 and Lines UltraMantis continued his tecnico turn by saving Mike Quackenbush and Frightmare from BDK. On July 23 UltraMantis <mask> into a final battle with BDK in the torneo cibernetico match on October 23.Two days later at Chikarasaurus Rex: King of Show he was joined by two hooded individuals by his side, while doing commentary for the show. On August 11 Chikara founder Mike Quackenbush answered UltraMantis' call to arms by joining his cibernetico team and he was followed a week later by another Chikara original, Eddie Kingston, who had been feuding with Claudio Castagnoli for over a year. On August 31 Quackenbush's regular tag team partner Jigsaw joined UltraMantis' cibernetico team. On September 10 UltraMantis <mask> announced that he had recruited rudo STIGMA, formerly Shane Storm, to his cibernetico team and sent out an invitation to another Chikara original, longtime rival Hallowicked, to join them, while also expressing his concern that Eddie Kingston, whom he dubbed a loose cannon, might not be a right fit for the team. On September 19 at Through Savage Progress Cuts the Jungle Line UltraMantis <mask> defeated Hallowicked in a singles match, but did not get an answer on whether he would join his cibernetico team or not. On September 28 UltraMantis reached out to Quackenbush to help him get Hallowicked to join the cibernetico team, while also announcing that he had recruited Icarus, the last of the four Chikara wrestlers, who performed on the promotion's first ever show, to join the team. On October 12 Hallowicked finally joined the cibernetico team on the condition that Eddie Kingston was allowed to remain on the team, which UltraMantis <mask> accepted.With Mike Quackenbush, Eddie Kingston, Jigsaw, STIGMA, Hallowicked and Icarus having joined UltraMantis <mask>, his cibernetico team was left just one man short. The final spot on Team Chikara was filled on October 19 by a new incarnation of Vökoder, who had been stalking Pinkie Sanchez since July. On October 23 UltraMantis <mask> led his team to the torneo cibernetico match, where they faced BDK, represented by captain Ares, Claudio Castagnoli, Daizee Haze, Delirious, Pinkie Sanchez, Sara Del Rey, Tim Donst and Tursas. During the match Vökoder was unmasked as Larry Sweeney, who then proceeded to eliminate Sanchez from the match, before being eliminated himself. UltraMantis managed to gain a measure of revenge on BDK by eliminating both its captain, Ares, and his former tag team partner, Delirious, from the match, before being eliminated himself by Tursas. In the end Eddie Kingston pinned Tursas to win the match. On November 21, UltraMantis <mask> was defeated by Ares in a Falls Count Anywhere match.During the match the two hooded figures, who had debuted in July, revealed themselves as Kodama and Obariyon, two Chikara newcomers, and attempted to interfere in the match to negate an interference from Tursas, but were summoned away by a third hooded figure. The Spectral Envoy (2010–2014)

At the season nine finale, Reality is Relative, on December 12, Hallowicked defeated UltraMantis <mask> in a singles match. After the match the third hooded figure from the previous month entered the arena and revealed himself as Sinn Bodhi. Bodhi then revealed that UltraMantis <mask> had come to him asking for his help against BDK and he had given him Obariyon and Kodama and now he had come for his payment, the Eye of Tyr. When UltraMantis was unable to produce the Eye of Tyr he was attacked by Obariyon, Kodama and the debuting Kobald. In the end, Hallowicked and Frightmare made the save for UltraMantis and chased Bodhi's group, later named The Batiri, out of the ring. Two days later UltraMantis revealed in a blog that after the debut of BDK, he had gone soul searching and ran into three strange beings, who while a possible asset to the Order of the Neo–Solar Temple, needed training.UltraMantis could not send them to the Chikara Wrestle Factory, which was run by BDK leader Claudio Castagnoli and turned to his old acquaintance Sinn Bodhi for help. Bodhi not only trained the three, but also made them obey him, not UltraMantis and with his actions cost him his match against Ares the previous month. At the season ten premiere, Chaos in the Sea of Lost Souls, on January 23, 2011, UltraMantis <mask> defeated Bodhi via disqualification, after being attacked by The Batiri. A rematch between UltraMantis <mask> and Bodhi took place on March 13, with Bodhi emerging victorious, while also tearing his opponent's mask to shreds. On April 11 UltraMantis <mask> announced his intention of righting his past wrongs and named his manipulation of Delirious in particular. On April 15, during the first night of the 2011 King of Trios, UltraMantis <mask>, Hallowicked and Frightmare, now known collectively as the Spectral Envoy, confronted the BDK trio of Tim Donst, Delirious and Jakob Hammermeier after their first round match. Delirious, seemingly remembering his former tag team partner Hallowicked, ran out of the building, after which the Spectral Envoy brawled backstage with BDK.Later in the night, the Spectral Envoy was eliminated from the King of Trios tournament in the first round by Team Dragon Gate (Akira Tozawa, KAGETORA and Super Shisa). On July 30, UltraMantis vowed to eliminate each member of BDK in order to get a one-on-one rematch with Ares and started by attacking Jakob Hammermeier during his match with Gregory Iron and followed that up by defeating Pinkie Sanchez on August 27. On September 18, Crossbones made his return to Chikara joining the Spectral Envoy in an eight-man tag team match, where they defeated Sinn Bodhi, Kobald, Kodama and Obariyon, when UltraMantis pinned Bodhi. With his feud with Bodhi behind him, UltraMantis sought to end his long rivalry with Ares by challenging him to a match at Chikara's first ever Internet pay-per-view, offering to put his mask on the line against Ares' Eye of Tyr. On November 13 at High Noon, UltraMantis and Hallowicked defeated Ares and Tim Donst in a No Disqualification match with UltraMantis pinning Ares to regain the Eye of Tyr. In winning the match, UltraMantis and Hallowicked also picked up their third point, earning the right to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas. UltraMantis first used the Eye of Tyr to get rid of Sinn Bodhi, handing him what was later revealed as a fake replica, which led to Bodhi parting ways with the promotion.On the DVD release of The Thirteenth Hat, UltraMantis used the Eye of Tyr to release Delirious from BDK, after which Delirious grabbed the artifact and destroyed it. On February 25, UltraMantis and Hallowicked challenged F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor and Icarus) for the Campeonatos de Parejas, but were defeated when Delirious made his return and cost the two the match. The next evening in Long Island, Delirious announced that he would be targeting UltraMantis until 2014 to gain revenge for the two years that UltraMantis had cost him by using the Eye of Tyr on him. On September 14, UltraMantis, Frightmare and Hallowicked entered the 2012 King of Trios, defeating Mihara, The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger and Tito Santana in their first round match. The following day, the Spectral Envoy advanced to the semifinals of the tournament, after defeating Delirious' new protégés, Kobald, Kodama and Obariyon of The Batiri. However, following the match, the Spectral Envoy was attacked by members of The Batiri and Ophidian, another new associate of Delirious.On the third and final day of the tournament, the Spectral Envoy first defeated F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor, Icarus and Johnny Gargano) in the semifinals and then Team ROH (Mike Bennett, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) in the finals, despite interference from Delirious, The Batiri and Ophidian, to win the 2012 King of Trios. At the following event on October 6, UltraMantis <mask> and Hallowicked defeated Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr.) to pick up their third point and earn the right to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas. They received their title shot on November 10, but were defeated by the defending Campeones, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson), following interference from Ophidian and The Batiri. On December 2 at Chikara's third internet pay-per-view, Under the Hood, UltraMantis <mask> led Frightmare, Hallowicked and the returning Blind Rage and Crossbones to a ten-man tag team match, where they defeated Delirious, Kobald, Kodama, Obariyon and Ophidian, with UltraMantis pinning Delirious for the win. After a one-year hiatus, Chikara returned on May 25, 2014, with the You Only Live Twice internet pay-per-view. The Spectral Envoy worked the event's first match, where they were defeated by the new BDK of Ares, Nøkken and Tursas.On September 19, The Spectral Envoy entered the 2014 King of Trios as the defending tournament winners. They were, however, eliminated in their first round match by Eddie Kingston, Jimmy Jacobs and Volgar, representing Chikara's new top rudo stable The Flood, after their stablemate Deucalion brought out Delirious to attack UltraMantis. The feud between UltraMantis and Delirious culminated on December 6 at Tomorrow Never Dies, where UltraMantis defeated Delirious in a "Loser Leaves Chikara" match. However, following the match, Delirious used the Eye of Tyr, which the Flood had managed to put back together, to turn Hallowicked and Frightmare against UltraMantis. The Arcane Horde and The heXed Men (2015–2016)
In early 2015, Chikara started the Challenge of the Immortals tournament with UltraMantis <mask> appointed captain of one of the ten teams. In the draft, he picked Kodama, Obariyon and Oleg the Usurper for his team, named "The Arcane Horde". On September 9, UltraMantis announced he was forced to retire from professional wrestling due to leg injuries he had suffered over the past few months.Afterwards, <mask> <mask> continued appearing for Chikara as a manager for the Arcane Horde. In April 2016, he entered a storyline, where Hallowicked and Frightmare used the Eye of Tyr to turn him to their side. UltraMantis himself then took control of Icarus, Kodama and Obariyon's minds to add them to the new group. On December 3, after the heXed Men had been defeated in the 2016 torneo cibernetico, Ophidian stole the Eye of Tyr from UltraMantis <mask>, releasing him from under its spell. This led to UltraMantis standing up from his wheelchair, saying he remembered everything and chasing Hallowicked from the ring. Grand Champion (2017)
On February 4, 2017, UltraMantis <mask> appeared at Chikara's season 18 opener, seemingly announcing his return to in-ring action. During the announcement UltraMantis wore the Grand Championship belt, which was last held by Hallowicked.It was later confirmed that <mask> <mask> was the actual Grand Champion, having won the title during season 17, which had been taped at the end of 2016 on December 29th. He lost the title to Juan Francisco de Coronado on April 1. On May 27, UltraMantis <mask> teamed up with Dasher Hatfield, Icarus, Ophidian and the returning Mister Zero to defeat Frightmare, Hallowicked, El Hijo del Ice Cream, Juan Francisco de Coronado and the returning Gran Akuma in a ten-man tag team match. This match was said to be his final match in Chikara. Absolute Intense Wrestling (2013)

Eleanor Josephine Medill "<mask><mask>, Countess Gizycki (November 7, 1881 – July 24, 1948) was an American journalist and newspaper editor, publisher and owner. <mask> was one of the first women to head a major daily newspaper, the Washington Times-Herald in Washington, D.C. Early life
<mask> was born in Chicago, Illinois, on November 7, 1881, to the daughter of Robert and Elinor "Nellie" ( Medill) <mask>. She would change the spelling of her first name to "Eleanor" as an adult, but would always be known as "<mask>," the name her brother gave her in childhood. Her grandfather, Joseph Medill, was Mayor of Chicago and owned the Chicago Tribune, which later passed into the hands of her first cousin Colonel Robert R. McCormick, Joseph Medill's grandson. Her older brother, <mask>, was the founder of the New York Daily News. Education and marriage
She was educated at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut.When her uncle Robert S. McCormick was named ambassador to Austria-Hungary, she accompanied him and his wife, <mask>'s maternal aunt Kate, to Vienna. There she met Count Josef Gizycki and fell in love with him, a romance not interrupted even by her return to America, where she lived in Washington, D.C. In Washington, she was a leading light in society, where the press labeled Alice Roosevelt (daughter of Theodore), Marguerite Cassini (daughter of the Russian ambassador), and <mask> the "Three Graces." Count Gizycki came to America and they were married in Washington on April 14, 1904 despite her family's objections. A daughter was born to them September 3, 1905, and was named Felicia Leonora (1905–1999). Cissy went with the Count to his home, a huge feudal manor in Russian Poland. Their family life did not go well.They separated and then rejoined several times, but eventually <mask> set herself on leaving. She took their child, hiding her in a house near London, but the Count pursued her and kidnapped the little Countess, hiding her in an Austrian convent. Cissy filed for divorce, which took thirteen years to obtain. Business dealings and social life
After her experience abroad, she moved to Lake Forest, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, but she returned to Washington in 1913. In 1920, her brother Joseph finally succumbed to his sister's entreaties and allowed her to write for his New York Daily News, founded the previous year. She also worked for William Randolph Hearst. She published two novels, romans à clef, Glass Houses (1926) and Fall Flight (1928), part of her feud with former friend Alice Roosevelt Longworth.In 1925, Eleanor married Elmer Schlesinger, a New York lawyer. He died four years later and in 1930, Mrs. Schlesinger legally changed her name to Mrs. Eleanor Medill <mask>. <mask> tried to buy Hearst's two Washington papers, the morning Washington Herald and the evening Washington Times. However, Hearst hated to sell anything, even when he needed the money. Although he had never made money from his Washington papers, he refused to give up the prestige of owning papers in the capital. However, at the urging of his editor Arthur Brisbane, Hearst agreed to make <mask> the papers' editor. She began work on August 1, 1930.<mask> was a hands-on editor who insisted on the best of everything—writing, layout, typography, images, and comics. She encouraged society reporting and the women's page and hired many women as reporters including Adela Rogers St. Johns and Martha Blair. In 1936, she was invited to join the American Society of Newspaper Editors. <mask> shifted the papers' editorial stance sharply to the right. In April 1931, <mask> purchased Mount Airy, a mansion built by Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore, in the 1600s. Located on extensive grounds near Rosaryville, Maryland, since about 1910 the mansion's owners had operated it as Dower House, an exclusive restaurant, but it suffered a severe fire in February 1931. <mask> not only meticulously restored the mansion, but improved the stables, added a guest house, and built a greenhouse for growing orchids.In 1937, Hearst's finances had gotten worse and he agreed to lease the Herald and the Times to <mask> with an option to buy. Eugene Meyer, the man who had outbid Hearst and <mask> for The Washington Post in 1933, tried to buy the Herald out from under <mask>, but failed. Instead, she bought both papers from Hearst on January 28, 1939, and merged them as the Times-Herald. Along with her brother at the New York Daily News and her cousin at the Chicago Tribune, <mask> was an unyielding conservative. She was an ardent isolationist and opponent of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1942, after the Battle of Midway, the Times-Herald ran a Tribune story that revealed American intelligence was reading the Japanese naval code. Roosevelt, furious, had the Tribune and the Times-Herald indicted for espionage but backed down because of the publicity, charges he was persecuting his enemies, and the likelihood of an acquittal (since the Navy's own censors had twice cleared the story before it was published).During World War II, she and her brother were accused of being Nazi sympathizers. Representative Elmer Holland of Pennsylvania said on the floor of the United States House of Representatives that the <mask>s "would welcome the victory of Hitler." Family difficulties
She feuded with her daughter, who publicly "divorced" her in 1945, and with her former son-in-law, Drew Pearson, by whom she had a granddaughter, Ellen Cameron Pearson Arnold (1926–2010). An alcoholic for most of her adult life, she died of a heart attack at age 66 at Mount Airy. She left the paper to seven of her editors who within the year sold it to her cousin Colonel McCormick. He held onto the paper for five years, and although for several years he seemed close to returning it to profitability, it eventually proved too great a financial drain. After quietly sounding out several other publishers, McCormick opted to sell the paper to the rival Post, which promptly closed it.As Countess Gizycki, <mask> was a frequent visitor to her ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in the 1920s where Donald Hough records an unexpected aspect of her personality: the ability to speak effectively to horses in language worthy of a native cowboy. The Flat Creek Ranch is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Family tree

title: Tito Rodríguez

texts:
<mask> (January 4, 1923 – February 28, 1973), better known as <mask>, was a Puerto Rican singer and bandleader. He started his career singing under the tutelage of his brother, <mask>. In the 1940s, both moved to New York, where <mask> worked as a percussionist in several popular rhumba ensembles, before directing his own group to great success during the 1950s. His most prolific years coincided with the peak of the mambo and cha-cha-cha dance craze. He also recorded boleros, sones, guarachas and pachangas. <mask> is known by many fans as "El Inolvidable" (The Unforgettable One), a moniker based on his most popular song, a bolero written by Cuban composer Julio Gutiérrez. Early years
<mask> was born in Barrio Obrero, Santurce, Puerto Rico, to <mask> from San Sebastián, Puerto Rico, and Severina Lozada from Holguín, Cuba.During his childhood he aspired to be a jockey and tried out racing horses at Hipódromo Las Casas in Villa Palmera, Santurce. His older brother, <mask> was a popular singer and composer, who inspired the younger <mask> to become a musician. In 1936, 13-year-old <mask> joined the group of Ladislao (El Maestro Ladí) Martínez, Conjunto de Industrias Nativas, as a singer. When he was 16 years old, he participated in a recording with the renowned Cuarteto Mayarí. In 1940, <mask> moved to New York City shortly after his parents, José and Severina, died. He went to live with his brother Johnny, who had been living there since 1935. Musical career

Beginnings as a musician
In New York, <mask> was hired as a singer and bongó player for the orchestra of Eric Madriguera.In 1941, he recorded "Amor Guajiro", "Acércate Más" (Come Closer) and "Se Fue la Comparsa". In 1942, <mask> joined the band of Xavier Cugat, and recorded "Bim, bam, bum" and "Ensalada de congas" (Conga Salad). <mask> joined and served in the U.S. Army for one year. After he was discharged, he returned to New York where he joined the orchestra of José Curbelo. On one occasion, the band performed at the China Doll Cabaret. There he met a young Japanese chorus girl by the name of Tobi Kei (b. Takeko Kunimatsu), who eventually became his wife. Success as a bandleader
In 1947, <mask> made his "solo" debut and finally organized his own band, which he named "Los Diablos del Mambo" ("the mambo devils").He renamed his band "Los Lobos del Mambo" ("the mambo wolves") and later dropped the name altogether, deciding to go with "The Tito Rodríguez Orchestra". The first song that he recorded under the band's new name which became a "hit" was "Bésame La Bembita" (Kiss My Big Lips). In 1952, he was honored for having developed his own unique singing style (early in his career he had been heavily influenced, as had so many other singers, such as the Cuban vocalist Miguelito Valdés) by the "Century Conservatory of Music of New York". His orchestra won the "Gran Trofeo Award" for two consecutive years. In 1953, <mask> heard a percussionist by the name of Cheo Feliciano. He was so impressed with Feliciano that he offered him a job in his band as a band boy. <mask> discovered that Feliciano also knew how to sing and gave him an opportunity to sing at the popular Palladium Ballroom.Eventually, Feliciano went to work for another band, but the friendship between the two lasted for the rest of their lives. Among the other orchestras that played at the Palladium were the Machito, <mask>uente and Charlie Palmieri orchestras. The popular Latin music craze at the time was the chachachá and the mambo. At the peak of his popularity during the 1950s, <mask> was only rivalled by <mask> in New York's Latin music circuit. Although described by historians and musicians alike (including both <mask>s) as "a friendly rivalry", their purported feud became a sort of urban legend in the salsa world. For example, <mask>'s version of "Avísale a mi contrario" has been often cited as an example of such "feud", despite the fact that the song was written by Ignacio Piñeiro in 1906. United Artists years
In the beginning of the 1960s, the popularity gained by rock music brought changes.Latin bands began to switch their styles and started playing more salsa and boogaloo, which was more attractive to Latin youth of the day. <mask> then tried his luck with boleros and recorded various albums for the United Artists label, spawning various hit songs such as "Inolvidable", composed by Julio Gutiérrez, and "En la soledad", composed by Puchi Balseiro. "Inolvidable" sold over a million and a half copies world-wide in 1963. He also produced records for other groups, such as Los Hispanos and Los Montemar. Later years
<mask> returned to Puerto Rico in 1966 and built a Japanese-style house in Ocean Park, Santurce, where he lived with his family. <mask> produced his own television show called "El Show de Tito Rodríguez" which was transmitted through San Juan's television Channel 7 (whose call letters were WRIK-TV at the time). Among the guest stars that appeared on his show were Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Bennett, Shirley Bassey, Roberto Clemente and Orlando Cepeda.<mask> also founded his own recording studio/label called TR Records. <mask>'s last public appearance was with Machito and his band on February 2, 1973 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. <mask> died of leukemia on February 28, 1973. Legacy
In April 1999, <mask> was represented by his son, <mask> Jr., in the induction ceremonies of the International Latin Music Hall of Fame. The <mask>'s Japanese-style house in Puerto Rico is featured in tours of the San Juan metropolitan area. The aforementioned Cheo Feliciano recorded a tribute to <mask> honoring his memory. In August 2010, reggae band Cultura Profética released the song "Me faltabas tú" on the album "La Dulzura", where the band plays <mask>'s song in a modern bolero style.Selected discography

Represented by Columbia Records (now Sony International), most of these albums were originally recorded by the Musicor label, which was later sold to West Side Latino records. <mask> also recorded for RCA, Seeco Records, SMC, United Artist Records and his own label, TR records.

She later returned to university for additional graduate education, earning a doctorate in 1973 in American studies from Emory University in Atlanta. <mask> became an elementary school teacher in Orangeburg, teaching third grade. Like the rest of the state, the city had segregated public schools. Whites used economic retaliation to try to suppress civil rights activism in the 1960s and fired <mask> in 1964.She challenged the action in a civil suit and won restoration to her job, but she and her husband decided to leave the area. Later <mask> moved to Virginia for a job teaching English at Norfolk State College, now Norfolk State University. From 1968–1970, she directed African-American studies at American International College in Springfield, Massachusetts. After completing her doctorate, in 1973 <mask> began teaching at Clark Atlanta University. She continued there for her remaining academic career until retirement in 1993. Civil rights activity
<mask> became active in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s, which in Orangeburg was based in the congregation of the Trinity United Methodist Church. Protestors always prayed before going to a demonstration.<mask> had long been involved with the church, having been president of the Methodist Youth Fellowship on the state level even before entering Claflin as a student; it was a Methodist-founded college. Later, she volunteered and recruited for the NAACP, eventually becoming central in what became known as the "Orangeburg Freedom Movement." She became an officer in the local NAACP. In October 1961, <mask> was arrested for sitting in the whites only waiting area of Orangeburg hospital with her daughter Jamelle, whom she had taken to the emergency room for an injured finger. She had been directed to the "colored" waiting area, a pile of crates and a space next to a soda machine. <mask> returned to the whites-only area; she was arrested. She was defended in court by Matthew J. Perry, whose defense of her was so vigorous that he was charged with contempt of court and briefly jailed.<mask> and her daughter filed a civil lawsuit, Rackley v. Tri-County Hospital, against the officials of the hospital, asserting that the operation of separate facilities violated her constitutional rights. <mask> won her suit, the criminal case was dropped, and the facility was integrated at a time when the state still had segregated public facilities. The Orangeburg case attracted national attention and activist Dr. Martin Luther King visited the city. The Orangeburg County chapter of the NAACP made the integration of public schools its priority; the chapter members were visited often by Roy Wilkins and Thurgood Marshall of the NAACP; the latter had successfully argued the landmark desegregation case, Brown v. Board of Education (1954), before the United States Supreme Court. <mask>, then known by her married name of Rackley, began to participate and lead nonviolent demonstrations to desegregate the schools, hospitals, and other public accommodations in the city. Her daughters accompanied her at protests. Once, she and her daughter Lurma missed a court appearance because they were arrested when they used the "whites only" restroom in the county courthouse.Because <mask> was acting outside the standard for black women, her regular public protests were vilified in the white press, which described her as "dangerously wild". Even some blacks avoided her for fear of being linked with her, as the white community was trying to repress activism by economic retaliation against all suspected activists: firing some, evicting people from rental housing, and boycotting businesses or preventing loans. Rackley's parents were concerned: her father supported her activities but her mother was worried not only but Rackley but the participation of her daughters in these activities. The white superintendent of schools fired <mask>ckley as a third-grade teacher from the Negro schools and South Carolina State University did not renew her husband's teaching contract. At this news, blacks boycotted Orangeburg's seven Negro schools. Demonstrations included one in which 57 minors marched in protest; they were arrested for breach of peace and spent a night in jail. Rackley was invited by the United Federation of Teachers in New York City to speak at a civil rights rally in December 1963, along with nationally known author James Baldwin.In the dismissal letter, the superintendent of schools wrote that <mask> was "rabid in her zeal for social change and was unfit to be a teacher." <mask> filed a civil lawsuit against the school district for her dismissal and won restoration to her job. After passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, <mask> felt she could leave the city. She moved to Norfolk, Virginia, taking a job at Norfolk State University. Later she moved to Atlanta, gaining her doctorate from Emory University and teaching at Clark Atlanta University. Personal life
Known for her beauty as well as her activism, <mask> was often asked why she didn't get plastic surgery to remove the scar on her face from the car accident that killed her oldest daughter. She said that after losing her child, a scar was unimportant.<mask> was married a total of five times, twice to the same man after an interval of more than 30 years. During the civil rights era, she was known in Orangeburg by her then-married name of Rackley. Later, to avoid confusion, <mask> chose to use her maiden name as her professional name. After being divorced from Rackley, <mask> married Louis C. Frayser. They divorced in 1970. They remarried in 2007 (her fifth marriage). In 1987 at the age of 60, <mask> and her fourth husband, Charles DeJournette, adopted a son.Five years later they adopted his brother. In retirement, <mask> continued to speak to groups about her experiences in the civil rights movement, encouraging younger people to work for social justice. While living in Atlanta, she also worked to raise money and support to restore Martin Luther King's boyhood home. Since 1980 it has been designated as one of the contributing buildings of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site. Honors
At her death in 2010, Congressman James Clyburn called <mask> "fearless" and said, "She was just a tremendous spirit." Richard Reid, president of the Orangeburg Historical and Genealogical Society, said, "The actions taken by Mrs. Rackley by far placed her in the same class as that of Rosa Parks and South Carolina's own Septima Clark and Modjeska Simkins. Around Orangeburg, the name ... <mask> ... was pretty much a 'household name.'"In January 2011, <mask> was honored posthumously in Dillon County, the place of her birth, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a Lifetime Community Service Award.

texts:
<mask> (born June 2, 1951) is an American political activist and writer in Happy Valley, Oregon, United States. <mask> has never held elected office, but has nonetheless been a major political figure in Oregon since the 1990s. He is considered one of the main proponents of the Oregon tax revolt, a movement that seeks to reduce taxes in the state. Oregon Taxpayers United, a political action committee he founded in 1993, has advanced numerous ballot initiatives limiting taxation, and has opposed spending initiatives. <mask> made an unsuccessful run for Governor of Oregon in 1998. He also announced his intention to run for governor in 2010, but was indicted by the state on charges of tax evasion. The charges were later amended to failure to file tax returns.Early life
<mask> was born in Aberdeen, Washington on June 2, 1951. He graduated from Montesano High School in Montesano, Washington where he played varsity basketball and was voted by his teammates as the best defensive player and most inspirational player. He earned a degree in theology from Portland Bible College in 1976. After graduating, Sizemore taught Old Testament History and Systematic Christian Theology at Portland Bible College and ran a series of businesses, including a retail carpet business, a toy manufacturing company, and two Portland radio stations. For four years he hosted the <mask> Show, a two-hour daily news/talk program on Great Talk 1150 AM. Ballot initiatives
In 1993, <mask> founded Oregon Taxpayers United and became its executive director. He is noted as the author and driving force behind a number of ballot initiatives in Oregon.One of the first measures <mask> was involved in was a referendum which stopped Portland's $3.4 billion light rail expansion. <mask> added several initiatives in 2008. <mask>'s most notable success was passing Measure 47 in 1996. The measure rolled back property taxes to 1995 levels. Measure 47 also mandated a double majority for ballot measures increasing taxes. With <mask>'s assistance, the Oregon Legislative Assembly amended some of the provisions of Measure 47 in 1997, and referred the amendments back to the voters as Measure 50, which also passed. In 2000, Sizemore drafted and placed on the ballot Measure 7, which required governments to pay just compensation to property owners when a government-imposed regulation reduced the fair market value of their property.Oregon voters approved Measure 7, but the Oregon Supreme Court later nullified it. A similar measure,  2004's Measure 37, subsequently passed, and was amended by 2007's Measure 49. 1998 gubernatorial election
<mask> ran for Governor of Oregon as a Republican in 1998. He won his party's primary, defeating the Republican Party Chairman and three other candidates who had little or no name recognition. During the general election, The Oregonian ran three major articles detailing <mask>'s alleged shady business practices, both in private business and in the operation of his political action committee and non-profit educational foundation. These included one about a "Trail of Debt" he had allegedly left behind, one of which involved an outstanding loan from a fellow church member, which Sizemore says was eventually repaid; one about a fishing club on a private lake, to which he tried to sell memberships before obtaining state permission; and one about an apparently falsified loan application on which he claimed not to have declared bankruptcy when, in fact, he had done so. Sizemore said he did not check the boxes on the loan application relating to bankruptcy and that the loan officer who submitted the application did that on his own.<mask> lost the November general election to incumbent Governor John Kitzhaber, a Democrat. <mask> won 30% of the vote, to Kitzhaber's 64%. Racketeering case

In July 2000, the Oregon Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against two of Sizemore's organizations: Oregon Taxpayers United and the OTU Education Foundation. <mask> was not named personally as a defendant or party to the case. During the trial Becky Miller, Sizemore's top aide, under protection of state and federal immunity deals, testified in detail about allegedly unethical and illegal practices of Oregon Taxpayers United. These included alleged money laundering involving both <mask> and Americans for Tax Reform founder Grover Norquist, as well as falsification of federal tax returns and state campaign finance reports. Additional testimony reported financial deals allegedly designed to disguise or hide the sources of funding for campaigns, as well as to allow Sizemore to personally profit from the campaigns.After three weeks of testimony and a million dollars in union legal fees, the jury found <mask>'s organizations guilty of racketeering, and the organizations were fined approximately $2.5 million. <mask> refused to pay the fines and attempted to continue doing business by changing the name of his organizations to Oregon Taxpayers Association and carrying on with business as usual. After a post-trial hearing in which no evidence was submitted <mask> was found personally liable for his organization's civil racketeering liability, and the judge shut down his 501(c)(3) education foundation. On appeal both sides claimed victory, as the Oregon Taxpayers United organizations were found liable for the judgments but the personal judgment against Sizemore was nullified by the Oregon Supreme Court. The judge handling the case, Judge Jerome LaBarre,  recused himself three years later, informing attorneys that his son was a teachers union member and had been recently elected union president of the Woodburn local. Measure 42 in 2006
In 2006, <mask> broke with his pattern of anti-tax measures by filing Measure 42, a consumer-oriented bill that would have denied insurance companies the ability to take credit scores into account when setting insurance premiums. In the most expensive Oregon ballot measure campaign of 2006, the insurance industry spent $4 million to defeat the measure.The campaign to defeat the measure, which focused heavily on <mask>'s credibility, was successful. Arrest in 2008
On December 1, 2008, <mask> was sent to jail after a Multnomah County judge found him in contempt of court for the fourth time in his long-running legal battle with two Oregon teachers unions. Multnomah County Circuit Judge Janice R. Wilson ordered <mask>, who was not an officer of the corporation, jailed until he signed and filed federal and state tax forms that charitable organizations are required to complete to maintain their tax-exempt status. He was released the next day on December 2, 2008. 2010 gubernatorial election
On November 23, <mask> announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Oregon in 2010. On November 30, <mask> and his wife were indicted by the State of Oregon on charges of tax evasion for failing to file state income tax returns for the years 2006–2008. He had previously acknowledged failing to file in sworn testimony and was indicted after he failed to file during Oregon's tax amnesty ended on November 19.Sizemore called the charges politically inspired and said he had paid $51,000 in estimated taxes for 2006 and 2007, but could not file actual returns until an ongoing civil case resolved the amount of his income for the years in question. Teachers union and Department of Justice lawyers had claimed in court that Sizemore had personally taken $850,000 from a nonprofit he had been running, but a later audit by the Oregon Department of Revenue determined that <mask>'s income for the three years in question was $392,000, $500,000 less than the teachers unions and Oregon DOJ lawyers had claimed. In 2011, after the judge in the case ruled that Sizemore would not be allowed to put on any defense, he pleaded guilty to three counts of felony failure to file state income-tax returns, with a plea agreement to serve 30 days jail and 3 years probation. Three years later Marion County Judge Claudia Burton retroactively converted the felonies to misdemeanors and all of Sizemore's rights were restored. See also

title: Haleh Jamali

texts:
<mask> (Persian: هاله جمالی) is an Iranian artist currently living and working in Scotland. She works with a wide range of media and techniques that include painting, photography, installation, video, and performance. She completed her Bachelors of Arts in Painting at the College of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, in 2005. In 2007, she received her MA in Art and Media Practice from the University of Westminster, London. Her works focus on the hidden layers beneath the visible by using the media of painting and installation. Paintings
Jamali’s interest in portraiture and narrative is inspired by her desire to address the social aspects of representation, particularly of the female gender. Jamali states: “For me, the diversity, versatility, and unrivaled ability of portraits to communicate, make them an enigma.Indeed, my particular concern is to reveal the paradoxes and ambiguities behind the eyes of the portrait subject who tries to communicate emotions, arrest attention, and often express feelings of both attraction and repulsion." Jamali encourages an intimate relationship between the viewer and the subject; she considers how an individual’s identity can be constructed in relation to Others, while simultaneously suggesting that the Self and the Other are inseparable. In September 2014, Haleh trained at Charles H. Cecil Studios for advanced portraiture painting in Florence, Italy. Installation and video works
<mask>'s installations and video works are often focused on themes of identity. She has been included in exhibitions such as the Finalist Exhibition of 6°Arte Laguna Prize; Nappe of Arsenale of Venice, Italy; Fashion Art Toronto Festival; multi-arts event, Toronto, Canada; HB55 Räume der Kunst, Berlin, Germany;  Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, Toronto-Canada; Edinburgh Iranian Festival, Edinburgh, UK; and La Viande Gallery, London, UK. For Someone who is not like anyone (2007), she created a single-screen video installation exploring the depth of female identity that is primarily based on women's appearance by focusing on how their identity can be made fluid by different types of clothing. This video first exhibited in relation to the installation it originally animated.It was a chamber surrounded by transparent black fabric through which the viewer can see a distant video image: a series of portrait images on a different plane. The painting was placed at the entrance of the installation. When the audience entered the installation, they would see a glass bin, which held a reflection of both the changing projected photographic portrait and the viewer. The glass served as a mirror to cause the audience to identify themselves as "the Other". In response, viewers were encouraged to develop their own narrative from their life experiences. In Departure (2011), she collaborated for the first time with a performer, Monica De Ioanni. In this work, a figure was set against a white ground wrapped in fabric to create different shapes, sometimes abstract ones.Jamali was fascinated by the relationship between women and fabric and more specifically, the drapes and forms created by the veil and the invisible gaze of the veiled women. De Ioanni used fabric as a symbol to show the struggles and sometimes the frustration of individuals whose identities have been disguised. In Layers (2011), Jamali presented her self-portrait in two large-scale simultaneous projections that moved in coordinated timing. In the first projection, she applied clay to her face to cover the surface, while in the second projection, she wipes her face with her hand to reveal her face underneath. By exploring the notion of masking identity, Haleh focused on the themes of alienation and transformation of one's self. Press
<mask> was interviewed by the press, including Shargh newspaper during her exhibition in the Atbin gallery in 2005, Voice of America's Persian News Network (VOA) (Shabahang program) in 2010, Kahkeshan TV during her exhibition as a part of Edinburgh Iranian Festival in 2011, and Jadid Online and BBC Radio Scotland in 2012.

Millwall
<mask> began his career in the Millwall youth system. On 22 February 2003, he made his professional debut as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion. In doing so, at 15 years and 240 days, he became the youngest player to make a first team appearance for Millwall and the youngest player to make his Football League debut between 1988 and 2008.He made a further four substitute appearances during the 2002–03 season, and was chosen by the club's youth academy staff as Millwall's Schoolboy of the Year award for a second successive season. <mask>'s career at Millwall effectively ended in February 2004 after a training ground incident that reportedly saw him threaten teammate Mark McCammon with a plastic knife.

I've had a few arguments with players but no big issues. People don't know what happened back then at Millwall but don't seem to want to let it go. They should ask me if they want to find out the truth. I was being bullied at the time and it did not damage my career because I went on to join West Ham." Career statistics

title: Maggie Diaz

texts:
<mask> (25 February 1925 – 16 October 2016) was an American-born Australian photographer who lived and worked in Melbourne from 1961. The Diaz Collection dates back to 1950s Chicago and the archive has been acquired by the State Library of Victoria, with work in the collections of the National Library of Australia and the National Gallery of Australia. In 2011 <mask> was featured as the sole woman in a group exhibition at the State Library of Victoria titled As Modern as Tomorrow, Photographers in Post war Melbourne. <mask>' work is marked by the contrast between the glamorous commercial world and those outsiders and misfits with whom she felt a connection. Early life
<mask> was born Margaret Eunice Reid on 25 February 1925 in Kansas City, Missouri, "out of wedlock" and spent her early childhood years in New York. As a teenager during the World War II she worked in a steel mill and bakeries to support her family. By the time she was 20, she was diagnosed as "difficult and depressed".She was given electro shock treatment c1945 – 1946 and encouraged to find work as a domestic help. In 1949, <mask> received a telegram from her brother Tom, who was a professional skater in the Harry Blackstone Magic Show – "Blackstone wants another girl, send a picture!" She was sent the fare to join the show and toured America during 1949 and 1950 season. The following year, she became a Girl Friday in an advertising agency while attending art school at night – initially doing "spot sketches". She was asked to go out with photographers, as an assistant and eventually the agency provided <mask> with her own camera, which she paid off from her wages. <mask>' early 35mm work begins at this time, recording children in the neighbourhood and life on the streets of Chicago. Photography career in USA – 1950s
<mask> adopted the name "<mask>" after Betty Besson who was in the magic show and who married her brother Tom Reid.At around this time, she won a photography prize in the Chicago Tribune with a portrait of a young man in a tunnel. The $500 prize allowed her to begin her work as a freelance photographer. During the 1950s, <mask> became resident photographer at Chicago's famous cultural hub The Tavern Club. The club was founded in 1927 "to encourage the arts, intellectual recreation and good humored interest in life." <mask> captured images of patrons, dancers and many Jazz greats including the Ramsey Lewis Trio. She also produced pictorial yearbooks for The Tavern Club in 1957 and 1958. While at the Tavern Club, <mask> was mentor to young dancer Dallas Kinney—now Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist.Dallas Kinney thanked <mask> for her part in launching his photo journalism career on YouTube. Between 1956 and 1959 and in a juxtaposition of wealth and poverty that was to mark her later work, <mask> documented Lower North Center for the City of Chicago – a "mixed" housing development for the underprivileged to promote the creation of community structure and educational programs including sewing classes, a ballet school, dances and religious ceremonies. This project was part of Francis Cabrini Homes and later known as "Cabrini Green". By the 1970s it was notorious for its gang wars and violence and was demolished in 2011. In the late 1950s <mask> married Australian graphic artist, Clement Fraser and was intrigued by his stories of Australia. The marriage did not last but <mask>' fascination with Australia did. <mask> arrives in Melbourne – 1960s

Known as "<mask> Besson Fraser", <mask> arrived in Melbourne in 1961 on a one-way ticket (a divorce gift from her ex-husband Clement Fraser), and soon established herself has one of the city's leading commercial photographers.<mask> depicted Melbourne "battlers" in a The Brotherhood of St Laurence Annual Report 1962-63 and was commissioned by the City of Melbourne to produce some night shots to promote the city. She worked on many commercial campaigns, always shooting for herself. Many of these photographs were never seen by the client and not printed until 40 years later. One of these photographs, "Girl Hero", an image taken for Paddle Shoes, is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. <mask> was resident photographer for 3AW in the mid 1960s and an article in The Age newspaper of 6 March 1964 notes that "A series of photographs which form part of the interior design of the new 3AW studios in the Southern Cross Plaza are the work of a woman." <mask> also took portraits of radio personalities, and followed the mobile studio to special events and beach carnivals. A breakfast advertisement featuring <mask>’ portrait of Peter James was featured in the Broadcasting and Television News of 23 July 1965.<mask> contributed to Group M's Photovision in 1964 exhibiting at John Reed's Museum of Modern Art with well-known contemporaries Wolfgang Sievers and Mark Strizic. During the mid-1960s <mask>' photographs were used in a Nilsen Company publication titled Printing is People c1966. <mask>' work was as an "example of excellence" and used to teach photography students at RMIT the use of available light. In 1964, while living in her Nicholson Street Fitzroy Studio, <mask> was introduced to the Spanish scene and recorded various troupes, well represented in the <mask> collection. This was a place where she felt truly comfortable for the first time since arriving in Melbourne. It had the vibrancy and diversity that she missed from her Chicago home. Here she met her future partner, <mask>, with whom she had a son, Stevan, in 1967.In 1968, <mask>, Jose and Stevan moved into a commercial studio in Martin Street Gardenvale with her ex-husband Clement Fraser. He had produced a map for the Liberal Government, titled, 'Australia the Awakening Giant'  and was making a good living selling it all over the country. When the Whitlam government won the election in 1972, the map was discontinued as a promotional tool and Clem left the studio lease to <mask> and Jose. Two photographs included in Walkabout magazine (c1966) and taken under the name of <mask> Fraser, are included in the State Library of NSW Library photography collection. The middle years – 1970s–1980s

Although they didn't marry, <mask> decided to take Jose's name and from thenceforth was known as "<mask>". During the 1970s, <mask> continued as a commercial photographer, with work from advertising agencies, such as Clemenger and Klempke. In 1975, The Toorak Times noted that <mask> "excels in art photography" while their front cover featured one of her photos Reticulated Lady.She was also commissioned to take a portrait of Sidney Nolan's mother in St Kilda at Edgewater Towers, Marine Parade in 1977. <mask> spent two years as staff photographer of Southern Cross News during this time – recording a huge range of events and personalities, including Tommy Hanlon from Ashton's Circus. In the 1980s, <mask> continued to operate a commercial studio in Martin Street, Gardenvale and became known for portraiture and actors' composites, forming alliances with Sascha Agency and JM Casting. One of <mask>' subjects, sixteen-year-old actor Gwendolen De Lacy, became a lifelong friend and would later be instrumental in archiving, curating and promoting <mask>' work. <mask> moved from her Gardenvale studio in the late 1980s and operated from a flat on Grosvenor Street, Balaclava, where she made a darkroom in a rundown shed and became known for photographing actors in doorways and laneways – always using available light. 1990s – The later years

<mask> had to move again and this time, she took an apartment around the corner in Gourlay Street, which had no darkroom; however, she continued with her work. Her knack for capturing the soul of the artist saw her portraiture of actors becoming a major interest.She photographed scores of plays at La Mama, The Courthouse and Playbox theatres in the 1990s. In the late 90s, partner Jose suffered a heart attack and <mask>' work started to wind down. In 2003, <mask> had a bad fall, which resulted in two months in Caulfield Hospital. Later that year, Jose died suddenly of a second heart attack. Collaboration with Gwendolen De Lacy

In 2004, <mask>' friend Gwendolen De Lacy, began archiving <mask>' collection. In 2005, some highlights from the extensive collection were presented as a slide show to two packed audiences at La Mama Theatre's Courthouse, to celebrate <mask>' 80th birthday. It was a sell-out event, which generated long-overdue interest in <mask>'s life and career, and prompted a mention in the Victorian State Parliament in a speech by Johan Scheffer; "Her life has been hard and this has been a rich treasure house of insight and inspiration for a great art."This led to her first retrospective exhibition – Into the Light, which opened at City of Melbourne Museum at Old Treasury in 2007. The exhibition was printed by photographic artist and printer Tiffaney Bishop. An Australian tour commenced and in 2008, <mask> featured on ABC 'Sunday Arts' television program. In 2010, the State Library of Victoria purchased Into the Light, the exhibition and the entire <mask> archive spanning 50 years of <mask>' work. Some of these images were included in a group show from the library collection. Called As Modern as Tomorrow: photographs in Post War Melbourne, The exhibition was held from 1 July 2011 to 5 February 2012 and included works by immigrant peers Mark Strizic and Wolfgang Sievers. Historian of photography Gael Newton commented in the State Library News that:

"The sole woman working in commercial illustration included in As Modern as Tomorrow is previously overlooked American immigrant <mask>, whose distinctively moody work has only quite recently been reintroduced to Melbourne viewers and acquired by the Library."In 2011, <mask> was selected as a Core Program Artist with the Ballarat International Foto Biennale and her exhibition One-way Ticket featured more than 35 images from the <mask> Collection that had never been seen before. This exhibition celebrated the first 25 of <mask>' life as an artist and commercial photographer. In 2012, the National Library of Australia purchased 18 of <mask>' photographs, catalogued under Australian life, 1960–1990 / <mask>. <mask> was subjected to extensive surgery for the removal of her left eye due to skin cancer. Following a fire in her home, she moved into long-term accommodation at Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda – her local stomping ground. She lived at Sacred Heart Mission until her death in October 2016. The <mask> Photography Prize for Women  has been awarded biennially since 2015, celebrating her life and contributions.It is open to women photographers of all ages, and the media release requests that the artists "should use available light", a feature of much of her work.
