 during this period that the bonds between Quanah <mask> and the Burnett family grew strong. Burnett ran 10,000 cattle until the end of the lease in 1902. The cattle baron had a strong feeling for Native American rights, and his respect for them was genuine. Where other cattle kings fought natives and the harsh land to build empires, Burnett learned Comanche ways, passing both the love of the land and his friendship with the natives to his family. As a sign of their regard for Burnett, the Comanches gave him a name in their own language: Mas-sa-suta, meaning "Big Boss".<mask> <mask> earned the respect of US governmental leaders as he adapted to the white man's life and became a prosperous rancher in Oklahoma. His spacious, two-story Star House had a bedroom for each of his seven wives and their children. He had his own private quarters, which were rather plain. Beside his bed were photographs of his mother Cynthia Ann <mask> and younger sister Topʉsana. <mask> <mask> extended hospitality to many influential people, both Native American and European American. Among the latter were the Texas surveyor W. D. Twichell and the cattleman Charles Goodnight. Of all his white acquaintances, <mask> <mask> counted Burk Burnett the best.He reportedly said: "I got one good friend, Burk Burnett, he big-hearted, rich cowman. Help my people good deal. You see big man hold tight to money, afraid to die. Burnett helped anybody." During the next 27 years <mask> <mask> and the Burnetts shared many experiences. Burnett helped by contributing money for the construction of Star House, Quanah <mask>'s large frame home. Burnett asked for (and received) <mask> <mask>'s participation in a parade with a large group of warriors at the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and other public events.The "Parade" lance depicted in the exhibit was usually carried by <mask> <mask> at such public gatherings. Burnett assisted <mask> <mask> in buying the granite headstones used to mark the graves of his mother and sister. After years of searching, <mask> <mask> had their remains moved from Texas and reinterred in 1910 in Oklahoma on the Comanche reservation at Fort Sill. According to his daughter "Wanada" <mask>, her father helped celebrate President Theodore Roosevelt's 1905 inauguration by appearing in the parade. In April 1905, Roosevelt visited <mask> <mask> at the Star House. President Roosevelt and <mask> <mask> went wolf hunting together with Burnett near Frederick, Oklahoma. During the occasion, the two discussed serious business.<mask> <mask> wanted the tribe to retain ownership of  that the government planned to sell off to homesteaders, an argument he eventually lost. <mask> <mask> asked for help combating unemployment among his people and later received a letter from the President stating his own concern about the issue. The wolf hunt was believed to be one of the reasons that Roosevelt created the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Marriage and family

<mask> <mask> took two wives in 1872 according to <mask>, one of <mask> <mask>'s sons. His first wife was Ta-ho-yea (or Tohayea), the daughter of Mescalero Apache chief Old Wolf. He had wed her in Mescalero by visiting his Apache allies since the 1860s and had got her for five mules. After a year of marriage and a visit of Mescalero Apache in the Quohada camps, Ta-ho-yea asked to return home citing as her reason her inability to learn the Comanche language.<mask> <mask> sent her back to her people. <mask> <mask>'s other wife in 1872 was Wec-Keah or Weakeah, daughter of Penateka Comanche subchief Yellow Bear (sometimes Old Bear). Although first espoused to another warrior, she and <mask> <mask> eloped, and took several other warriors with them. Yellow Bear pursued the band and eventually <mask> <mask> made peace with him. The two bands united, forming the largest force of Comanche Indians. Over the years, <mask> <mask> married six more wives: Chony, Mah-Chetta-Wookey, Ah-Uh-Wuth-Takum, Coby, Toe-Pay, and Tonarcy. A photograph, , by William B. Ellis of <mask> <mask> and two of his wives identified them as Topay and Chonie.<mask> <mask> had eight wives and twenty-five children (some of whom were adopted). After moving to the reservation, <mask> <mask> got in touch with his white relatives from his mother's family. He stayed for a few weeks with them, where he studied English and Western culture, and learned white farming techniques. Founder of the Native American Church Movement
<mask> <mask> is credited as one of the first important leaders of the Native American Church movement. <mask> <mask> adopted the peyote religion after having been gored in southern Texas by a bull. <mask> was visiting his uncle, <mask>, in Texas where he was attacked, giving him severe wounds. To fight an onset of blood burning fever, a Mexican curandera was summoned and she prepared a strong peyote tea from fresh peyote to heal him.Thereafter, <mask> <mask> became involved with peyote, which contains hordenine, mescaline or phenylethylamine alkaloids, and tyramine which act as natural antibiotics when taken in a combined form. Clinical studies indicate that peyocactin, a water-soluble crystalline substance separated from an ethanol extract of the plant, proved an effective antibiotic against 18 strains of penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, several other bacteria, and a fungus. <mask> <mask> taught that the sacred peyote medicine was the sacrament given to the Indian peoples and was to be used with water when taking communion in a traditional Native American Church medicine ceremony. <mask> <mask> was a proponent of the "half-moon" style of the peyote ceremony. The "cross" ceremony later evolved in Oklahoma because of Caddo influences introduced by John Wilson, a Caddo-Delaware religious leader who traveled extensively around the same time as <mask> during the early days of the Native American Church movement. <mask> <mask>'s most famous teaching regarding the spirituality of the Native American Church:

The White Man goes into his church house and talks about Jesus, but the Indian goes into his tipi and talks to Jesus. The modern reservation era in Native American history began with the adoption of the Native American Church and Christianity by nearly every Native American tribe and culture within the United States and Canada as a result of <mask> <mask> and Wilson's efforts.The peyote religion and the Native American Church were never the traditional religious practice of North American Indian cultures. This religion developed in the nineteenth century, inspired by events of the time being east and west of the Mississippi River, <mask> <mask>'s leadership, and influences from Native Americans of Mexico and other southern tribes. They had used peyote in spiritual practices since ancient times. He advocated only using mind-altering substances for ritual purposes. Death

At the age of 66, <mask> <mask> died on February 23, 1911, at Star House. In 1911, <mask> <mask>'s body was interred at Post Oak Mission Cemetery near Cache, Oklahoma. In 1957, his remains were moved to Fort Sill Post Cemetery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, along with his mother Cynthia Ann <mask> and sister Topsannah ("Prairie Flower").The inscription on his tombstone reads:

Biographer Bill Neeley wrote:
"Not only did Quanah pass within the span of a single lifetime from a Stone Age warrior to a statesman in the age of the Industrial Revolution, but he never lost a battle to the white man and he also accepted the challenge and responsibility of leading the whole Comanche tribe on the difficult road toward their new existence." Criticism
Although praised by many in his tribe as a preserver of their culture, <mask> <mask> also had Comanche critics. Some  claimed that he "sold out to the white man" by adapting and becoming a rancher. He dressed and lived in what some viewed as a more European-American than Comanche style. Critic Paul Chaat Smith called "Quanah <mask>: sellout or patriot?" the "basic Comanche political question". <mask> <mask> did adopt some European-American ways, but he always wore his hair long and in braids.He also refused to follow U.S. marriage laws and had up to eight wives at one time. <mask> <mask> was never elected principal chief of the tribe by the people. Traditionally, the Comanche had no single chief. The various bands of the Comanche had their own chiefs. The US appointed <mask> <mask> principal chief of the entire nation once the people had gathered on the reservation and later introduced general elections. Family Reunion
The Quanah Parker Society, based in Cache, Oklahoma, holds an annual family reunion and powwow. Events usually include a pilgrimage to sacred sites in Quanah, Texas; tour of his "Star Home" in Cache; dinner; memorial service at Fort Sill Post Cemetery; gourd dance, pow-wow, and worship services.This event is open to the public. Memorials and honors

 In 1970, the Star House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There is considerable historical background detail, and Quanah is portrayed in a sympathetic light. The 2008 miniseries Comanche Moon featured Quanah <mask> as a minor character, played by Eddie Spears. The actor Richard Angarola (1920-2008) was cast as Quanah <mask> in the 1959 episode, "Tribal Justice," of the syndicated television anthology series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Stanley Andrews.In the story line, <mask> <mask> before he became the Comanche chief must clear his name for causing the death of a fellow tribesman.

<mask> (May 21, 1907 in Homewood, Pennsylvania – March 22, 1997 in Los Angeles, California) was an American pioneer in the field of sound recording and re-recording. His career spanned more than five decades (1928–1980), during which he made substantial contributions to the evolution of the art and science of film and television sound. Career
In 1928, <mask><mask> was one of the first employees of the newly established company RCA Photophone. Initially, his job was to install and maintain film sound reproduction systems in movie theaters on the east coast of America, including Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Film sound recording and reproduction was a new medium at that time, and <mask>'s knowledge of radio made him a significant figure in the integration of sound into motion pictures. His employers sent him to the West Coast in 1929 to supervise theater installations. In 1930, <mask> joined RKO Pictures (then owned by RCA), working in their research and development department on a noise reduction system for optical film sound.When corporate interest in the project waned, he was able to move to RKO's production arm as a 'boom man', recording production sound (the "live sound" recorded at the same time as the picture). For the next several years, he participated in the making of some of Hollywood's earliest sound film classics, including A Bill of Divorcement (1932) and The Lost Patrol (1934). After working in the production phase of the filmmaking process for several years, <mask> switched to post-production. From 1933 to 1945, <mask> was Chief Re-recording Mixer at RKO, personally mixing hundreds of film soundtracks. The most celebrated aspect of <mask>'s work during this period is his collaboration with director Orson Welles, also with a background in radio. He worked closely with Welles on Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942). Both Welles and <mask> had tremendous insight into the creative use of narrative sound, and these films demonstrated the spectacular heights to which the cinematic arts can be taken.<mask> left RKO Studios in 1945, when he was hired by David O. Selznick. He was eventually appointed Head of Technical Operations for Selznick International Pictures and oversaw every aspect of production and post-production for such films as King Vidor's controversial Duel in the Sun (1946), Alfred Hitchcock's The Paradine Case (1947) and William Dieterle's Portrait of Jennie (1948). In an era when network television was beginning to challenge the film industry for audiences, <mask> worked for Glen Glenn Sound, where he stayed for the next 25 years. Early television post-production emphasized speed and efficiency over artistic innovation, and <mask>'s daily routine involved mixing two half-hour shows a day, five or six times the pace he had previously kept during the making of A-level films. Among the dozens of programs he worked on were I Love Lucy, The Jack Benny Show, The Real McCoys and The Andy Griffith Show. By the mid-1970s, <mask> had changed employer once more, this time to The Burbank Studios (owned by Warner Bros.), where he spent the last five years of his working life. During this time he worked on such films as Martin Ritt's The Front (1976) and Paul Schrader's Blue Collar (1978).In 1980, after a career of more than five decades in film and television, <mask> retired. Partial filmography
<mask> worked on over 250 films during his fifty years as a re-recording mixer. Among these were

Innovations
As a teenager, <mask> was involved in early experiments in commercial AM broadcast radio. While at RKO Studios, he participated in the production of the first three-strip Technicolor feature film, Becky Sharp (1935), made by RKO affiliate Pioneer Pictures. During his tenure at RKO, he also helped design the studio's first mixing console specifically built for film re-recording and to introduce electronic compression into film post-production. For the film Portrait of Jennie in the late 1940s, <mask> devised an early incarnation of multichannel 'surround sound' technology.Working primarily in television after 1950, <mask> helped usher in such technical advances as reversal ("rock and roll") re-recording.

<mask> ( usually ; born August 28, 1943) is a former professional baseball player and manager. An outfielder, he played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees. During his playing career, he was named AL Rookie of the Year in 1969 and captured two World Series championships with the Yankees (1977, 1978). Following his playing career, <mask> became a manager for the Yankees (1986–1988), Cincinnati Reds (1990–1992), Seattle Mariners (1993–2002), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2003–2005), and Chicago Cubs (2007–2010). He won the 1990 World Series championship with the Reds and led the Mariners to four postseason appearances in seven years (including a record 116-win regular season in 2001). He also captured back-to-back division titles (2007–2008) during his time with the Cubs. <mask> was named Manager of the Year three times during his career (1995, 2001, 2008) and finished his managerial career ranked 14th all time on the list of managerial wins.He was nicknamed "<mask>", both for his swing as a major league hitter and, facetiously, to describe his demeanor as a player and manager. Early life
<mask> was born in Tampa, Florida. Though he is often mistaken for being Italian American, <mask>'s parents were of Asturian descent, from northwest Spain. He grew up in West Tampa, and played American Legion baseball and PONY League baseball alongside fellow future major league manager Tony La Russa. <mask> attended Jesuit High School in Tampa, where he played several sports and was an All-American in basketball. After graduation in 1961, he attended the University of Tampa for a year, where he was a College Division (today's Division II) All-American in baseball for the Spartans. Playing career
<mask> was signed by the Cleveland Indians at age 18 as an amateur free agent on June 9, 1962.That fall, he was drafted by the Washington Senators from the Indians in the 1962 first year draft. In August , Piniella was sent to the Baltimore Orioles to complete an earlier trade for Buster Narum, and Piniella played in his first major league game that September with the Orioles at the age of 21. He also played 3 seasons with the Portland Beavers 1966-1968. Prior to the 1966 season, he was traded by the Orioles back to the Indians for Cam Carreon, and made his second major league appearance in September 1968 at age 25 with the Indians. In the middle part of the decade, Piniella played winter baseball in Nicaragua. <mask> was selected by the Seattle Pilots in the 1968 expansion draft in October, but was traded after spring training on April 1 to the Kansas City Royals for John Gelnar and Steve Whitaker. <mask> played for the Royals for their first five seasons (1969–1973) and was the American League's Rookie of the Year in 1969 and was named to the 1972 All-Star Game.He was the first batter in Royals history; on April 8 of their first season in 1969, he led off the bottom of the first inning against left-hander Tom Hall of the Minnesota Twins. <mask> doubled to left field, then scored on an RBI single by Jerry Adair. After the 1973 season, <mask> was traded by the Royals with Ken Wright to the New York Yankees for Lindy McDaniel. Baseball author Bill James called the trade the only clinker the Royals made during the 1970s. He played with the Yankees for 11 seasons, during which the Yankees won five AL East titles (1976–78, 1980, and 1981), four AL pennants (1976–78, and 1981), and two World Series championships (1977–78). In 1975, he missed part of the year with an inner ear infection. From mid-1977 through the end of 1980, he was the Yankees' regular outfielder/DH.In his career, Piniella made one All-Star team and compiled 1,705 lifetime hits despite not playing full-time for just under half of his career. He received 2 votes for the Hall of Fame as a player in 1990. Coaching and front office career

New York Yankees

After retiring as a player, Piniella joined the Yankees coaching staff as the hitting coach. He managed the Yankees from 1986 to 1987; promoted to general manager to start the 1988 season, he took over as manager after the firing of Billy Martin on June 23. His initial managerial contract for 1986 was for $200,000. Combining both stints as Yankees manager, he posted 224 wins and 193 losses. Cincinnati Reds

Hired in November 1989, Piniella managed the Cincinnati Reds from 1990 through 1992.In his first year, the Reds won the World Series in a four-game sweep of the heavily-favored Oakland Athletics, who were the defending champions. His three-year contract totaled over $1 million. Following his third season, he announced in October that he had rejected a contract extension. He finished with a record of 255 wins and 231 losses. Seattle Mariners
Under a new ownership group, <mask> was introduced as the new manager of the Mariners in November 1992, and led the Seattle Mariners for ten seasons (1993–2002). His wife Anita initially insisted he not take the position; they lived in New Jersey in Allendale, and she thought Seattle was too far away from their family and children, and spring training was in Arizona instead of Florida. His initial contract in Seattle was for $2.5 million over three years, significantly more than his predecessor, Bill Plummer, whose two-year deal totaled $500,000.On August 18, 1999, he won his 1,000th game (having managed 1,926 in total) in a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. <mask> won the AL Manager of the Year Award in 1995, and again in 2001, when he led the Mariners to a record-tying 116 wins. After winning the 2001 AL Division Series, the Mariners dropped the first two games of the AL Championship Series, and Piniella held an angry post-game press conference in which he guaranteed the Mariners would win two out of three games in New York to return the ALCS to Seattle. However, the Yankees closed out the series at Yankee Stadium, and the Mariners have not reached the playoffs since. Following the 2002 season, <mask> requested out of his final year with the Mariners to manage the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. As compensation, the Devil Rays traded outfielder Randy Winn to the Mariners for infield prospect Antonio Perez. Piniella finished with a record of 840 wins and 711 losses.All four of the Mariners' playoff appearances in team history were under Piniella. In 2014, Pinella was inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame on August 9. Piniella's Number 14, though not yet retired, had not been issued to any player or coach until 2016, when it was issued to new third base coach Manny Acta. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Piniella returned to the Tampa area in October 2002, taking over for a team that had just finished at  under Hal McRae. In his first two seasons with the Devil Rays, Piniella was able to improve the team somewhat, and they won a franchise-record 70 games in 2004. This was also the first season in which they did not finish last in their division. During the 2005 season, Piniella was critical of the Devil Rays' front office for focusing too much on the future and not enough on immediate results, and for not increasing payroll quickly enough to field a competitive team.The Devil Rays started the season with a $30 million payroll, which was the lowest in the major leagues; the Yankees payroll in 2005 was over $208 million. Tensions eventually made <mask> step down as the Devil Rays' manager on September 21. He finished with a record of 200 wins and 285 losses. He had a season remaining on his four-year $13 million contract from October 2002, but agreed to a $2.2 million buyout, in lieu of $4.4 million that he was due for a fourth season. He would have also received $1.25 million in deferred salary from 2003. Chicago Cubs
On October 16, , Piniella agreed to a three-year contract to manage the Chicago Cubs for $10 million with a $5 million option for a fourth year in 2010. Though <mask>'s Cubs won the Central Division in his first two years (2007–2008), and boasted the best record in the NL in 2008, the Cubs were swept in the postseason both years, first by the Arizona Diamondbacks and then the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2008 NLDS.<mask> was named NL Manager of the Year for 2008. In 2010, <mask> announced on July 20 his intention to retire as manager of the Cubs at season's end. However, on August 22, Piniella decided to resign after that day's game, stating that he wanted to care for his ailing 90-year-old mother. He finished with a record of 316 wins and 293 losses. San Francisco Giants
On February 2, 2011, Piniella was hired by the San Francisco Giants as a special consultant. He did not return to that position after the season. Return to Cincinnati Reds
On February 5, 2016, <mask> rejoined the Cincinnati Reds as a special consultant.Managerial record

Broadcasting career
In 1989, Piniella worked as a color analyst for Yankees telecasts on MSG Network. After parting ways with the Devil Rays in 2006, Piniella spent one season as an analyst for Fox Sports, joining Thom Brennaman and Steve Lyons in calling postseason baseball games. During their broadcast of Game 3 of the 2006 American League Championship Series, Piniella was commenting on player Marco Scutaro who had struggled during the regular season but was playing well during the series. He stated that to expect Scutaro to continue playing well would be similar to finding a wallet on Friday and expecting to find another wallet on Saturday and Sunday. Piniella then commented that player Frank Thomas needed to get "en fuego" which is Spanish for "on fire", because he was "frio" meaning "cold". Lyons responded by saying that Piniella was "hablaing  Español" and added, "I still can't find my wallet. I don't understand him, and I don't want to sit close to him now."Fox fired Lyons for making the above remarks, which they determined to be insensitive. <mask> later defended Lyons saying Lyons was "a man" and that "There isn't a racist bone in his [Lyons'] body. Not one. I've known the guy personally. He was kidding with me, nothing more and nothing less." On February 22, 2012, it was announced <mask> would join the YES Network as an analyst for Yankees games. He made his YES debut on March 4 during a Yankees-Phillies spring training game.He left the network after the season. Personal life
<mask> married his wife Anita (Garcia) in 1967, and together they have three children. <mask> suffered what was described as a "mini-stroke" in June 2017, but sufficiently recovered to resume his role as senior advisor to baseball operations with the Cincinnati Reds for the 2018 season. Hall of Fame consideration
<mask> has been a candidate for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Golden Era Committee twice, in 2016 and 2018, but has thus far failed to be elected. In 2018 he received 11 of a required 12 votes for the 2019 induction class. In other media
<mask> made a cameo appearance in the 1994 film Little Big League. In late 2007, Piniella appeared in a television commercial for Aquafina bottled water in which he parodies his famous June 2, 2007 meltdown at Wrigley Field.<mask> and Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillén appeared in one commercial to advertise a local car dealership during the first half of the 2008 Crosstown series. The creators of the commercial used their likeness in three other commercials, which featured stunt doubles riding bicycles and jumping rope. In 2009, Piniella did a commercial for DirecTV and in 2018, commercials in the Seattle area for Sustainable Housing for Ageless Generations (SHAG), formerly Senior Housing Assistance Group, a non-profit senior citizen affordable living organization.

<mask> (born 1973) is an Israeli graphic designer, illustrator and artist, based in London. <mask>'s work has been described as "deceptively simple", featuring flat colours, minimal detail and negative space to create images that often carry double meanings that are not immediately apparent. <mask> himself outlines his approach as avoiding unnecessary detail or decoration that might detract from an image's message, instead aiming for 'maximum communication with minimal elements.' Born in Israel and based in London since 2000, his illustrations appear internationally in newspapers, magazines, book covers and advertising campaigns. Publications that have featured his work include The New Yorker, The Guardian, The New York Times, Time Out London, GQ, The Economist, Wallpaper* and Esquire. <mask> works on campaigns for companies such as Apple, Google, Sony, Nike, IBM and Coca-Cola, as well as for public institutions like the V&A, the BBC, NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital and BAFTA. He also designs book covers, including covers for book series by the authors Don DeLilo and Haruki Murakami, as well as releasing three books of his own work:Guess Who?: The Many Faces of Noma Bar (2008), Negative Space (2009), and Bittersweet (2017), a five-volume retrospective. As well as appearing in print, <mask>'s work has also been featured in exhibitions, talks and festivals and, in recent years, has branched out to include prints, 3D sculpture, architecture and animation. He has been the recipient of a Gold Clio award, a D&AD Yellow Pencil, Cannes Lions Gold and Silver prizes, a Gold Epica Award and won 'Life-enhancer of the Year' at the Wallpaper* Design Awards. Career

Early work and influences

<mask> began drawing as a child, making caricatures of his teachers at school. His childhood neighbour made sculptures out of spare farm machinery; he later recalled how it showed him that 'you could take something and make it into something radically different, just by composition. That is the basis of all my work now.' His first notable portrait in the style for which he would later become recognised was made as a teenager; whilst taking refuge in a bomb shelter during the 1990-91 Gulf War, he noticed a similarity in appearance between a radioactivity symbol in a newspaper he was reading and the face of the then President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and used this resemblance to create a minimalist portrait of the Iraqi leader.<mask> went on to study graphic design, calligraphy and Hebrew typography at the Jerusalem Academy of Art where he developed his simple, pared down signature style, taking inspiration from the art of Russian Constructivism, Soviet-era propaganda posters, Art Deco film posters and the designs of the Bauhaus, amongst others. He has also later cited the influence of several individual artists and designers on his work, including Milton Glaser, Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Gary Hume, and Constantin Brâncuși. Outside of fine art and design, <mask> has talked about his love for the silent movies of Charlie Chaplin, saying Chaplin's ability to 'tell stories without words' is something he tries to emulate in his own work. Professional career

After graduating in 2000, <mask> moved to London, settling in Highgate. <mask>'s work was published for the first time shortly after, a full page illustration of William Shakespeare, accompanying an article in Time Out London. Over the next years, <mask> was commissioned to produce dozens of illustrations that appeared in a number of different major publications, including a portrait of George W. Bush that referenced the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, for The Guardian, and an image of Adolf Hitler, for an Esquire UK article on the growing market for books on Nazism, that replaced the dictator's infamous moustache with a barcode. In 2007, <mask> published his first book, Guess Who?: The Many Faces of Noma Bar, which featured a selection of previously published images of well-known famous figures, past and present. A year later, this was followed up with a second book, Negative Space (2009), which looked more broadly at <mask>'s other illustrations as well as his portraits, focusing on his technique of utilising negative space to create images with hidden double meanings relating to their original subjects. In 2010, <mask> began showing his work internationally in exhibitions, turning some of his works into 3D sculptures for the first time. For the major show Cut It Out, part of the 2011 London Design Festival celebrations, he created an innovative print cutting machine that members of the public could use to create their own personalised artworks using <mask>'s designs. The size of a human adult, the imposing, dog-shaped machine was hugely popular, with people queuing to make a cut-out print with a wide variety of materials that they chose to bring along. In 2013, he took the successful concepts from Cut It Out further, developing a whole new project and exhibition in 2013, called Cut the Conflict, in which people affected by wars around the world were invited to send in materials to be printed with <mask>'s designs based on motifs of peace. These cut-outs were then combined to make works that contained only materials from two countries in conflict with one another, making Cut the Conflict a celebrated project which has personally stood out for <mask>.By 2011, <mask> was receiving industry recognition for his work, collecting awards from, amongst others, the Cannes Lions and New York Festivals International Advertising Awards for his work on IBM's Smarter Planet campaign, and being awarded a D&AD Yellow Pencil for his series of Don Delilo book covers. For his involvement with the two language learning books, Chineasy: The New Way to Read Chinese, he won 'Life-enhancer of the Year' at the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2014, as well as two further D&AD Wood Pencils, a European Product Design Award and a nomination for 'Design of the Year' by the Design Museum. In recent years, <mask>'s work has expanded further beyond print. In 2012, The Guardian released a range of notebooks featuring <mask>'s designs and his illustrations have since featured on limited edition drinks cans and London Underground Oyster card holders. Also in 2012, <mask> created a number of room installations that were then photographed to create a series of trompe-l'œil covers for Wallpaper* magazine. In 2015, <mask> translated his illustrations into architecture for the first time, when invited by the Momofuku Centre to create a viewhouse in the wooded area near the Centre, in Komoro, Japan. The bird-shaped design was influenced by falling leaves in the surrounding forest and provided a spectacular 'bird's eye' view of the countryside.Since that year, <mask> has also made a number of animated shorts in his trademark style: one for Mercedes Benz, another for the World Food Programme and a Gold Clio award-winning short for the NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital's immunotherapy cancer treatment programme, that was shown during the 2016 Super Bowl and was seen by over 40 million people. This last animation was added to MoMA's permanent collection in 2016. 2017 saw the release of <mask>'s third and most recent book, Bittersweet. A overview of all the work of his career to date, the book comes in two versions, a 395-page paperback edition and a 680-page, 5 volume monograph, published by Thames & Hudson. Personal life
<mask> was born in Israel in 1973. He met his wife and fellow graphic designer, <mask>, whilst studying at the Jerusalem Academy of Art. After moving to London, they lived for a time near Camden Market, before settling in Highgate, where they live presently with their two daughters, Mia and Lili.Highgate Woods have become Bar's preferred place of working and he spends several hours a day there, thinking of ideas for briefs and sketching in different woodland locations.

<mask> (born May 22, 1969) is an American politician who is the U.S. representative for , which encompasses the eastern third of the state and includes Spokane, the state's second-largest city. A Republican, <mask> previously served in the Washington House of Representatives. From 2013 to 2019, she chaired the House Republican Conference. Since 2021, she has been the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. <mask> was appointed to the Washington House of Representatives in 1994. She became the minority leader in 2001. In 2004, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.She eventually became the highest-ranking Republican woman in Congress in 2009, when she ascended to leadership as vice chair of the House Republican Conference, and later, chair of the House Republican Conference. She gained national attention in 2014, when she delivered the Republican response to President Barack Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address. In 2016, <mask> <mask> was on President Donald Trump's shortlist to become Secretary of the Interior. The position went to Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke. Early life and education
<mask> was born May 22, 1969, in Salem, Oregon, the daughter of Corrine (née Robinson) and <mask>. Her family had come to the American West in the mid-19th century as pioneers along the Oregon Trail. In 1974, when McMorris was five years old, her family moved to Hazelton, British Columbia, Canada.The family lived in a cabin while they built a log home on their farm. In 1984, the McMorrises settled in Kettle Falls, Washington, and established the Peachcrest Fruit Basket Orchard and Fruit Stand. McMorris worked there for 13 years. In 1990, McMorris earned a bachelor's degree in pre-law from Pensacola Christian College, a then-unaccredited Independent Baptist liberal arts college. She earned an Executive MBA from the University of Washington in 2002. Career

Washington House of Representatives, 1994–2005
After completing her undergraduate education, McMorris was hired by State Representative Bob Morton in 1991 as his campaign manager, and later as his legislative assistant. She became a member of the state legislature when she was appointed to the Washington House of Representatives in 1994.Her appointment filled the vacancy caused by Morton's appointment to the Washington State Senate. After being sworn into office on January 11, 1994, she represented the 7th Legislative District (parts or all of Ferry, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, and Stevens Counties). She retained the seat in a 1994 special election. In 1997, she co-sponsored legislation to ban same-sex marriage in Washington State. In 2001, she blocked legislation "to replace all references to 'Oriental' in state documents with 'Asian'", explaining, "I'm very reluctant to continue to focus on setting up different definitions in statute related to the various minority groups. I'd really like to see us get beyond that." She voted against a 2004 bill to add sexual orientation to the state's anti-discrimination law, and was a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage.She is credited for sponsoring legislation to require the state reimburse rural hospitals for the cost of serving Medicaid patients, and for her work overcoming opposition in her own caucus to pass a controversial gas tax used to fund transportation improvements. From 2002 to 2003, she served as House Minority Leader, the top House Republican leadership post. She chaired the House Commerce and Labor Committee, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee, and the State Government Committee. She stepped down as minority leader in 2003 after announcing her candidacy for Congress. During her tenure in the legislature, she lived in Colville; she has since moved to Spokane. U.S. House of Representatives

Elections
In 2004, McMorris ran for the United States House of Representatives in the 5th District; she already represented much of the district's northern portion. She received 59.7% of the vote for an open seat, defeating the Democratic nominee, hotel magnate Don Barbieri.The seat had become vacant when five-term incumbent George Nethercutt resigned to run for the U.S. Senate. Tenure
<mask> <mask> is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership, the Congressional Constitution Caucus, and the Congressional Western Caucus. In November 2006, McMorris <mask> was reelected with 56.4% of the vote, to Democratic nominee Peter J. Goldmark's 43.6%. In 2007, she became the Republican co-chair of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues, which pushed for pay equity, tougher child support enforcement, women's health programs, and laws protecting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. In 2008, McMorris <mask> received 211,305 votes (65.28%), to Democratic nominee Mark Mays's 112,382 votes (34.72%). On November 19, 2008, she was elected to serve as vice chair of the House Republican Conference for the 111th United States Congress, making her the fourth-highest-ranking Republican in her caucus leadership (after John Boehner, Minority Whip Eric Cantor, and Conference Chair Mike Pence) and the highest-ranking Republican woman. In 2009, she became vice chair of the House Republican Conference, and served until 2012, when she was succeeded by Lynn Jenkins.McMorris <mask> won the 2010 general election with 150,681 votes (64%), to Democratic nominee Daryl Romeyn's 85,686 (36%). Romeyn spent only $2,320, against McMorris <mask>'s $1,453,240. On November 14, 2012, she defeated Representative Tom Price to become chair of the House Republican Conference. In the 2012 general election, McMorris <mask> defeated Democratic nominee Rich Cowan, 191,066 votes (61.9%) to 117,512 (38.9%). McMorris <mask> sponsored legislation that would speed the licensing process for dams and promote energy production. According to a Department of Energy study, retrofitting the largest 100 dams in the country could produce enough power for an additional 3.2 million homes. The legislation reached President Obama's desk without a single dissenter on Capitol Hill.In January 2014, it was announced that McMorris <mask> would give the Republican response to Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address. House Speaker John Boehner and Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell made the decision. McMorris <mask> is the 12th woman to give the response, and the fifth female Republican, but only the third Republican to do so alone, after New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman in 1995 and the Spanish response by Florida Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the most senior female Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, in 2011. Ros-Lehtinen also gave the Spanish response that year, which was largely a translation of McMorris Rogers's remarks. In 2014, the Office of Congressional Ethics recommended that the United States House Committee on Ethics initiate a probe into allegations by a former McMorris <mask> staff member that McMorris <mask> had improperly mixed campaign money and official funds to help win the 2012 GOP leadership race against Price. McMorris <mask> denied the allegations. In September 2015, Brett O'Donnell, who worked for McMorris <mask>, pleaded guilty to lying to House ethics investigators about how much campaign work he did while being paid by lawmakers' office accounts, becoming the first person ever to be convicted of lying to the House Office of Congressional Ethics.The OCE found that McMorris <mask> improperly used campaign funds to pay O'Donnell for help in her congressional office, and improperly held a debate prep session in her congressional office. A lawyer for McMorris <mask> denied that campaign and official resources had ever been improperly mixed. The House Ethics Committee did not take any action on the matter. In 2014, <mask> <mask> faced Democratic nominee Joe Pakootas, the first Native American candidate to run for Congress in Washington state. McMorris <mask> defeated Pakootas, 135,470 votes (60.68%) to 87,772 (39.32%).In 2016, McMorris <mask> defeated Pakootas again, 192,959 votes (59.64%) to 130,575 (40.36%). In 2018, McMorris <mask> faced Democratic nominee Lisa Brown, a former majority leader of the state senate and former chancellor of WSU Spokane. In the August blanket primary, McMorris <mask> received 49.29% of the vote to Brown's 45.36%.As of early August, McMorris <mask> had raised about $3.8 million, and Brown about $2.4 million. McMorris <mask> and Brown participated in a September 2018 debate. Both said they would oppose any cuts to Medicare or Social Security. Both said they supported the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. An audience member asked how old the candidates believed the earth to be; <mask> said she believed the account in the Bible, and "Brown said she believed in science, but didn't provide a specific age". McMorris defeated Brown with 55% of the vote. Shortly after the election, McMorris <mask> announced she would stand down from her position as conference chair.Liz Cheney of Wyoming was elected in January 2019 to succeed her.

Political positions

Health care
McMorris <mask> opposes the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and has voted repeatedly to repeal it. In late 2013, she wrote a letter accusing Democrats of being "openly hostile to American values and the Constitution", and citing the Affordable Care Act and immigration as evidence that Obama "rule[s] by decree". She blamed the ACA for causing unemployment, and when FactCheck.org reported studies that proved the opposite and asked her office for evidence to support her claims, "McMorris <mask>'s office got back to us not with an answer, but with a question". McMorris <mask> responded in 2014 to reports that Obama's program had provided coverage to over 600,000 Washington residents by acknowledging that the law's framework would probably remain, and that she favored reforms within its structure. In May 2017, she voted in favor of the American Health Care Act, a Republican health-care plan designed to repeal and replace large portions of the ACA. McMorris <mask> was the only member of Washington's congressional delegation to vote for the bill, which passed the House by a 217–213 vote.The bill would have eliminated the individual mandate, made large cuts to Medicaid, and allowed insurers to charge higher rates to people with preexisting conditions. In her 2018 reelection campaign, McMorris <mask> <mask> opposes same-sex marriage, and co-sponsored legislation in 1997 that would ban same-sex marriage in Washington state. She co-sponsored the "Marriage Protection Amendment", an amendment to the Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage that failed to pass the House in 2006. When a bill was introduced in the state legislature in 2004 that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, she voted against it; another bill was introduced in 2006, one year after she entered the House of Representatives. This bill was subsequently passed and signed into law by Governor Christine Gregoire. During an interview with Nick Gillespie in 2014, McMorris <mask> stated her belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman and her belief that marriage is a state, not federal, issue.In 2015, McMorris <mask> voted against to uphold President Barack Obama's 2014 executive order banning federal contractors from making hiring decisions that discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In 2016, McMorris <mask> voted against the Maloney Amendment to H.R. 5055 which would prohibit the use of funds for government contractors who discriminate against LGBT employees. Foreign policy
In 2020, McMorris <mask> voted against the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021, which would prevent the president from withdrawing soldiers from Afghanistan without congressional approval. In 2022 during the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis, McMorris <mask> stated that she opposed sending American soldiers into Ukraine as a means to deter Russia. Marijuana legalization
McMorris <mask> has expressed support for the enforcement of federal law in states that have legalized cannabis, saying in 2017: "I think about access to marijuana and the other drugs that I believe it leads to. Right now, it's against the law at the federal level, and until it's changed at the federal level, I would support [Jeff Sessions's] efforts."She later walked back her position, saying that she "lean[s] against" Sessions's move to rescind the 2013 Cole Memorandum. McMorris <mask> also repeatedly voted against the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment, legislation that limits the enforcement of federal law in states that have legalized medical cannabis. School safety
In 2018, McMorris <mask> co-sponsored the STOP (Students, Teachers, and Officers Preventing) School Violence Act, which established a federal grant program to "provide $50 million a year for a new federal grant program to train students, teachers, and law enforcement on how to spot and report signs of gun violence", and authorize $25 million for new physical security measures in schools, such as "new locks, lights, metal detectors, and panic buttons". A separate spending bill would be required to provide money for the grant program. The House voted 407–10 to approve the bill. Donald Trump
After Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, McMorris <mask> became the vice-chair of his transition team. She was widely considered a top choice for Secretary of the Interior.Several papers went so far as to announce she had been chosen. Instead, Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke was nominated. McMorris <mask> supported Trump's 2017 executive order to block entry to the United States to citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations, calling the order necessary "to protect the American people". In December 2020, McMorris <mask> was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated Trump. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement that called signing the amicus brief an act of "election subversion." Pelosi also reprimanded McMorris <mask> and the other House members who supported the lawsuit: "The 126 Republican Members that signed onto this lawsuit brought dishonor to the House.Instead of upholding their oath to support and defend the Constitution, they chose to subvert the Constitution and undermine public trust in our sacred democratic institutions." New Jersey Representative Bill Pascrell, citing section three of the 14th Amendment, called for Pelosi to not seat McMorris <mask> and the other Republicans who signed the brief supporting the suit, arguing that "the text of the 14th Amendment expressly forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against the United States. Trying to overturn a democratic election and install a dictator seems like a pretty clear example of that." In January 2021, McMorris <mask> announced her intention to object to the certification of the Electoral College results in Congress, citing baseless allegations of fraud. She reversed her position after pro-Trump rioters stormed the United States Capitol, and said she would vote to certify Biden's win. Creationism
McMorris <mask> rejects the theory of evolution, saying, "the account that I believe is the one in the Bible, that God created the world in seven days." Women's rights
In March 2013, McMorris <mask> did not support the continuation of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, but sponsored a "watered-down" alternative bill.Ultimately, her bill failed, and the House adopted the Senate version of the bill. Broadband
In 2021, McMorris <mask> <mask> voted against the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 which authorizes DHS to nearly double the available H-2B visas for the remainder of FY 2020. McMorris <mask> voted against Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 1158) which effectively prohibits ICE from cooperating with Health and Human Services to detain or remove illegal alien sponsors of unaccompanied alien children (UACs). Big tech
In July 2021, McMorris <mask> introduced draft legislation that would allow users of Big Tech platforms to sue companies if they think the companies censored speech protected by the First Amendment. Electoral history
