<mask> (c.1745–1825) was a farmer, bailiff and estate steward who contributed through his inventions and published writings to the British Agricultural Revolution. He designed a number of improved agricultural machines and implements, and actively promoted more efficient farming techniques. His experiments and publications were widely discussed during his lifetime and continued to attract attention in the years following his death. Biography

<mask> was born around 1745 though his geographical origins are unknown. One nineteenth-century source claimed that he was Scottish by birth but no confirmation of this has been found. According to his own brief remarks, he was raised in the countryside and was 'strongly attached to rural pursuits' from an early age. The earliest record of him is of his marriage in Grove, Nottinghamshire on 25 February 1781 to Sarah Freeman, the daughter of a Nottinghamshire farmer.He was employed at this time as estate steward to Anthony Eyre, owner of several estates in the English Midlands. Over the years that followed <mask> and Sarah were to have five sons and three daughters, many of whom died at an early age: only his second son (<mask>, who became a farmer in the Spalding area of Lincolnshire) is known to have had issue. <mask>’s interest in new agricultural practices led him to undertake a series of crop trials from 1783 onwards, and these convinced him of the superiority of seed-drilling over the traditional broadcast method of sowing. As early as 1787 he was developing his own version of a drill-plough and he announced plans in that year for a book describing it; but his employer’s death in 1788 and his subsequent move to Brothertoft in Lincolnshire as bailiff to Major John Cartwright (political reformer) delayed this project. While acting as bailiff and later as estate steward to Cartwright, <mask> conducted further trials on his own farm as well as Cartwright's. Cartwright combined an active political career with a keen interest in agricultural improvement, and the collaboration between the

texts: two men over a period of fifteen years or so proved beneficial to both. It also brought <mask> into contact with their close neighbour Sir Joseph Banks, who later described <mask> as 'an honest man and an ingenious one', and with the agriculturist Arthur Young, who visited Cartwright's farm, saw some of <mask>'s inventions and remained in correspondence with him, obtaining a number of submissions from <mask> for publication in his Annals of Agriculture.It was during this period of his life that <mask> published his two books, The Theory and Practice of the Drill Husbandry and Minutes in Agriculture. When Cartwright sold his estate in the mid-1800s <mask> moved to take up a tenancy of his own on the recently drained Lincolnshire West Fen, residing first in Stickney and subsequently in the newly established township of Carrington, where he ran a predominantly arable farm. A series of family bereavements (including in late 1816 his wife Sarah) combined with the agricultural recession that followed the end of the Napoleonic Wars brought about a marked decline in his fortunes. He appears never to have tried to patent any of his inventions and it seems unlikely that he earned much if anything from his published works. There is some indication from his final work (see below) that he may also have lost money when several Boston banks collapsed during 1814 and 1815. His final published work was something of a departure from his usual topics: a polemical pamphlet that appeared in 1816 (A Dissertation on the Real Cause and Effectual Cure of the Present National Distress) in which he strongly criticised the political establishment of his day and set out his proposals for reforms to the public finances and the banking system. The Dissertation is, however, above all a plea for proper recognition of working farmers, the ‘miserable drudges of agriculture’ who (<mask> asserts) are ‘the very basis of national prosperity’, in contrast to what he saw as the vested interest of the landowning class.In 1821, at the age of 75 and close to retirement,

 <mask> married a 22-year-old widow (Elizabeth Scargal née Dowse). They had a son and a daughter, both of whom died as children. <mask> died at his home in Boston on 8 April 1825 and was buried at Stickney Parish Church in Lincolnshire. Work

<mask>’s best-known work, The Theory and Practice of the Drill Husbandry, was first published in August 1794 and was reissued in March 1802. The book begins by providing evidence from his own crop trials in favour of the seed drill, claiming yield increases of up to 20% over the traditional method of broadcast sowing. The book then gives detailed instructions, accompanied by illustrations, for the construction of <mask>'s own drill machines (in two versions), a drill plough and two other devices (an expanding horse-hoe and scuffle). He had previously (in 1788) sought and failed to obtain a commendation for his drill from the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, and in a much-disputed claim accused one of the Society's members, James Cooke, of having stolen his design.It is known from Arthur Young's comments that not only Major Cartwright but at least one other Lincolnshire farmer used <mask>'s design, but it is unclear how many others adopted it. The expanding horse-hoe had moveable shares that, unlike its main rivals, could be adjusted to suit the differing distances at which seed had been drilled. <mask>'s cheap and practicable drill plough was adopted by Arthur Young who in turn commended it to the Board of Agriculture and several others. <mask>'s second book, Minutes in Agriculture, appeared in August 1804 (with a reissue in June 1810). His stated intention was to settle the issue of which varieties of grass were most suitable for graziers to use, and his book contained advice on this accompanied by illustrations and dried grass specimens. The more theoretical botanical sections of the work were derivative and on publication attracted largely hostile comment (though later commentators recognised the usefulness of the practical recommendations). But <mask> also added details in

texts: his book about the construction and use of a variety of farming implements.These included his own designs for a horse-drawn thistle cutter, sward-dresser and compound roller, and (less well-received because of doubts about its practicality) his own version of a tree transplanter. Moreover, he added his voice to those of fellow improvers by calling for the removal of 'obstacles that oppose the promoting, improving and extending' of agriculture, and he castigates 'gentlemen of landed property' for ignoring the proper management of their land. <mask>'s other published writings span the years 1798–1816 and chiefly take the form of essays and letters in agricultural journals, covering a variety of topics from potato cultivation to his plans to design a workable reaping machine (in which endeavour, however, he later acknowledged he had been unsuccessful). He won a gold medal from the Board of Agriculture for two of these essays. Of broader appeal, and attracting more interest, were his "Essays on Agricultural Machines" as published in the Board of Agriculture's Communications of 1810. These covered: a new design for a dynanometer (his spelling of dynamometer) for measuring the relative resistances of ploughs or the weight needed to draw them forward; the construction of a new roller and set of harrows; the breaking of horses and oxen; and the construction of carriage wheels 'upon a new principle'. The most important of these essays, however, was "On the Mathematical Construction of a Plough" in which he offered an original and practical solution to the problem of efficient plough design with special reference to the mouldboard.It was in the course of this essay that he challenged Thomas Jefferson's claim to have discovered the mathematical principles for constructing a mould-board of least resistance. This prompted one of Jefferson's nineteenth-century admirers to vilify <mask> posthumously, though less partisan American critics subsequently declared Jefferson's design to be badly flawed. <mask>'s approach to plough construction,

 though it built on the work of others, particularly of John Bailey (1750–1819), earned him a place in the history of plough design. Impact

The readership for <mask>'s books during his lifetime was probably only a few hundred, though his articles in Young's Annals of Agriculture and the Board of Agriculture's Communications would certainly have reached a greater number, and reviews and cyclopedia entries would have extended knowledge of his ideas still further. Unlike many of the best-known pioneers of the Agricultural Revolution, men such as Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester, Jethro Tull and Sir John Sinclair), <mask> had neither the wealth nor the social standing to promote his ideas, but his publications establish him as an important contributor to the development of improved and evidence-based agricultural practice in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

<mask> (; 11 October 1905 – 25 February 1966) was a Ukrainian-born Soviet defector, known for writing the best-selling book I Chose Freedom, published in 1946, about the realities of life in the Soviet Union. <mask> defected to the United States during World War II, and began writing about his experiences as an official in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Early life
<mask> was born on 11 October 1905, into a Ukrainian family in Ekaterinoslav, Russian Empire (now Dnipro, Ukraine) with a non-party, revolutionary father. <mask> became an engineer specializing in metallurgy, and while studying at the Dneprodzerzhinsk Metallurgical Institute he became friends with future Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. An enthusiastic Communist Party of the Soviet Union member who joined the party in 1929, <mask> later became disillusioned by witnessing the effects of collectivization while working in the steel mills of the Donbass region in his native Ukraine, and his personal mistreatment during the Great Purge, although he ultimately managed to avoid arrest. During World War II, <mask> served as a captain in the Soviet Army until 1943, when he was posted to the Soviet Purchasing Commission in Washington, D.C. Defection
On 4 April 1944, <mask> abandoned his post and requested political asylum in the United States.However, the Soviet authorities demanded his immediate extradition, calling him a traitor, and ambassador Joseph E. Davies appealed to President Franklin D. Roosevelt directly on behalf of Joseph Stalin to have <mask> extradited. He was granted asylum, but lived under a pseudonym thereafter, fearing assassination by Soviet agents. <mask> began a relationship with an American woman, Cynthia Kuser-Earle, daughter of Anthony R. Kuser (1862–1929) and sister of New Jersey State Senator John Dryden Kuser, who was married to Brooke Astor from 1919 to 1930. Viktor and Cynthia created a

 family, but never married. They had two sons, Anthony and Andrew, who were obliged to live under their mother's arranged married name (Earle), and they remained unaware of their father's identity until 1965. When <mask> defected, he had a wife, Zinaida Gorlova, and a son, Valentin (born 1935), who remained in the Soviet Union. Gorlova remarried and her second husband adopted Valentin, changing his last name to that of his stepfather's to remove the stigma of his father.In spite of his new surname, Valentin was eventually publicized as the son of a "traitor to the motherland" and for various other reasons was sent to a Gulag in 1953 for five years, where the conditions of the camp drove him to the point where he tried to commit suicide in his cell. Valentin applied for political asylum in America after discovering that his half-brother Andrew lived there (the other American son, Anthony, had died in 1969). The two half-brothers were reunited in Arizona in 1992 at an emotional press conference. Valentin died in 2001 from heart failure, receiving his American citizenship on the day he died. I Chose Freedom
<mask> wrote a memoir, I Chose Freedom, a best-seller both in the US and Europe, containing extensive revelations on collectivization in the Soviet Union, the Soviet prison camp system, and the use of penal labor which came at a time of growing tension between the Soviet Union and the West. The publication of I Chose Freedom was met with vocal attacks from the Soviet Union and by international Communist parties. <mask> had made a deal prior to working with journalist Eugene Lyons, that Lyons would not receive credit, only a percentage of royalties.Trial of the Century

 weekly Les Lettres Françaises resulted in him suing them for libel in a French court. The extended 1949 trial featuring hundreds of witnesses was dubbed "The Trial of the Century". The Soviet Union flew in <mask>'s former colleagues to denounce him, accusing him of being a traitor, a draft dodger, and an embezzler. His ex-wife appeared as well, accusing him of being physically abusive and sexually impotent. When a KGB officer alleged that he had been found mentally deficient, <mask> jumped to his feet and screamed, "We are not in Moscow! If you were not a witness, I'd tear your head off!".In a convincing case, <mask>'s lawyers presented witnesses who had survived the Soviet prison camp system, including Margarete Buber-Neumann,  a survivor of both Soviet and Nazi concentration camps and the widow of German Communist Heinz Neumann, who had been shot during the Great Purge. The court ultimately ruled that <mask> had been unfairly libeled, and was awarded only symbolic damages. In the view of one close observer, Alexander Werth,
Technically, <mask> won his case.... which brought worldwide attention to the cause and damaged the Communist Party in France. Although he did not receive the cost he had asked for, he did cover his trial expenses and beyond. Les Lettres Françaises appealed the verdict. A higher French court upheld the verdict but reduced the fine from 50,000 francs to 3 francs, or less than US$1, on the grounds that trial publicity had helped <mask> sell books. Later years
A social democrat since the 1940s, <mask> felt increasingly alienated from American politics, both from the anti-socialist right-wing and a decreasingly anti-communist left-wing.He later lived in Peru and New York City. His South American business ventures failed. A sympathetic biographer, Gary Kern, has suggested that the KGB played a role in the failure. Death

 dead from a gunshot wound to his head at his desk in his apartment in Manhattan. <mask>'s death was officially ruled a suicide, and this view is widely accepted, including by biographer Gary Kern. FBI files obtained by Kern after a six-year lawsuit show that President Lyndon B. Johnson had taken a strong interest in <mask>'s suicide and had demanded that the FBI determine if his suicide note was authentic or a Soviet fabrication. The FBI ruled that it was authentic, yet some details concerning <mask>'s last days remain questionable, and his son Andrew believes he could have been a victim of a KGB assassination.<mask> produced a documentary film in 2008, The Defector, about his father. <mask>'s decision to defect from the Soviet Union resulted in family members he left behind facing harassment, imprisonment and even death, with more than 30 relatives of <mask> being killed in the Soviet Union as a reprisal for his defection.

Sir <mask> (14 November 1926 – 14 December 2016) was a British Conservative politician who served as a junior minister under Edward Heath. He was a Member of Parliament for a total of 35 years, latterly for Warwick and Leamington, which he represented for almost 30 years before he lost his seat in the Labour landslide in the 1997 general election. Early life and career
<mask> was born on 14 November 1926 in Cambridge to Hugh and <mask>. His father ran a small business. He attended Chichester High School in West Sussex but left at the age of 16 to pursue in career in journalism which he started by joining the local paper. In 1945 he joined Portsmouth Evening News, then The News of the World as a Fleet Street reporter. Finally, by 1953 he had joined the Sunday Express, going onto become Assistant News Editor under the Editor Sir John Junor.Political career
Eager to become a politician, <mask> unsuccessfully fought Peckham in 1955, losing to incumbent Freda Corbet by 13,768. He went onto serve on the Middlesex county council, becoming its youngest member. <mask> served as the Conservative council's Chief Whip, alongside his parliamentary duties, until 1965. Member of Parliament for Brentford & Chiswick: 1959–1966
<mask> was eventually successful in winning the Brentford & Chiswick by 2,919 votes in the 1959 general election. Despite only being in the House for 4 years, in 1963 <mask> played the leading role in opposing deportation of Anthony Enahoro to Nigeria where he would face charges of treason. The fact that he took on this challenge was largely due to Enahoro's arrest taking place in his constituency. For 2 months, he used all parliamentary means to persuade the Home Secretary, Henry Brooke, to not deport the Chief.<mask> claimed that Enahoro could not be deported as he would potentially face execution. Despite this, his efforts failed, and Anthony Enahoro was deported and subsequently jailed for 15 years. Other areas that <mask>

Sixty Conservative MPs called for education to be funded directly by the Treasury instead of by local rates. As troubles grew for the then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, <mask> was part of a group of relatively young Tory MPs in early 1963 who called for a change in leadership. Their preference was Edward Heath, the Lord Privy Seal who would subsequently become leader and Prime Minister, or Reginald Maudling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer over that of then favourite Rab Butler, or Iain Macleod. Untimely Lord Home was chosen as the successor.1963 also saw <mask> became PPS to Robert Carr, Minister for Technical Cooperation, then as an opposition whip in 1964. However, his climb in power was cut short by the Labour victory in the 1964 general election, and then <mask> losing his seat in 1966 to Labour's Michael Barnes by 607 votes. Member of Parliament for Warwick & Leamington: 1968–1997
After a brief 2 years as director for public relations for the Beecham Group, <mask> yet again found himself in the Commons as MP for Warwick & Leamington which he won with a majority of 21,922 in the 1968 Warwick and Leamington by-election. It was triggered by the death of the former Attorney General, Sir John Hobson. As the opposition spokesman on employment and productivity, and with his former boss Robert Carr who was now Shadow Minister of Labour, <mask> argued in 1969 that the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity, Barbara Castle, should hold to her ‘In Place of Strife’ white paper which proposed to restrict the powers of the trade unions. She did adhere to their advice. As a result of the Conservative Party returning to power as a result of the 1970 general election, the new Prime Minister, Edward Heath, put <mask> under Carr as Under-Secretary for Employment.He played a key role in the passage

It was not, however, an uneventful time at the MoD since <mask> did visit the survivors of the 1974 IRA's M62 coach bombing in hospital. <mask> never returned to government, spending his time as vice-chairman of the Select Committee on Race Relations and Immigration between 1978 and 1979. With the Conservative victory in the 1979 general election, the new Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, sent him to Europe as part of the British delegation to the Council of Europe and the Western European Union (WEU). During his eighteen years in Europe, <mask> served from 1983 to 1986 as secretary-general of the European Democratic Group, from 1989 to 1993 as chairman of the WEU Defence Committee and finally as president of the WEU Assembly until 1997. <mask> had been an early admirer of Mrs Thatcher, evidenced by his verbal support of the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960, which she had drawn up and introduced her maiden speech.During the Thatcher years, <mask> showed signs of being an ardent Thatcherite, indeed often being to the right of his Prime Minister on many social issues. Despite this, he demonstrated clear dissatisfaction with her leadership, which had been damaged by the resignation of Nigel Lawson and the Poll Tax, by using a football analogy in May 1990: “Do you sack the manager or don’t you? You may have a good manager but what if the team isn’t scoring goals?”. This sentiment was felt by many Tory MPs which ultimately led to her downfall. He was knighted in 1983. <mask> found himself in controversy in 1995 when a Greek Cypriot claimed that a holiday home in Northern Cyprus, which <mask> has leased

Outside of parliament
Prior to the 1964 general election, <mask> published a biography of Harold Wilson, the Leader of the Opposition, entitled Harold Wilson: A critical biography. In 1981 he became the Chairman of the Wilderness Foundation UK. In 1988, he became Deputy Lieutenant for Warwickshire. He was a Freeman of the City of London and was Chairman from 1985 to 1990 for the United and Cecil Club. He was a governor Mill Hill School for three decades. Over the latter half of his career, his business interests grew which led to criticism that he was just a voice for big drug companies in the House of Commons.In 1995 it was revealed that he was the third-highest earner for MPs with outside interests with contracts worth £55,000. Political ideology and views
<mask> views could often be described as socially conservative, with him calling for tighter restrictions on pornography. He even went as far as to call for the Guardian to be prosecuted for quoting from D. H. Lawrence’s ‘explicit’ book, Lady Chatterley's Lover. Despite this, he has generally promoted press freedom as a former journalist. He believed in hanging, thought life imprisonment should mean at least 25 years, was against anti-homosexual law reform and was for curbs on abortion. He took a fairly sceptical view of mass immigration, calling for "a final halt to immigration as we know it” in 1979. He criticised the then Labour Home Secretary, Merlyn Rees, who he felt had “completely failed to grasp the problem” of illegal immigration.<mask> opposed allowing immigrant women who had British citizenship to bring in

In 1996, he warned that the EU was becoming too federalist, stating in an interview with Jane's Defence Weekly that “the $64,000 question is how we deal with the predatory attitude of the EU as it tries to take over defence…We’re not against the EU, but it doesn’t have to run everything”.

In an interview with GQ Magazine, <mask> expressed that the NAACP does not endorse Presidential candidates. "We don't endorse candidates or political parties. I'm going to embrace the need to increase voter turnout in the Black community, and then we allow the voters to make a determination of the options on the ballot, which of the two they're going to select," <mask> stated. On June 10, 2020, the NAACP hosted a virtual town hall with former Vice President Joe Biden. When asked about Trump, President <mask> expressed, "In my lifetime, I have not seen a single president as bad as Trump. I vacillate between whether or not it's malicious intent, incompetence, a very narrow, myopic view of the world, narcissism... We have not in my lifetime seen anyone so narrowly focused on personal ego and not what's in the best interest of public citizens. It's one thing to disagree about public policy and tax policy; it's a completely different thing to destroy the faith in our system the way he does."Jimmy Fallon interview
On June 1, 2020, President <mask> joined Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show. In the interview, Fallon apologized for wearing blackface in an old SNL sketch that had resurfaced. Jimmy Fallon expressed, "the silence is the biggest crime that white guys like me and the rest of us are doing, staying silent. We need to say something, we need to keep saying something, and we need to say 'That's not OK' more than one day on Twitter." In response to the apology, <mask> noted “that was powerful, but most importantly, that's about courage ... In this time of many people searching for answers and the display of anger and hopelessness and wandering, more people need to speak about where they are with a really authentic voice. And I think you did that

 with the opening monologue.”  <mask> later added, "we are all born flawed, but flawed is part of the journey we are on to get to perfection.If anyone can stand up and say, 'I haven't made a mistake,' run, because that person is clearly a liar." DACA
On June 18, 2020, in Trump v. NAACP, the Supreme Court of the United States blocked the Trump administration's effort to dismantle DACA in "Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al., Petitioners v. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, et al." The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the NAACP in a 5-to-4 decision. President Trump later wrote in a tweet that this was a "shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives." GQ Magazine reported that under <mask>'s leadership, "the nation's foremost and oldest civil rights organization landed a huge win in its Supreme Court case — Trump v. NAACP — that prevents Donald Trump's administration from rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for young immigrants." <mask> added, "It's a huge victory for us." On June 25, 2020, The Hill reported that the NAACP "successfully convinced the Supreme Court to rule against Trump.Its decision to defend DACA, <mask> said, came in part because of the organization's traditional role of being a voice for Black communities, including immigrants. “DACA, oftentimes people seem to think of the Latinx community, when in fact it was far more reaching than that,” <mask> said." President <mask>, expressed in a statement: "For far too long, the voices of the undocumented DACA recipients from the African Diaspora were silenced. There is no democratic dream for anyone if we don't allow our DREAMers to fully participate. This is a tremendous victory for America. Today's Supreme Court ruling in our favor is an incredible victory for justice, in the spirit of

 the NAACP's groundbreaking Supreme Court victory in Brown v Board of Education. We know the value of affirmative litigation to ensure that the nation lives up to its ideals.This ruling exemplifies the ways in which ensuring the Civil Rights for our community pushes the needle on social justice for the benefit of all. Although today represents an exciting victory, we won a battle; the war wages on. Trump could rescind DACA again tomorrow if he wants. The fight truly ends when Congress passes a permanent solution that protects DREAMERS, and the NAACP will continue that fight along with its allies." The Washington Post also reported that "Trump has often seemed ambivalent about DACA recipients — lauding them at some points and declaring they are “no angels” at others — but his administration has tried since September 2017 to end the program. It was implemented as an executive action by Obama in 2012 after a failed congressional attempt at comprehensive immigration reform." Justice Roberts wrote in an opinion that "the dispute before the court is not whether DHS may rescind DACA.All parties agree that it may. The dispute is instead primarily about the procedure the agency followed in doing so..."

Facebook: Stop Hate For Profit campaign
In the summer of 2020, the NAACP launched the Stop Hate For Profit campaign, targeting Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg for refusing to take down hate speech on the platform. In a live interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, <mask> called Facebook "one of the biggest threats to democracy'. It was later revealed that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were working with the NAACP in this campaign. President <mask> praised the couple for embodying “the kind of leadership that meets the moment." He added, "The NAACP deeply value your unwavering support to Stop Hate For Profit."

 said, "the flagrant disregard Facebook has shown in putting a stop to the hateful lies and dangerous propaganda on its platform exemplifies a lack of concern for the greater public and nullifies any notion of corporate social responsibility coming from its leadership.Any brand that claims to have the best interest of its consumers in mind should undoubtedly join the #StopHateForProfit campaign. Facebook is ultimately damaging its credibility with the American public, and any company that wants to avoid doing the same should send a message that we will no longer accept disinformation during this critical time." By July 3, over 750 advertisers joined the boycott, including Unilever, Ben & Jerry's, Patagonia, The North Face, Lululemon Athletica, Coca-Cola, Ford, Starbucks, Target, Pfizer, Microsoft, PlayStation, LEGO, Dunkin Donuts, Best Buy, Adidas, Clorox, and Walgreens. In response to these efforts, on July 1, 2020, CNBC reported that "Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to meet with the organizers of the boycott, a spokeswoman said late Tuesday." On July 7, 2020, Members of the Stop Hate For Profit coalition met with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. CNN first reported that the meeting "didn't go well". <mask> added, in an interview with The New York Times, that “Over the two years that the N.A.A.C.P.has been in conversation with Facebook, we’ve watched the dialogue blossom into nothingness,” Mr. <mask> said. “They lack this cultural sensitivity to understand that their platform is actually being used to cause harm, or they understand the harm that the platform is causing and they have chosen to take the profit as opposed to protecting the people.”

 to develop and produce scripted, unscripted, and documentary projects for linear and streaming platforms. The partnership will be aimed toward elevating a diverse range of voices as well as increasing the visibility of Black artists. The deal includes a commitment to develop projects for CBS Television Network but also allows the selling of show to outside entities." The Hollywood Reporter added, "Included in the deal is a commitment to not only develop for CBS-owned platforms but also to third-party platforms, meaning CBS/NAACP would own content that would be supplied to other buyers like Netflix and Amazon." "In this moment of national awakening, the time has never been better to further tell stories of the African American experience,” said NAACP CEO <mask>."Programming and content have the power to shape perspectives and drive conversations around critical issues. This partnership with CBS allows us to bring compelling and important content to a broad audience." Meeting with President Biden

In a piece on CNN, <mask> wrote, "it wasn't a surprise to many of us that the shortage of hospitals and health care providers serving our communities, combined with the biased assumptions that lead doctors to undertreat Black people's pain and heart attacks, would result in African Americans finding it harder to get tested and treated. And we knew that as soon as the pandemic became racialized, many Americans would no longer be willing to make sacrifices in order to address a crisis that suddenly seemed to be not about "us" but about "them."" He added, "Lives and livelihoods are at stake, most acutely in Black and brown communities -- but so is our democracy. We are seeing high levels of scarcity, with extreme unemployment numbers, while the nation's chief executive uses his bully pulpit to sow division and demonize otherness.With the elections approaching, our country could sink to a level of tribalism that leads to violence."

On May 16, 2018 the Los Angeles Times published an article investigating allegations of sexual abuse. Since the publication, hundreds of women have come forward accusing <mask> of sexual abuse and racial discrimination. On June 26, 2019 <mask> was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department and charged with 29 felonies related to

texts: allegations by 16 women for incidents taking place from 2009 to 2016. The 29 felonies consist of 18 counts of sexual penetration and 11 counts of sexual battery by fraud.The victims were age 17 to 29, had evidence to support claims, and fell within the statute of limitations. <mask> plead not guilty to the charges. Bail was set to $2.1 million and later lowered to $1.6 million. The District Attorney's office is still investigating at least 700 claims and dozens of civil lawsuits filed in state court. On May 23, 2019 the University of Southern California released unsealed documents related to Tyndall's employment under federal court order. The records include student complaints, internal correspondence between Tyndall and USC employees, and Tyndall's performance evaluations. Much of the correspondence is with Larry Neinstein, then-executive director of the USC ESHC, who died in 2016.Since the release of the initial Los Angeles Times article published on May 16, 2018, hundreds of USC students and alumni have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse, assault, battery, and harassment. Over the years, many patients reported that <mask> was unprofessional, creepy, or made them feel "uncomfortable and violated." There were multiple requests to change providers and not see <mask> again. Complaints were generally addressed internally by USC Engemann Student Health Center executive director, Larry Neinstein. In 1991, an undergraduate student reported Tyndall for taking improper photographs, including close-up photos of her genitals and full body pictures. In 2000, a student complained when Tyndall told her a story of the rock guitarist from Megadeth having sex in public on the streets of Chicago. A letter from the student says that it was "degrading and humiliating."In both September 2003 and February 2004, it was reported that <mask> did not permit chaperones (medical assistants and nurses) access behind the curtain during gynecological exams; Neinstein had a conversation with <mask> regarding the concern. In response to the 2004 complaint, Neinstein documented that the men had a conversation and Tyndall "understood."

 Tyndall continued to block chaperones access until eventually the physical layout of the exam rooms were altered. A 2005 complaint came from a student who was "made extremely uncomfortable by... comments about my sexual past and my sexual orientation. The comments were completely irrelevant to my appointment and made me feel uncomfortable." In October 2009, a student reported that Tyndall made an inappropriate comment about her pubic hair saying "This is nice. Laser hair removal?"The student said she felt uncomfortable, embarrassed, and angry. Larry Neinstein's notes say that he addressed the issue with <mask> by recommending that "if [Tyndall] was going to talk about pubic hair...to do this when the student was dressed...if he found someone who might have a good procedure that could be recommended to other students he would phrase it this way." Neinstein noted that "[Tyndall] understood." In October 2016, a complaint said that the "Practitioner repeatedly insinuated that I was promiscuous...and made me feel like a horrible person." In May 2016, internal notes of USC staff concerns regarding <mask>ll state "he continues to say inappropriate things to student/patients and staff...talks about nipples being perky, vaginal muscle tone" and ask if the patient is a runner. Allegations of racial harassment and discrimination
Over the years, USC Engemann Student Health Center received multiple reports of inappropriate racial comments from both students and staff. The concerns eventually were forwarded to the USC Office of Equity and Diversity in 2003.Reports include:

 Statements such as "Mexicans are taking over" and there would be a "reconquista." Statements such as "Hispanics have green thumbs so I like to ask them to care for my plant when I am off." Denial of an African-American student (with authorized access) to the Student Health Center after hours. A statement that "black women have too many children." A question to an African American colleague "Why do you speak so well?" and said something to the effect of "most blacks don't know proper English."

 treated me like a criminal and less than a person." Internal staff comments of Tyndall state that it "seems when [he] gets minorities (African) Dr. Tyndall [makes them] wait longer than Asian or White patients." Reports that Tyndall made comments that students "looked like [his] wife" and telling students about his "beautiful Filipina wife." Treatment of international students
External investigation by MDReview demonstrate that Tyndall had a preference for Asian patients and international students. Tyndall spoke during interviews of his particular interest in international students, especially those from China, saying he tried to empathize with the patients. There are accusations that Tyndall preferred international students because they were easier to victimize due to being unfamiliar with the culture, English language, and practice of American gynecology. Internal investigations by the University of Southern California
Concerns with <mask>'s conduct and behavior were primarily handled internally at the USC health centers by Larry Neinstein (then executive director), William Leavitt (Tyndall's supervisor), and the ESHC director of Quality and Safety.In June 2013, Neinstein contacted the USC Office of Equity and Diversity (OED) regarding student and staff complaints. OED representatives investigated through interviews with USC ESHC staff and one student who had voiced a complaint. Interviews of staff yielded similar comments of Tyndall making patients feel uncomfortable and multiple students refusing to see Tyndall again. The OED reported that there was insufficient evidence of USC policy violation and no justification for continuing investigation. On June 2, 2016, <mask> again was reported to the USC Office of Equity and Diversity. ESHC staff were interviewed and made the following reports. While performing exams, Tyndall would comment on patients vaginal tone and make comments such as "are you a runner?"nearly every day on nearly every patient. <mask> would perform full body checks, citing that he was checking for skin cancer; this is not standard practice for gynecology and was not documented in patient medical

 records. Internal documents state that "Unfortunately the [Medical Assistants] have worked with this so long and feel our management has known about it, yet nothing has been done...At this point they do not keep track of specific names as it occurs every day." In October 2016, an ESHC staff member contacted the OED and said that "past experience has proven that going to HR about issues within ESHC result in [the staff making the report] being seen as the problem." In June 2016, ESHC staff reported Tyndall to USC's Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Services. They reported frustration that prior reports to the university had not led to meaningful consequence or change in Tyndall's behavior. In conjunction with the recent discovery of patient photographs stored in Tyndall's office, he was placed on paid administrative leave effective June 17, 2016.Additional concerns and violations

There were many reports of concerns about <mask>'s hygiene and cleanliness. In June 2016 a nurse reported that she had never seen Tyndall wash his hands before or after a patient visit. Staff reported at least two occasions during which Tyndall asked to keep a patient's intrauterine device (IUD) after it had been removed. In October 2007 and April 2016 multiple USC staff complained about the cleanliness of <mask>'s office including that it was a mess, filled with garbage and clutter, and "smell[ed] horrible." The unsanitary conditions of his office were what ultimately led to <mask>'s placement on administrative leave. While he was on vacation during June 2016, ESHC facilities staff noticed an infestation of flies and bugs and the source was determined to be <mask>'s office. While cleaning his office, a locked file cabinet filled with pictures of patients, some including names and identification numbers, was discovered.The following day he was placed on administrative leave for violation of Engemann policies of office maintenance and protection of patient health information.

 than 17 USC staff were interviewed (including <mask>). MDReview concluded that "significant concern exists that many of Dr. <mask>'s practices are not within the current standard of care... he repeatedly exhibits behavior that is unprofessional, inappropriate, and/or unusual." It was discovered that his procedures for breast and pelvic exams were not within standards of care, and did not qualify as informed consent with regard to patient's rights. The report stated that some of Tyndall's behaviors were "potentially indicative of underlying psychopathy" and raised significant concerns about the physical and psychological safety of patients. According to the MDReview investigation, the following are direct quotes taken from ESHC personnel:

 Described as a hoarder
 Never washes hands
 Uses a rag in his pocket to open door
 Prefers Asian and/or international patients
 One finger and then two fingers [prior to speculum examination]
 "At your age you won't have breast cancer"
 "Ask your boyfriend.""Your husband will be happy." Aftermath and University of Southern California response
On January 31, 2017 the Office of Equity and Diversity presented <mask> and ESHC administration with the findings of investigations regarding the multiple allegations. His actions were not deemed a violation of USC's sexual harassment policy, and were referred back to USC Engemann Student Health Center. It was determined that Tyndall violated the USC policies against race harassment and the issue was forwarded to human resources. In May 2017 after the conclusion of the investigation, <mask> was told that he faced termination. As an alternative to termination, <mask> was offered a severance package if he agreed to resign. He resigned effective June 30, 2017 with a severance package of an undisclosed amount.According to the Los Angeles Times, USC stated that they were under no legal obligation to report <mask> to the Medical Board because it is not governed by the rules of hospitals and clinics. Ultimately, the university reported Tyndall after he asked to be reinstated in March 2018. On May 25, 2018 USC President C. L. Max Nikias

 resigned due to pressure from the USC community. Professors and students were unhappy with the university's handling of the Tyndall situation, particularly after the July 2017 scandal of USC Keck School of Medicine Dean Carmen Puliafito. Criminal investigation, class action settlement, and civil lawsuits

Criminal investigation by Los Angeles Police Department
The accusations of <mask> have become the largest investigation of sexual abuse performed by LAPD against a single perpetrator. After the discovery of illicit photos in Tyndall's office, LAPD obtained half a dozen search warrants for his personal property including Tyndall's home and storage units. Findings included hundreds more images of unclothed women, some taken in clinic settings.Dozens of hard drives were also discovered and are still undergoing review. Since the searches of <mask>'s belongings it has been discovered that he was selling "homemade sex tapes" and photos in the Philippines. Class action settlement: $215 million

In June 2019, USC agreed to a $215 million class-action settlement for tens of thousands of women treated by Tyndall from August 14, 1989 to June 21, 2016. Amounts vary from $2,500 to $250,000 and will be compensated based on the severity of misconduct and the patient's willingness to provide written statements or interviews with mental health professionals. 2021 settlement
On March 25, 2021, USC and a group of 710 women suing the school announced that they had reached an $852 million settlement, the largest sexual abuse settlement against any university. This brought the total value of the settlements to nearly $1.1 billion. Personal life

texts:
<mask> (before 236 BC – after 203 BC) was a curule aedile in 210 BC, praetor of Cisalpine Gaul in 209 BC, propraetor of the same province in 208 BC, consular legate in 207 BC, consul in 206 BC, and magister equitum in 205 BC. He was renowned for having been the first to announce to the Roman Senate the news of the great victory won over Hannibal Barca at the Battle of Zama, which ended the Second Punic War. He served in the army of Gaius Claudius Nero as a consular legate, fighting at the Battle of the Metaurus, and was a close companion to his co-consul of 206 BC, Quintus Caecilius Metellus. He is different from another <mask>us <mask>, his father, who served as consul in 220 BC and dictator in 217 BC. Family Background
Veturius <mask> belonged to the Veturii Philones, an offshoot of the ancient patrician gens Veturia, a powerful patrician family of the Roman Republic. He the son of the previously mentioned L. Veturius <mask> who died during his censorship in 210 BC. Considering his birth had occurred at some point before 236 BC, he was most likely not the father of Tiberius Veturius <mask>, the flamen martialis from 204 BC.Early career
In 210 BC, <mask> <mask> was elected curule aedile, at which time, according to Roman law, he would have had to have been at least twenty-seven years old, indicating that he was born at the very least in 237 BC. In 209 BC, with Quintus Fabius Maximus returning as consul for the fifth time, and Quintus Fulvius Flaccus doing so for the fourth time, the elections of praetors quickly followed, <mask> <mask> being elected alongside Titus Quinctius

 Crispinus, Gaius Hostilius Tubulus and Gaius Aurunculeius. He was assigned the jurisdictio peregrina, or, the jurisdiction over the foreigners in Rome, as well as command over the province of Cisalpine Gaul. Upon the completion of his praetorship in Gaul, during which he had held command over two legions, <mask> made the logical continuation into the propraetorship of Cisalpine Gaul, retaining command over his two legions and serving in that capacity during the year 208 BC. Rise to Prominence during the Second Punic War
Following the completion of his time in Gaul, Veturius <mask> served as a consular legate alongside the up-and-coming Quintus Caecilius Metellus in the campaign against of 207 BC against Hasdrubal Barca, which culminated in the smashing Roman victory at the Battle of the Metaurus, in which <mask> would presumably have fought. <mask>, along with Metellus and Publius Licinius Varussent, was sent back to Rome to announce the victory and death of the Carthaginian commander. Making their way into the Forum, the three emissaries were forced to push their way through jubilant masses and into the senate, where Veturius read out the news, to the shouted approval of the senate, which declared a three day's thanksgiving.Horsemen under Gaius Claudius Nero's command praised Caecilius Metellus and <mask> <mask> highly for their actions during the campaign, and exhorted the commons to create the two as consuls for the next year. This opinion was seconded by the two consuls of 207 BC, Gaius Nero and Marcus Livius Salinator, the consuls sighting the "courage and fidelity" with which

Salinator, serving as dictator with the purpose of holding the comitia in 207, therefore made Caecilius Metellus his magister equitum, as well as consul for the upcoming year 206 BC, alongside <mask>, declaring that the two would become so at the previously mentioned comitia. Both new consuls were appointed to the province of Bruttium, "to carry on the war with Hannibal". Nothing much of note is said to have taken place in the area during <mask>'s consulship, although Livy does recount some happenings. Before leaving Rome, the two new consuls were instructed by the senate to return to their lands plebeians who had been displaced during earlier years of the war in the ravaged and desolated province. The senate also commanded this due to complaints they had received from inhabitants of the province concerning neighboring Gauls, who, taking advantage of the wartime confusion, laid waste to many areas therein.The two consuls preemptively, before heading to Bruttium, published an edict that required the citizens of Cremona and Placentia to return to their homes, giving a deadline for them to do so. Heading to Bruttium, <mask> received his army from a certain proprietor named Quintus Claudius, which he then proceeded to fill with newly raised soldiers, who he had enlisted on his own initiative. The consuls found that many had returned to their homes upon their arrival in the province at the beginning of that spring, and, presumably to drive away the roving Gauls and still-present Carthaginian-aligned forces that yet held control in parts of Bruttium

 traitorous to Rome, ravaged the district of Consentia, taking much loot with them. Despite being ambushed on their way towards Lucania after the looting by Bruttians and Numidian javelin-men, there was more confusion than real danger, and the plunder, as well as most of the men, were saved. Lucania thereafter returned its allegiance to Rome without resistance. Later career and Zama
The next year, 205 BC, upon Scipio Africanus' victorious return to Rome from Spain, Veturius <mask>, in his capacity as outgoing consul, having returned from Bruttium, proceeded to hold the consular elections, wherein "all the centuries voted amidst much enthusiasm for Scipio", Publius Licinius Crassus Dives, the Pontifex Maximus, being elected as his colleague. Later in 205 BC, after having stayed outside of Rome sometime longer to further clean up in Bruttium, Metellus saw his consular army disbanded as he was appointed dictator by Publius Licinius Crassus Dives, the consul serving in Bruttium that year, with the stated purpose of holding the 204 BC consular elections, Philo having done so for the 205 BC consulships earlier that year.Metellus made Veturius <mask>, with whom he seemingly would have been close after years of service together, his magister equitum, before successfully overseeing the election of Marcus Cornelius Cethegus and Publius Sempronius Tuditanus to the consulships of 204 BC. Metellus duly abdicated his office as dictator upon the conclusion of the elections, thus concluding <mask>'s period of service as magister equitum.

As armistice negotiations were dragged on by the delaying Carthaginians, hoping for Hannibal's return, <mask> was sent back to Rome, alongside Carthaginian envoys, alongside M. Marcius Ralla and L. Scipio, the commander-in-chief's brother, to report the news of the three-month armistice that had been agreed upon. This news was quickly superseded by reports that the Carthaginians, Hannibal having returned, had broken the armistice and resumed hostilities, upon which point Veturius <mask> quickly returned to Scipio's side in Africa. Most likely witnessing the momentous final Carthaginian defeat at the Battle of Zama, <mask> was sent with the news of the glorious victory to Rome, approaching the Senate, which had gathered at the Temple of Bellona, in a move reminiscent of that which he had performed after the victory at the Metaurus, some five years earlier. According to Livy, "L. Veturius Philo reported that Carthage had made her last effort, a battle had been fought with Hannibal and an end had at last been put to this disastrous war.This announcement was received by the senators with huge delight, and Veturius reported a further success though comparatively an unimportant one, namely the defeat of Vermina, the son of Syphax. He was ordered to go to the Assembly and make the people sharers in the good news. Amidst universal congratulations all the temples in the City were thrown open and public thanksgivings were ordered for three days." References

texts:
<mask> (27 January 1866 – 21 February 1919) was a British supporter of universal and women's suffrage and anti-war campaigner. She was convicted in 1917, along with her daughter, Winnie, and son-in-law, Alfred Mason, of conspiracy to murder the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George. Some of the evidence given in the case against them appears to have been fabricated on behalf of "a government eager to disgrace the anti-war movement". Early life
<mask> was born in Derby, England, the daughter of an engine driver who had worked as a house servant when young. In 1886 she married <mask>, who was a widowed train driver and later a commercial traveller. They had three daughters, Nellie (born 1888), Harriette Ann (Hettie) (born 1891) and Winnie (born 1893), and a son, William Marshall (Willie, born 1892). Willie's application for exemption from military service as a conscientious objector was rejected in 1916.Political activism
Wheeldon was a socialist. She was a friend of members of the Socialist Labour Party, especially John Smith Clarke although a source of membership is not known. On arrest, police reported finding copies of Socialist and The Tribunal in her house. She and her children, who shared her feminist political views and were active campaigners until Britain joined in the First World War. Wheeldon disagreed with the Women's Social and Political Union's (WSPU) strong support for the War and conscription. With her family, including her daughters Hettie and Winnie and son Willie, Wheeldon expressed her opposition to the War, joining the No-Conscription Fellowship. The <mask> family supported young men opposing conscription in Derby where <mask> supported the family by selling secondhand clothes in her shop at 12 Pear Tree Road,

 where she and her family lived - incorrectly reported as number 29.Arrest and trial

It was known that the Wheeldon family was sheltering young men "on the run" from conscription. In December 1916 'Alex Gordon', an undercover agent from P.M.S.2, arrived at the Wheeldon home, claiming to be a conscientious objector on the run. <mask> took him in for the night and confided in him. He invented the fiction that the work camps for conscientious objectors provided under the Home Office Scheme were guarded by dogs. Gordon called his immediate superior, Herbert Booth, introducing him to <mask> as an army deserter. A package containing two vials of curare and two of strychnine was sent to her. The package was intercepted and it was claimed that these chemicals were intended to kill guard dogs at a work camp.This claim formed the basis of the case against the family when the family were arrested on 30 January 1917. <mask>, Hettie, Winnie and Winnie's husband, Alfred Mason, were all charged with conspiracy to murder the Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George and Labour Party cabinet minister Arthur Henderson. The Attorney-General, F. E. Smith, himself, led the prosecution held in Derby Guildhall. The trial was moved to the Old Bailey, London, where he prosecuted the case in person. The trial began on 6 March 1917; Smith refused to call Gordon as a witness or divulge his name or whereabouts, thus preventing his being cross-examined. <mask> was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude, Alfred Mason (aged 24) was sentenced to seven years and Winnie (aged 23) to five years, even though the jury recommended mercy on account of their youth. Hettie was acquitted.<mask> was sent to Aylesbury Prison, where she went on intermittent hunger strike;
