<mask> (born 3 September 1944) is a Welsh serial killer. On 26 May 2011, <mask> was given a whole life order for the 1985 double murder of siblings Richard and Helen Thomas, and the 1989 double murder of Peter and Gwenda Dixon. The murders were known in the media as the "Pembrokeshire Murders" or the "Coastal Murders". <mask> was also sentenced for the rape of a 16-year-old girl and a sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl, both carried out while a group of five teenagers were held at gunpoint in March 1996, in a wooded area behind the Mount Estate in <mask>'s hometown of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire. <mask> had a history of criminal activities, including 30 robberies and violent assault. Footage from the television game show Bullseye in May 1989, in which he appeared as a contestant, was later used as evidence against him, comparing his image with a sketch of a suspect in the Dixons' murder. <mask> was sentenced to 14 years in 1998 for robbery and burglary.He was released from prison in January 2009. Because of subsequent developments in DNA and forensic science, the police carried out a cold case review in April 2009 and were able to identify <mask>'s shotgun as being the murder weapon. Further DNA evidence was provided by forensic scientist Professor Angela Gallop. The police collected further evidence against him and <mask> was arrested again in May of that year. He was convicted, in May 2011, for the double murders and sexual assaults and sentenced to a whole life order. <mask> has also been linked to other, unsolved, crimes. Criminal history
Between the ages of 17 and 21, <mask> was charged with theft of a vehicle, assaulting a police officer, being drunk and disorderly, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH).In 1978, <mask>, then a farm labourer, won £90,000 (worth over £500,000 today) and also a £4,000 car in a newspaper Spot the Ball competition. A friend said: "<mask> developed a huge drink and gambling habit after his winnings went to his head... It was a life-changing amount of money and I saw a real change in him. He spent most of it in pubs and bookies... People were scared of him and he got into a lot of fights. As his money dried up he started the robberies." On 22 December 1985, <mask> targeted a three-storey farmhouse at Scoveston Park, killing brother and sister Richard and Helen Thomas, and then burning down the house. On 29 June 1989, Peter and Gwenda Dixon were on holiday in Pembrokeshire and were due to take their last walk along the coastal path when they failed to return.Their dead bodies were later found along the path. <mask> had tied the couple up, demanded they hand out their bank card and then forced them to disclose their personal identification number (PIN). <mask>, carrying a sawn-off shotgun, robbed Peter Dixon of £300 and shot the couple in the face at point blank range. In 1996 he attacked five youngsters, threatening them with a gun, sexually assaulting one girl and raping another. By 1998, <mask> had committed 30 burglaries and an armed robbery. Footage from an edition of the ITV gameshow Bullseye recorded on 28 May 1989, on which <mask> was a contestant, was later used to match him to a sketch made from witness descriptions. In 2011, <mask> was jailed for life for the crimes.In September 2011, he launched an appeal against his convictions. His appeal was rejected in November 2012.

<mask> was diagnosed as a psychopath. Documentaries and television
The UK television series Real Crime broadcast a documentary about <mask> in November 2011. On 24 May 2016, the Welsh language television channel S4C broadcast a documentary in the series Y Ditectif (The Detective) about the way in which evidence against <mask> was gathered using the latest forensic techniques available at the time, the strategy used by Dyfed-Powys Police in interviewing him and his eventual conviction. On 27 September 2016, the ITV Cymru Wales television channel broadcast a documentary in the series Crime Files which examined how police solved the two double murder cases in Pembrokeshire including an interview with the detective who was tasked with interviewing <mask>. On 12 July 2018, a documentary about <mask>, named The Gameshow Serial Killer: Police Tapes, was aired by ITV as part of the channel's 'Crime and Punishment' season. On 29 January 2019, the UK version of digital channel CBS Reality premiered a further documentary about <mask>'s crimes in an episode of its Murder by the Sea true crime series.In January 2021, ITV broadcast a three-part television series entitled The Pembrokeshire Murders, most exterior scenes of which were filmed on location in Pembrokeshire. This was followed by an hour-long documentary, The Pembrokeshire Murders: Catching The Game Show Killer, featuring interviews with Detective Superintendent Steve Wilkins, the man who reopened the investigation, forensic scientists involved in the case, and footage of <mask> as he was interviewed by police. Possible links to other crimes
After <mask>'s convictions in 2011, the police stated that they would be investigating the possibility he might have been responsible for other murders, adding that <mask>'s trial had led to some "interesting issues" requiring further investigation. Some unsolved murders in South Wales bore notable similarities to <mask>'s known murders. Death of Flo Evans
In May 2011, after <mask> was convicted of the four murders, it was revealed that police were considering reopening an inquiry into the unexplained death in 1989 of another woman who lived near Cooper and only two miles from Scoveston Park, the site of his 1985 murders. A 72-year-old widow Flo Evans had died soon after <mask> had murdered Peter and Gwenda Dixon in 1989, and was found fully-clothed in a half-full cold bath in her cottage. <mask> and his wife Pat both knew Evans and would often visit her at her smallholding, with <mask> often completing odd-jobs for her.She was unexpectedly mentioned by <mask> in his trial as part of his own defence evidence and he also discussed how he had been in her house in his interviews, when detectives were already aware of her suspicious death. Her home was right in the centre of the area that <mask> committed his burglaries. The family of Evans had long suspected her death was suspicious and not an accident, particularly as she never took baths and as she would not have had any hot water at the time of her death, as no fire had been lit in the kitchen. Evans's death was officially recorded as accidental, with it said at the time that she must have slipped into the bath and hit her head and then drowned. Police contacted the widow's family after <mask>'s conviction to discuss her death, saying there was "connectivity" between <mask> and Evans. In the 2021 documentary The Pembrokeshire Murders: Catching The Game Show Killer, shown on ITV after the broadcast of The Pembrokeshire Murders, the case of Flo Evans was again discussed. Detective Superintendent Steve Wilkins, who oversaw the investigation and convictions of <mask> in 2011, said that Evans was a likely fifth victim of <mask>.Evans did not lock her door, yet it was found locked when she was found dead. Evans had mentioned to friends days before her murder that she couldn't find her house keys. Items of property were also taken from her house including money and shotguns, which fitted <mask>'s Modus Operandi. <mask> regularly burgled the homes of people he knew and reacted violently if disturbed. It is thought <mask> would have known where Evans would have kept money. Wilkins said that <mask> "had been at her house on the day she died" and stated that Evans's death should have been a murder inquiry, saying that her death "disturbs me greatly". Murders of Harry and Megan Tooze

After <mask>'s 2011 convictions, it was also revealed that detectives were also investigating whether there was any "connectivity" between <mask> and the unsolved murders of a couple who were shot at close range at their remote farmhouse at Llanharry near Bridgend in 1993.Harry Tooze, 64, and his wife Megan Tooze, 67, had been shot in the head and their bodies dumped in a cowshed and then covered with a carpet. The case remains one of Wales' most notorious unsolved murders. Some similarities with <mask>'s known murders were noted, including the fact that both victims were shot at close range and that attempts were made to hide their bodies. The couple had also both been shot by a shotgun, the weapon <mask> used in his known crimes. It was also observed that there are very few double shotgun murders nationally, and that <mask> was already known to have committed two double shotgun murders. In 2011, the year of <mask>'s convictions for murders, the case was subsequently re-examined by police. Deaths of Griff and Patti Thomas
In 2011 a forensic psychologist, Dr Clive Sims, claimed to the BBC that the deaths of an elderly brother and sister at their farmhouse in Pembrokeshire in 1976 could be linked to <mask>.Griff and Patti Thomas, aged 73 and 70 respectively, were found dead in December 1976, and their deaths were originally classified as a double murder until it was decided that Griff Thomas must have argued with the sister he had lived with for 70 years, before hitting her on the head with a blunt instrument and setting himself on fire. Speaking to BBC Wales's Taro Naw current affairs programme, Sims questioned the verdict of manslaughter in the case of Patti Thomas and an open verdict in the case of Griff Thomas. Although it was said that Patti was hit by a blunt instrument, no weapon was ever found. Sims said that the pair were killed by an intruder following a botched burglary, something <mask> was known to have committed in the same area in later years, as in <mask>'s 1985 double murder at Scoveston Park. A cash box had been emptied at the house, the bureau has been broken into, and the back door was unlocked. Sims highlighted how it was highly unlikely that a serial killer would start killing at age 40, <mask>'s age when he committed his first known murders in 1985, and said that it was highly likely that he started killing earlier.

Jovan "<mask><mask> (Serbian: Јован "Џон" Лукић, Jovan "Džon" Lukić; born 11 December 1960) is an English football coach and former professional footballer. He played as a goalkeeper from 1978 to 2001 and spent his entire professional career for Leeds United and Arsenal, making 596 league appearances altogether over two spells with each club. He played in the Premier League for both, winning the League Cup and First Division title in his first spell at Highbury, he was part of the double winning Premier League and FA Cup winning squad of 1997–98 season but didn't play enough games to win a medal, however he was on the bench for the 1999 Charity Shield victory. His Leeds accolades included another First Division title win in 1992 and the following summer's Charity Shield. He was capped for both the England U21 and England B teams. Club career
<mask> signed for Leeds United as a schoolboy. He learnt from David Harvey and replaced him, initially in a UEFA Cup Round One, Second Leg, tie against Valletta 3 October 1979, and then in the League at Brighton & Hove Albion on 13 October 1979 and went on to play 165 games for the Elland Road side.After making a transfer request, <mask> moved to Arsenal in July 1983 for £75,000, as a long-term replacement for Pat Jennings. In March 1984 Jennings was injured playing against Coventry City at Highfield Road and <mask> came into the side for four games, making his debut on 7 April 1984 against Stoke City at Highbury in a 3–1 win. The following season, 1984-85, on Halloween night 31 October 1984 Jennings had a bit of a horror show against Oxford United away in the League Cup, where Arsenal got knocked out 3–2, and Jennings got dropped for one game and <mask> came in to replace him, and though Jennings returned for the next three games, <mask> came back into the side and played every game for the rest of the season, nailing down the number one keepers spot. In 1985-86 Lukic missed just three games in all competitions and in 1986-87 he clinched his first winners medal and won the League Cup Final against Liverpool. In 1987-88 Lukic was ever present playing in all 52 matches Arsenal played that season including the return trip to Wembley against Luton Town to defend the League Cup, but Arsenal lost. However, there were better days to come for Lukic and Arsenal in 1988-89, where Arsenal won the title in the last minute of the game against Liverpool. Lukic played his full part in it as he played every minute of every game that season.1989-90 was <mask>'s last season in his first spell at the club. For the third season in a row he played in every single Arsenal match. In the summer of 1990 Arsenal manager George Graham signed David Seaman from Queens Park Rangers – Seaman had been <mask>'s understudy at Leeds. On his departure, Graham commented "I still think <mask> is one of the best keepers in the country; I just think David Seaman is the best". Having played 277 times for the Gunners, <mask> rejoined Leeds. He became their most expensive signing in May 1990, to replace the ageing Mervyn Day, playing a further 265 times. <mask> won a second League title in 1991–92 and a runners up medal in the League Cup in 1995–96 where Leeds lost to Aston Villa at Wembley.Manager Howard Wilkinson signed Nigel Martyn from Crystal Palace in the summer of 1996 and <mask> rejoined Arsenal on a free-transfer in July 1996. <mask> was granted a Testimonial by Leeds United and his two teams, Leeds United and Arsenal, met at Elland Road on 31 August 1996, in which he played for Arsenal in the first half and Leeds in the second half. As deputy to David Seaman, he played 15 league games in 1996–97 as cover, but after the signing of Alex Manninger in 1997 he stepped down to No. 3. However, with Manninger injured, <mask> was on the bench for Arsenal's 2000 UEFA Cup Final loss to Galatasaray, earning him a runners-up medal. In 2000, after a series of injuries to the club's other 'keepers, he made a brief return to the first team, playing four times. The last of these four games, against Derby County, was a month shy of his 40th birthday; another one of these, a match against Lazio on 17 October 2000 made him, at the time, the oldest player ever to take part in a UEFA Champions League match.This has since been surpassed by Dany Verlinden, Alessandro Costacurta and Marco Ballotta. He retired in 2001 and now coaches part-time. He has won the league with two clubs, a feat he shares with fellow professionals such as Nicolas Anelka, Eric Cantona, Carlos Tevez, Ashley Cole, and Kevin Richardson. He is one of possibly four players to have played in the top flight of English football in four decades, the other players to attain this achievement are Peter Shilton, Steve Ogrizovic and Stanley Matthews. International career
By the 1980s Lukic had attracted the attention of the then Yugoslavia side who approached him about playing for them. He declined to pursue England selection. Though Lukic played for England at youth and under-21 level, he never won a cap for the senior team.On 11 December 1990 he was called up to the England "B" squad to play Algeria in Algiers and he kept a clean-sheet in a 0–0 draw against the Algerian top team as he came on as a half-time replacement for Nigel Martyn, who was with Crystal Palace at the time. It was to be his last representative appearance. Personal life
<mask> was born in Chesterfield to Yugoslavian parents; an urban legend states that <mask>'s mother survived the Munich air disaster while pregnant with him; this is untrue, as the crash happened in February 1958, more than two years before <mask> was born. There was a Mrs Lukić on board the plane, who did survive (along with her young daughter) after being saved by Manchester United goalkeeper Harry Gregg. <mask> has a son, also called <mask> and also a goalkeeper, who was a youth player at Nottingham Forest until 2005; he signed professional terms with Grimsby Town in June 2005 to act as understudy to Steve Mildenhall for the 2005–06 season. However, he was released at the end of the season and briefly signed for Barnsley before disappearing from competitive football. As of 2011.Lukic worked as a freelance goalkeeping coach.

<mask> (born 1956) is an American bicycle frame builder, Category 1 racer, fabricator, designer, and founder of Ritchey Design. <mask> is a US pioneer  in modern frame building and the first production mountain bike builder/manufacturer in the history of the sport. He is an innovator of bicycle components that have been used in winning some of the biggest cycling competitions in the world including the UCI World Championships, the Tour de France and the Olympics. In 1988, <mask> was inducted into the inaugural Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in Crested Butte, Colorado (now located in Fairfax, California): and 2012, inducted to the United States Bicycle Hall of Fame in Davis, California. Early years
<mask> moved to Menlo Park, California, from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, in 1963, when his father was hired as an engineer at Ampex Corporation, an electronics company located in Redwood City, California, pioneered the magnetic tape recorder. <mask> attributes his interest in bicycles to his father's interest in cycling, as his father found cycling as a means to get to work and fell in love with the sport himself. At age 11, <mask>'s father taught <mask>. to build his wheels and repair tubular tires.<mask> started a small business repairing tires to earn money to buy his first road bike, a Raleigh Super Course. When he was 14, <mask> joined the Belmont Bicycle Club (BBC) and began racing. Shortly after this, he upgraded his bike to a frame he repaired himself, a broken Cinelli "B." His father taught him how to braze around this time, and he started repairing bicycle frames for local racers. After learning to repair/replace other builders' damaged tubes, <mask> built his first racing frame. He decided to build his frame out of a necessity for an affordable, lighter, faster bike. He bought the tube set and lugs from local builder Hugh Enox at the time for $21, and in 1972 built his first frame, which he raced on that year.He won many junior races and titles on this very frame, and eventually, on future bikes he built, he won the Senior Prestige Road trophy and the BAR (Best All-Around Rider) in 1973 and 1974 as a Junior. These feats led to <mask> being known as the "Senior Slayer", having beaten top Californians (many of whom considered to be some of the best riders in the U.S. at the time) and former Olympians. <mask> rode for Team USA's Junior Worlds road racing squad, and then a stint on the U.S. National Road Team. In 1976, <mask> retired from road racing. He continued to race mountain bikes through the early 1980s, competing more recently in races like the Downieville Classic, La Ruta, Trans Andes, Trans Alps and Cape Epic in South Africa. During his early racing years, Ritchey began building bikes for Palo Alto Bicycles and its national mail order catalog. In 1974, as his senior year in high school approached, Ritchey had already built approximately 200 frames.It was around this time he honed his fillet brazing or "lugless" method of fabricating frames. <mask> sought to challenge bicycle industry standards of frame tubing diameter at the time limited by the use of fixed dimensioned lugs. <mask>'s fillet brazing construction method allowed the choice of larger thin-wall tubing diameters and unique ovalizations to create lighter -stiffer frames. By 1979, <mask> had produced over 1,000 frames on his own. Personal life

<mask> is married to his second wife, Martha. Together they have six children; son Jay, and daughters Sara and Annie (<mask>), and sons Steven, David, and Christopher (Martha). <mask> and Martha have six grandchildren.Off-road riding and the mountain bike
<mask> often cites his friend, the late Jobst Brandt as being crucial not only to his development as a cyclist and component designer, but for his deep passion in off-road riding. Brandt, author of the iconic book, The Bicycle Wheel, had a riding style that was unlike anyone else at the time. Brandt would lead his infamous rides that quickly left the paved roads behind and ventured onto to dirt single-track trails on traditional road bikes with no modification—something completely unheard in the 1960s and '70s. In 1978, <mask> was approached by Joe Breeze and Otis Guy to build a tandem for them to use in a record attempt across America. Breeze brought his newly made off-road "ballooner" bike to Ritchey's shop in Menlo Park. While he credits Joe Breeze for building the first custom off-road specific 26" wheeled frame, however, known only to a few people, <mask> had already built an off-road specific 650b bike along the design lines of a fatter tired, flat barred "woodsy/cow trail" bike. <mask> says he was influenced by the late John Finley Scott, who encouraged him to build a bike for years with 650b wheels and tires.Upon seeing Joe's bike, he said, "I think I’ll build something like that also." Breeze returned to his home of Fairfax, CA and told Gary Fisher of <mask>'s intentions to build a 26" "ballooner." Immediately, Fisher called <mask> and asked <mask> to build him one as well. Because of <mask>'s production mindset, he built a third frame. When Fisher picked up his frame a few months later and learned of the third frame, he told <mask>, "I can sell that." The seeds of the new "mountain bike" company were sewn, beginning with Fisher selling bike #3 to a fellow Marin resident. These "ballooners" were first featured in BMX Plus magazine, before the world identified them as a mountain bike, and a new buzz surrounded this new style of off-road bike.Fisher enlisted the help of his friend and roommate, Charlie Kelly, to market and sell the bikes <mask> was building. Because <mask> had years of custom frame and component manufacturing experience, he was uniquely suited to tackle and establish many of the new designs and standards this new breed of bicycle would require. The company initially was called Ritchey MountainBikes, with Ritchey fillet brazing over 1000 bikes over the course of those beginning three years. This high volume of production lead to <mask> becoming mountain biking's first production frame builder, earning him the moniker, "The General Motors of mountain bike frame companies," from Mike Sinyard of Specialized. The informal business lasted about three years, with <mask> building the bikes in the mountains of the south bay peninsula while Fisher and Kelly sold them out of Fairfax and Marin. In 1983, <mask> left the relationship. Kelly also left due to personal reasons.On his own, <mask> sold his remaining frames to a new company out of British Columbia, called Rocky Mountain Bicycles. Out of this turbulent time <mask> built his own sales and marketing company, hired a retired professional road racer, Mike Neel, as his salesman and created Ritchey Design. By the early 80s general interest in cycling was in decline, however, mountain biking was growing. Events like Pearl Pass and the NORBA '83 National Championships drove interest in the emerging sport. By the mid 1980s, over 25 percent of the bike industry was based on mountain bikes, with Ritchey emerging as the #1 off-road component design company outside of Shimano. Innovations
Again, Jobst Brandt was crucial to the young and aspiring <mask>, and the products he was designing. Brandt, a mechanical engineer at Hewlett Packard, always called into question <mask>'s new ideas—scrutinizing every detail of his designs.<mask>, who sought to design and produce components that were light and fast, was often countered by Brandt who demanded components be durable and strong enough to endure the back country epic rides Jobst liked to do. Ritchey's foundational design principles emerged from these dueling philosophies. Among the first of <mask>'s designs to be brought to use was his "Logic" steel frame tubing. With the new era of fillet brazing he pioneered, and the new uprising of TIG welded frame production, <mask>ey sought tubes from Italian company Columbus however they didn't meet Ritchey's specifications, so Tange of Japan was the final supplier. Their success lead to the birth of Logic Tubing. This tubing changed the way tubing manufacturers thought about butting profiles, allowing the manufacture of lighter, yet extremely durable larger diameter steel tubing bikes.He later took his same shortened butt concept to spoke manufacturer DT Swiss to produce spokes to build lighter, stronger wheels. Below is a list of a few innovations and firsts <mask> produced:
 1974 - Twin-plated crown forks
 1979 - New "MountainBikes" frame
 1980 - 130mm mountain bike specific rear hub
 1980 - 120mm bottom bracket spindle to account for wider chain stays that accommodate a wider rear tire
 1980 - The Bullmoose integrated mountain bike specific handlebar and stem
 1983 - Standard unicrown tapered fork
 1984 - Logic butted tubing
 1984 - Developed new MTB specific tread design with IRC, Japan. Applied road tire technology to MTB tires, introducing a folding bead and 120tpi. In 1988, applied vector force analysis (VFA) tread designs to develop mountain bike tires featuring front & rear specific and rotation direction tires. 1985 - Vantage rim, the first welded mountain bike specific rim produced by Ukai; a wider, 25mm rim developed to better handle a wider knobby tire
 1989 - Logic Condensed double butted spokes produced by DT Swiss
 1989 - Developed alloy 3D net shape forging, for stems that led the way to a new generation of lighter, stiffer and stronger stems that did away with welding. 1992 - First to succeed in off center rim (OCR) technology which made possible a balanced spoke tension in rear wheels and off center disc specific front and rear wheels. 1995 - 2x9 speed drivetrain for mountain bikes

Project Rwanda
In December 2005, <mask> toured Rwanda by bicycle. He found the landscape to be beautiful, but the people and their journey of reconciliation were even more compelling. <mask> rode through the hilly countryside, (Rwanda is called Land of a Thousand Hills) and witnessed the incredible cycling talent that existed there, without any of the modern cycling technology available to the average cyclist here in the USA. <mask> believed that a national cycling team could bring a sense of hope and national pride. Within the next few months, <mask> began to formalize a 501c3 called, Project Rwanda. <mask> then asked his friend, Jared Miller, if he would go to Rwanda to explore the possibility of putting on a cycling event. On September 16, 2006, <mask> sponsored the first annual Rwandan Wooden Bike Classic in Karongi Stadium: a mountain bike, wooden bike, and single speed colonial bike race.Attendance was over 3,000. <mask> asked North American Tour de France Stage winner, Alex Stieda, and cycling pioneer, Jock Boyer, to race alongside him at the event held to celebrate the wooden bike innovation and what it meant to <mask>. After the event, <mask> asked Boyer to help him in finding and cultivating cycling talent, which would become Team Rwanda. Ritchey designed a geared cargo/coffee bike, capable of carrying heavy loads, to help the Rwandans, especially the coffee farmers in the rural areas of Rwanda, get their crops more efficiently to washing stations. He worked with other NGO's like World Vision and Bikes for Rwanda, to help distribute approximately 4,000 bikes, through micro finance programs and grants. Quotes

<mask> (born October 16, 1944) is an American singer who has sung tens of thousands of commercial jingles. She was the voice of the singing cat in the Meow Mix commercials, sang the jingle "Galaxy Glue" in the 1981 film The Incredible Shrinking Woman, the "Coke and a Smile" jingle in the classic Mean Joe Greene Super Bowl commercial, and has won many Clio Awards for her work on television and radio. Her voice can also be heard on many pop songs, as she was a regular backup singer for artists such as Frankie Valli, Burt Bacharach, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Neil Diamond. In the 1970s, she was one of the main singers in the disco group Wing and a Prayer Fife and Drum Corps, which charted with the Top 40 hit "Baby Face" in 1976. In the 1980s and 1990s she was a regular performer in Atlantic City at The Grand and Harrah's, with her husband, composer and arranger Artie Schroeck. As of 2011, she works as a piano accompanist in Las Vegas, Nevada. Biography

Early years (1940s–1960s)
November was born in Brooklyn, the older of two children to Eleanore and <mask>.Her father was an attorney to clients such as boxer Floyd Patterson, and her younger brother Philip became an attorney as well. She started her career in music as a concert pianist, playing piano from the age of five. However, she lost interest in the piano as a teenager and turned to singing instead, helped by the fact that she learned she had perfect pitch. She attended Thomas Jefferson High School, then The High School of Music & Art, and then from the age of 15 began studying voice with Beverly Johnson at Juilliard. She developed a strong soprano voice, described by The Dallas Morning News as "high, strong, and unwontedly pure". At the age of 16, she got a lucky break because of a visit to a podiatrist. The doctor had an office at Broadway and 42nd Street, in what had been a fashionable Knickerbocker Hotel suite in the early 1900s, the New York residence of opera singer Enrico Caruso (1873–1921).So the doctor would often entertain visitors who were there to see the Caruso memorabilia. While she herself was at the office, November met another patient who had contacts in the music industry, and she sang an impromptu audition. The patient was impressed, and put her in touch with one of his contacts, manager Gus Schirmer (of the Schirmer Music publishing family), who was looking for "pretty sopranos" for his summer musicals. Schirmer introduced her to Broadway composer Richard Rodgers, who became her mentor, and through Schirmer, November also auditioned for other producers such as Lawrence Kasha. She obtained work as a performer in the 1963 summer musical season in Dallas, Texas, but despite many auditions, could never land a job in Broadway theatre (according to November, this was because she never had the exact look that a particular show was looking for). Then Schirmer got her a job singing at an industrial musical for Ford Motor Company, where she met many other successful musicians, singers, and composers such as Ray Charles. He began incorporating her into sessions with the Ray Charles Singers, a group of performers with a rotating membership that would sing in close harmonies, often on productions with singer and television personality Perry Como, or as backup singers for other recordings.This launched November's career as a studio singer, as she worked on a contract basis for many different productions. From 1962 to 1967 November would rotate in and out as part of the Ray Charles Singers, sometimes seen on Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall variety program. She can also be heard as a backup singer on some Frank Sinatra recordings, such as the soprano voice in the background of the 1967 song, "The World We Knew". Jingle singer (1960s–1990s)
Over the course of her 32 years as a jingle singer, November sang approximately 22,000 jingles which were played on the television and radio. In the 1970s, it was estimated that 75% of the jingles that could be heard on the airways were sung by no more than 30 people, and November was known as the "Jingle Queen". In several unusual jingles, she had to sing with different voices. She once sang as a person underwater, and for Chicken of the Sea, a brand of tuna, she sang like a chicken underwater.Her most notable commercial was in an ad campaign for Meow Mix, where she was the voice ("Meow meow meow meow...") of a singing cat. The idea came from Ron Travisano at the advertising agency of Della Femina Travisano and Partners, who had the account with Ralston Purina in 1976. Travisano put together film footage with editor Jay Gold, looping images of a cat to make it look like it was singing. Working from the film, Tom McFaul of the jingle house Lucas/McFaul composed music to fit, and <mask> sang the meowing melody. The campaign was a major success, spawned 81 other different commercials, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in residuals. <mask> was also one of the singers for Coca-Cola's "Have a Coke and a Smile" campaign, heard most famously on the 1979 Mean Joe Greene commercial, considered one of the top Super Bowl commercials of all time. Other projects (1970s–present)

In the 1970s, along with providing her voice for commercials, November also recorded pop songs on the radio.She, Tony Orlando, and Toni Wine sang "Candida", in a group surreptitiously entitled "Dawn". Tony Orlando was a recording industry executive at the time, for a competing label, April-Blackwood. So to avoid a conflict, the group was entitled "Dawn" without Orlando's name. However, the song became a major hit, along with its followup "Knock Three Times" (also featuring backup by November and Toni Wine). To go on tour, Orlando then asked two other session singers, Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson, to become the official backup singers, in their own "Dawn" group, so they could tour as  Tony Orlando and Dawn, though the voices on the songs of the original album were still of November and Toni Wine, not Hopkins and Vincent. A few years later, November was again on the charts as part of the group Wing and a Prayer Fife and Drum Corps, an assemblage of studio musicians put together by Harold Wheeler. They released two albums, with their biggest hit being a disco version of the 1926 song "Baby Face".It reached #14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in late 1976, and #12 in the UK. In the 1980s and 1990s, November could often be found singing in Atlantic City, such as at Gatsby's at The Grand, and then starting in 1990, at the Harrah's Atrium Lounge, with Artie Schroeck. They had met in the 1960s while working on Frankie Valli recordings, but had both been married to other people at the time. In 1988 they became a couple, and on January 17, 1997, they married. <mask> then retired from her career as a jingle singer, and she and Schroeck directed a production saluting quirky band leader Spike Jones, "The New City Slickers Present a Tribute to Spike Jones". In 2001, <mask> and her husband moved to Las Vegas.As of 2011, she continues to work there as a piano and keyboard accompanist, performing the occasional show with Schroeck. Awards

Notable works
<mask> has sung tens of thousands of jingles, with her most notable one being the Meow Mix Theme ("Meow meow meow meow . . . . ") in 1976 for  Meow Mix cat food. She has also worked in many other parts of the industry as a backup singer, and contributed many solo efforts, such as singing the lullaby in the 1971 animated film, The World of Hans Christian Andersen, the main theme "I'm Comin' Home" in the 1973 film The Devil in Miss Jones, and the "Galaxy Glue" jingle in the 1981 film The Incredible Shrinking Woman.

<mask> (; born 22 January 1973) is a Brazilian football manager and former player who is the current manager of São Paulo FC. He is considered one of the all-time greatest Brazilian goalkeepers and is recognised by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics as the goalkeeper to have scored the most goals in the history of football. Most of <mask>'s vast professional career, which had spanned 25 years and 1257 professional club matches, was associated with São Paulo, with which he won 20 major titles, including three Brazilian Leagues, two Copa Libertadores and the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. He also scored 131 goals during his career, with most of them coming from free kicks and penalties and one coming from open play. <mask> also represented Brazil 18 times over the course of his career, being part of the squads that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup, and also taking part at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Early life

<mask> was born 22 January 1973 in Pato Branco, Paraná. Ceni is of Italian and German descent.He holds Italian citizenship. Club career

<mask> made his senior debuts with Sinop. In 1990, the 17-year-old joined São Paulo, spending his first six seasons in Brazilian Série A as a backup or third-choice. On 25 June 1993 <mask> made his first team debut, starting in a 4–1 win against Tenerife for the Trofeo Ciudad de Santiago de Compostela friendly championship. In the following year he was utilized as a starter in the 1994 Copa CONMEBOL, appearing in all matches as his side was crowned champions. In the 1997 season, after Zetti moved to Santos, <mask> was chosen as his replacement. On 14 July 2005, <mask> was São Paulo's captain as the team won the 2005 Copa Libertadores, a third for the club.Two weeks later, in a match against Atlético Mineiro, he broke the record for most appearances for the team, with 618 matches – he wore a special commemorative jersey that had the number "618" printed on the back; on 25 July of the following year, he scored a penalty against Mexican side Guadalajara (also a match-winner), becoming the Tricolors all-time leading scorer in the Libertadores. From 2005 to 2007, he scored an astonishing 47 goals in all competitions combined, as the club won two national championships and the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup; in the latter competition, he netted in the semifinals against Ittihad (3–2, through a penalty kick), and was voted Man of the match in the final against Liverpool, as well as the tournament's MVP. On 20 August 2006, <mask> scored his 63rd and record-breaking goal by netting a free kick against Cruzeiro in the domestic league, a few minutes after denying a penalty to the opposition. Later in the same match, he scored a goal from the spot and took his total to 64, also tying the match 2–2; this put him two goals ahead of the previous holder, Paraguayan José Luis Chilavert. On 29 October 2006, <mask> made his 700th official appearance for São Paulo, against Figueirense in a 2–0 victory. Some of the gloss was taken off the occasion when the player was ordered to change his bright yellow jersey because it matched with the referee's; at the end of the 2007 season, which ended in league conquest, he was voted by the Brazilian Football Confederation as the Best Player. In April 2009, <mask> fractured his ankle in training, being initially sidelined for six months, but recovering sooner than expected.On 28 October 2010, against Atlético Paranaense, he played his 700th game as club captain. The following year, on 27 March, he scored from a free kick to win the match against arch rivals Corinthians, shooting from 18 metres for his 100th goal. On 7 September 2011, <mask> made his 1000th appearance for São Paulo. In late January of the following year, the 39-year-old underwent an operation on his shoulder, losing six months of competition. On 1 August 2012, <mask> returned to the field, scoring from a direct free kick in a 2–0 Copa Sudamericana away win against Bahia; his side went on to win that year's tournament. He subsequently scored three goals in the league, ending the campaign as a starter. Despite already aged 40, Ceni stated that his spirit for competition was the same as an eighteen-year-old's, but still stating that his recovery is harder than years ago.On 14 July 2013, <mask> scored his 111th goal from a free kick in a 2–3 loss at Vitória. On 7 December 2013, after lengthy negotiations, <mask> renewed his contract with Tricolor for a further season. On 20 April 2014, in a 3–0 home win against Botafogo, he had three records recognized by Guinness World Records: most goals scored by a goalkeeper, number of games played for the same club and number of times as captain. On 27 October 2014, <mask> broke Ryan Giggs' record for most wins at a single club after playing in São Paulo's 3–0 win over Goiás. He finished the campaign with eight league goals (his best goal scoring record within seven years), being an undisputed starter. On 28 November 2014, <mask> signed a new deal with São Paulo, until August 2015, despite previously stating that he would retire at the end of the season. On 29 March 2015, after scoring in a 3–0 home win against Linense, he surpassed Marcelinho Carioca in the number of goals scored by direct free kicks for only one club, with <mask> having 60 and Marcelinho, 59.In June 2015, <mask> scored his 128th goal, entering in the club's top 10 goalscorers list. <mask> announced his retirement from professional football on 6 December 2015.

International career
A Brazilian international for nine years, <mask> collected 16 caps. He was selected to the squads that won the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2002 FIFA World Cup (and the 2006 World Cup, still not fully recovered from knee surgery), but only appeared in two games in final stages, the 3–2 win against Mexico in the first tournament and the 4–1 triumph over Japan in the third. Managerial career
In December 2016, <mask> was appointed as São Paulo coach, with Englishman Michael Beale and Frenchman Charles Hembert joining as his assistants. On 3 July 2017, after poor results - São Paulo were eliminated in State League, Brazilian Cup and 2017 Copa Sudamericana into a period of one month and are in relegation zone in Brazilian League, he was sacked. <mask> signed with Fortaleza to coach the team in 2018. On 3 November of that year, Fortaleza clinched promotion to the Série A, and seven days later, the club clinched the Série B title for the first time in its history.In 2019, Fortaleza also won the Campeonato Cearense and the Copa do Nordeste. On 11 August 2019, <mask> was named Cruzeiro manager, but was dismissed on 26 September, after having altercations with the club's main players, specifically Thiago Neves and Dedé. Three days later, <mask> was announced at his former side Fortaleza, replacing fired Zé Ricardo. On 22 October 2020, he again won the Ceará state title, his fourth title with Fortaleza. On 10 November 2020, <mask> agreed to a contract with Flamengo until December 2021, replacing the sacked Domènec Torrent. He won the 2020 Série A with the club, but was sacked on 10 July 2021. <mask> returned to São Paulo on 13 October 2021, being named manager in the place of Hernán Crespo.Style of play

<mask> (Hebrew: ליאור כהן; born October 3, 1959) is an American music industry executive. <mask> has been actively involved in hip hop at various record labels for more than 30 years. He started by managing rappers for Rush Productions, then led Def Jam. After Def Jam, <mask> took on a leadership role at Warner Music Group. In September 2012, <mask> resigned from Warner and started his own independent label, 300 Entertainment. On September 28, 2016, <mask> was named YouTube's Global Head of Music. Early life
Born in New York to Israeli immigrants in 1959, <mask> grew up in Los Angeles.In 1981, he earned a degree in global marketing and finance from the University of Miami School of Business at the University of Miami. After graduating from the University of Miami, he worked briefly in the Beverly Hills office of Bank Leumi. Music career

Rush Productions / Rush Artist Management
Late in 1984, after promoting a pair of rock and rap shows at The Mix Club in Hollywood (one featured Run-DMC, the other featured Whodini), <mask> moved to New York to take a job at Simmons' Rush Productions (later called Rush Artist Management). Beginning as Run-DMC's road manager, <mask> quickly began taking on additional responsibilities, working on behalf of an artist roster that included Kurtis Blow, Whodini, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy. By 1987, <mask> himself was signing artists to Rush. These acts included Slick Rick, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, Stetsasonic, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest.<mask> credits Jam Master Jay with teaching him the basics of the music business. "[Jay] showed me how to settle shows and fulfill my responsibilities to the group," <mask> told Vibe magazine. "It's those lessons that I rely on daily to do what I do now." Before long, according to Rolling Stone, <mask> "became known for his no-nonsense approach to business, his negotiating skill, his ability to forward the plot". It was <mask> who brokered Run-DMC's endorsement deal with Adidas, "one of the first big commercial deals for a rap group". This deal was followed by others that paired up Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince with Le Coq Sportif, LL Cool J with Troop sportswear, and Run-DMC with New Coke. By 1989, Rush—under <mask>'s leadership—was recognized as "the premier management operation" in the Rap field.Steve Stoute, in The Tanning of America, credits <mask> with "[believing] early on in the cultural melting pot that was being brewed for and by the younger generation". In his own words, <mask> <mask> has said, "I was determined to prove people wrong, to prove to the gatekeepers of the industry that we had a place here and we weren't going to relinquish our opportunity." From artist development to label executive
<mask> began transitioning from artist management to the label side of the music business in 1989, when he and Simmons formed Rush Associated Labels. The goal was to capitalize on the ability of established recording artists to sniff out new talent by signing boutique label deals with them. It paid off most notably with Jam Master Jay's JMJ Records, which brought Onyx to Def Jam in 1992 and Jayo Felony in 1994. By then <mask> was starting to groom a new generation of executives, notably Chris Lighty, Julie Greenwald, Kevin Liles, Todd Moscowitz, and Mike Kyser. In 1994 <mask> teamed up with Simmons to negotiate Def Jam's departure from Sony (which had been distributing Def Jam since 1985) for a new home at PolyGram.By then, having become Simmons's partner in the label several years earlier, <mask> was running Def Jam day-to-day. (Rick Rubin, Def Jam's founder, had left Def Jam in 1988.) Def Jam under PolyGram and Universal
Under PolyGram and <mask>'s leadership, Def Jam prospered. <mask> worked with a brand-new roster of successful rappers, like Redman, Method Man, Jay-Z, DMX, Ja Rule and Ludacris. Concurrently, <mask> oversaw custom label deals with Roc-A-Fella Records, Murder Inc., and Disturbing Tha Peace. In 1998, PolyGram was purchased by Seagram, and merged into Universal. The Island Def Jam
In June 1998, after the PolyGram / Universal merger, Island, Mercury, and Def Jam were merged into a new unit called The Island Def Jam, <mask> was named co-president.In the process, he became (as he himself noted) "the first Hip-Hop president in charge of a major label". This promotion required <mask> to expand his portfolio to include artists who didn't rap, among them Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Elvis Costello, Ashanti, Nickelback, Slipknot, Sum 41, The Killers, and Slayer. In 2001, <mask> was involved in Island Def Jam's purchase of Roadrunner, a heavy-metal label, as well as the deal to distribute Rick Rubin's American. In 2002, American released Johnny Cash's American IV: The Man Comes Around. The last album released by Cash before his death, it included Cash's hit version of Trent Reznor's "Hurt". Warner
In January 2004 <mask> left Island Def Jam for a position with the Edgar Bronfman Jr. investor group-financed Warner, which was subsequently spun off from Time Warner. Ultimately, <mask> was named WMG's chairman and chief executive.By 2006, the positive effects of <mask>'s leadership were encapsulated in a story for the Los Angeles Times, which noted: "Under <mask>, Warner Music has thrived, due in part to the executive's innovative initiatives, such as an incubator program that builds relationships with independent label executives the company aspires to hire." Warner's success with Mike Jones and the rock band Paramore both grew out of the incubator program. At Warner, <mask> oversaw the merger of the Atlantic and Elektra labels into Atlantic, and placed Julie Greenwald, his protégée, into a top executive position there. In 2009, <mask> elevated Greenwald to chairman and chief operating officer of Atlantic, a promotion that established Greenwald as the highest-ranking woman executive at an American record company. Greenwald's successes at Atlantic have included The Black Keys, Bruno Mars, Death Cab for Cutie, Jason Mraz, Kid Rock, Lupe Fiasco, Plies, T.I., and Wiz Khalifa. YouTube and Spotify
In September 2006, <mask> oversaw an agreement with YouTube that allowed the site to show videos by Warner artists in exchange for a share of YouTube's advertising revenue. According to The New York Times, the deal marked "the first time a major record company [had] licensed content to YouTube".In 2011, <mask> oversaw an agreement on behalf of the Warner roster with Spotify, the digital music service. Eventually, <mask> oversaw all of Warner's digital initiatives. Departure from Warner
In September 2012 <mask> resigned from Warner where he served as one of their dominant creative executives. Future ventures and 300
There was much speculation about <mask>'s next move. <mask>'s own assessment of his career was broadly predictive. "I've been an outsider in the traditional record industry for more than 25 years," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm an entrepreneur, so I encourage risk-taking.And the only way to encourage risk-taking is to take risks yourself, which means sometimes you'll fail, or people will say you are too aggressive or controversial. But someone needs to jump into the pool first for a party to get really great. I've always been willing to be that guy." In November 2013, <mask> revealed he was starting a new company named "300", after the 300 Spartan Warriors who fought the famous war against the Persians seen in the movie 300. He stated the company would be part record label, part marketing company, part distributor, with major backing from Google and Atlantic. Joining YouTube
In September 2016, Google's YouTube announced <mask> would be joining the organization as Global Head of Music. He officially joined the company in December 2016.He wrote a public letter stating some of his goals and aspirations for his new role. He will strive to enable the music industry to adopt new business models that take advantage of technological advances. Philanthropy and leadership
<mask> is currently on the board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and is an acting Director for the New York-based charitable organization Boys & Girls Harbor. Personal life
Some of <mask>'s closest associates have included his longtime friend and business partner Russell Simmons, Jay Z, music executive Julie Greenwald, Jon Bon Jovi, and Kanye West, who dubbed himself "the Lyor <mask> of Dior Homme" on a 2010 recording Devil in a New Dress. <mask> met his first wife, E.K. Smith, during the recording of the music video for "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" by the Beastie Boys.Their wedding on April 1, 1988, was held in Sosua, Dominican Republic and is written about in Flava Flav's book. <mask>'s marriage to his second wife, Amy, ended in divorce in 2006. They have a daughter, Bea, and a son, Az. <mask> credits Az, along with a personal friend, with saving his life when <mask> experienced a pulmonary embolism during N.W.A's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Brooklyn's Barclays Center in April 2016. In August 2016, <mask> remarried, wedding art world personality Xin Li, a Chinese former basketball player and model who is currently the deputy chairman of Christie's Asia. References

<mask> (born February 18, 1949) is a Canadian former politician who represented Ontario in the Senate of Canada from January 25, 2013 to January 25, 2021. Initially appointed to the Senate as a Conservative on the advice of Stephen Harper, she sat as a non-affiliated (independent) senator after being removed from the Conservative caucus in 2017. <mask> was suspended from the Senate twice; a first time for posting letters to her website that were considered to be offensive to First Nations peoples, and a second time for failing to comply with mandated anti-racism training. <mask> announced her retirement from the Senate, effective immediately, on January 25, 2021. Career
A business owner in Dryden, Ontario, <mask> worked in tourism, insurance and real estate. She co-owned a General Motors dealership and Ford dealership with her late husband. <mask> was previously a candidate for the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party in the Ontario provincial elections of 1995 and 1999, and has served on the Fort Frances-Rainy River board of education.She was appointed to the Senate of Canada in 2013 by Stephen Harper. She sat as a Conservative until being expelled by the Conservative caucus in 2017. In 2020, she donated $1,000 to the People's Party of Canada, the maximum allowable donation. Residential schools controversy
<mask> is critical of the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that the Canadian Indian residential school system was plagued with systemic physical, mental, and sexual abuse and directly resulted in the death of at least six thousand children from malnutrition and disease. <mask> said that those findings overshadowed the "good deeds" of "well-intentioned" residential school workers. <mask>'s statement was repudiated by New Democratic Party Indigenous Affairs critic and residential school survivor Romeo Saganash, who called on her to resign for praising a system that amounted to cultural genocide, as defined by the United Nations; Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs and Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett, who called for better education on the subject matter; and Conservative Indigenous Affairs critic Cathy McLeod, who said that <mask>'s praise did not reflect the views of the party, which under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, had made a formal apology for the residential schools. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde also criticized the statement for defending a system that had deep negative effects on Aboriginal peoples in Canada.<mask> would later attack criticism of her speech as fake news. However, <mask>'s thoughts were deemed out of line with the Conservative party's history on the subject matter by the party's interim leader Rona Ambrose, who stated it was untenable for her to keep her position on the Aboriginal people's committee due to the misalignment of <mask>'s comments. On April 5, 2017, <mask> was removed from her Aboriginal people's committee Senate post. After the Canadian government reorganized the Indian Affairs department August 28, 2017, forming two departments, for Indigenous and Northern Affairs and separately for Indigenous Services, each under its own minister, Sen. <mask> made another public statement: "Let's stop the guilt and blame and find a way to live together and share. Trade your status card for a Canadian citizenship, with a fair and negotiated payout to each Indigenous man, woman and child in Canada, to settle all the outstanding land claims and treaties, and move forward together ... All Canadians are then free to preserve their cultures in their own communities, on their own time, with their own dime. The emphasis should be on individual prosperity and responsibility, with more money in the pockets of the local people, and not just national leaders and bureaucracies." According to Saskatoon StarPhoenix columnist Doug Cuthand, her comments indicated ignorance of history, as the Indigenous peoples of Canada were extended Canadian citizenship in 1951.The mayors of Edmonton, Alberta and Winnipeg, Manitoba have called on her to resign. According to Brian Giesbrecht of the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, "Sen. Beyak has an abiding belief that the system we have in this country is not working, despite what the flabbergasted mayor and interviewer think of her." "When the senator says that status Indians are not true Canadian citizens, she is absolutely correct." "The fact is that status Indians living on reserves are legally very different from mainstream Canadians in many important ways." Following the backlash regarding her controversial speech, <mask> published, on her senate web page, samples of a large number of letters she received from Canadian citizens supporting her belief that what is being done for Canada's Indigenous People is not effective. Towards the end of December 2017, <mask> faced considerable social media backlash regarding these letters. On January 4, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh demanded <mask>'s resignation.In a statement to the media, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, explained that while most letters focused on the history of residential schools, some letters had comments regarding Indigenous Canadians in general. He pointed out a particularly troubling passage from one of the letters, that stated "I'm no anthropologist but it seems every opportunistic culture, subsistence hunter/gatherers seeks to get what they can for no effort. There is always a clash between an industrial/organized farming culture that values effort as opposed to a culture that will sit and wail until the government gives them stuff", calling the comment "simply racist" and her promotion of such comments "offensive and unacceptable". In a media statement, Scheer said that he removed <mask> from the Conservative caucus after she refused his demand that she remove some of the comments. Scheer's spokesperson said this demand was made in a telephone call, but <mask> denied that Scheer, anyone from his office, or the Senate leadership had asked her to take down a letter. A senior Conservative source confirmed <mask>'s account. Following a Senate inquiry, it was determined that <mask> had breached the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators by posting letters on her Senate website that contained racist content.She was ordered to remove the racist letters from her Senate website, to make a formal apology for posting the letters in question, and to complete a cultural sensitivity course with an emphasis on Indigenous issues. She subsequently refused to remove the letters, and was suspended from the Senate in April, 2019 for the remainder of the parliamentary session. Second suspension
In January 2020, the Standing Committee on Ethics and Conflict of Interest for Senators again recommended that <mask> be suspended without pay for the remainder of the parliamentary session, citing her failure to adequately complete anti-racism training. During her anti-racism training sessions, <mask> was alleged to have said that she identified as Métis because her parents adopted an Indigenous child, a statement which prompted the Métis National Council to demand an apology and suggest <mask> resign. Subsequently <mask> issued a Press Release stating "Media are reporting I am Metis, and although the Metis are a great nation I am not, have never been and never will be Metis, and have never said I was, at anytime, anywhere to anyone." On February 27, 2020, the Senate imposed a second suspension on <mask> because of her failure to complete the required training. The senators approved a report from the standing committee on ethics and conflicts of interest which recommended that <mask> be suspended without pay for "the rest of the current term".In addition to her suspension, she was ordered to undertake anti-racism training. Canada's standing senate Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration (CIBA) met February 27, 2020 to formally remove <mask> from the senate payroll. Her suspension ended on August 18, 2020 when the session was prorogued. Illicit donation to Republican National Committee

According to filings from the United States Federal Election Commission, <mask> donated 300 in May 2020 to the Republican National Committee in support of Donald Trump's re-election campaign. <mask> listed her residence as Dryden, New York and her occupation as retired, despite still being a sitting member of the Senate and living in Dryden, Ontario. The Federal Election Campaign Act does not allow foreign nationals without American citizenship or permanent resident status to contribute to political candidates or campaigns. <mask>'s office claimed that the donation was made in error, and that the money was being refunded.However, , the Republican National Committee did not report the return of the donation. Personal life
She married <mask> on November 28, 1970 and they remained married until his death on April 8, 2002. They have two sons. References

<mask> (4 May 1790 – 23 March 1847) was a Scottish architect, who along with his rival John Smith, is regarded as having fashioned the character of Aberdeen as "The Granite City". Life and work

Early life
<mask> was born at 15 Guestrow, Aberdeen on 4 May 1790, the ninth and last child of <mask> (1740–1804), a clothier at Broadgate, and his wife Barbara Dauney (c.1750 - 1801), the daughter of a Presbyterian minister. The family house at Guestrow is thought to have been built by his uncle William Dauney, who was a master mason. The house was later demolished in 1930. <mask> attended Aberdeen Grammar School as a contemporary of Byron, who lived nearby in Broadgate. At 13 he entered Marischal College but left after a year, on the death of his father, to work in the office of James Massie, a builder at Castlehill, having been influenced so by his uncle William Dauney. Due to being born lame in his left arm, his father left him a legacy of £200 with which at the age of 20 he went to London to be apprenticed to architect Robert Lugar and later David Laing.After two years <mask> left to embark on a study tour of Italy, returning to Aberdeen in 1813 to start an architectural practice in his old house at 15 Guestrow. Architectural practice

<mask> first established his practice in 1813 at his old childhood home at 15 Guestrow. He later moved to premises at 130 Union Street, where in 1826 he lost his entire archive of drawings in a fire which destroyed the building, forcing him to move his office to 8 Belmont Street and later to 22 Crown Street - where the former Post Office building now stands - before later moving to live at 15 Bon Accord Street and practicing from his office at 1 Bon Accord Street. <mask> began his work at a time when wealthy country landowners were very influential in the social and cultural development of the City of Aberdeen, church and institutional expansion was rife and the enterprising Incorporated Trades were looking to invest heavily and speculatively in the new civic development - made possible by the bold construction of Union Street westwards across the Denburn towards the rich hinterland in 1801. <mask>, along with his brother Alexander, was responsible for reviving the Aberdeen Musical Society, founded in 1747, in a move to make influential social contacts which were vital to the success of his architectural practice. <mask> played the violin and his brother Alexander played the flute. He later also founded the Aberdeen Artists Society with his friend and collaborator, the artist James Giles, who also undertook several portraits of <mask> for the University Court.James Matthews was articled to <mask> in 1834. Architectural style

The boldest and most refined architecture of <mask> is in the Grecian style, in its classic purity of detail and proportion, although he was equally at ease in adopting Gothic, Italian Renaissance, Tudor and Hanseatic architectural styles to meet the preference of his clients or the nature of the site. Clients frequently placed him in open competition with John Smith, though they greatly respected one another's work and ambition to achieve civic unity in the new streets that were then under construction. The result was a fine granite street architecture that was to influence the quality of development for a further century. Death and legacy

<mask> died, aged 56, at his house at 1 East Craibstone Street, Aberdeen on 23 March 1847, having returned ill from a business trip to Derby. He is buried in the graveyard of the Kirk of St Nicholas on Union Street. The grave lies to the south of the church.The Aberdeen Civic Society erected a granite memorial to him in the gardens of Bon Accord Square, as part of the European Architectural Heritage Year in 1975. The city has a Wetherspoon pub to honour his memory. Works
