<mask><mask><mask>, born Solomon Regenstreif (1913–1992) was an American Communist business man, best remembered as one of the individuals spearheading a failed attempt at liberalization of the Communist Party USA in 1957. Background

Solomon Regenstreif, better known by the Anglo-Saxon name he later adopted, <mask>, was born in 1913 in New York City, the son of ethnic Jewish parents who hailed from Poland. Career

Active in the campaign to free the Scottsboro Boys, <mask> left college prior to graduation so that he could pursue his radical political activism. <mask> first worked with unemployed workers in Ohio, eventually running unsuccessfully for the city council of Youngstown. Spanish Civil War veteran

When the Spanish Civil War broke out, <mask> joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and fought in Spain. In March 1938, at the age of 24, <mask> rose to the rank of battalion political commissar of the Lincoln-Washington Battalion. In this capacity, <mask> gained a reputation as a strict disciplinarian.He later admitted he had gone somewhat overboard. In 1938, he was involved in the controversial decision to execute a deserter named Paul White who had left the lines before having a change of heart and returning, only to be executed for disciplinary reasons. The decision caused great dissension in the Lincoln Brigade's ranks, forcing the immediate declaration that no further executions would take place. Political career
Returning to the United States from Spain, <mask> became the head of the Young Communist League. The week after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, <mask> enlisted in the American armed forces. In the summer of 1948, <mask> was one of 12 "kingpin Commies" (to borrow a colorful contemporary turn of phrase

 from Time magazine) indicted under the Smith Act for being "dedicated to the Marxist–Leninist principles of the overthrow and destruction of the Government ... by force and violence." Although the Smith Act had been implemented eight years earlier at the time of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact for the altogether different purpose of fighting potential infiltration of America by secret Nazi and Communist saboteurs, at the height of the Cold War the existing law was used as a tool against national officials of the Communist Party.Prosecution of the ailing 67-year-old William Z. Foster was eventually dropped, but the 11 others, <mask> among them, were convicted in 1949 and sentenced to five years in prison. Following his release from prison in 1955, <mask> was appointed as editor of the Communist Party's newspaper, The Daily Worker. In that capacity, <mask>' editorial policy soon came to set him at odds with the Party leadership, he took liberal positions embracing Nikita Khrushchev's criticisms of Stalin and opposing the Soviet Union's suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Party leaders were particularly upset by his support of Howard Fast, a prominent writer who was quite critical of the Soviet Union and soon after also left the Communist Party. However, The Daily Worker was in deep trouble with significant losses in circulation due to a general disenchantment with communism, by both workers and intellectuals, and pressure from McCarthyism. Confronted with deep deficits and its inability to control <mask>, on December 22, 1957, the Party suspended publication of the paper as a daily, the last daily issue appearing January 13, 1958.Resignation

 effective force for democracy, peace, and socialism in the United States." He set to work writing his memoirs, The Story of an American Communist, tapping fellow ex-Communist pariah Earl Browder to write the book's introduction. In a January 18, 1958, television interview with Mike Wallace, <mask> attempted to illuminate his interlocutor on the nature of the power relationship between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the American Communist movement:    [Y]ou have to understand how and why [the CPUSA] followed [Moscow's] line. It's not a matter that someone gave orders over there and we followed it over here. It's much more subtle than that. We followed that line because we thought it was right. It's more or less like a relationship between two people.One is an aggressive, brilliant personality and the other worships that person, and that person becomes sort of an idol for him and he tends to imitate and ape everything that he does. Well that kind of relationship is a bad relationship for both people." <mask> cited the American Communist Party's failure to declare its independence from Moscow as decisive in his decision to leave the organization. Following publication of his memoirs, <mask> went to work as a senior research assistant for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). In this capacity, <mask> helped members with workers' compensation, unemployment, and Social Security claims. He retired from the union in 1987. Death
<mask> died on May 23, 1992 in  Miami Beach, Florida at the age of 78.He was survived by his wife of 47 years, the former Lillian Schwartz; a brother, Nat Regenstreif, of Hollywood, Florida, and three sisters, Blanche Smiles of the Bronx, Irene Travis of Charlotte, North Carolina, and

<mask> (born 1971) is an American former businessman and white-collar criminal. He was arrested January 26, 2009 on charges of an estimated $370–413 million Ponzi scheme. <mask> conducted the scheme using his company Agape World Inc. in Hauppauge, New York, which claimed to make its profits via commercial bridge lending. Authorities arrested him in Hicksville, New York. <mask> was arraigned in Islip, New York on January 27, 2009 on charges of mail fraud. <mask> had previously been convicted of felony fraud in 1999, and had served his sentence of 21 months in prison for the offense. On October 14, 2011, <mask> was sentenced to 25 years in prison.It has been reported that his crimes represent the 8th largest financial fraud in history, since the first documented flimflam in 1719 involving Scotsman John Law. Agape World
Prosecutors stated that <mask> used $212,000 in Agape funds to pay restitution from the 1999 federal mail fraud conviction. Prosecutors were able to trace only $10 million of bridge loans that were made. $80 million to $100 million was allegedly lost in commodity-futures trading and $55 to $63 million of investors' funds went to pay the broker's commissions. The complaint against Agape World stated that many of the employees had criminal records. Postal inspectors said Cosmo paid the brokers, some of whom were ex-convicts with records that included robbery and heroin importation, to recruit investors. One of the largest assets of Agape World was an indoor athletic complex purchased for $3.85 million.The complex was sold via auction in June 2009 to a

In October 2009, a federal judge found that <mask> couldn't be trusted and ended his house arrest after less than three months and returned him to jail to await trial. U.S. District Judge Denis R. Hurley, at a hearing in Central Islip, New York, ordered that <mask> be jailed pending trial after prosecutors alleged he used a computer and tried to transfer assets in violation of his bail conditions and provided false statements to a U.S. Pretrial Services officer. <mask> pleads guilty to $413 million Ponzi scheme

He captained Ireland from 2003 until 2012, and captained the British & Irish Lions for their 2005 tour of New Zealand. He is regarded by critics as one of the greatest rugby players of all time. O'Driscoll is the fourth most-capped player in rugby union history, having played 141 test matches: 133 for Ireland (83 as captain), and 8 for the Lions. He scored 46 tries for Ireland and 1 try for the Lions in 2001, making him the highest try scorer of all time in Irish Rugby. He is the 8th-highest try scorer in international rugby union history, and the highest scoring centre of all time.O'Driscoll holds the Six Nations record for most tries scored with 26. He has scored the most Heineken Cup tries (30) by an Irishman. O'Driscoll was chosen as Player of the Tournament in the 2006, 2007 and 2009 Six Nations Championships. He was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame on 17 November 2016 at the opening ceremony for the Hall's first location in Rugby, Warwickshire. O'Driscoll was involved in Irish Rugby's unsuccessful bid to host the 2023 World Cup. He now works as a rugby analyst for BT Sport and ITV Sport in the United Kingdom.

texts: both physicians. O'Driscoll's family was steeped in rugby. His father, Frank, played two games for Ireland and a cousin of his father, Barry, won four caps. However it was another cousin of Frank's, Barry's brother John, who really put the O'Driscoll name on the map: he represented Ireland 26 times and was a member of the Lions side that toured 1980 British Lions tour to South Africa and 1983 British Lions tour to New Zealand. As a child, <mask> played Gaelic football before switching to rugby. For his secondary education, he attended Blackrock College, where he played in the Senior Cup team in 1996 and 1997 after coming up through the ranks from the lower-level teams. Although O'Driscoll started the first two rounds of the competition in 1996, he was subsequently dropped to the bench for the remainder of the competition, and was an unused replacement in the team's victorious final appearance, in which Leo Cullen and Bob Casey were the second row.In 1997 they were beaten in the quarter-final by Clongowes, who had Gordon D'Arcy in their side. He was capped three times for Ireland Schools in 1996. In 1998, O'Driscoll played for the Ireland U-19 side, which won the Under 19 Rugby World Championship. After leaving school, he attended UCD on a scholarship. At UCD, he first made the under-20 side, before being promoted to the top team near the end of his first year. After two years, O'Driscoll graduated from UCD with a diploma in sports management. While at UCD, his coach John McClean moved O'Driscoll from

He was forced to withdraw from the tour on 30 June before the third and final test due to a head injury and subsequent concussion he suffered in the second test. On 30 April 2013, O'Driscoll was named in the squad for his fourth British & Irish Lions tour.O'Driscoll is only the third player in 125 years of the tournament to achieve this. The tour commenced on Saturday 1 June 2013 when the Lions beat the Barbarians at the Hong Kong Stadium. He was selected at outside centre for the first two tests of the tour. He was controversially dropped from the squad for the final test, which the Lions won by 41 points to 16. Barbarians

He was disqualified at the restoration of the monarchy from holding any public office. Early life
<mask> was son of <mask> of Kettering or Grafton, Northamptonshire, and Catherine his wife, was born about 1593. He seems to have been apprenticed at an early age to one John Kendrick, who died in 1624, and left him a legacy of £100. Packe married a kinswoman of his master Kendrick, set up in business in the woollen trade on his own account, and soon amassed a large fortune. He was an influential member of the Drapers' Company, of which he became a freeman, and he served the office of master in 1648. On 9 October 1646, by an ordinance of parliament, he was appointed a trustee for applying the bishops' lands to the use of the Commonwealth.Political career
His connection with municipal affairs began on 4 October 1647, when he was elected alderman of Cripplegate ward. On midsummer day 1649 he was chosen one of the sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and on 2 October following was elected alderman of Cornhill, but declined to desert

The council also appointed him one of the committee of trade on 12 July, and he was knighted by Oliver Cromwell at Whitehall on 20 September. On 31 October he was made an admiralty commissioner. <mask> was also chosen with others on 15 November 1650 to meet the committee of council appointed to consider the proposals of Manasseh Ben-Israel on behalf of the Jews. On 25 March 1656 he was appointed one of the commissioners for securing peace in the city of London. In the following August Packe was presented by the hackney coachmen with a piece of plate to support them in keeping out the parliamentary soldiers who were then seeking civil employment as coachmen among other jobs. The sum of £16,000 was still due to the state from Packe and his fellow commissioners of customs, and, after several petitions and inquiries by the treasury, Packe and two others were discharged from a share in the obligation, but Alderman Avery and Richard Bateman were not acquitted.In September 1657 Packe appears as one of the committee of Parliament for farming the customs, and on 25 March he was made, with Sir Thomas

Although was agreed to by the House of Commons, Cromwell turned down the offer to become king possibly due to the pressure placed upon him by republicans in the army and Parliament. Instead a modified Humble Petition and Advice was accepted with Cromwell keeping the title of Lord Protector and able to nominate his successor, the creation of a second parliamentary chamber and triennial parliaments. <mask>, with another city alderman, Robert Titchborne, was a member of the new House of Lords early in 1658.

But he was included by the commons (13 June 1660) in a list of twenty persons who were to be excepted from the act of general pardon, and to suffer certain penalties, not extending to life, to be determined by a future act of parliament. This clause was thrown out by the Lords on 1 August; but on the next day they resolved that sixteen persons, among whom Packe was included, should be disqualified from holding in future any public office or employment under penalty of being excepted from the act of pardon. Packe was accordingly, with six other Commonwealth lord mayors, removed from the office of alderman, his last attendance at the court of aldermen being on 7 August 1660. His interest at court, however, nearly availed him to procure a baronetcy for <mask>, his younger son, a grant for which was issued on 29 March 1666; but, for some unknown cause, the title was not actually conferred. Packe's city residence was in Basinghall Street, immediately adjoining Blackwell Hall, the headquarters of the woollen trade.He also had a suburban house at Mortlake. On 2 March 1649 – 1650 the lease of the manor of Prestwold in Leicestershire was assigned to him by the corporation, who held it in trust for the orphan children of John Acton. Shortly afterwards this manor, with the neighbouring one of Cotes, was assigned to him by Sir Henry Skipwith, the stepfather

He also purchased on 19 January 1648 – 1649, for £8,1741. 16s. 6d., the manor of the bishops of Lincoln at Buckden in Huntingdonshire, which was for some time his occasional residence.Packe died on 27 May 1682, and was buried in Prestwold church, Leicestershire, where there is a fine monument to his memory on the north wall of the chancel. The Latin inscription states that he was about eighty-four years old at his death. Family
Packe married three times: first, to Jane, daughter of Thomas Newman of Newbury, merchant draper, by Ann, daughter of John Kendrick, who was mayor of Reading in 1565; secondly, to Anne, eldest daughter of Simon Edmonds, alderman of London; and thirdly, to Elizabeth (born Richards), widow of Alderman Herring.

 principally a television play-by-play announcer on NBC Sports Bay Area, <mask> also shares radio play-by-play duties with Dave Flemming on KNBR when the Giants television broadcast is carried over-the-air on KNTV and Jon Miller handles the television play-by-play. He also fills in on the radio side when Flemming is unable to announce games due to his second job as an ESPN college football and basketball announcer. During Giants post-season play, <mask> and broadcast partner Mike Krukow move over to the radio side and call games with Miller and Flemming while the television broadcasts are handled by network sportscasters.Kruk and Kuip can be heard in the Electronic Arts video games MVP Baseball 2003, MVP Baseball 2004, and MVP Baseball 2005. In December 2010, both <mask> and Krukow signed six-year extensions to continue as Giants announcers. Commentating style

<mask> uses a deep voice when a player swings and misses, when a dramatic play is made, and when he calls home runs. <mask> is noted for his distinctive calls beginning and ending each game: after the result of the first batter of the game, he says, "And that's how this game gets started"; when the ball game is over, <mask> says, "And that's the ball game!" When <mask> states the pitch count on a batter, he often calls "nothing" in lieu of calling "a ball" and the current number of strikes when the count is "no balls". <mask> often uses the phrase "Got 'em!" when an out is recorded.His trademark home run call is "He hits it high... hits it deep... it is (or this baby is) OUTTA HERE!" or "HIGH DRIVE... LEFT (or RIGHT) FIELD... IT IS (sometimes: THIS BABY IS) OUTTA HERE!" Another popular home run saying, "THAT ONE'S HIGH, AND DEEP, AND... GONE! A HOME RUN!" In April 2010, <mask> coined a new slogan from a fan's sign for

He emerged as Calgary's starting goaltender in 2008–09; his 45 wins for the Hitmen broke the team record of 39. He led the league in wins, finished tied for the league lead in shutouts (7) and finished third in goals against average (2.08).

Following the season, he was named a Second Team All-Star in the Eastern Conference.During the 2009–10 season with the Hitmen, <mask> finished with a league-best GAA of 2.21 and was named a First Team All-Star in the Eastern Conference. In advance of his second consecutive appearance in the championship series, the league named him the winner of the Del Wilson Trophy as the WHL's top goaltender. During the season, he surpassed Spence's team record for career wins, and his 16 career shutouts are also a franchise record. Professional

As the backup for the Kings, he did not get into game action for three weeks. <mask> made his NHL debut on December 3 and earned a 3–2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. He stopped all nine shooters he faced in a shootout to secure his first NHL win. <mask> won his second NHL start and made 16 saves to record his first NHL shutout four nights later against the New York Islanders. He shut out the Montreal Canadiens in his next game, making him the first Kings goaltender to do so, and the second Los Angeles rookie to record consecutive shutouts, matching Gerry Desjardins, who did it in 1968–69. <mask> then found himself a full-time NHL goaltender for the first time after backup Ben Scrivens was traded to Edmonton, making <mask> the team's primary backup to starter Quick.San Jose Sharks
On June 26, 2015, <mask>, set to become a restricted free agent on July 1, was traded to the Boston Bruins, along with Colin Miller and a first-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft (13th overall, Jakub Zboril), in exchange for forward Milan Lucic. In turn, the Bruins traded <mask> to the San Jose Sharks on June 30 in exchange for Sean Kuraly and a 2016 first-round pick. The Sharks signed him to a three-year contract worth $9 million. Having his first season as a starting goaltender, <mask> had 65 games in 2015–16 with the Sharks, finishing with a 2.27 goal-against average, .918 save percentage, and the second most shutouts in the regular season with six, next to Chicago Blackhawks netminder Corey Crawford with seven. <mask> then helped the Sharks reach their first Stanley

On December 11, 2019, the Sharks fired DeBoer in favor of Bob Boughner, who wanted to give Dell more playing time. By the new year, <mask> was rarely starting in goal for San Jose: between January 1 and February 13, he started only three games, during which he went 0-2-1 with 4.32 GAA and a .857 save percentage. He seemed to improve afterwards, going 4-4-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .927 save percentage in his last eight games before the NHL season was indefinitely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the NHL announced that it would not finish the regular season, but would immediately begin the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs using the 24 highest-ranked teams in the league, the Sharks, who had the worst record in the Western Conference, were not invited to the postseason. Because the  season was condensed into 56 games due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Sharks began with a stretch of eight games in 15 days, Boughner chose to platoon <mask> and Devan Dubnyk to prevent either goaltender from overexertion. On February 11, however, an unspecified injury to Dubnyk forced <mask> to take over as the primary goaltender for San Jose, with rookie Alexei Melnichuk called up from the AHL as his backup.After struggling in his first 12 starts, with a 6–5–1 record, 3.85 GAA, and .877 save percentage,

By May, the Sharks, who had already been eliminated from playoff contention, were no longer starting <mask> in goal, preferring to use Melnichuk and Josef Kořenář instead. <mask> played 34 games in the 2020–21 season, during which he went 15–3–4 with a 3.28 GAA, .896 SV%, and one shutout. On July 27, 2021, the Sharks bought out the remaining three years of his contract, allowing <mask> to become an unrestricted free agent. Philadelphia Flyers
A day later, on the opening of free agency, <mask> was signed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. International play

<mask> was invited to participate in the Canadian junior team's summer camp, and earned a spot on the team as the backup to Jake Allen for the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.He started one preliminary round game against Slovakia, winning 8–2, and relieved Allen in the gold medal game against the Americans, though Canada lost the game in overtime and ended the tournament with the silver medal.

He ran three races the rest of that season for his father, his best finish seventeenth at Dover.In 2003, he began the season with his father's team, before he was hired by Dale Earnhardt Jr. to drive his No. 81 Chance 2 Motorsports Chevy. He made his debut with Chance 2 at Richmond International Raceway, where he qualified sixth and led 11 laps before transmission failure forced him to a 31st-place finish. He split time between Chance 2 and his father's team for the balance of the season, except at Dover, where he drove for Stanton Barrett. He had a sixth-place run at Bristol Motor Speedway, and ended the season with two consecutive second-place finishes. He ran a total of ten races that season. Truex raced full-time for Chance 2 in 2004.At Bristol Motor Speedway, he would earn his first career victory, and he would later add three more victories over the next seven races. This would include a victory at Talladega Superspeedway which broke his car owner's streak of winning restrictor plate races in the Busch Series, and a victory at the final NASCAR event held at Nazareth Speedway. He took the lead in the championship after Nazareth but lost it to rookie Kyle Busch a few races later. However, a series of Top 5's and Top 10's in the second half of the season would allow <mask> to pull away from Busch, clinching the Busch Series championship with a race to spare.

At the beginning of the 2009 season, Dale Earnhardt, Inc. merged into Chip Ganassi Racing and was renamed Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. The move was in effect a closing of DEI, and Truex's No.1 moved to Ganassi to replace the defunct No. 41 of Reed Sorenson. <mask> began the year by winning the pole for the Daytona 500. Later in the season, <mask> had claimed two more pole positions at Atlanta and Phoenix, following his first pole since 2007 at Texas. 2009 would be <mask> Jr.'s lone season with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, as he departed following the season and was replaced by Jamie McMurray. 2010–2013: Michael Waltrip Racing

He said the wreck was the hardest of his career and both <mask> and Kahne were released with normal symptoms. The next week officials told him his wreck was the hardest crash at Martinsville. <mask> won another pole at Dover International Raceway.<mask> ran well in most of the races but often struggled to finish the races off. He was docked 25 points because of a windshield violation in the fall Talladega race. He ended the season 18th in points, with three Top 5's and 12 top 10's. 2012

The highlight of the season was at Sonoma, when <mask> broke a 218 race winless streak, starting 14th on the starting grid and working his way up to win by over eight seconds over Jeff Gordon.<mask>'s 218-race winless streak is second only to Bill Elliott, who went winless in 226 races between 1994 and 2001. It is only the second time a car numbered No. 56 won in NASCAR's highest division, the first being Jim Hurtubise in a 1966 Atlanta race.

At Atlanta, despite nursing a broken wrist, Truex finished third to Kyle Busch and Joey Logano. In the final regular-season race at Richmond, Truex was in the midst of a fierce battle for the final Wildcard spot, eventually coming out over Ryan Newman by a tiebreaker. As Newman and Truex each had one win, the Wildcard spot went to Truex, for having a better number of top-five finishes than Newman; however on Monday evening, it was announced that due to MWR having attempted to manipulate the results of the race, points penalties were assessed – 50 points for <mask>, Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers each – that resulted in Truex being bumped from the Chase and Newman and Jeff Gordon being added to the Chase field, as well as probation for all 3 crew chiefs,

His only poor finish during this period was a 29th-place finish at Bristol, seven laps down, after being swept up in a late-race accident. At Kansas, <mask> led the most laps (95), but a late caution killed his chances as he slipped back to 9th on the last restart, and he was unable to make up enough ground to catch Jimmie Johnson.At the Coca-Cola 600, <mask> led the most laps (131 of 400), but with 20 laps to go, he had to make a late-race fuel stop and finished 5th. At Dover, <mask> led the most laps again (131 of 405), but a poor restart caused him to slide back to seventh and cost him the race to Johnson. At Pocono, <mask> started third, and ran up front for most of the race, leading 97 of 160 laps. On the last restart, he managed to pull away to a 1.8-second lead on Kevin Harvick to take the checkered flag in first place. For <mask>, this snapped a 69 race winless streak and was also the fourth straight points race in which he led the most laps.

<mask> started the 2017 season off by winning the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This was Toyota's first win of the season with the new 2018 Camry and <mask>'s first career win at Las Vegas. He also became the first driver to win all three stages of the new stage format that was introduced for 2017. At Kansas in May 2017, <mask> started 4th. The race was primarily a duel between him and Ryan Blaney.<mask> held off Blaney, Kevin Harvick, and a hard-charging Brad Keselowski on three restarts to win the race. At Charlotte, he led the most laps once again, becoming only the second man to lead the most laps in three straight Coca-Cola 600 races, yet only winning one. He tied Darrell Waltrip's record. At Michigan, he won 2 more stage wins, becoming the first and fastest person to ever win 10 stage wins, where nobody else has won more than four, or any other team's combined stage wins. In July, <mask> captured his third win of the season, dominating the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. He again won all three stages, leading 152 of 267 laps. With two laps to go, <mask> had a 14-second lead before a late caution set up an overtime finish.Despite each of the other seven cars behind him pitting during the caution, <mask> held off Kyle Busch and

After finishing 2nd in the first two segments of the race, <mask> took the lead with 36 laps to go from Brad Keselowski but relinquished the top two spots to Keselowski and Ryan Blaney to save fuel. The strategy paid off, as Keselowski went to pit road with five laps remaining, while Blaney went one lap later, giving <mask> the lead. He was able to make it to the finish, holding off Matt Kenseth as he was running out of fuel for his second career road course victory. It was an emotional win for the #78 team, as Pollex returned to victory lane with <mask> after missing the Kentucky win due to a cancer recurrence, while his crew chief Cole Pearn helped earn the win while coping with the loss of his best friend, Jacob Damen. Two races later at the 2017 Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, <mask> had a chance to clinch the first regular-season title in NASCAR history if he left with a points lead of 120 points or greater.However, <mask> struggled during the early stages of the race and finished 21st

Following an off-week, <mask> raced in the Bojangles Southern 500 at Darlington with another chance to wrap up the regular season crown a week before the finale at Richmond. In stage one, <mask> ran down Kyle Larson with under a lap to go to win his 16th stage of the year. The exciting finish earned him his 35th playoff point of the season. After

The stage win also clinched <mask> the regular-season championship and the additional 15 playoff points that go with the title. <mask> seemed to have optimal timing again near the finish, springing to the lead shortly after the final exchange of pit stops in the closing 102-lap run of green-flag racing. However, Denny Hamlin gradually chopped into the lead, setting up a potential classic contest for the lead.With three laps to go, <mask>'s tire gave way, allowing Hamlin to scoot by and grab his second win of the season. Despite this, <mask> clinched the regular-season championship. Before being awarded the regular-season championship at Richmond, <mask> dominated the Federated Auto Parts 400 leading 50% of the race. However, his race derailed when Denny Hamlin wrecked him on the final restart. <mask>, though clinching the regular-season championship, expressed discontent with the 1990 Daytona 500 champion, Derrike Cope who caused a caution that changed the outcome of the race, leading up to the wreck.

To start the Round of 12, <mask> scored his 6th win of the season at Charlotte after leading 91 out of 334 laps to secure a spot for the Round of 8. Just two weeks later, he scored another win at Kansas despite having a restart violation early in the race, that win extends his active win streak in 1.5-mile tracks to 4, a NASCAR record. The next week, <mask> came second to Kevin Harvick in Texas Fall race, snapping the streak at the final 1.5. mile track race in the season. After the Texas Chase race, <mask> made the final four in the playoffs by points. He ultimately won the final race at Miami, becoming the 2017 champion, and won 19 of 108 stages, capping off one of the most dominant seasons in recent history.2018

<mask> started off the season with an 18th-place finish at the 2018 Daytona 500, after being caught up in a late-race wreck. For the next few weeks, <mask> picked up top-five finishes for the next five straight races, including two poles, and a win at California. He continued this consistency with wins at Pocono, Sonoma, and Kentucky and 15 top-fives during the regular season. <mask> added four top-five finishes during the Playoffs and made the Championship 4 for the second year in a row.

2019

Truex started his first season with JGR with a 35th-place finish at the 2019 Daytona 500, but he made up for that loss with five straight top-10s and two top-20s before scoring four wins at Richmond (his first Cup win on a short track), Dover, Charlotte, and Sonoma. He began the 2019 playoffs by winning the first two races at Las Vegas and Richmond (his first back-to-back career victories and season "sweep" at Richmond) and advancing to the Round of 12 after finishing seventh at the Charlotte Roval. During the Round of 8, <mask> won at Martinsville to secure his position in the Championship 4. At the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Truex dominated the first half of the race, winning the first stage and leading into green flag pit stops at the midpoint of stage 2. However, the race and championship hope unraveled due to a miscue during the pit stop, in which the left and right front tires were switched around, and installed to the incorrect sides.The pit road error forced an unscheduled stop and rendered <mask> a lap down for much of the second stage. He recovered and began to rally back through the field, but could not overcome the loss of track position, ultimately finishing second in the race to teammate Kyle Busch and the final championship standings for the second season in a row. <mask> led the series in victories with seven. <mask> was also the first driver to lead the series in wins after switching to a new team since Matt Kenseth in 2013, who also did it with Joe Gibbs Racing.

 Contribution
The starting point of <mask>'s theory is the concept of learning. "By learning we mean those changes that occur within the agents as a result of the interaction itself, provided that such changes will influence the next interaction." From this definition, <mask> distinguishes three types of agents, which he denominates:
 Stable agent (or stable system): the agent cannot change their decision rules. In other words, no learning takes place. Ultra-stable agent (or ultra-stable system): the agent can learn from the experience and, therefore, modify their decision rules. This learning is always positive and thus, with more experience, better decisions can be made.Freely adaptable agent (or free system): the agent can learn from the experience, but learning is not necessarily positive. Hence the agent has also the possibility of a negative learning. Interactions
In an interaction between learning agents, <mask> finds three types of results. Extrinsic Results: The interaction itself. Intrinsic Results: Learning (changing the decision rule) of the active agent, which occurred when performing the interaction. External Results: Learning of the reactive agent. When invited to discuss any business decision that would affect other people, he would ask: What results will I get?What am I going to learn, both from an operational and structural point of view? What will the other person learn with the same dimensions? “When you go deep into the study of  the action, you conclude that  results are not only external but they have repercussions on the agent, increasing or decreasing the personal richness he has at the moment of putting it to practice. That is why, what is called the double result of the action goes farther away from the unilateralism of pragmatism. The internal result of the action is more important than its

 external consequences, as it modifies the subject´s capacity for the execution of ulterior actions. That peculiar feedback is absolutely absent in the mechanicist interpretation of  action… Perez Lopez does not exactly elaborate a theory of isolated action, or of a single subject, but what I will call a theory of reciprocal action; that is, about the repercussions that the actions of one agent have in the actions of other agents”. Motivations and motives
<mask> assumes that agents have an impulse that is a potential motivation to achieve a higher satisfaction.This potential motivation becomes an actual motivation with a particular decision depending on two types of motivation. A spontaneous motivation,  which is based on the expected satisfaction (through memory) of what an interaction will produce. A rational motivation, which is an "abstract recognition of the desirability of implementing or not an action on the basis of the abstract evaluation a priori to its consequences." To control the momentum of spontaneous motivation to implement the advice of rational motivation, we need a reality that is called virtue. The consequences of action are grouped in three types of motives. Extrinsic motives: Aspects of reality that determine the achievement of satisfactions that result from the interactions. Intrinsic motives: Aspects of reality that determine the achievement of decision-maker's own learning.Transcendent motives: Aspects of reality that determine the achievement of learning from other people with whom the decision-maker interacts. Negative learning
"It's a learning process that facilitates the achievement of results, when that achievement in itself involves the destruction of the conditions necessary to continue catching up." The negative learning has the following basic features. It seeks to solve a partial problem,


title: Juan Antonio Pérez López

texts:
 without considering the general problem, which the partial problem is part of. The solutions found to the partial problem are suboptimal from the standpoint of the general problem. Successive resolutions of the partial problem generate learning, and therefore an increased motivation to make choices suboptimal from the standpoint of the general problem. The general problem becomes more difficult to resolve.An example would be "an amateur sportsman who practices without the guidance of an expert. What is most probable is that he will develop habits that will be counterproductive for the proper practice of such sport". Not considering external results (learning of reactive agents) in the analysis of an action always produce negative learning. Publications

Born 20 August 1977 in Buenos Aires, <mask> started playing rugby for his secondary school Colegio Cardenal Newman, and then for Club Newman in Buenos Aires.In 2003 he joined Leinster from Bristol on a four-year contract following Bristol's relegation in the 2002–03 Zurich Premiership. He played a major role in Leinster's run in the 2005–06 Heineken Cup, helping Leinster to a 41–35 win over Cup holders Toulouse, scoring 21 points in the process and winning the man of the match award. That year he was top scorer in both the 2005–06 Celtic League and the Heineken Cup. In late January 2006, <mask>'s former girlfriend, Paula, gave birth to their daughter, Catalina.

 origin was County Carlow Co Carlow Football Club, a provincial side which later got into financial difficulties and is now a minor Junior concern. On 12 March 2009, it was announced that <mask> would be leaving Leinster at the end of the season, and that he had signed a 4-year deal to join French side RC Toulon from the 2009–10 Top 14 season. <mask> played a role in the Leinster win over Munster in the Heineken Cup semi-final on 2 May 2009. After scoring a drop goal after 15 minutes in, he was helped off the pitch after suffering a knee injury half an hour in. An MRI scan confirmed he tore his anterior cruciate ligament and was expected to be out of action for 6 months post-op.Almost exactly on schedule, he made his Toulon debut on 21 November against Brive, coming off the bench and scoring a penalty in Toulon's 19–10 win. <mask> left RC Toulon to take the fly-half position at Stade Français in time for the 2011–12 season. International career
<mask> was one of the stars of world rugby and was also set to lead the Argentina national team into a new era after being named captain in 2008. The former U19, U21 and Sevens international made his Pumas debut against Chile in 1998 and has been an integral part of Argentinean rugby ever since. The multi-talented <mask> made his international break-through at fly-half and while he has played much of his rugby in that position he recently has found his place at inside centre with Juan Martin Hernandez preferred at No.10. He was named in José Luis Imhoff and Alex Wyllie's squad for the 1999 Rugby World Cup squad, where the Pumas made the quarter-finals for the first time. Marcelo Loffreda took charge of the national side in 2000 and <mask> retained his place, eventually nailing down a starting berth 2001.He notably notched a full house on his way to 25 points

He was also part of the 2003 Rugby World Cup squad, featuring in three of the Pumas' pool games as they were forced to play four games in a fortnight. In 2004, <mask> weighed in with 14 points as Argentina condemned France to their first defeat at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. He also faced the British & Irish Lions in 2005 and at the end of 2006 he was part of the Pumas side that scored their first ever victory over England at Twickenham. The Pumas stunned the rugby world with an inspired performance at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France. <mask> was a key player throughout the campaign – featuring in all seven matches as the Pumas claimed third place in the sport's global showpiece. He was the second highest points scorer in the tournament – notably kicking four penalties in the shock opening victory over hosts France and 11 points in both the pool victory over Ireland and the quarter-final against Scotland.<mask> was nominated by the IRB as one of five candidates for the 2007 International Player of the Year award, which was won by Bryan Habana. Following the retirement of veteran scrum-half Agustín Pichot, <mask> was handed the captaincy of the Pumas in 2008 by new coach Santiago Phelan ahead of the opening clash of the year against Scotland. A knee injury suffered in Leinster's Heineken Cup semi-final victory over Munster in 2009 ruled him out of action for over a year but he returned to Pumas colours in 2010 and won a 31-point haul in their 41–13 victory over Six Nations champions France.

<mask> (born <mask>; 13 January 1961) was convicted of the 1985 White House Farm murders in Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex, in which the victims included <mask>'s parents, Nevill and <mask>; his sister, Sheila Caffell; and his sister's six-year-old twin sons Daniel and Nicholas Caffell. Returning a majority verdict, the jury found that, after committing the murders to secure a large inheritance, <mask> had placed the rifle in the hands of his 28-year-old sister, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, to make the scene appear to be a murder–suicide. <mask> is serving life imprisonment under a whole life tariff. He has repeatedly applied unsuccessfully to have his conviction overturned or his whole life tariff removed; his extended family remains convinced of his guilt. The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) referred the case to the Court of Appeal in 2001, which upheld the conviction in 2002. The appeal was rejected and the CCRC rejected further applications from <mask> in 2004 and 2012, with the commission stating in 2012 that it had not identified any new evidence or legal argument capable of raising a real possibility that his conviction would be quashed. Early life

 biological parents were told by reporters that <mask> was their son. They were by then married to each other and working at Buckingham Palace. The Bambers were wealthy farmers who lived in a large Georgian house at White House Farm, near Tolleshunt D'Arcy in Essex. Nevill was a local magistrate and former RAF pilot. In 1957, four years before adopting <mask>, the couple had adopted a baby girl, Sheila.<mask> attended St Nicholas Primary, followed by Maldon Court, a private prep school. In September 1970 he was sent to Gresham's School, a boarding school in Holt, Norfolk. <mask> left Gresham's with no qualifications, much to Nevill's anger, but managed to pass seven O-levels at sixth form college in Colchester, which he left in 1978. Brett Collins, a former close friend of <mask>'s, claims <mask> was sexually assaulted when he was 11. According to Collins, <mask> went on to have sexual relationships with men and women, finding that his good looks and charm made him popular with both. Work
After leaving school Nevill financed a trip for <mask> to Australia, where he took a scuba diving course, and to New Zealand. In New Zealand, according to Collins, <mask> was "ripped off" by a would-be heroin dealer in Auckland.<mask> reportedly boasted of smuggling heroin overseas and broke into a jewellery shop to steal two expensive watches, one of which he gave to a girlfriend in the UK. One of <mask>'s cousins claimed that he ended up leaving New Zealand in a hurry after friends of his had been involved in an armed robbery. <mask> returned to the UK and worked in restaurants and bars, including a period as a waiter in a Little Chef on the A12; but he later agreed to return home and work on his father's

 farm. Although <mask> reportedly resented the low wages, he was given a car and lived rent-free in a cottage his father owned at 9 Head Street, Goldhanger,  from his family's farmhouse at White House Farm. He also owned eight percent of his family's caravan site, Osea Road Camp Sites Ltd., in Maldon. A few weeks before the murders, <mask> broke into and robbed the caravan park; this was only revealed following the murders, when he admitted to the robbery after his girlfriend Julie Mugford came forward as a witness against him. White House Farm murders

<mask> claims he alerted police to the shootings at around 3:30am on 7 August 1985.He contests to have told them Nevill had telephoned him to say that <mask>'s sister, Sheila Caffell, had gone "berserk" with Nevill's rifle. When police entered the farmhouse at White House Farm, Caffell was found dead on the floor of her parent's bedroom with the rifle up against her throat. June was found in the same room. Caffell's six-year-old twin sons, Nicholas and Daniel, were found in their beds in another upstairs room, while Nevill was found in the kitchen downstairs. The family had been shot a total of twenty-five times, mostly at close range. Sheila had spent time in a psychiatric hospital undergoing treatment for schizophrenia months before the murders. The police believed that she was responsible until Mugford told them <mask> had implicated himself.The prosecution argued that there was no evidence that <mask>'s father had telephoned him, stating that Nevill was too badly injured to have spoken to anyone; that there was no blood on the kitchen phone; and that he would have called the police, not <mask>. They also argued that the silencer was on the

 rifle when the shots were fired and that Caffell's reach was not long enough to hold the gun and silencer at her throat and press the trigger. In addition, Sheila was not strong enough, they said, to have overcome Nevill in what appeared to have been a violent struggle in the kitchen. They also argued that the fact she had shot herself twice in her apparent suicide attempt was evidence that she was not the killer. <mask>'s  defence team have unsuccessfully challenged the evidence over the years. They alleged that a police log suggested that <mask>'s father had indeed called the police that night and that the silencer may not have been on the gun during the attacks. The evidence about the silencer was unreliable, they argued, because the silencer was found in a farmhouse cupboard by one of <mask>'s cousins three days after the murders.Life in prison
<mask> is a Category A prisoner in HM Prison Wakefield, Yorkshire. He has worked there as a peer partner, which involves helping other prisoners to read and write, and has won several awards for transcribing books in the prison's braille workshop. In 2001, The Times alleged that he had been treated with indulgence at HM Prison Long Lartin, Worcestershire, where prisoners were given the key to their cells. Among the allegations claimed that he studied for his GCSE in sociology and media studies, had a daily badminton lesson, and drew pictures of supermodels in an art class which he later sold through an outside agent. A group of outside supporters has formed around <mask>, and he has reportedly developed several close relationships with women since his conviction. He defended himself on one occasion from a knife attack by another prisoner by using a
