Life
<mask> was one of four children born to José Ignacio <mask> de Oca, a shop keeper, and María de la Luz <mask> Cabrera, an amateur painter. His three brothers include <mask> <mask>, Gabriel, and Salvador (who died as a young boy). His mother and maternal uncles who drew sketches were among his first examples of artists. His father also encouraged his creativity by providing him with materials to practice. During the 1918 flu pandemic, also known as the “Spanish flu,” his mother, María de la Luz Cabrera <mask>, fell ill and died from influenza. José Ignacio <mask> de Oca remarried and started a new family while his sisters cared for <mask> and his brothers.While in the care of their paternal aunts who often sang, played guitar, and painted, <mask> and José both took a greater interest in art. <mask> completed his primary school education. During this time he worked in his father's grocery store,

At one point he also worked for the father-in-law of José Ignacio <mask> de Oca (who was a sculptor and print maker who repaired religious images) as a printer and a bookbinder. In 1928, as a teenager, <mask> decided to move to Mexico City to pursue a career in art and teaching at the Escuela Normal Superior and also to connect with his brother, José. His father, who wanted to discourage <mask> from this decision, gave him only two pesos when <mask> asked for money to help him on his new journey.José and <mask> faced a difficult financial situation in Mexico City, having no place to sleep until granted permission by Fernando Leal to sleep at the Centro Popular de Pintura de Nonoalco where José, and eventually <mask>, took classes. After seeing monolith carvings at the Museum of Archaeology, <mask> reaffirmed his commitment to sculpture. He was also exposed to the work of Diego Rivera while visiting La Escuela Muralista. Taking experience and skill from El Centro Popular de Pintura Nonoalco, <mask> began teaching modeling and drawing at primary and secondary public schools in Mexico City. At the same time, he was working in the Department of Museology at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes where he helped rescue the work of José Guadalupe Posada. In 1940, he accepted a commission from the Department of Indian Affairs to lead an indigenous boarding school in the Sierra Tarahumara for the Tarahumara people, an experience that impassioned him to indigenous causes. After four years there, he returned to Mexico City to attend the Escuela Normal Superior (Mexico) to study and become a professor in the field of Visual Arts.He graduated in 1948 with a masters of arts

 education in the Department of Fine Arts and eventually joined the faculty to depart his knowledge of sculpture onto others. In 1968, after 33 years of teaching under the Secretaría de Educación Pública, <mask> moved back to Guanajuato to retire and dedicate himself to his sculpture. Many students sought out his advice during this time, which lead him to start teaching again in 1985, this time, at the Universidad de Guanajuato. Because the University of Guanajuato did not have appropriate facilities, <mask> instructed his students in his own studio. Between 1990 and 1993, <mask> directed the school of fine arts, improving studio facilities and making needed changes that lead to official approval of the visual arts bachelor's degree program. <mask> continued teaching until health problems (diabetes, blindness, and hearing loss) hindered his teaching and, eventually, his sculpting.

Commissioned Works

1960       Eagle heads monument

 In 1960, <mask> worked with the Secretariat of Public Education of Mexico to design and execute an educational and cultural monument that commemorated the 150th anniversary of Mexico's independence in 1910.The monument includes 260 concrete eagle heads inscribed with the word “Libertad” which Tomás supervised the casting of. The ministry installed the eagle heads at various locations along the route of Hidalgo the Liberator, or Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, who is known for “El Grito de Dolores,” the battle cry of the Mexican Independence. The route starts in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, and ends in Monte de las Cruces in the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua. "Presentan UG Libro <mask> <mask>rado: El Maestro Escultor."

<mask> (born December 31, 1982) is an American, Olympic champion cross-country skier. She has won 17 U.S. National titles, made 29 podiums on the World Cup, made five trips to the Winter Olympic Games and had the highest finish by an individual American woman at the World Championships, second in the Sprint in Liberec in 2009. She was the first American female cross-country skier to take a top ten finish in World Cup competition, to win a World Cup race and to win a World Cup discipline title. She won the silver medal in the individual sprint at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec, becoming the first American woman to win a medal in cross country skiing at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, and in 2013 teamed up with Jessie Diggins to win the first ever American FIS Nordic World Ski Championships gold medal in the team sprint. She and Diggins won the United States' first ever cross-country skiing gold medal at the Winter Olympics in women's team sprint at Pyeongchang in 2018. Early years
<mask>'s parents, Ronn and Deborah (née Haines) originally met at a California ski resort. Kikkan's name was the result of a compromise between her parents: her father wanted to name her Kikki, after Kiki Cutter, the first American to win a race on the Alpine Skiing World Cup, whilst her mother wanted to name her Meghan.Ronn started teaching Kikkan to ski one day after her first birthday. She is the niece of former cross-country skiing Olympians Betsy Haines (1980) and Chris Haines (1976). <mask> lived in Salt Lake while her mother attended law school at the University of Utah. In the mid-1980s, she moved to Anchorage, Alaska with her parents, where her younger siblings, Tanner and Kalli were born. Originally she had ambitions to race as an alpine skier, as well as to run for an NCAA Division I college. She ran a 6:06 minute mile in sixth grade at Scenic Park Elementary, but Kikkan's goal was to run

 a five minute mile by high school. Kikkan Randell wanted to attend East High school because she wanted to wear red and blue just like her mom and aunt and that lead to <mask> winning 10 state titles at East Anchorage High School — seven in track and three in cross-country running.She was announced the fastest girl on skies and she is the last Alaskan state speed-skiing champion. <mask> took up cross-country skiing in 1998, when her track coach suggested using it as a means of keeping fit during the winter. Skiing career

Early career
After completing High School in Anchorage, Alaska at Bettye Davis East High school, <mask> <mask> decided to stay in her home town, Anchorage to start her undergraduate studies and train with Alaska Pacific University Nordic Ski Center to start her new beginning. Her sixth-place finish in the sprint at the 2001 Junior World Championships was the best ever result by an American woman. <mask> made her Olympic debut as a 19-year-old at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and finished 44th in the inaugural Olympic individual sprint. In January 2006, <mask> returned to Soldier Hollow, Utah, the site of the 2002 Olympic cross-country competition, and won national titles in the 5-kilometer freestyle, the 10-km classical and the sprint. At the 2005 World Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany, she finished 30th in the individual sprint.2006–2011
At the 2006 Winter Olympics, <mask> finished ninth in the Olympic Sprint, the best ever Olympic result in cross-country skiing by an American woman. Shortly thereafter, she finished fifth in a World Cup sprint. On January 21, 2007, she captured bronze in the women's 1.2-kilometer sprint in Rybinsk, Russia, the best ever cross-country World Cup result by an American woman. Later that calendar year, in the following season, she took the first World Cup win for an American female skier since the introduction of women's competition in 1978

 in another 1.2 kilometre sprint at the same venue. Kikkan won a silver medal in February 2009, at the Nordic Skiing World Championship for the 1.3 Kilometer sprint; she was the first American to take home a World Championship medal since Bill Koch's win in 1982. In January 2010, <mask> qualified for the 2010 Winter Olympics, where she earned a US best finish of sixth in the team sprint and her best individual finish of eighth in the individual sprint event. In the 2010-11 season, she finished third in the Sprint World Cup standings.2011–2012
<mask> became the first American woman to win a World Cup discipline title in cross-country by topping the season's Sprint standings. Her season included wins in the World Cup freestyle sprints in Düsseldorf and Davos. She also finished fifth in the Overall World Cup that season. 2012–2013

<mask> won four World Cup freestyle sprint events, in Quebec, Val Mustair, Sochi, and Lahti. She also won the 3 km freestyle prologue of the Tour de Ski in Oberhof. She won a team freestyle sprint in Quebec with teammate Jessie Diggins. <mask> finished first in the final World Cup sprint standings and third in the overall standings.Third place is the highest ever by a U.S. woman. <mask>, with Diggins, won the first-ever team sprint gold for U.S. women at the World Ski Championships. 2013–2014
<mask> qualified for the U.S. Olympic team at Sochi, and went into the 2014 Winter Olympics as heavily favored to win the USA's first medal in cross-country skiing since 1976, but missed qualifying to advance in the sprint quarterfinals by .05 of a second. Subsequently, she suggested that her focus on peaking for the Olympics was disrupted by a back injury which she sustained whilst training in Davos in December 2013. <mask> topped the overall World Cup sprint standings for a third time. She won the World Cup freestyle sprint events in Nove Mesto, Szklarska Poreba, and Lahti. 2014–2015

Upon returning to competition, <mask> initially struggled, failing to advance beyond qualifying in the first two World Cup Sprint competitions of the season. However she was able to make steady progress, and in January 2017 finished fifth in a World Cup Sprint in Falun, Sweden - her best result in nearly two years. Subsequently, at the 2017 World Nordic Ski Championships in Lahti, Finland, <mask> took the bronze medal in the freestyle sprint, catching Hanna Falk in the last 100 metres to pip her for third place by 0.1 seconds, one place behind team-mate Diggins in second. 2017–2018
In December 2017 <mask> took her first World Cup podium finish in almost three years when she finished third in a sprint in Davos, Switzerland. During the 2018 Winter Olympics, she and Jessie Diggins became the first American cross-country skiers to win a gold medal by winning the women's team sprint at the Alpensia Cross-Country Centre in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

<mask> (May 9, 1939 – August 20, 2003) was a Nigerian-American anthropologist and professor known for his theories on observed phenomena involving race and intelligence, especially how race and ethnic differences played out in educational and economic achievement. He suggested that being a "caste-like minority" affects motivation and achievement, depressing IQ scores. He also concluded that some students did poorly because high achievement was considered "acting white" among their peers. <mask> was also involved in the 1996 controversy surrounding the use of African American Vernacular English in public schools in Oakland, California. The 2000 book Eminent Educators: Studies in Intellectual Influence focused on him as one of "four intellectual giants of the 20th century." Early life and education
Born in the village of Umudomi, in Onicha Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, <mask> attended Hope Waddell Training Institute and Methodist Teachers' Training College where he taught Latin, mathematics and geography. He enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary with the intention to become a minister in Nigeria, but soon transferred to the University of California, Berkeley to study anthropology.At Berkley he earned his baccalaureate in 1965, his master's degree in 1969, and his Ph.D. in 1971. He taught at UC Berkeley from 1970 until his death. Involuntary minorities
<mask> argues  that cultural differences alone cannot account for differences in minority education, since some minority communities do quite well and others do not. In addition, he observes that in some cases groups of people of the same race but located in different countries manifested different

texts: ability and/or achievement levels according to some measures. <mask> points out that there are two kinds of differences between cultures. There are primary differences, which existed before cultures came into contact with each other. Then, there are secondary differences, which come into existence when two cultures interact with each other.He says that many of these secondary differences are created by subordinate groups in opposition to the cultural references of the dominant group. In the U.S. context, <mask> concluded that among U.S. Americans there are "voluntary minorities" (groups of immigrants who chose to come to the United States, and their descendants) versus "involuntary" or "caste-like" minorities (descendants of groups of persons who found themselves in the United States, or under United States jurisdiction, against their will). Voluntary minorities (e.g. Korean-Americans) tend to manifest non-oppositional secondary differences with the dominant culture. On the other hand, involuntary minorities (e.g. Native Americans) tend to manifest oppositional secondary differences with the dominant culture. However, both voluntary non-oppositional cultural subjects and involuntary oppositional cultural subjects are required to adhere to dominant (white) American cultural frames of reference if they want to acquire upward social mobility.In Minority Education and Caste (1978), <mask> argued that involuntary minorities often adopted an oppositional identity to the mainstream culture in response to a glass ceiling imposed or maintained by white society on the job-success of their parents and others in their communities. Therefore, he reasoned, some non-whites

texts:
 "failed to observe the link between educational achievement and access to jobs." Often, the oppositional culture/identity created by the involuntary minority involves the incorporation of attitudes, behaviors, and speech styles that are stigmatized by the dominant group, which, of course, precludes those who adopt the manifestations of the oppositional culture from external success in the dominant culture. When immigrant minorities (voluntary minorities) acquire the language of the dominant culture, it is seen as an addition to the first language (non-oppositional primary differences). However, when nonimmigrant minorities (involuntary minorities) acquire the language of the dominant culture, it is the negation of their oppositional culture, and thus their cultural reality. Acting white
In 1986 Signithia Fordham co-authored, along with Ogbu, a study which concluded that some African American students in a Washington, D.C., high school did not live up to their academic potential because of the fear of being accused of "acting white." <mask> further echoed these findings in his 2003 book Black American Students in an Affluent Suburb: A Study of Academic Disengagement (which summarized his nine-month research on the educational gap between white and African-American students in the Shaker Heights City School District located in the upscale Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, Ohio).His book presents a cultural-ecological theory which highlights two sets of factors that shape minority students’ academic performance: 1) the system (the way society and institutions have historically treated and do treat minorities) and 2) community forces (how minorities respond to


texts:
 and interpret their treatment, which is highly dependent upon their unique history and minority status in America). He concluded that these students' cultural attitudes hindered their own academic achievement and that these attitudes are too often neglected by parents, educators and/or policymakers. Though the study's conclusions gained a popular foothold and have been espoused by such noted figures as Bill Cosby, a later study obtained different results. In 2003, Karolyn Tyson, a sociologist, and William Darity Jr, an economist, both at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, directed an 18-month study at eleven North Carolina schools which found that white and black students have essentially the same attitudes about scholastic achievement; students in both groups want to succeed in school and show higher levels of self-esteem when they do better in school. The results of this study have been published in a book by Stanford sociologist Prudence Carter

A 2006 study titled An Empirical Analysis of "Acting White" by Roland G. Fryer, Jr. at Harvard University and Paul Torelli suggested that the phenomenon has a statistically significant effect on black student achievement, but only in certain school contexts. In public schools with high interracial contact and among high achieving students, there was an effect, but there was little or no effect in predominantly black or private schools. African American Vernacular English

In 1996, Ogbu played a prominent role in the debate about the utility of African American Vernacular English.As a member of a task force on African American education in Oakland, California he noted that linguists (e.g., William Labov,


texts:
 <mask>, Walt Wolfram, and others) have long distinguished between the "standard" or "proper" English required in the classroom and black vernacular English spoken at home and with peers. Ogbu encouraged teachers to become familiar with and to make use of this variety (called "Ebonics" by the Oakland Unified School District) in helping speakers of African American Vernacular English acquire Standard American English in addition to their "home" variety.

<mask> (born 1936), also known as Aunty <mask>, is a Ngugi elder of one of the three groups of Quandamooka people in Moreton Island, Queensland, Australia. She is the first Indigenous person appointed to the National Catholic Education Commission, and has brought Indigenous issues to the forefront at the United Nations and International Interfaith Forums. Hendriks is an elder at the Cleveland Murri Court. She is also a Catholic theologian and has written extensively on the conjunction of Aboriginal spirituality and Christianity. Biography

Early life
<mask> was born in 1936 in Brisbane, Queensland, and raised in the suburb of Bulimba. She is the eldest of four children, with her mother being an Aboriginal woman, and her father of Irish-American descent. Hendriks attended Saints Peter and Paul’s Catholic Primary School in Bulimba as a young girl, and in 1947 she began studying at Lourdes Hill College in Brisbane, Queensland, which she was later appointed as an elder in residence.Her mother was part of one of the first Aboriginal groups in Queensland, Australia to be moved to a mission station on Stradbroke Island, Australia. Growing up, Hendriks struggled with balancing the two different cultures of which she was a member: Christianity and Aboriginal spirituality. Alongside this, Hendriks struggled to live as a daughter of a mixed-race marriage and witnessed the segregation of her parents from the Catholic church. As an Aboriginal woman, Hendriks felt as though her early life was dominated by Western ideals and social constructs, and sought her connection to her Aboriginality through her mother and Stradbroke Island. Marriage and children
Hendriks is married with four children. Education
Hendriks completed a degree at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia in the 1980s. She began her PhD in Theology at age 68.In a Western society this seems late to begin studying, but in her Aboriginal culture it is appropriate as with age comes wisdom, balance and trust. She graduated in 2008 and is currently completing her doctorate at the

 Australian Catholic University. Work
In the past, Hendriks has presented many workshops at primary schools, secondary schools, churches, local community organisations, and universities on the borderlands between Christianity and Aboriginal spirituality. In the 1980s she worked in the field of Aboriginal Education and Reconciliation and Justice for the Indigenous peoples of Australia. In 2004 she spoke internationally at the United Nations Indigenous Peoples Forums. She has also spoken at the United Nations Interfaith Forums on Aboriginal spirituality and Christianity. She has previously worked with Gerald Hall, a theologian and Catholic priest.He is now her mentor and friend. She currently works at the Australian Catholic University where she is a sessional lecturer in both the Diploma in Indigenous Education and the Bachelor of Primary Education (Indigenous Studies). As a sign of respect, many people - including her students - call her Aunty <mask>. Her work remains an important aspect in her life as she uses it as a forum for discussion between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians without resentment or tension. Philosophical and/or political views
Hendriks was raised with a Catholic background and continues to practice Christianity. She uses her spirituality to pave the way for other Christian Aboriginal Australians and continues to teach others how to find a balance between the two, speaking of both having equal parts of her soul. Hendriks promotes acceptance and understanding, believing that we should listen to one another’s stories to acknowledge, accept and move through past experiences.Hendriks values family greatly, stating that “ your family and where you come from creates a powerful interactive process that realizes an interconnected relationship with the great spirit of our dreaming”. Published Works
Hendriks published many works alone and with others, as well as participated as a special guest in media projects. In 2006, Hendriks published Moving the Way Forward on the Australasian Catholic Record.

<mask> (19 September 1923 – 19 August 1999), was a Venezuelan guitarist and composer. He wrote a vital and important body of works for the guitar, inspired by and dedicated to the rich musical legacy of his region in the Lara state (Capital city: Barquisimeto) in Western Venezuela, displaying a loving nationalism that led him to be associated with the work of Antonio Lauro but with a technique that is more accessible to beginners and intermediate guitar players. He was also an important educator of the classical guitar. Many guitarists active today studied with him in the 1980s and 1990s. Lastly, he had an important career as a concert guitarist, but his recordings are relatively scarce and hard to find. Biography

Family and youth
<mask> was born in the township of Barrio Nuevo, in the city of Carora, in the state of Lara, in midwestern Venezuela. His father, Juan Teodosio Querales, was a music teacher.He grew up with his mother, Paula Antonia <mask> and his five older siblings. In addition to his music talent, <mask> inherited a congenital foot defect from his father. Despite this, he was able to have a normal childhood, even excelling in certain sports and physical activities. Like many other Venezuelan musicians, his first instrument was the cuatro and his first teachers were his peers and his own will. His first public recital took place in Carora at age thirteen. In 1937 he moved to Barquisimeto to look for

 better opportunities. In 1939, he was part of a guitar and vocal group called "Hermanos Riera" (founded by his brother Ruben).That year, he met fellow Carora guitarist Alirio Díaz, who wasn't planning to have a career in music at the time. In 1941, he and his group travelled to Caracas for a series of radio presentations. During that trip, he met guitarists Antonio Lauro and Manuel Enrique Perez Díaz, both fellow students of Raúl Borges. Lauro was so impressed with Riera's playing, that he wrote a letter recommending him to his teacher. Life's circumstances made it difficult for Riera to start studies under Borges until 1945. Studying under Raúl Borges
In September 1945, Riera's and Alirio Díaz' paths crossed again, this time at the footsteps of the Escuela de Música de Caracas to meet and audition for the guitar classes of Raúl Borges. They graduated in 1949 with the highest of grades.In March of that year, they were introduced to Andrés Segovia, who was visiting Venezuela at the time. Segovia was impressed enough with the pair, because he invited them to his master classes that were to start the following year in Siena, Italy. Studies in Europe
Despite their obvious qualities as promising guitarists, it took some time for Díaz and <mask> to establish themselves in Europe. <mask> started his studies in the Real Conservatorio de Música y Declamación in Madrid in 1952. He obtained a "First Class Diploma" in 1953.

 In this year, he started his career as a classical guitar performer. During the Summer of 1954, he was able to attend Segovia's master classes at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena.Segovia led him to perfect his already highly developed technique. It was generally accepted that both he and Díaz were above average in terms of technique and repertoire. Furthermore, they renewed the rather stale (at the time) guitar repertoire, by bringing to Europe the works of important Latin-American composers, which were largely unknown at the time. Graduation and concert tours
In 1954, <mask> married Julia Esteban Esteban in Spain and established Madrid as his main place of residence. They had four children together, all of whom were to become musicians: María Josefina, Rubén, Andrés Raúl and Juan José. The second half of the 1950s was spent touring Europe and Venezuela, playing the repertoire that Segovia had established, as well as the works of Latin-American composers such as the aforementioned Lauro, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Agustín Barrios Mangoré, Manuel Ponce, Vicente Emilio Sojo and his old master, Raúl Borges. During those touring years, he started introducing his own pieces in his repertoire.<mask> also performed many guitar duo concerts with his friend Alirio Díaz. In 1956, the two recorded an LP of popular Latin American pieces under a pseudonym to avoid incurring the wrath of Segovia, who frowned at the popular

 repertoire for the guitar (the album was released as El Uno y El Otro i.e. "One and the Other"). New York: the consolidation of a triple career
In 1962, Venezuelan writer and composer Conny Méndez invited Riera to stage a concert in New York, where she was residing. The recital was very successful in a city which, although traditionally is rich in culture, was thirsty for good classical guitar. <mask> ended up staying for years, consolidating his triple career as composer, concert guitarist and teacher. During those years, <mask> composed many important works, the best known today being the Preludio Criollo, which is a required piece in the guitar syllabi in Europe and the Americas.He also composed the prelude Elorac which features a very daring harmonic structure and style that predates the works of modern guitar composers such as Leo Brouwer, Roland Dyens and Carlo Domeniconi. <mask> also performed many times on different stages and concert halls in the U.S. East Coast both as a solo guitarist and as featured soloist with an orchestra. <mask> was a popular member of New York's Society of the Classic Guitar. He frequented Mirko's Restaurant, a salon frequented by luminaries of the New York guitar scene, namely Vladimir Bobri, Gregory d'Alessio, and Segovia's inner circle. Known as the leading improviser on the classic guitar he created spontaneous accompaniments to many standard etudes. <mask> collaborated with

The work, Viva Vivaldi, remains a mainstay in the Joffrey repertoire.The return to Venezuela: Self-realization as educator
In 1969 he decided to move back to Venezuela with his family. He established himself in Barquisimeto, in 1971, where he created a music studies program for the Universidad Centro Occidental Lisandro Alvarado. Additionally, in the summer months, he opened a teaching practice similar to what he had experienced in Siena. In 1971, he ran the first Curso Internacional de Guitarra between July 1 and August 30. Many Venezuelan and foreign-born guitarists attended. The last one took place in 1991. Last years
He spent his last years composing and teaching further.His presence was often a cherished sight at guitar festivals in Caracas and other cities, where he held informal meetings and fraternal conversations with other guitarists of fame, like Alirio Díaz, Leo Brouwer, David Russell, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, and of course his many pupils, several of which are now celebrities. A composer's competition was established bearing his name. <mask> died in Barquisimeto on August 9, 1999. Guitar works

 minuets, when we don't have that kind of music [in Latin America]." Therefore, his compositions are a reflection of the music that was popular in the early 20th century. He wrote valses, danzas, joropos, golpes, gaitas, merengues and even a few choros.Most popular pieces
<mask>'s compositions are not easy to catalog or categorize, as there is a copious assortment of notable compositions from his years in Spain, like Choro (1960). Merengue Venezolano (1962), Serenata Ingenua (1963), and Canción Caroreña (1964); from his years in New York, as Preludio Criollo (1963), Elorac, (1964), A Venezuelan triptych - Melancolía, Monotonía, Nostalgia (1968), Golpe al Diablo de Carora (1969); and those compositions he created in Venezuela, the most popular of which are: Chorinho, Homenaje a la Chicachagua, Pajarillo con Revoltillo (1980s), and Suite Popular - Homage to Maestro Antonio Lauro (1990). Complete list of works

Disclaimer: Though fairly accurate, this list may prove to be confusing (especially to the non-fluent in Spanish language) due to several reasons: first, <mask> was not so prolific at inventing names for his compositions as he was at creating music, so there are many repeated names corresponding to distinct compositions; second, the names that he chose consist mostly of the genre of the piece, which adds to the confusion: i.e., Estudio (étude), Preludio (prélude), and Valse (waltz) were his favorite words for

 chronobiologist, <mask> is known for his use of luciferase reporters for the purpose of studying plant circadian biology. <mask> began experimenting with the firefly luciferase reporter gene as a graduate student at The Rockefeller University.In 1992, <mask> and colleagues fused the Arabidopsis cab2 promoter and the firefly luciferase gene to establish a real-time reporter for circadian-regulated gene expression in plants. <mask> tracked the rhythm of transcription from the cab2 promoter using a low-light video imaging system which tracks luciferase bioluminescence. <mask> hypothesized that this model could be used to isolate mutants in the plant circadian clock. In 1995, <mask> and colleagues used this luciferase model to identify mutant Arabidopsis plants with abnormal cycling patterns. <mask>'s group found cab2 expression to oscillate with a shorter period in toc1 mutant plants compared to wild type plants. These methods and discoveries were published in and featured on the cover of Science magazine in February 1995. <mask>'s luciferase experiments have contributed immensely to the current understanding of the circadian clock in plants.Specifically, <mask>'s work in 1995 and 2012 have been integral in the development of the repressilator model in plants. Role of ELF3 and ELF4
With Kay's group, Millar identified roles for the ELF3 and ELF4 genes in the plant circadian system. Plants with loss-of-function mutations in elf3 exhibited arrhythmicity in constant light conditions but not in constant darkness, suggesting that elf3 was necessary for proper control of the clock by light. Additionally, <mask> and colleagues showed that

texts:
 ELF3 and its paralog ELF4 are necessary for the proper rhythmic expression of two other important genes involved in the plant circadian clock, Circadian Clock Associated 1 (CCA1) and Late Elongated Hypocotyl (LHY). These early efforts greatly contributed to efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying the function of the plant circadian oscillator. ELF3 and ELF4 have been shown to be important mediators of light input into the plant circadian oscillator. The mechanisms underlying the oscillator's function, specifically the full extent of "ELF3" and "ELF4"'s interactions with other parts of the clock, are an active area of research.Evolutionary biology of plant circadian clocks
In 2005, <mask> and his colleagues discovered how plant circadian clocks increase photosynthesis and growth, thereby offering a selective advantage. First, they compared the survivability of wild-type Arabidopsis, which has a circadian period of about 24 hours, when grown in a 20-hour, then 24-hour, and lastly 28-hour light-dark cycle. Then they examined long (28-hour) and short (20-hour) period mutants grown in light-dark cycles that were similar to, or dissimilar from, their endogenous clock periods. In all three strains, leaves contained more chlorophyll when the period of the plant matched that of the environment. Additionally, both short and long period mutants fixed around 40% more carbon when exogenous periods matched their endogenous rhythms, consistent with the hypothesis of circadian resonance. <mask>'s experiments demonstrated one possible mechanism that has selected for circadian clock function during plant evolution.

 <mask> and colleagues quantitatively explained and predicted canonical phenotypes of circadian timing in a multicellular, model organism.The research team used metabolic and physiological data to combine and extend mathematical models of rhythmic gene expression, photoperiod-dependent flowering, elongation growth, and starch metabolism within a framework model for Arabidopsis. The model predicted the effect of altered circadian timing upon particular phenotypes in clock-mutant plants. Whole-plant growth rate decreased, which was attributed to altered night-time metabolism of stored starch in addition to altered mobilisation of secondary stores of organic acids. Positions

<mask>,  (born 29 September 1954) is an American-born Australian former professional basketball player and coach. He has been an integral part of the National Basketball League (NBL) since its inception. <mask> won an NBL championship with the Brisbane Bullets in 1985, was a two-time member of the All-NBL First Team while playing for the Geelong Supercats and was named NBL Coach of the Year while he was a player-coach for the Supercats in 1982. He also won a second NBL championship while coaching the Perth Wildcats in 1990. As a result, <mask> became one of the first inductees into the NBL Hall of Fame when it opened in 1998. Originally an American import, <mask> became a naturalised Australian in 1983. He renounced his American citizenship to play for the Australia men's national basketball team in 1986.<mask>'s son, C. J., played in the NBL and became successful in his own right. Professional career
<mask> was a basketball playground legend from Jamaica, Queens in New York City. <mask> played his high school basketball at Springfield Gardens. Bruton attended Wichita State University on a basketball scholarship and as a senior was first team all Missouri Valley Conference on an NCAA Tournament Team and was rated as one of the top point guards in the nation despite being only  tall. <mask> was one of the first imports to play in the NBL, joining the Brisbane Bullets for the inaugural 1979 NBL season. <mask> led all scorers in the NBL's first year, averaging over 33.2 points per game. <mask> later joined the Geelong Supercats in 1982 as a playing coach where he would win the NBL Coach of the Year in his first season.During his tenure with the Supercats, <mask> was also named to the All-NBL First Team in 1983 and 1984. As coach of Geelong, <mask> led the team

In their 15 seasons of NBL competition from 1982 to 1996, this would prove to be Geelong's only NBL Grand Final appearance. <mask> rejoined the Bullets in 1985 and helped them to their first NBL championship with a 121–95 win over the Adelaide 36ers. This success was followed in 1986 when the naturalised <mask> represented the Australian Boomers at the 1986 FIBA World Championship in Spain. After returning from Spain Bruton helped the Bullets into their fourth straight Grand Final where they would again face the Adelaide 36ers. For 1986 the NBL had extended the Grand Final to a best-of-three series.Game 1 was played in front of a record crowd of 11,000 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and saw a 122–119 win for Adelaide in overtime saw them overwhelming favourites (the 36ers had gone 24–2 during the season) to go home and wrap up the championship at the Apollo Stadium where they had an imposing 14–0 record up until that point of the season (and in fact had not lost since June 1985, a streak of 20 straight home wins). Brisbane, led by <mask> with 38 points, Ron Radliff and Larry Sengstock, stunned the 36ers with a 104–83 win to force a third and deciding game just two days later. Bruton's best friend off the court also happened to be Adelaide's point guard Al Green who was also a native of New York. The two, best friends off the court but the fiercest of rivals on it, had a running battle in Game 3 with Green eventually coming out on top leading Adelaide to a 113–91 victory for the 36ers' first NBL title. <mask> led all scorers, averaging 30.0 points, plus he had 3.3 assists per game over the Grand Final series.

texts: Following the 1986 Grand Final series, <mask> had a public falling out with Bullets coach Brian Kerle and was sacked from the club under controversial circumstances. He was immediately snapped up as playing coach of perennial easy-beats the Perth Wildcats for the 1987 NBL season and immediately set about building a championship contending team.He recruited two players who would become stars with the Wildcats,  centre/power forwards James Crawford (a teammate of Bruton's at Geelong in 1982 known as the "Alabama Slamma" for his dunking ability) and former Harlem Globetrotter Kendal "Tiny" Pinder. As playing coach of the Wildcats Bruton built a team to beat the reigning NBL champions, the Adelaide 36ers. His plan paid off when the Wildcats defeated Adelaide 2–1 in the semi-finals (both wins were on Adelaide's home court were the 36ers had only lost twice during the season). Perth were unable to overcome Bruton's old team Brisbane and went down 2–0 in the Grand Final series. Bruton played three seasons in Perth (two of which he shared playing and coaching duties), before becoming the head coach in 1990 in somewhat controversial circumstances. Alan Black was the head coach for the Wildcats at the beginning of the 1990 season, but after only two matches he was replaced by Bruton. Despite this eventful start to the season Bruton guided the Wildcats to its first NBL championship when they defeated the Brisbane Bullets (still coached by Kerle) 2–1 in the Grand Final series.<mask> himself was replaced the following year by Murray Arnold. <mask> sat out the 1991 NBL season, but returned in 1992 with another of the NBL's perennial easy-beats, the Hobart Devils. This would again later result in <mask> becoming the head coach for the Devils in their final season in 1996.

 In the 1999–2000 NBL season, <mask> once again returned to coaching, this time for the Canberra Cannons. Like with the Hobart Devils, the Cannons were in financial difficulty at the time and their future was looking bleak. The 2002–03 season saw the financial difficulties of the Cannons reaching boiling point and it was announced their license would be sold. This series of events resulted in <mask> quitting the Cannons and not following the club in their move to Newcastle as the Hunter Pirates.During the 2006–07 NBL season, <mask> was signed as interim head coach of the West Sydney Razorbacks, taking over in the middle of the season though he wasn't retained as coach for 2007–08. Bruton now also helps out coaching for junior teams in his spare time, as a role model to the junior basketball players. He was also once in a celebrity episode of 1980s gameshow It's a Knockout where he dressed in a horse suit alongside Big Sports Breakfast co-host and journalist Terry Kennedy. Bruton was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the 2021 Australia Day Honours, for "For service to basketball as a player and coach." Honour roll

<mask> (d. March 2018), nicknamed "The Snail" (sometimes "Schnoz"), was an American drag racer. <mask> raced Fuel Altereds and Funny Cars, and briefly in wheelstanders,  as well as serving as crew chief for several top teams. Personal life
<mask> was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma and was raised in Northern California. <mask> was easy-going and fun-loving, friendly with Willie Borsch, <mask>, Rich Guasco, and John "Tarzan" Austin, and long-time friends with Pat Galvin. While generous with tools and equipment, even to competitors, he was also extremely hard-working and focused in dealing with his racing. He was married to Brenda, and lived near Dallas, Texas. <mask> died after a prolonged illness.Career
In 1955, he began racing, starting with a C/G ‘41 Chevrolet coupé gassers. He moved up to fuel cars in 1959, running a rear-engined coupé. He returned to the gas classes in 1960, at the wheel of a dragster, before taking the wheel of car owner Woody Parker's Top Fuel dragster (TF/D) in 1962. That car was built by Pete Ogden, who also built the Pure Hell Fuel Altered (AA/FA) for Rich Guasco. When Don Petrich quit the Pure Hell team in 1965, <mask> replaced him, and stayed five seasons; he frequently match raced his friend "Wild Willie" Borsch. It was while driving Pure Hell he met D. Gannt, who was a crewman for Borsch, during that time. Pure Hell was entered in a 1968 showdown event between Funny Cars and Altereds at OCIR; <mask> won the event.A week later, he recorded a  pass, on his way to winning the Hot Rod Magazine Championships at Riverside Raceway (and bettering  Borsch's  pass of the year before), a speed no Altered would surpass that season. After Pure Hell was wrecked, Guasco fielded a Pure Hell Funny Car; <mask> denies ever driving the car, though some sources say he did. Of his time with

 Guasco's team, <mask> said, “Driving the Pure Hell was the most fun of anything I ever did. There was no money to be made doing it, but we did it because we liked racing.”

From Guasco's AA/FA team, <mask> went to the fuel slingshot of the Rousin-O’Hare team in 1970, where he spent six months and won TF/D at DIMS. His next ride was in partnership with Gary Watson on the Flying Red Baron wheelstander Mustang, which he helped build—and crashed. After the rollover, <mask> refused to drive it again, believing "it was too much of a clown deal"

<mask> first encountered "Waterbed Fred" Miller, with whom he would continue to associate for more than fifty years, when <mask> and Gannt came into Bob Riggle's Mansfield, Ohio, shop with Flying Red Baron. Delivering Don and Roy Gay’s Infinity to Riggle, who had just purchased the funny car, led to <mask> driving for the new owner.Riggle owned the famous Hemi Under Glass wheelstander, and gave <mask> his first Funny Car ride. <mask> later worked for Sam Harris at Chaparral trailers. Starting a Funny Car team in 1973, Jeg Coughlin, Sr. hired <mask> to drive for him; he was joined by Gantt (then on Willie Borsch's crew) and Miller. Coughlin's Chevrolet Camaro won the IHRA national event at Bristol that year, taking a win over Pat Foster in Barry Setzer's Vega. <mask> won Funny Car at Le Grandnational at Sanair in 1973, defeating Frank Mancuso in the final. At the U.S. Nationals, <mask> qualified #10, and was eliminated in round one by #2 qualifier "Jungle Jim" Liberman. The same month, he won the IHRA All American Nationals at Bristol Motor Speedway, defeating top qualifier Raymond Beadle in the final, and lost to Foster at the IHRA U.S. Open at North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina.He also reached the final round in the 1973 Supernationals at

"Moogoo$e" McEwen, though successful as a match racer, had yet to win his first NHRA national event; his 1973 Duster qualified #17 and only made the field at all after Bobby Rowe could not race. <mask> reached the semifinal (having recorded a best pass of 6.28), where he faced Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, who was eager to face teammate McEwen. Going to the staging lights, <mask> had a fuel line fitting leaking at one injector, but hoped it would survive the pass. Instead, the supercharger exploded and the body blew off the chassis, flipping the car over and slamming into the hay bales at the end of the strip. Replacing the destroyed one with a new, lighter body (<mask> always passionate about weight reduction), qualifying #6, the team defeated "Snake" Prudhomme and <mask>e, to meet the 1973 Vega of Frank Hall in the final, and win Funny Car, at the Winternats in 1974,  taking home a purse of US$13,800.When Coughlin stopped touring with his team, the <mask> and Gannt combination provided two wins at NHRA national events that year before Coughlin decided to quit racing to focus on his mail order business. <mask> quit in a disagreement over pay, and went back to Chaparral. <mask> briefly drove the Vega, owned by Fuel Altered racers Leroy Chadderton and Glen Okazaki (the car later raced in Britain as Gladiator), turning in one pass at 6.99 with the car on fire, after a valve lifter failure. At the 1975 IHRA World Nationals, <mask> qualified Gene "Snowman" Snow's Vega #5, only to be eliminated in the first round by #1 qualifier (and eventual event winner) <mask>e. In 1976 and 1977, <mask> and “Big Mike” Burkhart worked together, making the final at the first ever NHRA Cajun Nationals, where <mask>

The duo also had peculiarly bad luck against McEwen. <mask> wrecked Burkhart’s silver Camaro fuel funny car at the 1977 U.S. Nationals.Though track marshals had to cut him from the car, <mask> suffered only a broken bone in his left arm, which was pierced by the lever of the fuel shut-off valve. It proved to be his last race. The day after his 1977 wreck, <mask> returned to the track with his arm in a cast, and was offered the chance to tune the Blue Max, which had been in the left lane the day before, by Beadle; <mask> hesitated to accept, having only ever tuned his own cars before that. When Beadle also offered to let <mask> work as a substitute driver, he accepted. He eventually joined the team and, working with Miller and Gannt, <mask> drove Blue Max, hired by Beadle (on behalf of car owner and team tuner Harry Schmidt). <mask> transformed the troubled team into one "that dominated Funny Car in the late 1970s and 1980s". 1978 was a difficult year for <mask>.The Blue Max had been a top ten car three years running before that, but suffered persistent fuel system difficulties, keeping the car from even doing successful burnouts, for most of a year. When that was cured, Blue Max promptly won at Seattle, Boise, and Kansas City. Qualifying for the 1978 Nattionals, the team recorded their first five-second pass, a 5.98, making Beadle just the second driver in the fives. They closed 1978 by defeating Tom "Mongoo$e" McEwen at the World Finals. This was precursor to winning NHRA's Funny Car championship the next three seasons in a row. In 1979, <mask> tuned Blue Max to final round finishes at the Winternationals, Springnationals, and  Mile-High Nationals, and wins at the Summernationals and Fallnationals, just edging out Don Prudhomme. Blue Max took three event wins and two final-round

 finishes in 1980, easily beating Billy Meyer, and capped a victorious 1981 season with a win at NHRA's most prestigious event, the U.S. Nats.Beadle's increasing attention on NASCAR left the Blue Max suffering, though <mask> tuned the car, driven by "Lil' John" Lombardo, to a win at Indy in 1985; it was eventually sold in 1990. Following the sale of Blue Max, <mask> opened Dale Emery Fuel Systems, to provide fuel pumps and fuel injectors for nostalgia drag racing teams, as well a small number of existing teams. By 2012, he was supplying a Blue Max nostalgia funny car team. Incidents
<mask> survived a couple of frightening incidents. While driving Pure Hell at Fremont Dragstrip, an improperly fastened steering wheel came off the steering column, and the car ended up in a flooded ditch, upside down, forcing him to hold his breath until the car could be righted. While racing at the 1977 U.S. Nationals, Burkhart's silver Camaro fuel funny car got out of shape, veering toward the centerline (reminiscent of an Altered), then swerved toward the guardrail and abruptly stood on its nose, something never seen before or since (through 2012), rotating along the rail two or three times before coming to rest. Though track marshals had to cut him from the car, <mask> suffered only a broken bone in his left arm, which was pierced by the lever of the fuel shut-off valve.It proved to be his last race. Talent
Besides being a driver, <mask> was a skilled innovator and engineer, able to conceive and build parts when needed, including the team's first sixteen-plug heads, as well as a revival of an old idea, dual magnetos. His ability to innovate, and to build from scratch, has been compared to Dick LaHaie, Alan Johnson, Tim Richards, Austin Coil, and Don Garlits. References

<mask> (Phil<mask> is a Canadian rock singer, composer and guitarist. Early life
<mask> became interested in music from a very early age. He played the saxophone in the school band from 4th to 9th grades, His first major influences were seeing Ricky Nelson on "The Adventures of Ozzie And Harriet" and The Beatles first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964. He didn't start playing guitar until autumn of 1966. He took lessons, and watched how other people played, whether live or on TV, and he listened to a lot of different music. Clinic

Beginnings
At the end of his junior year in high school, <mask> moved with his family to Paris, and from 1969 to 1970 attended The American School of Paris. It was in Paris that <mask> met Phil Steele, then known as Phil Trainer.He was a 22- or 23-year-old bass player and vocalist, and he "raided" <mask>'s high school rock band, taking Phil on guitar, Gerry Murphy on drums, and flute player Chris Hayward. Steele had previously played in Japan and Italy and knew British keyboard player Alan Reeves, then 25 or 26, because Reeves had played in a band called Clinic in both countries, and Phil Steele did some Clinic gigs in Italy. They put together a five-piece band, and because they were British-American, and had some music industry connections, they immediately got signed to a production company, and subsequently were signed to EMI in France. The Road to Salina
After signing with EMI France, Reeves' fashion model wife, Albane Navizet, took a bit part in a French film by director Georges Lautner called Road to Salina. Lautner already had French pop singer Christophe on board for a few songs, and some orchestral stuff, but wanted some rock music for his film. He originally wanted Pink Floyd, then popular in Europe though virtually unknown in the U.S., but they were

 not available, so Clinic got a demo tape together and Albane gave it to Georges Lautner. He liked what he heard.By mostly luck, Clinic were in the right place at the right time, and got the nod to work on the soundtrack. Since the songs were being written individually by Steele, Reeves, or <mask>, or in some combination, they decided to say that all songs were <mask>-Steele, to avoid arguments over which songs got shown to the film people. Early recordings
Some of the seven songs used in the film were written before they saw the sections of film the director wanted music for, but luckily they fit. In a few cases, such as for example "The Chase", they were brand new compositions and really was a collaborative effort between the writers. They were very young when they got the chance to write music for Road to Salina, mostly in their late teens, or early 20s, and young, as in the band had not been together very long. By the time they got to do their own album, Now We're Even (recorded in 1971, released in 1972 in France), they had more of a style, similar to Santana on instruments meeting Crosby, Stills and Nash on vocals. When they were either writing new tunes specifically for the movie, or trying to find songs that fit from songs various Clinic members had written before, they were still trying to find a sound.Forming a sound
Phil Steele was more of a pop guy, influenced by The Hollies, or The Turtles or The Zombies. Alan Reeves had learned jazz piano by his father's side when he was a boy, and had become quite the Hammond organ player, à la Jon Lord from Deep Purple, or Keith Emerson of The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Chris Hayward had studied classical music for flute and recorder. Gerry Murphy was a jazz fan but was also the kind of guy that turned everybody on to The Band. <mask> was coming at

 music like a singer-songwriter, like Donovan or James Taylor or Neil Young, although since Clinic, other musicians think of him more as a rock lead guitarist. Bringing all of those influences together was exciting for the young band, but it took them a long time to figure out how it might all fit. The Chase
"The Chase" was put together initially as a jam thing that they wrote specifically for Road to Salina, as opposed to some of the other tunes in that film that were written before it, and they just happened to fit.<mask> started playing "The Chase" by spontaneously playing the guitar riff that opens the tune. Alan Reeves played some rock/classical organ on top of it. At one point, they go to another section with four sustained chords which Alan Reeves came up with, just to get some relief from the repetitiveness of the riff. Scoring a movie
<mask> was a senior in high school when Clinic did the soundtrack, and he never saw the totally completed film until later. They would be shown say 1:03 minute's worth of film, and told "put some music of such-and-such type here". When the movie came out, even at age 19, Phil was a little embarrassed at how bad the quality of the production was. The movie was neither a commercial or critical success, but <mask>, Reeves & Trainer all did receive royalties, as the three songwriters from 1972 to 1988.So, while Road to Salina is admittedly "low budget", <mask> feels that if he never took part in it, he would never have gotten a writing credit years later for the Quentin Tarantino film, Kill Bill Volume 2. Back in the United States
After Clinic, <mask> came to Boston, Massachusetts to go to the Berklee College of Music. He went on to play in scores of bands, duos, and so forth in the local Boston area. In 1981, along with his then-wife Anne English, he co-wrote and

 recorded a song that made Boston FM-radio Station WCOZ Best of the Boston Beat Volume 2 album. The duo got some nibbles from A&M Records, but ultimately were passed over. Television Scoring
<mask> has enjoyed some success with original instrumentals placed on television between 1990 and the present: an NBC Sunday night made-for-TV movie called Condition Critical and an ABC Sunday night movie, I Saw What You Did, starring Rosanna Arquette. Also Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake, 20/20, Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete & Pete and Lifetime's Intimate Portrait, with Stefanie Powers.Kill Bill
At first <mask> had no idea "The Chase", from his time with Clinic scoring Road to Salina, was going to be in a Tarantino film. When he found out, he was guessing that Tarantino saw Road to Salina and remembered the parts of it that are kind of impressive, the desert cinematography, for example. In Road to Salina, they play "The Chase" for the first time in a scene not unlike the way "The Chase" is used in Kill Bill Volume 2, with a car speeding across the desert on its way somewhere. Phil later discovered more about how "The Chase" music got in Kill Bill Volume 2. "It turns out that Julie Dreyfus, who plays Sofie Fatale in Kill Bill, knew that Quentin Tarantino was looking for music, and her father, Francis Dreyfus had the rights to quite a lot of soundtrack music, including Road to Salina. The soundtrack called "La Route De Salina" was re-released, on CD by Dreyfus Records in 2003. Curiously, there's at least one Clinic song, "Come On Come On" that's in the movie, but not on the LP, and vice versa.A song called "Jacqueline" is on the LP but not in the movie." - <mask>, March 22, 2005

 attributed largely to African-American voters' outrage over the 1969 police killings of Black Panther Party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark under Hanrahan's leadership. Hanrahan had also been facing charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice relating to these killings until being acquitted the day before the general election.Hanrahan had won the Democratic Party's primary, and thereby its nomination, despite the Cook County Democratic Party, led by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, refusing to back his bid for reelection and supporting a primary challenger to him. <mask>'s campaign was managed by Don Rose. <mask> won most of Chicago's black wards, which largely since the 1930s had typically been won by Democratic candidates in elections. He performed competitively in all fourteen black wards, and won ten of them. <mask> ran as a reformer. <mask> had pledged that he would investigate allegations of voter fraud, political corruption, kickbacks, and other crimes by the Democratic establishment of Chicago and Cook County. <mask> ran what was described as an "understated" campaign.As a candidate, <mask> referred himself as, "a professional , not a politician". Tenure
Among the investigations <mask> launched was a police spying scandal, involving the  so-called "Red Squad" of the Chicago Police Department infiltrating public organizations. Ultimately, after eleven years of litigation that arose, a 1985 court decision would end the Chicago Police Department's unlawful surveillance of political dissenters and their organizations. <mask> would receive praise for running an honest department as state's attorney. <mask> has received credit for lying the groundwork for the investigation that would become Operation Greylord. <mask>'s office was in change of the

After <mask>'s 2018 death, Richard A. Devine, a Democrat who had served as Cook County State's Attorney from 1996 through 2008, remarked, "Bernie was a good guy. He worked hard to do a good job. He recruited professional prosecutors." In 1976, he was reelected over Edward J. Egan, a Democrat who had stepped down from the Illinois Appellate Court in order to run against <mask>. Egan had been recruited by Richard J. Daley to run against <mask>. <mask> campaigned against Egan, in part, by tying him to Richard J.

In 1980, <mask> was narrowly unseated by Democrat Richard M. Daley, the son of the late Richard J. Daley. Subsequent career
In 1982, <mask> ran for both as the Republican nominee for President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners and a Republican nominee to be a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners from suburban Cook County. He lost the race for president, but won election to be a member of the board. In 1986, <mask> made an unsuccessful run for Illinois Attorney General, replacing James T. Ryan as the Republican nominee after Ryan withdrew from the race due to domestic violence allegations. This meant that <mask> had to withdraw from the race to win reelection to the Cook County Board of Commissioners, thus meaning his tenure on the board ended that December.In May 1988, the Illinois Supreme Court would appoint <mask> a judge on the Cook

<mask> (born 8 January 1947) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is a former member of the Escorts, the Swinging Blue Jeans (1966–69) and the Hollies. In the latter role, he took on the high parts formerly sung by Graham Nash, who had left the band in December 1968. Life and career

Early career/The Escorts
<mask> grew up in Allerton, Liverpool and attended school with future Badfinger guitarist, Joey Molland. At the age of 14, <mask> was employed for a time as a panel beater by George Harrison's brother. The group he co-founded, the Escorts, appeared with the Beatles in the early 1960s. The Escorts recorded their cover of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" on Fontana Records in 1964.A compilation album of the Escorts, From the Blue Angel, was issued on LP and then in 1995, on CD. The Swinging Blue Jeans
In 1966, <mask> began a three-year stint with the Swinging Blue Jeans, replacing guitarist/vocalist Ralph Ellis. The Hollies
Sylvester's debut with the Hollies in January 1969 saw him sing on the UK chart hit singles "Sorry Suzanne" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", plus on the albums Hollies Sing Dylan and Hollies Sing Hollies (both 1969), which debuted <mask>'s songwriting. His first song for the group was "Gloria Swansong", and he continued to write by himself ("Pull Down the Blind", "Cable Car" 1971), with Allan Clarke ("Why Didn't You Believe", "Man Without a Heart", "Perfect Lady Housewife") and as part of Clarke-Hicks-<mask>. This trio composed most of the Hollies songs on several albums: Confessions of the Mind (1970), Hollies (1974),

 Another Night (1975), Write On and Russian Roulette (both 1976 – although neither of the latter two were issued in the US in their original form) plus A Crazy Steal (1978). Some of <mask>'s work appeared on B-sides on singles including "Indian Girl" (1972), "No More Riders" (1974), in addition to singing lead vocals on the Tony Hicks and Kenny Lynch co-written song, "Oh Granny" (1972). In addition to high harmony vocals, <mask> also sang a brief lead vocal section on the 1970 UK hit, "Gasoline Alley Bred" (sung mostly by Allan Clarke).He then took on a greater share of responsibilities during the 1972–73 period, when Swedish vocalist, Mikael Rickfors, temporarily replaced Clarke. <mask> sang "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" on the Hollies' 1973 US tour and on American television appearances. He later sang a number of lead vocals during this period on Romany (1972). This album included a cover of Judee Sill's "Jesus Was a Crossmaker". On Out on the Road (1973), <mask> took lead vocals on several songs including "Slow Down, Go Down", "Pick Up the Pieces", and "Mr. Heartbreaker" (which was co-written with Dean Ford of Marmalade). After a period of discontent, partly over musical policy, <mask> split with the Hollies in May 1981, in an incident that precipitated the resignation of bassist Bernie Calvert. Solo work
In 1974, <mask> released his eponymous solo album, re-releasing it as I Believe with a slightly revised track listing in 1976.Jimmy Griffin guested harmony vocals on the song "Travelin' Boy", while <mask> cut solo versions of his Hollies

 songs "Cable Car", "Indian Girl", "Pick Up the Pieces Again" and later, a solo version of his 1973 Hollies song "I Had a Dream", which was added to the CD version of the album. The 1974 single on Polydor ("For the Peace of All Mankind", an Albert Hammond cover) and a couple of singles in 1976 ("I Believe", a Stevie Wonder cover, and "End of the Line") all taken from his solo album failed to chart. In 1978, <mask> issued the non-album singles "Too Bad Lucy Jane" and "Silver and Gold" in the UK, but these also failed to chart. He also earlier had contributed vocals to the Alan Parsons Project's first album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1975), singing lead on "To One in Paradise", and providing background vocals on "The Cask of Amontillado", behind John Miles. In 1994, a further solo album appeared, I Believe in Love, comprising live versions of both his Hollies and solo recorded songs, plus covers such as "It Never Rains in Southern California", from a concert recorded on 20 March 1994 in Germany. Griffin & Sylvester
In 1982, <mask>, in collaboration with Jimmy Griffin in Memphis, Tennessee, recorded and released Griffin & Sylvester on Polydor. From this album, "Please Come into My Life", was released as a single.In the mid-1990s, <mask> teamed up with Griffin again as the duo 'Griffin & Sylvester', touring the UK and Canada as a part of the 'Soft Rock Cafe'. The friendship and partnership continued, on and off, up to Griffin's death in January 2005. Their 1982 album was re-issued on compact disc with three bonus songs in 1999. Later releases,

<mask> (; 26 May 166727 November 1754) was a French mathematician known for <mask>re's formula, a formula that links complex numbers and trigonometry, and for his work on the normal distribution and probability theory. He moved to England at a young age due to the religious persecution of Huguenots in France which began in 1685. He was a friend of Isaac Newton, Edmond Halley, and James Stirling. Among his fellow Huguenot exiles in England, he was a colleague of the editor and translator <mask>. De Moivre wrote a book on probability theory, The Doctrine of Chances, said to have been prized by gamblers. De Moivre first discovered Binet's formula, the closed-form expression for Fibonacci numbers linking the nth power of the golden ratio φ to the nth Fibonacci number. He also was the first to postulate the central limit theorem, a cornerstone of probability theory.Life

Early years
<mask> <mask> was born in Vitry-le-François in Champagne on 26 May 1667. His father, <mask> <mask>, was a surgeon who believed in the value of education. Though <mask> <mask>'s parents were Protestant, he first attended Christian Brothers' Catholic school in Vitry, which was unusually tolerant given religious tensions in France at the time. When he was eleven, his parents sent him to the Protestant Academy at Sedan, where he spent four years studying Greek under Jacques du <mask>. The Protestant Academy of Sedan had been founded in 1579 at the initiative of Françoise <mask>, the widow of Henri-Robert <mask> Marck. In 1682 the Protestant Academy at Sedan was suppressed, and <mask>re enrolled to study logic at Saumur for two years. Although mathematics was not part of his course work, <mask>re read several works on mathematics on his own including Éléments des mathématiques by the French Oratorian priest and mathematician Jean Prestet and a short treatise
