<mask> (b. April 14, 1960 from Norwalk, California United States) was an American professional "Old School" Bicycle Motocross (BMX) racer whose prime competitive years were from 1976 to 1981. He had the nickname of "Battling". Racing career milestones

Note: In the early days of professional racing, 1977 and prior, many tracks offered small purse prize money to the older racers of an event, even before the official sanctioning bodies offered prize money in formal divisions themselves. Hence some early "professionals" like Stu Thomsen turning "pro" in 1975 at 16 years old where racing for small amounts of money at track events when offered even before the NBA, regarded as the first true national BMX sanctioning body, had a professional division. For the sake of consistency and standardization noted professional first are for the first pro races for prize money offered by official BMX sanctioning bodies and not independent track events. Professional first are also on the national level unless otherwise indicated. Started bacing: Mid 1974 at 14 years old.His father brought him a monoshock BMX bicycle and he tried out racing.

Retired: At the end of the 1983 season. During the last two years of his career he mostly raced 24" Cruiser Class. Height & weight at height of his career: (1983) Ht:5'11 Wt:165 lbs.*At the time there was no separate pro class for pros due to the relatively small number of pros. They raced with the 16 Experts, making it a Pro/Am class essentially. This is why during the early years of the pro division the national number one racer of a sanctioning body could be either an amateur or professional. This practice continued until the NBA's 1979 season in which the pros earned separate pro points and a separate pro plate from the amateurs. The ABA and the NBL followed suit a year later.

In April 1977 Bottema supposedly briefly "retired" to race motorcycle motocross (MX) for D.G., much like how David Clinton briefly "retired" from BMX to race MX in early 1976 for his then sponsor Kawasaki Motors.However, <mask> totally retiring from BMX was an incorrect announcement. He concentrated on MX while racing some BMX. <mask> started racing BMX full-time again in early 1978. Professional
D.G. Performance Specialist: Late April 1976-July 1979. Raleigh Cycle Company of America: July 1979-Mid January 1981. Raleigh dropped its racing team in January 1981.According to teammate Toby Henderson Raleigh allegedly strung himself and <mask>ma along with false promises of a new contract for the 1982 season only to abruptly dropped by Raleigh:

Toby Henderson: "...I was getting a couple of good contracts coming up, and I turned them all down, because I kept calling Raleigh, and saying, "Well, are we going to do something next year?" "Oh yeah, oh yeah, we're really going to be full force next year." [Raleigh's alleged response-ed.] So I turned some good contracts down, and I let it all slide, until the middle of January, when I called them up and said, "Well, where's the contracts? Let's get some contracts going", and they said, Well, we decided we're going to go TV advertisement", and that's all they said, like "Click." [imitating a phone hang up-ed.] And we [Henderson and Bottema-ed.]said, "Huh?" Here we turned down like three or four good contracts in October, when all the other teams were setting their budgets up and looking for their riders for the next year." ---BMX Plus! October 1982
Ironically, Raleigh would restart its BMX sponsoring program a year later. Mountain Dew: Late 1980-Mid 1981. During the early spring and summer of 1981 he was part of the Mountain Dew exhibition team that toured the US demonstrating BMX racing, freestyle and BMX safety. His teammates included Perry Kramer, Harry Leary, Stu Thomsen, Brent Patterson, Bob Haro and R. L. Osborn (this was concurrent and in addition to their primary sponsor at the time).Murray of Ohio Corporation: August 1981-December 1983*  <mask> became road team manager as well as a racer in May 1982.

Notable accolades
He was one of the founding members of the Professional Racing Organization (PRO) racers guild in 1977.In 1980 with then fellow Raleigh teammate Toby Henderson, <mask> became one of the first Americans to be invited to Europe to promote and demonstrate BMX racing. Created and manufactured one of BMX's most popular and famous bicycle components: the Bottema Bullet Fork. It was a tubular unicrown fork manufactured by his company that was the most popular and respected component of its type since Redline Engineering came out with the very first unicrown tube fork for BMX bicycles in 1974. The original M-1 Bullet Fork had extra thick chromoly tubing at .065" and extra long fork legs than other tubular forks of that period to reduce flex while the weight was still competitive with the lighter forks on the market. They are also of the "straight design, .i.e the fork legs are parallel with the head tube as opposed to the legs being angled forward slightly giving the bicycle a longer wheelbase. To compensate the Bottema M-1 fork had a one inch axle lead. These first models were particularly popular with BMX freestyle skatepark bowl riders like <mask> and Eddie Fiola for their extra durability.<mask> had also came out in 1979 with C-1 cruiser models for 26" cruiser racing bicycles. In early 1981 he came out with the M-2 racing model with thinner tubing with the axle line further down the tube legs. In 1987 he won what was called the 1st Annual Masters Series, an exhibition Veteran's Pro class of old time racers of the early 1970s that was held at the ABA Supernationals in San Bernardino, California on January 18, 1987. It was staged and promoted by Scot Breithaupt a pioneer in BMX racing. It was the equivalent of Major League Baseball's Old-Timers' Day exhibition baseball games in which retired stars of the past play a nostalgic friendly game to remember the greats of baseball. This BMX "Old-Timers game" not only featured past stars but their past equipment. The era of 1974–1976 was preferred.No bicycle frame made after 1978 was allowed in the race, although more modern components like Hutch Pedals and GT hubs were allowed for the comfort of the racers. However, for the most part the equipment and uniforms were vintage early to late 1970s. Some looked like they were in storage for years. Past stars like Dennis Dain wore his old Ralph's Bike Shop/Cook Bros. jersey along with his old helmet and number plate. Bottema raced his old DG frame, numberplate and his complete vintage DG uniform complete with helmet from the mid-1970s. Even a Yamaha mono-shock Moto-bike with front and rear suspension ridden by Mark Parerria made an appearance. The order of finish for this proto Veterans Pro Class were:

Significant injuries
His most significant-and life-threatening-injury happened off the track and a couple of months after his retirement from racing. On March 16, 1984 <mask> was abducted and stabbed multiple times in a robbery in Dallas, Texas while traveling with the Murray Bicycle Road Racing team. Police rushed him to Parkland Memorial Hospital (the same hospital that treated a fatally injured President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963) where he was placed on the critical condition list after undergoing two operations and given many blood transfusions.By September 1984 he was virtually fully recovered and in good health. Racing habits and traits
He was known for his uneven teeth, much like Anthony Sewell would later be known for his Coke bottle bottom glasses. Bicycle Motocross News once commented with in-joke irony when it announced his position on a new team:

Colgate was a well known tooth paste manufacture. He would later correct his teeth with braces beginning around 1982. Miscellaneous and trivia
 <mask> was the very first advanced subscription holders of Bicycle Motocross Action when he purchased one on September 5, 1976, at Corona Raceway at a coast of US$3.00

His immediate path after his retirement from completive racing after the 1983 racing season, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee and took a position with Murray Ohio as the Murray Race Team coordinator and its in-house BMX specialist. His $35,000 a year position was responsible for both the Road and BMX racing teams.He was also the Race Coordinator of the then-annual Murray World Cup races. In 1985 he quit Murray and went to work for Lee World. He then joined Mor Distributing which manufactured the then-popular Scootster scooter. He also still had his famous fork manufacturing company.

<mask> (born Colin Fulcher; 30 July 1942 – 14 November 1983) was an English graphic artist whose work encompassed graphic design and music video direction. <mask>, who also sketched and painted privately, is best known for his distinctive contribution to the design practices associated with the British independent music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. His record sleeves, laden with symbols and riddles, were his most recognisable output. Early life
Fulcher was born in Tranmere Road, Whitton, Middlesex (now Greater London), in July 1942. He attended Isleworth Grammar School. In 1958 he embarked on a retail display course for a National Diploma in Design (NDD) at the art school of Twickenham College of Technology. During his five years at the college Fulcher received a multi-disciplinary education that included training in cardboard design, display and packaging, skills that would be utilised later in his record sleeve work.Career

Michael Tucker + Associates
After leaving college in 1963 Fulcher worked as an assistant at the design company Michael Tucker + Associates in London. Its clients included Pirelli. In a rare interview in November 1981 in The Face, <mask> described Tucker's discipline as "very Swiss; very hard; unjustified, very grey; and he taught me everything about typography." Tucker's studio produced the posters for Hugh Hudson's Pirelli-sponsored film The Tortoise & The Hare (1967), for which Fulcher designed the poster lettering on a freelance basis. The Conran Group
In May 1965, Fulcher was recruited by The Conran Group as senior graphic designer alongside Stafford Cliff, Virginia Clive-Smith and John Muggeridge. He produced a variety of commercial commissions for Conran, including the Norman-style archer logo for Strongbow cider and items for Conran's new homewares chain Habitat. Fulcher also established an association with Justin de Blank, a director at Conran, which blossomed when de Blank left to launch his own upmarket provisions company and restaurant business in 1968.A1 Good Guyz and other early activities
Between 1965 and 1966 Fulcher organised happenings, parties and other events under the name A1 Good Guyz with two graduates of Twickenham Art College, David Wills and Roy Burge. In 1967 Fulcher became known as <mask>, though he did not change his name by deed poll for several more years. The name came about when Fulcher was operating a light show that created a bubble effect by mixing oils and water on projection slides. These lightshows were for groups including the Gun and Quintessence at underground venues including the Roundhouse, Jim Haynes's Drury Lane Arts Lab, the Electric Cinema and Middle Earth. With Wills, Bubbles undertook freelance design commissions, including a redesign of Motor Racing magazine and a recipe book for the English Egg Marketing Board. With a team of contributors Bubbles and Wills art-directed Oz magazine issue 12, dubbed The Tax Dodge Special and published in May 1968. Teenburger Designs

Early in 1969, Bubbles took the lease on a three-storey building at 307 Portobello Road in Notting Hill Gate, West London.He converted the ground-floor space into a graphic art studio, which he named Teenburger Designs. With a business association established with two entrepreneurs, Edward Molton and Stephen Warwick, and with John Muggeridge from Conran serving briefly as an assistant, he set about working primarily for the music industry. His first record sleeve design was for Quintessence's LP In Blissful Company (1969). The gatefold sleeve design uses illustrations by Gopala on the front and back, and contains a monochrome glued-in booklet inside. Teenburger also provided record sleeve designs for the bands Brinsley Schwarz and Red Dirt, as well as Vertigo artists such as Cressida, Gracious! and Dr Z, whose LP Three Parts to My Soul is particularly noted for its complex and colourful fold-out sleeve. Following the closure of Teenburger in 1970 as a result of the disappearance of Molton and Warwick, <mask> worked as the designer of the underground newspaper Friends (later renamed Frendz).Hawkwind (and other 1970s rock)

While he was working at Friends, <mask> Fasol Latido and Space Ritual. <mask> engaged in many aspects of the group's visual identity, titling releases and designing posters, adverts, stage decoration and performance plans, some of which were adorned with mystical and mock-Teutonic insignia. In 1972 <mask> produced the triple LP package Glastonbury Fayre. This comprised a six-panel fold-out card sleeve, two poster inserts, a booklet and a cut-out and build miniature pyramid, housed in a clear vinyl bag (with two sleeve variations and three label variations). From 1973 onwards, <mask> increasingly avoided credits for his artwork, typically working anonymously or occasionally adopting alternative pseudonyms. During this period he designed album sleeves and additional material for such acts as the Sutherland Brothers, Kevin Coyne, Edgar Broughton Band, Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers, Quiver, the Kursaal Flyers and Michael Moorcock and the Deep Fix. In 1976 his design relationship with Hawkwind came to an end.It was rekindled once, in 1978, for the Hawklords spin-off, but otherwise continued only with design commissions for projects involving the band's saxophonist Nik Turner. Stiff, Radar and F Beat (and other punk and new wave)

<mask> joined Stiff Records as designer and art director early in 1977. With the label's co-founder Jake Riviera he generated a body of creative work that helped to secure Stiff's reputation as an exciting new independent label. <mask> created sleeves for bands including the Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury and Wreckless Eric. Often these were accompanied by quirky logos such as the face logo for Blockhead, advertisements and promotional items. The marketing of Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True included advertisements in three UK music papers from which a poster of Costello could be constructed, and the first 1,000 pressings contained an insert headed Help Us Hype Elvis, which, if completed and returned to Stiff, ensured that a friend would receive a free copy. When Riviera left Stiff in late 1977, <mask> joined him at his new label Radar Records and later at Riviera's F-Beat Records.At these labels, <mask> created more designs for Elvis Costello, as well as other artists such as Nick Lowe, Carlene Carter and Clive Langer & The Boxes. <mask> also maintained his freelance output, producing designs for Peter Jenner (Ian Dury and Billy Bragg's manager), and others. He created a prodigious output by working for such bands, musicians and performers as Peter Hammill, Vivian Stanshall, Generation X, Big Star, Johnny Moped, Whirlwind, Billy Bragg, Clover, the Sinceros, Roger Chapman, Phillip Goodhand-Tait, Dr. Feelgood, Inner City Unit and the Psychedelic Furs. As a result, his work appeared on releases by labels such as Aura, Chiswick, Utility, Go! Discs, Epic, Charisma, CBS, Line Records, United Artists and Riddle Records. His signature style emerged as one that was colourful, playful, loaded with geometry, art-history and music-history references, jokes, cryptograms and symbols. The overriding appetite was for going against the grain of accepted design standards.His work is simultaneously complex in meaning and simple in its delivery. Examples include:

 Elvis Costello: This Year's Model, which was designed to have a deliberate miscropping so that the entire design was off-register and a sticker that read 'Free Album With This Single';
 The Damned: Damned Damned Damned, a limited number of which were deliberately printed with a photo of Eddie and the Hot Rods on the back of the cover, rather than the Damned playing at the Roxy Club, and with an erratum sticker apologising for this "mistake", and on the front of the LP, on top of the original shrinkwrap, a red food-fight sticker saying 'Damned Damned', thus completing the LP's title when read underneath the band's name;
 Elvis Costello: Armed Forces, with an extended back panel consisting of folding flaps, postcards carrying the instruction DON'T JOIN (advice against joining the armed forces), and a message that these postcards had been die-cut from the rest of the sleeve;
 Ian Dury and the Blockheads: Do It Yourself, which was released in at least 30 known sleeve variations, all of which were old designs supplied by Crown Wallpaper. Music promo videos
<mask> directed several videos, including the Specials' "Ghost Town", Squeeze's "Is That Love" and "Tempted", Elvis Costello's "Clubland" and "New Lace Sleeves", and Fun Boy Three's "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)". Two promos for the punk act Johnny Moped, "Incendiary Device" and "Darling Let's Have Another Baby", were never commercially released to broadcasters. "A good video can sell a record which might not do so well," Bubbles told Smash Hits magazine in 1982. "The record companies know that. I think Chrysalis would agree that The Specials' 'Ghost Town' video helped sales a good deal.This year I intend to make videos which are really inexpensive but really inventive. It can be done, you know." NME

In 1979, riding on the reputation of his work for Stiff, <mask> was engaged by the UK music newspaper New Musical Express to spearhead an overhaul of its decades-old brand. <mask>' redesign incorporated elements of Pop art and 1920s Soviet poster art into a "sleek, forward-looking" graphic format. His restyling included a fresh logo with "clean, stencilled, military-style lettering", which heralded the title's change from New Musical Express to NME. Other work
In 1979 Derek Boshier curated an exhibition entitled Lives at the Hayward Gallery, London, and he commissioned <mask> to design the catalogue and poster. Together with the photographer Chris Gabrin, <mask> also exhibited a video and mixed-media installation in the exhibition.In the early 1980s Bubbles created furniture designs, some of which were featured in The Face, November 1981. In 1982 <mask> conceived the album Ersatz, working primarily with Nik Turner and other musicians from Inner City Unit. The LP was released under the name of The Imperial Pompadours. <mask> painted privately, increasingly in the early 1980s. Death
<mask>, who suffered from manic depression, committed suicide in London on 14 November 1983 by gassing himself, trapping the fumes in a plastic bag he placed over his head, at the age of 41. He had considerable personal and financial worries, and had fallen out of fashion in the early 1980s. His designs for record sleeves were being rejected by musicians and record companies, and he was being investigated by the Inland Revenue for unpaid taxes dating back several years.He was also displaying increasingly erratic behaviour, alarming close friends by lacerating his face with razor blades and making threats to kill himself. He died on his late parents' wedding anniversary. Influence and legacy
<mask> is recognized as a "founding father" of album cover art, who created "hundreds of record sleeves that have sold in their millions across the world". The first exhibition dedicated to <mask>' work was held at London gallery Artomatic in 2001, and was curated by the art-design team Rebecca And Mike. A biography, Reasons to be Cheerful: The Life & Work of <mask> by Paul Gorman, was published in 2008. The book was welcomed as a long-overdue recognition of <mask>' achievements and selected by British music magazine Mojo as its "Book of the Year". A revised second edition of "Reasons to Be Cheerful" was published in October 2010 to coincide with Gorman's curation of the exhibition Process: The Working Practices of <mask> at London gallery Chelsea Space.In January 2012, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a documentary, In Search of <mask>, written and produced by Mark Hodkinson. In summer 2012 Gorman curated "The Past The Present & The Possible", which presented 250 examples of <mask>' finished artworks as part of the exhibition White Noise at the 23rd International Poster & Graphic Design Festival in Chaumont, France. Under the heading "Génération Bubbles! ", the cover and a 10-page feature in the July 2012 issue of French design magazine Étapes were dedicated to the exhibition and <mask>' influence over contemporary design practice. General and group exhibitions
The work of <mask> has been featured in general and group exhibitions, including Destroy: Punk Graphic Design in Britain, held at London's Southbank Centre in 1998 and Communicate: British Independent Graphic Design since the Sixties, staged at the Barbican Centre in 2004. The Victoria and Albert Museum included <mask>' works in the 2011 show Postmodernism: Style & Subversion 1970–1990, and the following year's British Design 1948–2012. References

Vice Admiral Baron  was a career naval officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy, Doctor of Engineering and head of the engineering school of Tokyo Imperial University and a leading Japanese naval architect in the 1910s and 1920s, responsible for designing a number of famous warships, many of which would later see action during World War II. He participated in establishing the Chiba Institute of Technology from 1941. Biography
<mask> was born in Tokyo and grew up in Yokosuka, Kanagawa although his family was from Hiroshima, where his official family registration was located. He graduated from what is now Hibiya High School, and entered the engineering department of Tokyo Imperial University in 1898, specializing in marine engineering. He was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1899, but allowed to continue his studies, and graduated in 1901 as a sub-lieutenant. He immediately went to work for the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal as a design engineer for new warships. Promoted to lieutenant on 28 September 1903, he was transferred to the Kure Naval Arsenal in 1905.From 1905, at the height of the Russo-Japanese War, <mask> was dispatched to the United Kingdom for further studies. He left Yokohama in January, and travelling across the Pacific Ocean, the United States and the Atlantic Ocean, he arrived in London in April. From October, he was enrolled in the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, where he studied the latest techniques in warship design. He graduated in June 1908, and spent the next six months touring various shipyards in France and Italy before returning to Japan in early 1909. In September of the same year, he became a professor of engineering at Tokyo Imperial University, and was promoted to lieutenant-commander on 1 October. In 1912, <mask> was head of the design team for the new battleship , and the conversion of  from battlecruiser into a battleship. He also worked on the designs for the s, and received promotion to commander on 1 December.In 1913, <mask> became Director of Shipyards for the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure (4th class) on 28 November. He was awarded the 3rd class degree of the same decoration on 7 November 1915 for his work in ramping up the efficiency of Japanese shipyards to meet the order demands of the Allies of World War I, and the 2nd class degree on 25 February 1926. In 1916, <mask> became chief engineering director for the Navy’s ambitious Eight-eight fleet project, and began work on a series of high speed battleships and cruisers. On 1 April 1917, he was promoted to the rank of captain, and to rear admiral on 1 June 1922. On 7 November 1920, he was awarded the third class of the Order of the Rising Sun. The innovative cruiser , largely designed by <mask>, was commissioned in 1923.<mask> was appointed a technical advisor to the Japanese delegation at the Washington Naval Conference, and was in the United States from November 1923 to August 1924, becoming head of the Imperial Japanese Navy Technical Department on his return. He was promoted to vice admiral in 1926. <mask> assembled a team of engineers to rebuild the Japanese navy in the aftermath of the terms imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty, which severely restricted designs in terms of displacement and numbers of large capital warships. The innovative designs for cruisers and destroyers formulated by <mask>, which were extraordinarily powerful for their size, were among the most advanced in the world. <mask> concentrated on ways to fit as much weaponry and equipment as possible into a treaty-compliant hull. (i.e. under 10,000 tons standard displacement).However, not content with these advancements, the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff overruled <mask>’s technical objections, and ordered that even more weaponry be added. In the case of s, fifteen  guns were mounted on a hull with a nominal displacement of only 8,500 tons. This raised technical questions overseas on how such designs were possible within the limitations of the Washington Treaty. It was only later revealed that these designs were only possible through generous underestimation of the vessel’s true displacement, and sacrifices in terms of safety. In 1929, after <mask>'s design for the  was shelved, he went into semi-retirement, and retired from active military service in 1930, becoming an advisor to Mitsubishi shipyards. In April 1934, <mask> faced a board of inquiry after the Tomozuru Incident, a marine accident involving the torpedo boat , which overturned and capsized during trials at the Sasebo Naval Arsenal. Resulting investigation revealed what a number of Western engineers had long suspected: <mask>'s designs were top-heavy and tended towards instability.The Tomozuru Incident sent shock waves through the Japanese military, as it called into question the safety and basic design concepts of the most modern warships in the Japanese inventory. <mask>'s reputation suffered a further setback due to the Fourth Fleet Incident, in which many destroyers of the Hiraga-designed s were so damaged in a typhoon that the whole class had to be reconstructed. However, <mask>'s engineering expertise and designs were eventually vindicated in the investigation, and subsequently appointed to the design team for the superbattleship . In December 1938, <mask> became the President of Tokyo Imperial University. In 1939, he conducted what journalists later termed the "Hiraga Purge", by expelling most of the facility of the university’s School of Economics, for publicly supporting liberal political doctrines. On February 17, 1943, <mask> died at Tokyo University Hospital of complications arising from pneumonia. He was posthumously awarded with the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun and also with the kazoku peerage title of baron.His brain was removed on his death, and is preserved at the Tokyo University Hospital. His grave is at the Tama Reien in Fuchū, Tokyo. Notes

<mask> of Connaught  (<mask>; 13 January 1883 – 12 September 1938) was a British military officer and a grandson of Queen Victoria. He served as Governor-General of the Union of South Africa from 20 November 1920 to 21 January 1924. Early life

<mask> was born on 13 January 1883 at Windsor Castle. His father was <mask>, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, third son of Queen Victoria and <mask> of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His mother was the former Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia. <mask> was baptised in the Private Chapel of Windsor Castle on 16 February 1883, and his godparents were Queen Victoria (his paternal grandmother), the German Empress (his great-great aunt, for whom his paternal aunt Princess Beatrice stood proxy), Prince Friedrich Leopold of Prussia (his maternal uncle, who was represented by the German Ambassador Count Münster), Princess Henry of the Netherlands (his maternal aunt, who was represented by Countess Münster), the Duke of Cambridge (the Queen's cousin), and the Duke of Edinburgh (his paternal uncle, whose brother the Prince of Wales represented him). <mask> was the first British royal prince to be educated at Eton College.He was known to his family as "young <mask>" to distinguish him from his father. Military career
<mask> was educated at Eton College, but left there early to join the Royal Military College, Sandhurst at the age of sixteen years and two months. From there he was commissioned into the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars as a second lieutenant in May 1901. He saw his first active posting the following year. After the end of the Second Boer War in June 1902, most of the British troops left South Africa, but the 7th Hussars were posted there to keep the peace. <mask> and 230 men of his regiment left Southampton in the SS Ortona in October 1902, and arrived at Cape Town later the same month. He spent several months stationed at Krugersdorp.In 1907, he was promoted to the rank of captain in the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys). He became the honorary Colonel-in-Chief of this regiment in 1920. During the First World War, <mask> served as aide-de-camp to Generals Sir John French and Sir Douglas Haig, the successive commanders of the British Expeditionary Force in France and Belgium. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1919 and became a colonel in the reserves in 1922. In October 1922, <mask> was promoted to the honorary rank of major general and became an aide-de-camp to his first cousin, King George V.

Since the king's children were too young to undertake public duties until after the First World War, Prince <mask> carried out a variety of ceremonial duties at home and overseas. Human zoo in Edinburgh
Between 1 May and 31 October 1908 the Scottish National Exhibition, opened by <mask> of Connaught, was held in Saughton Park, Edinburgh. One of the attractions was the Senegal Village with its French-speaking Senegalese residents, on show demonstrating their way of life, art and craft while living in beehive huts.Marriage

On 15 October 1913, Prince <mask> married his cousin Princess Alexandra, 2nd Duchess of Fife (17 May 1891 – 26 February 1959) at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, London. The couple were attended by five bridesmaids: The Princess Mary, <mask> of Fife, Princesses Mary, Helena, and May of Teck. Princess Alexandra was the eldest daughter and heir of the 1st Duke of Fife and the Princess Royal, the eldest daughter of King Edward VII. As such, the couple were first cousins once removed. They had a son, Alastair. Later life

After the accession of his cousin, King George V, Prince <mask> and his aging father were the most senior male members of the Royal Family over the age of 18 to reside in the United Kingdom. As such, he undertook a wide variety of royal duties on behalf of the King, and acted as a Counsellor of State during periods of the King's absence abroad.In 1906, by order of the King, he vested the Meiji Emperor of Japan with the Order of the Garter, as a consequence of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. In 1918, he was a guest aboard the Japanese battlecruiser  when she voyaged from Japan to Canada. He visited Tokyo and then Nagoya and was welcomed at Tsuruma Park and the Buntenkaku, and then traveled on to Kyoto. In 1920, <mask> succeeded Viscount Buxton as governor-general and commander-in-chief in South Africa. The Earl of Athlone succeeded him in these posts in 1924. Upon returning to Britain, <mask> became involved in a number of charitable organizations, including serving as chairman of the board of directors of Middlesex Hospital. Like his father, the Duke of Connaught, he was active in the Freemasons, becoming Provincial Grand Master for Berkshire in 1924.<mask> of Connaught died of stomach cancer at age 55 on 12 September 1938. He is buried in the Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore. One of his last public appearances was at the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in May 1937. His father, the <mask> Connaught, survived him by four years. <mask>'s only son, who used the courtesy title Earl of MacDuff after 1917, succeeded his paternal grandfather as 2nd Duke of Connaught and Strathearn and Earl of Sussex in 1942. In 1917, the inescutcheon was dropped by royal warrant from George V.

<mask> (born 5 June 1960) is a British Conservative politician. She was the Member of Parliament for the Conservative stronghold of Bromsgrove from the 1997 to the 2010 general elections. Early life
Kirkbride was born in Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire. Her father was a lorry driver, who died when she was seven. Her mother was a secretary at Rowntree Mackintosh (now owned by Nestlé). She went to the Highlands School (now North Halifax Grammar School) in Illingworth, Halifax. She studied at Girton College, Cambridge from 1978–81, receiving an MA in Economics and History, and serving as vice-president of the Cambridge Union Society in 1981.From 1981–2, she worked as a journalist for the Parliamentary Weekly House Magazine. She went to the Graduate School of Journalism of the University of California Berkeley from 1982–3. She was a researcher for Yorkshire Television from 1983–6, a producer for BBC News and Current Affairs from 1986–9, then worked as a producer at the ITN Parliamentary Unit from 1989–92. She was the political correspondent of The Daily Telegraph from 1992–6 and social affairs editor of The Sunday Telegraph from 1996 until 1997. Parliamentary career
In 1997 general election Kirkbride was elected MP of Bromsgrove, a seat which had consistently been Conservative since the 1970s. She was re-elected in 2001 election and 2005 election with over 50 percent of votes. Kirkbride was the Conservative spokesman on Culture, Media and Sport from 2003 to 2004, but was replaced in a reshuffle by the party leader at that time, Michael Howard.On 10 November 2006, it was revealed that she had links with the Midlands Industrial Council, which has donated millions of pounds to the Conservative Party. She stood down as a Member of Parliament before the 2010 general election, as a result of public anger over her expenses claims. In October 2010, after she had stood down, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards cleared her of any wrongdoing and dismissed the complaints against her. Expenses claims

On 14 May 2009, her husband Andrew MacKay, the Conservative Member for Bracknell, resigned from his position as parliamentary aide to David Cameron, in the wake of the furore over Parliamentary expenses after what was described as an "unacceptable" expenses claim. MacKay and Kirkbride owned two homes: one in her constituency of Bromsgrove; and a house close to Parliament in Westminster. In a case of so-called double-dipping, according to The Daily Telegraph, Mackay had used his Additional Costs Allowance to claim more than £1,000 a month in mortgage interest payments on their joint Westminster house – even though he did not have a residence in his Bracknell constituency – while Kirkbride used her Additional Costs Allowance to claim over £900 a month to pay the mortgage for their family home in her constituency. "This means," reports The Daily Telegraph, "they effectively had no main home but two second homes – and were using public funds to pay for both of them".During 2008–9, MacKay claimed a total of £23,083 under Additional Costs Allowance, while Kirkbride claimed £22,575. They also claimed for each other's travel costs, with Kirkbride claiming £1,392 to meet spouse travel, while MacKay claimed £408. <mask>de employed her sister at taxpayers' expense as her secretary despite her sister living 140 miles from the constituency. Kirkbride also extended her mortgage to pay for a £50,000 extension to her house, which she said was to provide a separate bedroom for her son, and claimed for this on expenses. She said she allowed her brother to stay rent free in her house some of the time so that he could care for her son, Angus, while she undertook constituency work in the evening. Kirkbride also suggested that criticism of her expense claims could deter women from entering Parliament. On 28 May 2009, Kirkbride cancelled a meeting in her Bromsgrove constituency to discuss the expense claims, and it was announced that owing to press criticism of her expense claims, she intended to stand down at the next election.In a letter to Cameron, she said, "My principal concern has to be for my very loyal local supporters in Bromsgrove whose trust in me has been very humbling in the last few weeks ... I also must take into account the effects on my family." A petition in the Bromsgrove constituency demanding Kirkbride's resignation had attracted over 5,000 signatures. Kirkbride also lost the trust of party activists: the results of a poll on the ConservativeHome website showed that 81% of those responding (a self-selecting sample) thought Kirkbride should go and only 6% that she should remain as a Conservative MP. Shortly before her decision to stand down, she had stated that it never crossed her mind that she was doing anything wrong; however, she was also quoted as saying that it was "hugely upsetting to realise I have let people down". On 5 November, she reversed her decision, telling a meeting of the Executive Council of Bromsgrove Conservative Association that she wanted to be considered as their candidate for the next general election. On 18 December she announced she would indeed stand down, in a Christmas and New Year message on her website saying "this is entirely my decision".The Legg review of MPs expenses declared that Kirkbride had to pay back £29,243, the fifth highest total of all MPs. Kirkbride's husband Andrew MacKay had to pay back £31,193, ranking third. Both MPs had paid back the amount in full by the time of the release of the report on 4 February 2010. Kirkbride was one of 98 MPs who voted in favour of legislation which would have kept MPs' expense details secret. In October 2010, the Parliamentary Commissioner of Standards rejected complaints of her expenses and upheld that she had been within the rules to claim her Bromsgrove property as a second home, to allow her brother to stay to look after her child and to extend her mortgage to provide a further bedroom. On the issue of the second home he wrote: "I have concluded that Mr MacKay was wrong to designate the Bromsgrove property as his main home. Given that, it would be unreasonable to hold that Ms Kirkbride could not make legitimate claims from parliamentary resources for the home in her constituency which she had identified as her second home".On the issue of the extended mortgage he wrote: "I conclude, therefore, that Ms Kirkbride was within the rules in claiming interest on the additional mortgage which she, with her husband, took out in April 2008 to extend her Bromsgrove constituency property by building a third bedroom for it so that she had somewhere for her child carer to stay while she was busy on her parliamentary duties". On the issue of her brother, the Commissioner concluded: "I consider that it would be an unduly harsh interpretation of the rules to require a member to meet the living costs of having a person stay overnight in their home when that person was there to look after their dependant child so that they could perform their parliamentary duties. Ms Kirkbride's son was at an age when it was essential that someone should be with him in the evening and overnight. The arrangement enabled Ms Kirkbride to continue with her constituency duties as a Member of Parliament"

Post parliamentary career

Kirkbride has been a trustee of the charity Volunteering Matters since 2016. In 2019, she became a non-executive director of the education inspectorate Ofsted That same year she also became a trustee of the education charity the New Schools Network. Personal life
She had previously been the girlfriend of Conservative MP Stephen Milligan before his death by auto-erotic asphyxiation in 1994. In August 1997, she married Andrew MacKay, the Conservative Member for Bracknell, and their son was born in October 2000.References

<mask> (Dénes Ágnes; born 1931 in Budapest) is a Hungarian-born American conceptual artist  based in New York. She is known for works in a wide range of media—from poetry and philosophical writings to extremely detailed drawings, sculptures, and iconic land art works, such as Wheatfield—A Confrontation (1982), a two-acre field of wheat in downtown Manhattan, commissioned by the Public Art Fund, and Tree Mountain—A Living Time Capsule (1992–96) in Ylojärvi, Finland. Early life and early career
Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1931, her family survived the war, the Nazi occupation, and moved to Sweden on their way to the United States. Still a teenager, she created her first environmental/philosophical work, Bird Project, in Sweden, comparing migrating bird colonies to people — the migrants of the world. She studied painting at the New School and Columbia University in New York. She began her artistic career as a poet. Her poetic practice eventually became works of a unique intellectual content and form she later called Visual Philosophy.<ref name="Ottmann"><mask>'s Visual Philosophy, essay by Klaus Ottmann, Chief Curator of The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, in <mask>: Absolutes and Intermediates, edited by Emma Enderby, The Shed, 2019</ref> She has said that the repeated changes in language led her to focus on the visual arts.She soon abandoned painting, due to the constraints of the canvas, and focused broadly on ideas she could explore in other mediums, saying, "I found its vocabulary limiting." In the early 1970s, she joined the A.I.R. Gallery as a founding member. She has since participated in more than 600 exhibitions at galleries and museums throughout the world, and has written 6 books. She has one son, Robert T. Frankel and twin grandchildren, Ian and Alessa Frankel. She lives and works in New York City. Her image is included in the iconic 1972 poster Some Living American Women Artists by Mary Beth Edelson.Selected works

EcologicalRice/Tree/Burial 1968, Eco-Logic, Sullivan County, New York; re-created 1977 at Artpark
As a pioneer of Land Art, <mask> created Rice/Tree/Burial in 1968 in Sullivan County, New York. Acknowledged as the first site-specific performance piece with ecological concerns, it was enacted ten years later on an expanded scale at Artpark in Lewiston, New York. This performance piece involved planting rice seeds in a field in upstate New York, chaining surrounding trees and burying a time capsule filled with copies of her haiku. "It was about communication with the earth," Denes said, "and communicating with the future."" <mask> at Artpark, 1977-1979
During her time at Artpark, <mask> recreated her Rice/Tree/Burial piece from 1968. In 1977, she planted a half acre of rice 150 feet above the spot where Niagara Falls has originally formed. The land itself that she worked on was known to have been an industrial dumping ground, which affected the quality of the rice.In 1978, she continued the project by chaining together trees in the forest in the park to symbolize interference with growth. On August 20, 1979, Denes buried a time capsule at 47° 10′ longitude, 79° 2′ 32″ latitude set to be opened in the twenty-third century. The capsule includes microfilmed responses of university students to questions about the nature of humanity. Along with the rice, time capsule, and ceremonial chaining of trees in the park, Denes shot photographs of Niagara Falls for this iteration of Rice/Tree/Burial to "add natural force as the fourth element and fuse the other three".Wheatfield — A Confrontation 1982 Manhattan, Battery Park City landfill

After months of preparations, in May 1982, a 2-acre wheat field was planted on a landfill in lower Manhattan, two blocks from Wall Street and the World Trade Center, facing the Statue of Liberty, sponsored by the Public Art Fund. Two hundred truckloads of dirt were brought in and 285 furrows were dug by hand and cleared of rocks and garbage. The seeds were sown by hand and the furrows covered with soil. The field was maintained for four months, cleared of wheat smut, weeded, fertilized, and sprayed against mildew fungus, and an irrigation system was set up.The crop was harvested on August 16 and yielded over 1,000 pounds of healthy, golden wheat.Tree Mountain-a living time capsule 1996, Ylöjärvi, Finland
A monumental earthwork reclamation project and the first man-made virgin forest, situated in Ylöjärvi, Western Finland. The site was dedicated by the President of Finland upon its completion in 1996 and is legally protected for the next four hundred years.A Forest for Australia reforestation of Red Gum, She Oak, and Paperbark trees in Melbourne Australia 1998
6000 trees of an endangered species with varying heights at maturity were planted into five spirals by the artist, creating a step pyramid for each spiral when the trees are fullgrown. The trees help alleviate serious land erosion and desertification threatening Australia. Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie Master Plan, 2000

Incorporating water and flood management, urban planning, historical preservation, landscaping, and tourism into a single plan.North Waterfront Park Masterplan, Berkeley, California, 1988-91. Site plan and art concept. A conceptual master plan was developed for the conversion of a 97-acre municipal landfill, surrounded by water on three sides in the San Francisco Bay, into an oasis for people and nature.The Living Pyramid, Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, NY, 2015.One in a series of large earth sculptures, The Living Pyramid, was the first land art work by the artist in New York City in over 3 decades. Commission by the Socrates Sculpture Park, it was on view from May through October 2015, and recreated in 2017 for documenta 14 in Kassel, Germany. Visual philosophy
Beginning in 1968, she began an intensive exploration of philosophy through art. The result was, according to Jill Hartz of Cornell University, "an amazing body of work, distinguished by its intellectual rigor, aesthetic beauty, conceptual analysis, and environmental concern."

<mask> (born 12 July 1952) is a Jamaican-British singer, best known as one of the original singers of the 1970s disco/reggae band Boney M.

Early life
<mask> was born in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica. At the age of eleven, <mask> and her family emigrated to London, England, in 1963; her childhood home was in the district of Harlesden. By the end of the decade, she auditioned for Hair and eventually moved to Berlin to join the German cast where she replaced Donna Summer. After Hair, <mask> joined the Les Humphries Singers for a few years and represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest with the Ralph Siegel title "Sing Sang Song". The band was then reduced to only six singers for the show (their usual line-ups consisted of 20 performers and up) and came in 15th place with only 12 points, which they regarded as their beginning of the end as a band. Boney M.
A phone call from Katja Wolff agency in February 1976 persuaded <mask> to return to Germany to join a new group being assembled by record producer Frank Farian which would become known as Boney M. Though the group's initial purpose was simply to lip-synch for TV and discothèque performances of Farian's song "Baby Do You Wanna Bump", Boney M. soon became a legitimate recording group with <mask>, Marcia Barrett, and producer Farian as the vocal core. <mask> became widely regarded as Boney M.'s lead vocalist.Farian later stated that "All members (of Boney M.) could be replaced, except <mask>". Although Boney M was largely a Farian vehicle for his own songwriting, <mask> is credited as co-composer of the Boney M song, "African Moon", which appeared on their album, Boonoonoonoos (1981). Though she did not contribute significantly as a songwriter, <mask>'s vocals are widely regarded as the most distinctive part of the Boney M. sound. Boney M. would disband in 1986. After Boney M.
After the group split up shortly after their 10th anniversary in 1986, fellow group member Bobby Farrell convinced <mask>, Maizie Williams and a replacement for Marcia Barrett to re-group for a tour in 1987. A recording contract for the group was also arranged. When Farrell and the replacement singer failed to show up for the rehearsals, <mask> and Williams recruited singer Celena Duncan and dancer Curt Dee Daran for the tour.As Williams had never sung on Boney M.'s recordings, <mask> ended up recording the scheduled album on her own. However, it proved difficult for <mask> to find a record label to release the album, entitled No One Will Force You. It was released in Spain in the Autumn of 1988, supported by the singles "Mandela" (a re-work of Boney M.'s 1979 hit "El Lute") and "Niños De La Playa" (Children of the Beach). The latter was also released on Mega Records in Scandinavia where the group did a tour in October. By this point, Williams had been replaced by Carol Grey. At the same time, Simon Napier-Bell had produced a remix album of Boney M.'s greatest hits and wanted the original line-up to promote it. <mask> reluctantly accepted the offer and Boney M. appeared together again on German TV, even though <mask>'s new line-up still had gigs to play.The success of the remix album led <mask> to sign her album for a French and Dutch release in 1989, and due to personal differences within the group, she eventually decided to focus on her solo career. Even though Madeleine Davis took her place in the group, Farian eventually called <mask> back for a second remix album by the end of 1989 and also had her front a new Boney M. line-up for the single, "Stories", as an answer-back to an unofficial Boney M. single, "Everybody Wants to Dance Like Josephine Baker", recorded by the other three with Madeleine Davis, without Farian's approval. In 1990, <mask> re-formed her 1988 line-up with Patricia Foster replacing Celena Duncan and kept touring the cabaret circuit. In April 1991, she released the single "Mocking Bird", produced by longtime Boney M. collaborator, Helmut Rulofs to minimal attention. After three dire years, the success of Boney M. Gold - 20 Super Hits boosted the career of her line-up, entitled 'Boney M. feat. <mask>', and they were officially approved by Farian to promote the album and the accompanying singles. For the follow-up More Gold - 20 Super Hits Vol.II, <mask> recorded four new songs. No One Will Force You with two previously unreleased tracks from 1984 was also re-released in Denmark, five years after it was recorded. In 1996, <mask> and her husband Thomas Pemberton built the Dove House Studios and formed Dove House Records. With a newly founded fan club, <mask> recorded an EP with four Christmas songs as a special Christmas gift for her fans. In November 1999, <mask> finally released her album Share the World, which had taken three years to complete. In November 2000, she released the seasonal album Christmas Rose which consisted of partly new material, including the title track, "Lord's Prayer" and "I Want to Go to Heaven" co-written by herself, part re-recordings of Boney M.'s Christmas Album. <mask>, now a born-again Christian, continued the inspirational path on Let It Be, her fourth solo album, released in November 2004.Just a few months later, the album <mask> Sings the Hits of Boney M., recorded in Prague, backed by a Czech symphony orchestra, was released. A song recorded in 2006, called "A Moment Of Love", can be found on the compilation album, The Magic of Boney M..

She is still touring, billed as Boney M. featuring <mask>. In 2014 an English Heritage blue plaque was unveiled at <mask>'s childhood home on Wrottesley Road in Harlesden, London, where her father still resided at this time. <mask> now resides in Caversham, Reading. Discography
