He also set Love and Sacrifice and Jihadi Change as his official slogans. His candidacy was approved by the Guardian Council on 21 May 2013 along with seven other candidates. He was one of the opponents of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's candidacy and says it was better that Rafsanjani not enter the race, as he had served two terms before. He and two other candidates, Ali Akbar Velayati and Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, formed a coalition called "2+1". He was endorsed by former candidates, Alireza Ali Ahmadi and Sadeq Vaeez Zadeh.Ali Larijani, the current chairman of parliament, also supported Ghalibaf in the election.

<mask> (21 July 1936 – ) was a rugby union footballer of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s who played Rugby Union (RU) for Bradford RFC, Keighley RUFC Northern Command and Army Rugby Union, playing at Prop, i.e. number 1 or 3, and representative level Rugby Union (RU) for Yorkshire, and North Eastern counties. Early life

<mask> was born on 21 July 1936 at 20 Nell Lane in Withington, a suburb of Manchester where his rugby-playing father, also named <mask> and originally from Cardiff, had turned professional on 18 September 1935 with Broughton Rangers Rugby league Club who paid £100 for him to turn professional. Of which £90 was to buy him out of the Army leaving him £10 to start a new life in Manchester with his young family. Franks new club provided him with a job as a zookeeper at Belle Vue Zoological Gardens where Rangers played on the Belle Vue Stadium inside the Motorcycle Speedway track. At this time Belle Vue was the Leisure Centre for the North West of England. When <mask> senior was signed by Bradford Northern for a world record fee in 1938, the family crossed the Pennines.<mask> senior, a huge man with a matching presence on the field retired from the game in 1949 after an illustrious rugby career. After moving to Bradford the family lived at 109 Wibsey Park Avenue close to the Odsal Stadium home of Bradford Northern. <mask> attended Buttershaw St Paul's Church of England Primary School and later, after passing his 11-plus, Grange Boys' Grammar School. After leaving school he began an electrical apprenticeship before being called up for National Service. Rugby career Bradford RFC

<mask> (329 Appearances) and his brother <mask> (174 Appearances) went on to give long and loyal service to Bradford Rugby Football Club. They began their rugby careers with Sedbergh Boys' Club playing junior Rugby League. The club was based near to their home in Wibsey, Bradford, before switching to Bradford RFC.Under the guidance of the Bradford RFC second team captain, David Firth, both settled quickly to the union game and soon broke into the First Team. <mask> making his first appearance for the 1st team at 16 years, like his father before him as a prop forward, Brian made the 1st team age 17 as a back row forward. <mask> became part of a formidable front row with Peter Crowther at hooker and Peter Harrison at tight head prop the trio went on to play for Bradford together 12 years. <mask> captained Bradford for two seasons and played in their Yorkshire Cup winning side of 1966 against Harrogate at Cross Green, Otley in 1966 under the captaincy of Mike Dixon. Playing for Bradford – who had fixtures in London against the likes of Wasps and the Midlands including Coventry & Leicester Tigers – meant he was often away much of Saturday evening, the busiest time of the week at the Airedale Heifer, so he decided to play instead for Keighley RUFC a club he later captained. When his playing days were over in the first team he took over the second team captaincy for several seasons, ensuring the next generation of players knew how to do it the right way. <mask> was a life member at Keighley Rugby Club.Most Bradford RFC appearances

<mask> was the youngest player to play for Yorkshire, making his debut for the county as a prop forward at the age of 17. He went on to make 31 appearances for Yorkshire in the County Championship, including the County Championship Final of 1963 which Yorkshire lost in the last minutes 13 – 10 to Warwickshire at Coundon Road, Coventry. The Yorkshire side was captained by Bradford's Colin Heighton. In the same year he was named as a reserve for the England final trial at Twickenham. He represented the North Eastern Counties against Wilson Whineray's 5th New Zealand All Blacks team on their tour of Britain at the Great Yorkshire Show grounds Harrogate on 11 January 1964, a game the North Eastern Counties lost by 11–17. <mask> also played in Bradford's Yorkshire Cup winning team of 1966 in their 8–3 victory over Harrogate at Cross Green, Otley.<mask> did his national service and served with the Royal Corps of Signals who had an outstanding rugby team at this time. Here he represented the Army Rugby Union for a full season and was selected for his first cap against the Royal Navy at Twickenham. However, due to the death of his father he was unable to take his place in the Army team. Captain's gesture

Yorkshire Cup 1966. The team spirit that enabled Bradford to beat Harrogate in the Yorkshire Cup final at Otley was demonstrated when Mike Dixon and <mask> went up together at the end of the match to receive the trophy. <mask> the club's captain had been out of action for a good part of the season through injury and during his absence Dixon had taken over the leadership. So well did Bradford play that when <mask> returned from injury he insisted that Dixon should continue as captain and it was Dixon who last night led the side in their first cup final triumph for 41 years.With an equally sporting gesture Dixon insisted that <mask> should share with him the honour of receiving the cup.

title: Didier Pitre

texts:
<mask> "Cannonball" <mask> (September 1, 1883 – July 29, 1934) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. Nicknamed "Cannonball," he was renown for having one of the hardest shots during his playing career. One of the first players to join the Montreal Canadiens, <mask> and his teammates' French-Canadian heritage led to the team being nicknamed The Flying Frenchmen. His teammates on the Canadiens included Jack Laviolette and Newsy Lalonde. Though he spent the latter part of his career almost exclusively with the Canadiens, <mask> played for several other teams in various leagues early on, including the International Professional Hockey League, the first professional hockey league, and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. A prolific scorer, <mask> won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens in 1916, the first for the team. In 1963 he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.He was the uncle of Vic Desjardins, a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. Playing career

IPHL
<mask> <mask>'s first major hockey league experience was in the first fully professional league, the IPHL, playing with the Michigan Soo Indians alongside Jack Laviolette. Prior to that <mask> and Laviolette had played together on the Montreal Le National team in the Federal Amateur Hockey League. The Michigan Soo Indians were located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. <mask> joined the Soo team for the 1904–05 season. By 1905–06, he was the already the top scorer in the league scoring 41 goals in 22 games played.<mask> was on the IPHL First All-Star Team that year in 1905–06 and again in 1906–07. Despite <mask> and Laviolette playing three years for the Michigan Soo in the IPHL, the club failed to bring home a championship, finishing 3rd, 2nd and 4th in the league standing between 1905–1907. Montreal Shamrocks, Edmonton & Renfrew
The next season, in 1907–08, after the IPHL had folded, <mask> left as a free agent and played with the Montreal Shamrocks in the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA), where he was again joined by Jack Laviolette. <mask> lasted only one year with the Shamrocks before leaving to play with the Edmonton Pros in Alberta. With Edmonton Pitre played three games before he was part of a Stanley Cup challenge in December 1908 when his team challenged the Montreal Wanderers for the coveted prize, eventually losing out 10 goals to 13 (3-7, 7-6) over two games. After the Stanley Cup challenge with Edmonton Pitre jumped contract and went back to eastern Canada where he played with the Renfrew Creamery Kings in the FAHL for the remainder of the 1908–09 season. Montreal Canadiens

Pitre joined the Montreal Canadiens in 1910 in the newly founded National Hockey Association (NHA), the clubs first season of existence, where he teamed up with Jack Laviolette and Edouard "Newsy" Lalonde.He initially stayed for four years with the Canadiens, before leaving for the west again. <mask> spent a year playing with the Vancouver Millionaires in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) in 1913–14, after having been lured over by Vancouver Millionaires owner Frank Patrick, in a coast-to-coast trade that saw Newsy Lalonde go the other way to the Canadiens. <mask> returned to the Montreal Canadiens the next year, in 1914–15. In 1916, <mask> led the NHA in regular season assists and points. He scored 24 goals, 15 assists (assists in those days were one per goal and only if the official scorer thought it contributed to the goal being scored) for 39 points. He also helped lead the Canadiens to their first ever Stanley Cup, defeating Portland Rosebuds of the PCHA over five games. He led the playoffs in goals as well.In the 1919 Stanley Cup playoffs, which were never completed due to the influenza epidemic, he led the playoffs in points. By 1921, the Montreal Canadiens had so much depth at forward, and an opening on defence due to the death of future Hall of Famer Joe Hall in the influenza epidemic, so they decided to try Pitre as a defenceman; not as difficult a transition as one might think, because he had previously been a rover during the days of "seven man" hockey. He remained with the Montreal Canadiens through the formation of the NHL and into 1923. A forward throughout his career, Pitre played the final two seasons as a defenceman. Playing style
<mask> <mask>'s combination of speed, size and a hard shot made him one of the preeminent offensive players of his era. A forward and a right-handed shot, Pitre played predominantly on the right wing position, but he also figured occasionally on the old rover position before it was removed by the NHA in 1911–12. At times he was also used as a cover-point, and at the back end of his career with the Montreal Canadiens he would play as a defenceman.<mask>'s hard shot, which he would often fire from long range, was often dubbed a "bullet shot" in contemporary newspaper reports. In an interview with Mike Jay of the Vancouver Daily World in December 1913, while he was playing for the Vancouver Millionaires in the PCHA, Pitre explained that he generally used the center area of the stick blade while firing his shots, because it required considerable speed and strength to get the puck away. Pitre claimed that about 90 percent of the players instead used to shoot with the heel of the stick blade, because it was easier and felt more natural, but that his own favorite place to shoot from was the center area of the blade because it made it easier for him to "place" the puck. Regarding the "bullet shot" nickname, Pitre claimed that his teammates had come up with it after too many of his shots had rattled Montreal Wanderers net guardian Riley Hern. Although not considered one of the roughest players of his era, Pitre still had a bulky frame and could still handle himself physically if he had to, which in some seasons resulted in a fairly high amount of penalty minutes. Outside of ice hockey Pitre also played lacrosse, with the Montreal Nationals, and during the 1913 season he ended up in a Toronto police court after he had lost his temper during a game in Toronto on July 26, between the Nationals and the Torontos, and punched referee Thomas Humphreys in the face. <mask> claimed that he used a similar shot technique in hockey as he did in lacrosse, with the exception of a lower type of movement in his hockey shot and the speed amounted from his skating.According to player and executive Lester Patrick <mask> shot a "heavy puck," similar to the baseball parlance of a "heavy ball," and he also claimed that <mask> once had knocked a goaltender unconscious for three hours with a puck after it had struck him on the forehead. Patrick also praised <mask> as a "clear-headed thinker" on the ice, which he claimed is what made him into a superstar player. Legacy
At the end of his hockey career <mask> sold his business in Montreal and moved to Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, where he had once started out his professional hockey career. His nephew Vic Desjardins from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan would also play in the NHL, with the Chicago Black Hawks and New York Rangers, and would be inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. <mask> died on July 29, 1934 in Sault Ste.Marie, Michigan as a result of acute indigestion. In 1963 he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Career statistics

title: Roland St John

texts:
<mask>  (16 December 1914 – 3 October 1991) was Registrar of the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane from 1946 to 1974. The diocese comprised some 300 churches and covered an area of half a million square kilometers, reaching north to Bundaberg and south and west to the State borders. As its 'business manager' he restored its finances, improved its administration and guided it through a challenging period of expansion. As a leading Anglican layman, his influence reached beyond the diocese to the wider Church. Early life
Born at Boggabri NSW on 16 December 1914, 'Roley' was one of eight children of the Revd Canon <mask>, a Church of England parish priest in rural NSW, and his wife Hannah Phoebe Mabel (Pyrke). <mask>'s uncle Revd <mask> was also a Church of England parish priest. <mask>'s younger brother was <mask> QC MP.Their grandfather <mask> <mask> was a pioneer of Rawdon Island NSW and a nephew of Revd <mask> <mask>, who converted to Roman Catholicism with his friend and colleague Cardinal <mask> Newman. <mask> <mask> was a great-great-grandson of the 10th Baron <mask> of Bletso. Educated at Armidale High School, <mask> gained the degrees of BEc (Syd) and BA (Qld) by part-time studies and was an Associate of the Australian Society of Accountants. In accounting exams in 1952, he topped Australasia in Final Auditing with a mark of 94%. After working at Bank of NSW branches in several country towns he was transferred to the Bank's head office in Sydney. At the outbreak of war in 1939, he enlisted in the University Regiment. When the war extended to the Pacific in 1941 he volunteered for the 2nd AIF and served in Irian Jaya and New Britain, reaching the rank of Captain before returning to civilian life in 1946.Career
At the age of 32 he was appointed by Archbishop Reginald Halse to be Diocesan Registrar, Brisbane, at a time when the diocese had been in a 'perilous financial position' for some years. In his history of the Church of England in Queensland Dr. K Rayner wrote:
A member of a well-known New South Wales clerical family, <mask> brought to his new position both a thorough knowledge of church affairs and also the financial and administrative ability of rare quality. He recognised what many businessmen on church committees had not realised, that even in its business affairs the church could not always use the same methods as commercial enterprises, because its aims were different. "We must remember that the Church is a Church and not a business. In the long run, its success – as a Church – will depend on its spiritual strength, rather than its financial resources. If the first is healthy, there will be little difficulty about the latter." This implied no mandate for inefficiency in managing church affairs, and the announcement in 1956 of the complete elimination of the deficiency accounts of the diocese, which had totalled more than £40,000 in 1946, was a remarkable demonstration of the skillful handling of the financial affairs of the church by the registrar.'Personality of the Diocese'
The Church Chronicle in 1958 reported him as 'Personality of the Diocese':
Do our people realise the colossal job that the Registrar of the Diocese is doing? Mr. <mask> is always available to help Clergy and laypeople in their problems connected with the Diocese. He is Secretary of the Diocesan Council, where his knowledge and help are invaluable. The Registrar attends each meeting of the Councils and Advisory bodies of Church Schools and Institutions. He is without fear or favour. We cannot but record a mere fraction of his activities, and they are always carried out with good sense, good humour, and accurate knowledge. The Registrar also has acted as Secretary of this journal, and with his loyal staff does more than most of us realise to help forward the work of the Diocese.Building program
Combining his financial acumen and his strong sense of vocation he also helped initiate the diocese's ambitious building program, which included expansion of diocesan schools, rebuilding existing hostels for the aged, and building new hostels. One of these, Spiritus Symes Thorpe, an extensive facility for the aged at Toowoomba, was opened in 1961 as an outcome of his extensive negotiations with a major benefactor. The Diocese had long wanted to extend St John's Cathedral and knew that this would be an enormous undertaking. With the Diocese's improved financial position, the 2nd stage of cathedral construction began in 1965 and was completed in 1968. <mask> John was actively involved in fund-raising for the construction and in its design and project management. He was also involved in the 1960s' controversy about St Martin's Hospital, in Cathedral Square, which the Church proposed to replace with a new hospital at Zillmere. The proposal was stayed by the 'Save St Martin's' movement and went to litigation.In 1975 the Supreme Court upheld the Church's decision to move the hospital. Archbishop Felix Arnott said: 'This was a very satisfactory conclusion, and was a great tribute to the efforts of our lawyers and Mr. R T <mask>, who was largely responsible for preparing the material'. The old building is now a church office. 'Tireless church worker'
An active lay churchman, he contributed to the establishment of the Constitution of the Anglican Church of Australia (1962); represented the diocese at the Toronto Anglican Congress (1963); and was a member of the Anglican Consultative Council. As a 'tireless church worker' he was a member of the General Synod of the Church of England in Australia 1950-74 (and its standing committee and finance committee and the long service leave board) and a member of the Anglican Consultative Council of the whole of Anglican Community 1970-73. He also held numerous community positions; among them, he was secretary of The Southport School Council and the Anglican Church Grammar School Council 1947-74; member of the National Council of Independent Schools of Australia 1970-73; secretary of the District Nursing Association of Brisbane 1966-74; and Lt, Capt (Education Officer) CMF 1955-65. Archbishop Halse died in 1962 and was succeeded by the conservative <mask>.Tension arose between <mask> John and <mask>, as recorded by historian Dr. J C Holland: 'The Diocese had a powerful Registrar, <mask> <mask>, and he and other outspoken leaders did not always see eye to eye with the archbishop...The resultant tension further decreased the capacity of the Diocese to respond adequately to social change and numerical decline.' An example of their different attitudes concerned gambling. In 1965 the Diocesan Synod considered a motion to reaffirm its traditional ban on art unions, raffles, lotteries, and games of chance to raise funds for the Church. Archbishop <mask> lent weighty support to the motion, stating clearly that the real sin is in gambling. A vigorous debate followed and the motion was passed only with an amendment moved by <mask> John that gambling is not necessarily wrong in itself. In 1970 the Synod again considered whether to lift the Diocesan ban on gambling. In his Synod sermon - his last before retirement - <mask> once more made his position clear but support was not overwhelming.<mask> was astonished when <mask> John, to resolve the matter, moved that the 1965 resolution be rescinded. <mask> argued that he opposed gambling to raise funds in parish churches but, given the divided opinion, there could no longer be a ruling against this. <mask> was distressed when the 1965 resolution was rescinded. Never afraid of debate, <mask> John protested in 1965 against Sir Raphael Cilento's intemperate comments about 'brain-washed bishops' who had urged negotiation in the Vietnam War and de-criminalisation of homosexuality. (A year later Cilento was obstructing the pre-selection of <mask>'s brother <mask> <mask> QC to be the Liberal Party candidate for Warringah, Sydney, in the imminent federal elections.) In 1968 <mask> was awarded an MBE for his services to the Church and the community. He retired at the end of 1974.The Brisbane Diocesan Newsletter reported:
When Mr. <mask> <mask> walks away from Church House on December 31st this year, he will have completed 28 years as Diocesan Registrar. His shock resignation for health reasons marks the close of a remarkable and distinguished church career...Unquestionably he has been regarded as one of the leading lay members of the Australian Church, in which he made his presence felt at all levels from General Synod to parish activity. The recognition of his important place in the General Synod came with his election as the first Australian lay member of the Anglican Consultative Council. He made significant contributions in its debates at Limuru (1971) and Dublin (1973). At this level of international church diplomacy, <mask> <mask> was at his best… Observers have often been surprised by the speeches of the quietly-spoken man who at first sight seems likely to be a conservative. His radical thinking on issues such as racism, war, violence and the position of women in the church have won the admiration and gratitude of many. Assessment
In his history of the Church of England in Brisbane, Dr J C Holland wrote of <mask>:
His 28 years as registrar show how a layman could come to exercise diocesan influence as great as that of any diocesan bishop....He was universally respected and even admired, rather than loved. His encyclopedic knowledge of both Diocesan organisations and intimate parish details, together with a reputation for having brought the Diocese back from serious debt, gave him credibility, stature and the voice of authority, as well as the capacity to use his knowledge to further the policies which he believed were right... Halse had come to rely on him immensely and trusted his judgement...and was happy to refer difficult situations to him, and not only of a financial or administrative kind. His reports on serious and potentially contentious matters ...show a mind capable of great clarity about the issues. When [Archbishop] <mask> arrived [1962] there were differences of opinion over policy and style. ...Whereas <mask> leant on the Holy Spirit, <mask> John was more pragmatic and politically nuanced....The tension between <mask> and <mask> John was never satisfactorily resolved...At times, <mask> recognised the great ability that <mask> John had. He praised as 'outstanding and remarkable' an address that St John gave to Diocesan Synod in June 1967... No doubt <mask> John too recognised the great ability that <mask> had and his spiritual integrity, and publicly they put forward, as much as possible, a united front. Yet nothing could take away the enormous contribution [St John] made to the diocese over 28 years.He had knowledge of every department of diocesan life. He carefully and thoroughly stewarded the diocesan finances. ...He readily listened to troubled clergy and he offered leadership to the wider Australian Anglican church. He had a zeal to see the work of the church in the Diocese of Brisbane's progress and expand. At St John’s last diocesan synod, [Archbishop] Arnott spoke of his selfless devotion to the diocese and...it will be for his selfless devotion to his Lord and his Church that he will be principally remembered. Personal life
<mask> married Margaret, daughter of Archdeacon Reginald Massey, in 1949. They had a happy family life with their five children: David, Paul, Philippa, Nigel, and Julian.Margaret's early death in 1972 after a long illness was a deep grief to him. At a time when his work responsibilities were at their height, he became a single parent. In 1976 he married a widow with children, Marjorie Richardson (1924-2008). St John's Cathedral dedicated a stained-glass window to <mask> and Margaret in 1976. (St Alban's Anglican Church, Quirindi NSW, has stained-glass windows dedicated to <mask>'s parents.) On retiring as Registrar he took up an administrative position with a firm run by a family he had known from the church. In 1981, after he had retired entirely, he and Marjorie moved to Toowoomba.He read history, appreciated the arts, and loved music. He collected oriental ceramics and china though he had little money to spend on them. In his latter years, he painted in watercolour. In his book of memoirs Memories at Sunset he wrote of his childhood in Uralla and recounted anecdotes about people he had met during his lifetime. But they were not an autobiography: 'They do not speak of my good fortune in having godly, impressive and understanding parents…Nor do they refer to my marriage to two wonderful women…They do not mention the many joys and occasional sorrows of bringing up a large family'. These remained personal matters. Death and tributes
He died on 3 October 1991 aged nearly 77.In a tribute, the Primate of Australia, Dr Keith Rayner, said: "The Diocese of Brisbane and the whole Australian Church owed a tremendous amount to <mask>'s dedicated service and the acumen with which it was carried out. When he became Registrar he inherited a very difficult administrative and financial situation in Brisbane and he achieved a remarkable amount in turning this around. "The Toowoomba Chronicle published an obituary "'Tireless church worker' dies at 76". The Thanksgiving Eucharist was at All Saints' Church, Toowoomba. Bishop Adrian Charles spoke of <mask>'s meticulous attention to detail, which was of such value when the Church Canons (laws) of the Diocese were being produced; and his great work and influence beyond the Diocese in the national General Synod and in production of the constitution of the Anglican Church in Australia and the Church's prayer book. He also spoke of <mask>'s genuine love for things in the country and said that <mask> felt that meeting country people made the difficulties of the Registrar's job seem worthwhile. The General Synod's Standing Committee formally recorded the following minute on 24/25 October 1991:
That this Standing Committee record its thankfulness to Almighty God for the life service and witness of <mask> <mask>, formerly Registrar of the Diocese of Brisbane from 1946 to 1974, member of the General Synod from 1950 to 1974, and the Standing Committee, its Finance Committee and the Long Service Leave Board; for his representation of the Anglican Church of Australia at the Toronto Congress and the Anglican Consultative Council at Limuru and Dublin; for his outstanding work in re-establishing the financial stability of the Diocese of Brisbane; for his contribution to the establishment of the Constitution of this Church and the Long Service Leave Fund and his vigorous contribution to its debates on a wide range of subjects; and convey to his widow Marjorie and their children their sympathy and assurance of their prayers for them at this time.Notes

title: Amar Singh Chamkila

texts:
<mask> (21 July 1960  8 March 1988) was an Indian singer, songwriter, musician, and composer of Punjabi music. Chamkila and his wife <mask>t were killed, along with two members of their band on 8 March 1988 in an assassination which remains unresolved. <mask> is regarded as one of the best live stage performers that Punjab has ever produced and extremely popular with the village audience. His monthly bookings regularly outnumbered the number of days in the month. His music was heavily influenced by the Punjabi village life he was surrounded by growing up. He commonly wrote songs about extra-marital relationships, coming of age, drinking, drug use, and the hot tempers of Punjabi men. He earned a controversial reputation, with his detractors regarding his music obscene, and his supporters regarding it a truthful commentary on Punjabi culture and society.His best-known hits include "Pehle Lalkare Naal" and his devotional songs "Baba Tera Nankana" and "Talwar Main Kalgidhar Di". Though he never recorded it himself, he wrote the widely popular "Jatt Di Dushmani" which has been recorded by many Punjabi artists. He became famous as a result of his first ever recorded song "Takue Te Takua". Early life and career
<mask> <mask> was born as <mask> Sandilla home name Dhani Ram on 21 July 1960 in a family belonging to the village of Dugri near Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The youngest child of Kartar Kaur and <mask> Sandila , he was educated at Gujar Khan Primary School in Dugri. His aspirations of becoming an electrician were unfulfilled and he found work at a Ludhiana cloth mill. With a natural aptitude for music, he learned to play the harmonium and dholki.In 1978, <mask> approached Surinder Shinda for the first time on a bicycle with his best friend Kuldeep Paras. When Shinda heard the 18-year-old Chamkila sing, he finally found the protege that he had been looking for. Chamkila would go on to play alongside Punjabi folk artists such as K. Deep, Mohammad Sadiq and Shinda. He wrote several songs for Shinda and accompanied him as a member of his entourage before deciding to pursue a solo career. It is rumoured that Chamkila was happy enough writing songs, but he wasn't earning enough money to look after his family, so had to start singing. <mask>'s first time in the studio was providing backing vocals alongside Kuldeep Paras for Surinder Shinda's hit song "Putt Jattan De". He was married to Gurmail Kaur by family with whom he had two daughters, Amandeep Kaur and Kamaldeep Kaur.<mask>'s second marriage was with his co-singer <mask> Kaur, with whom he has a son Jaiman <mask>. It was a love marriage held on 23 May 1983. Chamkila had spoken with close friends that he felt compelled to marry <mask>t as that was the only way to ensure the duet stayed together. Rise to fame

Career in music

Adopting the stage name <mask> Chamkila – Chamkila in Punjabi means one that glitters. Chamkila first partnered up with the female vocalist Surinder Sonia who had previously worked with Surinder Shinda. Sonia had felt sidelined after Shinda took Gulshan Komal to a tour in Canada, after which she was instrumental in pushing Chamkila to record his debut album. The pair recorded eight duets and released the album "Takue Te Takua" in 1980 with music produced by Charanjit Ahuja.The cunningly worded lyrics, which he had written himself, became hits across Punjab. In 1980, <mask> felt he was significantly underpaid by Surinder Sonia's manager (her husband) and decided to form his own group. Chamkila established short-lived stage partnerships with Miss Usha Kiran, <mask> and others. Chamkila was struggling to find a long-term co-singer to record songs with until fellow Punjabi singer Kuldeep Manak suggested <mask> Kaur, who had been singing infrequently with Manak and had even featured on his latest album. Not much is known about <mask>t Kaur, except for the fact that she was previously married but left the marriage to pursue her dream of singing. She would go on to become Chamkila's permanent singing partner providing the female vocals for his duets, that is, the majority of the songs that he wrote. Chamkila, for the most part, wrote his own lyrics, the majority of which were boyish and suggestive, yet fluent, commentaries on extramarital affairs, alcohol and drug use.The couple's appeal grew not only in the Punjab, but they quickly raced to international stardom among Punjabis abroad. Around this time, <mask> was rumoured to be receiving more bookings than his contemporaries. The biography "Awaz Mardi Nahin" by Gulzar <mask>ki found during its research that at the height of his popularity <mask> had performed 366 shows in 365 days. By the early 1980s, <mask> and <mask>t had recorded hugely successful LPs on the HMV label and they toured Canada, US, Dubai and Bahrain. They were also commonly booked for wedding parties, charging a reported Rs. 4000 per performance, an unprecedented amount for the time. Chamkila sold more HMV LP records in the world than any other Punjabi singer.He was also an accomplished player of the Tumbi instrument. Much of Chamkila's success may be attributed to the fan-base he acquired performing in free, open-air concerts (known as Akhade in Punjabi) around Punjab. Accompanying the couple would be a harmonium and dholki player and Chamkila would play the Tumbi. The concerts served as a medium for gaining exposure and testing people's response to new songs that were planned for future recordings. In addition to singing his own songs, Chamkila wrote several songs and sold them to other artists. Some of these include "Main Digie Tilak Ke" (Surinder Shinda), "Gabroo Nu Marda" (Jagmohan Kaur) and "Deor Naal Nach Bhabiye" (KS Kooner). Chamkila continued to work with music director Charanjit Ahuja but also experimented by working with SN Gulati and KS Narula.Starting in 1985, <mask> and <mask>t released three devotional LPs: Baba Tera Nankana, Talwar Main Kalgidhar Di Haan and Naam Jap Le. The LPs were highly successful, with profits reportedly donated to charities. <mask>'s song "Pehle Lalkare Naal" was featured in the soundtrack of the 1987 Punjabi film 'Patola'. He also recorded the song "Mera Jee Karda" for the Punjabi film 'Dupatta'. Both films fared averagely at the box office, but still increased Chamkila's popularity. <mask> and <mask>t recorded in excess of ninety songs before they were killed in Mesumpur, Punjab in 1988. At the time of his death, he reportedly had 200 songs that had not been sung or recorded.Of these some were sung at stage shows including "Dhee Mar Jai Badkar Loko", "Jatt Di Dushmani" and "Akhiyan Di Maar Buri". Chamkila also wrote a song based on Punjabi folk hero Jeona Morh called Kaadha Soorma - a stage recording of Chamkila's vocals were remixed and released by Panjabi MC in 2007. Chamkila also had many solo songs which have been sung in recent times by artists such as Chamak <mask>, Nirmal Sidhu, <mask>, and even his teacher Surinder Shinda. Some singers have used some of Chamkila's lyrics in their songs as part of their chorus. These include Nasha, Mere Yaar Ne (Gippy Grewal) and Shad De Vairne Yaari (Jazzy B). Chamkila's lyrics and compositions continue to be popular in contemporary Punjabi music. Following various complaints to his office, Chamkila appeared before a five-member Sikh committee at the Golden Temple to seek forgiveness for any offence caused by his lyrics.The committee praised his hugely successful religious song "Talwar Main Kalgidhar Di Haan" and <mask> was encouraged to lend his voice to religious songs going forward. <mask>, working alongside friend and  lyricist Swarn Sivia, was in the process of preparing for a studio recording of Asa Di Var however due to <mask>'s death this was never recorded. <mask> had been invited by Doordarshan to record a song to be broadcast on television. The solo song titled "Dil Da Sheesha" had been sung live on stage but was never filmed. Following <mask>'s death, this song was sung on television by his protege <mask>. Before his death, <mask> was working on publishing a magazine titled 'Gaunda Punjab, which would include articles regarding prominent singers, upcoming artists and news from the Punjabi film and music industry. With considerable experience in theatre during his teenage years, <mask> was also in talks to star in a lead role in the Punjabi movie 'Guldasta' directed by Veerendra and alongside Sridevi in a Punjabi movie titled 'Naanke'.Both films were never made. Assassination

Having arrived to perform in Mehsampur, Punjab, both <mask> and <mask> were gunned down as they exited their vehicle on 8 March 1988 at approximately 2PM. A gang of motorcyclists fired several rounds, fatally wounding the couple and other members of the entourage. However, no arrests were ever made with connection to the shooting and the case was never solved. There are many conspiracy theories as to why <mask> was killed. It is widely reported that he had been the victim of several death threats. The nature of those threats or the rationale behind them still remains a mystery.The high-profile murder sparked a frenzy of controversy and speculation. Some of the most prominent theories explaining the killings are:
 Honor killing. It is presumed <mask>t's family could have been behind the murder in an effort to preserve their family name from cultural slander. The Sikh separatism, Khalistani movement of the 1980s may have found Chamkila's lyrical content to be objectionable. The movement may have killed him. Due to the public's declining interest in other Punjabi singers in favour of <mask>, one or more of these other artists may have planned his killing. This theory is further backed by his colleagues (musicians, booking staff etc.)in a number of YouTube interviews. Chamkila may have been murdered by an individual he might have refused to perform for due to a scheduling conflict or other reasons. Legacy

Influence
Indian film composer Amit Trivedi called Chamkila "a legend, the Elvis of Punjab." British Indian musician, Panjabi MC, cites Chamkila as one of his musical influences. The song Kaadha Soorma from his 2008 album, Indian Timing, includes Chamkila's vocals.Diljit Dosanjh also sang Chamkila's songs and was inspired by him. In popular culture
Mehsampur is a 2018 Indian mockumentary film based on Chamkila's life, produced and directed by Kabir <mask>. Reportedly Imtiaz Ali is making a big budgeted film on his life

Discography
Chamkila's studio recordings were released by HMV as LP records and EP records during his lifetime.

title: Liane Russell

texts:
<mask> "Lee" <mask> (August 27, 1923 – July 20, 2019) was an Austrian-born American geneticist and conservationist. Her studies in mammalian genetics provided the basis for understanding the chromosomic basis for sex determination in mammals and the effects occasioned by radiation, drugs, fuels and waste on mice. Her research allowed better understanding of genetic processes in mammals, mutagenesis and teratogenesis effects on mammals, and knowledge of how these processes can be prevented and avoided. She determined that developing embryos were most vulnerable to the effects of radiation during the first seven weeks of pregnancy and therefore recommended that non-urgent diagnostic X-rays be taken in the 14 days after the onset of a woman's menstrual period, a standard that became internationally accepted in radiological practice. She was also the first to discover that the Y chromosome determines maleness in mammals. Her conservation activities resulted in the protection of many wild and scenic places, especially those near her adopted home of East Tennessee. Early life
<mask> was born as <mask> in 1923 in Vienna, Austria, to a Jewish household, the oldest of three children to Clara (Starer) and Arthur Brauch.Her father was a chemist and her mother was a singing teacher. From the age of 3 to 15, the family lived on the Wiedner Hauptstrasse, not far from the Vienna Opera. There were frequent musical gatherings in the apartment, and the family enjoyed skiing and other outings in the Alps. One of her childhood playmates was first cousin, Robert Starer, Austrian-born American composer and pianist. Her somewhat idyllic childhood abruptly came to an end on the evening of March 12, 1938, but her family stayed in Vienna even after the Anschluss. Through a secret scheme, which involved the surrender of her father's business to the Nazis, the immediate family (father, mother, younger sister and younger brother) were able to escape to London. She moved to the United States in 1941 and became a naturalized American citizen in 1946.She met zoologist William L<mask> during a college summer school program, where he was her mentor. They married and worked together as geneticists at Jackson Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Together they had two children, a son, David "Ace" (b. 1950) and a daughter, Evelyn (b. 1952). Education
<mask> completed her secondary schooling in England. After the family moved to the United States, she earned an A.B.from Hunter College in New York City in 1945 and her Ph.D. in Zoology in 1949 at the University of Chicago. Her first job was baby sitting while she studied in college; after that she worked as a receptionist in a doctor's office after class. Career
<mask> began her career as a research assistant at Jackson Memorial Laboratory from 1943 to 1947, and worked as a fellow at the University of Chicago. In 1947, she moved to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she eventually became a Senior Corporate Fellow and Section Head. <mask> conducted genetics research focused on radiation-induced mutations. She and her husband established the "mouse house," a colony of more than 200,000 mutant mice bred to study the effects of radiation exposure. The extensive colony helped drive mammalian genetics research for decades.She served as scientific advisor for the U.S. delegation at the first Atoms for Peace Conference held in Geneva in 1955. In 1973 she was the first woman to receive the internationally awarded Roentgen Medal. <mask> served as head of the Mammalian Genetics & Development Section between 1975 and 1995. Under her guidance, this Section expanded its research, studying the genetic effects of chemicals from drugs, fuels and waste on mice. Her studies allowed her to move from classic genetics to molecular analysis. <mask>i Award, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) highest research honor, for her "outstanding contributions to genetics and radiation biology, including her discovery of the chromosomal basis for sex determination in mammals and her contributions to our knowledge of the effects of radiation on the developing embryo and fetus."<mask> has more than 150 publications. In 2001, Oak Ridge National Laboratory opened the William L. and Liane B. Russell Laboratory for Comparative and Functional Genomics. She retired in 2002. In 2013, Oak Ridge National Laboratory created the Liane B. <mask> Distinguished Early Career Fellowship to assist young researchers. Activism

<mask> was also a conservationist working for protection of wilderness and national lands and rivers. In 1966 she helped to organize the Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning (TCWP). In 1976 TCWP helped to obtain protection of the 125,000-acre Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and obtain National Wild and Scenic River designation for the Obed River.In 1992 <mask> received the National Parks Conservation Association's (NPCA's) Marjory Stoneman Douglas award.
