A few weeks after the birth of her daughter in February 1965, <mask> was playing again around Yorkville, often with a friend, and was beginning to sing original material for the first time, written with her unique open tunings. She found work at a folk club in Toronto in March and April.She met Charles Scott "Chuck" <mask>, an American folk singer from Michigan. Chuck told her that he could get her work in the coffeehouses he knew in the United States, after he was attracted to her and impressed by her performance. <mask> and <mask> left Canada for the US in April 1965, where they began playing music together. In June 1965, at the age of 21, Joni married Chuck in an official ceremony in his hometown. She said that she made her dresses. We didn't have any money.

Folk singer Tom Rush met <mask> in Toronto and was impressed with her ability to write.Rush recorded "Urge for Going" himself because Judy Collins was not interested in the song at the time. George Hamilton IV recorded a hit country version of Rush's performance. Other artists who recorded <mask>'s songs in the early years were Buffy Sainte-Marie, Dave Van Ronk, and Judy Collins. <mask>'s commercial success was overshadowed by Collins' cover of "Chelsea Morning". While <mask> was playing at the Gaslight South in Coconut grove, Florida, David Crosby walked in and was immediately struck by her ability and her appeal as an artist. He went to Los Angeles to introduce her and her music to his friends. After seeing her play in a coffee house, Buffy Sainte-Marie urged Elliot Roberts to manage her.He was close to David Geffen. Her career was going to be influenced by Roberts and Geffen. She was signed to the Warners-affiliated Reprise label. Crosby persuaded Reprise to let <mask> record a solo acoustic album without the folk-rock overdubs in vogue at that time, and his clout earned him a producer's credit in March 1968, when Reprise released her debut album, "Song to a Seagull." <mask> toured to promote the album. <mask>'s second album, Clouds, was released in April 1969. <mask>'s own versions of her songs that were already recorded and performed by other artists were included in this album.The covers of both albums were designed and painted by <mask>, a blend of her painting and music that she continued throughout her career.

Her next album, Blue, was released in June 1971 and contained the songs she wrote during the months she took off for travel and life experience. David Crosby said that by the time she did Blue, she was past him and moving toward the horizon. Blue was a commercial and critical success, hitting the British Top 3 and peaking in the top 20 of the Billboard albums chart. The lushly produced "Carey" was the single at the time, but musically, other parts of Blue departed further from the sounds of Ladies of the Canyon. Simpler, rhythmic acoustic parts allowed a focus on <mask>'s voice and emotions, while others such as "Blue", "River" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard" were sung to her rolling piano accompaniment.<mask> said of Blue, "I have sacrificed

As 1984 ended, <mask> received a suggestion from Geffen that perhaps an outside producer with experience in the modern technical arenas that they wanted to explore might be a worthy addition. Thomas Dolby is a British producer and performer. <mask> was reluctant when Thomas was suggested because he had been asked to produce the record by Geffen, and would he consider coming in as just a programmer and a player? We had some problems on that level. He might be able to do it quicker. He may be able to do it better, but it wouldn't be my music.Dog Eat Dog, which was released in October 1985, was only a moderate seller.

The Reading Formula Rieve was committed to organizing new members in the hosiery industry.In November 1930, Rieve authorized a strike among hosiery workers. The strike collapsed after a lot of opposition. The union agreed to a 30 percent wage cut in the expectation that non-union mills would lower their wages below the new union level. This would cause a massive strike that would allow the AFHW to organize the workers. A third of the industry's total number of workers struck. Rieve tried to increase the radicalism of the workers and raise the demand for a union by withholding strike aid. In the depths of the Great Depression, employers were content to sit out the strike.<mask> signed a new contract after admitting defeat. <mask> led his division in approving another large organizing drive.

The principle of secret-ballot elections as a means of determining union support among workers at a plant was established by the "Reading formula", a major step forward in the conceptualization of American labor law.Despite <mask>'s organizing drive and conditions favorable to union organizing created by the depression, the UTW still had only 80,000 paying members. The National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 authorized the establishment of "industry codes" to regulate wages, hours and working conditions in every industry in the United States. The board adjudicating alleged violations of the code was dominated by employers. The textile industry was not improved by the code. When workers won shorter hours, employers sped up work. <mask> was one of several national union leaders who pressed for the union to threaten a nationwide strike in order to win improvements in the NIRA code.

Each had its own labor force. The skills of workers were not normally transferred between segments of the industry. Almost none of the textile firms were strategic. Most of the textile employment in the Deep South is in 29 states.CIO vice president Sidney Hillman was adamant that the CIO undertake a comprehensive organizing drive in textiles. Two years after the victories in steel and automobiles, Hillman pressured CIO leaders to create an agreement similar to the one that created SWOC. The Textile Workers Organizing Committee was formed in 1937. Thomas Kennedy of the United Mine Workers was the secretary-treasurer. The other members of the committee were Gorman and Rieve. There were a lot of workers in the first six months. 215,000 workers were organized by TWOC by September 1937.The recession of 1937 resulted in layoffs and a drop in TWOC membership.

The beginning of events which would seriously affect the union in the 1950s was seen by TWUA Rieve's tenure as acting chairman. Rieve's ejection of the Textile Council was the first.In January of 1938, the council, a federation of seven textile unions, was confronted by an employer demand to cut wages by 12.5 percent. The wage reduction was approved by the council rather than being silent. The action undermined TWOC organizing efforts in the region. <mask> revoked the charters of the seven locals because he was concerned that the council's action might spark a revolt by other New England unions. There was a revolt from within in the late 1930s. <mask> was the leader of the union which would emerge once TWOC's organizing drives concluded.

He was the Viceroy of India from 1926 to 1931 and the Foreign Secretary from 1938 to 1940. He was one of the architects of the policy of appeasement of Hitler. He was one of the people who pushed for a new policy of going to war to defend Poland after Kristallnacht. In May 1940, the position of Prime Minister was taken away from him due to his membership in the House of Lords being given as the official reason. A few weeks later, with the Allies facing seemingly catastrophic defeat and British forces falling back to Dunkirk, <mask> favored approaching Italy to see if acceptable peace terms could be negotiated. He was overruled by the War Cabinet.He was British Ambassador in Washington from 1941 to 1946. Wood was born at the home of his maternal grandfather, the 11th Earl of Devon, on April 16, 1881. He was born into a Yorkshire family, the sixth child and fourth son of Charles Wood and Lady Agnes Elizabeth Courtenay. The President of the English Church Union was his father. <mask> was the Prime Minister who introduced the Great Reform Act. Wood's three older brothers died young, leaving him at the age of nine, heir to his father's fortune and seat in the House of Lords. He was raised in a world of hunting.He was nicknamed the "Holy Fox" because of his religiosity like his father. He was born with an atrophied left arm and no left hand, which did not stop him from enjoying riding, hunting and shooting. He had an artificial left hand that he could use to hold reins or open gates. Hickleton Hall, near Doncaster, and Garrowby were the two houses where Wood grew up. St

There was a long meeting with the Fhrer. According to discussions with Hitler, there were possible alterations in the European order which might come about with the passage of time. He did not object in principle to Hitler's designs on Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia and Poland because he stressed that only peaceful processes of change would be acceptable.

In February of 1938, the Cabinet was warned of strains by Halifax and he tried to broker a deal between the two. On 20 February, Eden resigned as Foreign Secretary in protest at Chamberlain's wish to make further concessions to Mussolini without good faith.

Foreign Secretary <mask>'s political line as Foreign Secretary must be seen in the context of existing British foreign policy, which was predicated on a broad consensus that in none of the democracies was there popular support for war, military pressure, or even rearmament. The extent to which the dictatorships' interests could be teased apart was debated. Without a neutral Italy, Britain would be unable to move large naval forces east to confront Japan because of strong isolationist sentiment in America. In the Foreign Office, appeasement was a necessary compromise to buy time for rearmament, a process that Britain was already heavily committed to. A strong military alliance with France would allow a more robust foreign policy towards the dictators. Many shared Churchill's confidence in the large French Army, but fewer shared his belief that France would be a resilient ally.The policy of appeasement was embraced by many people who were opposed to war and defence spending. <mask>'s policy appears more pragmatic, like that of Samuel Hoare, and it also has a firm commitment to rearmament. The difficulty of acting without a readiness on the part of America or the Soviet Union to play their part was recognised by all parties. In the 1940 book Guilty Men, a group of people, including <mask>, were accused of being appeasers. The annexation of Austria by Hitler in March of 1938 made <mask> more interested in British rearmament. The Czechs were next on the agenda, but neither Britain nor France believed they had the military capacity to support her, and in the summer of 1938, <mask> still wanted to urge the Czechs in private to make concessions to Germany, which

It appears that a frank conversation with his pugnacious Permanent Secretary, Sir Alexander Cadogan, brought Halifax to the realization that the road to appeasement had taken Britain into a series of concessions that were unlikely to secure the necessary pacification of Germany. The inflated demands presented by Hitler in the Godesberg Memorandum were denounced by Halifax in the Cabinet. The Cabinet was persuaded to reject the Bad Godesberg terms by Halifax. Britain and Germany were close to war. His dominance of his Cabinet was never so overwhelming after the loss of a second Foreign Secretary. After the third summit meeting with Hitler, the Munich Agreement was signed, but it was short of Hitler's desires and increased Hitler's determination to return to destroy.In the House of Lords on 3 October 1938, <mask> defended the Munich Agreement in a more measured way than the Prime Minister had done, not as a triumph but as the lesser of two evils. The crisis in Germany had led to a stronger line being taken by Halifax. Andrew Roberts says that from this point on, Halifax set his face towards a policy of deterrence. He hoped that increased rearmament and economic support to the countries of Eastern Europe, as well as a stronger line towards Germany, Italy, and Japan, would reduce the risks of those three hostile powers acting together. When war began, neither Japan nor Italy was prepared to join in until the pendulum swung in Germany's favor. The National Coalition should be widened by offering jobs not only to Labour and

Kristallnacht was an anti-Jewish pogrom.He wanted British financial aid to the countries of central and eastern Europe to stop them from being influenced by Germany. With Hitler's lack of commitment regarding the Munich Agreement becoming clearer, Halifax worked steadily to assemble a stronger British position, pushing Chamberlain to take economic steps to underpin British interests in Eastern Europe and prevent additional military supplies from reaching Germany. They went to Rome for talks with Mussolini. The danger of war with both Germany and Italy in the same month led to staff talks with France. The rump of "Czecho-slovakia" was occupied by Hitler after he broke theMunich agreement and pledged that Britain would go to war to defend Poland. There was a change of policy and one of the drivers was Halifax. The government is now doing what we would wish, according to the man who left office in March 1939.In order to send a clear signal to Germany that there would be no moreMunichs, <mask> granted a guarantee to Poland on 31 March 1939.

On 1 November 1939, <mask> replied to an approach through Swedish channels that there was no peace with Hitler in power. The First Lord of the Admiralty sent a private note to <mask> telling him that talk like that was dangerous. There was no hint of a compromise peace during the Phoney War.

After the vote, he admitted his disappointment and said that he would try for a coalition government with the Labour and Liberal Parties. The next morning, at 10.15am, he met with the two men in the Cabinet Room.

When Chamberlain retired from the Cabinet due to ill health, he was offered a job in the Prime Minister's Office, which he accepted.He agreed to become the leader of the house again. The British Ambassador to the United States died suddenly in December of 1940. He was told to take the job if he could still attend meetings of the War Cabinet when he was back in London. On December 20th, John Colville recorded that the Washington job was a great opportunity for Halifax to help bring the United States into the war. The F.O. and Churchill had a reputation for appeasement, according to Colville. They had won here. He didn't have a future in this country.According to Colville, the monthly censorship reports showed that some of Chamberlain's unpopularity had been passed on to Halifax. The last man linked with appeasement to leave the Cabinet was Halifax, and both Hoare and Simon had already moved to other jobs. He and his wife tried to convince him to take the Washington job, but he didn't take it. The Foreign Office was taken over by Halifax. The United States was still neutral in 1941. He and his wife left the Royal Navy base.

His period as Foreign Secretary was "the pivot of his career and it remains the period upon which his historical reputation ultimately depends; just as Eden saved his reputation by resigning in time, so <mask> damaged his by being Foreign Secretary in 1938–40," according to his biography. He deserves some credit for abandoning the policy of appeasement. The most significant act of his career was his refusal to seize the premier's office. There had been much to be said for the Foreign Secretary's line that Britain should at least have investigated what peace terms were on offer.His most important role in public life was as Ambassador to the United States, where he helped to smooth a relationship which was often more fraught than early interpretations suggested.

The early days of professional racing, 1976 and prior, many tracks offered small purse prize money to the older racers of an event, even before the official sanctioning bodies offered prize money in formal divisions themselves. The NBA, which was the first true national BMX sanctioning body, had a professional division before the start of the 1975 season. The NBA started the first pro division class in 1977 called Open Pro a pro/am class in which racers 14 and over could race in. For the sake of consistency and standardization noted professional first are for the first pro races for prize money offered by official BMX sanctioning bodies and not independent track events. Unless otherwise stated, professional first are on the national level. Thectioning body: None.Before official sanctioning bodies and individual tracks had their own race series, this was the era. Over the first two years of his career, he won 40 trophies of which 36 were for first place. He won the very first official National in BMX history in both his class and overall, the National Bicycle Association (NBA) Winternationals held. He won the 14 & Over Expert and the Trophy Dash, which made him the overall event champion. The May 1976 issue of Bicycle Motocross News states that he retired around March 1976. <mask> would come out of retirement after a few months and compete in large races.

It was not easy to convince the various mataqalis to accept the scheme.The owners were being asked to give up control of their land and give it to a central authority that would act in the national interest.

After explaining it to the people, he would leave and come back later to answer more questions. He would come back again and again, building a consensus in favor of the plan.
