Other sponsored Innovators include Jack Andraka.<mask>'s first book, Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn't Be Done, discusses his work on the Eyewriter and Project Daniel and was released by Simon & Schuster on January 6, 2015. The Book is now in its fifth printing. The Eyewriter

In April 2009, Ebeling flew five programmers and hackers from Graffiti Research Lab, Free Art and Technology Lab, and openFrameworks to Los Angeles and in the living room of his home created the EyeWriter, an open source, DIY device which enables individuals with paralysis to communicate and create art using only the movement of their eyes. The EyeWriter project was conceptualized and first created for Tempt One, a Los Angeles-based graffiti artist who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2003. Tempt1 wrote his first piece of graffiti after seven years using the EyeWriter on April 10, 2009. Ebeling's March 2011 TED talk: The invention that unlocked the locked-in artist discusses the creation of The EyeWriter and Ebeling's mission to raise public awareness and inspire ideas that encourage change. With no technical background in ocular recognition technology, Ebeling asks the question: “If not now, then when?If not me, then who?”  TIME magazine called it one of the “50 Best Inventions of 2010,” and the device is now part of the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Project Daniel

In November 2013, Ebeling traveled to Sudan to 3D-print arms for children who lost their limbs in the war. Ebeling set up what is likely the first-ever 3D printing prosthetic lab in the Nuba Mountains. The mission was called "Project Daniel." Ebeling debuted "Project Daniel" at CES 2014 in Las Vegas alongside Intel. Of the project, TIME's tech journalist Harry McCracken wrote, "it’s hard to imagine any other device here doing more to make the world a better place.” Project Daniel has won numerous accolades, including a 2015 SXSW Interactive Innovation Award, as well as being nominated for “Design of the Year” from London’s Design Museum. In 2014, it garnered the Titanium Cannes Lion as well as Gold and Bronze Lions.Project Daniel also won Association of Independent Commercial Producers’ Next Cause Marketing Award, Best in Show in the 2014 One Show, Silver and Bronze Telly Awards, and the 2014 Maker Faire Editor's Choice Blue Ribbon.

<mask> (September 5, 1931 – June 26, 1956) was an American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger. He was not assisted in his musical development by Bud, his older and better known brother, but both played predominantly in the bebop style. After early work around Philadelphia and New York City, <mask> played in the bands of Paul Williams (1951–52) and Johnny Hodges (1952–54). He switched in the spring of 1954 to being pianist and arranger for the quintet co-led by trumpeter Clifford Brown and drummer Max Roach. This band toured extensively across the U.S. for two years, and released both studio and concert recordings, including the Grammy Hall of Fame inductee Clifford Brown & Max Roach. <mask>, his wife, and Brown were killed in a car crash when traveling overnight from Philadelphia to Chicago. <mask> was beginning to achieve recognition at the time of his death, but he never had the chance to record as a leader.He had a playful piano style, and was fond of using musical quotations. His relatively heavy touch and use of left-hand fourths influenced fellow pianist McCoy Tyner. Early life
<mask> was born in New York City on September 5, 1931. He was the youngest of three sons, after William, Jr., and Bud, seven years <mask>'s elder. Their parents were William, Sr. and <mask>. The family was musical: William, Sr. was a stride pianist; William, Jr. led bands as a trumpeter and violinist; and pianist Bud became one of the leaders of bebop. One account of why <mask> took up the piano is that he pestered drummer Max Roach, who lived nearby, for drum lessons, and Roach, eventually fed up, suggested that he play the piano instead.Bud did not assist his brother at all in his musical endeavors; instead, according to a biographer of saxophonist Jackie McLean, "it was an excellent but now forgotten pianist named Bob Bunyan who taught <mask> chords on the piano. <mask> would study with Bunyan, and then go home and watch his brother practice. [...] <mask> and Jackie became tight friends and used to rehearse together". <mask> also studied music with Mary Lou Williams,
and attended the City College of New York. Later life and career
From 1949 to 1951, <mask> worked around Philadelphia and New York City. He then played in the bands of Paul Williams (1951–52) and Johnny Hodges (1952–54). With Williams' R&B-oriented band he recorded four tracks late in 1952 that were released as singles.<mask> also played on a medley track for the Hodges album Used to Be Duke (1954). <mask> was with Hodges' band in Los Angeles in the spring of 1954 when Roach needed a new pianist for the quintet that he co-led with trumpeter Clifford Brown. <mask> was offered, and accepted, the job. He also became arranger for the quintet. They performed and rehearsed a lot, then had several recording sessions that August for EmArcy Records, which resulted in their first album, Brown and Roach Incorporated. In the same month, <mask> was involved as pianist for some tracks at a session arranged for singer Dinah Washington that featured a studio audience. In September the quintet played for a fortnight at the Black Hawk in San Francisco, then began a tour of the eastern United States the following month.The band's saxophonist, Harold Land, reported that, when touring, "<mask> was a little busy with the ladies. He had harems in almost every city". Further recording sessions for <mask> with Brown and Roach took place in New York during January and February 1955. The tracks cut in January, with arrangements by Neal Hefti, were released as Clifford Brown with Strings. The February sessions yielded the albums Study in Brown, and, combined with tracks from the previous year, Clifford Brown & Max Roach. The latter was added to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. At the Newport Jazz Festival in July 1955 <mask> played with Roach and others as backing for Washington.Recordings made of the Brown–Roach quintet at the same event were released decades later. The quintet with Sonny Rollins, who replaced Land on tenor saxophone, recorded what became their last official album early in 1956. Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street contained playing at even faster tempos than on their earlier album releases. Several of the tunes were composed by <mask>; on one, "Time", <mask> played celeste in addition to his usual piano. Another was "Gertrude's Bounce", which <mask> said was named following his admiration for the way in which artist Gertrude Abercrombie walked. The third of his originals, "Powell's Prances", was "a modal composition, with Brown and Rollins improvising on the scale rather than on the usual chord changes", a form popularized three years later by Miles Davis. The band continued touring in 1956, including to Toronto.In late February or early March, <mask> and Rollins, traveling together near Philadelphia, were involved in a crash that destroyed <mask>'s car, but they were not seriously injured. The quintet recorded under the leadership of Rollins in March for Prestige; this was released as Sonny Rollins Plus 4. They also had live national CBS Radio broadcasts from the Basin Street club in April and May. Two years of exposure with the Brown–Roach ensemble meant that <mask> was beginning to achieve some recognition in his own right. On June 26, 1956, <mask> and his wife, Nancy, together with Brown, were traveling overnight by car from Philadelphia to Chicago. On the Pennsylvania Turnpike outside Bedford, in heavy rain, Nancy lost control of the vehicle, which crashed off the road and rolled down an embankment. All three were killed instantly.Nancy was 19; Brown, 25; and <mask>, 24. Playing style
Although he also played swing and R&B, <mask> was known as a bebop player. This included using right-hand single-note lines. In his playing with Brown and Roach, he was fond of inserting musical quotes, including from nursery rhymes and opera. <mask> usually played as part of a rhythm section in ensembles, so there are few recorded examples of him in smaller bands. In one 1954 session he recorded a trio version of "I'll String Along with You", on which he used "heavily chorded patterns with intriguing flourishes." Another exception to <mask> being in a supporting role is his extended introductory section to a 1954 Hodges recording of "Autumn in New York".On this track, in the words of critic Marc Myers six decades later, <mask>'s playing was "regal, bouncy and appropriately lush, with shades of Erroll Garner, Al Haig and <mask>'s brother, Bud. [...] In 'Autumn in New York', we clearly hear a dramatic, playful pianist who was fast becoming an extraordinary talent." Influence
Pianist McCoy Tyner, who grew up close to the <mask> brothers in Philadelphia, was influenced by their relatively heavy keyboard touch and their liking of percussive piano sounds. Tyner also got some of his inspiration for chord voicings from hearing <mask>'s use of left-hand fourths. Tyner's voicings became the norm for young jazz pianists. When Harold Mabern was at the beginning of his career, he emulated the harmonies in <mask>'s comping. Discography
<mask> did not make any recordings as a leader.Bootlegs and other unofficial recordings are not included. Albums as sideman

Early life and education
<mask> was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on July 27, 1942, the oldest of the four children of <mask><mask> (born February 27, 1918 in Chattanooga, Tennessee; died April 1977 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania), a woodworker at the Cavalier Furniture Company, and his wife, <mask> (born August 30, 1916 in Alabama; died March 31, 1973 in Hialeah, Florida), a knitter in a hosiery mill. <mask> is the older brother of Charles Freeman Fairbanks; Carolyn Faye Fairbanks-Alford Lawson; and Dr. Larry Russell Fairbanks, who served as a pastor with the Church of the Nazarene for 28 years, and was District Superintendent of the Northwestern Ohio District, Church of the Nazarene (1998–2008). Hialeah, FL (1956–1960)
From 1956 to 1960, Fairbanks attended Hialeah High School. To help supplement the family income and pay for his education, Fairbanks worked afternoons after school at the local A&P grocery store.As a teenager, <mask> and his mother and siblings attended the Church of the Nazarene at 310 East 5th Street in Hialeah. In the summer of 1959, <mask> attended a summer church camp meeting. During a Saturday morning service, he responded to an invitation from the pastor and prayed, surrounded by friends. For <mask>, "this was a defining and clarifying moment that had obvious implications for the rest of his life." In a 2007 interview <mask> commented:
"I remember going back to my high school and telling my best friend at the time that something significant had just happened to me and I would not be doing the things and going to the places we used to. I really wanted to be a Christian. <mask> also now had the desire to attend college.A few months after his conversion in 1959, during his senior year of high school, <mask> was diagnosed with leukemia, and advised that he would not live. In December 2010 <mask> recalled:
Within months following a life transforming, grace initiated conversion to Christ, I was diagnosed with leukemia. My parents were told that I would not leave the hospital alive. My worst night in the hospital was when I received a long distance telephone call in my hospital room from a friend who wanted to talk to me before I 'died.' A healing and prayer was held in my room with family and friends from the local Nazarene Church. Within weeks, I left the hospital. After four years of regular medical appointments, <mask> was advised there was no longer any traces of the disease.<mask> preached his first sermon in the Church of the Nazarene in Hialeah as one of the congregation's "preacher boys". Trevecca Nazarene College (1960–1964)
In the fall of 1960, <mask> enrolled at Trevecca Nazarene College (TNC) in Nashville, Tennessee, the first person in his extended family of thirteen brothers and sisters of his mother and four siblings of his father to enroll in a college or university. In his first week at TNC, <mask> met his future wife, classmate <mask> James (born September 16, 1942 in Gainesville, Georgia). Soon after enrolling at TNC, <mask> "responded to what I perceived as a call of God to pastoral ministry." In 2009 <mask> recalled:
I remember repeating often to myself as a young theological student these words, "if I am going to be a pastor, then I want to be the best trained pastor I can be." ... It was during these years that a fascination with Wesleyan theology developed as I absorbed the teaching of Drs.William Greathouse, John Allan Knight (sic) and Bill Strickland. During his sophomore year at TNC, <mask> had a significant spiritual experience. In 2004, he recalled:
Something very significant happened to me spiritually in my sophomore year. I remember the date - January 17, 1962. Revival services were being held on campus. In some way, God gripped my heart through the singing and preaching. I remember going to my room following the service.I made a little altar out of a milk carton box. That night I was sanctified through and through. I came to the point of saying to God, "If I am going to be a Christian, I want to be the best Christian I can. I don't want to play games. I don't want to go halfway. Here's my life. Translate my testimony of faith to integrity in life.I want my words spoken and deeds done to flow from what I believe and affirm." From the depth of my heart, that night, and by the grace of God, I spoke a "forever yes!" to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. <mask> and Anne James were married on June 22, 1962. <mask> graduated from TNC with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1964.

<mask> (born March 29, 1951) is a Canadian computer scientist, mathematician, billionaire businessman, philanthropist, and venture capitalist. He is a computer science professor at Stanford University, where he founded and leads the Distributed Systems Group. He is a distributed computing and computer networking expert, with insight into identifying big market opportunities and building the architectures needed to address such opportunities. He has founded and invested in technology companies, including Google, where he was among the first angel investors; VMware, where he was an early investor; and Arista, where he was cofounder and chief scientist. He has funded at least 20 companies. <mask> was ranked by Forbes with an estimated net worth of US$8.8 billion, as of April 2021. He has made contributions to education, with a $25 million donation to support graduate studies and research in the School of Computer Science (subsequently renamed David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science) at the University of Waterloo, a $7.5 million donation to the University of British Columbia, and a $12 million endowment in 2016 to Stanford University to support Computer Science faculty, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate scholarships.Education

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Cheriton attended public schools in the Highlands neighborhood of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He briefly attended the University of Alberta where he had applied for both mathematics and music. He was rejected by the music program, and then went on to study mathematics and received his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree from the University of British Columbia in 1973. Cheriton received his Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in computer science from the University of Waterloo in 1974 and 1978, respectively. He spent three years as an assistant professor at his Alma mater, the University of British Columbia, before moving to Stanford.Research
Cheriton was involved in creating three microkernel operating systems (OSes). He was one of the early principal developers of Thoth, a real-time operating system, and then the Verex kernel. He then founded and led the Distributed Systems Group at Stanford University, which developed a microkernel OS named V. He has published profusely in the areas of distributed computing and computer networking. He won the prestigious SIGCOMM award in 2003, in recognition for his lifetime contribution to the field of telecommunications networks. Cheriton was the mentor and advisor of students such as: Sergey Brin and Larry Page (founders of Google), Kenneth Duda (founder of Arista Networks), Hugh Holbrook (VP Software Engineering at Arista Networks), Sandeep Singhal (was GM at Microsoft, now at Google), and Kieran Harty (CTO and founder of Tintri). As of 2016, Cheriton is working with Stanford students on transactional memory, making memory systems that are resilient to failures. Industry
Cheriton cofounded Granite Systems with Andy Bechtolsheim.The company developed gigabit Ethernet products. It was acquired by Cisco Systems in 1996. In August 1998, Stanford students Sergey Brin and Larry Page met Bechtolsheim on Cheriton's front porch. At the meeting, Bechtolsheim wrote the first cheque to fund their company, Google, and Cheriton joined him as an angel investor with a $200,000 investment. Cheriton was also an early investor in compute virtualization leader VMware, which was later acquired for $625M by EMC in 2004. VMware had a successful public offering in 2007. In 2001 Cheriton and Bechtolsheim founded another start-up company, Palo Alto based Kealia.Kealia designed a high-capacity streaming video server; Galaxy, a range of servers based on AMD's Opteron microprocessor; and Thumper, an enterprise-grade network attached storage system. Kealia was bought by Sun Microsystems in 2004, with Thumper becoming the Sun Fire X4500. In 2004, Cheriton cofounded (again with Bechtolsheim) and was chief scientist of Arista Networks, where he worked on the foundations of the Extensible Operating System (EOS). Arista had a successful public offering in 2014. Cheriton is an investor in and advisory board member for frontline data warehouse company Aster Data Systems, which was acquired by Teradata in 2011 for $263M. Cheriton is also one of the earliest investors in Tintri, a storage virtualization company founded by his student Kieran Harty. Cheriton was also an early investor in in-video advertising company Zunavision, and he founded OptumSoft.In 2014, Cheriton cofounded and invested in Apstra, Inc. In 2015, he cofounded and invested in BrainofT, Inc. (Caspar). Lifestyle
Although the Google investment alone would be worth over US$1 billion, Cheriton has a reputation for a frugal lifestyle, avoiding costly cars or large houses. He was once included in a list of "cheapskate billionaires". On November 18, 2005, the University of Waterloo announced that Cheriton had donated $25 million to support graduate studies and research in its School of Computer Science. In recognition of his contribution, the school was renamed the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science. In 2009, he donated $2 million to the University of British Columbia, which will go to fund the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative (CWSEI).He more recently donated $7.5M to fund a new chair in computing, and a new course on computational thinking. Cheriton has also funded two graduate student fellowships and one undergrad fellowship at Stanford, and donated several millions of dollars to Stanford to fund research. He campaigned against asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) that was favored by telephone carriers, preferring Ethernet, which he saw as a simpler, proven option. Ethernet gradually superseded alternatives. Personal life
In 1980, Cheriton married Iris Fraser. They had four children, and divorced in 1994. According to public record, Cheriton made a total of over $5,000 donations to the presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2019.See also

<mask> (9 August 1898 – 21 June 1990) was a professor of German studies. Born in Austria, he studied German and English language and literature, and in 1929 moved to London. There he taught at University College, and became friends with the German scholar Robert Priebsch, whose daughter Hannah he married. In 1931 he began teaching at the University of Bristol, where he stayed until his retirement in 1964. He was a prolific author on and editor and anthologizer of German poetry. In addition, he was a dedicated collector of manuscripts and books; part of his collection was sold to Princeton University, and the rest forms the Priebsch-Closs Collection Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies. He is remembered also for his efforts to bring about German-English reconciliation after the Second World War, especially between the cities of Bristol and Hannover.Biography
<mask> was born in Neumarkt in Steiermark, Austria, the child of a law official, Alois <mask>, and his wife, Rosa (born Halm). From 1906 to 1916 he attended the Fürstbischöfliches Gymnasium in Graz, then served in the Austrian army. The Italians imprisoned him in 1918, and upon his release, in 1919, he enrolled at the University of Graz where he studied German and English and received his doctorate with a thesis on Arno Holz, directed by Bernhard Seuffert. At the University of Vienna he got a teaching qualification in 1924, then taught school. He moved to England in 1929 and lectured at the University of Sheffield before he moved to London and taught at University College London. There he met Robert Priebsch, a German professor (author of Handschriften in England, Erlangen 1896-1901), whose daughter Hannah he married in 1931. They had one daughter, <mask> Traugott, who was a professor of linguistics and English at Stanford University, from 1970 to 2003.<mask> admired Priebsch greatly, and edited of some of his unpublished work, including Letter from Heaven (1936) and Christi Leiden in einer Vision geschaut (1936), as well as his correspondence with the linguist Elias von Steinmeyer. That same year, 1931, <mask> moved his family to Bristol, where he began a long career at the University of Bristol. He was hired as a lecturer and head of the German department, was promoted to reader in 1936, and professor in 1948; he retired in 1964. By that time he had been visiting professor all over Europe and the US and Canada, and had advised Jawaharlal Nehru on reforming universities in India. <mask> published monographs, edited anthologies of German literature, and wrote many articles and reviews. He was both praised and criticized for an idiosyncrasy considered unorthodox, belonging to a different age; a reviewer of the second edition of his The Genius of the German Lyric (the fact that a book of literary criticism appeared in a second edition is remarked as notable) criticizes the book for historical confusion and easy generalities, but remarks, "Of course it would be wrong to ignore the very positive aspects of this book. It stands in a tradition of writing which has by now largely died out, being a highly subjective, idiosyncratic study, the product of a civilized outlook, wide reading and a real love of the subject.As such it inevitably demands to be judged by standards other than those of orthodox present-day academic scholarship". The Dictionary of National Biography describes him thusly:

A gracious, charming man in an old-fashioned Austrian manner, he seemed in later life almost the archetypal professor of popular imagination, with straggly white hair, wayward handwriting, and an infectious enthusiasm for anything that caught his attention. Like Goethe he believed that literature could have an effect on individuals and mould them into world citizens. As a teacher he had a rare ability to bring poetry alive, and published on it prolifically. After World War II, <mask> played an important part in the reestablishment of cultural relations between Germany and England, especially between the war-damaged cities of Bristol and Hannover. He led an "expedition" of five men representing educational, governmental, and commercial organizations from Bristol on a visit to Hannover to investigate possible aid projects. In the end, a committee was formed to "support and develop contacts" with Hannover in various areas, efforts for which Cross was rewarded in 1987 with honorary citizenship of the city of Hannover.He died of heart failure in hospital in Bristol on 21 June 1990. His memorial service, on 2 November 1990 at St Mary Redcliffe, was described as "magnificent...framed with the music of Mozart", with the burgomaster of Hannover as one of the participants. Books
From his father-in-law <mask> and his wife inherited an extensive collection of manuscripts that he augmented significantly. He sold 273 16th-century books to Princeton University in 1969. The 2300 volumes of his 17th to 19th-century books comprise the Priebsch-<mask> collection of the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies in London, and after his death the rest of his collection, including 20th-century first editions, manuscripts, and correspondences were donated to the Institute.

<mask>-Arouri (born 19 August 1966; ), also transliterated as Salah al-Arouri or Salih al-Aruri, is a prominent leader of Hamas and founding commander of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas military. He is regarded as "the military commander of the West Bank." And as being "a capable, charismatic, suspicious, and shrewd operator, with excellent connections." Al-Arouri founded the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. The government of the United States accuses al-Arouri of having been, "a high-ranking Hamas military leader dating back to his role as a Hamas student cell leader at Hebron University in the early 1990s." He also served as a recruiter, and was actively involved in raising and transferring funds on behalf of Hamas. He remains the subject of a $5,000,000 bounty by the Rewards for Justice Program.Education, recruitment and jail time
Al-Arouri was born on 19 August 1966 in Aroura in the West Bank. In 1985, he enrolled at Hebron University to study Sharia law. He was elected head of the Islamic faction at the university, where he established ties to Kutla Islamiya (Islamic Blocs), Hamas’ youth wing on campus. Through his connection to Kutla Islamiya, al-Arouri met Muin Shahib, a Bir University-based Hamas operative who recruited al-Arouri to the ranks of Hamas and entrusted him with funding of an infrastructure for Hamas’ military apparatus in Hebron. In November 1990, al-Arouri was arrested by Israeli authorities. He spent only six months in jail, but was arrested again shortly after. Initially held on administrative detention, he spent  15 years in jail for his leadership role in Hamas.In 2007, al-Arouri was arrested again by the Israeli authorities and released in March 2010, probably for his decisive role in the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit who was captured by Hamas in 2006. Al-Arouri was later expelled from Gaza as his presence was reputed to pose a threat to Israel. When he was released from prison in Israel in 2007, he told interviewers that he abjured terrorist attacks, asserting that Hamas is "harmed if we target civilians." He was deported by Israel shortly after his release from prison and moved to Damascus, Syria, where he joined Hamas’ political bureau headed by Khaled Meshaal. When Khaled Meshal left Damascus at the inception of the Syrian Civil War, al-Arouri relocated to Istanbul, where he established his own bureau. Al-Arouri is believed to be living in Turkey, although in December 2015, rumors circulated that he had voluntarily left the country and was "shuttling between Lebanon and Qatar." Qatar has hosted Khaled Meshaal, Hamas’ political leader, as well as Hamas’ political bureau, for years.Ynet News reported that Al-Arouri’s departure was part of the reconciliation efforts between Turkey and Israel, and was discussed during the meeting held in early December between Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, and Hamas’ political leader Khaled Meshal. Leadership and strategy
Al-Arouri is usually portrayed as a pragmatic leader, in contrast with Hamas leadership’s hardline policy. From Istanbul, al-Arouri has allegedly operated independently from the rest of the organization, thereby fostering existing leadership issues in Hamas, an organization multi-headed by design. In fact, Hamas’ Turkey branch is generally described to be taking decisions without taking into account the movement as a whole and without involving the Hamas leadership. According to Matthew Levitt of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank, al-Arouri "has been a key figure behind Hamas’ efforts to rejuvenate the group’s terrorist networks in the West Bank." Levitt asserts that he has dispatched, "dozens of operatives" to Israel with funds to carry out the terror kidnapping of Israelis with the goal of obtaining kidnappees to exchange for Palestinian security prisoners. Some of Al Qassam Brigades’ activities aimed at establishing a Hamas cell in Hebron specialized on kidnapping of Israeli soldiers.In fact, Hamas believes that this strategy is one of the most effective to secure the release of its affiliates. Al Qassam Brigades and the Hamas cell in Hebron are run from remote locations, and have often benefited from help coming from outside the Israeli territories. This was evident since 2013, when Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) arrested 20 terrorists affiliated with Hamas that had been assisted by Hamas operatives abroad with "guidance and funding." Israeli authorities revealed that the primary contact of the cell abroad was Husam Badran, who was released in 2011 and exiled to Qatar as part of the Shalit deal. Al-Arouri said in a conference in Turkey on 20 August 2014 that Hamas was responsible for the 2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers. However, his claim was doubted by experts and Hamas has not admitted responsibility, though the group has expressed support for the attack. The Israeli defense establishment thinks al-Arouri was boasting and was unconnected to the kidnapping.Al-Arouri is regarded as the author of a recent series of incidents of terrorism against Israelis, including the 2015 Shvut Rachel shooting and the shooting of Danny Gonen. His focus is on building Hamas military capacity in the West Bank, by smuggling in weapons and establishing sleeper cells. Financial activities
Criminal prosecution documents related to the case of two US-based Hamas officers convicted in 2007, Muhammad Hamid Khalil Salah and Abdelhaleem Hasan Abdelraziz Ashqar, in which al-Arouri was an unindicted co-conspirator, described his involvement in financial transactions on behalf of Hamas. According to the proceedings, al-Arouri received "tens of thousands of dollars for Hamas-related activities" and "used the funds provided by defendant Salah for the purchase of weapons that were to be used in terrorist attacks." In September 2015, the US Treasury sanctioned al-Arouri for being "responsible… for money transfers for Hamas." The US Treasury claimed that al-Aruri directed and overseen "the distribution of Hamas finances" and portrayed him as "a key financier and financial facilitator for Hamas military cells planning attacks and fomenting unrest." In 2011, al-Arouri had facilitated fund transfers to the families of convicted terrorists and deceased Hamas officers in coordination with Saudi Arabia-based Hamas financial officer Mahir Salah.US authorities also posited that as of 2014, al-Arouri was leading a Hamas initiative that would have destabilized the Palestinian Authority and would have prepared Hamas’ takeover. Moreover, Al Arouri allegedly "financed and directed a Hamas cell in the West Bank that sought to instigate clashes between Israeli and Palestinian forces." More in general, in 2014, al-Arouri was in charge of several Hamas military cells both in the West Bank and in Jordan. The US Treasury claimed that by then, he had "facilitated the transfer of hundreds of thousands of dollars to Hamas, including to the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, for the purchase of arms and storage facilities for weapons." Al-Arouri succeeded in establishing solid ties between the West bank cells and Hamas’s U.S.-based financiers. In this connection, terror finance expert Matthew Levitt claimed that al-Arouri "played a critical intermediary role between otherwise compartmented elements of Hamas’s external leadership and on-the-ground operatives." Diplomatic activities
Al-Arouri has often travelled and attended official meetings as part of Hamas delegations.In March 2012, he met with Turkish President Erdoğan. In October 2012, he attended the visit of the Qatari emir to the Gaza Strip. COVID-19 pandemic
On 3 October 2020, al-Arouri tested positive for COVID-19. References

<mask> (18 April 1920 – 21 May 2002) was a Welsh professional footballer who played as a half-back for Swansea Town and Manchester City. He also represented the Welsh national team over 30 times and is regarded as one of Wales' best ever players. Brought up in the Rhondda Valley, <mask> became a miner after leaving school, but an offer of a professional contract from Swansea gave him the opportunity to leave the colliery. His football career was then disrupted by Second World War, during which he was a physical training instructor. After the war, <mask> made his League debut, and spent four years playing first team football for Swansea, winning the Third Division South championship in 1948–49. Transfer listed after an abortive move to Colombian club Millonarios, <mask> joined Manchester City for £19,500 in June 1950. At Manchester City <mask> spent seven years as captain, leading the club to successive FA Cup finals in 1955 and 1956, losing the first and winning the second.In 1957 he became player-manager of Worcester City, and subsequently wound down his career in his native South Wales, becoming a lorry driver. He died in 2002 aged 82. Club career

Early career
<mask> was born on 18 April 1920 in Ton Pentre, Glamorgan, in the valleys of South Wales, and was one of 12 children. He attended Bronllwyn School in Gelli. <mask> left school at 15, and like many boys from the Rhondda Valley he became a miner. While playing football for Ton Boys Club he was spotted by Swansea Town, for whom he signed first as an amateur, and then a month later as a professional. The Swansea captain was Bill Imrie, a former Scotland international.<mask> named Imrie as a strong influence in his early career, particularly for instructing him in the fundamentals of good wing-half play. <mask> played for Swansea's junior sides, but just as he was approaching the fringes of the first team, the league was suspended due to the outbreak of the Second World War. At the start of the war <mask> returned to the mines. He continued to represent Swansea in wartime leagues, and played for the senior team for the first time in 1939. <mask> struggled to readapt to mining life, and volunteered for the Marines in 1940. He served as a sergeant physical training instructor, primarily in Devon, though he also spent part of the war in India. When in Devon he played football as a guest for Exeter City, and when in Wales he played wartime football for Swansea.Once the war was over <mask> finally made his League debut for Swansea, having lost six years of his career to the war. The Swansea coach in the immediate post-war period was Frank Barson, a notoriously aggressive character who was known as "the centre-forward's graveyard" in his playing days. Barson instructed <mask> in the art of tackling during lengthy practise sessions, and made him aware of the tricks that a wily opponent could use to gain the upper hand in a physical battle. <mask> went on to make 159 league appearances for Swansea in a four-year period, winning the Third Division South championship in 1948–49. An impressive appearance against top-flight club Arsenal in a 1950 FA Cup match resulted in the Londoners making an offer for the player, but Swansea turned it down. Later that year, <mask> received an offer of a trial with Colombian club Millonarios. Colombian clubs, who were not required to pay transfer fees as their governing body was not affiliated with FIFA, made similar offers to several British players.<mask> was one of seven to make the trip to South America. Millonarios offered him a £3,000 signing on fee and £150 per month, far in excess of the £12 per week maximum wage in British football. Once in Colombia, <mask> found himself unimpressed by the conditions. He remarked in his autobiography that seeing football pitches surrounded by barbed wire put him in mind of "a concentration camp, or maybe the monkey-house in the zoo". <mask> stayed in Bogota for only ten days, without playing a single match. Swansea were angered by <mask>'s trip, and transfer-listed him upon his return. As a result, he transferred to Manchester City for £19,500, a British record for a half-back.Ken Barnes joined the club on the same day. The two became close friends; <mask> was best man at Barnes' wedding. Manchester City
<mask> joined a Manchester City side which had just been relegated to the Second Division, and were thus playing at the same level as Swansea. <mask> made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 1950–51 season, a 4–2 victory against a Preston North End side featuring Tom Finney. Manchester City went ten matches unbeaten at the start of the season, until a 4–3 defeat at Doncaster Rovers, where City blew a 3–0 half-time lead. <mask> played in all but one match that season, becoming club captain and helping his club win promotion, as runners-up behind champions Preston. Writer HD Davies, under his pen name Old International, attributed much of City's cohesive play over the season to the addition of <mask> to the side.Promotion meant <mask> was playing club football at the highest level for the first time. For the next three seasons, his club languished in the lower reaches of the league table. During one spell of particularly poor form in 1953, newspapers wrote of a feud between <mask> and his team-mate Ivor Broadis. <mask> was critical of Broadis, a talented inside-forward, but one who in <mask>'s view did not exert sufficient effort when defending.<ref>A Red Dragon of Wales, p. 57.</ref> In the 1954–55 pre-season a new tactic was introduced which would change the direction of the club. Inspired by the Hungary team which had beaten England 6–3 the previous year, the club's reserves had used a tactical system in which Johnny Williamson was used as a deep-lying centre-forward, resulting in a lengthy unbeaten run. Manchester City manager Les McDowall decided to try the system at first team level, using Don Revie in the centre-forward role. Henceforth the system became known as The Revie Plan.The opening match of the season resulted in a 5–0 defeat at the hands of Preston North End. The following match the system was tweaked with Ken Barnes picked in place of John McTavish. City beat Sheffield United 5–2, and the system was retained for the remainder of the season. <mask>'s tactical role was relatively unchanged compared to that of some of his team-mates, but as captain he was responsible for retaining the cohesion of his players. The Manchester Guardian'' regarded <mask> to be well suited to the system, calling it "a strategy which shows off to perfection the strength and maturity of <mask> among his younger defenders". Using the new system, results improved. In September 1954 City beat Arsenal to go top of the league, though not without personal cost for <mask>, as an elbow from Arsenal's Tommy Lawton resulted in the loss of four teeth.City could not sustain their title challenge, finishing seventh, but <mask>'s team enjoyed a successful run in the FA Cup, reaching the final, where they faced Newcastle United. An early goal by Jackie Milburn and an unfortunate injury to Jimmy Meadows on 18 minutes left City playing with 10 men and gave them an uphill task. <mask> took the responsibility of changing tactics: "Like certain generals I believe that in dire emergency it is often better to attack. I clapped my hands and yelled "Let's show these Geordies the stuff that's taken us to Wembley"". The performance in the remainder of the first half was improved, resulting in an equalising goal by Bobby Johnstone, but in the second half Newcastle scored twice to win 3–1. Publicly, <mask> vowed to take his team to Wembley again, but privately he blamed himself for the defeat, questioning whether he had failed as captain. The following season the club surpassed the achievements of the previous season, finishing fourth in the league and again reaching the FA Cup final, this time facing Birmingham City.Conscious that early nerves had affected his team in 1955, in the dressing room he focussed on instilling each member of his team with confidence. This time it was Manchester City who scored an early goal, and with City leading in the second half <mask> told his men to keep the ball in play as much as possible in order to tire out the Birmingham players. Then German goalkeeper Bert Trautmann badly hurt his neck in a collision with Peter Murphy. <mask> instructed <mask> to take Trautmann's place, but Trautmann insisted that he would keep playing. Then Manchester City held on for the victory, and <mask> collected the trophy from Queen Elizabeth II. X-rays later revealed that Trautmann had played on with a broken neck. <mask> took the match ball from the final as a souvenir, and gave it to his son.After the cup win <mask> played one more season for Manchester City. In the summer of 1957 he was offered a new contract, but instead retired from the professional game aged 37, citing loss of pace due to age as the deciding factor. His final appearance for the club came on 22 April 1957 against Everton. In total he made 293 appearances for Manchester City, scoring 9 goals. Upon finishing his professional career, <mask> returned to the Rhondda Valley, and settled in Gelli. He continued to play at semi-professional level, joining Worcester City, who paid him £20 a week and loaned him a car. <mask> made 124 appearances for Worcester between 1957 and 1960, including a three-month spell as player-manager.In 1959 he was part of the Worcester side which knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup. He then moved to Brecon Corinthians, and later Garw Athletic, where he ended his career. Post-playing life
After the end of his football career, he became a lorry driver. He died on 21 May 2002 in Treorchy aged 82, following a long illness with Alzheimer's disease, leaving a wife, Beryl, and two children, Robert and Christine. He is buried in Treorchy Cemetery. International career
<mask> gained 33 caps for Wales. He did not gain any under-age caps, as in his era Wales did not field an under-23 team.He received his first cap in October 1948, in a 3–1 defeat against Scotland. His only international goal came in a 5–1 win against Belgium in November 1949. In October 1955 <mask> was part of the Wales team that beat England 2–1, the first Welsh victory against England in 18 years. Six months later Wales faced Ireland in their final match of that season's British Home Championship. Wales were leading 1–0 when a handball by Danny Blanchflower gave Wales a penalty. <mask> took the kick, but it was saved by Norman Uprichard. <mask>'s failure cost Wales victory, as Jimmy Jones equalised in the second half and the match finished 1–1.A draw in the remaining fixture between Scotland and England meant that the miss also denied Wales victory in the tournament. Instead, for the first and only time there was a four-way tie. <mask> did not play for Wales again. Playing style
<mask> played as a half-back, with the exact position varying during his career. At Swansea he was primarily used as a right-half, but when he joined Manchester City manager Les McDowall switched him to the left, a position which <mask> preferred despite being right-footed. Internationally, he represented Wales in all three half-back positions over the course of his career. <mask> had a reputation as a physically tough player and inspirational captain.Team-mate Ken Barnes described him as a player who was "more about power than guile", and called him a "born leader" who was "brilliant in the air". <mask>'s approach to captaincy was to ensure that every player gave as much effort as possible, mixing the respect of his colleagues with the occasional attempt to frighten them into action; in the tunnel prior to the 1956 FA Cup Final his last action before leading out his team was to hold up his fist and shout "If we don't fucking win, you'll get some of this". At Manchester City he was occasional penalty taker, but his success rate was not high and he was relieved when Don Revie joined the club and took the responsibility for penalties, commenting that "the only reason I took them was because no-one else fancied it".

<mask> (May 6, 1825March 21, 1867) was a civil engineer who served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Early life
<mask> was born near the town of Pennsville in Morgan County, Ohio. He earned a civil engineering degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, then moved to Wisconsin and became a civil engineer and lumberman. After successfully building a log dam on the Wisconsin River for use by lumber raftsmen, he and his wife, Mary, purchased several tracts of land in Kilbourn, Wisconsin (now Wisconsin Dells). He built a home in town with acreage that stretched northward up River Road which included the site of present-day Meadowbrook Resort. Politically, he was a Democrat. Civil War
<mask> entered the Union Army at the beginning of the war as captain of Company D of the 4th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment.He served as part of Major General Benjamin F. Butler's Army of the Gulf, which occupied New Orleans after Admiral David Farragut captured the city in April 1862. <mask> was named acting chief engineer for the city of New Orleans shortly after its occupation. Promoted to major in May 1863, <mask> contributed to the Union Army's engineering activities in support of the Siege of Port Hudson. In August 1863, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel when the regiment was redesignated as the 4th Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment. Red River Campaign
<mask>'s engineering skills during Major General Nathaniel P. Banks' ill-fated 1864 Red River Campaign are considered the reason the campaign did not result in the loss of the entire 30,000-man Army of the Gulf. Having landed his forces at Simmesport, Louisiana in March with the intention of moving north along the Red River some 200 miles to capture Shreveport, the headquarters of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, Banks was repulsed at the Battle of Mansfield on April 8, 1864, by Confederate General Richard Taylor and his force of just 12,000 men. Retreating down the Red River, Banks found the low river level at Alexandria prohibited the passage of Commander David Dixon Porter's fleet of ten Federal gunboats, part of the Union Army's Mississippi Squadron.Hounded by Taylor's forces in the rear, Banks faced the humiliating necessity of abandoning Porter's fleet. Without the fleet's supporting firepower, his entire Army would risk capture before it could return to safety in New Orleans. Resigned to his fate, Banks reluctantly listened to Porter's suggestion to give <mask>'s idea a try. <mask> suggested building a wing dam, similar to those he had built as a Wisconsin lumberman. The dam, <mask> argued, would raise the level of the river. When it was high enough to carry Porter's fleet over the falls, <mask> would blow up the dam, and the fleet would be saved. Persuaded by Porter, Banks agreed to the plan.For ten days, 10,000 troops worked feverishly on both banks of the River to build the dam. Finally, on May 10, 1864, the river rose, the dam was broken, and the fleet floated past. Porter's fleet and Banks' army were saved. The ruins of Bailey's Dam can be seen to this day in Alexandria. A grateful United States Congress voted <mask> the Thanks of Congress, making him only one of fifteen army officers to receive such an honor during the Civil War. Of those he was the only who did not command an army or corps at the time. The original Thanks of Congress signed by Abraham Lincoln can be seen on display at the Bank of Wisconsin Dells; other memorabilia and artifacts are displayed at the Dells Country Historical Museum at the Bowman House, and at Meadowbrook Resort in Wisconsin Dells.Promotion to general
In June 1864, <mask> became the 4th Wisconsin Cavalry's colonel. However, he was soon assigned to command the Engineer Brigade in the XIX Corps in the Department of the Gulf from June through August. He then commanded the District of West Florida from August until November, when he was sent back to Louisiana to take charge of the District of Baton Rouge and Port Hudson. He held other commands in the Western Theater, including command of a cavalry division and an engineer brigade in the Military Division of West Mississippi until the war's end. On November 10, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln appointed <mask> brigadier general of volunteers to rank from November 19, 1864 and submitted this nomination to the Senate on December 12, 1864 and again on March 7, 1865. The first nomination expired without U.S. Senate confirmation on March 4, 1865 and <mask> resigned from the service on July 7, 1865 before the Senate acted on the second nomination. After <mask> was out of the service, on January 13, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated <mask> again for appointment to the grade of brigadier general to rank from November 10, 1864 and the U.S. Senate finally confirmed the appointment on February 23, 1866.On March 28, 1867, President Johnson nominated <mask> posthumously for the award of the  brevet grade of major general of volunteers to rank from March 13, 1865 and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on March 30, 1867. Last years
<mask> survived the war by less than two years. In October 1865, he moved with his wife and children to Vernon County, Missouri, where he was elected sheriff. He was shot and killed on March 21, 1867 near Nevada, Missouri by two brothers he had arrested (but failed to disarm) for stealing a hog. Despite a $3,000 reward, the killers, former bushwhackers Lewis and Perry Pixley, were never brought to justice. A third suspect was lynched. Later William McWaters also fell under suspicion for <mask>'s murder, but managed to escape the posse sent to arrest him.General <mask> was buried with Masonic honors in the military cemetery at Fort Scott, Kansas. His remains were later moved to Evergreen Cemetery, where he rests next to his wife. A monument to his memory stands in Malta, Ohio, and he is the subject of a biography, Hero of the Red River - The Life and Times of <mask>. See also
