Zerby, and other Family members, had their locations isolated and their names kept secret with pseudonyms.<mask>, according to Munumel, spent years trying to find Zerby and his half-sister, Techi, whom he wanted to take out of The Family. In summer of 2004, <mask> left Munumel. Later, they both separated, but according to her they continued to talk "every day". <mask> traveled to San Diego, where he met Martin in person. <mask> had staked out a branch of The Family Care Foundation, according to Martin, who also said <mask> noticed Smith served on board the charity, in addition to being a member of Elderhaven, a nursing home his grandparents ran, in Tucson, Arizona. According to a statement made later by Munumel, <mask> also heard that Zerby and Techi were going to visit his grandparents there at Elderhaven, during Christmas of 2003. He stayed with his aunt, Rosemary Kanspedos, and her family in Tucson for a month.He also received a job as an electrician. His boss, electrical contractor Mark Flynn, and his wife, said he never gave him details about his prior life. On January 7, 2005, <mask> made a videotape recording in his (North Side Tucson) apartment in which he discusses his thoughts of suicide and his desire for revenge, describing himself as a vigilante. <mask> shows numerous weapons and devices such as his Glock 23 pistol, KA-BAR knife, a drill, a soldering iron, and duct tape, some of which he says are for torture.

He says if he does not find her before he dies, he "will keep hunting her in the next life" or someone else will "pick up the torch". <mask> alludes to Smith as a person he intends to kill and predicts his upcoming attempt at retribution will result in conflict with law enforcement but states he has respect towards and does not intend to harm the police.He also confirms his 2004 post on "Moving On" was aimed at recruiting someone to help carry out his plan and says he is happy no-one with "nothing to lose" contacted him. After recording the video, <mask> called Celeste Jones and told her of his suicidal thoughts. She encouraged him to testify in a legal case and said "things will be taken seriously". <mask> told Jones he did not believe her. <mask> sent the video to Munumel, two of his family members, and Martin. The next day, <mask> invited Smith to dinner in his apartment. After Smith arrived, <mask> stabbed her several times in the arm then slit her throat.<mask> left his apartment and drove to Blythe, California, where he arrived at midnight. He rented a motel room and began to call his family members in Lakewood, Washington, notifying them of a body in his apartment. <mask> pulled into a parking lot near 14th Avenue, from where he called Munumel, told her he had killed Smith, and asked her to call the police. He also told Munumel he had killed Smith to avenge his sister Techi and those still in The Family rather than himself. He said Smith "didn't understand what she had done wrong" as she was dying. <mask> called the murder "the hardest thing I ever did in my life" and said it did not make him feel better.

At 8 a.m., a Palo Verde Irrigation District employee who had seen <mask>' body in his car with a gunshot wound to his head called the Blythe Police. The police detective thought <mask> had only committed suicide but he answered Munumel's call to <mask>' cell phone and she told him of the murder. Blythe Police then notified Tucson Police Department officers of Smith's body in <mask>' apartment. Aside from his video, <mask> left no suicide note. Detective Sgt. Mark Fuller, who was in charge of the homicide investigation, assumed <mask> had killed Smith because she was responsible for his abuse but because of scant details about her involvement in his childhood, at the time of the murder authorities could not ascertain the real motive.According to the police, there was no evidence Smith was tortured for information on the whereabouts of Zerby. Tucson Police Department spokesman Sgt. Carlos Valdez said Smith died shortly before her body was recovered and that <mask> left for Blythe 12 hours prior. Smith's birth name was Susan Joy Kauten; her name-change would have delayed the notification of her death to her family if she was not carrying her cell phone, which gave her birth name. A memorial for <mask> was held in San Diego on March 26, 2005. In her eulogy, Munumel said while <mask> "chose a path that no one could share with him", he knew she loved him.

texts: A. Kent, a professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta, said while <mask> was unjustifiable in the murder, one "can understand his frustration and rage" because "he and others from that generation" had never seen justice "from all the abuse they suffered". Rick Alan Ross from the Cult Education Institute was unsurprised by <mask>' actions. Ross, who interviewed numerous former members of The Family, including Berg's daughter and granddaughter, noted that <mask> reflected the many suicides of those who suffered "tremendous amount of pain" from being in "one of the most horrifically abusive and destructive cults in American history". Don Lattin, a journalist and author who spent two years studying <mask>' motives for the murder, published a book called "Jesus Freaks". He believed <mask> was a "time bomb" waiting to go off because he exhibited aggressive tendencies and expressed guilt for other victims' abuse. According to Lattin, the abuse was not accounted for because "there's a statute of limitations. A lot of this happened a long time ago outside of the U.S. by people who kept constantly changing their names ...So even the victims, the kids themselves, often don't know who abused them". Daniel Nathan Roselle was sad rather than angry the murder-suicide took place. He said; "the only way anybody's listening" to the stories of abuse within the group "is that Rick and Angela died". He also said <mask>' suicide brought the total of suicides in his peer group to 30, but that he considered <mask>' abuse to be one of the worst cases from The Family. John LaMattery, a former second-generation leader, said <mask>' death was "a monumental event" in the group's

 history and predicted The Family would "spin it" in an attempt to disregard unfulfilled prophecies, saying the cult was in "damage control". He also believed <mask> killed Smith because he could not find Zerby. After <mask>' death, former members of The Family made similar allegations of abuse.For example, Juliana Buhring, co-author of the book Not Without My Sister (which details her family's experiences within the cult), mentioned that most of the children she and people like <mask> grew up with in the cult were sexually abused. She empathized with the rage he felt, especially when he had "no closure" and "no restitution" to it. Numerous members of the website "Moving On" expressed their concerns about the incident. Editors of the website described the situation as "a horrible tragedy, and something that we sincerely hope is never repeated". Staff at Palo Alto's Restoration Hardware, Smith's workplace remembered her as a kind person and her boss stated; "There was nothing creepy about Angela". The non-profit Safe Passage Foundation was established partially as a result of <mask>' suicide in an aim to protect minors from "high-demand organisations", and to provide them with support and resources to leave those groups. The Family
In an internal memo, Zerby told followers of The Family that reporters were trying to "make <mask> look like a hero and role model" rather than a perpetrator of a crime.In another memo, which was sent to an estimated 12,000 followers, Peter Amsterdam urged members of the cult to disregard media reports and internet news about the murder-suicide and said <mask> was "overcome by the enemy and forces of darkness" and that Zerby is "the sweetest, most

Techi stated in a letter she became "deeply disturbed" after learning about <mask>by and "messages from Jesus". Claire Borowik, the spokesperson for The Family, said both deaths were tragic but that media reports portrayed Smith as an offender and <mask> as a victim. She said Smith was never <mask>' nanny but had only visited him and that The Family gave him "ample financial and emotional support" when he wanted to become independent. Borowik also compared <mask>' upbringing to one in "a nudist colony" and cited scholars who argue sexual practices similar to those of The Family do not harm children.In regards to the "Davidito" prophecy, Borowik said The Family "knew that Davidito wasn't fulfilling that prophecy" because prophecies of the group were always "dependent on man's choices". Borowik also said former members, whom she called apostates, failed to move <mask> in "positive directions" and wanted "to do damage to our movement". She criticized Lattin's book for "inaccuracies, misconceptions and erroneous conclusions", and "sketchy research". In media
British documentary series Cutting Edge'''s episode "Cult Killer" is about <mask>' story leading up to the murder. Lattin's book "Jesus Freaks: A True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge" recounts the events of <mask>' life in a story-like setting. HBO's documentary "Children of God: Lost and Found", which is about The Family and was directed by former member Noah Thomson, includes footage from <mask>' video. References

 War, Almanzo kept a faithful record of camp life in a pocket-sized journal. He discussed food, death, home life, sickness, weather, finances, officers, religion, camp recreation, military movements, and military discipline. While stationed in Georgetown just outside Washington, D.C., Almanzo attended congressional sessions and recorded the debates in the Senate and House of Representatives. He also visited Mount Vernon, the U.S. Treasury, and the Smithsonian Institution during his excursions into town. On one very special day, Almanzo shook hands with President Abraham Lincoln. Later Years
In 1866 <mask> and Alexander purchased land from the First Baptist Church of Rushford, New York.They cut down trees and shaped the land into a working farm. Although a freeze destroyed their first wheat crop, the two brothers succeeded in making cheese, raising cattle and sheep, and growing wheat, potatoes, and apples. In 1875, the Gazetter and Business Directory recorded that <mask> and Alexander were also the proprietors of a flouring mill. Following the war, <mask> took a commercial course and graduated from Eastman's College in Poughkeepsie, New York.

In 1904, Almanzo was on the board of trustees for the Methodist Episcopal Church in Rushford, New York. He also became the superintendent of Sunday School. During his ministry at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Almanzo pushed for the purchase of a church bell. He died in 1906 before the church purchased the bell, but the church honored Almanzo by inscribing “Milton M<mask>, the sweet singer, and <mask> W<mask>, the Sunday School Superintendent” on the rim of their new bell. Legacy
In 1910 Helen Gilbert reminisced about the Litchard farm in her book Rushford and Rushford People:
The one hundred acres now owned by Mrs. Jennie <mask> Gilbert was given to our Baptist Church by the Holland Land Company. It was very heavily timbered with pine and was divided up into five and ten-acre lots and sold to the highest bidder.That gave those that had no timber a chance to secure some. I can remember when our Baptist Church stood in the woods on that farm. People said the land would not be worth a dollar

This plan, in part, works to do so by only issuing business licenses to qualifying equity applicants for a period of two-years. The ordinance also included a new oversight board to assess and vote on applications for licenses based on a set criteria. It was by the City Council in November 2019. Walsh signed the ordinance into law later that month. Other matters
In June 2014, the Boston City Council unanimously passed an ordinance <mask> coauthored with fellow councilwoman Ayanna Pressley, which

 prohibits Boston's city government, "from contracting with any health insurer that denies coverage or discriminates in the amount of premium, policy fees, or rates charged...because of gender identity or expression". This ordinance guaranteed healthcare (including gender reassignment surgery, hormone therapy, and mental health services) to transgender city employees and their dependents.<mask> called the ordinance, "a matter of equity and of fairness". The ordinance had the support of Mayor Walsh prior to its passage. In 2018, <mask> proposed legislation that would establish a city identification card program in Boston. <mask> was a leading force in the years-long effort that established the Boston Little Saigon Cultural District. Other political activity

In 2016, <mask> endorsed Lydia Edwards' unsuccessful campaign in the special election for the Suffolk and Middlesex Massachusetts Senate district. <mask> was among the earliest supporters of Ayanna Pressley's successful 2018 Democratic primary election challenge to incumbent U.S. congressman Mike Capuano. In the 2018 election cycle, <mask> also endorsed Jay Gonzalez's unsuccessful campaign in the Massachusetts gubernatorial election.She also endorsed State Senator Byron Rushing in his unsuccessful 2018 reelection campaign. <mask> endorsed Elizabeth Warren's 2020 presidential campaign in a speech at Warren's official campaign launch in February 2019. <mask> was a campaign surrogate for Warren, campaigning on her behalf in New Hampshire and Iowa ahead of those states' primary and caucuses, respectively. Recognition
At the end of 2013, the readers of Boston magazine voted <mask> to be named the magazine's 2013 "Rookie of the Year", one three political awards given by the magazine that year. In

 2017, the Massachusetts Democratic Party awarded <mask> its Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Award, which it considers its highest honor. In March 2018, <mask> was among six finalists to be honored as a "Rising Star" by EMILY's List, a national group that supports female Democratic candidates who support abortion rights. The next month, <mask> was listed as one of the "100 Most Influential People in Boston" by Boston magazine.In 2019, Rachel Allen of The Atlantic wrote that <mask> had emerged as one of Boston's "most effective politicians". Mayoral campaign

Primary election
Since at least 2019, <mask> was viewed as a potential challenger to incumbent mayor Marty Walsh, if Walsh sought reelection in 2021. In September 2020, Walsh told The Boston Globe that <mask> had told him of her intent to run in 2021. Later that month, <mask> announced her candidacy, declaring that she was running a "people-powered campaign to bring new leadership to Boston's executive office". Walsh was designated by President-elect Joe Biden to be his nominee for Secretary of Labor on January 7, 2021, leaving the mayor's race an open seat. Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed <mask> for mayor two days later. In April, an analysis by The Boston Globe found that, of the six major candidates then-running, <mask> had received the least financial contributions from real estate developers.Andrew Martinez of Bisnow related this to <mask>'s plans to abolish the Boston Planning & Development Agency. <mask>'s primary election campaign was seen as possibly being boosted by a collection of young internet activists who had vigorously supported her campaign, referred to as the "Markeyverse" due to their support for Senator Ed Markey in his successful reelection campaign the previous year.

<mask> placed first in the nonpartisan primary and advanced to the general election, where she faced fellow city council member Annissa Essaibi George. On September 25, Acting Mayor Kim Janey, who placed fourth in the nonpartisan primary, endorsed <mask> for the general election. After this, <mask> picked up further key endorsements from Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Ed Markey.Martin J. Valencia of The Boston Globe called <mask>'s support from both of Massachusetts' U.S. Senators and Congresswoman Pressley, "an unprecedented level of support from Boston’s federal delegation in an open race for mayor". <mask> has rolled out a number of general election endorsements by community leaders from various cultural communities. In an October 7 article, Meghan E. Irons of The Boston Globe likened this to the 2013 general election campaign of Marty Walsh. At the start of the general election campaign, Joe Battenfield of the Boston Herald described <mask> as the general election's "presumptive front-runner." By early October, there was a wide perception of <mask> being the leading candidate in the general election. At that time, Meghan E. Irons and Meghan E.

Platform and campaign positions
<mask>'s mayoral platform includes her previously outlined proposals for a municipal Green New Deal, fare-free public transit, abolishing the Boston Planning & Development Agency, implementing a food justice agenda, and her previously declared support to reinstate rent stabilization.<mask> also supports restructuring the Boston School Committee (which is currently all-appointed since mayoral control of schools was adopted in the 1990s) to be majority-elected. <mask> calls for the creation of the Teacher Advisory Board, and the empowerment of the Boston Student Advisory Committee. <mask> proposes universal preschool and universal child care for Boston children under five years of age, and for a city office to coordinate early childhood education. <mask>'s police reform plan reiterates her earlier calls for the diversion of nonviolent 9-1-1 calls away from police, and instead to alternative response teams such as mental health clinicians, social workers, and community outreach workers.

<mask> (<mask>), also Sejna in English, (12 May 1927 in Radhostice, Czechoslovakia – 23 August 1997 in New York City) was, in the time of communist Czechoslovakia, a Major General of the Czechoslovak Army. After losing political power and influence at the beginning of the Prague Spring, he sought refuge in the US consulate in Trieste and defected to the United States. He is the second highest-ranked officer to ever defect to the West from the Eastern Bloc, behind Lieutenant General Ion Mihai Pacepa of the Romanian Securitate. Significant motive for escape were his economic crimes. Among others, he illegally supplied collective farms with clover seed, hence he got nickname The Seed General (Semínkový generál). In 1974, he disclosed detailed Soviet plans of how to occupy Austria in case of an all-European war for speedy advances into Tito's Yugoslavia from the north west, across Italy's Friuli and the city of Trieste. The scenario, codenamed Polarka, foresaw a speedy occupation of Eastern Austria and Vienna much in the style of Czechoslovakia's occupation in August 1968, retaking Austria's post-war Soviet occupation zone from 1945 to 1955.Life

Rise to power
During the 1950s and 1960s, <mask> rose through the ranks of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) thanks to his political contacts and friends – like with Antonín Novotný Jr., the son of President Antonín Novotný and General Lomský at the Ministry of National Defence (Ministerstvo národní obrany, MNO) – built up a privileged position in the Czechoslovak People's Army

 (Československá lidová armáda, ČSLA). In 1956, he became Chief of the Secretariat of the MNO, in 1963 the Chief Secretary of the Main Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia at the MNO. In October 1967, he was promoted to the rank of General. He fully supported Stalinist practices of suppression and intimidation. Before the Prague Spring of 1968 began, the Czechoslovak Communist Party and affiliated members of the Soviet regime sought change through new leadership. Novotný's position as First Secretary (since 1953) and President (since 1957) weakened. There were soon speculations about <mask>'s personal participation in the planned military action of the army to support Novotný in the first weeks of 1968.Expecting backlash from reformers, "… General <mask> convinced the presidium of the Main Party Committee in the Ministry of Defense to send to the Central Committee a petition … insisting on Novotný's retention as first secretary." When Šejna failed to bring about Novotný's reinstatement, he began plotting a military coup, a plan which failed to gain support as well. Novotný was finally replaced by Alexander Dubček, a reform-minded member of the Czechoslovak party presidium, as leader of the party. Losing power, changing sides
Losing his political influence, <mask> was under investigation for corruption: "… the official case against General Šejna was limited to charges that he had allegedly misappropriated 300,000 crowns ($20,000) worth of state-owned alfalfa and clover seed". However, before he could be arrested he

 defected in February 1968 with his son and his son's fiancée to Italy and settled in the US. News of <mask>'s indictment and defection quickly spread through Czechoslovakia's increasingly open press. He soon came to be known as "Clover Seed General" for his alleged massive embezzlement of clover.Šejna was granted asylum in the United States, much to the dismay of Soviet authorities and became an intelligence source for American agencies and policy makers. According to Czechoslovak ambassador Duda, it was ironic that, "<mask>, who represented the worst elements of the conservative clique in Prague, should find haven in the United States". In 1970, <mask> was sentenced by Czechoslovak courts in absentia to ten years in prison, to the forfeiture of his property and loss of all of his official titles and decorations. Czechoslovakia unsuccessfully requested the US to extradite him. Life in the United States
In the following three decades in the United States, <mask> worked as a counterintelligence analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency later as a consultant to the Defense Intelligence Agency until his death in 1997. He spoke out in interviews and appeared before U.S. Congressional committees. Facts and fiction

He claimed "that the Soviet intelligence agency directed terrorist training camps in Czechoslovakia in the mid-60s … the Soviet Union collaborated with North Korea in the capture of the U.S. intelligence ship Pueblo from Pacific waters in 1968 and that Cuba and Czechoslovakia worked together to establish drug-trafficking

 networks throughout Latin America and to infiltrate those in existence … the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia tested drugs on U.S. prisoners of war during the Korean and Vietnam wars".In his book We Will Bury You, <mask> gave an insight into Soviet Cold War strategies, quoting Konstantin Katushev, secretary of the Soviet Central Committee: "If we can impose on the U.S.A. the external restraints proposed in our Plan, and seriously disrupt the American economy, the working and the lower middle classes will suffer the consequences and they will turn on the society that has failed them. They will be ready for revolution." He provided a lot of interesting facts about the Communist power system and its protagonists. However, he also fabricated some mere speculations. Along with the information he provided concerning covert Soviet strategy, he also gave the West an otherwise shrouded picture of political strife and reform in the Communist state of Czechoslovakia.

 Czechoslovaks participated in human experiments on US POWs in North Korea in the early 1950s (see also section Speculations about medical experiments on POWs in the Ludvík Souček entry)

<mask> FRS CorrFRSE (born 18 October 1945) is an English mathematician who works on symplectic geometry. She was the first recipient of the Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics, was a Noether Lecturer, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society. Early life and education
<mask> was born in London, England, on 18 October 1945 to Edinburgh architect Margaret Justin Blanco White, second wife of biologist Conrad Hal Waddington, her father. Her sister is the anthropologist Caroline Humphrey, and she has an elder half-brother C. Jake Waddington by her father's first marriage. Her mother was the daughter of Amber Reeves, the noted feminist, author and lover of H. G. Wells. McDuff grew up in Scotland where her father was Professor of Genetics at the University of Edinburgh. McDuff was educated at St George's School for Girls in Edinburgh and, although the standard was lower than at the corresponding boys' school, The Edinburgh Academy, McDuff had an exceptionally good mathematics teacher.She writes:

I always wanted to be a mathematician (apart from a time when I was eleven when I wanted to be a farmer's wife), and assumed that I would have a career, but I had no idea how to go about it: I didn't realize that the choices which one made about education were important and I had no idea that I might experience real difficulties and conflicts in reconciling the demands of a career with life as a woman. Turning down a scholarship to the University of Cambridge to stay with her boyfriend in Scotland, she enrolled at the University of Edinburgh. She graduated with a BSc Hons in 1967, going on to Girton College, Cambridge as a doctoral student. Here, under the guidance

 of mathematician George A. Reid, McDuff worked on problems in functional analysis. She solved a problem on Von Neumann algebras, constructing infinitely many different factors of type II1, and published the work in the Annals of Mathematics. After completing her doctorate in 1971 McDuff was appointed to a two-year Science Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cambridge. Following her husband, the literary translator <mask>, she left for a six-month visit to Moscow.Her husband was studying the Russian Symbolist poet Innokenty Annensky. Though McDuff had no specific plans it turned out to be a profitable visit for her mathematically. There, she met Israel Gelfand in Moscow who gave her a deeper appreciation of mathematics. <mask> later wrote:
[My collaboration with him]... was not planned: it happened that his was the only name which came to mind when I had to fill out a form in the Inotdel office. The first thing that Gel'fand told me was that he was much more interested in the fact that my husband was studying the Russian Symbolist poet Innokenty Annensky than that I had found infinitely many type II-sub-one factors, but then he proceeded to open my eyes to the world of mathematics. It was a wonderful education, in which reading Pushkin, Mozart and Salieri played as important a role as learning about Lie groups or reading Cartan and Eilenberg. Gel'fand amazed me by talking of mathematics as though it were poetry.He once said about a long paper bristling with formulas that it contained the vague beginnings of an idea which he could only hint at and which he had never managed to bring out more clearly. I had always thought of mathematics as

 being much more straightforward: a formula is a formula, and an algebra is an algebra, but Gel'fand found hedgehogs lurking in the rows of his spectral sequences! On returning to Cambridge <mask> started attending Frank Adams's topology lectures and was soon invited to teach at the University of York. In 1975 she separated from her husband, and was divorced in 1978. At the University of York, she "essentially wrote a second PhD" while working with Graeme Segal. At this time a position at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) opened up for her, reserved for visiting female mathematicians. Her career as a mathematician developed further while at MIT, and soon she was accepted to the Institute for Advanced Study where she worked with Segal on the Atiyah–Segal completion theorem.She then returned to England, where she took up a lectureship at the University of Warwick. Around this time she met mathematician John Milnor who was then based in Princeton University. To live closer to him she took up an untenured assistant professorship at the Stony Brook University. Now an independent mathematician, she began work on the relationship between diffeomorphisms and the classifying space for foliations. She has since worked on symplectic topology. In the spring of 1985, <mask> attended the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in Paris to study Mikhael Gromov's work on elliptic methods. Since 2007, she has held the Helen Lyttle Kimmel chair at Barnard College.In 1984 McDuff married John Milnor, a mathematician at Stony Brook University, and a Fields medallist, Wolf Prize winner and Abel Prize Laureate.
