In his sophomore year, <mask> anticipated an increased role for the 2015–16 season. Unable to produce offensively and un-willing to accept reduced minutes in a checking-line role, <mask> opted to leave the Terriers after 18 games to further his development in his native Quebec, with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the QMJHL on December 19, 2015.In joining the top ranked Huskies, <mask> immediately made an impact offensively, contributing with 16 goals in the final 33 regular season games.

He was selected alongside Spencer Martin as San Antonio's representatives at the AHL All-Star Game. As the team struggled down the stretch of the regular season, <mask> appeared in 63 games for 38 points before injury concluded his rookie season. His contributions off the ice to the San Antonio community were recognized as he was awarded the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award as the AHL's Man of the Year. <mask> scored his first NHL on February 20, 2019, when he scored the last goal in the Avalanche's 7–1 win against the Winnipeg Jets.

 Colorado in 1996 was for the open seat which resulted from the retirement of Hank Brown. <mask> had represented the Sierra Club and had served on the regional board of the Environmental Defense Fund; he was endorsed by nearly every environmental group in Colorado; however, his Republican opponent, Wayne Allard, who had an abysmal environmental record, borrowed a tactic from <mask>'s law partner, Steve Farber, and painted him as "the polluters' lawyer" in commercials based on research of his record of legal work for numerous clients over a ten-year legal career. He could only reply by referencing his duty to represent his clients' interests zealously. He fell behind in the polls and eventually lost. 2002 election
The 2002 election for the U.S. Senate, with the same candidates running, resulted in a narrow victory for Allard.A record-breaking total of $9 million was raised by the candidates. The campaign was characterized by mutual accusations that the other candidate was linked with a powerful communications company, Allard with Qwest and Strickland with Global Crossing. Allard's winning strategy was to characterize <mask> as a "millionaire-lawyer-lobbyist." <mask> ran on moderate positions. Both candidates had help from prominent party leaders, Allard being helped by President George W. Bush. References

<mask> OBE (15 February 1907 - 3 February 1993) was an author and journalist who became a leading figure in the British community in Lisbon, Portugal. Family and early life
Generally known as <mask>, or <mask> after her marriage to the Portuguese, <mask>, she was born into a distinguished family. Her great, great-grandfather was the British scientist and philosopher Joseph Priestley, who was credited with the discovery of oxygen. Her grandmother was Bessie Rayner Parkes, a prominent British feminist and champion of women's suffrage. Her mother, <mask>, was a well-known writer of crime novels and biographies, best known for her novel, The Lodger, based on Jack the Ripper, which sold over a million copies and was made into a film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1926. Her uncle was the poet and novelist Hilaire Belloc. Marriage and Lisbon
Brought up in inter-war London, <mask> was therefore always surrounded by books and met many writers who visited the family home.Her father, <mask>, worked as an editor for The Times. She was educated at St Mary's Convent, Ascot. On leaving school she did voluntary work and, for a time, ran an antique shop in London. In August 1938 she went with her father for a brief holiday in Lisbon, where she met Luís Artur de Oliveira <mask> (1898-1976), an English-educated journalist. They were married in December of the same year in Westminster Cathedral in London and made their home in Lisbon, later moving to Monte Estoril. Her husband was the editor (later owner) of the Anglo-Portuguese News, a newspaper targeted primarily at the British community in Portugal. She would carry on running it after his death until 1980.He was the Lisbon correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times and the New York Times, as well as doing some English teaching. Writers remained at the centre of her life. Their son, <mask> <mask>, recalled visits to Lisbon from Evelyn Waugh, Cyril Connolly, Aldous Huxley and

 Graham Greene. Other visitors included Rose Macaulay, Angus Wilson and Sachaverell Sitwell. World War II
During World War 2, in addition to working on the Anglo-Portuguese News, <mask> <mask> and her husband helped out at the Press section of the British Embassy, reviewing the Portuguese press for items of British interest. The Anglo-Portuguese News was the only British newspaper published in Continental Europe during the war and received support from the British Government. Luís was referred to by Joseph Goebbels as “a man to be destroyed” and in a German propaganda radio programme the paper was called “the voice of Churchill in Lisbon”.As a consequence, the couple was on the special embassy list for immediate evacuation should Portugal have been invaded and a large sum of cash was always kept at their house just in case. During the war they were also active in supporting the refugees who passed through Lisbon in large numbers. A writer
After the war, <mask>, writing under her maiden name, collaborated with Ann Bridge, wife of the then British ambassador in Lisbon, Lord O'Malley, to publish The Selective Traveller in Portugal (1949), which became a classic in travel writing on Portugal. It involved the two authors in travelling throughout Portugal on poor roads in search of interesting places to recommend to potential visitors. She subsequently wrote Good Food from Spain and Portugal (1956) and Portugal: A Travellers' Guide (1982), as well as annually revising Fodor's Guide to Portugal. <mask> also wrote two small books on Fatima for thousands of English-speaking pilgrims. She often gave lectures on Portuguese topics in Portugal and Britain.Together with her elder sister, Elizabeth, Countess of Iddesleigh, she edited The Diaries and Letters of Marie Belloc <mask> (1971), which described the atmosphere of the interwar years in London. English Art in Portugal, written together with Alice Berkeley, was published

<mask> and her husband had three children. <mask> <mask> (1941-2011) was a lawyer, historian and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Portugal. Ana Vicente (1943-2015) was a leading supporter of women's rights and an author, including of children's books. She also wrote about life with her parents and compiled some of the letters of her mother. Her sister, Antonia <mask> Leitão (born 1946), married the Portuguese diplomat Rui Burnay Morales de Los Rios da Silva Leitão.Religious faith
<mask> was awarded an OBE in 1975 for services to the British community in Lisbon. Someone with strong Catholic beliefs, she was, at the time of her death, the Lisbon correspondent of the London-based Catholic Herald and of the US Catholic News Service. She attached great importance to charity, believing that Christianity was lived in solidarity with the most vulnerable people. Hundreds of letters of thanks in her archives attest to the assistance she gave others. She worked voluntarily at the British Hospital in Lisbon and at St. Julian's International School, among several other organizations. Towards the end of her life she established the British Retirement Home in São Pedro do Estoril for British people in Portugal who had fallen on hard times. She also had a very developed sense of humour.Two days before her death, when she was offered oxygen in the hospital, she referred back to her great, great-grandfather's discovery of oxygen, saying, “Dear Doctor Priestley”.

<mask> (May 1, 1878 – January 9, 1962) was president of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey from 1917 to 1937 and was chairman of the board from 1937 to 1942. He was responsible for leading Standard Oil to the forefront of the oil industry and significantly expanding the company's presence in the petrochemical field. In 1923, Cornell University announced that <mask> was their highest salaried graduate. He served as vice president of the Cornell Club of New York and on a variety of committees. Biography

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on May 1, 1878 into a wealthy oil family. <mask> was the grandson of Maurice B<mask>, one of John D. Rockefeller's former partners in Standard Oil. <mask>'s father, <mask>, headed Scofield, Shurmer and Teagle, Standard Oil's competitor in Cleveland.<mask> entered Cornell University with the class of 1900, but graduated early in 1899 with a B.S. in chemistry. As a student, <mask> was said to have "managed everything," serving as manager for two publications, the football team, class politics, and as chair of the committees for class promenades and cotillions. He was a member of the Quill and Dagger society and Alpha Delta Phi. In 1901, Standard Oil bought out the <mask> family refinery, and placed <mask> in charge. Two years later, he joined the export committee of Standard Oil of New Jersey, traveling around the world for the next seven and a half years. He became a director of Standard Oil in 1910, and a vice president shortly thereafter.During this time, he acquired operations in Venezuela and Iran. At the age of 39, <mask> became the youngest president of Standard Oil of New Jersey, then known as Esso, for Standard Oil of New Jersey, and since 1972, known as

texts: Exxon. Under his leadership, Standard Oil became the world's largest oil producer, increasing market share from 2% to 11.5%. He helped pioneer worker representation on refinery councils and the eight-hour workday. <mask> married twice, to Edith Murray on October 3, 1903, and after her death, to Rowena Lee in 1910. Following Standard Oil house counsel Virgil Kline, who had earlier won cases against Standard for his father's firm, <mask> built a summer house in Blue Hill, Maine. He served as a trustee for Cornell University from 1924 to 1954 and donating funds for the Teagle Hall athletic building.<mask> has been accused of contributing to Nazi Germany during World War II through his involvement with German chemical company IG Farben. As a director of IG Farben's American subsidiary, he allied Standard Oil with the German company and conducted research jointly. Standard Oil supplied information to IG Farben on how to manufacture tetraethyl lead and synthetic rubber, both critical resources to the war effort. In 1938, under <mask>'s leadership, Standard Oil and its British subsidiaries supplied five hundred tons of tetraethyl lead to Germany's Luftwaffe. Germany had very few industrial resources of its own, and without this octane booster for its aviation gas, the Luftwaffe would have been practically grounded. At the time tetraethyl lead was a rare and highly controlled commodity and it is unlikely Germany would have been able to find another source for it. Had <mask> not arranged such a massive transfer of the substance to the Luftwaffe, it is likely that the second World War would have been postponed for several years.Standard Oil, under <mask>, also supplied Japan with large quantities of

texts: this critical aviation gas component. When America entered the war a few years later, it was desperately short of rubber because Standard Oil, again under <mask>'s leadership, refused to produce any synthetic rubber for the American military, because <mask> had transferred the patent rights for synthetic rubber to IG Farben, a German company. Because of the patents it had sold to Germany, Standard Oil also interfered with America's production of synthetic ammonia (for use in explosives), acetic acid (another crucial war material), and methanol (another fuel additive). Standard and Teagle, again protecting IG Farben's patents, had also worked to prevent the US military from obtaining paraflow, a crucial high-altitude lubricant used in fighters and bombers. Though <mask> himself had two sons in the Army Air Force, Standard Oil, through its subsidiaries, continued to supply Germany with oil. Faced with a United States Department of Justice investigation, <mask> convinced President Franklin D. Roosevelt that a suit would hurt the war effort, instead choosing to pay an out-of-court fine. The result was a fall in public favor for Standard Oil and the resignation of <mask> in 1942, one year short of the mandatory retirement age.He was replaced by Ralph W. Gallagher. Despite the settlement, for the duration of the Second World War, Standard Oil, under deals <mask> had overseen, continued to supply Nazi Germany with oil. The shipments went through Spain, Vichy France's colonies in the West Indies, and  Switzerland. Standard's oil shipments from the United States to Spain were briefly halted in January 1944 due to American public pressure, then began again in May 1944. Spain, meanwhile, was shipping

<mask> (6 February 1922 – 25 June 2015) was an English film and television actor. After serving in the Royal Navy during World War II, he began his acting career in Canada. Despite having some small film roles, <mask> spent much of his early career in playing small roles in American and Canadian television shows. In 1961, he landed the role of secret agent John Steed in the British television series The Avengers. The show was a success running for eight seasons from 1961 to 1969 and was revived in 1976 as The New Avengers. The show was a major breakthrough for <mask> and led to his roles in many films including This Is Spinal Tap and A View to a Kill as well as continuing to appear in both Britain and US television shows up until 2001. Early life and career
The elder of two sons, <mask> was born in Paddington, London, England, on 6 February 1922; to <mask> (1878–1952) and British socialite <mask> (née Henry) (1896–1984).His father, who was a grandson of the Scottish artist Sir <mask>, trained race horses in Lambourn, and was known for his dress sense; he had served as an officer in the Yorkshire Dragoons in the First World War. His maternal grandmother was Frances Alice Hastings (1870–1945), who was the daughter of Vice-Admiral George Fowler Hastings and granddaughter of The 12th Earl of Huntingdon. His younger brother James, known as Jimmy, was born five years later. <mask>'s parents separated after his mother came out as a lesbian. His father later moved to India, and his mother began to live with her wealthy partner, Evelyn Spottiswoode, whose money came from the Dewar's whisky business. <mask> referred to her in his autobiography as "Uncle Evelyn", and she helped pay for his schooling. He was educated at Summer Fields School and Eton College, where he was a member of the Officer Training Corps and was one of the guard of honour for King George V at St

texts: George's Chapel in 1936.He was later expelled from Eton for selling pornography and being a bookmaker for his fellow students. <mask> studied acting at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, but shortly before he was to perform in his first West End leading role, which would have had him acting alongside Vivien Leigh, he was called up for the Royal Navy. He joined as an ordinary seaman in October 1942 and was commissioned a sub-lieutenant in June 1943, becoming a navigator on Motor Torpedo Boats in the English Channel and North Sea. Reassigned as first lieutenant on a second MTB, <mask> caught bronchitis just before D-Day; while he was recuperating in hospital, his boat and crew were lost in action. Two of the crew received the Distinguished Service Medal. He left the Royal Navy in 1946 as a lieutenant. <mask> nurtured his acting career in Canada early on, but he also appeared as an uncredited extra in the British films Pygmalion (1938), The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) and Laurence Olivier's Hamlet (1948), as well as some live TV dramas for the BBC, before graduating to credited roles in such films as Scrooge (US: A Christmas Carol, 1951), as young Jacob Marley, the Gene Kelly vehicle Les Girls (1957), as an Old Bailey barrister, and the war film The Battle of the River Plate (1956).Between these occasional movie roles, <mask> spent the better part of the 1950s working in dozens of small roles in American and Canadian television and theatre, including an appearance in an episode of One Step Beyond ("Night of April 14th") and The Twilight Zone ("Judgment Night") in 1959. Disappointed in his limited career development, in the late 1950s <mask> was daily smoking 80 cigarettes and drinking a bottle of whisky. Not long before his career-making role in The Avengers, <mask> took a break from acting and served as one of the London-based producers

 for the classic documentary series The Valiant Years, based on the Second World War memoirs of Winston Churchill. The Avengers

While working in London on the Churchill series, <mask> was offered the role in The Avengers (1961–69), (originally intended to be known as Jonathan Steed), for which he became best known. The series was conceived as a vehicle for Ian Hendry, who played the lead role of Dr. David Keel in a sequel to an earlier series, Police Surgeon (1960), while John Steed was his assistant. <mask>, though, became the lead after Hendry's departure at the end of the first season. <mask> played opposite a succession of glamorous female partners: Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson.Of the 161 completed episodes, <mask> appeared in all but two, both from the first season. Although <mask> evolved in the role as the series progressed, the key elements of Steed's persona and appearance were there from very early on: the slightly mysterious demeanour and, increasingly, the light, suave, flirting tone with ladies (and always with his female assistants). Finally, from the episodes with Blackman onwards, the trademark bowler hat and umbrella completed the image. Although it traditionally was associated with London "city gents", the ensemble of suit, umbrella and bowler had developed in the post-war years as mufti for ex-servicemen attending Armistice Day ceremonies. Steed's sartorial style may also have been drawn from <mask>'s father. <mask>, alongside designer Pierre Cardin, adapted the look into a style all his own, and he went on to design several outfits himself for Steed based on the same basic theme. Steed was also the central character of The New Avengers (1976–77), in which he was teamed with agents named Purdey (Joanna Lumley) and Mike Gambit (Gareth Hunt).<mask> insisted on, and was proud of, almost never carrying a gun in the original

 series; when asked why, he explained, "I'd just come out of a World War in which I'd seen most of my friends blown to bits." Lumley later said she did all the gun-slinging in The New Avengers for the same reason. When asked in June 1982 which Avengers female lead was his favourite, <mask> declined to give a specific answer. "Well, I'd rather not say. To do so would invite trouble," he told TV Week magazine. <mask> did provide his evaluation of the female leads. Of Honor Blackman he said, "She was wonderful, presenting the concept of a strong-willed, independent and liberated woman just as that sort of woman was beginning to emerge in society."Diana Rigg was "One of the world's great actresses. A superb comedienne. I'm convinced that one day she'll be Dame Diana" (his prediction came true in 1994). Linda Thorson was "one of the sexiest women alive" while Joanna Lumley was "superb in the role of Purdey. An actress who is only now realising her immense potential." <mask> co-wrote two original novels based upon The Avengers during the 1960s, titled Dead Duck and Deadline. He hosted the documentary The Avengers: The Journey Back (1998), directed by Clyde Lucas.For the critically lambasted film version of The Avengers (1998), he lent his voice in a cameo as Invisible Jones. The character John Steed was taken over by Ralph Fiennes. Later roles

<mask>'s other significant roles included playing Sir Godfrey Tibbett opposite Roger Moore in the James Bond film A View to a Kill (1985), as Major Crossley in The Sea Wolves (again with Moore), guest roles in Encounter, Alias Smith and Jones (for Glen A. Larson), Magnum, P.I., Hart to Hart, Murder, She Wrote and The Love Boat. Although his best known role was heroic, many of his television appearances were as villains; among them were his roles of both the demonic Count Iblis and his provision of the character voice of

He subsequently headlined the national tour of that play.<mask> reunited with Diana Rigg in her short-lived sitcom Diana (1973) in a single episode. Other television appearances include a guest appearance on Columbo in the episode "Troubled Waters" (1975); and playing Major Vickers in For the Term of his Natural Life (1983). He had recurring roles in the crime series Gavilan with Robert Urich and in the short-lived satire on big business, Empire (1984), as Dr. Calvin Cromwell. <mask> was known for narrating various James Bond Documentaries on Special Edition DVD. He also narrated the documentary Ian Fleming: 007's Creator (2000). <mask> featured prominently in two editions of the long-running British television series This Is Your Life: in 1978, when he and host Eamonn Andrews, both dressed as Steed, surprised Ian Hendry, and in 1984 when he was the edition's unsuspecting subject. He also appeared in several cult films: in The Howling (1981), as Dr. George Waggner (named whimsically after the director of The Wolf Man, 1941) and as Sir Denis Eton-Hogg in the rockumentary comedy This Is Spinal Tap (1984).He played Dr. Stark in The Creature Wasn't Nice (1981), also called Spaceship and Naked Space. <mask> played the role of actor David Mathews in the television movie Rehearsal for Murder (1982), which starred Robert Preston and Lynn Redgrave.

Over the James Bond theme, the car duels with a motorcycle assailant at high speed through mountainous territory, ultimately eludes the foe, and reaches its destination. <mask> steps out of the car and greets viewers with a smile, saying "I suppose you were expecting someone else". <mask> was the narrator for several "behind-the-scenes" featurettes for the James Bond series of DVDs and recorded numerous audio books, including the releases of many novels by Jack Higgins.

<mask> appeared in Magnum, P.I. (1984) as a retired British agent who suffered from the delusion that he was Sherlock Holmes, in a season four episode titled Holmes Is Where the Heart Is. He played both Holmes and Dr. Watson on several occasions. He played Watson three times: once alongside Roger Moore's Sherlock Holmes in the television film Sherlock Holmes in New York (1976), and twice with Christopher Lee, first in Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady (1991), and then in Incident at Victoria Falls (1992). He played Holmes in another television film The Hound of London (1993), along with the television film Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Temporal Nexus (1996).He is thus one of only a small number of actors to have portrayed both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson on screen. Personal life
<mask> married his first wife Barbara Douglas (1921–2012) in 1942. They had two children, Rupert and Jenny, and a grandson, Christopher ("Kit"). After they were divorced in 1956, his second marriage (1965–1969) was to actress Katherine Woodville. From 1973 to 1991, <mask> owned a home in the Deep Well neighborhood of Palm Springs, California. His third marriage was to Baba Majos de Nagyzsenye, daughter of opera singer Ella Némethy. It lasted from 1988 until her death in 2007.<mask> became a United States citizen in 1959.

<mask> was hired by Yanni as a Concertmaster for the 1994 tour, as well as serving as a violin soloist. He appears on the live concert videos, Yanni Live at Royal Albert Hall and Tribute. According to <mask>, Yanni hired him as a conductor "on faith" - as he had never watched him conduct an orchestra. "That's how Yanni does many things," <mask> said in a 1998 interview with the Toledo Blade. <mask> concedes that he had some doubts about the artist's plans to perform at India's Taj Mahal and China's Forbidden City, for Tribute. "To be honest, a few years ago when he was talking about it, the idea was so amazing.I myself was very skeptical, understandably so. But the truth is, it happened. We did it." He goes on to say,  "I did one tour as concertmaster and I got to know [Yanni] very, very well." "[Yanni] heavily relies on his instincts, and I am happy to say, they're usually good. Especially when it comes to people, when it comes to audiences, when it comes to music, and what's expected of him." <mask> said the Tribute video looks great but watching it on film cannot compare to actually being at the Taj

 Mahal and Forbidden City concerts."It doesn't feel the same. It doesn't smell the same," he said with a laugh. "It's hard to put it in a nutshell. It was a life-changing experience." The contrast he encountered in India was profound. "Unless you go to India...you cannot fathom that poverty and deprivation on the one hand and such overwhelming beauty as the Taj Mahal on the other hand. There was always that conflict that dominated my days in India."He said that he hears from many fans about how Yanni's music has had a positive impact on their lives, but from the conductor's podium he's working too hard to notice. "We're so involved in the music, we take it for granted. We do it every day." Recording credits and soundtracks

<mask> (January 23, 1884 – June 15, 1965) was an American football player, coach, and law-enforcement agent. While working as a Prohibition agent in Chicago, Illinois, <mask> served with Eliot Ness's "Untouchables," a group of hand-picked federal agents who, from 1930 to 1932, sought to put an end to Al Capone's illegal empire. Although <mask> was only involved with the group for a short period of time, he would be prominently mentioned in Ness's memoir of the investigation, The Untouchables, and inspire a recurring character in the 1959 television series based upon that book. Background

Early life
<mask> was born in North Dakota. He was the son of a half-white, half-Ojibwe Indian father and an Ojibwe mother. At an early age he and his brother, George, were taken from the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation and sent to Carlisle, Pennsylvania to attend the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Football career and athletics
<mask>, who stood just under six feet and 172 pounds at the time, played end, tackle, and fullback from 1904 to 1907, helping the little school defeat the powers of the time, which were Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania—known as the "Big Four".He also set a school record in track for the half mile, and also played basketball and baseball. <mask> enrolled in Dickinson School of Law his senior year in 1907. "Pop" Warner described his 1907 team as "nearly perfect", but was upset that Walter Camp had left <mask> off his All-American team. Later in the 1930s, Knute Rockne named <mask> to his All-Time All-American team for Collier's. <mask> then served as coach at duPont Manual High School in Louisville, Kentucky from 1908 through 1911. <mask> was normally described in newspapers of the day as reserved, but sometimes he had a "wolf - like nervousness". One newspaper referred to him as "the 'Indian' athlete".<mask> had a feared trickery as a football coach. The Director of Harvard's Hemenway Gymnasium found him to be one of the strongest

 Americans in 1911, conferred after a series of measurements and physical tests. <mask> even outscored renowned boxers John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson, and James J. Jeffries. <mask> then became director of athletics at Otterbein University. He then played on an all-star team in Atlanta and while in Indiana, <mask> recruited another star—Jim Thorpe. In August 1920, <mask> was appointed as the physical direct and coach of all athletics at the head baseball coach at St. Edward's College—now known as –St. Edward's University—in Austin, Texas.In July 1921, he was hired as the athletic director and head football coach at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Family life and war
<mask> finished law school in 1909 and was admitted to the Louisville bar in 1910. <mask> enlisted in the United States Army as a private during World War I and became the only "Indian" to receive a captain's commission at Fort Sheridan. As usual, <mask> captained the Camp Custer football team. He fought in the trenches in France and his pension stated that he had been gassed. <mask> married Alene French, a socialite from Niles, Michigan, in 1919, and fathered one son, <mask>, and two daughters: <mask> Carson and Alene <mask>f. The <mask> family traveled all over the United States, from Maryland to Texas, primarily because of Bill's highly mobile professional lifestyle, involved in both law and athletics.The Untouchables
<mask> joined the Bureau of Prohibition in 1926. Two years later, he served alongside Eliot Ness on a squad of special agents sent to Chicago with orders to combat the rampant bootlegging and lawlessness caused by Prohibition. In late 1930, Ness was chosen to lead a smaller, select unit of Prohibition agents specifically ordered to investigate the bootlegging operations of the Chicago Outfit run by Al Capone. <mask> was one of the first six agents Ness selected for the group, which would later become known as "The Untouchables" after Ness and other agents refused

 large bribes from the Capone Outfit. Less than two months after joining the squad, <mask> absented himself from duty without official leave, then abruptly returned only to resign from the bureau three weeks later. Although <mask> did participate in the early stages of the Untouchables' investigation, he took no part in the high-profile raids that would make Ness's unit famous. Later life
<mask> later rejoined the Prohibition Bureau but was dismissed around the time of Prohibition's repeal.Suffering from alcoholism in his later years, he died at the age of 81 from an illness at the Prescott Veterans Hospital in 1965. He was buried at the Prescott National Cemetery in Arizona, on June 17, 1965. His grave site number is 86, section number 12, row E.

Despite only working with the Untouchables for five weeks, <mask> was the real-life inspiration behind Abel Fernandez's character of Agent <mask>Bill" Youngfellow, serving under Robert Stack's Eliot Ness in the original 1959–1963 The Untouchables T.V. series. He also inspired Michael Horse's character, George Steelman, Native American agent under Tom Amandes's Ness, in the revived series syndicated to local stations in 1993. Head coaching record

<mask>  (born 5 January 1943), is an Australian lawyer and judge, who was the first female Justice of the High Court of Australia. She was the Solicitor-General of New South Wales from 1981 until 1987 before her appointment to the High Court. After her retirement in 2002, she joined the International Labour Organization, serving as the President of its Administrative Tribunal from 2011 until 2014. Early life
Gaudron was born in Moree, in northern rural New South Wales in 1943, the daughter of working-class parents Edward and Grace Gaudron. She would later speak about the intense racism towards Indigenous Australians which was part of everyday life in Moree and how it influenced her strong opposition to all forms of discrimination. In 1965, Moree was the site of a violent conflict during the Freedom Ride. In 1951, H. V. Evatt passed through Moree to campaign for the "no" case in the 1951 referendum, at which the Menzies Liberal government was attempting to alter the Constitution of Australia in order to ban the Australian Communist Party.Evatt was addressing a small crowd from the back of a blue Holden ute, discussing the upcoming referendum and the Constitution, and Gaudron, not knowing what Evatt was referring to, asked "Please sir, what's a Constitution?" Evatt explained that it was "the laws by which Parliaments were governed." Gaudron asked whether it was similar to the Ten Commandments and Evatt replied that "you could call it the Ten Commandments of government." Gaudron then asked for a copy and Evatt subsequently sent her one in the mail. Gaudron, expecting two stone tablets, was disappointed to receive only a small pamphlet. However, when the school bullies declared the pamphlet useless, Gaudron retorted that it was of great use to lawyers, and that some day she would be one. Education
Gaudron was educated at St Ursula's College in Armidale.In 1960 Gaudron was awarded a federal government scholarship to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Sydney, which she graduated with in 1962. In 1961 she also commenced a part-time Bachelor of Laws degree, graduating in 1965 with first-class honours and the University's Medal


texts:
 for Law. Gaudron was the second female recipient, after Elizabeth Evatt, and the first female part-time student to be awarded the medal. While studying, Gaudron attempted to obtain articles of clerkship (then five years in duration), but was not successful. She later said, "Many distinguished lawyers took a lot of trouble and effort to explain to me that it was not their policy to take on women as articled clerks." Instead, she took a job with the Australian Public Service, although, in accordance with the then regulations, she was required to relinquish her employment when she married. In 1988, Gaudron was awarded an honorary doctorate in law from Macquarie University, and another from the University of Sydney in 1999.Career

Barrister
Gaudron was admitted to the New South Wales Bar in October 1968 after having completed her articles of clerkship and commenced practice as a barrister. She attempted to buy a room for herself in one of the barristers' chambers in Sydney but was regularly knocked back because she was a woman. When future High Court colleague Michael McHugh attempted to sell his room, the other members of his chambers would not let Gaudron buy it, although there were no other buyers. She eventually shared a room with Janet Coombs, another pioneering female barrister. Gaudron regularly argued before the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court in the early 1970s, particularly in the area of industrial law. In 1972 she became the first woman to be appointed to the Council of the New South Wales Bar. Gaudron's first major breakthrough was in 1970 with O'Shaughnessy v Mirror Newspapers Ltd, where as a 27-year-old junior counsel she successfully argued the matter single-handedly before the High Court after the plaintiff, Peter O'Shaughnessy, sacked his senior counsel, Clive Evatt QC, preferring her ability over the veteran.According to O'Shaughnessy, 'she cut a valiant figure, this "slip of a girl", who stood unsupported before the five legal elders of the land. They were obviously impressed by her courage, her sheer elegant dash, her shining intellect finding expression in felicitous language, her good manners, charm,

 poise. And perhaps, when all is said and done, by her sheer cheek in taking on the case.' Another one of Gaudron's significant cases was in 1972, when she successfully argued the Equal Pay case for the Whitlam Labor government before the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. Early in 1972, Gaudron had entered a bar with a male barrister friend when the waitress informed the friend that the bar did not serve women. Gaudron "patiently explained to the barmaid that my friend didn't want a woman because he'd brought his own," eventually creating "something of a scene" which attracted the attention of Labor politician Clyde Cameron, who said that he didn't realise such sexual discrimination still existed. Gaudron said that "the discrimination being practised in that particular hotel was nothing compared to the discrimination over which he would undoubtedly preside when he became Minister for Industrial Relations after the next election."However, the Whitlam government was elected on 2 December, and Cameron duly became Minister for Industrial Relations. Whitlam called <mask> on 3 December to hire her to argue the case for equal pay. The case, begun by the Australian Council of Trade Unions and supported by the Whitlam government, extended the reach of the original but limited equal pay decision of 1969. Prior decisions had guaranteed equal pay only for certain specific occupations and later, certain limited industries (industries traditionally considered 'women's work', such as the textile industry), whereas this case extended the principle of equal pay to all workers. Gaudron's argument was based on the principles of the 1951 Equal Remuneration Convention of the International Labour Organization (an organisation she would later work for). However, Gaudron later came to regard her argument, that Australia had not ratified the Convention because the commission would not grant equal pay (thus preventing Australia from fulfilling its obligations under the convention), as somewhat disingenuous, and recalled it with a measure of embarrassment. Conciliation and Arbitration Commission
In April 1974, <mask> was appointed to the Conciliation and

 Arbitration Commission as Deputy President, becoming the youngest ever federal judge.It was rumoured that Cameron had advocated in Cabinet for her appointment, first by emphasising her outstanding academic record, then by noting her humble working-class background, to which Whitlam supposedly said, "Next you'll be telling us she was born in a bloody manger!" Gaudron's most notable case on the Arbitration Commission was an important test case for maternity leave in 1979, which laid down award standards allowing for a year's unpaid leave for all full-time and permanent part-time workers. In 1979–1980, Gaudron was the inaugural chair of the NSW Legal Services Commission. Gaudron held the position of Deputy President until her resignation in May 1980. Lecturer, QC and Solicitor-General
<mask> lectured at the University of New South Wales' law school for a brief time, then in February 1981 she was appointed the Solicitor-General of New South Wales, the first female Solicitor-General in any Australian jurisdiction. That same year, she was made a Queen's Counsel (QC), the first female QC in New South Wales. In her capacity as Solicitor-General, Gaudron argued for New South Wales in such landmark High Court cases as the Tasmanian Dams case.From 1981 to 1986, she served on the Council of Macquarie University, and from 1984 to 1986, chaired an advisory council at the University of Wollongong. High Court Justice
The death of Justice Lionel Murphy in October 1986 and the retirement of Chief Justice Harry Gibbs in February 1987 created two vacancies on the High Court. On 6 February 1987, John Toohey and <mask> were appointed to the court. At just 44 years of age, Gaudron was the fourth youngest Justice, after Evatt, McTiernan and Dixon, as well as the first female Justice. As a High Court Justice, Gaudron contributed to every area of Australian law, most notably to Australian criminal law, in judgments that "combine technical mastery with a general tendency to insist on strict compliance by trial judges with their obligations in directing juries". Gaudron was part of the progressive Mason and Brennan courts, which decided such influential cases as Cole v


texts:
 Whitfield, Dietrich v The Queen, and the Mabo case. Gaudron was consistently opposed to all forms of discrimination, with notable judgments in this vein including the decision in Street v Queensland Bar Association (on Section 117 of the Constitution of Australia) and her joint judgment with Justice McHugh in Castlemaine Tooheys Ltd v South Australia.<mask> was generally regarded as not particularly emotive in her writing style, although the judgment for which she is perhaps best remembered popularly was the Mabo case, where, in a joint judgment with Justice Deane, she said that Australia's past treatment of Indigenous Australians was "the darkest aspect of the history of this nation". The award of Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) was made to six of the seven serving High Court justices in the Bicentennial Australia Day Honours of 1988. Gaudron had declined the award without explanation. On 19 September 1997 <mask> was appointed the founding Patron of Australian Women Lawyers and continued in this role until 20 February 2009. Retirement
On 21 June 2002, <mask> announced her retirement from the High Court, effective from 10 February 2003. She left the court at the age of just 60, ten years before she reached the mandatory retirement age. <mask>'s early retirement was lamented by all areas of the legal profession.Justice Michael Kirby, who was a close friend of <mask>, has stated many times that her absence left the court with a different character and turned it into "a more blokey place". In March 2003, <mask> joined the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2004 she was a member of an inquiry into trade union rights in Belarus. She was also appointed as a judge of the ILO's Administrative Tribunal. From July 2011, she has been appointed as President of the Tribunal. Criticism
<mask> has occasionally been criticised throughout her career. At the time of her appointment to the High Court in 1987, the New South Wales legal magazine Justinian published anonymous remarks stating "a melancholy catalogue of sins of omission and commission as well as the better claims of others" ought to have weighed against her

 appointment, and that she held "an emotional disposition inappropriate in a holder of judicial office".Jack Waterford in The Canberra Times observed that her appointment would likely be controversial as she was "strongly identified with the Labor Party, and despite a formidable career, has not generally been regarded as in the front rank of the legal profession". When she announced her retirement, an anonymous academic said that Gaudron had failed to achieve the expectations set by her supporters, and that among the other High Court Justices, Gaudron was "erratic" and "certainly not among the court's greats". Another anonymous academic said that Gaudron's Labor connections had delivered her unearned promotions. Approbation
Despite this anonymous criticism, Gaudron also received much praise. Former President of the New South Wales Bar, Ruth McColl, described Gaudron's contribution to Australian law as "an extraordinarily humanising effect ... the strong views she expresses in cases involving discrimination and like issues, are very influential and important in the development of the law in those areas". The Anti-Discrimination Commissioner of Tasmania, Jocelynne Scutt, said that "her contribution has been outstanding both as a jurist and as an advocate. And it has been profoundly significant in terms of her being a woman, too."Former Chief Justice Anthony Mason remarked that <mask>'s "contribution just can't be described as symbolic", but rather she had "made a very significant and genuine contribution" to Australian law. <mask> described herself in 2005 as privileged "to be a bit player in the maintenance of the rule of law in Australia". Family
Gaudron has two daughters, Danielle and Julienne, with her first husband, Ben Nurse. Danielle was born during her final year of Law School and Julienne was a baby at her appointment to the Arbitration Commission. She also has a son, Patrick, with her second husband, John Fogarty. See also

<mask> (July 31, 1920March 11, 2000) was a Belgian-born American philologist and religious studies scholar. He specialized in Germanic and Indo-European studies and was active at the University of Texas at Austin for much of his career. Holding a PhD in Germanic philology from the Free University of Brussels, <mask> was professor and head of the Department of Linguistics at the Official University of the Congo and Ruanda-Urundi in the late 1950s and conducted research on Bantu languages. He subsequently served as a professor of comparative linguistics and religions at the University of Texas at Austin from 1962 to 1997. While a professor at Austin, <mask> co-founded the Journal of Indo-European Studies, of which he was an editor for many years. <mask> was known as a specialist on Indo-European and Germanic religion. He was an author and editor of numerous scholarly publications, and the teacher of several students who subsequently became prominent scholars in his fields of study.Early life and education
<mask><mask> was born in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, a suburb of Brussels, Belgium, on July 31, 1920, the only child of Marcel Félicien <mask> and Berthe Henry. His father was a Walloon, and his mother was Flemish, but both of his parents spoke French at home. He spoke Dutch with the family maid. <mask> attended a Dutch-language primary school, and received his secondary education at the French-language Athénée Royal de Koekelberg, where he immersed himself in classical philology and acquired proficiency in Latin, Greek, German and

He would eventually acquire proficiency in a large number of languages, including several Italic (such as French, Italian and Latin), Germanic (such as Dutch, English, German, Swedish, Danish and Gothic), Indo-Iranian (such as Hindi, Sanskrit, Pali, Avestan and Old Persian), Celtic, Baltic and Bantu languages (particularly Swahili), and Greek and Hittite. After winning a scholarship, <mask> entered the Free University of Brussels to study Germanic philology. Passing his freshman exams with the highest distinction, <mask> was conscripted into the Belgian Armed Forces during the Battle of Belgium.He subsequently resumed his studies, receiving a candidature (roughly equivalent to a bachelor's degree) in Germanic philology in 1941. The Free University of Brussels was closed by the German occupiers in 1942. In 1943, Polomé gained a licenciate (roughly equivalent to a master's degree) in Germanic philology at the University of Louvain. While gaining his licenciate he also worked on Sanskrit and Indology with Étienne Lamotte. During this time, Polomé developed a strong interest in the comparative study of religions and cultures, which he would maintain for the rest of his life. Since his youth, Polomé had been deeply interested in Germanic religion. Inspired by the pioneering research of Georges Dumézil, Polomé aimed towards specializing in the comparative study of Germanic religion, but this ambition was shattered by stigma associated with the topic in the aftermath of World War II.After the

 end of World War II in Europe, <mask> joined the United States Army as an interpreter in Germany. He combined his work for the Americans with the study of Celtic. Returning to Belgium <mask> re-enrolled at the University of Brussels, completing his PhD degree in Germanic philology in 1949 with the highest distinction. His PhD thesis was on the laryngeal theory of Indo-European linguistics, and was supervised by . During his research for the dissertation, <mask> came in contact with the foremost scholars on Indo-European linguistics of the day, including Dumézil, Julius Pokorny, Émile Benveniste, Jerzy Kuryłowicz and Winfred P. Lehmann. He also became greatly interested in the research of the Romanian historian of religion Mircea Eliade. The works of Dumézil in particular would have very strong influence on <mask>, who became one of Dumézil's most consistent supporters.Dumézil, Benveniste and Eliade would remain lifelong friends of Polomé. While working for his PhD, <mask> got involved with the Théonoé group established by Henri Grégoire at the Royal Library of Belgium, where he acquired new perspectives on Germanic religion. Early career
From 1942 to 1956, Polomé taught Germanic languages on a non-regular basis at the Athénée Adolphe Max in Brussels. From 1954 to 1956 he taught Dutch at the Belgian Broadcasting Corporation. <mask> was subsequently appointed to the faculty of the Official University of the Congo and Ruanda-Urundi in Élisabethville (now Lubumbashi), Belgian Congo.
