After three years of scoring 22+ points a game in Golden State, Richmond, on November 1, 1991, was traded (along with Les Jepsen) to the Sacramento Kings during the 1991–92 season in exchange for the rights to Billy Owens, and became arguably the team's first star since the franchise moved to Sacramento in 1985. Staying with the Kings until 1998, <mask> was the team's leading scorer in each of his 7 seasons there, averaging no fewer than 21.9 points a game each season. Between 1993 and 1998, <mask> was a fixture on the Western Conference's All-Star team, and he won MVP honors at the All-Star Game in Phoenix, in 1995.

During his prime, <mask> was recognized as one of basketball's all-time best pure shooters.Washington Wizards (1998–2001)
Richmond was traded by the Kings, along with Otis Thorpe, to the Washington Wizards for Chris Webber in May 1998, a move that keyed the Kings' transformation from perennial doormat to an elite title contender. However, things did not work out as well for Richmond. In three years with the Wizards, he lost a lot of the shooting touch he displayed as a King, and his days as a regular were numbered after missing half of the 2000–01 season. Richmond's departure from Washington coincided with the Wizards signing

 well," wrote Ramesh Ponnuru in a 2007 article otherwise very critical of <mask> in National Review. According to Ponnuru, Bush's speechwriters had more prominence in the administration than their predecessors did under previous presidents because Bush's speeches did most of the work of defending the president's policies, since administration spokesmen and press conferences did not. On the other hand, he wrote, the speeches would announce new policies that were never implemented, making the speechwriting in some ways less influential than ever. On June 14, 2006, it was announced that <mask> was leaving the White House to pursue other writing and policy work. He was replaced as Bush's chief speechwriter by The Wall Street Journal chief editor William McGurn. Lines attributed to <mask>

 speechwriter David Frum but deemed too mild. Criticisms of <mask> as a speechwriter
In an article by Matthew Scully (one of Bush's speechwriters) published in The Atlantic (September 2007) <mask> is criticized for seeking the limelight, taking the credit for other people's work and for creating a false image of himself: "No good deed went unreported, and many things that never happened were reported as fact.For all of our chief speechwriter's finer qualities, the firm adherence to factual narrative is not a strong point." Of particular note is the invention of the phrase "axis of evil." Scully claims that the phrase "axis of hatred" was coined by David Frum and forwarded to colleagues by email. The word "hatred" was changed to "evil" by someone other than <mask> and was done because "hatred" seemed the more melodramatic word at the time. Scully also had this to say about <mask>:
My most vivid memory of Mike at Starbucks is one I have labored in vain to shake. We were working on a State of the Union address in John's (McConnell's) office when suddenly Mike was called away for an unspecified appointment, leaving us to 'keep going.' We learned only later, from a chance conversation with his secretary, where he had gone, and it was a piece of Washington self-promotion for the ages: At the precise moment when the State of the Union address was being drafted at the White House by John and me, Mike was off pretending to craft the State of the Union in longhand for the benefit of a reporter.The Washington Post columnist

<mask>  is an American educator known for his leadership at the American Indian Public Charter School (AIPCS) in Oakland, California and its expanded American Indian Model Schools system, serving from 2001 into 2012. He is a national leader in the education reform movement, emphasizing a conservative philosophy of discipline and accountability. From Robeson County, North Carolina, <mask> received a doctorate in education from the University of Arizona, was a tenure-track professor in 1988 at San Francisco State University, and he served as the superintendent of schools at the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona before working in Oakland. <mask> was appointed as the principal of AIPCS in 2000 when the school was "among the worst middle schools in Oakland, Calif" suffering from "highest dropout rate and lowest attendance and graduation rates of any ethnic group in the city". The school made considerable improvements under Dr. <mask> and was named in 2006, as one of the top 250 schools in the US. In 2008 it ranked fifth among all the 1300 odd middle schools in California in terms of academic performance index. Though the school made remarkable improvements under Chavis, at the same time this success attracted controversy primarily for the methods he used on the students to keep them performing well.In 2012, Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team submitted a report alleging Chavis being involved in mismanagement of school funds. After seven years of federal investigation, all financial mismanagement charges against <mask> were dropped in 2019. <mask> was featured in the documentary film Flunked (2008).

 died when he was young. His mother remarried.None of his parents had much formal education, but Chavis said his stepfather taught him discipline, how to work hard, and to be accountable, a philosophy he applied as an educator. Chavis attended local segregated public schools, where he was most interested in sports. He accepted a track scholarship by Oklahoma City University. Two years in, he was offered an academic scholarship by the University of Arizona, and transferred there, majoring in education. He thought at the time that the field would offer easy conditions. Chavis graduated with a bachelor's degree in education; he had worked part-time as a school janitor to help pay for it. He continued to study, working on a master's degree through night classes at Northern Arizona University.Later he completed a doctorate at the University of Arizona, in education, with what he said were concentrations in philosophy and anthropology. Career

In 1988, <mask> became a tenure-track professor in the ethnic studies department at San Francisco State University. In 2000, he was working as superintendent of schools at the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona. That year he was recruited by a representative of Oakland's Native American community for the position of principal at the struggling American Indian Public Charter School in Oakland, starting in 2001. By 2005, he had succeeded in dramatically raising scores of the middle school students and increasing enrollment at the school. <mask> had generated considerable controversy by his methods. He was criticized by some parents and faculty for harsh treatment and verbal abuse of students and teachers.<mask> zealously mocked liberal orthodoxy and was praised by conservatives such as columnist George Will and Andrew Coulson of the Cato Institute. The school claimed to be just as intolerant of unions as it was of drug dealers, and prided itself on firing under-performing teachers. He worked with the school's board in

While <mask> stepped down as head of the schools in summer 2007, the board asked him to serve in an executive, consulting role, and he was active in the schools' affairs. A K-4 elementary school was added to AIPCS II in 2012. During these years, the AIM system student body had a growing proportion of African American, Asian and Latino students, with American Indians comprising a smaller percentage. <mask> resigned all ties in January 2012.By the 2012 school year, some 90 percent of the AIMS students were ethnic Asian. Some critics of the system attributed the high scores of the system schools to the make-up of the student body, known for a culture that demanded high performance. Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called Chavis’s results an “education miracle.”

Reception

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said while his visit to Chavis's school on March 2006, "I have taken the tour [of American Indian Public Charter School], and I have to tell you from what I've seen I was really impressed.... It is an education miracle that has happened here.

Jay Mathews of Washington post has commented, "[Chavis] has many of the habits of some of the best educators I know - a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for shocking the conventionally wise, and a deep love of children, particularly those who have had difficult lives.", on his book Crazy Like a Fox; One Principal's Triumph in the Inner City.

California state "extraordinary audit"
<mask> resigned all ties at the school system in January 2012 and returned to North Carolina, where he had been resident again for some time. After the results of an "extraordinary audit" by the California financial management system were released later in 2012, <mask> was criticized for allegedly receiving more than $3.8 million in school funds for directing school payments to his and his wife's business without authorized contracts, from 2006 -2010. In addition, the board of the charter school system was criticized for lax accounting and financial mismanagement. Following the results of the audit and other investigations of <mask> related to treatment of students and faculty, in February 2013, OUSD revoked the school's charter. After <mask>' resignation, the school appealed the revocation and struggled for the next year to keep its charter. It gained a preliminary injunction from the Superior Court of Alameda County allowing it to continue to operate the three system schools. AIMS has since received a 5-year renewal of the charter.During the next 2 1/2 years, the charter school system paid Chavis an additional $8.6 million to lease buildings which he owned in Oakland, because it was unable to find other spaces for its operations. In North Carolina <mask> started a camp on his property to help students improve their math scores. It was modeled on the SAIL program used in California schools. In January 2017, he

He said he had encouraged the firing of Superintendent Tommy Lowray of the Public Schools of Robeson County and the effort by six board members to hire Virginia-based educator Thomas Graves. Lowry filed a lawsuit against the board charging they had violated their own hiring policy in trying to hire Graves. March 2017 Federal indictments
<mask> was indicted on March 30, 2017, by the federal government on six felony counts of money laundering and mail fraud; the case was filed in federal district court in San Francisco, California.The charges relate to his receiving federal grant money from 2006 to 2012 for the charter schools in Oakland, and his allegedly misusing the money in order to make lease payments on property he owned. The charges say that he benefited by $1.1 million on his transactions, as the schools made payments on property he owned, in what were illegal conflict-of-interest transactions. He was arrested and taken into custody in Wilmington, North Carolina. However, as of April 2019, all financial mismanagement charges against Chavis were dropped. <mask> has pleaded guilty to an unrelated charge. The federal sentencing memo issued by U.S. District Court of Oakland said “Dr. Chavis’ conduct, while a violation of federal law, did not cause measurable financial losses to the United States or another identifiable victim,” though he pleaded guilty for using false information in board's documents and thus was put on probation for a year and a financial fine of $100 was imposed.Books authored

In Cuba immigrants opened mom-and-pop shops, peddled, and gradually adopted Spanish while still speaking Yiddish, settling into Latino life in La Habana Vieja.

Suffering her grandfather's death while on a field trip to Spain to study funeral practices, she decided the ethnographer could never be fully detached, and needed to become a "vulnerable observer".She argues that the ethnographic fieldworker should identify and work though, his or her own emotional involvement with the subject under study. She strongly critiques conventional ideas of objectivity. She suggested that the ideal of a "scientific," distanced, impersonal mode of presenting materials was incomplete. Other anthropologists, including Claude Levi-Strauss, Georges Devereux, and Clifford Geertz, had also suggested that the researcher had to claim being part of the process more openly. <mask>'s six personal essays in The Vulnerable Observer are examples of her subjective approach. <mask>'s grandparents emigrated to Cuba from Russia,

Townspeople said the witch, Esperanza Hernandez, had used black magic to blind her ex-husband after he regularly beat her and then left her for his mistress. <mask>'s portrayal of Esperanza's story in Translated Woman suggests she alienated her own mother, inspiring <mask> to portray Esperanza as a feminist heroine. Esperanza claims she found redemption in a spiritualist cult constructed around Pancho Villa.She blamed pent-up rage about her husband and life as the reason for the deaths in infancy of the first six of her 12 children. Esperanza's rage led her to beat up her husband's lover, throw her son out of the house, beat a daughter for refusing to support her, and disown another son for having an affair with an uncle's ex-mistress because she considered it to be incestuous. <mask> reflects on her own life and begins to think that her Latina-gringa conflicts result from a feeling of loss after having tried to model herself according to the American Dream, thus losing some sense of her Cuban Jewish family's past in that island nation. Esperanza's odyssey examines physical borders, margins and separations. Translated Woman contributes to the feminist argument that studying women in anthropology has been undervalued due to traditional academic prejudices that view women-centered analysis as too personally biased.

In his youth, in the years of study at the Odessa Conservatory, <mask> was fond of polyphonic music, and even in those years learned to freely write mirror Canon (one of the music polyphonic forms), which can be played on the right to left and Vice versa. In his mature years he realized the full force of polyphonic thinking for composers and began a systematic study of creativity of the majority of composers that use polyphonic technology of writing, from Johann Sebastian Bach up to the creations of his contemporary Dmitry Shostakovich. As a result, in 1973, he created the fundamental work "The anthology of canon" M, 1973. A huge number of composers uses to this day in their creativity of his most popular repeatedly reprinted scientific creation "A practical guide to writing canon", Leningrad, 1959, 2nd edition in 1975.

texts:
Air Marshal <mask>Mary<mask>,  (19 January 1895 – presumably 30 January 1948) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force. During the First World War, he was at Gallipoli with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, was discharged in New Zealand as medically unfit for active service, and journeyed to Britain at his own expense to join the Royal Flying Corps, where he became a flying ace. <mask> was later a senior Royal Air Force commander during the Second World War, as Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief 2nd Tactical Air Force and subsequently the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Flying Training Command. <mask> is chiefly remembered as the person most responsible for the development of forward air control parties directing close air support, which he developed as commander of the Western Desert Air Force between 1941 and 1943, and as commander of the tactical air forces in the Normandy campaign in 1944. However he is frequently lauded as the "architect of modern air power doctrine regarding tactical air operations," based on three principles: necessity of air superiority as first priority, centralised command of air operations co-equal with ground leadership, and innovative tactics in support of ground operations. On 30 January 1948, he disappeared along with all the other passengers and crew of the airliner G-AHNP Star Tiger when it vanished without a trace somewhere off the eastern coast of the United States in the Bermuda Triangle. Early life
<mask> was born in Brisbane, Queensland, on 19 January 1895.His early life was one that made him learn to be adaptable. His father, also <mask>, was noted for playing Test cricket, but was by disposition a con man who was exposed in court for fabricating legal evidence in a trial designed to extort a Catholic priest, Denis Francis O'Haran, secretary to the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney. The resulting scandal drove the older <mask> to remove the <mask> family to New

 Zealand while <mask> was still young. The change of scene to New Zealand did not change the father's modus operandi; he spent six months imprisoned there for fraud. <mask> was resilient enough and sufficiently motivated to win a scholarship to Wellington College. Although <mask> had won a scholarship, he was not an academic star. However, he was athletic and an outdoorsman, with expertise in horsemanship and with firearms.His parents divorced when he was seventeen; grounds were his father's infidelity. <mask> was maturely assured enough to remark, "Look here, <mask>, you may be my father, but I am ashamed of you." The comment reflects <mask>'s persona; he was abstemious by nature, being a non-smoker, near teetotaler and impatient with obscene language. Military career

First World War service
<mask> volunteered for service in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in August 1914, initially seeing service in the conquest of German Samoa. He then served in Egypt and Somaliland as a trooper in the Canterbury Mounted Rifle Regiment, but developed typhoid fever and was invalided out of service in March 1916. In April, however, he betook himself to Britain and volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps. Posted to 32 Squadron on 19 December 1916 after completing his flying instruction, <mask> flew numerous patrols between 5 January and 30 July 1917, when he was wounded during an aerial combat and invalided back to Britain.During the Battle of Arras, 32 Squadron undertook systematic strafing of German infantry and lines of communication, particularly suited for the Airco DH.2 machines they operated. He returned to France promoted to the rank of Major and in command of 92 Squadron on 1 July 1918 at the age of 23. On 11 August he was wounded again in a particularly intense air combat, but remained in France and resumed flying almost immediately. Through to the end of the war, <mask>'s Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5s

 conducted bombing and strafing attacks against German aerodromes, troops, gun positions and transport. In 11 months at the front he engaged in 176 patrols over enemy lines, was credited with the personal destruction of nine enemy aircraft and shared in the destruction of three others with Evander Shapard, Frank Billinge and <mask>. He was also credited with seven victories for having driven down an enemy machine out of control. <mask> emerged from the war with two awards, a Distinguished Service Order and a Military Cross, both earned during his time with 32 Squadron.During that time he had also acquired the nickname "Mary," a corruption of "Maori" as a play on his earlier life in New Zealand. Inter-war years
After the end of the First World War, <mask> remained in the Royal Air Force, initially remaining as Officer Commanding 92 Squadron. During the early 1920s he served as a technical and flying instructor before being posted to 55 Squadron flying Airco DH.9As out of Mosul in Iraq. In the summer of 1923 <mask> was promoted to squadron leader and appointed as the Officer Commanding of 55 Squadron. From early 1924 to early 1926 <mask> carried out staff officer duties, first at the headquarters of Egyptian Group and then at the headquarters of RAF Middle East. While posted at Egypt Group, <mask> was assigned to lead a detachment of three DH.9As of 47 Squadron on a flight of  cross country to introduce the first aircraft to Nigeria while undertaking "a training exercise on an extended scale... using ordinary service equipment." Leaving Helwan near Cairo on the morning of 27 October 1925, the three aircraft reached Kano, Nigeria without serious incident on 1 November.The return trip, retracing their outward route, began early on 12 November and marked the first trip across Africa by air from west to east. They completed the estimated journey of  in 80 hours of actual flying time, flying on 16 of the 24 days

 of the mission, all without major difficulties. <mask> received an award of the Air Force Cross for the achievement. After further service at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell and the Central Flying School, <mask> was promoted to wing commander in 1931. The next year he was sent to the Sudan as the senior RAF officer, and while there, married Nancy Brooks Frank, widow of Sir Howard Frank in July 1932. On his return to Great Britain in 1935 he took up staff duties in Coastal Area/Coastal Command before being promoted to group captain on 1 January 1937 and serving as the Senior Air Staff Officer at the headquarters of No. 17 (Training) Group.From 1937 to 1939, <mask> was the Officer Commanding RAF Calshot, a flying boat base. Second World War service
<mask> began the war as an air commodore commanding Bomber Command's 4 Group, which he led for two years including the first year of the bombing offensive against Germany. His group was small, seldom numbering more than 60 air crews total in the first part of the war, and unlike the rest of Bomber Command conducted its operations at night. Consequently, nearly all of the missions of its Whitley bombers before 19/20 March 1940 were for the delivery of propaganda leaflets over German territory against comparatively ineffective defences. During the remainder of 1940, 4 Group attacked targets in Italy until these were allotted to 3 Group in December, and targets in the Ruhr, all of small scale and causing little damage. <mask> in September received promotion to air vice-marshal. In November, area bombing began, again on a small scale, and continued throughout the winter.4 Group was just beginning to expand and convert its equipment to Handley Page Halifax bombers when <mask> was transferred. In July 1941 he was called to Egypt by Air Marshal <mask>, head of RAF Middle East Command, to take over 204 Group from Air Vice-Marshal Raymond Collishaw. Two months

texts: later, to match its growing size and its status with the newly formed Eighth Army, the group was transformed into the Western Desert Air Force. <mask> inherited a poorly functioning situation, where the Royal Air Force was almost totally failing to support ground troops. He promptly delegated out technical duties to those he trusted and did not micromanage them; however, he held his subordinates strictly responsible for achieving the results he wanted. Any mistakes by his underlings that resulted in fatalities to friendly troops were grounds for dismissal by <mask>. Faced with equipment shortages, a hostile desert environment, and superior enemy planes, <mask>'s management system, through judicious deployment of his squadrons, gradually achieved air superiority in the North African campaign.In particular, <mask> developed the use of fighter-bombers, able to fight as fighter planes in the air or in bombing and strafing attacks of enemy ground targets. <mask> developed an efficient ground support system to keep planes flying, and a command and control system to allow ground observers to radio in air attacks. <mask>'s Western Desert Air Force, in continuous air attacks of enemy ground targets, was instrumental in stopping the enemy offensive at El Alamein in July 1942. <mask> formed a close relationship with the new commander of the British Eighth Army, General Bernard Montgomery. Montgomery and <mask> recognised the importance of joint operations. The air power doctrine devised by <mask> is the basis of modern joint operations doctrine. The dominance of the Allied air force was a critical factor in the British victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in November 1942.<mask>'s doctrine of tactical air power would reach its fruition in early 1943, when RAF and USAAF fighter-bombers and bombers attacked enemy land forces. <mask>'s doctrine was fundamental. He stated that the greatest attribute of air power

texts: was its ability to speedily concentrate its force. It followed that its command must also be concentrated. Tactical air power had to be closely coordinated with the ground forces, but the army could not command it. He stated as much in a pamphlet that was widely distributed, to every ranking officer in North Africa, so that they would know what to expect. The pamphlet included <mask>'s priorities for success in use of tactical air power.First, gain air superiority. Second, use the air superiority gained to interdict enemy reinforcements of men and materiel to isolate the battlefield. Third, combine air attacks with ground assaults on the front lines. <mask> was knighted after El Alamein and continued to provide tactical air support for the Eighth Army until they occupied Tripoli in January 1943. Later in 1943 <mask> was promoted to Air Marshal and directed tactical air force operations in the Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy as commander of the Northwest African Tactical Air Force. As the leading exponent of tactical air warfare, <mask> was the obvious choice to command 2nd Tactical Air Force in the North-West European campaign under Air Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, commanding the Allied Expeditionary Air Forces, and in January 1944 he was recalled to Britain where he helped plan air support for the Normandy landings. His relationship with Montgomery deteriorated markedly after the landings took place.The two often clashed when Montgomery regularly tried to bypass <mask>, who was the designated point of contact for air support requests, and deal directly with Leigh-Mallory. At the end of June, Montgomery lobbied Tedder, now deputy commander to U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower at Supreme Allied Headquarters, for <mask>'s removal after he criticised the army for tardiness in capturing Caen in order to make available airfields for tactical aircraft. Tedder, however, advised Eisenhower that such

 removal would be "a disaster" and the criticism valid. In August 1944 Montgomery wrote to Alan Brooke that "<mask> is violently anti-army and despised by all soldiers; my army commanders mistrust him and never want to see him." However it was Montgomery who received a rebuke from Eisenhower, while Leigh-Mallory's headquarters was dissolved in October as an unnecessary command echelon. He remained commander of the 2nd Tactical Air Force until July 1945, when he was replaced by Air Chief Marshal Sir Sholto Douglas and appointed head of Flying Training Command. A keen yachtsman, in 1947 he was appointed Commodore of the Royal Air Force Yacht Club then based at Calshot; however he later oversaw the move to the current location at Hamble.Retirement and disappearance
Viewing his appointment to Air Training Command as a demotion, <mask> chose to retire on 1 August 1947 after 30 years of commissioned service. He disappeared on 30 January 1948 when the airliner G-AHNP Star Tiger in which he was travelling to Bermuda was lost off the east coast of the United States. In popular culture
In the film Patton, <mask> is played by John Barrie. During his scene, in which General George S Patton is complaining about lack of air cover for American troops, Sir <mask> confirms to Patton that he will see no more German planes. As he has completed his sentence, German planes strafe the compound. Although a similar scene happened in real life, in actuality, <mask> was not present; Patton was talking to General Carl Spaatz and Air Chief Marshal <mask> at the time of the strafing. See also

In March 2015, after Northwestern University professor Peter Ludlow had been accused of sexual harassment, <mask> wrote an essay in the Chronicle of Higher Education in which she decried "sexual paranoia" on campuses and discussed professor-student sexual relationships and trigger warnings. The essay was later included in the Best American Essays of 2016, edited by Jonathan Franzen. A group of students at Northwestern protested <mask>'s piece, demanding that the administration reaffirm its commitment to the sexual harassment policies that <mask> criticized. In an opinion column for The Wall Street Journal, Northwestern University president Morton O. Schapiro referred to the protest and argued for maximum speech in such conflicted situations. Two students "took issue with the piece, saying <mask> was describing a real-life scenario and that her facts were off. They accused <mask> of retaliatory behavior and creating a hostile

 environment".They filed a complaint with Northwestern's Title IX office, arguing that her essay had a "chilling effect" on students' ability to report sexual harassment. The school opened an investigation into the case. <mask> discussed the charges and details of the investigation of those complaints in an essay titled "My Title IX Inquisition," noting that her faculty support person had also been brought up on Title IX complaints over public statements about her case. Northwestern eventually exonerated her. Title IX complaints were also filed against Northwestern's President Schapiro over his Wall Street Journal column. <mask>'s 2017 book, Unwanted Advances: Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus discusses the Ludlow case and argues that sexual harassment policies do not empower women but rather impede the fight for gender equality. One of the students who had brought the Title IX complaints against Ludlow initiated a lawsuit naming <mask> and her publisher, HarperCollins, alleging invasion of privacy and defamation.<mask> has publicly stated, "In case there’s any confusion, Unwanted Advances remains in print and I stand by everything in the book." Unwanted Advances was named one of the Wall Street Journal'''s ten best non-fiction books of 2017. Jennifer Senior wrote in the New York Times, “Few people have taken on the excesses of university culture with the brio that Kipnis has. Her anger gives her argument the energy of a live cable.”

If you look at the history of feminism, going back to the 19th century, you’ve got, on the one hand, the struggle for what I’d call civic rights: the right to employment, the right to vote, to enter politics and public life.On the other side, there’s the struggle for women to have autonomy over our own bodies, meaning access to birth control, activism around rape, outlawing marital rape, and the fight for abortion rights. What we’re seeing now is the incomplete successes in both of these areas converging. We’ve never entirely attained civic equality. We’ve never entirely attained autonomy over our bodies. Which is why the right not to be sexually harassed in the workplace is the next important frontier in equality for women. New York Review of Books controversy
