 priorities. In November, Lungren won reelection, defeating Bera 51%–43%. In 2010, after Bera accepted a $250 donation from Basim Elkarra, Executive Director of the Sacramento chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the California Republican Party called on him to return the money. Bera returned the money after these concerns were raised.2012

<mask> announced a rematch against Lungren in 2012. The district had been renumbered the 7th district, and made somewhat more compact. It lost all of its territory outside of Sacramento County, making it slightly friendlier to Democrats. On November 13, 2012, Bera attended freshman orientation as congressman-elect while votes were still being counted. Candidates in these tight races sometimes attend the orientation by the Committee on House Administration, whose chairman was <mask>'s opponent, Lungren. On November 15, 2012, the Associated Press called the race for <mask>, who won 51%–49%. 2014
<mask> ran for reelection in 2014, facing former Republican congressman Doug Ose, who had represented what was then the 3rd from 1999 to 2005.The Rothenberg Political Report rated the 7th district "Lean Democratic," but The Sacramento Bee reported that Bera was "viewed by both parties as one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the country." Bera was a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Frontline program, designed to support vulnerable candidates. In June 2014, Politico reported that the DCCC planned to support Bera with $1.7 million in ads throughout fall 2014, and the House Majority PAC, a political action committee designed to support Democratic candidates, reserved $200,000 for late-election television ads. The Hill reported that Bera's campaign received donations from parents of another Democratic candidate, Kevin Strouse, only to have <mask>'s parents then donate a similar amount to Strouse's campaign. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, "The donations appear legal, campaign finance experts say, though two said any agreement among the parents to trade donations

 could be viewed as an attempted end run around contribution limits." In May 2016, <mask>'s father, Babulal, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of elections fraud. No Labels co-founder and former George W. Bush advisor Mark McKinnon said of Bera, "He is the most important member of our Problem Solvers—of the entire group.He stepped up immediately as a freshman to take a leadership position. He was out early advocating on our big issues like No Budget, No Pay.”

In response to a poll by the American Sikh Committee to Evaluate Congressional Candidates, <mask> did not answer two questions about the Indian government's part in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in which 8,000 Sikhs were massacred after Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. Instead, he noted that in 2005, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had publicly apologized to the Sikh community for the government's role. Bera also stated that, while it was a tragedy, he was more focused on the treatment of Sikhs in the U.S. and could not dictate how the Indian government should approach the matter. In response, some members of the Sikh-American community, and some PACs representing them, publicly withdrew their support for Bera. But with the majority of the Sikh-American population coming from outside of Bera's district, the advocates acknowledged that they were unlikely to affect the outcome of the race. On election night, Bera "was down by more than 3,000 votes...but came back to win after all the absentee and mail-in ballots were in."In the end, he won 50.4% of the vote to Ose's 49.6%. 2016

<mask> ran for reelection in 2016. He faced Republican Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones in the general election. In January 2016, the Elk Grove-South County Democratic Club, <mask>'s home club, voted against endorsing him, citing concerns with his record on trade and Syrian refugees. <mask>'s 2016 race was "one of the nastiest Congressional races with allegations and insinuations being bandied back and forth" and was also "one of the last two House races in the entire nation yet to be

 called." As he began his third term, he was joined by three new Indian-American House members: Raja Krishnamoorthi from Illinois, Pramila Jayapal from Washington, and Ro Khanna from California. Silicon Valley entrepreneur M. R. Rangaswami said Bera "was the first Indian American to be in Congress in a long time and now can actually lead a Caucus...able to shepherd Pramila, Raja and Ro and get them going during their freshman year."A coalition of dissatisfied groups prevented <mask> from garnering his party's endorsement in January, but at the state Democratic convention in February, he was endorsed, with 90% of the delegates voting to endorse. During the 2016 campaign <mask>'s father, Babulal <mask>, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison, and fined $100,200, for federal campaign finance violations that helped fund two of his sons' campaigns. <mask> narrowly defeated Jones in the general election, with 51% of the vote to Jones's 49%. The margin of victory was 4,802 votes. Since 2016, which saw the election to the House of three other Indian-Americans and to the Senate of the first Indian-American Senator, Kamala Devi Harris, Bera has been described as the "Godfather" of Indian-Americans on Capitol Hill. 2018

In 2018, Bera was reelected, garnering 155,016 votes (55%) and defeating Republican Andrew Grant, a former U.S. Department of State official, who received 126,601 (45%). 2020

In October 2013, Bera announced that he would give up his federal pay for the duration of the government shutdown. He also announced that in response to sequester cuts, he would donate 8.2% of his check each month to local organizations affected by sequester cuts. In a 2015 op-ed

He received criticism, including from labor groups like the California Labor Federation, for parroting lobbying firms. Bera later wrote an apology, though he stood by the sentiment of the op-ed. As of October 2021, Bera had voted in line with Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time. Political issues

Environment
According to The Hill in 2014, "Bera, who faces a tough race this fall against Republican Doug Ose, is a strong advocate for tackling climate change, but global warming isn't his focus when he talks about the drought with constituents."Health care
Bera supports the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and has voted against repeal efforts . Syrian refugees
On November 19, 2015, Bera voted for HR 4038, legislation that would effectively halt the resettlement of refugees from Syria and Iraq to the United States. Pakistan and terrorism
In 2016, Bera called on the Pakistani government "to take responsibility and start cracking down" on terrorists based in its country, and praised the Indian government for its restraint in the face of a recent attack on an Indian air force base by Pakistan-based militants. India–U.S. relations
Bera called a June 2016 speech by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi to a joint session of the U.S. Congress "the perfect speech for this moment in time" and claimed that India was becoming "a global leader and a global partner with the United States." "As an Indian American and a Gujarati American," Bera said, "I was thrilled by the prime minister's speech." Taxes

 originally screened on ABC Television in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, <mask> was again cast as Frank-N-Furter in a revival of The Rocky Horror Show touring Australia in 2014. In December 2014, McLachlan revealed that he was unable to return to Neighbours for the show's 30th anniversary celebrations owing to scheduling conflicts and his involvement in The Doctor Blake Mysteries.

McLachlan also had a recurring role in the Channel 10 dramedy The Wrong Girl alongside Jessica Marais. Sexual harassment allegations

During The Rocky Horror Show
On 8 January 2018, a joint investigation by Fairfax Media and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that McLachlan had been accused of sexual harassment by several actresses during his performing career. Three actresses from the 2014 Australian production of The Rocky Horror Show — Christie Whelan Browne, Erika Heynatz and Angela Scundi — made allegations against McLachlan. He responded, "Frankly, they seem to be simple inventions, perhaps made for financial reasons, perhaps to gain notoriety. In either event, they are to the best of my knowledge utterly and entirely false." McLachlan subsequently left the 2018 production of The Rocky Horror Show.Victoria Police announced they were investigating complaints from two of the women. McLachlan filed defamation suits against the ABC and Fairfax Media in February 2018; he also named Whelan Browne in a defamation suit. Producers of The Doctor Blake Mysteries announced that production would be


texts: temporarily suspended pending the outcome of investigations. The production company, December Media, "cleared the actor of any misconduct" during the show's run. In April, it was announced McLachlan would not be returning to the series. McLachlan's defamation case was due to be heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales from 4 February 2019; however, the suit was postponed pending the outcome of the related criminal proceedings. On 11 January 2019, Victoria Police charged him with one count of common assault, eight counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted indecent assault.At a hearing in April 2019 it came to light that one of the indecent assault charges had been dropped and that the case would be determined by a magistrate alone. In November 2019, a contested hearing of the charges began, with Stuart Littlemore as defence lawyer. The trial ended on 15 December 2020 with McLachlan acquitted on all charges. The magistrate described MacLachlan's evidence as contrived and his emotions as "not seeming genuine" and characterized the women who gave evidence as "brave and honest witnesses". The magistrate also said Mr McLachlan likely touched the women while they were performing, but that she [the magistrate] was not persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt he knew they were not consenting. During the course of the trial McLachlans lawyers argued "there was an overtly sexualised atmosphere among all cast members during the show that included crude physical pranks, hugs and kisses instead of saying hello and goodbye, actors sitting on each other's laps, a constant stream of dirty jokes and insincere remarks about their admiration and love for each other". In May 2021 Seven News' Spotlight program claimed that the ABC had


texts:
 "manipulated" McLachlan's accusers when it interviewed the women in 2018.The program showed ABC journalists (off camera) appearing to coach the accusers by offering specific words and phases for them to say in their interview, such as "predatory" and "power imbalance". The ABC rejected those claims. McLachlan is suing the ABC and Nine newspapers over media reports of the 2014 Rocky Horror Show tour allegations for which he was tried and acquitted. Further allegations
On 15 May 2021, fresh allegations were made about the actor's behaviour, including from Jeanne Downs, a former UK television star who accused the actor of groping her live while a guest on her popular children's show in 1990. Personal life
McLachlan's partner is opera conductor, Vanessa Scammell, whom he met in 2009. He has a child from his relationship with British actress and voice artist Charlotte Avery. McLachlan was briefly married to Karen Williams () with whom he had attended the same secondary school, and he was subsequently married to Neighbours actress Rachel Friend (1998–99).Awards

<mask> (September 21, 1854 – September 7, 1941) was the second wife of <mask> (from 1880), the mother of President of the United States <mask>, her only child, and subsequently the mother-in-law of <mask>. Delano grew up in Newburgh, New York, and spent three years in Hong Kong. She gave birth to Franklin in 1882, and was a devoted mother to him for the remainder of her life, including home schooling and living close by in adulthood. She had a complex relationship with her daughter-in-law Eleanor, which has led to media portrayals of her as a domineering and fearsome mother-in-law, though these are at odds with other views. She died in 1941, with her son, then the President, at her side. Childhood
<mask> was born at the Delano Estate in the town of Newburgh, New York, to Warren Delano Jr. and Catherine Robbins Lyman. She had ten siblings, two of whom died as small children.Three more died in their twenties. In 1862, <mask>, her mother Catherine, and six brothers and sisters traveled to Hong Kong on the clipper ship Surprise, where they joined Warren Delano who had resumed his business of trading in opium, then still legal. On board ship, <mask> enjoyed spending time in the sailmaker's loft listening to the sailmaker tell sea stories. Her brother Fred discovered Catherine's journal of the voyage many years later, in 1928. In 1865, she moved with her family back to Newburgh. She was educated at home, aside from a brief period in a girls' school in Dresden, Germany in 1876. Delano was described as 5'10" (178 cm), and an intelligent debutante beauty in her youth.She was also known for her sense of purpose that many young women of her age and class lacked at the time. Family
After many suitors, <mask> married <mask> I, who was 26 years her senior, in 1880. Two years later, she gave birth to a son, Franklin Delano <mask>, on January 30, 1882. After the birth of her son, doctors advised <mask> not to have any more children, and thus the young Franklin became the

She taught Franklin reading and geography, and employed tutors rather than sending him to a conventional school. After the death of her husband in 1900, she temporarily moved to Boston, Massachusetts to be close to her son who was then studying at Harvard University.<mask> did not approve of many of the women that her son courted. When Franklin fell in love with his distant cousin, <mask>, <mask> was determined to change his mind. She tried to coerce him out of the engagement, but with no luck, she insisted that her son keep his arrangement a secret for over a year. <mask> was heavily involved in the lives of Eleanor and Franklin's children. She often offered advice on how to raise them, and frequently undermined the couple's disciplinary skills by spoiling her grandchildren. Eleanor often relied on <mask>'s direction to make her feel more secure in her role of being a mother. Though <mask> became known popularly as a stereotypical domineering mother-in-law after being portrayed as much in the film Sunrise at Campobello, her actual relationship with Eleanor was much more complex.The pair grew close during the early years of the marriage as Eleanor's mother had died when she was young, and she used <mask> as a surrogate mother to discuss issues. She supported Eleanor after she discovered Franklin's affair with Lucy Mercer, which put the marriage close to collapse. However, the relationship began to be more distant after Eleanor became more heavily involved in politics and activism. <mask> never had a home of his own that was separate from that of his mother's. In 1906, <mask> commissioned a pair of houses to be built at E 65 Street, New York City, as a wedding present for Franklin and his wife, Eleanor, on the strict condition that she could move in next to them. She oversaw a series of connecting doors between the houses, allowing

 her access to the drawing room and children's bedrooms in the neighboring property. Her son and daughter-in-law moved out after Franklin took office in the White House in 1933.She lived to see Franklin elected President of the United States three times, becoming the first presidential mother to vote for her son. <mask> continued to support her son's career, even standing in as First Lady on several occasions. She was always prepared to say something positive about her son, and remained highly protective of him and his family. Death
<mask> <mask> died on September 7, 1941, with the President at her side, two weeks before her 87th birthday. "Minutes after her death, the largest oak tree at Hyde Park toppled to the ground. It was a clear windless day." The funeral was held at Springwood.The President can be seen wearing a black mourning band on his arm in photographs of him later signing the declaration of war against Japan. His mother's memory is commemorated with the Sara Delano Roosevelt Park in New York City's Lower East Side, which was dedicated during her lifetime, in 1934. She was buried next to her husband at the churchyard at St. James Episcopal Church in Hyde Park. In 2003, the City University of New York announced they would restore <mask>'s former home, now known as the <mask> Delano Roosevelt Memorial House, on 47 East 65th Street, where she lived from 1908 until her death.

<mask> (Obstalden, Canton of Glarus, Switzerland 12 March 1819 - Jacksonville, Oregon, 3 October 1905) was a Swiss portrait painter and American pioneer photographer, meteorologist, accomplished horticulturist, an early settler and developer in the Rogue Valley of the Oregon Territory. Britt is considered as one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated photographers, as well as the "father of the grape industry" in Southern Oregon. His photos of Crater Lake were instrumental in creation of the Crater Lake National Park in 1902. Biography

When <mask> was born in the town of Obstalden in the Swiss canton of Glarus, his family farmed land that had been in the family for centuries. Earning a living there as an itinerant portrait artist was difficult, but <mask> pursued this until 1845, when he immigrated to the United States with his father <mask>, his brother Kaspar, and Kaspar's family. They settled with other Swiss emigres in Highland, Illinois. Portrait artists of the time were faced with competition from daguerreotype photographers, so Britt studied this new technology with John H. Fitzgibbon in St. Louis.Although Britt apparently opened his own studio in Highland in 1847 and operated it for five years, however no records to support that claim were ever located. Perhaps gold fever, or just wanderlust, took <mask> from Illinois to Oregon in 1852, following the completion of his naturalization process. Britt left Illinois with John Hug and two other Swiss men heading west on the Oregon Trail. Britt was elected captain of the wagon train, John was the wagon master, and the group made it to Grande Ronde Valley before the men insisted on no longer dealing with Britt's 300 pounds of photographic equipment. John Hug split the wagon train into two halves. At The Dalles, Oregon, John Hug and Britt chose an overland route to Portland, while the other two men chose the Columbia River route and arrived in Portland, Oregon, just 24 hours later. Finally, Britt, hearing news of

 the gold mining strike in Table Rock City (now Jacksonville, Oregon), left Portland alone for southern Oregon.According to Alan Clark Miller, he arrived to the gold-mining camp of Jacksonville with the two-wheeled cart, a yoke of oxen, a mule, and five dollars in his pocket. Britt built a log cabin in Jacksonville in November 1852, on land where he lived for the rest of his life. This log cabin no longer exists, but Southern Oregon University archeologists have recently determined the site of the cabin. Although <mask> brought his photographic equipment all the way from Illinois to Oregon for a photo studio, he first tried gold mining and mule packing in order to earn a living. Altogether, Britt was successful enough to send money back to his brother Kaspar in Illinois, build a frame house in 1854, give up the dangerous mule packing business in 1856 to concentrate on his photography business, and expand his home in 1859. According to Alan Clark Miller, Britt knew his future wife, Amalia Grob, in Switzerland, but her father would not allow them to marry because <mask>'s occupation as an itinerant artist was too tenuous. Instead, Amalia married a relative, Kaspar Grob.<mask>'s brother Kaspar did marry Amalia's sister, though. When Mr. Grob died in 1861, Kaspar <mask> contacted <mask>. Miller states that <mask> immediately sent Amalia funds to return to Switzerland if she wished, or to travel to Oregon and marry him. With her young son Jacob, Amalia traveled to New Orleans and around Cape Horn to San Francisco, then by steamer to Crescent City and finally by stage to the Applegate stop. <mask> met her there and they were married. Prior to Amalia's death in 1871, she and <mask> had three children of their own, Emil, Arnold (who died as an infant) and Amalia Dorothea, known as Mollie. Emil, who also became a photographer, and Mollie remained in the Britt home their entire lives.Photography

 and opened a photography studio, P. Britt’s Photograph and Daguerreotype Room, in Jacksonville. Soon, he established himself in the southwestern Oregon and northern California area as a skillful professional, best known for his photo portraits. Among his subjects were local prominent citizens, farmers, miners, Chinese workers, and Native Americans. Until 1858 Britt could take only daguerreotypes or ambrotypes, processes that provided only the photo, no negatives or extra prints. About 200 of his daguerreotypes survive. Britt's first wet plate negative was taken of a trapper who agreed to sit for Britt's experiment. In the 1860s Britt purchased a stereo camera, which led to his development as an outdoor photographer as well as a gallery photographer.At this point he set up the traveling studio he called The Pain, a pun on Bain Wagon Company, which manufactured his wagon. Although Britt traveled only within  of Jacksonville, this provided opportunities to photograph the Oregon Coast, the Redwood Empire, the Siskiyou Mountains, the Rogue and Klamath rivers, and the deserts and lava beds east of the Cascades. <mask> is often remembered as the person who took the first successful photograph of Crater Lake. He did so in 1874, after his attempts in 1868 and 1869 had failed. His photos helped William Gladstone Steel persuade Congress to create Crater Lake National Park in 1902. Britt also painted Crater Lake. Many of <mask>'s dry plate negatives, and those of his son Emil, are archived at the Southern Oregon Historical Society Research Library in Medford, Oregon.They are owned by Southern Oregon University. Images of many Britt prints may be viewed online. Painting

<mask> began his career as an artist in Switzerland. Although he may have been primarily interested in painting nature studies and landscapes, he earned an income by painting portraits in Switzerland, Germany and possibly France. Once in the United States, Britt also painted portraits on commission, including one

 of Col. George Davenport completed just before Davenport was murdered by river pirates on July 4, 1845. This portrait, considered as "the foremost example of <mask>t's portrait skill", now belongs to the Figge Art Museum. Since paints and canvases were difficult to obtain due to the lack of funds, Britt apparently ground minerals and mixed them with oil and pigments, and wove his own canvases from flax grown on the family farm.Britt returned to painting in his later years. He painted remembered views of Switzerland, portraits of Britt family members and Oregon scenes such as Crater Lake and Mill Creek Falls. Other pursuits

Long before he established Oregon's first winery, Valley View Vineyard, <mask>t grew grapes and sold wine in Jacksonville. By 1880 he produced  of wine per year, and eventually filled orders from as far away as Wyoming. Britt also produced and sold honey, peaches, apples and pears. Britt is known as the father of the southern Oregon fruit industry. He irrigated his property as early as 1855 and used smudging to fight frost.As an avid horticulturalist, Britt imported plants from "most of the civilized world." He particularly enjoyed growing semi-tropical plants, including palm trees, an Abyssinian banana tree, Smyrna figs and Japanese persimmons. The plants, unsuited to southern Oregon's climate, required exceptional care and in some cases a solarium. In September 1903, Professor A. B. Cordley and Professor E. R. Lake, of the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, while in Jacksonville for the fruit-growers convention paid a visit to Britt's home and examined the park about the house and his collection of trees, shrubs, and flowers. In addition to obtaining land for his orchards, gardens and vineyard, Britt invested in land farmed by tenant farmers, and held deeds to over . Britt also made money by making loans secured by land, and unsecured personal loans.Miller indicates Britt was a reasonable, perhaps even generous, landlord and lender. Britt

 also dealt fairly with Chinese miners, lending them grubstakes until he finally hung a sign "No More Money to Loan", but still provided shacks on his property to Chinese laborers who mined gold on his land. <mask> and later his son Emil devoted significant time to at least one endeavor, weather reporting, that netted no income. Notes in Britt's diary began in 1859, when he used a pocket sundial and a homemade rain gauge. From 1870 to 1891, Britt reported weather to the Signal Corps Weather Service, using their equipment. <mask> reported to the Weather Bureau for another 58 years. Civic duties

<mask> was a civic leader in his community.He served on the Jacksonville City Council twice, and on various committees. He belonged to at least four German American organizations, The Turnverein, Jacksonville Harmonie; Improved Order of Red Men, and Eintracht, a German Swiss mutual aid group. Britt handled correspondence for Eintracht, found work for young emigrants, and provided occasional lodging for travelers. After one member, Frederich Ruch, and his wife committed suicide, <mask> became guardian for their three sons. Britt did not participate in Jacksonville's religious community, although his children were baptized by Moses Williams, the first Presbyterian minister in Southern Oregon, and remained Presbyterians throughout their lives. <mask> was a follower of Robert Ingersoll, an agnostic. Britt served as vice president of the Oregon State Secular Union and helped establish the now defunct Liberal University at Silverton, Oregon, in 1896.Legacy

Britt made lasting contributions to the industry and culture of the Rogue Valley. His artistic legacy includes multiple photographs, and close to 800 of them are preserved by the Southern Oregon University and the Southern Oregon Historical Society. The Society also stores the Britt archives and a catalog of his paintings. Britt Park and the Britt Festival in Jacksonville are also testimonies to Britt's vision, hard work and

 success as a southern Oregon pioneer settler, who documented in his art the spirit and energy of the pioneer era. Recognition
As a visual artist, Britt secured a "significant regional photographer" rating among pioneer photographers of the American Far West. To Britt belongs the honor of taking on February 26, 1858 the first paper photograph in Oregon. The International Center of Photography in Manhattan, New York City, held an exhibition of photographs by <mask>t in recognition of his life achievements.In Southern Oregon, <mask> is still remembered and celebrated  as the painter and pioneer photographer who left a rich heritage of local 19th-century portraits and landscapes. During his 50 years in Jacksonville, Oregon, he contributed to the growth of the local community in many ways, as a model citizen and family man, visual artist, gardener, orchardist, and vintner, among other activities. Although Britt's home no longer exists, his former property has become the home of the Britt Festival and Britt Gardens, as well as a part of Jacksonville’s Woodlands Trail System. The Southern Oregon Historical Society created an exhibit, <mask>: The Man Beyond the Camera housed in the Jacksonville Museum, with near 400 artifacts, including Britt’s personal diaries from 1859 to 1905, photographs and oil paintings, and the daguerreotype camera that he brought to Jacksonville over the Oregon Trail, among other items.

<mask>, CBE (April 28, 1924 – December 23, 2018) was a Canadian chemist, businessman, philanthropist, and collector of fine art. He was considered by the Chemical & Engineering News poll of 1998 to be one of the "Top 75 Distinguished Contributors to the Chemical Enterprise" during C&EN's 75-year history. Early years
<mask> was born on  April 28, 1924, in Vienna, Austria. His father, <mask>, was of Czech Jewish descent. His grandfather, <mask>, had been a civil engineer, who worked on the Suez Canal and was knighted by Emperor Franz Josef for his service as Austrian consul at Ismaïlia. His mother, Elizabeth Countess Serényi, came from an aristocratic Catholic Hungarian family. In spite of adamant opposition from Serényi's family, the couple had married in London and settled in Vienna.<mask> was born only two weeks before his father's death. He was adopted by his father's sister, Gisela Reich, and raised as a Jew. His older sister, Marion, remained with Countess Serényi and was raised as a Catholic. In June 1938, Bader was forced out of school because Jews were forbidden to attend beyond the age 14. On December 10, 1938, he was sent from Austria to England as part of the Kindertransport to escape Nazi persecution. His adoptive mother remained in Austria, and died in 1942 in Theresienstadt. While in England, Bader attended the East Hove Senior School for Boys, and Brighton Technical College.In 1940 he was sent to a Canadian internment camp for European refugees (which Bader described as spartan but a good influence on his academic and social education). While in the camp, Bader passed his junior and senior matriculation, taking exams from McGill University. A Montreal sponsor, Martin Wolff, welcomed him into a Canadian Jewish family in late 1941 and encouraged him to study further. Education
After being rejected by McGill, which had a Jewish "quota" and by the University of Toronto, where the chemistry department was doing sensitive war work, <mask> was accepted by Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario. He received his

 B.Sc. in Engineering Chemistry in 1945, followed by a B.A. in History in 1946.During the summers, he worked for the Murphy Paint Company in Montreal, formulating paints, lacquers and varnishes to order. He completed his M.S. in Chemistry in 1947, doing considerable work on the oxidation of linoleic acids and isomeric tetrahydroxystearic acids. His work with Arthur F. McKay, a "superb experimentalist"  who supervised Bader's laboratory work in experimental chemistry, convinced Bader to focus on the field of synthetic organic chemistry. <mask> went on to study at Harvard University, with the support of the Abbott fellowship. He received an M.A. in Chemistry in 1949 and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1950.At Harvard, he studied with famed organic chemist Louis Fieser, working on the rearrangement of quinones and the development of intermediates in the Hooker oxidation process.

Business
While working for the Murphy Paint Company in Montreal, Bader was offered financial support to do graduate work, on the condition that he return to work at the company. By the time he finished his Ph.D. at Harvard, Murphy Paint had been acquired by Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. In January 1950, Bader began work as a research chemist at Pittsburgh Plate Glass. His appointment to the Milwaukee, Wisconsin research facilities  broke an unwritten rule against the hiring of Jews and African Americans. While at PPG Bader did significant work in noncatalytic transesterification and in the development of monomers, including systematic studies of alkenylphenols, unsaturated phenols, and phenolic resins. This work led to a number of patents.The patent for <mask>'s method of creating diphenolic acid was later sold by PPG to Johnson Wax for $1M. Bader remained with PPG until 1954, when the company planned a move to Pittsburgh. During this time,

texts: Bader became increasingly aware of the need for a small reliable company dedicated to providing quality research chemicals. At that time Kodak was their only supplier, and the large company seemed to show insufficient consideration for small and independent researchers. <mask> himself had experienced this as a graduate student, when he ordered one of the compounds he needed from the Kodak catalog. He eventually had to make it himself due to its infrequent availability. In 1951, while still working at PPG, <mask> co-founded the Aldrich Chemical Company with Jack Eisendrath, a lawyer.Jack Eisendrath was the first company president. Although Bader held the title of Chief Chemist, most chemicals were not produced in-house. Bader bought interesting compounds from a variety of sources in the United States and Europe and listed them in his catalog. The company initially operated out of a garage where the chemicals were stored and packaged for mailing. The first product sent out by Aldrich was Methylnitronitrosoguanidine, which Bader had learned to produce at Queen's. By 1954 <mask> and his first wife, Helen "Danny" Daniels, bought Eisendrath out of Aldrich, becoming "sole and equal owners of the company." <mask> became the company president, leaving PPG.Reliable chemicals were essential for research chemists of all kinds. They saved time and work in preparation, and the availability of standardized key reagents and starting materials contributed to the reproducibility of experimental results. The Aldrich Chemical Company catalog eventually grew to contain nearly 50,000 substances, described by the Chemical Heritage Foundation as "a huge library of rare chemicals" in addition to thousands of those most commonly used. The company's "Big Red" annual catalog was often used as a reference work because of the extensive physical data and structural information that it contained. As the catalog grew, so did the company. In 1962 in a 50:50 venture between Aldrich Chemicals and Metal Hydrides Inc., <mask> founded Alfa Inorganics,

 intending to complement  Aldrich's organic chemicals with inorganic research chemicals. This joint venture was terminated in 1967.Other joint ventures have been formed as well. A separate corporation, the Alfred Bader Chemical Corp., was sold to Aldrich on December 20, 1965. A British subsidiary, originally known as Ralph N. Emanuel, Ltd., was co-owned by the Emanuel and Bader families from 1959 to 1969, was gradually taken over by Aldrich, and officially renamed Aldrich Chemical Co. Ltd. in 1973. Aldrich also obtained a controlling interest in Heidenheimer Chemisches Laboratorium (HCL) in Heidenheim, Germany by 1971. In 1975 the Aldrich Chemical Company merged with Sigma Chemical Corporation to become the Sigma-Aldrich Corporation. Aldrich was a leading supplier of organic research chemicals; Sigma a leading supplier of research biochemicals. Together they became the 80th largest chemical company in the United States.As of 1987, 35% of the chemicals sold by Aldrich were produced in-house. <mask> served as president of the combined company from 1975 to 1980 and from 1980 to 1991 as chairman. In 1991 he retired as chairman, and was named chairman emeritus. In an unexpected corporation upheaval, Bader was voted off the board of the company in 1992, losing the title of chairman emeritus, but remaining one of the largest holders of the company's stock. Bader later stated that while it was a staggering blow at the time, the change gave him more time to deal in art works and continue his philanthropy, making him happier. The company later reinstated Bader in the role of "chemist collector," in which he provided the company journal, Aldrichimica Acta, with paintings for its covers. Art collector

Bader stated, "I am an inveterate collector.It may be a sickness, and it began with stamps at eight, drawings at 10, paintings at 20, and rare chemicals at 30." He collected stamps as a youth when his finances permitted. He purchased his first oil painting in the Canadian internment camp: his portrait, painted by a fellow inmate,

 for a fee of one Canadian dollar. A lifelong collector, Bader has devoted himself to the study of art history and collection of many fine paintings. In 1961, he and Marvin Klitsner established <mask>er Fine Arts gallery in Milwaukee. Beginning with its first issue in 1968, Bader contributed numerous articles on art subjects to the Aldrich Chemical Company's journal, Aldrichimica Acta. In addition, full-color copies of Dutch masters from Bader's collection were used for the covers of many of the journal's issues.Artworks from his collection were also featured on the Aldrich Handbook, beginning with the Quill Cutter by Paulus de Lesire in the 1967–68 edition of the catalog. In 1995 <mask> published his autobiography, Adventures of a Chemist Collector, which details his experiences from Nazi-era refugee, to chemist magnate, to fine arts connoisseur. In 2008 he published his second autobiography, Chemistry & Art - Further Adventures of a Chemist Collector. <mask> died at home in Milwaukee on December 23, 2018. Philanthropist

Bader has given various charitable donations to Queen's University, Canada, both financial and in-kind. He purchased the 15th century Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England, and donated it to Queen's University, which opened the Bader International Study Centre there in 1994. The residence at the International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle is named "Bader Hall" in recognition.Bader and his second wife, Isabel, have also established a number of fellowships, including the <mask>er Graduate Fellowship, the <mask>er Graduate Fellowship in Art, The <mask>er Graduate Fellowship in the Humanities, and the <mask> and Isabel Bader Postdoctoral Fellowship in Jewish History. Queen's also hosts three Bader Chairs: in Organic Chemistry, in Southern Baroque Art, and in Northern Baroque Art. In honour of his numerous contributions, in 2004 Queen's renamed a campus road from "Queen's Crescent" to "Bader Lane". The Baders are long-time supporters of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen's in Kingston,

texts: Ontario. Upon the invitation of curator Frances Smith in 1967, Bader first donated a painting to Queen's, a Salvator Mundi. In 2014, Bader and his second wife, Isabel, donated 68 paintings from their personal collection of Dutch and Flemish Baroque art to the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, bringing the number of paintings they have donated to the centre to over 200. Highlights of the collection include three paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn, Head of an Old Man in a Cap, Head of a Man in a Turban, and Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo; and paintings by Willem Drost, Jan Lievens, Aert de Gelder, and Jacobus Leveck.The collection has been the basis of a number of exhibitions and publications. The Baders also contributed a "transformational gift" towards the creation of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, which opened in 2014. The centre contains a music performance hall, a studio theatre, a small cinema, an art and media lab, a large rehearsal hall and many classrooms, and brings together the Department of Film and Media, the School of Music, the Department of Drama, and the Bachelor of Fine Art Program at Queen's. It provides a performance venue for both the university and the surrounding city. At Victoria University, Toronto, alma mater of Isabel Bader, the Baders funded construction of a performing arts theatre, the Isabel Bader Theatre. The Baders have also supported Project SEED, an American Chemical Society initiative that gives scholarships to economically disadvantaged high school students and enables them to conduct hands-on research. Since 2001, the Baders supported the Malta Conferences Foundation which uses science as a bridge to peace in the Middle East.Since 1986, the Baders have funded the giving of the <mask>er Award in Bioinorganic or Bioorganic Chemistry by the American Chemical Society, "to recognize outstanding contributions to bioorganic or bioinorganic chemistry". Since 1989, the Baders have funded the Bader Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry given "to recognise eminence in

Personal
Bader's marriages are described in his autobiographical books.His romance in England with Isabel Overton (b. 1926), the daughter of a deeply religious Protestant family in Northern Ontario and a graduate of Victoria University in Toronto, began with a shipboard meeting in 1949 and continued in a rapid courtship and some 400 love letters. Isabel broke off the relationship because of religious concerns and settled in Bexhill-on-Sea in Sussex, England but did not become

Her love letters to <mask>er have been published as A Canadian in Love, 2000. <mask> went on to meet and marry his first wife Helen Ann "Danny" Daniels, in the United States. Similar in many ways to Isabel, including a Protestant religious upbringing, Danny converted to Judaism before Bader proposed to her. Married in July 1952, they had two sons, David (born 1958) and Daniel (born 1961).Danny worked at Aldrich Chemicals, and owned shares in the company. Nearly three decades later <mask> re-connected with Isabel, which led to the breakdown of his marriage with Danny; Danny requested a divorce in 1981 and died six years later. <mask> subsequently married Isabel and the two remained happily married until his death. <mask> and Danny's two sons, David and Daniel, now serve as half-owners of Alfred Bader Fine Arts.

<mask> (15 August 1818 - 4 April 1894) - born <mask> - was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal who served as the Archbishop of Catania from 1867 until his death. He became professed into the Order of Saint Benedict where he took "Benedetto" as his religious name. He studied under the Benedictines prior to joining them before serving as a professor in addition to prior and abbot. His elevation to the episcopate saw him distinguish himself in cholera epidemics when he tended to the ill while also remaining a strong advocate for the poor of his archdiocese. He remained a Benedictine and was known to continue to don the Benedictine habit instead of the red cardinal's regalia. His beatification was celebrated on 25 September 1988. Life

Education

<mask> was born in Palermo in 1818 as the first of six children to the nobles <mask> and Maria dei Dragonetti.His house could be traced back to Flanders in Belgium. Dusmet was baptized just hours after his birth in the archdiocesan cathedral as "<mask> Giacomo Filippo Lupo Domenico Antonio Rosolino Melchiorre Francesco di Paola Benedetto Gennaro". He would be referred to as Melchiorre at home. His siblings were:
 Marianna
 Carlo
 Tommaso
 Diomede
 Raffaele
His two maternal uncles Vincenzo and Leopoldo Dragonetti were both monks from the Order of Saint Benedict. Dusmet was educated at the San Martino delle Scales convent in Monreale from 1824. It was around this time that the Dusmet's moved to Naples and his father made him return there in 1832 since he feared exposure in the convent would mean his son would harbor the desire to follow an ecclesial path. But Dusmet returned to the school in 1834 when his father realized that he could not change his son's vocation.He would later teach philosophical and theological studies at Benedictine houses. He entered the Benedictines at Montecassino and chose the name "Benedetto" as his middle name after professing his formal vows on 15 August 1840 into the hands of Eugenio Villaraut. In preparation for his profession he went on a

 retreat where the preacher was the future cardinal Michelangelo Celesia who became his lifelong friend. Priesthood
He received the subdiaconate from Archbishop Domenico Balsamo on 11 October 1840 in the archiepiscopal palace and would later receive the diaconate from the same prelate in the same location on 15 November 1840. He was ordained to the priesthood on 18 September 1841 and had to receive a special dispensation to be ordained since he was under the canonical age requirement. In 1845 he began serving as an aide to the abbot Carlo Antonio Buglio and travelled with him as the latter made visitations to the Caltanissetta and Catania convents. The General Chapter in 1847 saw Buglio - and Dusmet accompanied him - moved to the San Flavio convent of Caltanissetta.Dusmet served as the prior for the Santi Severino e Sossio convent in Naples from 12 June 1850 until May 1852 (during the General Chapter at Montecassino) when he was named as the prior for the San Flavio convent in Caltanissetta. He held that position until 1858 when the General Chapter at Perugia named him as the abbot for the San Nicolò l'Arena convent. But he no longer could hold that position as of 15 October 1866 after the Italian kingdom was established with the state confiscating all religious properties. Episcopate and cardinalate
He was appointed Archbishop of Catania in 1867 and he received his episcopal consecration on 10 March in the Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura in Rome from Antonio Saverio De Luca. Pietro Giannelli and <mask> Papardo del Parco served as co-consecrators. Dusmet issued his first pastoral letter to the faithful on 14 March. He served as a Council Father at the First Vatican Council that Pope Pius IX had convoked.Dusmet could not assume formal possession of his episcopal see since the new political situation with the kingdom saw the government approve bishops prior to formal enthronement. The government did not grant Dusmet the "exequatur" until 1878 when he was then enthroned in Catania. Dusmet was later

 elevated to the cardinalate in 1889 with Pope Leo XIII naming him as the Cardinal-Priest of Santa Pudenziana. He did not receive the red hat and title until a week after his elevation. <mask> was close friends with the fellow Sicilian cardinal <mask> and he knew also Giuseppina Faro. <mask> was also awarded as a Grand Cross Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher and was also awarded the Gold Medal for the Benefits of Public Health on 23 November 1889 in Rome due to his efforts in aiding the ill in cholera epidemics. Death
<mask> died on 4 April 1894 at around 10:30pm and was buried in the chapel of the Confraternita dei Bianci at a funeral on 6 April that started at 10:00am and ended with his burial at 4:30pm.He had fallen ill at the beginning of 1894 and on 2 April left instructions not to be embalmed and to have a simple funeral. On 4 April attempts at artificial respiration were stopped when doctors said that <mask>'s death was imminent. His final words echoed that of Jesus Christ: "it is finished". His relics were later translated to the Catania Cathedral in May 1904. Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster - future Blessed and a Benedictine himself - unveiled a monument dedicated to <mask> in Catania in 1935. Beatification

The process for <mask>'s beatification opened in Catania in an informative phase of investigation that opened on 7 January 1931 and closed in 1937 prior theologians approving his spiritual writings on 5 February 1941. Two additional process were held with one in Turin in 1936 and another one in Montecassino from 1935 to 1937.The formal introduction to his cause came under Pope Pius XII on 2 January 1949 which titled Dusmet as a Servant of God. An apostolic process was later held in Catania from 1949 to 1951. The Congregation for Rites validated the two processes in Rome in a decree issued on 17 March 1954 and the cause passed three bodies for approval. The first was the antepreparatory congregation which assessed and approved the cause on 1 March 1960 with a second preparatory one

 meeting on 15 December 1964. The last general committee met and approved the cause not long after on 18 May 1965. The confirmation of his life of heroic virtue on 15 July 1965 led to Pope Paul VI naming <mask> as Venerable. <mask>'s beatification then depended on the papal confirmation of a miracle attributed to his intercession.One such case was investigated in Catania and sent to officials in Rome for additional assessment after the diocesan phase concluded on 7 December 1987. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the diocesan investigation and validated it on 5 March 1988 with medical experts approving (unanimous vote) the healing's miraculous nature on 1 June 1988. Theologians met (unanimous approval) on 1 July 1988 and the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. also affirmed the healing as a miracle on 19 July 1988. Papal confirmation to this miracle came from Pope John Paul II on 1 September 1988 who presided over Dusmet's beatification in Saint Peter's Square on 25 September 1988. Beatification miracle
The miracle leading to his canonization was the cure of Salvatore Consoli (18.02.1886-16.11.1971) who fell from a staircase aged 51 and contracted high fevers and acute spinal pain. He was hospitalized two months later while a month after was found to have a serious condition in which there was partial destruction of the spine.Consoli's condition worsened but appeals were made to <mask> for healing - the pain ceased and his fever disappeared with the spine restoring itself. Consoli died from stomach cancer decades after. References

<mask> (born 8 June 1975) is a Danish retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently the first team goalkeeping coach at Shrewsbury Town. He played more than 300 English league games for Burnley and West Bromwich Albion. <mask> started his career with Danish lower-league club B.93, before joining Dutch Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar in 1997. He made his senior breakthrough with West Bromwich Albion, playing a total of 50 games for the club. He joined Burnley in 2003 and played more than 300 games in all competitions, helping the club win promotion to the top-flight Premier League in 2009. Career

Early career
Born and raised in the Nørrebro quarter of Copenhagen, <mask> began playing football as a defender in the youth team of B 93.As the youth team goalkeeper lacked height, the keeper job was given to the "biggest and dumbest" player of the team, according to <mask> himself. He was a substitute to goalkeeper Jan Hoffmann at the B 93 senior team. His goalkeeping talent caught the attention of Dutch outfit AZ when he was named best goalkeeper at a youth tournament in the Netherlands. He was loaned out from Alkmaar to Danish club Hvidovre IF for eight months, while finishing his electrician education, before going to play as a full-time professional for Alkmaar in February 1998. <mask> managed one appearance in the Eredivisie championship in his time at Alkmaar, serving exclusively as a substitute for Dutch international keeper Oscar Moens. West Bromwich Albion
While waiting for his Alkmaar contract to run out, <mask> trained with Division One side West Bromwich Albion, where his imposing stature earned him the nickname "The Beast". When West Brom keeper Chris Adamson was asked to comment on <mask>, he told reporters he was "nothing but a beast".<mask> moved to West Brom for a fee of £80,000 in March 2000. He made his Albion debut on 7 March 2000 and kept a

 clean sheet in a 2–0 victory over Tranmere Rovers. He stayed at West Brom for three years, playing a total of 50 games. He helped the club survive in Division One in 1999–2000, and was a regular for much of the following season, until the arrival of Russell Hoult saw the end of <mask>'s playing time for WBA in February 2001. <mask> never re-gained a regular place, playing only one match in Albion's promotion season of 2001–02. He moved on in 2003, after West Brom were relegated, finishing 19th in the Premier League. Burnley

He joined Burnley on 30 June 2003 on a free transfer.During his first season at Burnley, he was the only goalkeeper on their books. The club avoided relegation by just two points, finishing in 19th position in the First Division. After the arrival of Danny Coyne in the summer of 2004, he found himself second choice keeper at Turf Moor, but through good form and a serious injury to Coyne he earned his place back in the starting line-up. Following impressive form in autumn 2004, <mask> criticised national team manager Morten Olsen for not having watched him play, when <mask> thought he had earned a place in the Danish national squad. After a run of performances in which <mask>'s form was found lacking by Burnley manager Steve Cotterill, goalkeeper Mike Pollitt was brought on loan to Turf Moor in January 2007. In response to being left out of the Burnley team for a match at Southampton, <mask> wanted to leave the club, and on 22 January 2007 Burnley placed him on the transfer list. However, by April of that year, <mask> had not only re-established himself as the club's first-choice but his relationship with Cotterill had improved and he was taken off the transfer list.Burnley brought in another goalkeeper, Gábor Király, before the 2007–08 season and <mask> found himself once again seemingly second choice, spending four months out of the team from mid-September.
