Deputy Mayor of Auckland, the Reverend Dr Bruce Huckner, was the chief guest. Other interlocutors included Dr Hajji Mustapha Omari (from the Australian WAMY office) and Dr Pratt. In the 2002 Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee Honours, <mask> was appointed a Companion of the Queen's Service Order for community service. Death

On 3 October 2006 <mask> <mask> died in Auckland. A Commemorative Dinner was undertaken at the Auckland Chancery Chambers on 1 December and this was attended by the Governor-General, several prominent government ministers (past and present), and many lawyers, judges, doctors, academics and other friends. A resolution was made to continue <mask>’s work in the creation of the Rasheed Memorial Da’wah Trust.Waikato University academic Douglas Pratt, who lectured Rasheed at Auckland University and described him as "both my student and my teacher", said he was a voice for tolerance. "His whole philosophy as a Muslim leader was to say, 'Here in this country are many religions and it behoves us to (a) be good citizens, and (b) lead our religious lives in such a way that we can be good neighbours and live in dialogue.' "To that extent he was a unique voice," Pratt said. Literature

Dame <mask>, DBE (12 November 1922 – 15 September 2014) was a British Conservative Party politician. Political career
Joining the Conservative Party in 1952, she was elected to Sevenoaks council five years later, chairing it in 1962 and 1963; she also served on the West Kent education executive. She made a strong impression among Kentish Tories, and in 1964 was shortlisted ahead of 104 applicants, almost all men, to succeed Harold Macmillan at Bromley. She missed out in the final selection, then again at Brighton Kemptown where the party was seeking — and would fail — to overturn a Labour majority of seven. After unsuccessfully fighting Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1966, <mask> was elected MP for Rochester and Chatham at the 1970 general election. Rochester and Chatham Conservatives selected her to take on the Left-wing Labour MP Anne Kerr, and in 1970 she bettered the national swing to capture the seat by 5,341 votes. Both candidates bemoaned the fact that the other could not have found a man to defeat somewhere else, and when <mask> arrived in the Commons it was women's issues that she took up.Her first success was to force the Royal Navy to scuttle a “dial a sailor” scheme for the public to befriend sailors docking away from their home port, after Navy wives complained. She joined other Tory women in trying to amend the recently liberalised divorce laws which ended the right of the “innocent party” to veto divorce after five years. Her work on the Expenditure Select Committee impressed, and in November 1972 Heath appointed her Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Agriculture with responsibility for prices, which were becoming an issue as inflation set in. <mask> served as Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, with responsibility for food, from November 1972 to February 1974 under Edward Heath, and again from September 1981 to September 1986 under Margaret Thatcher. Upon leaving the government in 1986 she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. At MAFF she took through the legislation obliging food producers to put sell-by dates on their products, but spent most of her time tackling a rising tide of complaints about higher meat prices, caused by a world shortage, and explaining a 48 per cent increase in food prices in three years. When Labour's Willie Hamilton complained of being charged 5p for a banana, she told him curtly: “You could certainly do with some help with your shopping.I bought six bananas for 17p recently, and I don’t have time to shop around.” Hamilton was back next week saying he had now been charged 16½p for three bananas. In the February 1974 election called by Heath over the miners’ strike, <mask> fought a tight battle with Roger Kenward, Labour, and her majority slumped to 843. In opposition, she joined Britain's contingent in the then-nominated European Parliament. She attended only a handful of sessions before Harold Wilson called another election and Labour's Bob Bean ousted her by 2,418 votes. She was out of the Commons for Mrs Thatcher's overthrow of Heath, and as the Tories regrouped for a return to government. She won back Rochester and Chatham in 1979, by 2,688 votes. John Nott's decision to close Chatham dockyard was a blow to <mask>'s constituents, many of whom took it out on their MP.And before she could launch a campaign against the closure, Mrs Thatcher, in September 1981, gave her back her old job at MAFF. Prices were now less of an issue, so she could address concerns over quality: the conditions in which veal calves and battery hens were kept, the amount of fat in mince and water in sausages, dyes in pet food, tighter curbs on pesticides, pesticide residues on lemons that were polluting gin-and-tonics, and the unsuitability of cling film for microwave cooking. She also presided over the first raising of the Thames Barrier. At the 1983 election the Rochester and Chatham seat was abolished and <mask> was elected MP for the new constituency of Medway. She continued to hold the seat for the next fourteen years, being re-elected at the 1987 and 1992 general elections, until she lost it at the 1997 election to Labour's Bob Marshall-Andrews. On the death of Baroness Jeger in 2007, <mask> became the oldest living woman to have served as an MP in the United Kingdom. Mrs Thatcher dropped her in September 1986 in a cull of junior ministers, compensating her with a DBE.Dame <mask> became a leading campaigner against the high speed link across Kent to the Channel Tunnel. For a decade from 1987 she returned to Strasbourg as a delegate to the Council of Europe and Western European Union. The 1997 election brought boundary changes and a heavy national swing to Labour. Dame <mask>, her 75th birthday approaching, went down by 5,354 votes to the colourful barrister Bob Marshall-Andrews. Personal life
Born on 12 November 1922 in Lewisham, London, as <mask> Bennett, she was cared for in infancy by her grandparents. Her parents divorced when she was three and she never saw her father again. Educated at a London County Council elementary school in Brockley, Kent she went on to attend Ide Hill School in Sevenoaks but left aged 14 going into service.In 1940 aged 18 she married architect <mask> and went into wartime factory work. The couple had one daughter. Her husband <mask> and their daughter predeceased her. She died on 15 September 2014. References

<mask> (24 January 1838 – 11 February 1891), commonly referred to as D. C. F<mask>, was a South African writer, historian and linguist who published a newspaper The Portonian in Port Adelaide, South Australia, from 1871 to 1879. <mask> was born near Stellenbosch, South Africa, the sixth son of public servant <mask>, R.N. (1794–1861) and his wife <mask>, née Pigot (1804 – 26 October 1881). When quite young, his father was appointed the Colony of Natal's first Colonial Secretary after the imposition of British rule, and the family moved accordingly. The boy's formal education was sporadic, partly owing to the paucity of teaching in the new Colony, but also on account of his impulsive nature. Most of his education must have come from his mother, whom he adored: a cultured and talented woman who, among other attributes was a fine chess player, and taught her children to play at a high standard. His nomadic nature took him over much of the Colony, where he fraternised with vagrants of many races, gaining a working knowledge of a variety of languages and dialects.He was a particular admirer of the Zulu race, and his vernacular Zulu was said to be indistinguishable from that of a native speaker. He was a fine athlete, and a decent shot with a rifle, and enjoyed quoit playing, wrestling and other sports. South Australia
<mask> came to South Australia from South Africa around 1869, and soon found employment with the Customs Department at Port Adelaide. In 1870 he was nominated for the Humane Society's medal when he dived into the river fully clothed to rescue a young man who had fallen overboard from the Coonatto. The story that he was subsequently sacked because his tally-book was spoiled by the immersion gained credence with repetition. Moodie founded the weekly newspaper The Portonian (1871 – May 1879) as a forum for news about Port Adelaide, but much of the paper's content was devoted to criticising the Parliament, the Governor and just about any other authority figure. His racy, vigorous style of writing won for the paper a large and loyal circulation.He employed a talented cartoonist in "Cerberus" (John Eden Savill, better known as a racehorse owner), and journalist Spencer Skipper, who later, as "Hugh Kalyptus", gained fame for his satirical column "Echoes and Re-Echoes". <mask> himself was a brilliant writer and well regarded as a poet. He contributed news items from South Africa, in particular the Anglo-Zulu War early in 1879. Portonian ceased without notice in May 1879. <mask> was not one to settle down however, and publication of The Portonian in the last years became intermittent and ceased entirely in May 1879 without announcement or apology. Savill's political cartoons had almost completely disappeared; in their place were works by W. Wyburd and W. Pyndar Willis. The Portonian was printed by Webb, Vardon & Pritchard, and the artwork lithographed by the firm of Penman & Galbraith.Other satiric newspapers of the period in Adelaide were:
F. S<mask>'s The Lantern;
H. C. Evans's Quiz (became Quiz and The Lantern)
J. C. F. Johnson's Adelaide Punch
H. A. Grainger's Australian Star

<mask> was an excellent swimmer, and on one occasion in 1880 outlasted the renowned "Professor" <mask> (1839–1927) in a swim from the Semaphore to Glenelg, a distance of . <mask>ll was accompanied by a friend in a rowboat, and <mask> by his Zulu friend Ugende in a catamaran. <mask>, older, "blue-blooded and scarlet-faced" and somewhat corpulent, kept up with his rival and continued for several miles after Cavill was forced to retire due to eye inflammation, but did not complete the distance. <mask>ll did complete the distance (in the other direction) a week later. Persistent rumours that <mask> had cheated by touching the bottom and so dishonestly propelling himself were rebuffed by referees who had accompanied the pair in another boat. He took offence at an article in the Williamstown Advertiser of Williamstown, Victoria on 15 May 1880 in which Queen Victoria was called an "obese, not overburdened with brains, old woman". He and Ugende took a steamer to Melbourne with the avowed intent of giving Alfred Thomas <mask>, the paper's prominent co-owner, a caning.He was convicted of assault and fined £3. Not having sufficient funds for the return passage, the pair walked back to Adelaide, taking 17 days, crossing the Ninety Mile Desert in five. The cane was sent by some sympathisers to Walsh Bros., where it was suitably mounted, and engraved:With this cane Mr. <mask>. F. Moodie thrashed A. T<mask>, M.P., for insulting Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Presented by a few Melbourne gentlemen, June, 1880. On his return he found that solicitor Alfred Knight Whitby had given advice to Mrs. Moodie regarding separation from her husband. <mask> promptly sought out the lawyer at Aldridge's Prince Alfred Hotel and in front of witnesses knocked him to the floor. For this assault he was fined £5.He wrote lyrics, to which Jules Meilhan BA ( –1882) composed the music, for a patriotic cantata which was performed at the opening of the Adelaide Exhibition of 1881 (not to be confused with the Jubilee Cantata, or Victoria Cantata, written (words and music) by <mask>n for the Adelaide Jubilee International Exhibition of 1887). Genial and sociable but erratic, "Zulu" Moodie as he had been dubbed seemed to be continually in the public eye: he put himself forward as candidate for the seat of Encounter Bay, but was hissed down; he offered to lead a contingent to fight in the Transvaal, then to organise a South Australian Guerrilla Force; he wrote "Letters to the Editor" on subjects as diverse as decoding the Biblical 666 and the ban on ostrich farming. He was in the forefront in organising a Literary Society, then after being elected Secretary, claimed to have lost the minute book and resigned. Return to Africa
In 1883 he made a brief return to South Africa, then around September 1883 returned for good. Around 1889 or 1890 he founded a newspaper The South African Rambler, which may not have survived its first issue. He died at sea aboard a steamer off the island of Tenerife, perhaps en route between Cape Town and London. Bibliography

 included a poem by his brother John Bell Moodie.

. . . His most notable performance, "The Wars and Battlefields of South Africa", will be of abiding value and interest.It is a pictorial history of the picturesque epochs of South Africa. It contains a good deal of matter, Chief <mask>'s chapters for instance, that can be found nowhere else. Family
Moodie came from a large and influential family, descendants of Major <mask> (1757–1820), Laird Of Melsetter. His father's younger brother John Wedderburn <mask> (1797–1869) was a notable administrator and author whose wife <mask>, née Strickland (1803–1885) was a noted author. <mask> was a cousin. Among his many brothers were:
(William James) <mask> (1827–1903), Resident Magistrate of the Umkomanzi District. <mask> (1827– ) excelled at the long jump, and was a fine swimmer
George Pigot <mask> (1829–1891), a surveyor
<mask> <mask> (1833–1858), was a champion runner
John Bell <mask> (1836–1876), a poet of some merit who became a barrister, was a fine swimmer.Alfred Harding <mask> (1846–1882) was Postmaster-General of Natal
A sister married Rev. James Green, Dean of Pietermaritzburg, and another was the wife of diplomat John Shepstone, brother of Sir Theophilus Shepstone, Secretary for Native Affairs. <mask> married Matilda Hunt (1855– ) in Adelaide on 27 June 1874. Among their children were
Harold/Harald Wedderburn <mask> (21 September 1874 – December 1898) born in Adelaide
Erland Olave <mask> (5 May 1884 – ) born in Pietermaritzburg
For all the attention Moodie received in Adelaide, his family remained out of the limelight, and little information on their activities is available from the contemporary press. They had a home on South Terrace. References

<mask> (born 16 September 1952) is a theoretical physicist from Austria. He is Professor at the University of Innsbruck and works on quantum optics and quantum information and is best known for his pioneering research on quantum computing and quantum communication and for bridging quantum optics and solid state physics. Biography
<mask> studied physics at the University of Innsbruck, obtained his doctorate there in February 1977, and became a lecturer at their Institute of Theoretical Physics. For 1978/79, he was granted a Max Kade stipend to research with <mask> at the University of Southern California. In 1980, he stayed at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand, as a researcher with the group around Dan Walls. In 1981, <mask> handed in his book "Über die lichtstatistische Abhängigkeit resonanter Multiphoton-Prozesse" at the University of Innsbruck to qualify as a professor by receiving the "venia docendi". He spent 1981/82 and 1988 as Visiting Fellow at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and 1986 as guest professor at the Université de Paris-Sud 11, Orsay.In 1991, <mask> was appointed Professor of Physics and JILA Fellow at JILA and at the Physics Department of the University of Colorado, Boulder. At the end of 1994, he accepted a chair at the University of Innsbruck, where he has worked ever since. From 1995 to 1999, he headed the Institute of Theoretical Physics, from 2001 to 2004, he was vice-dean of studies. <mask> continues to keep in close touch with JILA as Adjoint Fellow. Numerous guest professorships have taken him to all major centers of physics throughout the world. He was Loeb lecturer in Harvard, Boston, MA (2004) and Yan Jici chair professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, chair professor at Tsinghua University, Beijing (2004), Lorentz professor at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands (2005), Distinguished Lecturer at the Technion in Haifa (2007), Moore Distinguished Scholar at Caltech (2008/2010) and Arnold Sommerfeld Lecturer at LMU München (2010). In 2012/13 he was "Distinguished Fellow" at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Munich.In 2014 he has been elected as an "External Scientific Member" at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. In 2015 he held the International Jacques Solvay Chair in Physics at the University of Brussels . Since 2003, <mask> has also held the position of Scientific Director at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. In 2018, <mask> co-founded Alpine Quantum Technologies, a quantum computing hardware company. Research
As a theoretician, <mask> has written major works on the interaction of laser light and atoms. In addition to fundamental developments in quantum optics he has succeeded in bridging quantum information and solid state physics. The model of a quantum computer, suggested by him and Ignacio Cirac in 1995, is based on the interaction of lasers with cold ions confined in an electromagnetic trap.The principles of this idea have been implemented in experiments over recent years and it is considered one of the most promising concepts for the development of a scalable quantum computer. Zoller and his researcher colleagues have also managed to link quantum physics with solid state physics. One of his suggestions has been to build a quantum simulator with cold atoms and use it to research hitherto unexplained phenomena in high temperature superconductors. Zoller's ideas and concepts attract widespread interest within the scientific community and his works are highly cited. Books

<mask> (8 January 1901 – 9 April 1960), was a Polish consulting engineer and industrial coding expert. He was the designer of the Brisch Classification, widely known and used in building and engineering. He became a British citizen in the 1940s. Biography
Born in Lodz, Poland, he gained an Intermediate B.Sc. (Engineering) at the Technical University of Warsaw, then a diploma in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toulouse. He returned to Warsaw, where from 1926 to 1929 he was Assistant Chief Designer at the Ursus tractor factory, and was then appointed Works Manager of Citroën's Warsaw branch. He remained there until 1932 before taking on the role of Engineer in charge of Development of National Production at the Polish State Engineering Works.By now married, in 1934 he established an engineering consultancy in Warsaw, transferring soon afterwards to Paris, where he did some work for the British Army’s armoured vehicle operations. Returning to Poland in summer 1939 to visit his family, trapped there by the German invasion, he escaped to Riga in Latvia, but Latvia was to be occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. Unable to return to Paris, <mask> was urged by the British War Office and Vickers Ltd to come to England, but that journey proved extremely difficult. Sir Stafford Cripps, then British Ambassador in Moscow, helped to arrange his land and air journey from Riga to Rangoon in British Burma. He left Riga in June 1941, scarcely a month before the German occupation, reaching Rangoon (by way of Chungking, wartime capital of China) in August 1941. Burma, in turn, was soon to be conquered by Japan, but he was able to continue his journey via Bombay in British India to Liverpool, a total of some 25,000 miles (40,000 km). Cripps’ intervention had probably saved his life.He kept a record in Polish of this long and hazardous journey, of which the first seven pages have survived. They can now be read online in English translation. He arrived in England with a lung ailment, contracted in Burma, and underwent an immediate pneumonectomy, but this left him prone to infections for the rest of his life. In late 1942 he joined the Department of Tank Design of the Ministry of Supply, and worked also during the war years for the War Office school of technology. His first wife having died in the Warsaw Ghetto, he married his British nurse, Susan Rogers (1920–2018), in 1947. In the same year he founded in London a firm of consultants, E. G. Brisch and Partners. R. S<mask>, with whom he had worked at the Department of Tank Design, was to join him in 1953.This was the most fruitful period of <mask>'s life: his business activities extended to other countries in Europe and beyond. He established an American branch, first in Cleveland (1956) and later in Toledo, Ohio. The American firm had among its early clients the Owens-Illinois Glass Company, the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company, General Electric in Cleveland and the Underwood Company of New York. In 1957, <mask> moved his family from Oxshott in Surrey to settle in Toledo. Never robust following his lung surgery, he died of pneumonia in Toledo on 9 April 1960. His widow and three children moved back to Surrey in the same year. The Brisch Classification
<mask> was a member of numerous British and American technical and management societies and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.He wrote several technical papers in his field. His great innovation was the development of a flexible machine-card inventory classification system, which was adopted by major companies in the US and Europe. His work drew some inspiration from the Universal Decimal Classification, used for classifying documents. The uniqueness of the idea lies in the nomination of a primary code (typically within nine main headings 00-80) attached to every ‘part’, based on its essential features (shape and dimension). A further, secondary, code (based on 81 two-digit numbers, representing concepts, which are divided, and can be used in any conjunction) is then bonded to the parent, determined by its process features (e.g. machining operation). Evolving with the advances of computing and digitisation, the system has spread roots in contemporary situations requiring complicated inventory management.The system had wide applicability. In 1955 <mask> published a paper on his classification in the newly established journal of the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux, ASLIB Proceedings. Sir Frank Francis, director and principal librarian at the British Museum, in the brief memoir that he contributed to The Times at <mask>'s death, recalled frequent discussions on "expanding the methods [Brisch] had successfully developed for industry to the classification of documents and books. In the course of these discussions he elaborated a classification for music designed to make possible precise reference to documents illustrating many different aspects of a particular subject."

<mask> (born 4 January 1955, Ashton-under-Lyne, Tameside, England) is an English singer/songwriter, musician and record producer. He has toured in bands, provided backup for well-known musicians, and written songs that have been covered by Kim Carnes, Norma Waterson and Nanci Griffith. He is featured in Hugh Gregory's 2002 book 1,000 Great Guitarists. Background
<mask> was born and raised in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England. His earliest musical influence was The Beatles in the early 1960s. It was around this time that he received his first guitar as a present from his parents, using the proceeds from the sale of his older brother's unwanted drum kit. <mask> played in a band at school but played his first professional gig with Any Trouble, the band he formed in Crewe, England with college friends around 1975.Going professional after Any Trouble signed a recording contract, <mask> has continued as a working musician. <mask> and Manx singer, Christine Collister, together formed folk-rock duo Gregson & Collister, and produced a number of CD albums. After the band's demise, <mask> went on to perform solo. In 1993, <mask> relocated from the UK to Nashville, United States. In 2003, his career suffered a hiatus of several months after he broke his arm and shoulder in a fall from a ladder. He made a full recovery and continues to record and tour extensively in countries including the UK and Japan from his new base in Houston, Texas..

<mask>'s professional music career started as he took the role of lead-singer of Any Trouble, the band he had co-founded in the mid 1970s, as well the role of songwriter and rhythm guitarist after co-founder Tom Jackson left.Having recorded and released <mask>'s composition Yesterday's Love as an indie single in 1979 Any Trouble began to receive airplay courtesy of BBC Radio 1 DJs John Peel, Andy Peebles and others in the UK. This led to interest from major record labels including WEA, Chrysalis, EMI and Stiff. They selected Stiff "because they were our kind of people". Any Trouble released three albums on Stiff, including a live album, initially for promotion only, and a further two on EMI America; all were well-received critically, and were accompanied by singles and extensive touring. Despite featuring regularly on radio playlists Any Trouble's popularity wasn't reflected in record sales, and they disbanded in 1984. They re-formed briefly in 2007 to record a new album Life in Reverse, released again through the re-constituted Stiff Records in the UK, playing a headline gig to support it at the Jazz Cafe, London, England. In November 2013, the band re-formed for a one-off gig at the 229 Club, London, England, in support of the release of the three-CD set The Complete Stiff Recordings 1980–1981

In 2014, they recorded Present Tense, playing a short tour in December 2014, which included Band on the Wall, Manchester, England on 2 December 2014. plus dates in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Birmingham, England, the 229 Club, London, England, and the Purple Weekend Festival, in León, Spain.Richard Thompson Band
While working with Any Trouble, <mask> was introduced to Richard Thompson at the wedding of John Wood, who had produced Any Trouble's debut album and worked on a number of records with Thompson. The meeting led to <mask>'s singing backing vocals on the Richard and Linda Thompson album Shoot Out the Lights. This was to be the start of a long association with Richard Thompson during which they recorded and toured together extensively. <mask> introduced Christine Collister to Thompson, resulting in her also joining the Richard Thompson Band. Gregson & Collister
In 1984, shortly after the release of Any Trouble's fifth album Wrong End of the Race, <mask> saw vocalist Christine Collister perform at Poynton Folk Club, Cheshire, England. After the demise of Any Trouble, <mask> recorded a solo album (Strange Persuasions) and invited Collister to sing on it. Shortly after this, Richard Thompson asked <mask> to sing on his album Across a Crowded Room; at <mask>'s suggestion, Collister was enlisted for vocal duties, leading to her joining the Richard Thompson Band.The <mask> and Collister musical partnership proved popular and productive, producing five albums and earning them the attribution "the state of the art in British folk-rock" by Rolling Stone. Their albums, whose songs were all written by <mask>, included the low-fi live duo record Home and Away (recorded on a four-track Portastudio cassette recorder), Mischief, featuring a band including Martin Hughes from Any Trouble, A Change in the Weather, and covers album Love Is a Strange Hotel. By 1992, <mask> and Collister went separate ways after recording a fifth and final album The Last Word; the supporting tour proved to be their most successful. A CD compilation celebrating <mask>'s and Collister's career, The Best of <mask> & Christine Collister, was released by Gregson & Collister Recordings through Gott Discs in 2006. Solo again
