He then embarked on a full-time radio career in 2005, hosting mainly talk-based shows on LBC 97.3, Absolute Radio, BBC Three Counties Radio, BBC Radio WM, and talkRADIO, which earned him numerous radio awards. In July 2020, after his contract at talkRADIO was not renewed, <mask> launched his Twitch show. Early life
<mask> was born on 9 June 1973 in Slough, then a part of Buckinghamshire. He has Scottish roots. <mask>'s father worked at the props department at the BBC and his mother was a secretary until she developed multiple sclerosis which put her into an early retirement.The couple divorced when <mask> was a youngster. <mask> was raised on a council estate and recalled being bullied by fellow pupils because they considered him posh. By the late 1990s, <mask> had dropped the "Rougvie" from his name. He officially changed his name to <mask> by deed poll in 2008, due to his troubled relationship with his father. <mask> is the nephew of Scottish former footballer Doug Rougvie. He attended Herschel Grammar School in Slough and studied performing arts at Middlesex University. Career

Comedy
<mask> began a stand-up comedy career in the 1990s, developing his act initially in the London area before performing nationwide.He does not look back on his time as a stand-up fondly, partly due to the fact that he started abusing drugs and alcohol during this time. However, he did meet Mackenzie Crook, also a stand-up comic at the time, who became a longtime friend. Radio
<mask> began his radio career in December 1997, presenting a four-hour show on Horizon 103.3, an independent station in Milton Keynes, on Christmas Day. At that point, he was 24 years old with only fifteen minutes experience in a studio and did not take any compliance or Ofcom regulation exam prior. <mask> went on to feature on the station's morning program The Morning Crew hosted by Trevor Marshall and Helen Legh, as <mask> in Black Thunder and <mask>. From 1999 to 2001, <mask> hosted a show on Xfm London. <mask> embarked on a full-time radio career in January 2005, starting with a stint on talk station LBC 97.3.He joined the station hosting weekend evenings before moving to afternoon drive, which he named The 3 Hour 4 'Till 7 <mask> Afternoon Wireless Show and later The 3-and-a-Half Hour 3 'Till 6.30 <mask> Afternoon Wireless Show. <mask> was known for hosting a segment named Triple M (also known as Mental Mayhem or Mick's Mental Mayhem), where calls went straight to air without being pre-screened, which Nick Abbot, Tommy Boyd, and Clive Bull had also done. The segment received its own dedicated slot on Sunday nights in 2007. At the time, management favoured the unique format as they hoped that it would introduce exclusive listeners to the radio station. <mask> then hosted the 7–10pm weekday slot which was named <mask>'s Good Evening. In 2007, Global Radio purchased LBC which led to a change in management, who introduced a talk format of topical and news-driven conversation. <mask>'s presenting style fell out of favour and he left the station without prior announcement in November 2007.In January 2008, <mask> began to host The Sunday Night Show on Absolute Radio from 10pm to 1am that featured music and talk. In April 2009, <mask> wrestled a listener which was broadcast the following month. From 12 October 2009, <mask> took over the Monday to Thursday evening slot. In October 2011, the station announced that <mask>'s contract would be terminated with immediate effect by mutual agreement. His departure occurred during a court case in which a listener was accused of harassing <mask>, his wife, and the show's producer. From 2012 to 2015, <mask> presented the weekday breakfast show on BBC Three Counties Radio, a local service that served Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire. He later said that he accepted the job as he was unable to find work elsewhere, and felt "crushed" and a little humiliated about taking it at first.From December 2013, <mask> also presented a Saturday morning show on BBC Radio WM, the BBC's West Midlands service, which was followed by a Friday afternoon slot on the station from September 2014. He left the station in the following August, citing that management considered <mask> hosting both slots as "odd" and wanted him to just present on Saturdays, which he rejected. In May 2014, <mask>'s Three Counties show won a Radio Academy Award for Breakfast Show of the Year (Under 10 Million). On 12 August 2014, <mask> was accused of saying a racist comment to a Three Counties producer following an on-air argument, in which <mask> stated: "Go on, go and do the black and Asian show. Bye bye." The argument was described as banter and the BBC apologised for the comments. In November 2015, <mask> was fired from Three Counties.His departure followed complaints received about his interview with a lawyer from Christian Concern earlier in the month, in which <mask> accused her of being "bigoted" and "homophobic" after she defended a minister quoting verses from the Bible condemning homosexuality as sinful. In February 2016, <mask> announced that he had joined the first line-up of presenters for the launch of a new talk radio station, talkRADIO. The station began to air on 21 March 2016, with <mask> hosting The Late Night Alternative from 10pm to 1 am on weekdays. In 2017, he won a Gold Award at the Audio and Radio Industry Awards in the Best Speech Presenter – Non-Breakfast category. He won a second in 2020, this time for Moment of the Year for directing emergency services to a caller who had taken an overdose. Despite the success, <mask> announced on 2 June 2020 that his contract was not renewed. On 10 July 2020, <mask> announced that he had been signed by Twitch to continue hosting The Late Night Alternative on its streaming platform.The first launched on 20 July and is recorded from <mask>'s home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The show allows video calls from viewers worldwide. Television

In one incident, <mask> received death threats and had a stalker after he joked about Danniella Westbrook and her drug use. The police advised him to move out of his flat; he lived with Mackenzie Crook and in a hotel before the matter was resolved. In January 2000, <mask> and Donovan were criticised by Ofcom for making "death jokes" on the recently murdered Jill Dando.After four series, <mask> walked out five days before filming of the fifth was due to start. He later said that it was an unfair move, but felt the quality of the show's humour had declined and Channel 4 had cut its budget. <mask> said he would have earned £90,000 if he had stayed. In 2002, <mask> accepted to co-host a relaunch of the Channel 4 live breakfast show RI:SE with reality television star Kate Lawler, from January 2003.

In February 2012, <mask> launched The <mask> Pocket Radio Show, a podcast similar in style to his radio shows but utilised various social media platforms for content.

title: Anna Amelia Obermeyer

type: original

texts:
<mask> (née <mask>) (1907 – 2001) was a South African botanist who worked at the Botanical Research Institute in Pretoria. She catalogued more than 4,000 plant specimens from the Kalahari and Soutpansberg regions. She made major contributions to the journals Flowering Plants of Africa and Bothalia. Early life and career
<mask> was born on 30 July 1907 in Pretoria and attended Oost Eind Skool (East End School). She obtained her BSc in 1928 and MSc in 1931 from the Transvaal University College, Pretoria, under C.E.B Bremekamp. She was appointed botanist in the Transvaal Museum from 1929 to 1938. She married Anton Mauve in 1938 and did not return to her professional career until 1957 when she joined the National Herbarium.She had, in effect, returned to her original job as the botanical collections of the Transvaal Museum had been transferred to the National Herbarium in 1953. Her area of responsibility at the National Herbarium was petaloid monocots and she retained this position until she reached retirement age in July 1972. In October 1972, after a brief vacation, she returned to the National Herbarium in a temporary capacity and, twelve years later, in 1984 she was promoted to Temporary senior agricultural researcher. In August 1985 she finally retired and moved to Pinelands, Cape Town. She died on 10 October 2001 in Cape Town. Areas of study
At the Transvaal Museum she worked mostly on Acanthaceae and in particular Barleria, Blepharis and Petalidium. She catalogued a large collection of plants from the Vernay-Lang expedition to the Kalahari, creating one of the first records of the flora of this region.She was also part of an expedition, with Schweickerdt and Verdoorn, to the Soutpansberg Salt Pan and wrote an account of the specimens of flora collected. In 1957 she started working on petaloid monocots, describing individual new species and she provided texts for images published in the journal Flowering Plants of Africa. Volume 42 of this journal was dedicated to her. She also completed revisions of Anthericum, Dipcadi and Lagarosiphon. She collected more than 4,000 specimens on various field trips in South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the company of V.F.M. FitzSimons. Awards and honours

She was awarded the South African Association of Botanists (SAAB) senior medal for botany with the citation that she had made more contributions to that project than any other single botanist.She was a member of the South African Biological Society and edited the journal of the South African Biological Society. She was a founding member of the South African Association of Botanists, a member of Association pour l'Étude Taxonomique de la Flore d'Afrique Tropicale (AETFAT) and a member of S2A3 (the South African Association for the Advancement of Science).

title: Ronnie Whelan

texts:
<mask> (; born 25 September 1961) is an Irish former professional footballer player who played as a midfielder and sometimes as a defender. He played an integral role in the dominant Liverpool side that won a wealth of titles in the 1980s. He was at the club from 1979 until 1994, scoring a number of vital goals. In 100 Players Who Shook The Kop, a poll of 110,000 Liverpool fans conducted by Liverpool's official website, Whelan came in 30th. Whelan finished his career at Southend United, where he was also player-manager. He has also managed in Greece and Cyprus, with Panionios, Olympiakos Nicosia and Apollon Limassol. Whelan was an important member of the Republic of Ireland national football team at one UEFA European Football Championship (1988) and also appeared at two World Cups (1990 and 1994).He played a total of 53 times for the national side between 1981 and 1995. Since retirement he has begun a media career, and is a regular contributor to RTÉ Sport in Ireland. Early life
Whelan was born into a family of footballers from Dublin, Ireland; his father, <mask>, Sr., was an Irish international and a key member of the successful St Patrick's Athletic side of the late 1950s and early 1960s. His brother Paul Whelan played for Bohemian FC and Shamrock Rovers. Whelan was a skilful and industrious midfield player, who, after an unsuccessful trial period for Manchester United (for whom he made one appearance for their 'B' team, scoring in a 7–4 win over Liverpool 'B', on 20 August 1977), made his League of Ireland debut for Home Farm on his 16th birthday at Tolka Park. Whelan scored for a League of Ireland XI against the Basque Country at the San Mamés in August 1979

Liverpool

Whelan was signed for Liverpool by Bob Paisley for a bargain £35,000 on 19 September 1979, a few days before his 18th birthday and made his debut 18 months later, on 3 April 1981, scoring his first goal in the 27th minute of the 3–0 league win over Stoke City at Anfield. This would be Whelan's one and only appearance of the season for the first team, as Whelan spent much of his first few months at the club in the reserves.The following season Whelan won his place on the left side of the Liverpool midfield, ending the Anfield career of Ray Kennedy and also taking over his No. 5 shirt. It was an excellent season for Whelan, as he settled into first team football and helped Liverpool to another League championship. They also retained the League Cup with victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, with Whelan scoring twice in the 3–1 win, including the equalizer late in regulation time and the winner in extra-time. In 1983, Liverpool retained these two trophies and Whelan again tallied in the League Cup final, scoring the winner with a curving shot into the Manchester United net in extra-time to secure a 2–1 win. Whelan then played a major role in Liverpool's treble of League title, League Cup and European Cup of 1984, although he was injured for part of this season. Liverpool's trophyless season in 1985, culminating in the disaster at Heysel, was followed by a much more successful season for <mask> and Liverpool, under the new management of Kenny Dalglish.Liverpool clinched another League title and added the FA Cup, with Whelan setting up two of the goals in a 3–1 victory over Merseyside rivals Everton, the first time the two had met in an FA Cup final. It was only the third League and FA Cup "double" of the 20th century. Whelan put in some fine performances in the league as well, most notably a hat-trick in the 5–0 home win over Coventry City on 12 April 1986. Liverpool ended the following season trophyless, losing the League Cup Final to Arsenal and coming second to Everton in the league. The following year, Whelan switched to a central role following the arrival of England winger John Barnes at Anfield, supplementing the new strike partnership of Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge. This season saw Liverpool play an exciting brand of football and they won the league title with just two defeats all season. They also reached the final of the FA Cup, although Whelan missed out on the cup final as Nigel Spackman, who had won his place in the team when Whelan was injured earlier in the season was chosen ahead of him.<mask>'s name and profile was even left out of the official match programme at Wembley for the FA Cup final against Wimbledon, which prohibitive favourites Liverpool lost 1–0 to a team who had just completed only their second season in the First Division and their 11th in the Football League. An injury to club captain Alan Hansen meant that Whelan spent much of the 1988–89 season as captain of Liverpool, a role he relished as the club progressed to another challenge for a "double". Then the Hillsborough disaster happened, and Whelan played a key role in leading the team on and off the pitch in a difficult time. When Hansen recovered, Whelan maintained the captaincy for continuity purposes and it was he who lifted the FA Cup after a 3–2 win over derby rivals Everton. However, he missed the chance to do the same with the League title, with Arsenal taking the championship thanks to a last-minute goal from Michael Thomas on the final day of the season on goal difference. This meant that for the second year running Liverpool narrowly missed out on a unique second double. Liverpool won the League again in 1990 with Whelan playing a central role for much of the season, although he missed the last few games due to the first of several injuries which would severely hamper the rest of his Liverpool career.One of <mask>'s more forgettable moments came that season, when in a match at Old Trafford, an unmarked Whelan chipped a backpass from 30 yards over goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar and into the net. To date, it is considered to be one of the most bizarre and comical own goals in top flight history. However, Liverpool still won the match 2–1. Whelan remained a first team regular the following season, until an injury sustained in February 1991 against Everton ruled him out for the rest of the campaign. For the rest of his Anfield career, Whelan was injured as often as he played. He missed much of the 1991–92 season with injury, although returned to score a crucial equaliser against Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-final, forcing a replay which Liverpool won on penalties. However, although he had recovered from another minor injury in time for the successful Cup final against Sunderland, he didn't feature, his place going to Jan Mølby.When Whelan was fit, manager Graeme Souness gave him plenty more first team opportunities in the new FA Premier League for the 1992–93 and 1993–94 seasons, but it was a disappointing period for the club, as they finished sixth in the Premier League in 1993 and eighth in 1994. By this time, Graeme Souness had been replaced as manager by Roy Evans. At the end of the 1993–94 season, Evans decided not to offer Whelan a new contract. In all, Whelan played 493 first team games for Liverpool, scoring 73 goals in combined league and cup matches. He scored 46 league goals in fourteen consecutive seasons, 37 of them in his first seven years when he played a more attacking role. He won six League championship title medals, three FA Cups, a European Cup and three League Cup medals in his time with the club. International career
By the age of 20 Whelan had represented the Republic of Ireland national football team at schoolboy, youth, amateur, U21 and senior level.Whelan first represented his country at schoolboy level. Whelan was a regular for the Republic of Ireland, making his debut on 29 April 1981 when he came off the bench in the 63rd minute of the 3–1 victory over Czechoslovakia at Lansdowne Road. <mask> was part of the Irish side which qualified for the UEFA European Championship of 1988 in West Germany. He was in the team which memorably beat England 1–0, and in the next game scored a spectacular goal in a draw with the USSR. Defeat in the final group game, against eventual champions Netherlands, eliminated Ireland from the competition. In general, Ireland's style under manager Jack Charlton did not involve precision midfield play, which limited Whelan's international impact. He came on as a substitute against Holland in his only appearance in the 1990 World Cup, and played for less than a half against Norway in his sole 1994 World Cup game.In all he played 53 times for his country, scoring three goals. Managerial career
On his departure from Anfield in 1994 after 15 years, Whelan signed for Southend United and became their player-manager a year later, before being sacked at the end of the 1996–97 season following their relegation from Division One. He later worked with clubs in Greece such as Panionios and in Cyprus such as Apollon Limassol and Olympiakos Nicosia. His greatest success as a manager, was with Panionios in 1999, when his team reached for first time the quarter finals of a European competition, the Cup Winners Cup, when they were eliminated by eventual champions S.S. Lazio by 0–4 and 0–3 scores over the two legs. Media career
Whelan now works on the after-dinner circuit and does some punditry. Whelan features regularly on RTÉ Sport's soccer programming, including its Premier League and UEFA Champions League coverage.

title: W. Graham Claytor Jr.

texts:
<mask>. (March 14, 1912 – May 14, 1994) was an American attorney, United States Navy officer, and railroad, transportation and defense administrator for the United States government, working under the administrations of three US presidents. He is remembered for his actions as the commanding officer of the destroyer escort  during World War II, which helped to save 317 lives during the  tragedy. Over 30 years later, Claytor's moderate actions on behalf of the rights of female and gay service personnel as Secretary of the Navy were considered progressive for the time. He is also credited with a distinguished transportation career, including ten years as president of the Southern Railway and 11 years as the head of Amtrak, guiding the passenger railroad through a particularly difficult period in its history. He was named the Virginian of the Year in 1977. Early life and career

<mask> was born in Roanoke, Virginia on March 14, 1912, and grew up in both Virginia and Philadelphia. He was the son of <mask>, a lyric poet, and W<mask> (1886–1971), who was vice-president of Appalachian Power.<mask> graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1933. He then graduated from Harvard Law School summa cum laude in 1936. He then clerked for Learned Hand, Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He then moved to Washington, D.C., to become law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Louis Brandeis before joining the prestigious Washington law firm Covington and Burling. Career

World War II — USS Indianapolis tragedy

In 1940, soon after the start of World War II, 28-year-old <mask> attempted to enlist, but was initially rejected by the United States Navy as being too old. He finally joined under a special provision, based upon his previous experience in sports boating. He was assigned to the Pacific Theater.Late in the war, Claytor became commanding officer of the destroyer escort  on patrol in the Pacific Ocean. In August 1945, Claytor sped without orders  to investigate reports of men floating in the water. As Cecil J. Doyle approached the area at night, Claytor turned the ship's searchlights on the water and straight up on low clouds, lighting up the night, despite the risk of exposing his ship to possible attack by Japanese submarines. These actions facilitated the rescue of the survivors of the sunken cruiser . Indianapolis had been on a secret mission and, due to a communications error, had not been reported as overdue (or missing). An estimated 900 men survived the sinking, but spent days floating in life jackets trying to fight off sharks. While only 317 were rescued out of a crew of 1199 who were aboard Indianapolis, Claytor's actions were widely credited by survivors with preventing an even greater loss of life.Legal practice and Southern Railway

After World War II, he resumed practice of law in Washington, D.C. He became an officer of the Southern Railway in 1963, serving as president from 1967 to 1977. Notwithstanding his legal background, Claytor was known as an "operations" man, often riding the company's trains, monitoring and questioning performance. In contrast to his predecessor, D. <mask>, Claytor was an "employee's President," often chatting with the crews of the trains on which he rode, actively soliciting their suggestions on how to make the railroad run better. He carried this attitude with him during his later service as the President of Amtrak. U.S. Government service

Claytor served as the Secretary of the Navy under President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1979. He is credited with leading the United States Navy into its first recognition of women's right to serve on ships and of rights of gays to leave the service without criminal records.His positions were considered by activists to be progressive for the time, leading to further progress years later in these controversial issues. In 1979, he was appointed to the position of Deputy Secretary of Defense. General Colin Powell served as his military assistant. In the summer of 1979, he took a brief leave from the Defense Department to serve as Acting Secretary of Transportation in President Carter's Cabinet. His service at the Transportation Department bridged the tenures of Secretary Brock Adams and Secretary Neil Goldschmidt. Amtrak

In 1982, <mask> came out of retirement to lead Amtrak. He was recruited and strongly supported by John H. Riley, an attorney who was also the head of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the Reagan Administration from 1983 to 1989.<mask> maintained a good relationship with the U.S. Congress during his 11 years in the position. Within 7 years of being under <mask>'s leadership, Amtrak was generating enough money to cover 72 percent of its $1.7 billion operating budget by 1989, up from 48 percent in 1981. This was achieved mainly through vigorous cost-cutting and aggressive marketing. He is credited with bringing political and operational stability to the nation's passenger train network, keeping the railroad functioning properly despite repeated attempts by the administrations of Ronald Reagan and his successor George H.W. Bush to eliminate its funding. <mask> retired from Amtrak in 1993. Legacy and heritage
Claytor was named the Virginian of the Year in 1977.In 1989, he was named Railroader of the Year by Railway Age magazine. He was the brother of Robert B<mask>, who became president of Norfolk and Western Railway in 1981 and was the first chairman and CEO of Norfolk Southern after it was formed by merger with the Southern Railway System in 1982. Robert B<mask> is best remembered by many railfans for reactivating Norfolk and Western Railway's steam program, which rebuilt steam locomotives Class J 611 and Class A 1218 at the Roanoke Shops at Roanoke, Virginia, and operated excursion trips. <mask> Jr. would occasionally take the throttle as engineer with his brother on the steam excursions. <mask> died on May 14, 1994. At Amtrak's Washington, DC Union Station a passenger concourse was renamed "Claytor Concourse" in his honor. "The Claytor Brothers: Virginians Building America's Railroad" is a semi-permanent exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia.See also

She is one of the rare classical music performers who has performed as a soloist accompanied by an orchestra as a Multi-instrumentalist. Early life
A native of Indonesia, of Chinese, Dutch and Javanese ancestry, <mask> was recognized as a child prodigy at the age of 7 on violin and piano. By the age of 11, she had learned everything Mr. Tan, her teacher in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, had to teach her. He recommended that she continue her studies with Mr. Adidharma in Jakarta, 450 miles away. The solution to the inherent logistics problem was for her to study with Mr. Adidharma in the summer, giving her the opportunity to study the piano during the rest of the year. <mask> was offered many scholarships, starting at the age of 7, but was unable to pursue them initially because her parents thought her too young to live on her own, and later because she was unable to obtain an exit visa.A missionary, Sister Brigid Conboy, who was following <mask>'s career was able to arrange for a scholarship at Rosary Hill College near Buffalo, New York, United States. After her first paid concert in May 1969, Governor  Ali Sadikin granted her the exit visa. After achieving success in local competitions, she became the youngest member of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. This was followed by two full scholarship offers: Juilliard School of Music, recommended by violin pedagogue Ivan Galamian and the University of Southern California. With her acceptance into the Jascha Heifetz Master Class at USC began a lasting association with him that lasted until his death in 1987. Education

<mask> (October 17, 1955 – February 24, 1984) was an American spree killer who fatally shot two students and wounded twelve others who were leaving 49th Street Elementary School in Los Angeles on February 24, 1984. <mask> then committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a double-barreled shotgun. Biography
<mask> was born to Lee Charles (1931–1978) and <mask> (1930–1978) in Montgomery County, Alabama. He grew up in a South Central Los Angeles residence that was later razed to build the 49th Street Elementary School. <mask> and his family were members of the Peoples Temple led by Jim Jones. In 1977, <mask>'s parents and siblings followed Jones to the Temple's Jonestown settlement in Guyana, leaving <mask> behind in Los Angeles; both parents, four sisters and a brother perished in the mass murder-suicide that took place at Jonestown on November 18, 1978. According to <mask>'s fiancée, a 29-year-old Temple member named Marylou Hill, he suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of the deaths of his family.<mask> returned to his old neighborhood in Los Angeles, and moved with Hill into a white, two-story Victorian house at 730 East 50th Street, just 50 feet away from the school that now stood on the property where his childhood home had been. The house bore a crudely lettered sign reading "God's Love" and commanded a sweeping view of the school playground. <mask> developed a reputation in the neighborhood for his irrational behavior and his abuse of drugs such as PCP, the latter of which Hill vehemently disputed. On December 5, 1979, about a year after his return, <mask> was arrested at his home following a dispute with his uncle and landlord, Willie Lee <mask>, about who would relight the pilot light on a water heater. Reportedly, <mask>'s uncle had threatened to arm himself during the dispute, and <mask>, in turn, fired three shots from a .30-caliber rifle into the air before police arrived. Two months later he was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm within city limits, fined $200 and placed on two years' probation. Hill said that <mask> kept a "high-powered rifle" in the house and, by 1984, occasionally fired it at the sky.According to neighbors, in February 1984 he regularly fired at airliners passing overhead, which were landing at Los Angeles International Airport. These incidents were not reported to police out of fear. In an incident on February 11, one of <mask>'s uncles reported to police that <mask> had pointed a machine gun at him. No weapon was confiscated, no arrest made, and the matter was turned over to the city attorney. <mask> was a student at California State University, Long Beach, for several years, where he attended a variety of classes. He did not hold a job. Hill, his fiancée, worked as a preschool teacher.<mask> wanted to marry Hill right away, but she wanted to wait until their financial situation improved. Shooting and siege
At 2:23 pm on Friday, February 24, 1984, about 100 students from the 49th Street Elementary School had just emerged from their classrooms and onto the school's playground when <mask> opened fire from the second-story bay window of his house located across the street. Police in a squad car heard shots ring out and reported the incident immediately. <mask> shot 39 rounds from an AR-15 rifle and 18 rounds from two shotguns down into the crowd of students. Several children fell from their wounds in the schoolyard, while most escaped running back into the school. There they were taken to the library on the building's opposite side and waited while their parents were telephoned to pick them up. Children who remained outside hid behind trees, garbage cans, and any other available cover.Some of the children were screaming and crying. Seven ambulances were dispatched to the scene. A team of paramedics rescued several children while <mask> continued to fire from his window. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedic Jack Frye and his partner drove directly onto the schoolyard and pulled children into their ambulance. "We pulled the kids, injured or not, into the ambulance. We just wanted to get them safe. We didn't know what could happen," Frye stated later.Some of the injured students were flown out by police helicopter. When the barrage had ceased minutes later, the school was evacuated and <mask>'s house was surrounded by police. During the ensuing siege, Hill arrived and asked police to allow her to enter the house to try to talk with <mask>. Authorities refused her pleas, fearing she would be taken hostage. The Los Angeles Police Department's SWAT team arrived and evacuated houses adjacent to <mask>'s. The siege ended when a four-man SWAT team stormed the house shortly after 6 p.m. Police fired at least 16 canisters of tear gas into the house before the SWAT team entered. <mask> was found laying face up on the floor of his second-story bedroom, dressed in camouflage pants, a khaki shirt, and jungle-style combat boots, with an empty knife scabbard attached to his belt.He had killed himself with a single wound to the head from a 12 gauge double-barreled shotgun. No one else was found in the house. Casualties
At the time of the incident, <mask> had injured 14 people, mostly children. Most were treated at local hospitals. One of the first children to fall under the attack was 10-year-old Shala Eubanks. A schoolyard supervisor, Albert Jones, 50, made several attempts to reach her, but every time he approached, he was fired upon and forced to take cover. Eubanks was carried into a classroom by two LAPD officers.Two paramedics tried to save her, but their efforts were in vain. She died on the classroom floor. By late Friday night, three other casualties were in guarded but stable condition, another was in good condition, and the rest had been released from hospitals after treatment of minor injuries. Carlos Lopez, 24, who had been jogging past the school when the shooting began, suffered gunshot wounds to the abdomen and underwent surgery at Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital, where most of his pancreas and spleen were removed. Lopez was listed in "guarded" condition for eight weeks until it worsened and he died on April 13. Victims

Killed

 Shala Eubanks, 10, shot, died within hours
 Carlos Lopez, 24, born and raised in Nayarit, Mexico, moved to Los Angeles when he was 16 performing work at a factory. Over a thousand people attended the ceremony, including Los Angeles school superintendent Harry Handler and members of the school board; school principal Charles Jackson, and almost 100 teachers and students.The funeral of Carlos Lopez was held on Saturday, April 21. Nearly 100 friends and relatives throughout the Los Angeles area, most of them factory workers like Lopez, gathered at Park Lawn Cemetery in the City of Commerce. After the shooting, the LAPD convened a board of inquiry, with representatives from the city and county's Fire, Mental Health, and Health Services departments and advocacy groups for the mentally ill to study whether <mask>'s violent outburst might have been predicted or prevented. In 1991, California passed a law that mandated a 15-day (later 10-day) waiting period for the sale of rifles and shotguns and a background check on the buyer of the weapon. Motive
<mask>'s motive remains unclear. According to his uncle, <mask> had been in the house all day on the day of the shooting. Many believe that his actions were linked to the deaths of his immediate family at Jonestown.A toxicological study of <mask>'s body fluids postmortem by the Los Angeles County coroner found no PCP or other illegal drugs, and only a small amount of alcohol, .03%, less than a third of the legal limit.

<mask> (June 17, 1919 – March 23, 1998) was an American sportscaster, best known for his broadcasts for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. His brother <mask> was also a sportscaster. Early life and career
A native of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, <mask> began his broadcasting career on local radio in the late 1930s. (Fellow announcer Bill McColgan, in his introduction of <mask> for the radio broadcast of the 1957 NFL Championship Game, stated that <mask> started broadcasting when he was only 17 years old.) Following a stint in the U.S. Army during World War II, he moved to Pittsburgh, where he did play-by-play for Carnegie Tech and University of Pittsburgh football and Duquesne University basketball. Green Bay Packers and CBS Sports
<mask>'s first NFL broadcasts came in 1953 over the DuMont network; three years later he began doing play-by-play on Packers broadcasts for CBS,

<mask> was paired primarily with Tony Canadeo on Packers telecasts. As the team's play-by-play announcer, <mask> broadcast Super Bowl I and II for CBS, along with the brutally cold "Ice Bowl" NFL championship game of 1967.It was during this period that his terse, minimalist style (e.g. : "Starr . . . Dowler . . . Touchdown, Green Bay!") developed its greatest following. It also earned him a reputation as the "King of Understatement". <mask> was also known for only occasionally using team names while broadcasting, more often identifying them by their city.In 1968, CBS ended its practice of assigning dedicated announcing crews to particular teams. <mask> became the play-by-play announcer on CBS' lead NFL broadcast team. He was partnered with Paul Christman in 1968 and 1969 and Pat Summerall from 1970 to 1973. During his tenure with CBS he called four Super Bowls, seven NFL (later NFC) championship games, and the 1961 Orange Bowl; he also called major college bowl games for ABC and NBC during this period. Baseball broadcasting
<mask> was the lead television and radio announcer for Major League Baseball's Minnesota Twins from  to , calling the 1965 World Series on NBC television alongside Vin Scully, the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers. <mask>'s famous minimalist style was evident in his call of Lou Johnson's home run that broke a scoreless tie and proved to be the game winner ("Kaat's pitch, uh-oh, it's a long fly down the left field line. Home run").After Sandy Koufax struck out his tenth hitter for the final out of the series, <mask> stated "every pitcher likes to end a game with a strikeout. But this was not just any game. It was the 7th game of the World Series." After leaving Minnesota he called games for the Washington Senators in 1970–71 before returning to the Twins as a part-time announcer in 1973–75. <mask> also called Milwaukee Brewers telecasts in 1976–77. Later life and career
CBS dismissed <mask> in 1974, replacing him with his color commentator, Summerall. He was subsequently employed as a local radio announcer by the Kansas City Chiefs (1974–75), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1976–77), and Minnesota Vikings (1978–82).<mask> also served as a narrator for the NFL Films Game of the Week in the 1970s and called play-by-play of Phoenix Suns basketball in 1974–75, syndicated broadcasts of Penn State football from 1975–81, the USFL's Arizona Wranglers in 1983 and 1984, and the Portland Breakers in the 1985 season. In 1988, <mask> was one of several veteran announcers to call some September NFL telecasts for NBC, while many of the network's regular broadcasters were working at that year's Summer Olympics in Seoul. <mask> also called UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Minnesota, and Nebraska football in the '80s; broadcast college basketball and golf at various points in his career; and teamed with Patrick Ryan while doing high school and college football in and around Billings, Montana. From 1986 to 1988, he called the annual Peach Bowl game for the Mizlou Television Network; at the same time, he was a sportscaster at KTVK in Phoenix, having wintered in Arizona since 1968. In the later years of his life he hosted a syndicated talk show on the short-lived SportsAmerica Radio Network. In addition to sportscasting, <mask> also read newscasts at WCCO-FM in Minneapolis in the late 1970s and early '80s. He also broadcast Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota in the late 1980s and thru the 1990s.<mask> died in 1998 at age 78 in Minneapolis following a long illness. He was survived by his second wife, Bonnie, and his first wife, Eda and their five children. Awards and honors
<mask> was twice named National Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, was given regional awards by that organization 12 times in four different states, and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1982. Posthumous honors include induction into the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame in 1998, receipt of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000, and induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame as a contributor in July 2001. <mask> was ranked 28th in the American Sportscasters Association's list of the Top 50 Sportscasters of All Time in 2009. His bare-bones style has inspired many sportscasters. References

<mask> (born 27 February 1980) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played as a  in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. An Australian international and Queensland State of Origin representative, he played club football for the Wests Tigers (whom he led to the 2005 premiership, winning the Clive Churchill Medal), the Gold Coast Titans, Brisbane Broncos and the North Queensland Cowboys. <mask> was born in Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia, and played junior rugby league for Town Lions in the Mount Isa competition. He attended high school at Ignatius Park College in Townsville where he went through the rugby league programme. North Queensland
He then began his NRL career by working his way up through the North Queensland Cowboys juniors before debuting in the top grade in the newly reunited competition's first season. Brisbane
Having won the 2000 NRL Premiership, the Broncos traveled to England to play against 2000's Super League V Champions, St Helens R.F.C. for the 2001 World Club Challenge, with <mask> playing at halfback in Brisbane's loss.The Broncos were defeated by St Helens R.F.C. 18-20 after leading 12-6 at half-time. At the end of the 2002 season, <mask> was named the Brisbane Broncos Clubman of the Year. <mask>'s playing days at the Brisbane Broncos were marred by injury that severely limited his game time. <mask> broke his leg on two separate occasions, leading to him being released by the club. Wests Tigers
<mask> starred at the Wests Tigers, becoming captain of the club and making his debut for Queensland and Australia during his time at the club. He was selected as the Maroons halfback for all 3 games of the 2004 State of Origin series.<mask> also captained Wests Tigers to their inaugural grand final win in 2005, at the same time winning the Clive Churchill Medal for Man of the Match.

It was announced that <mask> would replace the injured Darren Lockyer in the second game of the 2008 Origin series. It was initially revealed by the selectors that they were reluctant to select <mask> alongside fellow halfback Johnathan Thurston in the Queensland halves as they feared that both he and Thurston would get into each other's ways during the game, however on the night both complemented each other's game and led Queensland to a record win against the Blues (Thurston, for his part was forced to shift to five-eighth to cover for Lockyer's loss). Having replaced Darren Lockyer, <mask> himself was injured early in game three of the series, breaking his left forearm, in a game Queensland won 16–10 to win a third consecutive series. In all <mask> played five Origins, for three wins and two losses. In August 2008, <mask> was named in the preliminary 46-man Kangaroos squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, and in October 2008 he was selected in the final 24-man Australia squad. He also played one match in the World Cup against England.In April 2009, he was named in the preliminary 25 man squad to represent Queensland in the opening State of Origin match for 2009. <mask> finished the 2009 NRL season as the fifth highest point scorer in the league, with 172 points (7 tries, 72 goals). In 2009 <mask> signed a new contract which would have kept him at the Gold Coast until 2014. However he was released from his contract at the end of the 2012 season. <mask> currently has many of the Gold Coast Titans' individual records, such as the person with the most points scored (603), most points in a match (20) and most points in a season (182). <mask> rejoined the Brisbane Broncos for the 2013 NRL season. He announced his retirement from the NRL on 26 August 2013, effective at season's end.On 5 September, <mask> played his 300th and last NRL game; as well as his 50th game for the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. His final game was a 16-11 win over Canterbury-Bankstown, where he made a try-saving tackle in the 15th minute and had kicked 2 goals successfully (but missed one). At the end of his final game, his teammates rushed to hug him when the full-time siren sounded; sending him out as a winner. Post-NRL
In 2019 <mask> coached the Queensland Under 20s team alongside Paul Dyer, losing 36-10 to the New South Wales Under 20s at ANZ Stadium. In 2020, <mask> came out of retirement to play for the semi-professional Brisbane rugby league football club Fortitude Valley Diehards in the 2020 season of the Brisbane Rugby League premiership competition. He is contracted to play 10 games, plus the finals series, should the team make it that far. Statistics
