<mask>, FBA (née Nicol, 6 February 1913 – 9 December 1996) was a British paleoanthropologist who discovered the first fossilised Proconsul skull, an extinct ape which is now believed to be ancestral to humans. She also discovered the robust Zinjanthropus skull at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, eastern Africa. For much of her career she worked with her husband, <mask>, at Olduvai Gorge, where they uncovered fossils of ancient hominines and the earliest hominins, as well as the stone tools produced by the latter group. <mask> developed a system for classifying the stone tools found at Olduvai. She discovered the Laetoli footprints, and at the Laetoli site she discovered hominin fossils that were more than 3.75 million years old. During her career, <mask> discovered fifteen new species of animal. She also brought about the naming of a new genus.In 1972, after the death of her husband, <mask> became director of excavations at Olduvai. She maintained the <mask> family tradition of palaeoanthropology by training her son, Richard, in the field. Biography

Childhood
<mask> was born on 6 February 1913, in London, England to Erskine Edward Nicol and Cecilia Marion (Frere) Nicol. The Nicol family moved to numerous locations in thе United States, Italy, and Egypt where Erskine painted watercolors that he brought back and sold in England. <mask> began to develop an enthusiasm for Egyptology during these travels. On her mother's side, <mask> was a 3rd great-granddaughter of antiquarian John Frere. The Frere family had been active abolitionists in the British colonial empire during the 19th century and established several communities for freed slaves.Three of these communities were still in existence when <mask> published her 1984 autobiography: Freretown, Kenya; Freretown, South Africa; and Freretown, India. The Nicols spent much of their time in southern France where young <mask> became fluent in French. In 1925, when <mask> was 12, the Nicols stayed at the commune, Les Eyzies, at a time when Elie Peyrony, a French archeologist and prehistorian, was excavating one of the caves there. Peyrony was not excavating scientifically during that early stage of archaeology and did not understand the significance of much of what he found. <mask> received permission to go through the remnants of his dig and this was where her interests in prehistory and archaeology were sparked. She started a collection of points, scrapers, and blades from the dump and developed her first system of classification. The family then moved to Cabrerets, a village of Lot, France.There she met Abbé Lemozi, the village priest, who befriended her and became her mentor for a time. The two toured Pech Merle cave to view the prehistoric paintings of bison and horses. Education
In the spring of 1926, when <mask> was thirteen years old, her father died of cancer and <mask> and her mother returned to London. <mask> was placed in a local Catholic convent to be educated, and she later boasted of never passing an examination there. Although she spoke fluent French, <mask> did not excel at French language studies, apparently because her teacher frowned upon her provincial accent. She was expelled for refusing to recite poetry, and was later expelled from a second convent school for causing an explosion in a chemistry laboratory. After the second expulsion, her mother hired two tutors, who were no more successful than the nuns.After the unsuccessful tutors, her mother hired a nanny. <mask>'s particular interests centered on illustration and archaeology, but formal university admission was impossible with her academic record. Her mother contacted a professor at Oxford University about possible admission, and was encouraged not to apply, as it would be a waste of her time. <mask> had no further contact with the university until it awarded her an honorary doctoral degree in 1951. The small family moved to Kensington, in West London, where, though unregistered, <mask> attended lectures in archaeology and related subjects at the University College and at the London Museum, where she studied under Mortimer Wheeler. <mask> applied to work on a number of summer excavations. Wheeler was the first to accept her for a dig.It took place at St. Albans at the Roman site of Verulamium. Her next dig was at Hembury, a Neolithic site, under Dorothy Liddell, who trained her for four years until 1934. Her illustrations of tools for Liddell drew the attention of Gertrude Caton Thompson, and, in late 1932, she entered the field as an illustrator for Caton Thompson's book The Desert Fayoum. Life

Through Caton Thompson, an English archeologist, <mask> met <mask>, who was in need of an illustrator for his book Adam's Ancestors (1934). While she was doing that work they became romantically involved. <mask> was still married and his son Collin had just been born when they moved in with each other. They married after Frida <mask> divorced him in 1936.This ruined his career at Cambridge University. <mask> and <mask> had three sons: Jonathan, born in 1940, Richard in 1944, and Philip in 1949. Their fourth child, a daughter, died as a baby. The three boys received much of their early childhood care at various anthropological sites and, whenever possible, the <mask>s excavated and explored as a family. The children accompanied them to various work sites, with dig becoming a family endeavour. The boys grew up with the same love of freedom that their parents had become accustomed to. <mask> would not even allow guests to shoo away the pet hyraxes that helped themselves to food and drink at the dinner table.In her autobiography, she rarely mentioned her pregnancies or the difficulties she faced while raising children in Kenya. She smoked a lot, first cigarettes and then cigars, and usually dressed as though completing an excavation. While her husband was alive, they published many joint findings. However, her contributions were often credited to her husband. <mask> died on 1 October 1972 of a heart attack. <mask> continued with the family's archaeological work, becoming a respected figure in paleoanthropology of her own right. Her son, <mask>, also decided to become a paleoanthropologist, and <mask> helped him begin his career.Her two sons, Jonathan and <mask>, pursued other interests. Death
<mask> died on 9 December 1996, in Nairobi, Kenya, at the age of 83. Her family, who announced her death, did not give the cause, saying only that she died peacefully. Research

<mask> served her apprenticeship under Dorothy Liddell at Hembury, 1930–34 (see above). In 1934, she took part in a dig at Swanscombe where she discovered the largest elephant tooth known to Britain at that time. Throughout the 1930s-50s, <mask> and <mask> worked at Later Stone Age, Neolithic, and Iron Age archaeological sites in central Kenya, such as Hyrax Hill and Njoro River Cave. In October 1948, <mask> discovered a Proconsul africanus skull on Rusinga Island.<mask> also recorded and published the Kondoa Irangi Rock Paintings in central Tanzania. The Leakeys' most famous research, however, was at Olduvai Gorge in the Serengeti plains of northern Tanzania. The site yielded many stone tools, from Oldowan choppers to multi-purpose hand axes. The earliest tools they dug up were likely made by Homo habilis and can be dated to over two million years ago. On the morning of 17 July 1959, Louis felt ill at Olduvai and stayed at camp while <mask> went out to the field. At some point she noticed a piece of bone that "seemed to be part of a skull" with a "hominid" look". After dusting the topsoil away, she found "two large teeth set in the curve of a jaw", and she drove back to camp exclaiming "I've got him!"Active excavation began the following day and a partial cranium was unearthed within a few weeks, though it had to be reconstructed from fragments scattered in the scree. After examining the cranium, <mask> concluded it was of a species ancestral to humans, the australopithecines. He eventually dubbed the find Zinjanthropus boisei, "East Africa man"—Zinj is an ancient Arabic word for the East African coast. The name was later revised to Paranthropus boisei, and by some to Australopithecus boisei;  a consensus on its classification is still in debate. After her husband died in 1972, <mask> continued their work at Olduvai and Laetoli. It was at the Laetoli site that she discovered hominin fossils that were more than 3.75 million years old. From 1976 to 1981, <mask> and her staff uncovered the Laetoli hominin footprint trail which had been tracked through a layer of volcanic ash some 3.6 million years ago.The subsequent years were filled with research at Olduvai and Laetoli, follow-up work to discoveries, and preparing publications. Throughout her career, <mask> discovered 15 new species of animals, and one new genus. She was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1979. Legacy
In April 2013, <mask> was honoured by Royal Mail in the UK, as one of six people selected as subjects for the "Great Britons" commemorative postage stamp issue. Google celebrated the 100th anniversary of <mask>'s birth with its Google doodle for 6 February 2013. In the video game Civilization VI, <mask> is a Great Scientist that players can recruit. Her unique ability grants extra science and tourism to artifacts.

Anthony John "<mask>" <mask> was an Australian man who disappeared while backpacking in North Queensland in November 1982. The case garnered substantial mass media attention, with critics charging that police mishandled the investigation into <mask>' disappearance. Disappearance
At the time of his disappearance, <mask>, a native of Perth, Western Australia, was in the last stages of a six-month working holiday around Australia. After quick visits to Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney, he settled for several months in Brisbane before finally setting off on the homeward leg of the journey with his brother <mask>. For three weeks, <mask> hitchhiked while his brother rode a bicycle. They communicated by phoning relatives and leaving messages for each other. Along the way, they met up briefly at Mackay and Airlie Beach and spent a week together in Townsville, Queensland, where they shared a caravan with two fellow travelers at the Sun City Caravan Park in Rosslea.When <mask> began the 900 km bike ride out west to Mount Isa, <mask> set off alone on 28 October 1982 for a side trip to Cairns. When he arrived back in Townsville on 3 November 1982, he telephoned his family and girlfriend in Perth. He was surprised to learn that <mask> had already reached Mount Isa, and learned that his mother had just topped up his bank account with $150 that was to be shared with <mask>. <mask> made no more phone calls and did not use his bank account again, and never made it to Mount Isa. Coronial inquest
In May 1983, the government issued a reward of $20,000 for information which leads to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the disappearance and suspected murder of <mask>. In 2010, the reward was increased to $250,000. Despite no body having been found, Coroner Ian Fisher stated in his findings on 20 February 2002 that <mask> was a victim of homicide."I am satisfied that the missing person is dead," wrote the coroner. "I find that he died on or around the 3rd of November 1982 at the hands of a person or persons unknown". In spite of the homicide finding, <mask>' family was initially unable to get a death certificate because of an anomaly in Queensland legislation, which prevented the issuance of a death certificate in cases where the coroner failed to indicate a specific place of death. The Attorney-General of Queensland and Minister for Justice, Linda Lavarch, subsequently introduced new legislation in 2005, saying "the <mask> family has suffered enough...they should not suffer further by not being able to get a death certificate for their son". The certificate was eventually issued in January 2006. Reopening of the coronial inquest
The <mask> family's review of inquest documents in 2007 unearthed a slew of neglected leads. However, owing to the protracted and unsatisfactory response of police and government officials, and a refusal by authorities to refer the case to the cold case unit, the family petitioned the Attorney-General Cameron Dick on 14 June 2009 to reopen the inquest.The petition was ignored for fifteen months. Then, in September 2010, when the Queensland government launched a "walk a day in my shoes" campaign in a bid to curb its falling ratings in the opinion polls, <mask>, a brother of the victim, sent Dick a pair of his shoes, daring him to walk in the shoes of a victim of Queensland crime. On 18 September, a day after the shoes arrived at his office, Dick announced that he had instructed the State Coroner Michael Barnes to reopen the inquest. The new inquest has been beset with long delays, a protracted police investigation and a changeover of key personnel such as the coroner and counsel assisting. However, on 14 April 2016, some six years after the family first petitioned Dick, State Coroner Terry Ryan held a pre-inquest hearing and subsequently scheduled the new inquest to be held in Townsville from 29 August until 9 September 2016. The hearing was later suspended, pending a judicial review in September 2018, which was unsuccessful. Cloncurry search
In January 2011, a retired grazier from Cloncurry informed the <mask> family of old evidence that appeared to have been lost or forgotten by police for decades.He said that about 29 years earlier he had given Cloncurry police some physical evidence which he and a friend, a retired police officer, found on the edge of the township. The evidence included remnants of some camping gear and a letter addressed to <mask> from his mother. The witness said he was frustrated by the lack of response from police when he made inquiries in 2010 about the old evidence; however, the family relayed his story to the coroner, and the coroner instructed police to undertake a thorough search of the campsite. On 11 October 2011, a search party of eight officers and four SES volunteers spent six hours searching the campsite—identified as a 50 m2 area beside the Cloncurry River near the intersection of Quamby Road and Barkly Highway. The search failed to find any sign of <mask>' belongings or remains. After the search, Northern Region Crime Coordinator, Detective Acting Inspector Mick Walker, told the media that police were still investigating what happened to the evidence handed in to Cloncurry police. Prison cell confession
A former prisoner came forward on 13 October 2011, saying that while incarcerated at the Townsville Correctional Centre in January 2000, a cell mate confessed they "did a bloke out near Mount Isa."Prison and criminal records helped identify the suspect as Michael James Laundess. More information on the suspect was expected to come to light at the coronial inquest, but long delays resulted in a missed opportunity to hear what Laundess had to say about the allegations and the location of the body. With the inquest still on hold, Laundess died in Perth on 17 October 2015, aged 53. Criticisms of the Queensland Police investigation
The first attempts of the <mask> family to phone in a missing persons report on 11 November 1982 were complicated by red tape. The investigation by Queensland Police only commenced three days later when family members traveled five thousand kilometres to file the report in person. As stated at the inquest, basic inquiries were neglected: for example, police failed to get a report from the hospital on treatment <mask> had received prior to his disappearance, and at least one key witness mentioned by the coroner was never interviewed. The family was also left without police assistance when they conducted a door-knock inquiry in the vicinity of the phone booth on Bowen Road, Rosslea, which was the last confirmed whereabouts.Police did not release a composite sketch of a suspect until ten years after they received information about the suspect. Media reports on the inquest highlighted other problems with the investigation, reporting that some of the witness statements were missing and that the former investigating officer had been uncooperative with coronial inquiries. The media also reported that it wasn't until 2001 that statements were obtained from several people who first approached police in 1982. Other criticisms were voiced by the coroner and the coroner's assistant. Coroner Fisher said "more attention should have been given to early investigation", while his assistant, Sergeant Kym Farquharson-<mask>, said the inquest evidence showed police investigations into the disappearance were "not sufficient by today's standard." The view of Sergeant Farquharson-<mask> is indicative of the systemic problems highlighted in the Fitzgerald Inquiry report. <mask> QC, who presided over the Royal Commission into police misconduct, said the Queensland Police culture of the 1980s was "debilitated by misconduct, inefficiency, incompetence, and deficient leadership".As a result of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, the Commissioner of Police Terry Lewis, who held the post during the early years of the <mask> investigation, was subsequently convicted and jailed for corruption. In defence of the police handling of the <mask> case, Det. Snr. Sgt. Chris Lill, who worked on the case for about fifteen years, said in a report to the Townsville coroner that "rightly or wrongly, missing persons over the age of sixteen years of age did not attract or command the deployment or availability of resources as they would have in this day and age". Unresolved leads

In January 1983 police received a tip-off on the whereabouts of <mask>' body. The letter was postmarked Cairns, where <mask> had visited in the days before his disappearance.The text is as follows: "I believe body of <mask> buried in or near Fullarton River bed within 100 yds west southside Flinders Hwy. Lochiel" After a fruitless two-day search, police concluded the letter was a hoax. Inquest documents reveal that in the weeks before the search, the dry river bed was flowing with "about 20-foot of water" and that there was "not much hope" of finding any trace of <mask> or his belongings. The <mask> family urged police to use DNA profiling of the Lochiel evidence to determine the identity of Lochiel; for years police declined on the grounds the evidence had not been preserved in good condition, but they subsequently admitted to coronial investigators that they had lost the Lochiel letter. A witness told police he had seen an older man with <mask> at the Rising Sun Hotel in Townsville on the night he disappeared. Ten years later, in 1992, police published an identikit picture of the suspect. The first tip-offs from the public suggested the sketch resembled the former police superintendent Mervyn Henry Stevenson, a former stock squad officer whose retirement as officer in charge of the Townsville police about a year before <mask> disappeared was tainted by accusations of corruption.Stevenson's name surfaced during the original inquest in 2001, but inquest transcripts and the 2009 follow-up police report by case investigator Senior Sergeant John Mahony indicate that up until that time (seventeen years after the tip-offs), police had never investigated Stevenson's involvement in the disappearance. In February 2016, during the lead up to the new inquest, Mahony confirmed Stevenson was a person of interest and that "it is now up to the Coroner to decide if Merv will play a part in the inquest". A second sketch was produced by Townsville Bulletin artist Chris Brunton. The sketch yielded several more leads, some of which had not been investigated by the time of the inquest in 2002. The coroner instructed police to continue their investigation of those leads, particularly in relation to two persons of interest called Pickering and Douglas; however, another seven years elapsed before police acted on the coroner's instructions and, by that time, Pickering and Douglas had both died. A 1999 internal police memo (obtained by the <mask> family under the Freedom of Information Act 1982) alludes to another suspect with a prior criminal conviction. The case officer wrote the following to the homicide squad:

"I have also received a letter from a retired grazier who has named a suspect by the name of (blank) and I note that his history indicates he is most probably a (blank) and I consider that he should be interviewed.I have attached a copy of the letter." However, neither the grazier's letter nor details of any homicide inquiries related to the letter were documented or discussed at the inquest in 2002 or ever made known to the family. <mask> was known to be carrying a dismantled rifle in his backpack at the time of his disappearance, but the rifle has never been found. It is a .22 calibre Voere rifle, serial number 257435; and the stock was stained dark red. Renewed hope of major breakthrough
On 8 February 2014, Mahony announced that "fresh and credible" information linking <mask> to a country town in northwest Queensland had sparked renewed hope of a major breakthrough. Further updates about the breakthrough were given on 10 February 2014 by Townsville Detective Acting Superintendent Cheryl Scanlon, who announced that a team of detectives was heading to Hughenden to speak with people who lived and worked in the town the year <mask> disappeared. On 12 February, Scanlon said new information had indicated <mask> may have been murdered at Hughenden.Hughenden first became a place of interest in December 1982 when at least five people from the area alleged that on the weekend of 12–14 November, they talked with a young hitchhiker who bore a resemblance to <mask>. Police collected statements and made further inquiries around town. It transpired that one sighting referred to a young man of Aboriginal descent; another to an Italian tourist. The others were about a man with a full beard. One witness said she had talked with <mask> at the Grand Hotel around 8.00 pm on 12 November and that he was identical to the photograph of <mask>, including what she called the "Abraham Lincoln-style" beard. The fact that <mask> had shaved his beard off a few days before his disappearance, as well as the elapse of time and failure to access his bank account or contact his family or girlfriend in that time, meant that all the Hughenden sightings were subsequently dismissed by the lead investigator, Det. Chris Lill, and by Coroner Fisher in the 2002 coronial inquest.Missing Persons Week
<mask>' disappearance was the inspiration and catalyst for the establishment of Australia's National Missing Persons Week in 1988. The inaugural Missing Persons Week was launched with a memorial service at the Holy Spirit Church in Townsville, after which the city's mayor planted a tree in commemoration of <mask>. Missing Persons Week is now held every year in Australia in the first week of August to highlight the plight of missing persons and their families. Cold case playing cards
In February 2008, more than 500 decks of cold case playing cards were distributed to inmates at several Queensland prisons in the hope that significant crimes could be solved if prisoners revealed information after being prompted by the cards. Details of <mask> can be found on the two of spades. See also

<mask> (March 21, 1912 – August 27, 2004) was an American B-movie actress and dancer who starred in stock film genres of the 1930s and 1940s: horror films, westerns, comedies, and romances. Early life
A native of New York City, she was born Sophie Kischnerman on March 21, 1912 in Brooklyn, New York. Kaaren attended Erasmus Hall High School and Hunter College before being signed by 20th Century Fox in September 1933. In 1931, she won a high-jumping contest in a New York City school contest. Her parents refused to let her compete in the Olympic Games. She collected butterflies as a hobby and had several books filled with the insects. Career

Early career
She acted with stock companies and posed as a model for commercial painters and cigarette advertising.Kaaren appeared in dramatic parts in New York theaters and trained at the Hedgerow Theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Early on, Kaaren was a Ziegfeld Girl and later was one of the original Rockettes. She performed on stage on December 27, 1932, the night Radio City Music Hall opened. Movie actress

Kaaren left for Hollywood in October 1933. Her starting salary with Fox Films was $150 per week. She was eventually cast opposite Tim McCoy in Ridin' Gents, a Monogram Pictures production. She was then signed by Republic Pictures to play a character in From Rags To Riches.Ridin' Gents was filmed without either McCoy or Kaaren. She joined a troupe assembled by producer Walter Wanger, which also included Gloria Youngblood. The theatrical company was known as Trade Winds. The comedy When's Your Birthday? (1937) showcased the zany Joe E. Brown, with Kaaren among the supporting players in an RKO Radio Pictures movie about an astrologer. In October 1941, Kaaren was added to the cast of I Married an Angel. She portrayed a maid named Simone, and was uncredited.In October 1943, Pete Smith assigned <mask> and Harry Barris the leading roles in an MGM motion picture which was to be called Practical Joker. The film was never made. Kaaren figured prominently in several Three Stooges comedy short films. They are Disorder in the Court, Yes, We Have No Bonanza, and What's the Matador?. Miracles for Sale (1939) was based on the novel Death From A Tophat by Clayton Rawson. Kaaren plays a woman who is separated into halves and then joined together again suspensefully. The murder mystery has Robert Young and Florence Rice in prominent roles.She starred opposite Bela Lugosi in The Devil Bat. The cult film of the horror film genre is a Poverty Row production released by Producers Releasing Corporation. In the movie, Lugosi breeds giant bats to attack people. Her final appearance on film was an uncredited role as the Duchess of Park Avenue (Manhattan) in 1984's The Cotton Club. Theater
Kaaren stepped into the character usually played by Ann Thomas in a Broadway presentation of Chicken Every Sunday. Staged in September 1944, Thomas left the production to go to Hollywood. In July 1946, Kaaren's elder son, Brewster, was in the play with her as an eight-month-old.She was also joined by her husband, Sidney Blackmer, on stage at the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania. In April 1953, the Blackmers starred in Glad Tidings in Atlantic City, New Jersey. A month later, the show moved to the Quarterback Theatre, also in Atlantic City. In 1959, Kaaren appeared in The Royal Family at the Hinsdale Summer Theater in Chicago, Illinois. Linda Darnell starred; Karyn Kupcinet and Stuart Brent were also in the cast. The theme was a famous family of the American stage. Personal life
Kaaren married stage and screen actor Sidney Blackmer on June 13, 1943, in a civil ceremony in Santa Ana, California.Raquel Torres was a witness at the wedding. Blackmer was married previously to Lenore Ulric. By this time, Kaaren was under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The marriage was a turbulent one from the outset. The couple separated in September 1943 and Blackmer instructed his attorney to file for divorce in October, but the couple remained together until Blackmer's death in October 1973. The marriage produced two sons, Brewster and Jonathen. The Blackmers had lived in his family home in Salisbury, North Carolina, until it was damaged by fire in 1984.Afterward, she resided in a rent-controlled Manhattan apartment at 100 Central Park South. According to her obituary, real estate developer (and later the 45th president of the United States) Donald Trump bought the building and threatened to evict all the tenants and tear it down to build something more lucrative. Kaaren's apartment was assessed at $750,000, but she refused to budge, and, in 1998, a court ruled that Trump could turn the apartments into condos, but had to allow the rent-controlled tenants to remain. She was, therefore, given $750,000 compensation. Death
On August 27, 2004, Kaaren died from pneumonia at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, New Jersey, aged 92. References

In 2019, Carlyle successfully prime sponsored comprehensive clean energy legislation, SB 5116, to require all electric utilities in Washington to transition to a 100-percent, carbon-neutral electricity supply by 2030 and to 100-percent carbon-free electricity by 2045. The bill was a cornerstone of Gov. Jay Inslee's climate agenda. In 2018, Carlyle sponsored major carbon pricing legislation at the request of Gov. Jay Inslee. The bill, which would have established a carbon tax in Washington, was adopted by two committees before failing to receive a final vote on the Senate floor.In 2018, he was one of only seven senators to vote against the Legislature's public records bill that was ultimately vetoed by Gov. Jay Inslee following a public outcry by the state's media and the public. Carlyle's legislative priorities have been centered around budget policy and tax transparency, foster youth, higher education, energy and environmental priorities. In 2007, prior to his election, Carlyle authored the Passport to College Promise Program which was ultimately created by the Legislature. <mask> was first elected to the Washington House of Representatives in 2008, representing the 36th legislative district as a Democrat. He was appointed to the state Senate in 2016 to succeed veteran Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles who was elected in 2015 to the King County Council. During Carlyle's seven years in the House he focused on a range of policy areas including budget, tax, higher education, transportation, health care, open data and election issues.He sponsored major legislation to reform higher education finance and improve the educational success of foster youth. Carlyle has been the prime sponsor of legislation in each year to abolish the death penalty and replace the policy with life in prison without the possibility of parole. Carlyle has been a critic of efforts to expand coal and oil trains and exports throughout the Pacific Northwest. He has been a vocal legal and political opponent of initiative promoter Tim Eyman's efforts to alter the state constitution to require a supermajority to raise taxes. In 2013 <mask> was appointed chair of the House Finance Committee and as a budget writer. During his three years as Finance chair, Carlyle sponsored legislation to provide transparency into Washington's tax structure. He also passed major legislation to reinstate Washington's estate tax as well reform the state's telecommunications taxation.In the Finance role, he was a prime sponsor and a supporter of the accountability and transparency provisions of the Boeing tax package, widely considered the largest state tax incentive package in U.S. history. Carlyle was publicly critical of the abbreviated process of the special session. Carlyle was named in 2012 as "one of 12 legislators in the nation to watch" by Governing Magazine. He was named one of the most "tech savvy" legislators in the nation by GovTech. He was named by the progressive organization Fuse as a champion of tax reform.

<mask>,  (30 October 1909 – 24 January 1966) was an Indian nuclear physicist, founding director, and professor of physics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). Colloquially known as "Father of the Indian nuclear programme", <mask> was also the founding director of the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay (AEET) which is now named the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in his honour. TIFR and AEET were the cornerstone of Indian development of nuclear weapons which <mask> also supervised as director. <mask> was awarded the Adams Prize (1942) and Padma Bhushan (1954). He was also nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1951 and 1953–1956. Early life and education

<mask> was born into a prominent wealthy Parsi family, through which he was related to businessmen Dinshaw Maneckji Petit, and Dorabji Tata. He was born on 30 October 1909.His father was <mask> Hormusji <mask>, a well known Parsi lawyer and his mother was Meheren. He received his early studies at Bombay's Cathedral and John Connon School and entered Elphinstone College at age 15 after passing his Senior Cambridge Examination with Honours. He then attended the Royal Institute of Science in 1927 before joining Caius College of Cambridge University. This was due to the insistence of his father and his uncle Dorabji, who planned for Bhabha to obtain a degree in mechanical engineering from Cambridge and then return to India, where he would join the Tata Steel or Tata Steel Mills in Jamshedpur as a metallurgist. Further studies
<mask>'s father understood his son's predicament, and he along with his wife agreed to finance his studies in mathematics provided that he obtain first class on his Mechanical Sciences Tripos exam. <mask> sat the Tripos exam in June 1930 and passed with first class honours. Meanwhile, he worked at the Cavendish Laboratory while working towards his PhD degree in theoretical physics.At the time, the laboratory was the centre of a number of scientific breakthroughs. <mask> had discovered the neutron, <mask> and Ernest Walton transmuted lithium with high-energy protons, and Patrick Blackett and Giuseppe Occhialini used cloud chambers to demonstrate the production of electron pairs and showers by gamma radiation. During the 1931–1932 academic year, <mask> was awarded the Salomons Studentship in Engineering. In 1932, he obtained his first-class on his Mathematical Tripos and was awarded the Rouse Ball travelling studentship in mathematics. During this time, nuclear physics was attracting the greatest minds and it was one of the most significant emerging fields as compared to theoretical physics, the opposition towards theoretical physics attacked the field because it was lenient towards theories rather than proving natural phenomenon through experiments. Conducting experiments on particles which also released the enormous amounts of radiation, it was a lifelong passion of Bhabha, and his leading-edge research and experiments brought great laurels to Indian physicists who particularly switched their fields to the nuclear physics, one of the most notable being Piara Singh Gill. Work in nuclear physics

In January 1933, <mask> received his doctorate in nuclear physics after publishing his first scientific paper, "The Absorption of Cosmic radiation".In the , Bhabha offered an explanation of the absorption features and electron shower production in cosmic rays. The paper helped him win the Isaac Newton Studentship in 1934, which he held for the next three years. The following year, he completed his doctoral studies in theoretical physics under Ralph H. Fowler. During his studentship, he split his time working at Cambridge and with Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. In 1935, <mask> published a paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Series A, in which he performed the first calculation to determine the cross section of electron-positron scattering. Electron-positron scattering was later named Bhabha scattering, in honour of his contributions in the field. In 1936, with Walter Heitler, he co-authored a paper, "The Passage of Fast Electrons and the Theory of Cosmic Showers" in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Series A, in which they used their theory to describe how primary cosmic rays from outer space interact with the upper atmosphere to produce particles observed at the ground level.<mask> and Heitler then made numerical estimates of the number of electrons in the cascade process at different altitudes for different electron initiation energies. The calculations agreed with the experimental observations of cosmic ray showers made by Bruno Rossi and Pierre Victor Auger a few years before. <mask> later concluded that observations of the properties of such particles would lead to the straightforward experimental verification of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. In 1937, <mask> was awarded the Senior Studentship of the 1851 exhibition, which helped him continue his work at Cambridge until the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Return to India

In September 1939, <mask> was in India for a brief holiday when World War II started, and he decided not to return to England for the time being. He accepted an offer to serve as the Reader in the Physics Department of the Indian Institute of Science, then headed by renowned physicist C. V. Raman. He received a special research grant from the Sir Dorab Tata Trust, which he used to establish the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at the Institute.Bhabha selected a few students, including Harish-Chandra, to work with him. Later, on 20 March 1941, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. With the help of J. R. D. Tata, he played an instrumental role in the establishment of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai. Career
Starting his nuclear physics career in Britain, <mask> had returned to India for his annual vacation before the start of World War II in September 1939. War prompted him to remain in India and he accepted a post of reader in physics at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, headed by Nobel laureate C.V. Raman. During this time, <mask> played a key role in convincing the Congress Party's senior leaders, most notably <mask> Nehru who later served as India's first Prime Minister, to start the ambitious nuclear programme. As part of this vision, <mask> established the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at the Institute, began to work on the theory of point particles movement, while independently conducting research on nuclear weapons in 1944.In 1945, he established the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bombay, and the Atomic Energy Commission in 1948, serving as its first chairman. In 1948, Nehru led the appointment of <mask> as the director of the nuclear program and tasked Bhabha to develop the nuclear weapons soon after. In the 1950s, <mask> represented India in IAEA conferences, and served as President of the United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva, Switzerland in 1955. During this time, he intensified his lobbying for the development of nuclear weapons. Soon after the Sino-Indo war, <mask> aggressively and publicly began to call for the nuclear weapons. <mask> gained international prominence after deriving a correct expression for the probability of scattering positrons by electrons, a process now known as Bhabha scattering. His major contribution included his work on Compton scattering, R-process, and furthermore the advancement of nuclear physics.He was awarded Padma Bhushan by Government of India in 1954. He later served as the member of the Indian Cabinet's Scientific Advisory Committee and provided the pivotal role to Vikram Sarabhai to set up the Indian National Committee for Space Research. In January 1966, <mask> died in a plane crash near Mont Blanc, while heading to Vienna, Austria to attend a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's Scientific Advisory Committee. Atomic energy in India

When <mask> <mask> <mask> was working at the India Institute of Science, there was no institute in India which had the necessary facilities for original work in nuclear physics, cosmic rays, high energy physics, and other frontiers of knowledge in physics. This prompted him to send a proposal in March 1944 to the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust for establishing 'a vigorous school of research in fundamental physics'. In his proposal he wrote:

The trustees of Sir Dorabji <mask>, Tata Trust, decided to accept Bhabha's proposal and financial responsibility for starting the Institute in April 1944. Bombay was chosen as the location as the Government of Bombay showed interest in becoming a joint founder of the proposed institute.The institute, named Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, was inaugurated in 1945 in 540 square meters of hired space in an existing building. In 1948 the Institute was moved into the old buildings of the Royal Yacht club. When <mask> realised that technology development for the atomic energy programme could no longer be carried out within TIFR he proposed to the government to build a new laboratory entirely devoted to this purpose. For this purpose, 1200 acres of land was acquired at Trombay from the Bombay Government. Thus the Atomic Energy Establishment Trombay (AEET) started functioning in 1954. The same year the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) was also established. He represented India in International Atomic Energy Forums, and as President of the United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, in Geneva, Switzerland in 1955.He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1958. Nuclear power programme
<mask> is generally acknowledged as the father of Indian nuclear power. Moreover, he is credited with formulating a strategy of focussing on extracting power from the country's vast thorium reserves rather than its meagre uranium reserves. This thorium focused strategy was in marked contrast to all other countries in the world. The approach proposed by Bhabha to achieve this strategic objective became India's three stage nuclear power programme. Bhabha paraphrased the three-stage approach as follows:

Death
Bhabha died when Air India Flight 101 crashed near Mont Blanc on 24 January 1966. Misunderstanding between Geneva Airport and the pilot about the aircraft position near the mountain is the official reason of the crash.Assassination theories
Many possible theories have been advanced for the air crash, including a claim the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in order to paralyse India's nuclear program. An Indian diplomatic bag containing calendars and a personal letter was recovered near the crash site in 2012. Gregory Douglas, a journalist who conducted telephone conversations with former CIA operative Robert Crowley for four years, published a book called Conversations with the Crow. Douglas claims that Crowley implied the CIA was responsible for assassinating <mask> <mask>. Crowley reportedly said that a bomb in the cargo section of the plane exploded mid-air, bringing down the commercial Boeing 707 airliner in Alps with few traces, describing it as "an unfortunate accident". Legacy

After his death, the Atomic Energy Establishment at Mumbai was renamed as the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in his honour. In addition to being an able scientist and administrator, <mask> was also a painter and a classical music and opera enthusiast, besides being an amateur botanist.He is one of the most prominent scientists that India has ever had. Bhabha also encouraged research in electronics, space science, radio astronomy and microbiology. The famed radio telescope in Ooty, India was his initiative, and it became a reality in 1970. The Homi Bhabha Fellowship Council has been giving Homi Bhabha Fellowships since 1967. Other noted institutions in his name are the Homi Bhabha National Institute, an Indian deemed university and the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, Mumbai, India. At <mask>'s death, his estate including Mehrangir, the sprawling colonial bungalow at Malabar Hill where he spent most of his life, was inherited by his brother <mask> <mask>. <mask>, an avid patron of arts and culture, bequeathed the bungalow and its contents to the National Centre for the Performing Arts, which auctioned the property for Rs 372 crores in 2014 to raise funds for upkeep and development of the centre.The bungalow was demolished in June 2016 by the owner, Smita-Crishna Godrej of the Godrej family, despite some efforts to have it preserved as a memorial to <mask> <mask>.

<mask> (born <mask> on January 17, 1943) is an American guitarist and vocalist, whose stylistic approach has ranged from rock & roll to pop standards and Latin music. His rock sound is exemplified in songs such as his 1962 hit "Let's Dance", which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. When his early music's popularity began to fade, he switched to a more traditional role as a popular singer of soft ballads, scoring hits with “The More I See You” and “Call Me" in 1966. He has also recorded in Latin styles. Over the intervening years, he has continued to work in all three modes. Early life
Born in Los Angeles, California, United States, <mask> grew up in Hawthorne, California, in a Mexican-American family and was influenced by the Latino-flavored music of his community and the success of Ritchie Valens.He studied music composition at El Camino College. In 1962, he recorded the single "Let's Dance" on Monogram Records (written and produced by Jim Lee). It went to No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US and to No.2 on the UK Singles Chart (spending four weeks there). The follow-up, "Some Kinda Fun", was a lesser hit in the US, but reached No. 10 in the UK in January 1963. Nonetheless, both records sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs. Montez toured with Clyde McPhatter, Sam Cooke, The Platters, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.The Beatles opened London, York and Northampton concerts for him while Montez was performing with Tommy Roe. Montez commented "Who are these guys The Beatles? I try to keep up with the British scene, but I don't know their work." 1966 comeback
<mask> returned to the recording studio in 1965, this time at A&M Records. Montez was searching for the same rock and roll formula that would replicate the success of "Let's Dance". During a recording session, A&M co-founder Herb Alpert (who co-produced <mask>'s first A&M album) suggested that Montez try a different approach: a middle of the road, soft ballad sound. Though reluctant at first, Montez agreed to go along with his mentor's suggestion."Call Me" (a Tony Hatch composition first recorded by Petula Clark) was the first single released from his 1966 A&M album, The More I See You. The title single from the album, sung in a soft, very high tenor range and played on primarily adult-formatted radio stations, confused some disc jockeys, who were unfamiliar with <mask>'s past work. The track became popular and has been used many times in movies, notably Frantic, starring Harrison Ford. Released in November 1965, "Call Me" entered the Easy Listening Top 40 in Billboard that December, entering the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1966; that March "Call Me" peaked on the Easy Listening chart at No. 2 and on the Hot 100 at No. 22. The More I See You album yielded two additional Top 40 singles for Montez:  the title track, plus "There Will Never Be Another You".Later years
Montez recorded three more albums for A&M: Time After Time, Foolin' Around, and Watch What Happens. None of these albums mirrored the success of The More I See You. The title track "Time After Time", did reach No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100, but no other singles made the top 40. Subsequent singles hit below the top 40, or only on the Billboard Easy Listening Top 40. Following the release of Watch What Happens in 1968, <mask> left A&M Records. In November 1972, <mask> charted a Latin hit in Brazil: "Loco Por Ti (Crazy About You)".<mask> resurfaced in 1974 at CBS Records, with the release of The Best of <mask>z, a mix of both old and new recordings. Montez recorded one more album for CBS: Raza: Ay No Digas, which did well internationally, but failed to make an impact in the US. His final album, with exclusively Spanish-language material, was Cartas de Amor, released on the independent label AYM in 1983. "Let's Dance" appeared on the soundtrack of John Landis's Animal House. In 2013, the song was used as a jingle for a DSW Shoe Warehouse commercial. Montez today
In July 2008, Frozen Pictures announced plans to produce a documentary musical film on <mask>'s life and career. The film, El Viaje Musical de Ezekiel Montanez: The <mask> Story, was previewed by Montez, director Burt Kearns and producer Brett Hudson at the Paso Robles Digital Film Festival in Paso Robles, California in November 2009, The Fest For Beatles Fans in March 2010 in Secaucus, New Jersey and, in May 2010, at the Pacific Palisades Film Festival in Pacific Palisades, California.<mask> has worked within the Mexican-American communities in the US, especially his native California, promoting education and healthy living. His work was recognized in San Antonio, Texas, on September 16, 2011, with the First Annual SOPA (Stop Obesity Promote Activity) Wellness Award. It was among four awards given to national celebrities. In 2012, <mask> was named a distinguished alumnus of El Camino College. Discography

<mask> (8 September 1908 – 6 February 1991) was an eminent engineer in Mysore, India. He made valuable contributions to the engineering profession during the 1940s and 1950s through his innovative methods and original designs. Childhood and education
<mask> was the eldest child of <mask> and Janakamma. He had three younger sisters and two younger brothers. At age 18, he married 12-year-old Indiramma Srinivasa Iyengar of Kollegal. In 1927, when Iyengar was an engineering student, his father died from complications of carbuncle surgery. At this young age, he became the head of the family, and at the same time pursued the higher education that would lead to his accomplished career.In 1931, he obtained a degree in Engineering from the University of Mysore with a record of high academic achievement. Career
After graduation, he started his career at the Bangalore Public Water Works Department in Malleswaram. Shortly after, he acquired a contract for a house renovation project which resulted in a substantial profit. After these and other initial successes, he formed the Mysore Engineering Company (MEC) with his college friends K.S<mask> (another engineer and also a maternal uncle), who acted in liaison and accounting capacities, and Thirumalachar, who undertook tasks of execution and project management, with <mask> Iyengar managing design aspects. The MEC specialised in architecture and design, and construction. In 1939, partly as a result of the impending World War II, the government Military Engineering Services (MES) wanted to construct prisoners' barracks and other civic amenities at Jalahalli, now a subdivision of Bangalore.The MES sought engineers and awarded numerous contracts to Iyengar's group. The facilities were completed and ready for occupation ahead of schedule. This resulted in additional contracts and further successes for the MEC, such as a contract to build the Hospital Town in Jalahalli; this work was also completed in a record time. In 1940, after the MEC experienced further growth, <mask> <mask> moved to Mysore, taking residence with his family in Vontikoppal. The MEC was charged with the construction of many water tanks for the military with a stipulation that completion of each project would be within one month. The MEC also built many water treatment plants for the army in Mysore state and the Madras presidency. This work of <mask> <mask>, <mask>swamy and Thirumalachar was appreciated by the government and the Dewan, Sir Mirza Ismail.The MEC had developed a reputation for performing high-quality work at very reasonable costs. Important treatment plants were at Tambaram, Udumulpet, Arkonam, and Thondebhavi. The Dewan's administration awarded the MEC contracts for other hospitals and various public buildings. Through this, the MEC would construct the Victoria Mental Hospital in Bangalore and the Cheluvamba hospital for Women in Mysore, the General Post Office building in Mysore, cinemas (e.g. the Lakshmi Ranjit in Mysore and the Bramaramba in Chamarajanagar), and bank buildings (e.g., the Bank of Mysore (now the State Bank of Mysore) headquarters in Mysore). About 1946, the MEC constructed the Bank of Mysore Building in Madras (now Chennai); a substantial portion of the profit from this venture was returned to the bank. In 1946, the MEC was involved in the construction of the power plant for the Munnar hill station in present-day Kerala.From 1944 to 1948 the MEC constructed numerous structures for the Mysore Steel Works, and cement and paper mills in Bhadravati (now in Karnataka). <mask> <mask> also designed silos for these projects. From 1948 to 1950, he designed and constructed numerous large ground-level water reservoirs in Bangalore and Mysore (e.g. at Malleswaram and Yadavagiri in Mysore). <mask> <mask>'s firm designed and constructed overhead tanks, in present-day Kerala, Pune and Uttar Pradesh. Later, the MEC also constructed schools for rural education in Muddahalli) and Nanjangud. In his tenure as Dewan of Mysore, Mirza Ismail was tasked with improving the state's infrastructure, and he was impressed with Iyengar's vision of using the Kaveri river's water basin for irrigation.In 1953, answering a government request, <mask> <mask> prepared a comprehensive proposal for Kaveri water basin irrigation projects (for irrigation not covered by a 1924 agreement, which imposed restrictions on State of Mysore for utilisation of major rivers of the Kaveri basin). This was submitted to the Mysore state government, which would later undertake many of these projects in the 1960s. From 1956 to 1959 The Mysore Engineering Company constructed the colossal Karnataka University in Dharwar. In this project, cost overruns resulted from demands to make the exterior of buildings veneered with polished granite: the slabs had to be obtained from the Doddaballapur quarry. The company was not reimbursed for this extra cost due to a lack of political influence with the government. The MEC incurred a severe financial loss and would thereafter be closed. <mask> <mask> and his partners would later form the Associated Mysore Engineering Company (AMEC) around 1958.By 1958, <mask> <mask>'s engineering enterprise had otherwise achieved great success. With his partners, he formed another company, Mysore Concrete Construction (MCC), which, starting in 1961 would design and construct a reinforced concrete construction (RCC) power channel for the Sharavati Hydroelectric Project. This was then the biggest hydroelectric project undertaken in Karnataka. The state government invited bids to build water conductor systems, and bids were returned from numerous construction firms, including some in the United States and the United Kingdom. After studying the requirements for this project Iyengar designed the system and his design was adopted, at considerable savings to the state. The power channel, which extends from the Sharavathi river's Linganamakki Dam to the Penstock entry point to feed 9 turbines, is lengthy and also covered at many places. Iynegar's economical management and design skills earned the MCC large successes, as well as a good reputation with other engineers.The channel was completed in three years, in 1964. In 1961, the University of Mysore invited tenders for design and construction of a campus at Manasagangotri. The MCC won this contract and the work was sublet to the AMEC (then a partner company). <mask> <mask>'s son, B<mask>, designed the complex under his father's guidance. The project was successfully completed on time and budget, and the university (particularly the Registrar, Nickam) commended the work. The campus, on Hunsur Road facing the picturesque Kukkarahalli lake, remains today a scenic locale, sometimes used for Kannada film shoots. As an engineering designer, <mask> <mask> made various innovations.For example, for Indian Telephone Industries (ITI), he planned large factories using RCC structures, such as arches supported on cantilevered column support: he designed columns safe from arch reaction by using specially designed column footing that would neutralise soil reaction. In 1958, he designed a shell roof for ITI as part of a large factory construction. Between 1950 and 1956, his firm designed and constructed three cinema theatres with RCC trusses in lieu of the standard structural steel frame, given a shortage of structural steel in India. During this period, Iyengar formed an additional engineering company, the United Engineering Corporation. As director, he designed aircraft hangars made of RCC girders, and not of steel, as was common practice. In the 1950s, Iyengar would become a founding partner of an additional company Mysore Chip Boards. After a gradual retirement, in the late 1960s, <mask> <mask> helped his sons to form Bharat Engineering Corporation, and would act as an adviser and managing director of that company.The first big project for this company was construction of a novel pedestrian subway at the KR market in Bengaluru Pete in 1967. Under his guidance, his sons would undertake the construction of large water treatment plants from 1962 to 1978. <mask> <mask> was one of the earliest fellows of the Institution of Engineers and chairman of the Institution's Mysore Local Centre in 1966–67. He was a co-founder of the National Institute of Engineering and member of its Governing Council. The NIE maintains an endowed scholarship  in his memory, awarded to the student with the highest cumulative marks through all semesters. Personal life
<mask> <mask> and his wife, Indiramma <mask>, had five sons—B.K<mask> (born 1934), B.J.Srinivas (1938), B<mask> (1940), M. J. Krishnamurthy (1942) and M. J. Prakash (1944)--and two daughters: J<mask> (wife of K. K. Srinivasan; 1936) and J. Lavanya, born in 1950. They had fifteen grandchildren. He had a major heart attack in 1973. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the late 1970s, which was progressively debilitating. He died as a result of pneumonia on 6 February 1991. References

<mask>. (August 23, 1724 – June 30, 1796) was an American lawyer, civil servant, and pamphleteer from Albany, New York. Early life
<mask> was born on August 23, 1724, in Albany, New York. He was the ninth child born to <mask>, a prosperous farmer and blacksmith, and Catelyntje Winne. His siblings included <mask>, a merchant, and John G<mask>, a blacksmith. His paternal grandparents were <mask> and Albany native Huybertie (née Marselis) <mask>. His nephew, <mask>, who represented New York at the Philadelphia Convention. Another nephew was Continental Congressman <mask>.Career
After completing preparatory school, <mask> was apprenticed to a shoemaker, which later led his political foes to call him a "crude cobbler" and Philip Schuyler to deride him as the "late cobbler of laws and old shoes". An ambitious man, he went on to become a surveyor, investing in land, and then studied law with Peter Silvester, setting up a successful law practice. Eventually, <mask> was appointed the Sheriff of Albany, serving from 1754 until 1759 under the agency of Robert Livingston Jr.

From 1754 until 1773, he was elected and served on the Albany City Council where he was closely associated with the populist George Clinton (who eventually became the Vice President of the United States). <mask>' election was notable as the council was generally made up of wealthy merchants and he was the sole lawyer among the group, and was known for his attacks against the patrician landowners of the era and support for small farmers. He was also known to be a forceful opponent of British oppression. From 1774 to 1776, he was the chairman of the Albany Committee of Correspondence. <mask> was also a member of the New York Provincial Congress from 1775 to 1777, serving as president pro tempore on November 2, 1775, August 10, 1776, and was its chairman in 1776 and 1777.<mask> was a delegate for New York to the Congress of the Confederation in 1787 and 1788, and won a reputation as a "churlish delegate who often cast the only 'nay'" vote. <mask> was the solitary vote against the Northwest Ordinance for its gross violation of Native American rights. He argued against "the seizing on countries already peopled, and driving out or massacring the innocent and defenceless natives, merely because they differed from their invaders in language, religion, in customs, in government or in colour." He was also a member of the Council of Appointment in 1777–78 and again in 1784. New York State Senate
Commencing on September 9, 1777, <mask> was a member of the 1st New York State Legislature, having been elected to represent one of six seats for the Western District, which consisted of Albany and Tryon counties. He was re-elected several times and served thirteen consecutive sessions in the Senate until he declined re-election following his refusal to sign an oath to the U.S. Constitution. He was succeeded by Stephen Van Rensselaer.By the end of his time in the Senate, the Western District consisted of Albany, Columbia and Montgomery counties. <mask>, along with his fellow Anti-Federalist nephew Robert, with whom he shared the pen-name the "Rough Hewer", was a prolific pamphleteer. He was known for his strong Anti-Federalist writings around the encroachment of Federal powers over New York state affairs and his opposition to the ratification of the Constitution. Both <mask> were prominent opponents of the nationalist Federalist Alexander Hamilton. Mayor of Albany
Following his retirement from the State Senate, <mask> old friend and the then New York Governor George Clinton appointed him as the mayor of Albany in 1790, a role he served in until his death in 1796. As mayor, <mask> opposed and was a vocal critic of the Federalist John Jay (who succeeded Clinton as Governor and appointed Stephen Van Rensselaer as his Lt. Governor) following the Jay Treaty, which was a 1795 treaty between the U.S. and Great Britain which purportedly averted war between the countries and resolved issues remaining since the Treaty of Paris of 1783 (which ended the American Revolutionary War).The opposition led to the formation of the anti-Treaty Democratic Republican party in New York. During his term, oil street lamps were installed in Albany. <mask> was a presidential elector in 1792, and cast his votes for George Washington and George Clinton. In 1795, <mask> was also a founding trustee of Union College. Personal life
In 1746, <mask> was married to Antje De Ridder (1726–1795), the daughter of Cornelis De Ridder and Susanna (née Vandenbergh) De Ridder. Together, they were the parents of five children, Christoffel, another Christoffel, Tanneke, Cornelis, only one of whom survived to adulthood:
 Susanna <mask> (1762–1840), who married New York State Treasurer <mask>. Lansing, the brother of Chancellor John Lansing Jr. They lived in a house built by his <mask> at what became 358 North Market Street in Albany.<mask> died in Albany on June 30, 1796, and was buried at Albany Rural Cemetery. Descendants
Through his only surviving child Susanna, he was the grandfather of fourteen, including: Jannetje, who died unmarried; <mask>, who died young; Gerrit <mask>, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives who married Helen Ten Eyck (daughter of <mask> Eyck); Cornelius De Ridder; John, who died unmarried; Antje, who died young; Sanders Jr., who married Angelica Schuyler; <mask>, who married Caroline Mary Thomas; Anna, who married Rev. Walter Monteath; Sarah B., who died unmarried; Susan, who married Peter Gansevoort; Barent Bleecker, who married Philanda Orcutt; George, married Harriet Schermerhorn (daughter of John F. Schermerhorn). and <mask>, who married Eliza Van Alstyne. References

<mask> (1906–1981), also known by name <mask>ha, was an indigenenous Baptist missionary from the North-Eastern state of India, Nagaland. He was a missionary to the Konyak people and a peacemaker. He is known to have risked his life to restore peace in Nagaland, and to negotiate a ceasefire agreement between the Government of India and underground leaders fighting for Nagaland secession from India. He is best remembered for his contributions to the peace movement in Nagaland as a church leader, for his role in establishing the controversial Peace Mission, later renamed Nagaland Peace Council (NPC), for which he was the president until death and most importantly for bringing a temporary stop to conflicts through Shillong Accord of 1975- by making naga insurgents to accept the Constitution of India. He was the founder of Naga-Gospel outreach mission, and was honoured with the title of Man of Peace by Government of Nagaland. Early life
<mask> was born in Changki village, Nagaland, India, and was educated in theology. He was married to Subokyimia, daughter of Baptist pastor Subongwati, in 1932, and they had three sons and three daughters.Evangelism
He graduated from Eastern Theological College in Jorhat, Assam, and taught at the same college for 16 years. He along with Subongwati, his father-in-law, formed the Tamlu Baptist church in 1933. He was appointed in 1950  as a missionary to evangelize the Konyak Naga people by the Council of Baptist Churches in Northeast India (CBCNEI). In July 1960, he visited United States to study advanced theology sponsored by the American Baptist Foreign Mission Societies (ABFMS) at Baptist Divinity School, Berkeley, California. From 1967, he served as an executive secretary of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC), and was leader of the newly founded Nagaland Missionary Movement (NMM) from 1979. Role in restoring peace in Nagaland
Longri, as a Church leader, with full cooperation from CBCNEI, NBCC, and ABFMS made sincere efforts in mediating between rebels and the government to carve out a ceasefire agreement, to make them come to the negotiation table for peace talks, and to reconcile to the authorities of the Constitution of India. Ceasefire agreement
With already ten years of violence and destruction in an internal war between guerrillas and the government and an escalation during the 1964 Nagaland General Elections, Baptist Church under the leadership and guidance of <mask> <mask> and Kenneth Kerhuo, intervened for peace and held its third convention at Wokha from 31 January 1964 to 2 February 1964.During the three-day convention, more than five thousand Nagas, who referred to <mask> <mask> as the Naga Prophet "crying in wilderness for peace"[sic], attended the convention. The convention made a resolution for proposed "Peace talk", and to requested the government to provide services of Jayaprakash Narayan, National leader; Bimala Prasad Chaliha, Chief Minister of Assam; and Michael Scott, an Anglican churchman, for exploring ways for speedy restoration of peace in Nagaland. Speaking at the convention, Longri said:Our paths are now stained with the blood of the innocent people. We do not know the way of peace. There is no fear of God in our heart...there seems no one who understands God and his righteous ways...The Nagas have been most unfaithful to a faithful God. They will, therefore, not go unpunished....

Based on the passed resolution, the Wokha convention appointed a special committee headed by <mask> <mask> and Kenneth Kerhuo to mediate between rebels and the government. They urged Jayaprakash Narayan, Bimala Prasad Chaliha, and Michael Scott  to end the shooting in the hills.The relentless efforts of Peace Mission backed by Church leaders like <mask> <mask> and  participation from both government and the rebel leaders, had resulted in a Ceasefire agreement signed by Vishnu Sahey,  Governor of Nagaland on behalf of the Government of India, while Zashei Huire, Biseto Medom, and L. Zhenito signed on behalf of the underground government. Although, the Ceasefire was officially declared on 6 September 1964, it was signed on 23 May 1964. The declaration of Ceasefire agreement enabled series of peace talks, eventually leading to six-rounds of talks in Delhi from 1966 to 1967 between Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, and the underground leaders. Peace talks
Though there were several rounds of talks starting from February 1966 between underground leaders led by Kughato Sukhai, Prime Minister of underground government, and Indira Gandhi, with final round of talks on 3 October 1967 held in New Delhi, yet it failed to reach a positive agreement. The failure to reach settlement with peace talks were followed by charges and countercharges by both Indian government and the insurgents leading to the breach of the terms of agreements; consequently, violence escalated to the extent of murder of a prominent underground leader "Kaito" on 3 August 1968. The insurgents retaliated back. In April 1971, State government authorities communicated in writing to <mask> <mask> that "to enable underground and overground leaders to have a free contact and parley for restoration of peace in Nagaland there will be no operations in search of arms/searching villages/arrests etc.for 15 days with effect from April 22, 1971 to May 6, 1971 in and around Kohima town and other areas like Dihoma, Phesama, Chedema, Meriema and Chiechama". On 8 August 1972, an ambush was laid to murder Hokishe Sema, Chief Minister of Nagaland, however, he escaped without major injuries. Government of India on 31 August 1972 banned (also called September ban) three underground groups - Naga National Council, Federal Government of Nagaland, and also the Naga Federal Army  using "Unlawful Activities Act 1967." Government of India also stopped the extension of Ceasefire agreement. With cessation of the ceasefire agreement, including almost dissolution of Peace Mission by 1972, <mask> <mask> and other church leaders formed Nagaland Peace Council (NPC) in 1974 with <mask> <mask> as its president till his death, and initiated the discussions and talks once again. The steps for peace talks initiated this time reached its climax with the promulgation of Indira Gandhi's Emergency in 1975, as Shillong Accord of 1975. Shillong Accord of 1975
With the imposition of Indira Gandhi's National Emergency in India after the President's rule in Nagaland by May 1975 that gave free hand to security forces to deal with the rebels, insurgents, political opponents, and alike, a spate of surrenders, including unquestionable violence took place in Nagaland.The church leaders took steps to broker a peace between underground leaders and Government of India to restore peace and as a result, a liaison committee under NPC was formed. <mask> being the president of NPC, took initiative playing major role to mediate between Government of India and underground leaders like Kevi Yalie, brother of Angami Zapu Phizo, to resolve the Naga issue forever. <mask> was a member of the liaison Committee that also included prominent leaders like Kenneth Kerhuo, L. Lungalang, M. Aram, Neiliezhü Üsou and Lungshim Shaiza that held discussions with underground leaders; consequently, underground leaders decided to send six representatives with full authority to negotiate with the representatives of the government for establishing peace in Nagaland. Under his leadership, NPC was largely responsible for bringing an end to the major hostilities through the Shillong Accord of 1975 during President's rule in Nagaland. He held discussions with the underground leaders who were by then brought to the Chedema peace camp under "safe conduct arrangements." Since both the parties were desperate and determined to bring an end to the conflict and bring some sort of solution, a three-point agreement was concluded, to be known as Shillong Accord - to surrender the arms [deposit at places to be settled later], accept the supremacy of the Constitution of India, and formulate other issues for final agreement. Shillong Accord was finally accepted on 5 December 1975, apparently opening a new political history in Nagaland bringing peace.Shillong Accord of 1975, however, was bluntly rejected by Isak Swu and Muivah, who were demanding not less than unquestionable sovereignty; thus, National Socialist Council of Nagaland(NSCN) was formed by Isak Swu and Muivah to fight for their sovereignty demand. <mask> also took steps to initiate dialogues with NSCN and government. He died on  6 August 1981. Awards
