<mask> (; 17 October 1931 – 29 March 2011) was a Brazilian businessman and politician who served as the 23rd vice president of Brazil from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2010. In business from a young age, <mask> became a self-made multimillionaire as the chief executive of Coteminas, a leading textile manufacturer. In the 1990s, <mask> groomed his son to succeed him at the company. He opted to enter politics in his home state, Minas Gerais. <mask> had a business-oriented political platform, advocating market liberalization and deregulation of production. His expensive political campaigns received hefty funds from Coteminas. After a failed run in 1994 for governor of Minas Gerais, he won the election in 1998 as Senator representing his home state.In 2002, <mask> was invited by the left-wing Workers' Party to run for vice president on the same ticket as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The alliance between the leftist union leader and <mask>, an experienced entrepreneur, proved successful. They won the 2002 Brazilian general election and were re-elected in 2006. Over the years, Lula da Silva and <mask> developed a close and affectionate friendship. Diagnosed with cancer of the stomach and kidney in 1997, <mask> died of the disease in 2011. <mask> came to be revered among journalists and politicians for his spirited personality and friendly demeanor. He overcame his lack of formal education.Based on his business success, he argued in favor of lower taxes, especially indirect taxation over consumers, and a simpler tax system; lower interest rates and greater oversight of the banking industry; and social welfare and assistance programs. As Vice President, <mask> sometimes spoke out against his own government's orthodox policies, causing embarrassment for fellow administration members. His unwavering determination to live in the face of terminal cancer also marked public perception, during and after his time in office. Personal life and early political career

 Antônio Gomes da Silva and Dolores Peres Gomes da Silva. As a child, he was a Boy Scout. He started working while still a child, dropping out of primary school to help his father in the family business.He worked with his older brothers for years before becoming an independent successful businessman. For a time he worked as a travelling salesman and in food wholesale start-ups. Marriage and family
After getting established, <mask> married Mariza Gomes in 1957. They had three children together. Their two daughters are Maria da Graça and Patrícia. Their son Josué took over the presidency of Coteminas after his father went into politics. As a result of a case filed by Rosemary de Morais, a 55-year-old retired teacher, in July 2010 the court ruled that <mask> needed to recognize her as his daughter.(The case may be appealed.) He had refused to undergo DNA testing but, according to Brazilian law 12.004/2009, this refusal is accepted as evidence of paternity. In addition, the judge ruled that other evidence in the case led him to his decision. Rosemary de Morais said she was the child of Francisca de Morais, a nurse, and <mask>, from a relationship they had in 1954, before either was married. The legal case over Morais' parentage is still ongoing, as there are some appeal rights. Career

Alencar eventually turned his family's small clothes factory and retail store into a major business. In 1967, he founded Coteminas, which he would lead to become one of Brazil's largest textile manufacturers.He produced goods for traditional brands in its portfolio, such as Artex, Santista and Calfat. He vied for dominance of the global market after a merger with South Carolina-based Springs Industries. After decades as a businessman, <mask> decided to enter politics and prepared his son to take over his leadership of Coteminas. He ran for governor of Minas Gerais in 1994. Although he was not successful, in 1998 he was elected as Senator from Minas Gerais. While in the Senate, <mask> worked on several Commissions, including the Senatorial Commission for Economic and Social Matters. In 2002, he left the presidency of

 his company, by then a leading player with roughly 850 million reais in yearly net sales, to his son Josué Gomes da Silva.<mask> ran for Vice President of Brazil, tapped to be Lula's running mate, to assuage worries about the candidate's alleged anti-business bias. He became the honorary President of the center-right Liberal Party. At the end of 2005, <mask> left his party to associate with the new Brazilian Republican Party, whose founders included Bishop Marcelo Crivella of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, a large and growing evangelical church in Brazil and other countries. Crivella is also a Senator representing Rio de Janeiro in the federal government. Vice Presidency (2003-2010)

In office, <mask> aligned with another successful businessman in the cabinet, Luiz Fernando Furlan, to channel the demands of Brazilian businessmen. They voiced discontent with bureaucracy, insufficient infrastructure and cautious monetary policy. His efforts led to the strengthening of Apex-Brasil, a pro-export agency seen as instrumental in the Brazilian economy's recent rise in exports.<mask> was the most notable person in government to openly complain of the conservative monetary policies of the Brazilian Central Bank, under Henrique Meirelles, backed by ministers Antonio Palocci and Paulo Bernardo. He often criticized his own administration for failing to lower the Central Bank's base interest rates and demanded a reform of the country's tax system. In November 2004 he was sworn in as Defense Minister, following the resignation of <mask> Filho. Lula turned to him to occupy the position. <mask> tried to resign on several occasions, claiming that a businessman would hardly be the best choice for running a nation's military forces. President Lula convinced him to stay until March 2006, when <mask> resigned his ministerial post, in favor of anti-graft activist Waldir Pires. Despite his disagreements with some policies of the Lula administration, <mask> was officially invited by Lula to be his running mate in the 2006 general elections.With Lula's re-election victory on 29 October, <mask> secured his

 position as vice president for another term. <mask> adopted a lower tone, while still espousing his traditional positions. He sought to run for the Senate in 2010, but was forced to give up due to the advanced stage of his cancer disease. Disease and death

On a routine check-up, <mask> was diagnosed with stomach and kidney cancer in 1997. After undergoing treatment for some length of time, he had his right kidney and two-thirds of his stomach surgically removed. Five years later, a malignant tumor in his prostate was removed. As the disease had metastasized, it continued to spread, and in 2006 doctors discovered a sarcoma in his abdomen.On 26 January 2009, a surgery extirpated eight tumors, along with compromised portions of his small and large intestines and the ureters. He was treated for digestive hemorrhage in December 2010 with urgent surgery, his last as vice president. Doctors could not remove the tumors in his abdomen because of the number of operations to which he had already been subjected – eighteen in all. <mask> received chemotherapy for many years. He was mostly treated at Hospital Sírio-Libanês, in São Paulo. He also received experimental treatment at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.<mask> died in late March 2011, in the city of São Paulo, after 13 years battling metastasized cancer. His death was met with expressions of grief and respect by members of different institutions and across the political spectrum – former President Lula said he knew "few men with <mask>'s goodness and spirit" and President Rousseff said it was an "honor" to have served alongside him. Brazil held a state funeral for <mask>, and Vice President Michel Temer decreed seven days of official mourning. <mask> is remembered as an honest and independent politician who favored social welfare and economic freedom.

<mask> came under criticism during his career for what some viewed as a lackadaisical effort in left field. When <mask> was a free agent in 2009, Toronto Blue Jays GM J. P. Ricciardi commented in response to a question about acquiring <mask>: "Do you know the guy doesn't really like baseball that much?Do you know the guy doesn't have a passion to play the game that much? How much do you know about the player? There's a reason why you're attracted to some players and there's a reason why you're not attracted to some players. I don't think you'd be very happy if we brought <mask> here." Ricciardi later apologized for his comments. In 2008, Reds announcer Marty Brennaman criticized <mask>'s lack of clutch hitting as well noting, "He homers; he doesn't drive in runs." Marty Brennaman said in 2007, "I think he was overweight last year.He walks to his position. He walks off the field. You see no energy whatsoever and that disappoints the heck out of me." However, Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo had this to say about <mask>: "<mask> was the most misunderstood player I have heard about in recent memory," Rizzo said. "The way he was misconstrued [in Cincinnati] was almost unbelievable. He plays banged up. He'd go out there 162 games if you'd let him.He's the most consistent player in the game the last six years." <mask> was asked in 2012 about his hitting style and at times, prolonged slumps, responding, "When I'm going bad, I'm the worst player in the league.

Commenting about whether strikeouts were a concern for him, "It depends on when, you know. If it's first inning, two outs, nobody on, you know I'm not going to lie to you, I'm trying to get in the seats.

After the Nationals moved him to first base midway through the 2009 season, his UZR/150 was −30.8 – the next closest first baseman (over 500 innings) was Victor Martinez, at −9.1. <mask>, for the first time in his career, went into spring training in 2010 as a first baseman. By the All Star Break, his UZR/150 was −1.1, ahead of Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, Mark Teixeira, and Prince Fielder. Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports had this to say of <mask>'s time with the Reds in comparison with the 2010 Reds team. "It's a different Reds team than the older, beer-bellied softball teams of recent years. Those Reds were Ken Griffey and <mask> lounging on the clubhouse's leather couches, hitting home runs, misplaying balls in the outfield and thinking they had it all figured out, when all they knew how to do was lose."Position changes
In December 2005, Reds manager Jerry Narron informed the press that, due to the trade of popular first baseman Sean Casey to the Pittsburgh Pirates for left-handed pitcher Dave Williams, <mask> would be moving to first base for

After Nick Johnson was traded to the Florida Marlins, <mask> was made the Washington Nationals' everyday first baseman. During <mask>'s tenure with the Chicago White Sox, he mostly played as a designated hitter, sometimes filling in for Paul Konerko at first base in games where Konerko himself played as the DH.

 variation of a method developed by Robert Koch in 1882. Hygienic Laboratory (1887–1896)
As the director of the Hygienic Laboratory, he researched on a plethora of different infectious diseases and their respective etiology and vaccine treatment while urging necessary hospital protocols and regulations for isolation of infected patients. Cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, and plague were the four main epidemic diseases that the laboratory investigated. San Francisco Quarantine station
In 1899, Walter Wyman transferred Kinyoun to the San Francisco Quarantine station where he became head of the Marine Hospital Service in San Francisco. In March 1900 he was central to the discovery of the San Francisco plague of 1900–1904. He resigned his position in 1901 after allegations that his conclusive bubonic plague diagnoses were scaremongering.He was proven correct by independent testing and the appearance of further cases. Marriage and children
<mask> and Susan Elizabeth "Lizzie" Perry married in 1883. The couple had at least five children: Bettie <mask>; <mask> Kinyoun; <mask> Houts; Conrad Kinyoun; and <mask> Kinyoun. After his first child, Bettie died at the age of 3 from contracting diphtheria, he poured himself into his work and even set up a public diphtheria laboratory at Georgetown Medical School. Death and afterward
<mask>n died on February 14, 1919, in Washington, DC. A collection of his papers is held at the National Library of Medicine. San Francisco Plague

A Japanese ship, the S.S. Nippon Maru, arriving in San Francisco Bay in June 1899, had two plague deaths at sea, and there were two more cases of stowaways found dead in the bay, with postmortem cultures proving they had the plague.In New York in November 1899, the British ship J.W. Taylor brought three cases of plague from Brazil, but

 response to what he said to be massive scaremongering by the MHS, Gage pushed a censorship bill to gag any media reports of plague infection. The bill failed in the California State Legislature, yet laws to gag reports amongst the medical community succeeded in the passage and were signed into law by the governor. Also, $100,000 was allocated to a public campaign led by Gage to deny the plague's existence. Privately, however, Gage sent a special commission to Washington, D.C., consisting of Southern Pacific, newspaper and shipping lawyers to negotiate a settlement with the MHS, whereby the federal government would remove Kinyoun from San Francisco with the promise that the state would secretly cooperate with the MHS in stamping out the plague epidemic.Despite the secret agreement allowing for Kinyoun's removal, Gage went back on his promise of assisting federal authorities and continued to obstruct their efforts for study and quarantine. In his final speech, to the California State Legislature, in early January 1903, Gage blamed the federal government, in particular, Kinyoun, the MHS, and the San Francisco Board of Health for damaging the state's economy.

<mask> (born 13 December 1970) is a Scottish football coach and former player. As a player he was an attacking midfielder who notably played in the Premier League for Coventry City and Bradford City, and in the Scottish Premier League for Aberdeen. He also played in the Football League for Nottingham Forest and Northampton Town. He was capped 18 times by Scotland, scoring two goals. He is ranked 11th on Aberdeen's all-time appearances list. Following retirement, <mask> spent time as an academy coach initially returning to former club Nottingham Forest before later having a spell with Peterborough United. Playing career

Aberdeen
Born in the village of Portsoy in Aberdeenshire, <mask> began his career in Glasgow as a trainee striker at Rangers (alongside future Scotland teammate John Spencer) but was allowed to leave in 1987; he soon moved back to his home region, signing for Aberdeen.Having made his debut at the end of the 1988–89 season, 18-year-old <mask> made an impact in the first team from the outset of the following campaign, starting against Rapid Vienna in the UEFA Cup and against Rangers in the 1989 Scottish League Cup Final at Hampden Park, which Aberdeen won 2–1. The club finished runners-up in the Premier Division, and <mask> picked up another winner's medal as an unused substitute in the 1990 Scottish Cup Final. In 1990–91 he scored 13 league goals and linked up with Hans Gillhaus to great effect as Aberdeen missed out on the title on the final day. The strikes including a hat-trick away to Dundee United, four away to Dunfermline and three across two home wins over Celtic. He won the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award for the season. Although <mask> played 42 games in 1991–92, the season was a disappointment as Aberdeen finished only 6th in the league. He scored in a September victory over Rangers at Ibrox Stadium which proved to be Aberdeen's last win at that venue until 2017.1992–93

In March 1993 he suffered a fractured ankle in the quarter-final of the 1992–93 Scottish Cup against Clydebank but was rushed back to fitness after only two months out and appeared as a substitute in the final of the competition, which Aberdeen again lost 2–1 to Rangers. Despite failing to win any trophies and missing part of the season with his injury, he won the PFA Young Player award for a second time. In 1993–94 <mask> helped Aberdeen to another second-place finish in the Premier Division. He also scored five goals in four matches in the Cup Winners' Cup, finishing joint-top scorer in the competition. The next season almost ended in relegation for the club and <mask> started only 15 league games due to a persistent foot injury.He returned as a regular starter in 1995–96 playing in a more withdrawn central midfield role to accommodate strikers Dodds, Booth and Shearer. He produced an impressive performance in the semi-final of the League Cup as Aberdeen overcame Rangers, scored a long-range goal in a league game against the same opponents a few weeks later and was in the team which won the 1995 Scottish League Cup Final, beating Dundee. Following this victory, he decided to seek a new challenge in his career and requested a move with his contract due to expire. As he had impressed in Europe against Italian opposition (Torino), Serie A clubs showed an interest and <mask> has stated that Sampdoria were keen to sign him under the Bosman ruling at the end of the season, but he was determined that Aberdeen should receive a transfer fee, therefore agreed to a £2 million transfer to Coventry City of the English Premier League in February 1996.

 left Aberdeen for the first time having made 253 official appearances for the club, scoring 63 goals, and the transfer fee they received for him was a record amount. Coventry City
25-year-old <mask> made his Coventry debut against Middlesbrough on 24 February 1996 and made 12 league appearances in the latter part of that season under manager Ron Atkinson, scoring what would prove to be his only league goal for the club against QPR. In 1996–97 he played 27 times in the league but only started 19 of those, and scored an own goal in a game against Manchester United.He scored twice in Coventry's run in the 1996–97 FA Cup, netting in the third round game against Woking, and again in the fourth round victory at Blackburn Rovers. By that time Gordon Strachan had taken over from Atkinson as manager, and in the close season he allowed <mask> to leave as he could not guarantee his place in the team. Despite his stay at Highfield Road being fairly brief, he later described the experience as "fantastic" due to the excitement of the games fighting relegation. Return to Aberdeen
In summer 1997 <mask> returned to Aberdeen, rejoining Roy Aitken's side for a fee of £700,000. This spell at Pittodrie was shorter and less successful than his first, although he did manage a career-best total of 14 league goals in 1998–99 including on the opening day which was the first goal of the Scottish Premier League era. He also played in the 2000 Scottish League Cup Final and 2000 Scottish Cup Final, both of which ended in defeat. Having been a regular starter since his return he played less frequently in his final season, 2000–01, under manager Ebbe Skovdahl.In December 2000 he stated publicly that he may not sign a new contract and suggested that Aberdeen's ambition did not match his own (unaware of the club's financial plight at the time), alienating him from the hierarchy; he soon departed for a second time upon the opening of the

 winter transfer window, having made a further 126 Aberdeen appearances (31 goals). Later years in England
<mask> returned to the Premier League at the age of 30 with Bradford City, initially on loan, and scored on his debut for the Bantams on 1 January 2001 against Leicester City. Bradford were relegated in last place but the loan move was a success (17 games, three goals), with the deal being made permanent in the summer when <mask>'s Aberdeen contract expired. In the 2001–02 First Division he made 45 league appearances and finished the season as top scorer with 14 goals (including a hat-trick in a home win over Watford), but financial problems meant he was released by Bradford in June 2002 following the collapse of ITV Digital. He joined Nottingham Forest in August 2002 and in his first season steered Forest into the play-offs in 6th place. However they dropped to 14th the next year and were relegated in 2005, and <mask> moved on as a free agent. In July 2005 he signed for Northampton Town and in his first season with the club achieved promotion from the fourth tier; in April 2007 he was released from his contract with The Cobblers, aged 36, and retired from playing.International career
Having previously been selected for the Under-21 side, and after declining an approach from Northern Ireland (his father's birthplace), <mask> made his debut for Scotland in November 1992 against Italy. He went on to earn 18 full caps. As an intermittent member of the main squad, he also appeared twice for the B team in 1994 and 1996. Whilst at Coventry City he was selected for UEFA Euro 1996, and made one appearance during the tournament as a substitute in a 2–0 defeat to England. His two international goals were both scored while playing for Aberdeen, although four years apart: the first came against San Marino in 1995, and the second in a 2–1 UEFA Euro 2000 qualifier defeat at home to the Czech Republic in March 1999;

 he appeared from the bench in the return fixture three months later, which proved to be his final Scotland match. Coaching career
<mask> later rejoined Nottingham Forest as a coach for their youth team from 2007 until he left the post in May 2012. He also spent time on the coaching staff at Peterborough United, joining in August 2012 to work under Darren Ferguson as a replacement for Mark Robson but departing less than a year later, replaced by Gary Breen (coincidentally, once a teammate at Coventry for a short period).Personal life
In April 2009, at the age of 38, <mask> suffered a mild stroke. During further tests it was discovered that a hole had been present in his heart all his life (heart scans were not part of the medical examination during his transfers, and may have jeopardised his career had they been) and in 2010 he underwent surgery to correct this. In 2015 <mask> was voted into Aberdeen's 'greatest ever team' by supporters of the club. In November 2018, he was one of four inductees into the Aberdeen Hall of Fame. In 2016 he was living in Barcelona. References

He remained on contract with the club, and Parramatta stated the most important issue was his health. <mask> booked himself into full-time rehabilitation interstate. On 8 January 2008 the Parramatta Club reviewed his behaviour at the rehabilitation clinic and lifted his suspension but he was subject to a number of sanctions which included a fine and charity work. Early in the 2008 season, after just three games of football, <mask> advised his club and teammates that he was suffering from bipolar disorder.He then gave a statement to the media saying he had been given an indefinite leave from football, saying he was having trouble coping with the constant criticism from the media. <mask> returned to his family in the Gold Coast, with the aim to rest and recuperate with the aim of returning to professional rugby league in the future.

Wigan announced in June 2008 that they had signed <mask> for the remainder of the 2008 season and 2009. <mask> linked up with his new teammates in July once his work-permit has been approved, after weeks of visa complications. He played his professional début for the club in a home loss to Huddersfield, although the mental illness that had ended his season for the Parramatta Eels and lack of match fitness did produce some concern about his ability to play rugby league in Europe's top-flight competition, which was reflected in the terms of his contract to Wigan, despite his claims that his bipolar condition was now under control:

<mask> (August 31, 1920 – November 22, 2013) , popularly known as <mask> was an American computer pioneer who co-developed the IAS machine that laid down the blueprint of the modern day computer in the late 20th century. He was also a  pioneer of privacy rights, social critic of technology policy, and a founder in the field of computer security. Biography
As an undergraduate, <mask> read electrical engineering at the Moore School of the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his master's degree in the same subject at MIT, in 1942. During World War II, <mask> worked for the Hazeltine Corporation (1942–1946) on classified military projects. After the war (1946–1951), he joined the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton to work with John von Neumann on building an early computer. After completing his PhD there, he moved to North American Aviation (1951–1952), helped to move the aviation industry from punch-card machines to early computers, and in 1952 began teaching a class in computing at the UCLA Extension Division; it continued for 12 years.In 1952 he joined the RAND Corporation, where he stayed until 1992. He was an early design engineer on the RAND JOHNNIAC computer. In 1961, he was the founding president of the American Federation of Information Processing Societies, an early technical computing society. <mask> predicted that increased reliance on computers would create new privacy issues, and in 1972 he chaired the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Special Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems, which developed policy recommendations including the Code of Fair Information Practice that significantly influenced the Privacy Act of 1974. He continued to study and write about privacy for many years. <mask> influenced many aspects of computing including the initiation and direction of one of the first computing courses, at UCLA and authored some of the first textbooks in the field of computer security. In addition, he chaired several influential studies, including one in 1967 that produced a groundbreaking and transformational report to

He continued to record singles while on break from deployment, including the song "Marching Off to War".It was only after <mask> finished his stint in the military that he was finally able to release his debut album, 1967's The Soul of a Bell, on Stax Records. <mask>'s Top 20 single "Everybody Loves a Winner" was on this album. <mask> was a close friend of fellow Stax recording artist Otis Redding. <mask> was supposed to be on the same tragic 1967 flight that led to Redding's death. "It started snowing so bad in Chicago, the promoter up there canceled my show," recalls <mask>. The tragedy led to a collaboration between <mask> and Booker T. Jones (of Booker T. & the M.G.

With rumors of Takashi Toritani considering to be posted to the majors during the off-season, <mask> was one of the candidates considered for his replacement as the team's main shortstop. Despite Toritani's declaration to stay with the team however, <mask> was included in the main squad during spring training for the first time since he was drafted. But when he only managed to notch one hit during the pre-season exhibition games (0.067 average), he got sent back to the farm before the season began.Because of the team's abundance in infielders who specialized at either 2nd base or shortstop, <mask> was assigned to 3rd base in most of his outings in the Western League (farm) games. His hitting improved as the season progressed, and he even batted clean-up in a couple of games. He finally debuted as a pinch-hitter in the May 28 inter-league match against the Rakuten Golden Eagles, but his at-bat ended with a foul fly. This got him sent back to the farm once more, making this his first and final main squad at-bat for the season. Unfazed, he still continued to hit well in the farm. In the May 31 game against the Dragons, he together with Ryutaro Umeno and Taiga Egoshi notched a historic 3 consecutive home-run feat that was last accomplished in the Western League 35 years ago.

<mask> (born 1964) is an American film and television director, television producer, and screenwriter. Early life and education
<mask> was born to Puerto Rican parents and grew up on the north side of Chicago. In an interview she stated, "My parents thought moving to the suburbs was a sign of success," and "We were always the family that made everyone say, 'There goes the neighborhood.'" She and her family moved to the suburbs when she was a teen. She started working part-time at a movie theater where her interest in film developed. She earned her undergraduate degree in art history from the University of Illinois at Chicago and went on to get a graduate degree in film. Personal life
Troche is a lesbian.She met Guinevere Turner her then partner while she was making Gabriella (1991 -1993). They began to work on a film based on their own experiences and their friends in the Chicago lesbian community, which they originally titled "Ely and Max," but was changed to Go Fish. By 1993 <mask> and Turner ended their relationship and <mask> moved to New York where she wrote several scripts. <mask> says mixing business and romance on a lesbian film set can be a recipe for disaster. Turner and <mask> detail how their breakup during the middle of Go Fish's production was not only difficult for them personally but also trying for their cast and crew, who felt compromised by the fighting couple's palpable tension on the set. <mask> lived in London from (1997–1999) until she returned to United States to direct The Safety of Objects (2001). To make sure she would not forget the film's lesson, she had "remember that this life is short" tattooed on the inside of her left wrist, in Spanish, as she was writing the script.Career
Troche began her professional filmmaking career in the 1990s. Troche is just one of several lesbian directors who launched their careers with independent gay-themed films and have gone on to find work in Hollywood, where women

 make up just 12% of the Directors Guild of America membership. Early career
While studying at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Troche made several short films while in school such as Let's Go Back to My Apartment and Have Sex (1990), This War Is Not Over (1991) and Gabriella series of short films in (1991–1993). <mask> did three features before she went into television, Go Fish, Bedrooms and Hallways and The Safety of Objects. These three films were made over the course of ten years. After completing The Safety of Objects, Troche realized that she had only directed so much content and wanted to work on her craft of directing. She wanted to work on projects that were immediate work not something that was going to take three years to make.Films
Her directorial debut was the groundbreaking film Go Fish (1994), a lesbian love story. Made on a shoestring budget, it was one of the truly "independent" films of the mid 90s, and certainly one of the first in the lesbian genre. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994. The film was co-written and co-produced with Guinevere Turner, who was <mask>'s girlfriend at the time. Her next feature film was Bedrooms and Hallways (1998) which explored sexuality. She also directed The Safety of Objects (2001), which was adapted from the short stories of A. M. Homes and focused on heterosexual love in suburbia. She was also a producer for both Go Fish and The Safety of Objects, as well as for Stacie Passon's 2013 film Concussion.Go Fish
<mask>, a Latina director teamed up with her then partner and co-writer to finance on their own an experimental lesbian feature. It was the first film to be sold to a distributor during the Sundance Film Festival. With the small amount of approximately $8000, started their road to a Samuel Goldwyn $450,000 sale.

 $53,000. "<mask>'s Latina identity was (problematically) written out of the marketing campaign and the film was promoted on the basis of her gender and sexuality." The film was released during gay pride month in June 1994 and eventually grossed $2.4 million. Go Fish proved the marketability of lesbian issues for the film industry.<mask> mentioned that during the filming of Go Fish (1994), at one point she didn't have money to pay her phone and electric bills. The film also put a label on her and critics considered her "a professional queer", a fact that she sometimes hated: "Go Fish made me such a card-carrying member. It is, like, boring. I go into interviews for Bedrooms and Hallways and all anyone can talk about is being gay, gay, gay." "If you're gay, and you sleep with someone of the opposite sex, does that make you straight? Troche muses afterward. "I've done it, and I don't consider myself straight at all."Bedrooms and Hallways
In 1997, <mask> moved to London to direct the film Bedrooms and Hallways (1998) with British producer Dorothy Berwin and her partner Ceci Dempsey. The film was backed by a major studio so it was completed fast. It was a film that was exploring the romantic complications among a diverse group of gay, straight, and undecided characters. <mask> said she wanted to make a film "that's genderless, without sexual identity and politics." The movie is a sex farce that tries to challenge conventional and rigid views on gender and sexual orientation. The film won the Audience Award at the 1998 London Film Festival. The Safety of Objects
Troche returned to the United States, and to her previous supporter, Christine Vachon, and British financiers in order to direct The Safety of Objects (2001).The film was made from the short stories of A.M. Homes, who also co-wrote the screenplay with <mask>. <mask> used seven of the 11 stories in the collection, melding the suburban vignettes into one story. The ensemble

 cast with Glenn Close, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Kay Place, Patricia Clarke and Dermot Mulroney does an excellent job of delivering <mask>'s vision of one emotional arc to the seamlessly blended narratives. Television
Her television work is just as extensive as her film work. She directed an episode of the HBO hit drama Six Feet Under. And for three seasons, she has been a director and writer for the Showtime series The L Word, a show about lesbian friends living in Los Angeles. She has served as the associate producer for the series and was recently promoted to co-executive producer.She has also expanded her writing and directing credits, writing an episode for the series South of Nowhere and directing an episode of the series Touching Evil, as well as Ugly Betty and Law & Order. <mask> got offered to do and episode of Six Feet Under (2001), and she enjoyed the beauty of being able to work with three cameras, it opened up her world to a different way of filming. Since she had filmed low budget independent film it was a nice change and more opportunity to be creative. 2001 Six Feet Under episodic series – (2001-2005)
Season 2 Episode 3 was written by Kate Robin and was directed by Troche. In 2002 Six Feet Under won the Peabody Award and <mask> was one of the directors for one of the episodes. 2004 The L Word (TV Show) – episodic series – various episodes
<mask> was the co-executive producer and writer, of this popular series about a group of Los Angeles lesbians of which she has also directed several episodes. For Troche, casting for The L Word, "a lot of convincing" and some volleying of "you don't understand, but our audience will."<mask> says her films are all connected to various stages in her life. Making a lesbian film was important to her when she was younger; she is very pleased with her current project, writing and directing the first lesbian series to screen on American television. The L Word discussed hot topics such as

<mask> was the consulting producer on five episodes. Themes
In the end, Troche believes that even if she eschews queer themes (which she did in The Safety of Objects), every film she makes is, philosophically, gay. "For example, I write my women like I like my women. They don't let people get away with anything.They're tough-talking," she says. "The truth is, everything I do is informed by being queer. My homosexuality doesn't go away just because, the characters aren't gay." <mask> seems to always have a character that relocates from the East Coast to the West Coast, and shows their struggle with Los Angeles. She also has a wide variety of multi-racial cast, which ties back to her life. She lived on the East Coast and was an outcast in her suburban community by being queer in a Puerto Rican community.

<mask> (c. 1819 - March 28, 1872) was a Baptist minister and leader of the York County, South Carolina congregation that emigrated to Arthington, Liberia. In May 1871, he was one of the victims of a series of attacks in York County against local blacks by members of the Ku Klux Klan. His situation received wide attention on account of his condition, as <mask> had been stricken by an illness while a child which had left him crippled with his arms and legs in a withered state. He was known for preaching about rights and equality and taught local children how to read and write. Early life

<mask> was born in 1819 to Dorcas and <mask> in York County, South Carolina. The elder <mask> was possibly born in Africa. He was stricken with a disease at age seven in 1826 which left him crippled.His disease left him described by some as a dwarf, and he described it as rheumatism, but it was probably polio. His disease may also have been muscular dystrophy, and crippled one arm and leg. As an adult, his legs remained extremely skinny, his arms were withered, and his jaw was deformed. While still young, <mask>'s father purchased the freedom of his wife, <mask>'s mother, for $150. <mask>'s master included the crippled boy in the transaction. The Hills were owned by a famous <mask> family, which included future Confederate general Daniel Harvey <mask>. As a boy, the white school children in York County taught <mask> to read and write.No one objected to having such a deformed child hanging around the school, and <mask>'s privileges were in part due to his condition, for which he was also ridiculed by the children. Daniel Harvey <mask> was among those who taught <mask> to read. <mask> was very intelligent and driven, and his intellectual possibilities were not noticed by the white community around him due to his condition. After the Civil War ended in 1865, <mask> worked as an ordained Baptist preacher moving from congregation to

He regularly held political meetings at his cabin and was a popular and powerful preacher, serving a congregation in Clay Hill, near Rock Hill, South Carolina.Lynchings of Jim Williams, <mask>, and June Moore

In February 1871, <mask> met with local Ku Klux Klan leaders to negotiate the safety of blacks in the community. These negotiations were not successful, and around February 12, eight black men were killed by 500 to 700 whites in black gowns with masks, and was followed by nightly Klan raids for months. After the Civil War, ex-slave and Union veteran Jim Williams returned to York County and began work with <mask> for the civil rights of blacks. Williams led a black militia group, one of what were known as Union Leagues. Some whites claimed Williams had threatened to kill local whites and that Williams' militia was stockpiling weapons. It was also claimed that Williams claimed to desire to rape white women if he could. On March 6, 1871, about forty men seized Williams from his home and hung him from a tree and shot him with many bullets.Local Ku Klux Klan leader J. Rufus Bratton, brother of William's former owner John S. Bratton, was said to have placed the noose around Williams' neck. Williams was subsequently brought to Bratton's office where Bratton, in his medical capacity, served the inquest. The mob visited several other homes of men involved in the Union League militia, succeeding in gathering 23 guns but no other members. Members of the league swore vengeance, but did not act. Companies B, E, and K of George Armstrong Custer's Seventh U.S. Cavalry led by Major Lewis Merrill arrived in the area to try to quell the violence, <mask> stepped in to lead the league, now in disarray. In another raid, <mask>'s nephews, <mask> and June Moore, were attacked and forced to

 renounce their Republican Party affiliation in the local paper, the Yorkville Enquirer. Assault on <mask>
On May 5, 1871, a masked neighbor came to <mask>'s brother's cabin, which was next door to <mask>'s own.The neighbor slapped <mask>'s sister in law, demanding to know where the "uppity" <mask> resided. Next, <mask> was dragged by his crippled arms and legs into the yard and beaten with a horsewhip. He was charged with denouncing the KKK, inciting a riot, and ravishing white women. They threatened to throw him in the river and told him to desist preaching against the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan also demanded <mask> denounce the Republican Party, as had his nephews, and to cancel his subscription to the Republican paper. This was the first episode of Ku Klux Klan violence Merrill saw in York County, and he was unable to step in to protect the black citizens of York County. Eight days after the attack, Merrill met with community leaders demanding change, although violence continued over the summer.Merrill's efforts eventually led to the dismantling of much of the Klan in the county, although Bratton, who ran away to Canada for a number of years to escape prosecution, was never successfully prosecuted. Emigration to Liberia
<mask> was afraid for his life and contacted Congressman Alexander S. Wallace and the American Colonization Society, seeking to escape the country. Along with 135 other blacks he moved to Liberia in October 1871. Before leaving, he testified before a congressional committee that emigration was the best solution: "We do not believe it is possible from the past history and present aspect of affairs, for our people to live in this country peaceably and educate and elevate their children to any degree which they desire." At least 21 of the 31 households which were part of the Clay Hill emigrant group either suffered Klan attacks or had near relatives in York County who had. "That is the reason we have

 arranged to go away," <mask> said. The congregation boarded the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad and traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, and then to Portsmouth, Virginia.They sailed to Liberia on the Edith Rose, a trip that included 243 regular passengers and two stowaways, all like <mask> former slaves, except for the youngest and a few freedmen. The group settled in Arthington, Liberia. Life in Liberia and death
Arthington had been founded in 1869 by Alonzo Hoggard and his congregation from Bertie County, North Carolina. In 1870, John Roulhac and his party arrived. In 1871, parties led by Jefferson Bracewell and <mask> arrived, and in 1872 another group led by Aaron Miller came. Conditions in Liberia were much worse than colonists had been told. Colonists believed that mortality and illness were low.However, as many as 20% of immigrants would die of malaria. And <mask> discovered when he arrived that the government was in "great disorder". Liberia's president, Edward James Roye, was overthrown in late 1871 in the wake of a financial scandal and was assassinated in early 1872. <mask> died of malaria on March 28, 1872, after only six months in Liberia. Legacy
The Clay Hill congregation remained in Arthington, and <mask> and Moore, run by <mask>'s nephews, became a major firm in Liberia and allowed the pair to endow a nearby Baptist institute. In Albion W. Tourgée's book, Bricks Without Straw, the character of Eliab <mask> was based in part on <mask>. The story of <mask> also inspired Katharine DuPre Lumpkin's novel Eli Hill, which was written in the 1950s and published in 2020 by University of Georgia Press.References
