title: Ben Bamfuchile

texts:
<mask> (12 April 1960 – 27 December 2007), also known as <mask>, was a Zambian football defender and coach. <mask> played for the Nkana Red Devils in the 1980s and later coached the same team, as well as the Zambia national football team from 1998 to 2000, holding the distinction of qualifying Zambia to the 2000 African Cup of Nations with best record amongst all the teams of 5 wins and a draw in the 6 qualifying games. <mask> also coached Namibia and therefore coached and led two different teams to the African Cup of Nations; the Zambia national football team in the 2000 African Cup of Nations, and the Namibia national football team in 2008. He managed Namibia from 2006 until his death. Playing career
<mask> started out by playing for youth teams Chamboli and Luanshiba in Kitwe before joining Nkana Red Devils then known as Rhokana United in 1977. He made his debut for Nkana that same year at right-back in a match against Green Buffaloes in Lusaka which Nkana lost 2–1. According to Bamfuchile, he found it hard to cope with the pace and faked an injury in the 2nd minute but was quickly forced back on by the coaching bench.For some unclear reason, <mask> was known as <mask> when he was a defender at Nkana alongside players like Jericho Shinde, Fighton Simukonda, Kapambwe Mulenga and Michael Chabala. He scored a career three goals for Nkana and was part of the great Devils team that dominated Zambian league soccer in the 80s and early 90s winning a record 11 titles including 1983 when they finished the season without losing a single league game. <mask> also made a handful of appearances for the national team and was part of the victorious squad that won the 1984 Confederation of East & Central Africa Football Association (CECAFA) Cup in Uganda though he was not a regular as he fell behind other defenders such as Jones Chilengi, John 'Butcher' Mwanza and Fighton Simukonda. Pabili made another appearance at the CECAFA the following year in Zimbabwe where Zambia failed to defend their title and he scored a goal in Zambia's 2–2 draw with Malawi. While in his prime, <mask> was at the age of 29 asked by the Nkana management team to stop playing football and embark on a coaching career as the then Nkana head coach Moses Simwala was experiencing poor health. He got the nod ahead of players who had had more illustrious careers such as former Zambia stars Emmanuel Mwape and Jericho Shinde. Coaching career
<mask> began his coaching career in 1990 as an assistant under Simwala, the man he described as his mentor.When Simwala died in 1992, <mask> took over as head coach and went about purging the older players who were living on past glory. The Red Devils changed their name to Nkana Football Club and swept almost all the silverware that year. He later left Nkana and coached in Swaziland and South Africa but later returned to coach Power Dynamos. After Zambia's disastrous CAN 1998 outing in Burkina Faso where coach Bukhard Ziese was 'suspended' and George Mungwa was installed as caretaker coach for Zambia's final group game but he expressed no interest in having the job on a permanent basis. Obby Kapita took charge for 3 games and then Fighton Simukonda also coached the team on a temporary basis for 5 games, winning that year's COSAFA cup with a 1–0 victory in Zimbabwe. Simukonda was however brought down to earth when Zambia drew their opening CAN 2000 qualification game with a 1–1 draw with Congo DR in Lusaka. FAZ then appointed <mask> as coach and Zambia won all the remaining games, including a 1–0 victory away to Congo DR where Zambia had never won before, finishing the qualifiers with the best record in Africa.Bamfuchile also took charge of the U-23 team during the All Africa Games in Johannesburg in 1999, losing the first game 4–1 to Cameroun but recovering to reach the final where they lost to Cameroun again but this time on penalties after a goalless draw and Zambia went away with the silver medal. However, it was not all plain-sailing and the cracks started appearing when Zambia lost a COSAFA Cup game 1–0 to Angola earning <mask> the dubious distinction of being the coach who lost Zambia's record of not losing a home game for 14 years. In the run-up to the CAN 2000, Bamfuchile worked in difficult circumstances as the Zambian Football Association (FAZ) was at loggerheads with the government over misappropriation of funds for the previous CAN tournament. As a result, funding to the national team was cut off and Bamfuchile worked under very trying conditions, going without being paid for months on end. As a result, Zambia's preparations for the CAN 2000 were shambolic, including a 7–1 humiliation to lowly Honduras after which it was revealed that the team had had to survive on junk food before the game. The tour to the Americas was cut short and the team returned home. Zambia started their CAN 2000 campaign with a 2–0 capitulation to Egypt and two lacklustre draws against Burkina Faso and Senegal promptly ending their interest in the tournament.Fans bayed for <mask>'s blood citing among other reasons and rather unfairly, <mask>'s laid back approach against Egypt where he appeared to be seated throughout the game and not making any changes when Zambia were chasing the game. <mask>'s explanation that he did not want to disturb the rhythm of the team was treated with scorn. FAZ soon bowed to the fans pressure, revealing that Bamfuchile would be sent on leave to enable him attend a coaching course in Europe and an expatriate coach would take his place. George Mungwa took charge of the team for a while until Dutchman Jan Brouwer was appointed although <mask> remarked that the course he was embarking on the European B coaching licence was something he already had and it was like his employers only wanted him to go and pass time in Europe. Bamfuchile was also engaged in a legal battle with his former employers over unpaid wages until FAZ settled what they owed him. Bamfuchile attained this qualification after 6 months and returned to coaching Power Dynamos. When Zambia under Patrick Phiri failed to make it to the 2004 Cup of Nations in Tunisia, Kalusha Bwalya was appointed coach of Zambia in 2003, he picked <mask> as his assistant and though the team missed out on World Cup qualification, they made it to the 2006 Cup of Nations where Zambia only managed a lone victory over South Africa and lost to Tunisia and Guinea and bowed out of the tournament early.When Kalusha Bwalya was forced to resign soon after – in part due to the poor performance at the Nations' Cup but also due to his holding of two positions in the FAZ, that of national coach and Vice-President of the association which was against the FAZ constitution – the FAZ took their time in announcing who would be the new coach. When it became apparent that he was not going to be offered the job, <mask> accepted an offer from the Namibian FA to take over as coach of the Brave Warriors. He quickly went about improving the team's fortunes, instilling some much needed discipline in the ranks. By the end of the 2008 African Nations Cup qualification campaign, Namibia had won their group and <mask> became a hero after he led the Namibians to a 3–2 victory over Ethiopia. However, he threatened to resign from his position and return to his native Zambia in early December 2007 after claiming the Namibian FA had not treated him with respect by not honouring the terms and conditions of his contract, such as providing him with a vehicle and paying him his salary on time. Death
Bamfuchile first fell ill During the COSAFA mini-tournament in Namibia in August 2007 and his assistant Ronnie Kanelelo took over the reins as Namibia crashed out. Although he recovered to guide the team through the Nations' Cup qualifiers, he still had health problems and the Namibian FA went about finding a coach to take the team to the Nations Cup in case his ill-health persisted.Bamfuchile died at a clinic in Kitwe on 27 December 2007 just 3 weeks before the start of the 2008 African Cup of Nations leaving behind a wife Tina and 6 children. At his burial FAZ President Teddy Mulonga described him as a hero who achieved his goals. References

texts:
<mask> (March 19, 1864 – October 24, 1926), also known as C. M<mask>, <mask>, and "Kid<mask>, was an American artist of the American Old West. He created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Native Americans, and landscapes set in the western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures. He is known as "the cowboy artist" and was also a storyteller and author. He became an advocate for Native Americans in the west, supporting the bid by landless Chippewa to have a reservation established for them in Montana. In 1916, Congress passed legislation to create the Rocky Boy Reservation. The C. M. Russell Museum Complex in Great Falls, Montana houses more than 2,000 <mask> artworks, personal objects, and artifacts. Other major collections are held at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Sid Richardson Museum in Fort Worth.His mural Lewis and Clark Meeting the Flathead Indians hangs in the state capitol building in Helena, and his 1918 painting Piegans sold for $5.6 million at a 2005 auction. In 1955, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Childhood
Art was always a part of <mask>'s life. Growing up in Missouri, he drew sketches and made clay figures of animals. <mask> had an intense interest in the "wild west" and would spend hours reading about it. <mask> would watch explorers and fur traders who frequently came through Missouri. He learned to ride horses at Hazel Dell Farm near Jerseyville, Illinois, on a famous Civil War horse named Great Britain.<mask>'s instructor was Col. William H. Fulkerson, who had married into the <mask> family. At the age of sixteen, <mask> left school and went to Montana to work on a sheep ranch. Montana and the West

<mask> left the sheep ranch and found work with Jake Hoover, a hunter and trapper who had become a rancher. He owned land in the Judith Basin. <mask> learned much about the ways of the West from him, and the two men remained lifelong friends. After a brief visit in 1882 to his family in Missouri, <mask> returned to Montana, and lived and worked there for the remainder of his life. He worked as a cowboy for a number of outfits, and documented the harsh winter of 1886–1887 in a number of watercolors.<mask> was working on the O-H Ranch in the Judith Basin of Central Montana at the time. The ranch foreman received a letter from the owner, asking how the cattle herd had weathered the winter. In reply, the foreman sent a postcard-sized watercolor that <mask> had painted of a gaunt steer being watched by wolves under a gray winter sky. The ranch owner showed the postcard to friends and business acquaintances, and eventually displayed it in a shop window in Helena, Montana. After this, the artist began to receive commissions for new work. <mask>'s caption on the sketch, Waiting for a Chinook, became the title of the watercolor. <mask> later painted a more detailed version of the scene which became one of his best-known works.Beginning in 1888, <mask> spent a period living with the Blood Indians, a branch of the Blackfeet nation. Scholars believe that he gained much of his intimate knowledge of Native American culture during this period. When he returned to the Judith Basin in 1889, he found it filling with settlers. He worked in more open places for a couple of years before settling in the area of Great Falls, Montana, in 1892. There he worked to make a living as a full-time artist. In 1896, <mask> married his wife Nancy. He was 32 and she was 18.In 1897, they moved from the small community of Cascade, Montana to the bustling county seat of Great Falls. <mask> spent the majority of the remainder of his life there. He continued with his art, becoming a local celebrity and gaining the acclaim of critics worldwide. As <mask> was not skilled in marketing his work, Nancy is generally given credit for making him an internationally known artist. She set up many shows for <mask> throughout the United States and in London, creating many followers of <mask>. In 1912 he joined cowboy artist Frank Tenney Johnson on a sketching expedition to the Blackfoot Reservation east of Glacier National Park in Montana. In 1913, <mask> painted Wild Horse Hunters, which depicts riders capturing wild horses, each band of which is dominated by a stallion.He used as much color as an artist could on his mountain landscapes. As an artist, <mask> emerged at a time when the Wild West was of intense interest to people who lived in cities, and cattle drives were still being conducted over long distances. He painted images of the Old West that were later adopted by Westerns, which became a movie staple. <mask> was fond of these popular art forms and made many friends among the well-off collectors of his works, including actors and film makers such as William S. Hart, Harry Carey, Will Rogers, and Douglas Fairbanks. <mask> also kept up with fellow artists of the West, including painter Edgar Samuel Paxson, painter Edward "Ed" Borein and Will Crawford the illustrator. On the day of <mask>'s funeral in 1926, the children in Great Falls were released from school so they could watch the funeral procession. <mask>'s coffin was displayed in a glass-sided coach, pulled by four black horses.<mask> produced about 4000 works of art, including oil and watercolor paintings, drawings and sculptures in wax, clay, plaster and other materials, some of which were also cast in bronze.

There is a reference to a painting by <mask> in the Season 3 episode "Explosion!Part 2" of The Big Valley when Jarrod Barkley uncovers a painting titled Jerked Down. The painting wasn't painted until 1907 while the television series supposedly takes place in the late 1800s Stockton, California region. The episode originally aired November 27, 1967. In the 1985 movie Remo Williams, Wilford Brimley's character Harold Smith quotes <mask>: "Guard, protect, and cherish your land, for there is no afterlife for a place that started out as Heaven. <mask><mask>, Montana, 1926"

Fess Parker portrayed <mask> in an unaired Pilot TV show titled “Russell”. It can be seen on Bob Terry’s anthology of The Forsaken Westerns. <mask>’s “Innocent Allies” is featured.In the pilot Charlie is working as a ranch hand and wrangler when he witnesses a stage coach holdup. He befriends a woman passenger, played by Beverly Garland, who has just purchased a local saloon. It is not clear when this pilot was made but it was likely before Parker’s Daniel Boone and after his Davey Crocket series. At the end of the show we are shown several of <mask>’s greatest works. Notable works

<mask>'s works comprised a wide variety of topics, including major historical events and everyday life in the west. His work was noted for the frequency with which he portrayed well-known events from the point of view of Native American people instead of the non-Native viewpoint. He was noted for a keen eye on the social undercurrents of society and the meticulous authenticity with which he portrayed the clothing and equipment of both cowboys and Native people.Historians studying women's roles in the West have critiqued <mask>'s portrayal of women. They note the contrasting levels of sensuality in his depictions of white and native women, as he seemed to transfer sexuality from white to Native women, so as to conform to the moral standards and perceptions of women in his time. Most of <mask>'s portrayals of white women are shown as "pure" and non-sexual, other than those paintings specifically depicting prostitutes. In contrast, his series of five Keeoma paintings and related images show a sensual native woman. They are documented by the statement that Keeoma was a real woman whom <mask> had loved. Photographs exist that show the body model for these images was  <mask>'s wife, Nancy. Critics say that by serving as a model, she could express her sexuality in a way generally not allowed "decent" white women of the time.Timothy Egan, in his 1998 book Lasso the Wind, quotes <mask> as saying, "In my book a pioneer is a man who turned all the grass upside down, strung bob-wire over the dust that was left, poisoned the water, cut down the trees, killed the Indian who owned the land and called it progress."

title: Cathy Dennis

texts:
<mask> (born 25 March 1969) is a British singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. She was the vocalist for D Mob, which had the successful hit single "C'mon and Get My Love". After a successful international solo career, <mask>lo Awards. Notably, she co-wrote "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (recorded by Kylie Minogue), the Britney Spears song "Toxic", and Katy Perry's hit "I Kissed a Girl". In 2004, <mask> was listed 66th in the Q Magazine list of the top 100 most influential people in music and in 2006, she won the UK music industry's Woman of the Year Award. Early life

Educated at Taverham High School, as a teenager she was spotted recording Stevie Wonder-influenced demos at The Kitchen in Norwich with her father (himself an experienced musician and local restaurateur) on piano. At the time she was working for Norwich Union.In 1986, Simon Fuller signed <mask> when she was only 17 to his 19 Management company and to label Polydor, and this began a career-long association with the impresario, that has seen <mask> provide songs for many Fuller-related artists and projects. Performing career
<mask> achieved her first success as a vocalist with D Mob, when their single "C'mon and Get My Love" (which was credited as "introducing" <mask>) reached No. 15 in the UK Singles Chart and No. 10 in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989. It is regarded as an underground classic in the dance music field, and a second collaboration with D Mob, "That's the Way of the World", was also a hit. It was followed by <mask>'s debut album, Move to This. She subsequently scored three solo hits, all of which reached the UK Top 20 and the US Top 10.She enjoyed considerable success in Japan in the early 1990s. The three solo hits were: "Just Another Dream" (UK No. 13, US No. 9, Australia No. 14), which featured D Mob on backing vocals; a cover of the Wish and Fonda Rae 1984 club hit "Touch Me (All Night Long)" (UK No. 5, US No. 2, Australia No.16), which is probably her most remembered hit to date; and "Too Many Walls" (UK No. 17, US No. 8, Australia No. 57). "Touch Me (All Night Long)" stayed at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, and was kept out of the No. 1 spot by Hi-Five's "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)" in the first week, and Mariah Carey's "I Don't Wanna Cry" in the second week.The song was a cover and lyrical reworking of a 1984 single by Wish featuring Fonda Rae, which had peaked at No. 70 on the US R&B chart that year. "Touch Me (All Night Long)" reached No. 1 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, and its follow-up, "Too Many Walls", which <mask> co-wrote with Anne Dudley of Art of Noise (who also co-wrote the ABC track "All of My Heart"), was a No. 1 Adult Contemporary hit in the United States. It was around this time <mask> agreed to join Club MTV's first tour, booked for six weeks. She dropped out on the third date, later publicly accusing one of Milli Vanilli's members (the tour's headline act) of sexual harassment.During this period, she recorded a song called "Find the Key to Your Life" with David Morales, for the soundtrack to the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.

title: Joseph Warren Revere (general)

texts:
<mask> (May 17, 1812 – April 20, 1880) was a career United States Navy and Army officer. Also serving in the Mexican Army, the grandson of <mask> is best known for being a Union Brigadier General during the American Civil War who was court-martialed after the Battle of Chancellorsville. Early life and career
<mask> was born 17 May 1812 and was a grandson of <mask>. His parents were Dr. <mask> and Lydia LeBaron Goodwin. He was named after General <mask>, the famous doctor and general in the American Revolution who was a close friend of his grandfather. In 1828 at age sixteen Revere joined the United States Navy. His tours of duty took him to Europe, the Pacific, and the Baltic States.<mask> traveled the globe and eventually reached the rank of lieutenant. <mask> served in the Second Seminole War but saw little action. He fought in the Mexican–American War and was commended for his bravery in battle. He was the one who pulled down the Bear Flag and raised the American Flag over Sonoma for the first time. He then resigned from the navy in 1850 after almost twenty years of service, and settled down first in California and later in Morristown, New Jersey. <mask> then joined the Mexican Army with the rank of colonel. He was ordered to reorganize the Mexican Artillery Corps and was honored by the Spanish and Mexican Governments.For his rescuing of 13 Spanish citizens Queen Isabella II knighted <mask> in the Order of Isabella the Catholic in 1851. In 1852 <mask> retired to Morristown, New Jersey. The home that he built there, The Willows at Fosterfields, contains several examples of <mask>'s paintings and is now part of the Morris County Park System. The years 1857 and 58 found <mask> touring Europe with his friend, Phil Kearny. He also went to India. He was awarded a British medal for Service in the Indian Mutiny Campaign of 1857–58. He was also present at the Battle of Sulferino during the Italian Campaigns of 1858–59.Civil War service
When the Civil War started in 1861 <mask> tried to join the Union Navy but was informed that there were no officer slots available for him. Having been appointed as head of the New Jersey Militia during the governorship of Rodman Price, he decided to enlist in the Union Army. <mask> was appointed Colonel of the 7th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry and led it into the Peninsula Campaign and the Seven Days Battle. <mask> then fought at the Second Battle of Bull Run where he was commended for his bravery. In October 1862 <mask> was promoted to brigadier general of U.S. Volunteers. At the Battle of Fredericksburg he led a brigade but saw little action.He was later named to command the Excelsior Brigade. <mask>'s most personally challenging moment of his Civil War career came after the Battle of Chancellorsville when 'blame' was being assigned for the Union Army's loss. After charging the Confederate line, division commander Maj. Gen. Hiram Berry was mortally wounded and the command devolved on <mask>. In the chaos of a battle with no clear front line, <mask>'s decision to regroup his men, commanding them to reform at a point set by compass led to controversy. This three-mile march, described by <mask> as a "regrouping effort" and not a retreat, led to his being court-martialed as ordered by General <mask>. Abraham Lincoln overturned the court's ruling and reinstated <mask> but accepted <mask>'s resignation at the same time. As a lifelong member of the Democratic Party, that was probably the best deal <mask> could expect from a Republican administration.In response to this situation, <mask> was voted the honor of the rank of Brevet Major General by the United States Congress in 1866. Postbellum career and death

After his resignation <mask> began traveling the globe and writing books but his health had been affected by his Civil War service. He had suffered from a severe case of rheumatic fever during the Peninsula Campaign and had been severely wounded at the Second Battle of Manassas. He wrote two books, the autobiographical Keel and Saddle: A Retrospect of 40 years of Military and Naval Service and A Tour of Duty in California, including a description of the Gold Region. In 1875 while touring near Vienne in southeast France by chance he visited the ruined chateau of his De Rivoire ancestors. He made a drawing of the coat of arms, Argent three fesses Gules, overall on a bend Azure three fleur-de-lis Or, from which he derived his differenced arms, displayed on his grave marker as Argent 'two' fesses Gules, overall on a bend Azure three flour-de-lis 'palewise' Or. After having bad health for some time, <mask> died on April 21, 1880, in Hoboken, New Jersey, at the age of 67.His name appears but lined through in the 1 June 1880 U.S. Federal Census for his family in the City of Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey. His entire family are buried at Holy Rood Cemetery in Morristown. Legacy
In 1881, his Morris Township, New Jersey farm was purchased by Charles Grant Foster, whose daughter Caroline Rose Foster bequeathed it to the Morris County Parks Commission in 1972 to be preserved as a "Historical Living Historical Farm" where a historical re-enactor portrays General <mask> at educational programs for the public. Although it was renamed Fosterfields, one of the houses on the property (pictured) still bears General <mask>'s name. See also

<mask> (born January 12, 1960) is an American politician currently serving in the California State Senate. He is a Democrat representing the 35th district, encompassing parts of Los Angeles County. Prior to his election to the state senate, he was an assemblymember for the 62nd district of the California State Assembly. <mask> was elected to represent the 51st district in a special election held on September 1, 2009, after Curren Price resigned his seat to take a seat in the California State Senate. He was re-elected in 2010 and, with 72% of the vote, was elected once more to represent the brand new 62nd District, comprising the communities of Del Aire, Del Rey, El Segundo, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, Marina del Rey, West Athens, Westchester, Westmont and Venice Beach. Before his election to the Assembly, <mask> served on the Gardena City Council. Early life and career
<mask> moved to Gardena with his family at age nine.He attended Purche Avenue Elementary School, Henry Clay Junior High School and Gardena High School. Following high school, he attended San Diego State University and California State University, Dominguez Hills, where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and certificate in paralegal studies. <mask> was the first African American elected to the Gardena City Council, a post he held for over 12 years. He served one year as Mayor Pro Tem of the city. He also worked twelve years as a public affairs executive at Southern California Edison, seven years at IBM, and four years as a program director at the Los Angeles Conservation Corps. Assembly career
<mask>'s time in the assembly has been marked by his chairmanship of the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Commerce, which has legislative jurisdiction over electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, private water corporations and other issues related to commerce. Actions taken in this committee affect California homeowners and businesses, the economy, jobs, and the environment.In his role as chair, <mask> has garnered national attention presiding over important hearings investigating major power outages, and how federal, state, and local authorities might better respond to such events and prevent them from happening in the future. In October 2011, <mask> convened a joint legislative hearing with Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Emergency Management, in San Diego to discuss the massive power outage that struck the Pacific Southwest region in September of that year. In February 2012 <mask> and Lowenthal convened another hearing in Alhambra to investigate another major power outage that struck the Los Angeles area as a result of a massive windstorm. Early in 2013, Assembly Speaker John A. Perez named <mask> the Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color. The Select Committee is a bipartisan panel of legislators from around the state tasked with fact finding and making recommendations for addressing the issues facing young men in California, particularly black and Latino boys. In February <mask> accepted an invitation to the White House to attend President Barack Obama's announcement of "My Brother's Keeper," a federal investment in the lives of boys and men of color. The program follows the work Bradford's Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color has done to give young men of color the tools they need to succeed, while dismantling systemic injustices that stand in the way of their success.Legislation
In addition to his management of the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Commerce, <mask> has also authored several pieces of legislation on energy and utilities. In 2012 Governor Jerry Brown signed into law AB 1511, which requires property sellers to inform buyers of important information about natural gas pipelines near their homes. The law was authored in response to the deadly explosion of an underground pipeline in San Bruno, California. <mask> also authored AB 2201, which increases civil penalties on pipeline operators for safety violations. <mask>'s bill brings the cap on penalties under California law into line with those under federal law: $200,000 per day, and a maximum of $2,000,000. <mask> drew national attention for AB 2514, a bill requiring the California Public Utilities Commission to conduct a study examining the costs and benefits of California's net-energy metering (NEM) program. While NEM programs have helped develop solar power industries in countries around the world, <mask> believes they may shift costs unfairly onto homes without solar panels.Bradford closed the 2013 legislative year having 11 bills signed into law by Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. Among these were bills focused on public safety, solar energy, and criminal justice reform:

 AB 128: Following a recommendation made by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), AB 128 reclassifies the Los Angeles World Airports police department under Penal Code 830.1. Officers with 830.1 status are considered full peace officers, equivalent to municipal police departments. Without 830.1 status, airport officers are prohibited from removing vehicles, seizing drugs or weapons, or other functions for which they may need to wait for backup to arrive. Bradford, whose district includes Los Angeles International Airport, introduced the bill ten years after the POST recommendation. Earlier versions of the bill died in the Legislature. AB 170: For purposes of obtaining an assault weapons permit, under current law a "person" is defined as an "individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, or any other group or entity."AB 170 limits the definition of a person to an individual. AB 217: Extends existing financial support for solar installations on low-income households. The California Solar Initiative (CSI) directs 10 percent of its funding to solar subsidies for low and very-low income households. AB 217 extends this component for another six years after the CSI sunsets. AB 651: Gives judges more discretion to grant an expungement of a low-level offense when the offender has completed supervision, paid restitution, and demonstrated a commitment to reentry. AB 721: Clarifies the existing drug trafficking statute, which allows prosecutors to add a felony transportation charge to a person found physically moving any amount of illegal drugs. AB 721 adds the words "with the intent to sell" to clarify the Legislature's intent to punish drug dealers.An individual may still be eligible for a drug possession charge, but prosecutors will now have to show an individual had the intent to sell in order to qualify for an additional trafficking charge. AB 1371: The Three Feet for Safety Act establishes a minimum three-foot buffer around bicyclists on public roads in California. Motorists wishing to pass a cyclist must keep a distance of at least three feet, or slow to a safe and prudent speed if there is not enough room to give three feet. <mask>'s version of the bill was the fifth attempt at a safe passing distance in California. Earlier versions died in the Legislature twice, and were twice vetoed by the Governor. The safe passing distance took effect September 16, 2014. By the close of the 2014 legislative year, <mask> had sent 15 bills to the governor's desk.As of September 21, he had already signed AB 2634, which gives courts "greater authority to issue injunctions against police departments that have a history of civil rights violations." Still awaiting gubernatorial action are bills including:
 AB 2673: Sponsored by City Attorney Mike Feuer and endorsed by the Los Angeles Times, this bill eliminates "the use of civil compromise in misdemeanor hit-and-run collisions that result in injury or death." Under current law, a hit-and-run driver may reach a civil compromise—usually a financial settlement—and have criminal charges dropped. This bill ensures that hit-and-run drivers face criminal responsibility for their actions. AB 1327: Jointly authored with Assembly Members Jeff Gorell and Bill Quirk, this bill establishes regulations for public agencies wishing to deploy unmanned aerial vehicles. Among those, agencies would need a warrant and to give public notice before deploying a drone; would be required to destroy any data and images collected from a drone within one year, unless part of an ongoing investigation; and would be expressly prohibited from arming a drone with weapons. This bill has been endorsed by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and the San Jose Mercury News.Electoral history
<mask> was elected in a 2009 special election, following the resignation of Curren Price, who had recently won election to the California State Senate. He was elected to his first outright term in 2010. Following the 2010 Census, California's legislative districts were redrawn. <mask> ran for the newly drawn 62nd district, which maintained many of the cities from the previous 51st district. <mask> was endorsed for election to the 62nd Assembly district by the local newspaper of the South Bay, the Daily Breeze. His electoral results are shown below. References

title: James Abourezk

texts:
<mask> (born February 24, 1931) is an American attorney and politician who served as a United States Representative and United States Senator from South Dakota. He was the first Greek Orthodox Christian of Lebanese-Antiochite descent to serve in the United States Senate. He was generally viewed as critical of US foreign policy in the Middle-East and North Africa (MENA) area, particularly regarding Palestine and Israel. A Democrat, he represented South Dakota in the United States Senate from 1973 until 1979. He was the author of the Indian Child Welfare Act, passed by Congress in 1978 to try to preserve Indian families and tribal culture, by arranging for placement of Indian children in homes of their cultures, as well as to reunite them with families. It gives preference to tribal courts in custody of Indian children domiciled on reservations, and concurrent but presumptive jurisdiction in cases of children outside the reservation. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Wood, South Dakota, the son of Lena (née Mickel), a homemaker, and <mask>, an owner of two general stores.His parents were of Lebanese and Native American descent. He grew up near Wood on the Rosebud Reservation and has lived in South Dakota most of his life. Between 1948 and 1952, <mask> served in the United States Navy during the Korean War. After his military service, he earned a degree in civil engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines in Rapid City in 1961 and a J.D. degree from University of South Dakota School of Law in Vermillion in 1966. He began a legal practice in Rapid City, South Dakota. Political career
<mask> joined the Democratic Party and became active in South Dakota.He ran in 1968 for Attorney General of South Dakota but was defeated by Gordon Mydland. <mask> continued to seek opportunities. He was elected in 1970 as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives, and served from 1971 to 1973. In 1972 he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served from 1973 to 1979. He declined to run for another term. In 1974, TIME magazine named Senator Abourezk as one of the "200 Faces for the Future". As a senator, Abourezk criticized the Office of Public Safety (OPS), a U.S. agency linked to the USAID and the CIA, and which provided training to foreign police forces.Officers they trained were used to suppress civilians in several countries in Central and South America during a period of military governments, dirty wars, and social disruption. <mask> also was instrumental in the creation of both the American Indian Policy Review Commission and the Select Committee on Indian Affairs. Deeply interested in representing the tribes in Congress to work toward better federal relations, he chaired the Policy Review Commission the entire time it existed. He took the gavel as chair of the Indian Affairs Committee from its creation in 1977 to 1979, when he retired. His signature legislation was the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA, 1978), designed to protect Indian children and families from being torn apart. Indian children have been removed by state social agencies from their families and placed in foster care or adoption at a disproportionately high rate, and usually placed with non-Indian families. This both deprived the children of their culture and threatened the very survival of the tribes.This legislation was intended to provide a federal standard that emphasized the needs of Indian children to be raised in their own cultures, and gave precedence to tribal courts for decisions about children domiciled on the reservation, as well as concurrent but presumptive jurisdiction with state courts for Indian children off the reservation. He also authored and passed the Indian Self Determination Act, which provided Indian tribes with greater autonomy. The BIA made grants to the tribes but they could manage contracts and funds to control their own destiny. That legislation also reduced the direct influence of the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the tribes. <mask> was an early supporter of a National initiative. With fellow Senator Mark O. Hatfield (R-OR), he introduced an amendment to support more direct democracy. However, this initiative failed.In 1978, <mask> chose not to run for re-election. He was succeeded in office by Republican Larry Pressler, with whom he has had a long-running political feud. Advocacy

Following his retirement in 1980, <mask> founded the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a grassroots civil rights organization. In 1989, he published his Advise and Dissent: Memoirs of South Dakota and the U.S. Senate (). He is the co-author, along with Hyman Bookbinder, of Through Different Eyes: Two Leading Americans — a Jew and an Arab — Debate U. S. Policy in the Middle East (1987), (). In 2003, <mask> sued website ProBush.com for defamation. In 2007, <mask> gave an interview to the Hezbollah funded news channel Al-Manar TV.In this interview <mask> says that he believes that Zionists used the terrorists that perpetrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks as a way to sow Islamophobia, that Zionists control the United States Congress, and that Hezbollah and Hamas are resistance fighters. Since his retirement from the Senate, <mask> has worked as a lawyer and writer in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He has continued to be active in supporting tribal sovereignty and culture. In July 2015 he spoke out against a suit filed against the ICWA by the Goldwater Institute of Arizona; it was one of three suits seeking to overturn the act. Some states and adoption groups, who make money off adoptions, have opposed any prohibitions on their placements of Indian children. <mask> has considered this his signature legislation and the new rules instrumental in protecting Indian children and preserving tribal families. He noted that the late Senator Barry Goldwater, his friend and colleague, had voted for the legislation in 1977 and had often consulted with him in tribal matters.Huffington Post writer <mask> in 2014 praised Abourezk as a "bold and courageous former Senator" for protesting to the FBI after the ABSCAM operation.

title: Alexander Donaldson (bookseller)

texts:
<mask> (1727 – 11 March 1794) was a Scottish bookseller, publisher, and printer. <mask> was the founding publisher of the weekly newspaper, the Edinburgh Advertiser. He was also known for selling cheap copies of books after their copyright had expired in disregard to London booksellers' opinions on literary property. Early years
<mask> was the son of Dr <mask> (died 1754), a textile manufacturer and Treasurer of Edinburgh. His mother was Elizabeth Weir (died 1768). He had an older brother, John. His paternal grandfather was Capt.<mask>, publisher of The Edinburgh Gazette. <mask> inherited approximately £10,000 from his father. In 1748, he opened a bookselling shop in Edinburgh. Two years later, on 29 August 1750, he was made a Burgess and Guild Brother of Edinburgh by right of his father in lieu of an apprenticeship. He married a merchant's daughter, Anna Marshall, on 10 January 1751 and may have received a substantial dowry. Career
Having the financial wherewithal, <mask> become a junior partner of <mask> from 1751–58. In its first year, Kincaid & Donaldson published Dr. Francis Home's  Essay on the Contents and Virtues of Dunse-Spaw and Henry Home's Essays on the Principles of Morality and Natural Religion.In 1752, Kincaid & Donaldson was the sole publisher David Hume's Political Discourses. After <mask> left Kincaid, his involvement with the Scottish Enlightenment's new books was essentially over, with the exception of his involvement with James Boswell. Kincaid went on to become Lord Provost of Edinburgh. <mask> joined the printing firm of Sands Donaldson Murray & Cochran in 1755–1759. He worked with John Reid at Castlehill from 1760 until 1765. In 1764, they began printing and publishing the Edinburgh Advertiser, though Reid remained with the newspaper for less than a year. <mask> maintained at least two book shops while publishing the twice-weekly Advertiser, one being at the Strand, London, and the other in Edinburgh.From 1765 until 1772, he had a shop at Castlehill. <mask> and his older brother John also owned a bookstore in London, selling books that were printed in Scotland until July 1773 at which time John remained at the Arundel Street shop, and <mask> moved to St Paul's Churchyard. In 1774, after ten years printing and publishing the Edinburgh Advertiser, <mask> turned it over to his 22-year-old son, James. Battle of the booksellers

<mask> was a notable "purveyor of cheap reprints" that were no longer protected by the Statute of Anne in a time known as the "Battle of the booksellers". His attitude towards copyright was not embraced by London merchants who stood to lose large sums of money over books printed in Edinburgh and sold in London. The English poet Samuel Johnson disliked <mask>, and criticised him, saying, "[<mask>] is a fellow who takes advantage of the law to injure his brethren..."

While he made a fortune in his reprint business, he and others also bore the expense of legal actions in this regard. These included Osborne v Donaldson (1765), against publisher Thomas Osborne, and Millar v Donaldson (1765); in 1769, <mask> sued Reid over printing-house practices.In 1773, London bookseller James Hinton and Edinburgh writer <mask>'Conochie sued <mask> and John Wood in Edinburgh, and John Meurose in Kilmarnock over copyright infringement of several titles. <mask> and his brother John were appellants in  <mask> v Beckett (1774), against the printers and booksellers Thomas Becket (or Beckett) (previously apprenticed to British publisher Andrew Millar), Peter Abraham de Hondt, John Rivington, William Johnson, William Strahan, Thomas Longman, William Richardson, John Richardson, Thomas Lowndes, Thomas Caslon, George Kearsley, Henry Baldwin, William Owen, Thomas Davies, and Thomas Cadell. The case resulted in a ruling by the British House of Lords on the issue of perpetual common law copyright and copyright as a statute that could have a limited duration. James Boswell was <mask>'s advocate in at least three of these lawsuits, Donaldson v Beckett, <mask> v Reid and Hinton v Donaldson. Boswell, best known as Samuel Johnson's biographer, referred to <mask> as "the prodigious Vendor of Literature", and the "Great <mask>". <mask> published several of Boswell's works. Personal life
It is unlikely that <mask> is the same <mask> mentioned as a founding member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as that gentleman is described as a Professor of Oriental Languages at Edinburgh University.He retired in 1789 and bought Broughton Hall, located a mile to the northeast of central Edinburgh, which had been the residence of Archibald Stewart, Lord Provost of Edinburgh (1745). He died at Broughton Hall in 1794, leaving an estate valued at £100,000. He is buried in Greyfriars Churchyard. His surviving son, James (1751–1830), inherited the Edinburgh business. He, too, died at Broughton Hall, in 1830. James was the benefactor of Donaldson's Hospital after his death. Partial works
