In 2018, <mask>, Fire Brigades Union leader Matt Wrack and ASLEF president Tosh McDonald toured England and Wales to promote this and other internal reforms which would provide "greater democracy and accountability within the party". <mask> said the tour, which was titled The Democracy Roadshow, would promote "common sense socialism" in the Labour movement and "ensure the "transformative" change promised by Mr Corbyn can be delivered in government". Views on handling of antisemitism allegations
In 2017, <mask> said that attacks on Corbyn's handling of antisemitism within the Labour Party were "proxy wars and bullshit" and that "I'm not saying it never ever happens but it is a really dirty, lowdown trick, particularly the antisemitism smears. Many people in the Jewish community are appalled by what they see as the weaponisation of antisemitism for political ends." Marie van der Zyl, the Board of Deputies vice-president, said that <mask> should "show solidarity with those suffering racism within his own party rather than blaming the victims".<mask> described antisemitism as being "utterly repugnant and a scourge on society, which is why I stand in absolute solidarity with anyone who is subjected to antisemitic abuse". He added that his critics' "accusations of anti-Semitism (against him) were positively sinister" and "highly offensive and hurtful" in suggesting "that I was an anti-Semite myself, yet I have fought racism all my adult life". In April 2018, <mask> referenced Ken Livingstone: "We've got these ridiculous suspensions and expulsions from the

 party" made "in the most grotesque and unfair way". Supporting Len McCluskey, who had accused some Labour MPs of using the issue of antisemitism in campaigning against Corbyn, he described some of his colleagues as "malcontents" who were "completely out of step with party members" and voters, but that deselection of MPs was "a matter for Labour Party members in each constituency and not a matter for me or indeed Len". In January 2019, during a visit to Derbyshire, Jeremy Corbyn defended <mask>, saying that "<mask> is a very good, very effective Labour MP. He's a very strong anti-racist campaigner. He is not anti-semitic in any way."Suspension from Labour Party

Formal investigation and suspension
In February 2019, <mask> was criticised for booking a room in the Houses of Parliament for a screening of Witch Hunt, a film about suspended party member Jackie Walker, to be hosted by Jewish Voice for Labour. At the same time, a video was published by The Yorkshire Post of him telling a Momentum meeting in Sheffield that the party was being "demonised as a racist, bigoted party", partly because, in response to criticism, the party had "given too much ground (and) been too apologetic", going on to say "We've done more to address the scourge of anti-Semitism than any other political party." Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson said that <mask> should have the Labour whip removed for his comments and a group of 38 Labour MPs had written to the party's General Secretary to ask that he be suspended. There was also pressure from London mayor Sadiq Khan, GMB leader Tim Roache, anti-racism charity HOPE not hate, the Jewish Labour Movement and the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Jewish Voice for Labour defended <mask>, as did the "Labour Against the Witchhunt" pressure group and the Sheffield Hallam constituency branch of the Labour Party who voted 40 to 0 in favour of a motion stating <mask>'s comments had been taken out of context. <mask> apologised for his comments

 saying: "I deeply regret, and apologise for, my recent choice of words when speaking about how the Labour Party has responded to the ongoing fight against antisemitism inside of our party. I was trying to stress how much the party has done to tackle anti-Semitism".On 27 February 2019, he was put under formal notice of investigation, and later that day suspended from the party. Formal warning, resuspension and court challenge
Labour readmitted <mask> on 26 June 2019 after a National Executive Committee panel considered his case and issued him with a formal warning. A party source said: "An NEC panel, advised by an independent barrister, found <mask> had breached the party's rules and gave him a formal sanction. He could face further, more severe, action if he repeats any similar comments or behaviour." It was suggested that the decision for readmission was made in order to enable <mask> to enter the Labour MP reselection process then underway. The decision to readmit <mask> was criticised by some Labour parliamentarians and parliamentary staff and by two British Jewish remit organisations. Two days later, he was resuspended after the Labour Party decided to review the decision.In August 2019, <mask> lodged legal papers with the High Court to challenge Labour's right to resuspend him. On 3 September 2019 additional allegations of misconduct were made against <mask>, resulting in a second suspension being imposed. <mask>'s barrister said "It appears from the timing ... that the purpose of the decision to raise these allegations now, and to impose a second suspension on the claimant, is to seek to ensure that he will remain suspended even if this claim is successful and that he will therefore remain disqualified from selection in the forthcoming general election." On 10 October 2019, the High Court ruled that reopening the first suspension had been unfair and unlawful, but upheld the legality of the second suspension on 3 September on new allegations,

In July 2019, the Labour Party in Northern Ireland (LPNI) released a statement opposing the resuspension of <mask> on the grounds that it was "arbitrary and unreasonable" and "the Labour Party does not have any form of particular problem with anti-semitism". In the same month, in a survey of LabourList readers with over 10,000 responses, over two thirds of those expressing a view supported <mask>'s readmission.The linguist and activist Noam Chomsky, who is Jewish, told journalist Matt Kennard that there was "nothing even remotely antisemitic" about <mask>'s comments in Sheffield, and remarked that the way accusations were being used in cases such as <mask> was "not only a disgrace, but also – to put it simply – an insult to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust." The Campaign for <mask>, established to support him, includes Israeli and British academics, film directors Mike Leigh and Ken Loach, musicians Brian Eno and Roger Waters, journalist John Pilger, actor Miriam Margolyes and comedian Alexei Sayle. In July 2019, more than one hundred signatories, describing themselves as "all Jews", including Noam Chomsky signed a letter of support for <mask>. The letter was later removed from The Guardian website, after questions were raised about the listed affiliation of some individuals on the list of signatories. Hope not Hate said that the person who used the organisation's name had not been authorised to do so and the Board of Deputies of British Jews said that two of the signatories had promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories. His speaking events have been controversial. For example,  Labour activists criticised his invitation to a trade union meeting in Hull and a talk in Hebden Bridge was cancelled after fears that protests would disrupt a wedding at the same venue.In October 2019, a Methodist church in

 Downham Market cancelled the booking for a meeting he was due to speak at after "its understanding" of <mask> increased, having not known anything about him at the time of the booking. An event due to be hosted by <mask> at the Brighthelm Centre in Brighton was cancelled after local MP Peter Kyle contacted the venue to express his concerns over <mask>'s alleged antisemitism. A second venue was also cancelled; <mask> said this was after staff were threatened in person and abused in phone calls and on their personal social media accounts. The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council called a protest against <mask> speaking, with a third venue then cancelling the booking after threats of violence were received. Supporters of the MP talked of the importance of protecting freedom of speech. In response, <mask> said: "The grotesque slurs that Peter Kyle and others have levelled against me are truly despicable. I have a long and proud record of fighting racism, which has always involved standing up for every oppressed and marginalised group in society, including Jewish people.When Peter Kyle was still in nappies, I was an active member of the Anti-Nazi League, physically confronting foul racists and anti-Semites in the National Front." In October 2019, the Union of Jewish Students and the Nottingham Jewish Society demanded that the University of Nottingham cancel a planned lecture by <mask>. The demand was supported by the Jewish Labour Movement and the Board of Deputies of British Jews. The university said “While the university is committed to supporting the well-being of all students within our community, we also have a legal duty to ensure that lawful free speech should not be prevented on campus.”

<mask> (April 15, 1867 – August 29, 1942) was an Anglo-American film producer and distributor, and one of the most significant figures in British cinema before the First World War. He was a pioneer of the documentary, educational, propaganda and scientific film, as well as being the producer of the world's first successful motion picture colour system. Early life
<mask> was born <mask> in Cincinnati, Ohio, the second child (of ten) of <mask>, originally from Ronsberg, Austro-Hungary, and Anna Sophie (née Glatz), from Königsberg, East Prussia. He lost the sight in his left eye aged twelve after a baseball accident. He changed his names to <mask> after leaving school in 1882, then worked as a book agent across Ohio, before managing a stationery store in Detroit, Michigan. Career
<mask> first entered the film industry in 1895 when he exhibited the Kinetoscope in Detroit, Michigan early in 1895. He moved to Britain in August 1897, and became managing director of the Warwick Trading Company, where he specialised in actuality film, including newsfilm of the Anglo-Boer War.In July 1903 he formed his own company, the Charles Urban Trading Company, moving to London's Wardour Street in 1908, the first film business to be located in what became the home of the British film industry. The building, at 89-91 Wardour Street, still bears the name Urbanora House. In August 1903, he launched his 'Unseen World' film show at the Alhambra Theatre in London, featuring microcinematographical films taken by F. Martin Duncan. Scientific films had never before been presented as entertainment to a variety theatre audience, but the show was a considerable success, in particular the film Cheese Mites which features cheese mites crawling around on a piece of Stilton. 'The Unseen World' went on to run for an unbroken nine months at the Alhambra and confirmed <mask>'s belief in the entertainment value of scientific and educational films. <mask> made many kinds of non-fiction film at the Charles Urban Trading Company, including travel films, war reportage, exploration films, sports films, advertising films and natural

 history films. Filmmakers who worked for him include Jack Avery, Joseph Rosenthal, <mask> Noble, Harold Mease Lomas, the mountaineer Frank Ormiston-Smith, George Rogers, J. Gregory Mantle and the naturalist F. Percy Smith.Smith made one of <mask>'s most successful films, The Balancing Bluebottle (1908), which featured a fly balancing objects such as a wine cork with its legs. In 1906, <mask> made a 1,275-feet documentary film called The Streets of London. The film shows Londoners going about their business on a typical day. <mask>'s own website states that ten minutes of footage rediscovered at the National Film and Sound Archive in Australia in 2007 is from this documentary. The National Film and Sound Archive claims, however, that film expert Ian Christie has identified it as being part of <mask>'s 1904 documentary Living London. He also made fiction films, of which the most notable examples are the proto-science fiction films of Walter R. Booth such as The Airship Destroyer (1909) and The Aerial Submarine (1910). Among his other business interests was a French production company in Paris called Éclipse, which <mask> founded in 1906, mainly to supply fiction films.His connection with that company lasted until 1909. He also established Kineto Limited in 1907, primarily for the production of scientific and non-fiction films. Kinemacolor

In 1906, his associate George Albert Smith (1864–1959) developed a two-colour (red-green) additive motion picture system, which <mask> launched in May 1908. From 1909 it was known as Kinemacolor. This enjoyed great success worldwide until 1914. <mask>'s most celebrated Kinemacolor film was a -hour epic With Our King and Queen Through India (1912), also known as The Durbar in Delhi, depicting the December 1911 Delhi Durbar which celebrated the coronation of George V. Kinemacolor companies were formed in France, the US, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Holland (with Belgium and Luxembourg), Italy, Canada and Japan. Of these the most prominent was the Kinemacolor Company of America, whose most notorious production was the unreleased The Clansman, a colour version

 of the Thomas Dixon story later filmed by D.W. Griffith as The Birth of a Nation.<mask> had nothing to do with this film or with the Kinemacolor Company of America once he had sold the rights to Kinemacolor. He made Kinemacolor fiction films, with studios in Hove and Nice, including By Order of Napoleon (1910), the western Fate (1911), Santa Claus (1912) and the feature-length The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1914). He also produced a 33-minute-long Kimemacolor version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1913, but it was very sparsely exhibited. <mask>'s Kinemacolor business came to an end in 1914 after a court case was brought by William Friese-Greene, producer of a rival colour system, Biocolour, who challenged the validity of the Kinemacolor patent. Though <mask> won the initial hearing, the verdict was overturned on appeal. Lord Justice Buckley wrote:

The patent is I think invalid because it does not achieve the result which the patentee says it will achieve. The matter may be summarised thus: The patentee says his process will reproduce the natural colours or approximately so.Blue is a colour. He says: Drop the tri-colour blue; do not employ the blue end of the spectrum - blue or approximately blue will still be reproduced. It will not. The patent is consequently invalid. Although Kinemacolor could still be operated, it was no longer an exclusive and lost much of its commercial value. <mask> made his last Kinemacolor film in 1915, and the last film to feature Kinemacolor was probably Saiyûki zokuhen, made in Japan in 1917. World War I
During World War I, <mask> worked for the covert organisation Wellington House and other British propaganda outfits.He produced the documentary feature Britain Prepared (1915) for Wellington House, which included Kinemacolor sequences of the British fleet at Scapa Flow. <mask> was recruited to promote this film and other British propaganda productions in America, although he faced considerable resistance from US exhibitors who were resistant to any form of war propaganda. He worked with the Patriotic Film Corporation, formed by William Robinson to support

 distribution of what had been retitled How Britain Prepared, but he ran into trouble with the British propagandists when he tried to do a deal with William Randolph Hearst's International News Service, which the British viewed as pro-German and anti-British. Another company, Official Government Pictures, achieved better distribution by use of more sensationalist advertising, but <mask>'s task became much easier once America entered the war in April 1917. He edited the classic documentary The Battle of the Somme (1916), making the crucial decision to release the footage in feature-length form rather than as a series of short releases. <mask> continued to edit and promote British documentary films in America to the end of the war, editing the government newsreel Official War Review. He formed a new business, the Kineto Company of America, in 1917.Later life
<mask> remained in the United States post-war to re-establish himself as a producer of educational films through his umbrella company, Urban Motion Picture Industries Inc. He produced the cinemagazine series Charles Urban Movie Chats (started 1919) and Kineto Review (started 1921), and made the documentary features The Four Seasons (1921) and Evolution (1923). He built a large studio at Irvington, New York, where he planned to introduce a new color film system called Kinekrom, based on the earlier Kinemacolor, and to distribute educational films on disc using the Spirograph. However, his business interests collapsed in 1924 and he returned to the UK in the late 1920s. He died in Brighton in 1942, at age 75, in relative obscurity. References

Galusha won the 2015 Northwest Territories Scotties Tournament of Hearts over Ann McKellar-Gillis, and represented the Northwest Territories at the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. There, the team had to play in a pre-qualifying tournament that was necessitated by having both territories (and the addition of Northern Ontario) have a direct entry to the Scotties. While she beat the Yukon in the tournament, she lost both of her matches against Northern Ontario's Tracy Horgan, failing to qualify for the main tournament.Galusha beat Hay River's Judy Goucher in the final of the 2016 Northwest Territories Scotties Tournament of Hearts, and represented the NWT at the 2016 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

texts: Brigadier General <mask>,  (11 December 1822 – 23 September 1857) was an Irish officer in the British Army who rose to prominence during his career in British India. Born in Ireland, <mask> moved to the Indian subcontinent at a young age and obtained a commission in the East India Company where he spent the majority of his life helping to expand Company rule in numerous conflicts such as the First Anglo-Afghan War and the First and Second Anglo-Sikh War. <mask> created a legend for himself as a political officer under Henry Lawrence in the frontier provinces of British India, especially in the Punjab, and he was instrumental in the establishment of the North-West Frontier. <mask>'s most defining moment in his military career was his crucial role in suppressing the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a conflict in which he died. A charismatic and authoritarian figure, <mask> led a life whose controversial exploits have created a polarized legacy with contemporary descriptions of <mask> ranging from him as the man who was crucial in suppressing the Indian Rebellion to him as an "imperial psychopath". However, he was certainly a man of his time, whose stern but fair governance gained him both fear and respect in equal measure from the various groups of people who lived under his rule. His imposing physical appearance and noted deeds of valor and violence created an almost mythical status and even religious worship among the numerous tribes of the North-West Frontier whom <mask> brought into the British Empire.<mask> was born on 11 December 1822 in Dublin, Ireland, the eldest son of Dr. Alexander Jaffray <mask> and Clara Hogg, who were both descendants of

Early career
On reaching India in July 1839, <mask> was ordered to join the 41st Native Infantry at Benares on temporary attachment. After spending four months being drilled on the realities of military life, he was transferred in December, as a regular Ensign, to the 27th Native Infantry based at Ferozepore.<mask>'s arrival in India had been too late to participate in the initial invasion of Afghanistan as part of the First Anglo-Afghan War. However, in November 1840, the 27th Native Infantry was ordered up to relieve one of the infantry units already in Afghanistan as part of the British occupying force and marched through the Khyber Pass and into Afghanistan in January 1841. After initially being garrisoned in Kabul,

The British force's relatively peaceful occupation duties were soon superseded by Afghan anger against the rule of Shah Shujah Durrani, who had acceded to the throne thanks to British support. Following the outbreak of a revolt led by Wazir Akbar Khan, the main British garrison at Kabul was besieged and annihilated as it tried to retreat from Afghanistan in January 1842. This defeat left smaller British garrisons scattered throughout Afghanistan, including <mask>'s at Ghazni, besieged by Afghan tribesmen during the freezing winter of 1841. Although the garrison at Ghazni was well supplied, <mask>'s commander, Colonel Palmer, capitulated after the Afghans promised safe passage out of Afghanistan.The Afghans, however, immediately disregarded this promise and attacked the British. <mask> was, with two other junior officers, separated from the rest of the garrison and led two companies of infantry in fortified buildings as they held off the Afghan attack for two days. The British soon ran out of food and water but <mask> initially refused to surrender as it would mean abandoning his Indian sepoys to their fate. However, after being ordered to lay down his arms by Colonel Palmer, <mask> was forced to watch in tears as his sepoys were slaughtered after refusing to convert to Islam. <mask> – together with ten other British Army officers – was held captive at Ghazni in a filthy, ordure-ridden, lice-infested cell between 10 March and 19 August 1842. With the approach of

Following the Battle of Kabul, <mask> and the rest of the British prisoners were released in September 1842, after six long months of captivity.Despite the British victory, their position in Afghanistan was no longer tenable and the army began the difficult process of retreating back to Peshawar. Following the trail which was still littered with thousands of dead from the previous disastrous attempt at withdrawal by a British army in January, <mask>'s regiment was part of the final rear guard as the British force was harassed through the Khyber Pass. On 1 November 1842, <mask> was briefly reunited with his younger brother Alexander, who had arrived in India only a few short months before and was now helping to escort the British force through the pass. Alexander's unit was ambushed and overwhelmed two days later and it was <mask> who was the first to find the mutilated body of his younger brother. This disturbing experience, as well as his experience of the Afghan War as a whole, is said to have deeply affected <mask> and left him with "an intense feeling of hatred" of Afghans and the entirety of India. <mask>'s first experience of war had also, however, instilled a "near-messianic sense of destiny" on him and he now believed it was his duty to spread Christian civilization into what he considered a "heathen" land.

 Peshawar, and later for two years at Moradabad.These two years were largely uneventful for <mask> who concerned himself mainly with military matters and mastering the Urdu language. In November 1845, on passing his Urdu vernacular examination, <mask> was posted to the Delhi Field Force which was being organised at that time, as the threat of a war with the Sikh Kingdom of the Punjab loomed near. Anglo-Sikh Wars and the Punjab

Upon the outbreak of the First Anglo-Sikh War in December 1845, <mask> was serving as a staff officer in the commissariat department of Sir Hugh Gough's field force which marched into the Punjab. In this role, <mask>'s main responsibility throughout the war was keeping Gough's force well supplied with provisions and ammunition. Following the decisive British victory at the Battle of Sobraon, <mask> was taken under the wing of Henry Montgomery Lawrence along with several other similarly aged officers such as Herbert Edwardes, James Abbott, Neville Chamberlain, Frederick Mackeson, Patrick Alexander Vans Agnew, William Hodson, Reynell Taylor, Harry Burnett Lumsden, Henry Daly, <mask>, this group was known as Henry Lawrence's "Young Men". As part of this small band of young and driven men, <mask> was given much power as a political officer on the North-West Frontier. His first posting in this new role was in July 1846 to the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir where he was to help solidify the rule of the British-installed Maharaja, Gulab Singh.Singh, however, was not a popular ruler in Kashmir and <mask> took part in the suppression of a revolt against his rule. He spent the remainder of 1846 isolated in the Kashmir Valley

To his relief, <mask> was recalled to Lahore by Lawrence in February 1847. <mask>'s next significant assignment was helping James Abbot win over the various tribes of the Hazara region which he did by partaking in a daring nighttime raid against the Tahirkheli tribe's mountain stronghold, after which <mask> and Abbott would form a strong friendship. The murders of Patrick Vans Agnew and Lieutenant William Anderson on 20 April 1848 signaled the beginning of a Punjab-wide Sikh rebellion which soon became the Second Anglo-Sikh War. Initially, the East India Company was unprepared to deploy their army to the Punjab which meant that their political officers, including <mask>, were completely isolated and effectively on their own in trying to maintain the British presence in the Punjab. It was in this vulnerable position that <mask> was to display his soon to be characteristic nature of acting decisively and on his own initiative.He left Peshawar with a troop of irregular Pakthun horsemen and rode straight for the vital fort at Attock which, if controlled by the enemy, could sever the British line of communication. Upon arrival to the fort at first light, <mask> rode straight past the stunned Sikh sentries guarding the main gate. When the Sikh sepoys further inside the fort raised their weapons against him, <mask> leaped from his horse and wrestled the musket away from the nearest sepoy before shouting at them to lay down their arms and leave the fort, which the stunned Sikh garrison promptly did. This action, which was to become the first of <mask>'s famed exploits among the


texts: Sikhs, had enabled him to secure the vital fort without firing a single shot. <mask> followed up this action just days later when he heard a Sikh infantry regiment were moving through the Margalla Hills in order to join the rebellion. <mask> left Attock with his trusted irregulars and met the Sikh force camped at a Muslim cemetery. <mask> rode up to the enemy camp and demanded to speak with their Colonel whom he gave one hour to submit their loyalty to him and be spared or else be destroyed "to a man".The Sikhs argued for an hour in front of the imposing figure of <mask>, who sat motionless on his horse for the entire duration. Upon the hour mark, the Sikhs returned to <mask> and declared their willingness to submit to his authority, thus cementing the growing legend of <mask> among the Sikh population. <mask> and the rest of the British political officers throughout the Punjab spent the next few weeks attempting to fight the tide of the rebellion, but still awaiting support from Company troops and with the intervention of the Afghans into the conflict, they inevitably suffered a number of setbacks and <mask> himself was seriously wounded while trying to storm a tower held by the Sikhs. By September 1848, Abbott and <mask> were effectively on the run from the Sikh army and could only undertake limited action against them. However, with the arrival of the Company Field Army, which included <mask>'s younger brother Charles, to Lahore in November, the tide turned and the British were soon able to undertake offensive actions with <mask>'s irregular troops acting as the army's reconnaissance force and securing its supply lines. <mask> fought in the

Following the complete annexation of the Punjab under the administration of the East India Company, <mask> was appointed the new Deputy Commissioner at Rawalpindi.He soon set about imposing "law and order" in the region. In one incident, after placing a bounty on a particularly troublesome local robber chieftain failed to result in his arrest, <mask> rode out alone to the man's village and demanded the chieftain surrender. When the chieftain refused this offer, <mask> fought and killed him before decapitating his body. He then placed the man's head on his desk as a warning to all other criminals who may be tempted to commit similar violations. By 1849, <mask> had spent ten years in India and was entitled to return home for a year's leave. During his time back in Europe, <mask> served as the best man at his close friend Herbert Edwardes's wedding and travelled throughout Europe extensively. On his return to India in January 1852, Lawrence appointed <mask> as the new Deputy Commissioner of the largely lawless Bannu area.In this role, <mask> was ruthless in bringing peace and order to the region with a zero tolerance attitude on crime or any perceived disrespect shown towards the colonial government, often using flogging or other similar methods to both punish and humiliate any who dared infringe the law. At first, he was feared for his foul temper and authoritarian manner which underpinned his tyrant-style rule, but <mask> soon gained the respect of the

The respect that <mask> had first gained from the Sikh people and then the Punjabi tribes became religious worship as the "Nikal Seyn" cult developed, which worshiped <mask> as a saint-like figure who brought justice to the oppressed by punishing the strong. Amazingly, this cult survived in surprising forms and ways in some remoter parts of North-West Pakistan, into the 21st century. Rather than be flattered by this religious devotion, <mask> found his Christian beliefs offended by the worship and would promptly whip any of the devotees who publicly practiced this cult in his presence. In 1855, at just the age of just thirty-four, <mask> became the youngest brigadier-general in the Bengal Army. <mask> was transferred to Peshawar in late 1856 to serve as the District Commissioner.Indian Mutiny

<mask> was dining with his friend Edwardes at Peshawar on the evening of 11 May 1857 when news reached them of the beginning of the Indian Mutiny in Delhi. <mask> and Edwardes immediately planned to form a 'strong movable column' consisting of European and irregular troops which would be able to move and meet any outbreaks in the Punjab. <mask>'s calm response to the outbreak of violence was in no small part due to the distrust he had long held for the Bengal Army, telling his fellow officers; "For years I have watched the army and felt sure they only wanted the opportunity to try their strength with us. Mutiny is like smallpox. It spreads quickly and must be crushed as quickly as possible." <mask> was awoken on 21 May

Despite initial plans to kill all of the captured mutineers, <mask> successfully pleaded with his superiors to grant clemency to the Sikh and youngest prisoners. His superiors concurred and executed forty by blowing them from a gun. One famous story recounted by Charles Allen in Soldier Sahibs is of a night during the Rebellion when <mask> strode into the British mess tent at Jullunder, coughed to attract the attention of the officers, then said, "I am sorry, gentlemen, to have kept you waiting for your dinner, but I have been hanging your cooks." He had been told that the regimental chefs had poisoned the soup with aconite. When they refused to taste it for him, he force fed it to a monkey – and when it expired on the spot, he proceeded to hang the cooks from a nearby tree without a trial.<mask> also called for the mutineers to be punished severely.

After replacing Neville Chamberlain as the commander of the Movable Column, <mask> left Peshawar on 14 June with his personal bodyguard of frontier horsemen, who took no pay and served the British only through a personal devotion to their commander. <mask>'s first act as commander was to disarm any native regiments in his column that he suspected of disloyalty. On 11 July, <mask> managed to intercept a force of mutineers that had risen at Sialkot and murdered their British officers and civilians. After he had defeated them in battle, the mutineers retreated to an island on the Ravi River and <mask> was forced to wait until 15 July before he could gather enough boats to launch an attack on the island. <mask>'s attack gained complete surprise and the British soon overwhelmed and routed the remaining sepoys.The column reached Delhi on 14 August, providing much-needed support to the besieging British force. <mask> found the British forces at Delhi to be in a sorry state, with many sick and wounded and demoralized from the ineffectual leadership of Colonel Archdale Wilson. However, <mask>'s already legendary status with dealing with the mutiny proved a major boost to the British troops who believed the young and aggressive <mask> to be the antithesis to their old and weary commanders who had mismanaged the outbreak of the mutiny. Despite not being in command, <mask> immediately began inspecting the British positions and formulating his plan to capture the city. It did not take long for <mask> to come to the conclusion that Wilson "was not at all equal

Wilson's strategy was based upon waiting for the arrival of a siege train from Calcutta before he would launch the assault. However, the rebels dispatched a 6,000 strong force from Delhi to intercept the British train before it could reach the city.In response, <mask> led a force approximately 2,000 strong to find and destroy the rebels before they could destroy the British siege train and jeopardize the entire British effort to capture the city. <mask>'s force managed to reach the rebels first and in the subsequent Battle of Najafgarh, <mask> personally led his troops in routing the rebel force, thus ensuring the arrival of the siege train and a hero's return to the British at Delhi. Following the arrival of the siege train, Wilson finally relented to the pressure from the other officers and permitted the assault to be launched at sunrise on 14 September. <mask> was to lead the first troops attempting to storm the breach at the Kashmir Bastion. In the face of withering fire from the defending Indians, <mask> led his column to the wall and was the first of his men to scale the escarpment made by the breach. He then helped clear the remainder of the walls of the Mori bastion but became separated from his column whose assault had become bogged down in the face of fierce resistance as they advanced further into the city. Upon hearing of his column's plight and that a full-scale retreat looked likely, <mask> rushed to the streets below and began rallying his men.Drawing his sword, <mask> called for his men to follow him as he led a charge down a narrow alley through which his

The mortally wounded <mask> was dragged back by troops of the 1st Bengal Fusiliers and initially refused to be taken to the field hospital until the city had fallen but eventually relented and was placed in a doolie. However, in the growing chaos of the faltering attack, the doolie carriers left the injured <mask> by the side of the road near the Kashmir Gate. A short time later, Lieutenant Frederick Roberts found the injured <mask> who told him "I am dying; there is no hope for me." Despite the wounding of <mask>, the British managed to hold their gains in the city.

He was buried the following day in a cemetery between the Kashmir Gate and Ludlow Castle. Legacy

Following his death, <mask> was immortalized by the Victorians to be one of the gallant figures of the Indian Rebellion as he became known as the 'Hero of Delhi' and the 'Lion of the Punjab'. In the decades following the events of the rebellion, <mask> became a household name and his life was widely eulogized by late-nineteenth-century historians who espoused <mask> as a


texts: martyr of the British Empire with the historian <mask> Kaye describing <mask> as "one of the purest hearts and one of the soundest Heads in all our Christian community". However, in recent decades the legacy of <mask> has been reappraised in context of his harsh attitudes towards crime and punishment. British journalist Stuart Flinders wrote that "<mask>'s name has become a byword for brutality and racism". The reexamination of <mask>'s violent and quite often controversial, even for his time, treatment of those who provoked his wrath has prompted the Scottish historian William Dalrymple to describe <mask> as "the great imperial psychopath".<mask>'s life and death inspired books, ballads and generations of young boys to join the army and he is referenced in numerous literary works, including Rudyard Kipling's Kim and in George MacDonald Fraser's satirical adventure novel Flashman in the Great Game in which Harry Flashman meets <mask> on the road between Bombay and Jhansi just before the rebellion, and describes <mask> as "The downiest bird in all India and could be trusted with anything, money even." He also appears as one of the main characters in James Leasor's novel about the Indian Rebellion, Follow the Drum, which describes his death in some detail and features heavily in the same author's history of the siege, 'The Red Fort'. <mask>'s legacy is also represented through the numerous monuments and statues which stand in his honour in both India and Ireland. These include two statues in Northern Ireland, one in the centre of Lisburn where <mask> lived and another at the Royal School Dungannon, his old school. <mask>'s obelisk, a large granite

Upon learning of <mask>'s death, Edwardes wrote to Neville Chamberlain, eulogizing his friend as "So undaunted, so noble, so tender, so good, so stern to evil, so single-minded, so generous, so heroic and yet so modest. I never saw another like him, and never expect to do so. And to have had him as a brother, and now to lose him in the prime of his life.It is an inexpressible and irreparable grief."

<mask> (born July 25, 1970) is an American former politician who served as a member of the Los Angeles City Council, representing District 12 in the San Fernando Valley, until he resigned December 31, 2018. While serving in City Council, he was the only member of the city council who was registered as Republican. Englander resigned in order to take a job with Oak View Group. He was subsequently indicted on  charges unrelated to a  corruption probe at Los Angeles City Hall. Englander pleaded guilty to one felony charge on June 7, 2020. Biography
Englander was born in 1970 in West Hills in the San Fernando Valley. According to an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News, his parents separated when he was 5 years old, and his mother, Linda, a real-estate agent, "worked two jobs, but lost a home to foreclosure."They lived in Canoga Park with his uncle Michael, whose janitorial firm Englander worked for as a teenager. Englander attended college in Arizona but returned to California without graduating allegedly in order to care for his ailing mother, who later died of a brain tumor. (Info provided to paper by Englander)

In 1994, his uncle Michael, who Englander said was a father figure for him, was shot and killed in a gang-related robbery. Englander became a Los Angeles Police Department reservist in 2005 the same day his uncle was killed, Englander's older sister Natalie suffered an asthma attack and fell into a coma. She was "rushed to an emergency room whose doors were mistakenly locked." She wasn't able to receive medical aid in time and "awoke with brain damage." She lived with the Englander family for a decade before she died.Prior to elected office, Englander worked as a political consultant for another uncle, Los Angeles lobbyist <mask>, and later on his own. He and his wife appeared as the couple in the pilot episode of the HGTV show House Hunters, where the Englanders are searching for a larger home for their growing family.

Campaign
Englander was chief of staff to City Councilman Greig Smith from 2003 to 2009, in Los Angeles City Council District 12, then in the Northwest San Fernando Valley. Like the Councilman before him, Englander joined the LAPD Reserves and used that platform to launch a run for office. In September 2009 Englander launched his campaign to succeed Smith, who had announced retirement upon his term's end. Noting that Englander was the "consummate City Hall insider," the Los Angeles Times endorsed him as "the best of several good choices."An editorial noted that Englander's "proximity" to Greig Smith had "clearly brought him advantages in fund-raising," with more than $440,000 already raised, "which is 10 times as much as his closest rival (and more than any other candidate for city office this election)." The Times said that Englander had been Smith's "proxy" and "now claims to have played the leading role in a number of Smith's accomplishments." The L.A. Daily News endorsed him as well, saying that Smith presented "common-sense ideas to reform government, such as cutting general managers' base salaries but awarding bonuses to those who provide excellent service on a tight budget."

Council activity

Arizona boycott—On October 21, 2011, Englander called for an end to the city's boycott of Arizona, which had been voted in May 2010 after that state adopted Arizona SB 1070, a law requiring law-enforcement officers to ask for proof of U.S. citizenship from people in vehicles pulled over and suspected to be in the United States illegally. He said he would pay his own way to attend a National League of Cities conference in Phoenix, since the city would not do so. Minimum Wage-On May 19, 2015

 Englander cast the lone dissenting vote when the Los Angeles City Council voted to raise the minimum wage in the city to fifteen dollars per hour in increments by 2020.Resignation
On October 11, 2018, Englander announced that he would resign from the council to join Oak View Group, a sports and entertainment advisory, development and investment company, as vice president of government affairs. Corruption conviction
Englander was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 16, 2020, for actions taken while still on the council. He was charged with one count of participating in a scheme to falsify material facts, three counts of making false statements, and three counts of witness tampering. The indictment became public when Englander surrendered to the FBI on March 9, 2020. The indictment stated that this stemmed from trips to Las Vegas and Palm Springs on June 1-2, 2017, and June 10-12, 2017, paid for by unnamed people. In Las Vegas, Englander and at least two city staffers were said to have attended and received hotel rooms, VIP hotel amenities, casino chips (at least some of which were returned), limo rides, a $2,400 dinner, and a visit to a nightclub. Englander is also alleged to have accepted $10,000 at the casino.In Palm Springs, Englander is said to have accepted another $5,000 at a casino. On January 26, 2021, Englander was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison for his conduct. He pleaded guilty in July 2020 to falsifying material facts, and as part of a plea deal admitted lying to investigators over the course of three interviews. He was also ordered to serve three years under supervised release following his prison term and pay a $15,000 fine. Englander surrendered to the U.S. Federal Camp in Tucson, Arizona. References

<mask> (December 20, 1902 – July 12, 1989) was an American philosopher of the pragmatist school known for his contributions to the philosophy of history, the philosophy of education, political theory, and ethics. After embracing communism in his youth, <mask> was later known for his criticisms of totalitarianism, both fascism and Marxism–Leninism. A social democrat, <mask> sometimes cooperated with conservatives, particularly in opposing Marxism–Leninism. After World War II, he argued that members of such groups as the Communist Party USA and Leninists like democratic centralists could ethically be barred from holding the offices of public trust because they called for the violent overthrow of democratic governments. Background

<mask> was born on December 20, 1902, in Brooklyn, New York City, to Jennie and <mask>, Austrian Jewish immigrants. He became a supporter of the Socialist Party of America during the Debs era when he was in high school. In 1923, he earned a BA at the City College of New York and in 1927 Ph.D. at Columbia University, where he studied under pragmatist philosopher John Dewey.Career

In 1926, <mask> became a professor of philosophy at New York University and was head of the Department of Philosophy from 1948 to 1969. He retired from the University in 1972. In 1931, <mask> began teaching at the New School for Social Research through 1936, after which he taught night school there until the 1960s. By 1933, <mask> and New School colleague Horace M. Kallen were serving also on the ACLU's academic freedom committee.

 Marxist

At the beginning of his career, <mask> was a prominent expert on Karl Marx's philosophy and was himself a Marxist. He attended the lectures of Karl Korsch in Berlin in 1928 and conducted research at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow in the summer of 1929. At first, he wrote enthusiastically about the Soviet Union, and, in 1932, supported the Communist Party's candidate, William Z.Foster, when he ran for President of the United States. However, <mask> broke completely with the Comintern in 1933, holding its policies responsible for the triumph of Nazism in Germany. He accused Joseph Stalin of putting "the needs of the Russian state" over the needs of the international revolution. However, <mask> remained active in some of the causes of the Marxist left during the Great Depression. In 1933, with James Burnham, <mask> was one of the organizers of the American Workers Party, led by the Dutch-born pacifist minister A.J. Muste. <mask> also debated the meaning of Marxism with radical Max Eastman in a series of public exchanges.Eastman, like <mask>, had studied under John Dewey at Columbia University. In the late 1930s, <mask> assisted Leon Trotsky in his efforts to clear his name in a special Commission of Inquiry headed by Dewey, which investigated charges made against Trotsky during the Moscow Trials. Anti-Communist

The Great Purge encouraged <mask>'s increasing ambivalence toward Marxism. In 1939, <mask> formed the Committee for Cultural Freedom, a short-lived organization that set the stage for his postwar politics by

texts: opposing "totalitarianism" on the left and right. By the Cold War, <mask> had become a prominent anti-Communist, although he continued to consider himself both a democratic socialist and a secular humanist throughout his life. He was, therefore, an anti-Communist socialist. In 1973, he was one of the signers of the Humanist Manifesto II.In the late 1940s and early 1950s, <mask> helped found Americans for Intellectual Freedom, the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), and the American Committee for Cultural Freedom. These bodies—of which the CCF was most central—were funded in part by the Central Intelligence Agency through a variety of fronts and sought to dissuade American leftists from continuing to advocate cooperation with the Soviet Union as some had previously. <mask> later wrote in his memoirs that he, "like almost everyone else," had heard that "the CIA was making some contribution to the financing of the Congress." On February 6, 1953, <mask> discussed "The Threat to Academic Freedom" with Victor Riesel and others in the evening on WEVD radio (a Socialist radio station whose call letters referred to SPA founder Eugene V. Debs). In May 1953, the John Day Company published Heresy, Yes–Conspiracy, No, a 283-page book expanded from a 1952 pamphlet (Heresy, Yes–Conspiracy, No! ), itself expanded from a 1950 New York Times article called "Heresy, Yes–But Conspiracy, No." In the 1960s, <mask> was a frequent critic of the New Left.He was opposed to  a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Vietnam War and defended California

The National Endowment for the Humanities selected <mask> for the 1984 Jefferson Lecture, the U.S. government's highest honor for achievement in the humanities. <mask>'s lecture was entitled "Education in Defense of a Free Society." In his book, <mask> provided a great number of examples of the influence of great people, and the examples are mostly associated with various crucial moments in history, such as revolutions and crises. Some scholars have critically responded because, as one of them claims, "he does not take into account that an individual's greatest influence can be revealed not so much in the period of the old regime's collapse, but in the formation period of a new one. [...] Besides, he did not make clear the situation when alternatives appear either as the result of a crisis or as the result of Great Man's plan or intention without [a] manifested crisis".<mask> introduced a theoretical division of historic personalities and especially leaders into the eventful man and the event-making man, depending on their influences on the historical process. For example, he considers Lenin as having been an event-making man, because of his having acted in an important circumstance to

<mask>Mia<mask> (24 December 1917 – 1 January 2001) was a poet, writer, translator, and amateur pianist. She was first married to Teddy Gleich (1912–1946), then to <mask> (1910–1967). She was the mother of <mask> and <mask> (1950–2004). Biography
<mask>, called Mia by her family and friends, was born Miriam Kohany in an assimilated Jewish family in Bielsko-Biała, Silesia, and died in Warsaw. She was the eldest daughter of the merchant Herman Kohany (1882–1942) who perished in the Holocaust under unknown circumstances, and Paulina Kohany, née Raaber (1882–1942), a porcelain designer in her youth, who was killed along with her younger daughter Hilde Kohany (1920–1942) in Treblinka. Miriam's older brother Oscar survived the war in the Soviet Union and in 1950 emigrated with his family from Poland to Israel. Before World War II
All members of the Kohany family were bilingual, fluent in German and Polish, and both parents and their daughters played piano.Miriam Kohany also had a good command of French and Russian, and was an avid reader of poems and novels. Her favorite authors were Goethe, Hölderlin, Kleist, Pushkin and Thomas Mann. After graduating from a Protestant German high school for girls in Bielsko, she held clerical jobs and was involved in the Zionist Youth Movement. She also gave small piano concerts, participated in theatrical performances and was, not unlike her younger sister Hilde, a cinema fan. Miriam greatly admired the actress Erika Mann and became acquainted with her when Mann's famous anti-fascist cabaret Die Pfeffermühle toured Silesia.

 World War II
Shortly after World War II started in September 1939, Miriam Kohany fled with her husband and elder brother from Bielsko-Biała to Lvov (today Lviv in the Ukraine) with a group of young people, dispersed on the way. By the time she arrived in Lvov the city had been annexed by the Soviets.Nothing is known about the following two years of Miriam's whereabouts under the Soviet occupation, except that she continued writing poetry. In 1942 Miriam Kohany escaped from the Lvov ghetto and survived, as did her husband Teddy Gleich, on the Aryan side with the help of Karol <mask>, a member of the resistance. While in hiding from 1942 to 1944, Miriam Kohany joined the underground and worked for clandestine news and publishing services. She kept writing poetry, made notes about Heinrich von Kleist and began a novel about her family, disguised as the family of Lena and Robert Buch. In 1944, with the Red Army closing on Lvov, she acted as liaison and ventured into the for-Germans-only parts of the city distributing leaflets calling on Wehrmacht soldiers to desert. After World War II
In August 1944 Karol <mask> became the editor-in-chief of "Odrodzenie" ("The Renaissance"), a cultural magazine first published in Lublin, later in Cracow and Warsaw—and <mask> became responsible for the magazine's correspondence, tracking down contributors all over Europe. Her job's difficulty is evidenced by the military censorship stamp on the envelope of André Malraux's letter of 4 August 1945, responding to <mask>'s request to contribute an excerpt of his novel to

texts: "Odrodzenie".Towards the end of the war <mask> switched from writing in German to writing in Polish. Her first book Jędrek i Piotr, a short novel about war orphans she had taken care of in Cracow, was serialized in "Odrodzenie" and published in Warsaw in 1946. Unpublished, however, remained her principle early work, a long wartime memoirs with autobiographical elements entitled Zdzisław Bieliński (ca. 1946): the name of a Lvov doctor who saved Jews along with his wife Zofia Bielińska. Doctor Bieliński was killed in 1945 by radicals of the Polish nationalist underground. The Bieliński couple was later declared as Righteous among the Nations of the World by Yad Vashem, but their heroic deeds became known in detail only recently, when Ewa <mask> discovered and published excerpts from her mother's memoirs in her novel Frascati (2009). In the fall of 1946, soon after the birth of her daughter Ewa in May, the Kielce Pogrom in July, and the sudden and still-unexplained death of Teddy Gleich in August, <mask> fell into deep depression and developed schizophrenia.She decided to stay in hiding and to keep her war identity of <mask>, born in the town of Zbaraż, where her husband Karol <mask> was born. In mid-1950s, despite the challenges of raising two young children, and her poor health, she enrolled at the faculty of German at Poznań University, but did not complete her M.A. thesis on Thomas Mann's novels. In the years 1956–58, when Karol <mask> was minister of culture, <mask> played a decisive role in bringing Western art and artists to Poland. She hosted Vivien

 Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Gérard Philipe and Yves Montand at their modest apartment on Frascati Street. In January 1959, when Karol <mask> was appointed Polish ambassador to Austria, she moved with her husband and children to Vienna. In Austria her health deteriorated and she was repeatedly confined to a psychiatric clinic.Yet she still pursued her literary and artistic interests, reestablished contact with Erika Mann, befriended the writer and pacifist Adrienne Thomas, and translated poetry by Erich Fried, Ingeborg Bachmann, Thomas Bernhard. After her husband's sudden death in 1967 <mask> supplemented her meager pension by giving private German and French lessons, working as librarian at the Austrian Institute in Warsaw, and advising Polish publishers on contemporary German and Austrian literature. She continued translating Austrian and German poetry until her death. <mask> is buried with her husband Karol and her son Piotr at the Warsaw Powązki Cemetery in a tomb designed by Ewa <mask>. Literary work
<mask>'s short stories, journalism and translations into Polish were published in the magazines "Odrodzenie", "Nowa Kultura" and "Zeszyty Literackie". Miriam Kohany's writings in German, an impressive amount of prose fragments and over one hundred poems written before and during World War II, constitute a tragic testimony of a hidden life. This body of work was only recently rediscovered by Ewa <mask>, and still remains to be published.Miriam Kohany's earliest poems go back to 1936. Some deal with love and the beauty of nature.

<mask> (born September 8, 1947) is an American novelist and short story writer. She has received an award for excellence from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in the short story form. Career
Born in Washington, D.C., <mask> grew up in Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C. and attended Woodrow Wilson High School. She holds an undergraduate degree from American University and a master's degree from the University of Connecticut. She gained attention in the early 1970s with short stories published in The Western Humanities Review, Ninth Letter, the Atlantic Monthly, and The New Yorker. In 1976, she published her first book of short stories, Distortions, and her first novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter, which was later made into a film. <mask>'s style has evolved over the years.In 1998, she published Park City, a collection of old and new short stories, about which Christopher Lehman-Haupt wrote in The New York Times:

<mask> has taught at Harvard College and the University of Connecticut and was for a long time associated with the University of Virginia, where she was first appointed as a part-time lecturer in 1980. She later became Edgar Allan Poe Chair of the Department of English and Creative Writing in 2000 and remained at UVA until 2013, when she resigned over disappointment at the direction in which the university was heading. In 2005 she was selected as winner of the Rea Award for the Short Story, in recognition of her outstanding achievement in that genre. Her first novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter (1976), was adapted as a film alternatively titled  Chilly Scenes of Winter or Head Over Heels in 1979 by Joan Micklin Silver, starring John Heard, Mary Beth Hurt, Gloria Grahame, and Peter Riegert.

Appraisal of <mask>'s recent work has been mixed.Writing in The New York Times, Michiko Kakutani called her novel Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life (2011) "preposterous," "narcissistic," and "self-indulgent"—the "sort of pretentious volume that makes people hate academics." In The Washington Post, Book World Editor Marie Arana characterized it as "a bill of goods" devoid of "anything resembling a story line" that is "less about the eponymous Mrs. than about an endless parade of wordsmiths trotted out for show." The book "is not, except in the most perfunctory way, about Mrs. Nixon," Arana determined. "It's about Beattie." "[T]he book does not succeed," wrote William Deresiewicz in The Nation. "Its bric-a-brac approach is ultimately wearying: nothing ever quite gets under way. One ends up feeling as if Beattie has spent the whole performance clearing her throat. . . .Her subject often seems a pretext, something just to get the conversation started." By contrast, Dawn Raffel, in the San Francisco Chronicle, called the book "splendidly tricky", "at times... movingly lyrical", and said "Nothing in Mrs. Nixon is perfectly clear, and that is the source of its power." Mary Pols described her short-story collection The State We're In (2015), which is set in Maine, in The New York Times Book Review as "slippery" and "peculiar." Pols wrote, "I read this collection twice trying to unravel the mystery of what else, beyond Maine, ties these unfinished-feeling stories together." In a

 review of Beattie's collection The Accomplished Guest (2017) for The Washington Post, Howard Norman admired <mask> for her "beguiling originality" and determined that "she is one of our few contemporary masters of storytelling." He also wrote, "When I read <mask>’s stories, I think of Chekhov’s; when I read Chekhov’s stories, I think of Beattie’s. Both are writers for the ages."Of <mask>'s recent novel A Wonderful Stroke of Luck (2019), Publishers Weekly wrote, "Beattie offers sharp psychological insights and well-crafted prose, but the novel lacks the power and emotional depth of her best work." In The New York Times Book Review, Martha Southgate wrote, "Ultimately, this is a novel in which nothing seems to matter much.” She also called the book “shapeless.” Southgate nonetheless praised A Wonderful Stroke of Luck for "some elegant sentences and cutting observations that remind a reader of Beattie at her strongest." <mask>'s papers are held by the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia.

<mask> was married to the writer David Gates. The couple divorced in 1980. In 1985, she met the painter Lincoln Perry, and they married in 1998. She and Perry both taught at the University of Virginia until 2013.From there they moved together to Key West, Florida, where she continues to write. In 2005, the two collaborated on a published retrospective of Perry's paintings. Entitled Lincoln Perry’s Charlottesville, the book contains an introductory essay and artist's interview by Beattie.

<mask><mask> (July 18, 1924March 20, 2007) was an American lawyer and judge. He was a judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals for 12 years, after serving nearly 30 years as a trial court judge in Milwaukee County. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a child, he suffered from paralysis due to the Polio virus, which left him dependent on crutches and wheelchairs for nearly his entire life. He would graduate from Marquette University and earned his J.D. from the Marquette University Law School. He returned to school later in life and received his LL.M.in taxation from UIC John Marshall Law School in 1972. Judicial career
In 1953, at age 28, <mask> ran for Wisconsin Circuit Court in the Milwaukee-based 2nd circuit. He challenged incumbent Judge Ronold A. Drechsler, who had been appointed in 1952 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Daniel W<mask>. At the time of the election, a poll of the Milwaukee Bar Association senior membership found that 96.7% did not think <mask> was qualified for the job. However, the membership may have been somewhat biased by the fact that Judge Drechsler was a past president of the organization. Nevertheless, <mask> won a narrow victory in the April election, carrying 52% of the Milwaukee county electorate and defeating Judge Drechsler by about 10,000 votes. At the time, some local journalists attributed his win to the fact that he shared the name "<mask>" with the recently deceased judge, although there was no known familial relation.<mask> was then appointed to begin his term early when Judge Drechsler was appointed to a different judicial vacancy in September 1953. Judge <mask> was re-elected in 1959, but left the circuit court in October 1963, when he was appointed County probate court Judge by Governor John W. Reynolds Jr. Although the circuit court would appear to be a more prestigious appointment within the state judiciary, the probate court

 offered more patronage opportunities and was therefore seen as a more lucrative position for <mask>'s personal advancement. He remained in that office for the next fifteen years. Court reorganization

In the mid-1970s, the Wisconsin Supreme Court began experimenting with organizational reforms to the state court system and, in 1975, set up 14 judicial administrative districts—each with a chief judge tasked with managing judicial assignments for circuit and county judges in the district and supervising court schedules. Judge <mask> was elected Chief Judge for the Milwaukee district by a vote of his colleagues, but, within a year, his attempts to apply the new powers prescribed by the Supreme Court led to significant pushback from judges in Milwaukee County—who questioned both Judge <mask>'s methods and the constitutional authority of the state Supreme Court to impose such rules on the judges. The need for reform, confronted by the objections of the judges, necessitated a legislative and constitutional solution.This controversy resulted in the 1977 referenda on amendments to the Constitution of Wisconsin which created the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, gave new powers to the state Supreme Court, and enabled the legislation which flattened the county and circuit court system. Throughout the reorganization process, Judge <mask> was outspoken as an advocate for judges in the discussion, offering his suggestions for the reorganization plan and identifying flaws that needed to be addressed in the new system. Following the judicial reorganization plan, the Milwaukee County court was combined with the 2nd circuit to create the Milwaukee Circuit court. Judge <mask> transitioned from a Milwaukee County judge to a judge for the Milwaukee circuit, effective August 1, 1978. Judge <mask> was also selected to remain in his role as Chief Judge for the Milwaukee district—with the chief judges now appointed by the Wisconsin Supreme
