texts: Rochester.Benny was reportedly at a table mingling with soldiers, when one serviceman told Benny how he thought Rochester was really funny and one of his favorites. Benny asked if he would like to meet him, but the soldier declined saying that where he comes from whites don't sit with people like Rochester. Appalled, Benny reportedly told him off and left the table. In 1943, when Benny brought his entire radio show cast to Canada at his own expense to perform for those in the various branches of the Canadian services, <mask> and his wife received a warm welcome. Stateside, an incident was defused by Benny when, according to reporter Fredric W. Slater, <mask> was denied a room at the hotel where Benny and his staff were planning to stay in Saint Joseph, Missouri. When it was announced that <mask> could not stay there, Benny replied: "If he doesn't stay here, neither do I." The hotel allowed <mask> to remain as a guest.It was not the only time a hotel refused <mask> a room. Soon after he became part of the permanent show cast, the program went on location to New York. When a couple from the South complained about staying in the same hotel as <mask>, the hotel manager tried to get him to find a room somewhere else. Hilliard Marks, the show's producer and also Jack Benny's brother-in-law, told the manager that <mask> would leave the hotel the next day. When he did, Jack Benny and the entire radio show cast and crew totaling 44 people, joined <mask> in checking out of the hotel. Among the most highly paid performers of his time, <mask> invested wisely and became wealthy. Until the 1950s, <mask> was the highest paid African American actor, receiving an annual

texts: salary of $100,000.In 1962, <mask> was on Ebony magazine's list of the 100 wealthiest African Americans. Despite this, he was so strongly identified with the "Rochester" role that many listeners of the radio program mistakenly persisted in the belief that he was Benny's actual valet. One such listener, after hearing Rochester's jokes about his low salary, drove Benny to distraction when he sent him a scolding letter concerning Rochester's alleged pay, and then sent another letter to <mask>, which urged him to sue Benny. In reality, <mask> did well enough to have his own valet. The fact that <mask> was frequently seen at Benny's home may have helped perpetuate the idea that he was a valet to Benny. Benny held the first rehearsal of his weekly radio show at his home in Beverly Hills. Those riding the stars' homes tour buses in the morning often saw <mask> sitting on Benny's front steps, drinking from a quart of milk while waving and calling "Yoo Hoo!"to those on the tour bus. <mask> would not start rehearsal until after Benny's milkman arrived with some of his breakfast. When Benny brought his show to television in 1950, <mask> as Rochester remained part of the cast until the television show left the air after the 1964–1965 season. In 1953, <mask> appeared as Rochester in an episode of The Milton Berle Show with the storyline being that Berle wanted to hire him away from Benny. He appeared on an episode of Bachelor Father in 1962 again as Rochester, where the story was that the Gregg household had borrowed him, hoping some of the thrifty habits he learned working for Benny might cut their own expenses.

During a February 1958 taping of a Shower of Stars special which was to celebrate Benny's "40th birthday", <mask> suffered a mild heart attack.A Life magazine photo taken at the rehearsal after <mask> was taken to the hospital, shows a concerned Benny, whose thoughts were not about the television show, but about his friend. After the television show went off the air, it was four years before the two men worked together again. Though Benny was frequently working out of town during that time, he and <mask> still kept in touch; <mask> said, "We always exchange Christmas gifts and he's not as stingy as he pretends to be." On the 1968 special Jack Benny's Bag, Benny introduced <mask> as "my lifelong friend, Rochester" and asked <mask> to work with him on a new television series. The plots brought up by Benny were of recent or current television shows, with <mask> reminding him that this had already been done. Benny then asked <mask> about coming back to work for him as his valet. <mask> replied, "Hold it, Blue Eyes, we don't do that any more."The following year, Rochester appeared again in the special Jack Benny's New Look, where Rochester drives Benny home in a Rolls Royce after Benny's meeting with Gregory Peck to discuss appearing as a guest star. Benny:  "Well Rochester, congratulate me. Gregory Peck said that he would be on my show"

Rochester:  "Good, good. I'll bet you had to pay him a lot of money"

Benny:  "You're wrong. He's going to do the show for nothing". Rochester:  "How did you do that?" Benny:  "Because I'm a very good salesman.I didn't come right out and ask him. I was very subtle"

<mask>'s film career began with George Cukor's What Price Hollywood?(1932), as a butler to one of the lead characters, and appeared in dozens of Hollywood films through the 1930s and 1940s. <mask> appeared on screen with radio boss Jack Benny for the first time in the film Man About Town (1939). The duo appeared in a few other feature films, including Buck Benny Rides Again (1940). In addition to his role with Benny, <mask> appeared in over sixty motion pictures, including The Green Pastures (1936) as Noah, Jezebel (1938) as 'Gros Bat', Capra's You Can't Take It with You (1938) as Donald, and in Gone with the Wind (1939) as Uncle Peter, among many others. He reprised his 'Rochester' role in Topper Returns (1941), this time as Cosmo Topper's valet (though he jokes about Mr. Benny in the film). He had a rare lead role in the all-star black Hollywood musical, Vincente Minnelli's debut film, Cabin in the Sky (1943),  as Joseph 'Little Joe' Jackson. The film Brewster's Millions (1945) in which <mask> was one of the stars, was banned in some Southern areas.The Memphis Board of Motion Picture Censors banned the film from being shown there, saying about <mask>, "(he) has an important role and has too familiar a way about him.

This cartoon portrays rodent versions of the show's characters. The real Jack Benny appears as himself at the end. <mask>'s last significant feature film performance was as one of the taxi drivers in Stanley Kramer's comedy, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), in which Benny made a cameo appearance (though they did not appear together). <mask> was elected into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1975.Other performances
<mask> appeared as a mystery guest on the television game show What's My Line? in 1952. Since the panel was blindfolded, Dorothy Kilgallen's question, "Are you brunette? ", brought a roar of laughter from the audience; <mask> laughed so hard he was not able to reply to the question. In 1957, Hallmark Hall of Fame presented The Green Pastures, giving <mask> the chance to reprise his film role as Noah on television; the program was nominated for an Emmy Award. <mask> also appeared on episodes of The Dick Powell Show, It Takes a Thief, and Love, American Style. In the early 1970s, <mask> was the voice of cartoon character Bobby Joe Mason in Harlem Globe Trotters and The New Scooby-Doo Movies.By 1972, he attempted a comeback with a nightclub act in Houston which led to being cast in Broadway revival of Good News, but was forced to resign due to bad health. Other business ventures

 regular on The Jack Benny Program. Not long after he became a regular cast member on the Benny show, <mask> opened a nightclub in the Central Avenue section of Los Angeles. <mask>'s nightclub was short-lived because he was too generous with his friends. The club was picking up the tab for too many guests and <mask> was forced to close the nightclub not long after it opened. During World War II, <mask> was the owner of the Pacific Parachute Company, an African American owned and operated business that made parachutes for the Army and Navy. He also managed a boxer, Billy Metcalfe, in the 1940s.<mask> had an astute business sense; in 1948, he saw the value and potential of Las Vegas as an entertainment center. With the idea of building and operating a hotel and casino there where African Americans would be welcome, he asked for investors to join him in the venture. <mask> failed to attract enough people willing to invest, and he was unable to complete the plan. When the Moulin Rouge Hotel, an integrated hotel and casino, opened in 1955, <mask> was brought in for its opening. He expressed regret at the thought that the hotel might have been his if he had the further financial backing. Personal life

Following Mamie's death, <mask> married Evangela "Eva" Simon on February 8, 1956, at Kingman, Arizona. The couple had three children: daughters Stephanie and Evangela Jr. ("Eva"), and son Edmund Jr. Simon and <mask> divorced in 1973 with <mask> retaining custody of his minor son and daughter. Home

Like many African Americans in the entertainment industry, <mask> made his home in the West Adams district of Los Angeles.In previous times, the district had been home to doctors, lawyers, and railroad barons. In the Depression era, the area had fallen into hard times, with many residents needing to either sell their homes or rent out rooms in them. By the 1940s, the African American entertainment community began purchasing homes in the district, nicknaming it "Sugar Hill". Some property owners reacted to their new neighbors by adding restrictive covenants to their deeds. The covenants either prohibited African Americans from purchasing a property or inhabiting it once purchased. The practice was declared illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948. Since <mask> wanted to build a home designed by Paul Williams, he was limited in his choice of a site for it by these restrictive covenants.As a result, his large and luxurious home with a swimming pool where the neighborhood children were always welcome, stands in an area of smaller, bungalow-style homes. The street was renamed because 'Rochester' lived on it. Hobbies
<mask> built model airplanes and racing cars, but also designed a life-size sports car for himself in 1951. <mask> combined a

When the boat developed engine trouble, <mask> and his two friends did everything sailors are expected to do to signal an SOS. They used mirrors, built fires, used lanterns and flew the ship's flag upside-down to indicate they were in distress.They spent the night adrift until a fishing boat finally spotted them and towed them into Los Angeles harbor. <mask> did not realize he had caused great concern until he heard a news story on the radio that described the search for him as still continuing. On the following Sunday, <mask> was back on the "Lucky Strike Program," and joked with Jack Benny about the incident. ("That's the first time I ever had a 'lost weekend' on nothing but water!") Horse racing

<mask> was the owner of racehorses. The best known of them was Burnt Cork, a Thoroughbred that ran in the 1943 Kentucky Derby, making him the first African American owner of a horse entered into the Derby. Having been given the following day off by Benny, <mask> and his wife, Mamie, traveled to Louisville, Kentucky to see their horse run in the Derby.Since segregation in public accommodations was practiced there, the <mask>s were invited to be guests at the home of Mae Street Kidd, an African American Kentucky politician. Both before and after the race, <mask> was accused of entering his horse in the race strictly for publicity purposes for himself, especially after Burnt Cork finished last. Those

 making the statements believed this tarnished the name and history of the race. Jack Cuddy, a United Press International sports columnist, pointed out in his column that around the same time Burnt Cork ran last for <mask>, King George VI's horse, Tipstaff, finished last at Ascot without any of the comments that surrounded <mask>. When Burnt Cork won an important race, <mask> came to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for work dressed as a Kentucky colonel; he also insisted on being called "Colonel Rochester". After the Benny television show had left the air, <mask> turned back to his love of horses and racing, working as a trainer at the Hollywood Park Racetrack until shortly before his death. He acquired much of his knowledge when one of his racing horses, Up and Over, was injured in a fall; it was suggested that the horse be euthanized due to the extent of those injuries.<mask> refused this and said he would take care of his injured animal. He spent extensive periods of time at the Paramount Pictures studio library, reading everything in their collection on equine anatomy. This led <mask> to a veterinary surgeon who was interested in helping Up and Over; together the two men got the thoroughbred back on his feet again. Death
<mask> died of heart disease on February 28, 1977, at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Los Angeles, California. He was buried in Los Angeles in historic Evergreen Cemetery, the oldest existing cemetery in the city. Legacy
In a last philanthropic gesture, he willed his sizable home to be used to help reform substance abusers. Three decades after his death, The Eddie Rochester Anderson Foundation in Los Angeles ("The

For his contribution to the radio industry, <mask> has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Radio, at 6513 Hollywood Blvd, in Hollywood. In 2001, <mask> was posthumously inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. Filmography

title: Herbord Osl

texts:
<mask> (I) from the kindred <mask> (; died 1279 or 1280) was a Hungarian nobleman and courtier, who served as Master of the horse from 1273 to 1274 and in 1277 (it is possible he also bore the dignity in 1279). He was also Master of the stewards for a short time in 1274. He was a confidant of the Hungarian monarchs during the internal wars. Ancestry and family
Herbord was born into the gens (clan) Osl, which originated from Sopron County. He was one of the seven sons of <mask> I, the first known member of the kindred, who founded a Premonstratensian monastery in Csorna. Herbord's brothers were Beled, who was Master of the cupbearers in the court of Duke Béla and ancestor of the Vicai family, which existed until 1873; <mask>, who served as Master of the treasury and Ban of Severin, and was also ancestor of the Ostfi family; Benedict, Bishop of Várad then Győr; Nicholas, who functioned as ispán of Győr County; Thomas, who did not hold any courtly positions, was forefather of the Csornai and Kanizsai noble families; and John, whose branch died out by the early 14th century. Herbord had two children from his unidentified wife: his son was <mask> II, also called with the surname Herbortyai, who was last mentioned by contemporary records in 1321.He had a son Stephen. <mask>'s branch, which remained marginal in the nobility, became extinct between around 1453 and 1455. His only daughter was Catherine, who married John Csák ("the Greyhound") from the Kisfalud branch of the gens Csák. She was deceased person by 1258 and her marriage produced three children; through them she became matriarch of the Mihályi then Csáky de Mihály noble families. Military and court service
<mask> <mask> grew up in the royal court of Andrew II together with Duke Béla, therefore possibly he was born in the

texts: Principality of Halych. It is possible, that he was involved in Hungarian legations to the Polish and Bohemian realms too. He also served his monarch in Dalmatia as his loyal trustee following the Mongol invasion. Especially since the 1250s, <mask> was commissioned to act as a pristaldus (royal commissioner or "bailiff") by Béla IV. For instance, when the monarch judged in the lawsuit between Amadeus Pok, Bishop of Győr and the burghers of Sopron over the property right of port duties in Lake Fertő (Neusiedl) in 1254, <mask> and a delegate of the Pannonhalma Abbey drafted the borders in the region.He again appeared as a pristaldus during a revisory act of the donation of Vasvár in 1256. He led an investigation in the case of lands Babót and Monoros in 1262. Alongside the abbot of the Klostermarienberg Abbey (Borsmonostor), he inaugurated the ispánate (lordship) of Locsmánd (present-day Lutzmannsburg in Austria) to the ownership of Lawrence Aba, Master of the stewards in 1263. He usually functioned as pristaldus in connection with legal affairs in Sopron County in the second half of the 1260s too. He remained loyal to Béla IV, whose relationship with his oldest son and heir, Stephen, became tense in the early 1260s, which caused a civil war lasting until 1266. He was referred to as baron (thus a holder of a royal dignity) in 1266, but the royal charter did not specify his office. It is possible that he served as Master of the horse or Master of the cupbearers sometimes in the 1260s.<mask> was considered a loyal partisan of Béla IV. During his court service, he has successfully increased his fortune. He first appeared in contemporary documents in this context in 1238, when bought a vineyard from the nobles of Őrség for 26 marks. In the next year, he filed a lawsuit alongside

 his brothers against their relative Nicholas, son of Szatmár, who donated some of his landholdings in Sopron County to the Knights Templar. However their verdict was unsuccessful, as Béla IV confirmed Nicholas' last will and the donated lands remained property of the chivalric order. <mask> acquired the land of Széplak from his nephew John by pledge in 1261, in addition to some portions in Csorna. He bought Pertel (today Magyarkeresztúr) in 1269.He gained the estate Bezeg from Nicholas Ákos via a lawsuit; the land laid in the neighbor of Csáva (present-day Stoob, Austria), which then was the centre of Herbord's domains. He was granted the land Rasina in Slavonia by Béla IV in 1248; this is the only known royal donation for Herbord, who founded a nearby village, which was subsequently called Herbortya after him. Following acquiring estates in Sopron County, he moved to Széplak, where he intended to build a new residence. Despite his efforts, his aspirations to increase the number of possessions remained marginal and confined, as compared to his powerful neighbor lords, the Kőszegi family and the Csák clan. When Stephen V ascended the Hungarian throne after his father's death in 1270, the newly crowned monarch permitted Herbord to build a fortress at Lake Fertő in order to strengthen the Western border against Ottokar II of Bohemia. Last years as baron
Following the sudden death of Stephen V and the coronation of the child ruler Ladislaus IV in 1272, Herbord was made ispán of Tolna County, according to two royal charters in November. Following that, he was appointed ispán of Baranya County still in that year.He again served in this capacity from 1273 to 1275, and for a short time in 1277. While holding the latter office, he and his namesake son had various lawsuits and

 hostilities with local baron Conrad Győr, who owned extended lands in the county (some historians claim those documents referred to Herbord from the gens Hahót). <mask> elevated into the position of Master of the horse in late 1273, holding the dignity until the next year, simultaneously with his position in Baranya County. During that time, the Kőszegi–Gutkeled–Geregye baronial group governed the kingdom, obtaining the majority of the dignities of the royal court, but considerably <mask> did not belong to their alliance. He lost his office at the same time, when the Kőszegis were expelled from the power after the Battle of Föveny, but <mask> was appointed Master of the stewards thereafter. Nevertheless, he bore the title only for few days in September 1274, when he was replaced by Nicholas Pok. Ladislaus IV donated Rábakecöl to Herbord in 1276; he exchanged the land for some other estates in Sopron County in the next year.He was again appointed as Master of the horse and ispán of Baranya County in the first half of 1277; the Csák baronial group obtained the majority of positions during that time. Soon, <mask> was replaced by Peter Aba still in that year, around November. He was last mentioned as ispán of Vas County by a royal charter in March 1279. It is possible that he is identical with that unidentified nobleman H., as only the first letter was preserved from his name in a charter of August 1279, who was mentioned as Master of the horse and ispán of Moson County. <mask> was referred to as a deceased person by 1280, when his son <mask> II donated some of his inherited lands to the Premonstratensian monastery of Csorna, in accordance with his father's last testament.

Kofman began her teaching career in Toulouse in 1960 at the , and worked with both Jean Hyppolite and Gilles Deleuze. Her abandoned primary thesis (thèse principale) for her State doctorate, later published as Nietzsche et la métaphore, was supervised by Deleuze. In 1969 Kofman met Jacques Derrida and began attending his seminars at the École Normale Supérieure. Kofman did not receive tenure until 1991, when she was appointed to a chair at Paris I.

Kofman was the author of numerous books, including several on Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. Her book, L'énigme de la femme: La femme dans les textes de Freud (1980), is perhaps the most thorough consideration of Freud's ideas concerning female sexuality. Writings
Though many of her philosophical writings focused on Nietzsche and Freud, Kofman wrote several works in an autobiographical vein.Paroles suffoquées (1987) is dedicated to the memory of her father, rabbi Bereck Kofman, whom she saw for the last time on July 16, 1942, and who was killed at Auschwitz. Rue Ordener, rue Labat (1994) also opens with the removal of her father by the French police, and describes what Kofman understands to have been his fate. The title refers to two Parisian streets: the address at which her family lived until her father's arrest; and the address at which she was sheltered for much of the remainder of the war. Kofman was taken in by a Parisian divorcée who became her surrogate mother and whom she

<mask> (, 1 October 1962 – 8 October 2018) was a Venezuelan–Colombian activist, lawyer, politician, and prominent figure within the Justice First opposition party. <mask> served as a councilman of the Libertador Municipality of Caracas from 2012 until his death in office in 2018. He died while he was detained in the headquarters of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) in Plaza Venezuela, Caracas. Government officials initially reported his death as a suicide, but his friends, family, opposition political parties and Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the Organization of American States, argued that the councilor's death was murder. In May 2021 Maduro's Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, admitted that <mask> did not commit suicide as initially reported, but was killed. Personal life and early career
<mask> was born in Colombia, and relocated to Venezuela at the age of four. At the time of his death, he held citizenship in both countries.He was a devout Catholic, and had worked with the Archdiocese of Caracas on many charity projects. <mask>, a lawyer who specialized in labor law, received his law degree from Central University of Venezuela. He served as the national secretary of the Justice First trade union association. He was elected to the Capital District's Libertador Bolivarian Municipality council in the 2013 municipal elections, winning the election with 6,170 votes and representing Circuit 3 on the council. <mask> with his wife, Meudy, and their two children, <mask> and María, maintained a residence in New York at the time of his death. Arrest

 authorities at Simón Bolívar International Airport on Friday, 5 October 2018, upon his return to the country. No reason for his arrest was given, and no details were provided of where he was being held, until after his death. The BBC reported that people close to him did not believe the official reason for arrest, instead saying that <mask> was arrested for presenting information about human rights violations in Venezuela during the assembly. While detained, <mask> was pressured by the Maduro government to testify against Borges about the Caracas drone attack; he refused, and told this to his family and lawyers when they spoke to him. Tarek William Saab, prosecutor general for the Maduro administration, later stated that Albán was arrested because of "evidence of 2,000 chats with conspiratorial themes". The number has also been reported as 200, and the chats were defined as conversations found on Albán's personal mobile phone. Death

<mask> was taken into SEBIN custody after his arrest, and was said after his death to be a suspect for the Caracas drone attack that had occurred two months earlier.He was seen by lawyer Joel García on Sunday after his arrest on Friday, but was reported dead on Monday, 8 October. The government states that he died by suicide when he jumped from a tenth-floor window either whilst he was waiting to be transferred (Interior Minister Néstor Reverol's account) or whilst going to the bathroom (Saab's account) at around midday. According to anonymous sources that Julio Borges says are official, <mask> was dead before he was thrown out of a window. According to William Jiménez, former coordinator of national investigations of the Caracas morgue, the autopsy revealed that water was found in <mask>'s lungs and Néstor Reverol ordered the report to be edited. The narrative was widely disputed. Efecto Cocuyo noted the differences in official stories, and quoted former

 SEBIN prisoners explaining that detainees are always escorted to the bathroom, opening further doubts, as the bathroom version was the first explanation given. Lawyers who knew the building confirmed that there are no windows in the bathroom and that all of the windows are locked, so Albán could not have opened one himself.His death, called murder by many, prompted protests across Venezuela and received worldwide media attention. A memorial was held at the National Assembly building the day after his death; his body was immediately released, but contained within a flag-draped coffin. He was buried on Wednesday, 10 October. His family watched his funeral on video from their residence in New York. His devout Catholic faith is cited by friends, colleagues, and the conference of Catholic bishops of Venezuela as a reason to not believe the official story regarding his death, because he had too much respect for God to consider taking his own life. Investigations
The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights called for an investigation into <mask>'s death, and planned to include it in a wider investigation into human rights abuses in the country. The European Union also asked for an independent investigation.Tarek William Saab, Venezuelan prosecutor general, said that he would investigate the death, but classified it as a suicide. García pointed out in response that a death can not be classified as suicide without an autopsy and investigation, and requested to be present at the autopsy. García was not present at the secret autopsy supposedly performed shortly before burial; Saab announced that the autopsy found that Albán died of blunt force trauma. It was later reported that there were two different death certificates, the first issued by a community doctor without the credentials to do so, and the other by a supposed doctor using a stolen identity. The opposition

 government in Venezuela asked that Colombia perform the investigation, so that it would be unbiased. García suggested that since <mask> retained his Colombian citizenship after moving to Venezuela, Colombia could have more legal rights to pursue an investigation; the international ramifications of the event were heightened when Albán's place of birth and heritage (his parents and ancestors are all Colombian) were made public knowledge. In May 2021, Maduro's Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, admitted that Albán did not commit suicide, as initially reported by government officials, but was killed.Response
With his body concealed, the public became concerned that <mask> had been tortured, which was supported by allegations from the Venezuelan opposition government, including Borges directly. A demonstration was held outside the city mortuary for the release of his body, with fears he would be cremated before anyone could examine it. The United Nations suggested that the Venezuelan government and intelligence service can be held responsible regardless of how <mask> died, as officials are "obligated to ensure Albán’s safety while in their custody". Article 44 of the Constitution of Venezuela says that the State is responsible for protecting the lives of its prisoners. Venezuelan opposition deputy Juan Miguel Matheus gave a speech describing the torture of Albán, saying that he would have been electrocuted and asphyxiated. Luisa Ortega Díaz – the exiled Venezuelan Chief Justice – announced her understanding that Albán died of suffocation while being tortured by a bag over his head during interrogation. The United States has also said it believes Albán was tortured then killed.France called for an investigation into the "suspicious" death and summoned the Venezuelan ambassador to the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs on Thursday, 11 October. Spain took similar actions, questioning

 the Venezuelan ambassador in Madrid. Multiple foreign countries suggested that the Maduro government tortured Albán. Saab denied all claims of torture, calling them a "rotten lie". Candlelight protests, public memorials and vigils were held in Caracas, particularly outside the SEBIN buildings, to denounce the murder. Supporters marched in <mask>'s funeral procession, with some holding signs with the slogan Yo me niego a rendirme (I refuse to give up), recalling the last speech of Juan Requesens before his detention. The United States Department of State issued a statement in April 2019 highlighting <mask>'s death as an example of the Maduro administration human rights abuses, stating:In October 2018, Caracas Councilman <mask> traveled to New York to denounce the Maduro regime's brutality on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.Upon his return to Venezuela on October 5, Maduro's secret police arrested him at the airport. He died in custody a few days later when he mysteriously fell from a 10th floor window of a maximum-security prison in Caracas. See also

<mask> (1859–1929) was a valet at the court of Tsar Nicholas II. He escaped a death march at Perm in September 1918 and survived to write his memoirs about his time at court and his escape. These include his experience of events such as the Khodynka Tragedy. Early life
<mask> was born in the town of Old-Ioriev, Kozlov District, Tambov Guberniya. As a young adult, he entered the Russian Army and rose through the ranks. He was on guard and witnessed the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. Later he was a military instructor to Tsar Nicholas II.From 1886, he was in service to Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia. He became a valet at the court of the Tsar in 1910. He was the Tsarina's personal servant and often pushed her wheelchair. Exile
<mask> followed the Tsar's family and household into internal exile following the Russian Revolution of 1917, but was separated from them at Ekaterinburg and imprisoned at Perm. There, he heard that the Tsar had been murdered by Bolsheviks, though he was unaware that the Tsarina and their children had also been shot. Escape from death
On 4 September 1918, he was taken from his prison cell in the middle of the night and led to the prison office, where he saw lady-in-waiting Anastasia Hendrikova and the elderly tutor Catherine Schneider. They were joined by eight other prisoners, including the chambermaid from the house where Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia had lived.They had an escort of twenty-two guards, none of whom were Russian. <mask> asked a guard where they were being taken and was told they were being taken "to the house of arrest." Hendrikova, who had been in the washroom, asked a guard the same question when she came out. She was told they were being taken "to the central prison." Hendrikova asked him, "and from there?" The guard replied, "Well! to Moscow."Hendrikova repeated this conversation to her fellow prisoners and made the sign of the cross with her fingers. Volkov took her gesture to mean "they will not shoot us." The sailor at the prison

 office door kept checking the front door that led to the street to make sure no one was there. After a while another sailor said, "Let's go." They lined the prisoners up in the street in rows of two, the men in front and the women in back. The group walked all the way to the edge of town and onto the Simbirsk road. Volkov asked another prisoner where the central prison was and was told they had long passed it.<mask> realized they were being taken into the woods to be shot. He broke from the group and ran for his life at the first opportunity. A bullet whizzed past his ear. Behind him he heard gunshots as the other prisoners in the group were shot and killed. <mask> eventually joined other refugees at the White Army headquarters in Omsk and made his escape from Russia through Vladivostok and the Far East. In 1922, he settled in Estonia. He later lived in Denmark, where he was highly respected in the émigré community because of his lifelong loyalty to the Romanov family.Anna Anderson
In 1925, Prince Valdemar of Denmark asked <mask> to visit Anna Anderson, who claimed to be Valdemar's great-niece, Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. Anderson was being treated at St. Mary's Hospital in Berlin for a tubercular infection of her arm. When <mask> first arrived at the hospital, on 3 July 1925, he caught a glimpse of Anderson when she went for a walk in the hospital grounds. At that point, <mask> thought Anderson resembled Anastasia, but the next day, they met one another and <mask> was dismayed to find that Anderson could not or would not speak Russian with him. Anderson did not recognise him, and <mask> was unable to discern a facial resemblance to Anastasia. The following day, <mask> returned for a third time and expressed his doubts as to her identity, but would not say definitely that Anderson was not Anastasia. On his final visit the following day, 6 July 1925, Anderson correctly answered some of his questions, and recounted stories of Grand Duchess Anastasia's life before the Revolution that moved

 <mask> to tears.At the conclusion of his visit, <mask> did not say whether he thought Anderson was or was not Anastasia. Afterwards, in an interview with the Russian-language newspaper Poslednyi Novosti, published in Estonia on 15 January 1926, <mask> denied Anderson was Anastasia, and decried her as an impostor. <mask>'s memoirs, Souvenirs d'Alexis Volkov, were published by Payot of Paris in 1928, a year before his death in 1929. Serge Ostrogorsky, a Russian courtier who knew <mask>, claimed after <mask>'s death that <mask> had told him that Anderson was not Anastasia and that the encounter had moved him to tears, but also that he admitted that he had kissed her hand. Ostrogorsky claimed that he pressed Volkov to account for the hand-kissing, which "he would never have done if someone other than Grand Duchess Anastasia had been standing before him". At which point, according to Ostrogorsky, <mask> said, "I believe that she is the Grand Duchess, but how can the Grand Duchess speak no Russian?" In 1995, DNA tests confirmed that Anderson was not Anastasia, but was instead a Polish woman with a history of mental illness who went missing just before Anderson first appeared in Germany.It is now known that Anastasia was murdered along with the rest of the immediate Imperial family on July 18, 1918, but that she and her brother Alexei were buried in a separate location from the rest, and her body was not located until 2007.

In the early months of the year, <mask> trailed McGwire significantly, being as many as 16 homers behind at one point in May. But as the chase progressed, <mask> eventually tied McGwire with 46 home runs on August 10. However, McGwire pulled away slightly and reached 62 home runs to break the record first on September 8. <mask> tied McGwire once again at 62 on September 13. Eleven days later, with two games left to play in the season, the two were tied at 66 home runs each. <mask> ended the season with 66, finishing behind McGwire's 70.It was during that season that Cubs announcer Chip Caray nicknamed him "Slammin' <mask>", a nickname that quickly spread. <mask> produced then career-highs in batting average and slugging percentage, at .308 and .647 respectively. <mask> also led the league in RBIs and runs scored. Also in 1998, <mask>'s 416 total bases were the most in a single season since Stan Musial's 429 in 1948. <mask>'s performance in the month of June, during which Sosa belted 20 home runs, knocked in 47 runs, and posted an .842 slugging percentage, was one of the greatest offensive outbursts in major league history. <mask> won the National League Most Valuable Player Award for leading the Cubs into the playoffs in 1998, earning every first-place vote except for the two cast by St. Louis writers, who voted for McGwire. He and McGwire shared Sports Illustrated magazine's 1998 "Sportsman of the Year" award.<mask> was honored with a ticker-tape parade in his honor in New York City, and he was invited to be a guest at US President Bill Clinton's 1999 State of the Union Address. 1998 was also the first time the Cubs made the

He received the Babe Ruth Home Run Award for leading MLB in homers. In 2001, he hit 64 home runs, becoming the first player to hit 60 or more home runs three times.However, he did not lead the league in any of those seasons; in 2001, he finished behind Barry Bonds, who hit 73 homers, breaking the single-season home run record set by McGwire in 1998 (70). In 2001, he also set personal records in runs scored (146), RBI (160), walks (116), on-base percentage (.437), slugging percentage (.737), and batting average (.328). He led the majors in runs and RBI, was second in home runs, second in slugging percentage, first in total bases, third in walks, fourth in on-base percentage, 12th in batting average, and 15th in hits. He also surpassed his 1998 number in total bases, racking up 425. <mask> once again led the league in home runs with 49 in 2002. In recognition of his accomplishments as a hitter, <mask> won the Silver Slugger Award (an award for offensive output, voted on by managers and coaches) in 1995 and in 1998 through 2002. In 2003, the Cubs won the National League Central Division title.In May, he spent his first period on the disabled list since 1996 after having an injured toenail removed. On June 3, 2003, <mask> was ejected from a Chicago Cubs-Tampa Bay Devil Rays game in the first inning when umpires discovered he had been using a corked bat. Major League Baseball confiscated and tested 76 of <mask>'s other bats after his ejection; all were found to be clean, with no cork. Five bats he had sent to the Hall of Fame in past years were also tested, and were all clean as well. <mask> stated that he had accidentally used

He was diagnosed with back spasms and placed on the disabled list. He finished with 35 homers, far below his numbers of his best years. Despite his declining production and release from the team at the end of the 2004 season, between 1995 and 2004 <mask> clubbed 479 home runs which is the most home runs by a player in history over a 10-year span. He also owns numerous team records for the Cubs and he holds the major-league record for the most home runs hit in a month (20, in June 1998).Baltimore Orioles and year off (2005–2006)

On January 28, 2005, the Cubs traded <mask> to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for infielder-outfielder Jerry Hairston, Jr., infielder Mike Fontenot, and RHP Dave Crouthers. To facilitate the deal, <mask> and his agent agreed to waive the clause that guaranteed his 2006 salary, and the players' union indicated it would not object to that agreement. Under the deal, <mask> earned $17.875 million for the 2005 season, with the Cubs paying $7 million of his salary. By playing for the 2005 Orioles alongside fellow 500-home-run batter Rafael Palmeiro, <mask> and Palmeiro became the first 500 home run club members in history to play together on the same team after reaching the 500 home run plateau. <mask> finished

 the 2005 season batting .221 with 14 home runs, his worst performance since 1992, and continuing his post-2001 trend of declines in batting average, homers, total bases, and RBI. On December 7, 2005, the Orioles decided not to offer him an arbitration contract, effectively ending his Baltimore Orioles tenure and making him a free agent. In 2005, The Sporting News published an update of their 1999 book Baseball's 100 Greatest Players.<mask> did not make the original edition, but for the 2005 update, with his career totals considerably higher, he was ranked at Number 95. During a stretch of nine consecutive years, <mask> hit 35 or more home runs and 100+ RBIs, all with the Chicago Cubs. At the end of January 2006, the Washington Nationals offered <mask> two different minor-league offers, both of which he turned down. On February 15, 2006, <mask>'s agent Adam Katz stated: "We're not going to put him on the retirement list. We decided that [not putting him on that list] was the best thing to do. But I can say, with reasonable certainty, that we've seen <mask> in a baseball uniform for the last time." During that year, <mask> accompanied President Leonel Fernández of the Dominican Republic on several diplomatic trips including to the United States, Japan, and Taiwan.Texas Rangers and end of career (2007–2009)

The Texas Rangers, <mask>'s original team, signed him to a minor league deal worth $500,000 on January 30, 2007. This was the same contract that <mask> turned down the previous year from the Nationals. The contract included an invitation to spring training, where <mask> competed for a spot in the lineup with Nelson Cruz, Jason Botts, and other rookies/prospects. <mask> was successful during spring training and was added to the team's 25-man roster. He started the 2007 season as the Rangers' designated hitter and occasional right fielder. At the same time, the Chicago Cubs awarded <mask>'s

This caused some concern, due to <mask>'s accomplishments with the Cubs, including his status as the Cubs' all-time home run leader.On April 26, 2007, <mask> made history by hitting a home run in his 45th major league ballpark. He has also homered in The Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports, near Orlando, Florida, a usually minor-league and Spring training park that hosted a regular season series between the Rangers and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in May 2007, although he did not hit a homer at the two regular season games the Cubs played at the Tokyo Dome in 2000 vs. the Mets. On June 20, 2007, <mask> hit a home run off of Jason Marquis during an inter-league game against the Chicago Cubs. <mask> became only the fifth man in history, following Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds, to hit 600 regular season home runs. The home run was the first one that <mask> had recorded against the Cubs, and as a result he has hit a home run against every active MLB team. <mask> is the Cubs' all-time home run leader, having hit 545 with that team. On May 28, 2008, <mask> announced that he instructed his agent not to offer his services to any MLB team for the 2008 season, and planned on filing for retirement, but never did.On December 25, 2008, <mask> announced he intended to unretire and play in the World Baseball Classic and once again test the free agent market in hopes of signing with a Major League ballclub in 2009. <mask> said that he had been keeping in shape at his home, and was hoping that after a strong World Baseball Classic he would prove to major-league teams that he was still capable of playing in the MLB. However, he was not selected as part of the Dominican Republic's roster. He remained a free agent and did not actively look for a team. On June 3, 2009, <mask> announced his

On June 16, 2009, The New York Times reported that <mask> was on a list of players who had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003, in baseball's steroids scandal.The paper stated that this information had been obtained from unnamed attorneys with knowledge of Major League Baseball drug test results from 2003. Previously, <mask> sat alongside Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire at a 2005 hearing before Congress. His attorney testified on his behalf, stating, "To be clear, I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with anything. I have not broken the laws of the United States or the laws of the Dominican Republic. I have been tested as recently as 2004, and I am clean." In an interview with ESPN Deportes, <mask> said he would "calmly wait" for his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, for which he became eligible in 2013.In results announced on January 9, 2013, <mask> was not elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) into baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, receiving 12.5% in his first year on the ballot—the requirement for election is 75%. In the following years, his voting percentage dropped as low as 6.6% in 2015 to a high of 18.5% in 2022. A candidate remains eligible for inclusion on subsequent ballots as long as he receives a minimum of 5.0% of the vote in a given year, and is removed from consideration by the BBWAA after 10 years of not being elected; thus, <mask>'s final appearance was on the 2022 ballot.

Her overall college coaching record is 436-196. <mask> was born in Humansville, Missouri. Her family later lived in several places in neighboring Kansas before settling in Westmoreland. Despite the fact that her father had been a coach of both boys and girls basketball in Westmoreland, the family moved to Topeka, where <mask> did not play basketball for her high school because the school was too small to sponsor any athletic teams.However, she was invited to play for an industrial team sponsored by Ohse Meats Company. <mask> started her coaching experience as an assistant at Southern Illinois University where she pursued her master's degree. In addition to basketball, she played softball for the Raybestos Brakettes, with Lou Albrecht, who was the women's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton.

After her Olympic coaching experience, <mask> was hired at UCLA to coach the basketball team.In her first year, the team finished 27–3 and won the AIAW Women's Basketball Tournament. UCLA beat Maryland 90–74 in front of over 9,000 fans—at that time, the largest crowd ever to see a women's championship game. <mask> was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999 and in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in the same year. <mask> received the Naismith's Women's Outstanding Contribution Award in 2002. <mask> is the author of Basketball, theory and practice.

The event, also called the Universiade, is the eighth event to have women's basketball, but the first in which the USA participated.The USA team was assigned to the same preliminary round group as the Soviet team, and drew them as their first opponent. The game was not close, as the USSR defeated the USA 92–43. The USA went on to defeat France and Mexico. Their 2–1 record qualified them for the medal round, but the rules of the competition carried

That performance qualified the USA team for the gold medal game, but it matched them up against undefeated USSR. While the game was closer, the Soviets were much too strong and won 82–44 to claim the gold.The USA team earned a silver medal in their first ever World University Games competition. <mask> was named to the coaching staff on the USA National Team as an assistant coach in 1975. Because the World Championships and the Pan American Games were scheduled only eight days apart, USA basketball put together a squad of players and coaches for both events. The World Championship was help in Cali, Colombia at the end of September through early October. The USA team had a disappointing result finishing 4–3 and missing the medal rounds. In the opening game, the USA lost by two points to Japan. They bounced back to beat Australia, but then faced Czechoslovakia and lost by a single point.This relegated the team to the consolation rounds, where the team won three of four, losing only to Canada, and finishing in eighth place. The USA Basketball team had had success in the Pan American games with gold medals in 1955,1959, and 1963, but had come in second place in both 1967 and 1971. In 1975, the team was determined to win the gold, and <mask> <mask> was named assistant coach. One of the leading players on the Pan American team was Lusia Harris, whose Delta State team had beaten Immaculata in the 1975 Championship game, and would do so again in 1976.

The games were originally planned for Chile, then Brazil when Chile withdrew the offer to host, and then Mexico City, where they were eventually held in October. The USA's team first opponent was Mexico, a team that finished ahead of the US at the World Championships, and would end up the silver medal winning in this competition.The USA team beat them 99–65, setting a tone for the event. The USA next beat Canada 75–56. They followed that game with a convincing 116–28 victory over El Salvador. Their following game against Cuba was the only close game, with the USA winning by six points 70–64. The USA team then went on to defeat the Dominican Republic 99–50, and Columbia 74–48. This set up the final with Brazil.

<mask> (April 19, 1885 – June 17, 1971) was an American Universalist minister who also worked as a writer, lecturer and editor. Academically, he is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on the 17th-century British author and scholar Robert Burton. However, he is most well known for originating the hoax art movement Disumbrationism. Life and ministry

<mask> (his name was not hyphenated until later in life; see below) was born in Wytheville, Virginia. His father, John Wesley Smith, was a Southern Methodist minister who dreamed of starting a college and invested in land in Dade County, Georgia, outside Chattanooga, Tennessee. His wife (the former Lucy Jordan) and son joined him there in 1891, but the venture failed and the family returned to Virginia. While a student at Emory and Henry College, <mask> secretly married Ethel Sloan Park in September 1904.Their daughter Lucille Isabella (Isabel Jordan) Smith was born in August 1905. He graduated from U.S. Grant University in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1906. A local Unitarian minister recommended that he study for the ministry, and although admitted to Harvard Divinity School he enrolled in the more affordable Ryder Divinity School of the Universalist Lombard College in Galesburg, where he received a bachelor of divinity degree in 1908. He served briefly as a minister at Universalist churches in Unionville, Missouri, and Kansas City and developed a reputation as an outstanding lecturer on science and religion. He moved to Chicago in 1910, where he worked at the Independent Religious Society and later got a job as a minister and ran a settlement house. He also enrolled part-time in graduate classes at the University of Chicago and developed a broad acquaintance among both literary and social activist circles, including lawyer Clarence Darrow, activist Emma

In the process, he became a passionate book collector and decided on a career in literature.Jordan Smith also developed an interest in art through visits to the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1913 his wife Ethel divorced him and his mother died. After a few months in the South, he traveled to Berkeley, California with letters of introduction, filled in for a minister in Eureka in the summer of 1914, and enrolled as a doctoral student and teaching fellow in the English Department at the University of California, Berkeley. He was hired as a substitute minister of the First Unitarian Church of Berkeley after Arthur Maxson Smith resigned when his wife, the heiress Sarah Bixby Smith, caught him having an affair and sued for divorce. <mask>-Smith became romantically involved with Sarah, a writer, and their involvement became  public, to their dismay, before the divorce was final. It was around this time that <mask> assumed the hyphenated Jordan-Smith as his last name, in part to disguise his liaison with Sarah, which he feared might damage his academic career. Despite this precaution, the English Department—then headed by Charles Mills Gayley—voted not to renew his fellowship, putting an end to his plans for an academic career.Jordan-Smith married Sarah on March 30, 1916, immediately after her divorce came through. The couple then moved with Sarah's children to her former home in Claremont, California, which had been rented to a school for boys. In 1917, the school's lease ended and they began renovating the house back into a private residence, which they named Erewhon after the Samuel Butler novel. Around this time, they met and

Eventually, the couple moved to a mansion on Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles, where Jordan-Smith had a detached library and writing studio on the property. Though Jordan-Smith did not have to work (thanks to Sarah's inherited wealth), he lectured around southern California, at women's clubs such as the Friday Morning Club (of which Sarah was later president), at the Ebell Club, and elsewhere. He also taught courses on English and American literature at the new University of California Extension program in Los Angeles.Encouraged by some of the philanthropists who attended his talks, he took on leadership of the recently formed People's Council of America for Peace and Democracy, an antiwar organization. The group did well until its leaders came under attack when the U.S. government began to crack down on antiwar opposition through the Espionage Act of 1917. To avoid prosecution, Jordan-Smith was obliged to give up making antiwar speeches and to swear that he did not have any German affiliations or friends. Jordan-Smith served for a time as the educational director of the Walt Whitman School, a progressive secondary school founded in East Los Angeles in 1919. Jordan-Smith eventually left Sarah for his cousin Dorothy and the couple divorced. He died on June 17, 1971.

<mask> (蘇良嗣) (606 – February 24, 690), formally the Duke of Wen (溫公), was an official of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty, serving as chancellor during the regency of Empress dowager Wu. Background
<mask> was born in 606, during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui. His father <mask> () was then an official for Sui Dynasty, and had been an official for <mask>i's predecessor Northern Zhou. After <mask>'s fall in 619, <mask> initially submitted to one of the contenders to succeed <mask>i, Wang Shichong the Emperor of Zheng, but after Zheng was defeated by Tang Dynasty forces in 621, submitted to Tang and became a Tang official, subsequently serving under its first two emperors Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong. <mask>'s family was from Yong Prefecture (雍州, roughly modern Xi'an, Shaanxi) -- the capital prefecture for both Sui and Tang. During Emperor Gaozong's reign
During the reign of Emperor Taizong's son Emperor Gaozong, <mask>si served as the military advisor to Emperor Gaozong's son Li Xian the Prince of Zhou. It was said that because Li Xian was young, his behaviors were often against regulations; <mask> would sternly advise against such behavior, and Li Xian feared and respected him.It was also said that many staff members were not capable officials, but <mask> carefully governed the staff and there were few violations against regulations, earning him much praise from Emperor Gaozong. Later in Emperor Gaozong's reign, he was made the secretary general at Jing Prefecture (荊州, roughly modern Jingzhou, Hubei). On an occasion in 682, Emperor Gaozong sent eunuchs to the Yangtze River region to seek out unusual bamboo plants, hoping to transplant them to the imperial garden. The eunuchs were said to abuse this authority to overpower the people, and when they went through Jing Prefecture,

Further, these frivolous persons are abusing their authority and causing damage to the imperial reputation." Emperor Gaozong commented to his powerful wife Empress Wu (later known as Wu Zetian), "I did not think this through carefully, and I drew a rebuke from <mask>si." He wrote an edict thanking <mask>, and ordered that the collected bamboo plants be thrown into the river.However, while serving at Jing Prefecture, <mask> was also involved in an embarrassing event that caused people to believe that he did not study well. In Jing Prefecture was a Buddhist temple that Emperor Xuan of Western Liang had built named Hedong Temple (), dedicated to Emperor Xuan's older brother Xiao Yu () the Prince of Hedong, who had been killed early by their uncle Emperor Yuan of Liang. <mask>, when he saw the temple, unaware of its connection with the Prince of Hedong, commented, "What does Hedong have to do with this region between the Yangtze and the Han River?" (Hedong originally referred to the region east of the Yellow River, in modern Shanxi.) He submitted a request, later approved, that the temple be torn down. This caused the people of the region to complain that he was unaware of history. During Emperor Gaozong's Yongchun era (682-683), <mask> was made the secretary general of Yong Prefecture.At that time, the Guanzhong region (i.e., the region around the capital Chang'an) was suffering from a famine that was so severe that people resorted to cannibalism, and there were many thefts and robberies. <mask> was said to be a strict governor, and criminal cases were usually solved within three
