August Nitschke

August Nitschke (born September 18, 1926 in Hamburg; † September 2, 2019 in Tübingen ) was a German historian and co-founder of the Historical anthropology movement. Life August Nitschke was the eldest son of the pediatrician Halle Alfred Nitschke (1898–1960) and the physician Maria Nitschke (1897–1991). He grew up in Hamburg, Berlin. After his military service, he studied in Göttingen. There, he was awarded a doctorate in 1951. From 1950 to 1952 he worked as a tutor and assistant at the Leibniz College. Soon after, he received a grant from the German Research Foundation which enabled him to work for three years in Rome, where he edited the medieval chronicle at Saba Malaspina. He was the first historian to go to the then TH Stuttgart after the war. There he published the "Propyläen Weltgeschichte"[de], an anthropological treatise, with Golo Mann. He taught at the Historical Institute of the University of Stuttgart, which he co-founded in 1960. The establishment of the “History” and “History of Science and Technology” courses can be traced back to his work. In 1968/69 he was Dean of the then "Faculty for natural sciences and humanities", in 1970/71 and 1978/79 he served as vice-rector and temporarily took over the office of rector. In these functions and as a long-term member of the Senate, he strongly advocated the expansion of the Technical University of Stuttgart into a full university. For the SDR he designed the series Funkkolleg Geschichte (1979) and Funkkolleg Jahrhundertwende (1988). In 1987 he worked as a visiting scholar at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, 1991/92 at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research at Bielefeld University and followed invitations to the USA, Japan and China. August Nitschke was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on October 17, 1986 for his services to historical research at home and abroad, especially for the organization of the International Congress of Historians in Stuttgart together with Eberhard Jäckel in 1980. Nitschke's students and employees included Dieter R. Bauer, Johannes Burkhardt, Henning Eichberg, Ekkehard Eickhoff, Andreas Kalckhoff, Sönke Lorenz, Harald Kleinschmidt, Tilman Struve, Wolfgang Stürner and Johannes Zahlten. After his retirement on September 30, 1994, he continued to work in various academic and journalistic fields, including the Northeastern University in Shenyang. Research Dialogue with the natural sciences Nitschke's early works were from the era of the investiture controversy, Staufer Sicily, and source studies of the 13th century. Together with Golo Mann, he published the "Propylaea World History" from 1960–1964. Working at a university with a focus on engineering led him to ask about the historical conditions of scientific knowledge and technical action. For decades he has successfully sought dialogue with the natural and engineering sciences. This resulted in cooperation in the form of joint courses, conferences and publications. With two radio colleges on the methodology of historical research and on the culture of the turn of the century (1900) Nitschke reached a broad public. Historical behavior research His efforts to achieve methodical communication with the natural sciences led him to "historical behavior research", which later led to "historical anthropology". In doing so, he focused on the historical change in physical and space-oriented behavior as a mirror of social and political change. The observation and description of human behavior beyond intentions, justifications and so-called worldviews should make historical processes measurable in a certain way. As fields of observation he mainly used art, dance, sports, games, descriptions of nature and fairy tales. Pioneering works in this direction are: “Knowledge of nature and political action in the Middle Ages. Body, Movement, Space ”(1967) “ Art and Behavior. Analogue configurations ”(1975) “ Historical behavior research. Analyzes of social behavior ”(1981) “ Questions in historical anthropology ”(1984) “ Bodies in motion. Gestures, dances and spaces in the course of history ”(1989). History of mentality with an interdisciplinary approach Part of this approach to natural science was that on the one hand he made the methods of biological behavior research fruitful for the science of history and, on the other hand, wanted it to benefit from the insights of ethnology. In the ways of life and ways of thinking of indigenous peoples, he recognized an approach particularly to the older epochs of European history. In it he met with similar efforts of the French mentality research (mentality history) for the magazine "Annales". Like his colleagues, the study of non-European history and intercultural comparison has always been a strong research concern for him.

Elizabeth Nichols Dyar

Elizabeth Nichols Dyar (1751-June 4, 1818) was a New England woman living during the American Revolution, who was married to patriot and war hero Joseph Dyar. She is best known for her role in the Boston Tea Party, in which she along two other women, mixed and applied paint to the men in order to disguise them as Mohawk Indians. Family life Elizabeth Nichols Dyar was born in 1751 in Malden, Massachusetts. On May 2, 1771, at the age of twenty Elizabeth married Joseph Dyar. Joseph was born in England in 1747. In his youth he came to the American Colonies and became a sea captain, sailing from Boston in the foreign trade industry. The pair went on to have seven children: Joseph 1st, who died in infancy; Joseph 2nd; James; Elizabeth; John Nichols; Ebenezer, and Sally. Their son John Nichols Dyar, born in Malden, MA, became the first settler in the town of Freeman, ME Role in the Revolutionary War In 1763 The Dyars lived in a neighborhood in Boston's North End, and were active and respected members of the community. Elizabeth's husband Joseph Dyar was a member of the revolutionary organization Sons of Liberty, a group whose goal was to advance the rights of the European colonists and to fight taxation by the British government. The turning point that got Elizabeth involved in the fight against the British was the Tea Act. Like most women of her time Dyar was an active tea drinker who stated tea is "the cup that cheers but not inebriates." For Elizabeth the Tea Act was the final push, she joined her husband in the protest against the British Government. On December 16, 1773, Joseph Dyar and other members of Sons of Liberty gathered in the kitchen of the Dyars home where the 22 year old Elizabeth and two other Daughters of Liberty prepared and applied stains and paint to the faces and bodies of the men to transform them into Mohawk Indians. After the men boarded ships in Boston Harbor and destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company. Before Joseph left on that fateful night, Elizabeth had one request: that he bring her a handful of tea. When he returned home he produced the handful of tea and dashed it into the fire. He raged that not even she would partake of the tea." Following the Boston Tea Party, the British occupied the city of Boston. Friends and family members of the Dyars feared for their safety during this time, since they believed that if their involvement in the Tea Party was found out, their lives could be endangered. So in order to protect her children, Elizabeth with the help of friends was able to smuggle herself and her children across British lines in an butcher cart, to safety to stay at her childhood home in Malden, Massachusetts. While Elizabeth focused on taking care of her family during the following years leading up to and during the war, Joseph engaged in the war by smuggling supplies for the American Army across the colonies. Joseph was captured a total nine times by the British during the course of the war. The last time being stripped, flogged, and deprived of food for three days. In his weakened condition he died in 1783 from the effects of his capture. His body was returned to his family and buried in Malden. After the Revolution Following the end of war and the death of her husband, Elizabeth moved to Maine (which was a territory of Massachusetts at the time) with her son John, his wife, and family. John bought 600 acre tract of land in Freeman, ME. Where he built a large colonial mansion sized home, called "Prospect Farm". At the Farm Elizabeth lived out the rest of her life till her death on June 4, 1818. Remembrance Her role in helping to boycott the Tea Act has made her a popular figure in the women's organization the Daughters of the American Revolution. In which several chapters around the country are named after Dyar. In the September of 1923 the Colonel Asa Whitcomb Chapter of the DAR in Kingfield, Maine, made a formal memorial in her honor. The Tablet reads on her memorial: TO COMMEMORATE THE PATRIOTISM OF ELIZABETH NICHOLS DYAR ONE OF THREE YOUNG WOMEN WHO MIXED AND APPLIED THE PAINT TO DISGUISE AS INDIANS THE MEN OF THE BOSTON TEA PARTY DECEMBER 16, 1773 WITH HER CHILDREN SHE WAS SMUGGLED THROUGH THE LINES TO MALDEN PASSED LATTER PART OF LIFE HERE WITH YOUNGEST SON, JOHN NICHOLS DYAR ON PROSPECT FARM AND WAS BURIED ON THIS SPOT.

Paul J. Scheuer

Paul Josef Scheuer (born 25 May 1915 in Heilbronn; died 12 January 2003 in Hawaii) was a German/American chemist. Biography Born in 1915 in Heilbronn, Scheuer completed his school education in 1934 at the Realgymnasium Heilbronn. As a Jew, he was unable to take up studies in Germany because of the racial laws[3]. He began training in a leather tannery. Arranged by his supervisor, he switched to a tannery in Pécs in southern Hungary, which specialised in fine leather, in December 1935 and later worked in Simontornya. There the technical manager, a doctor of chemistry, taught him the chemical background of leather production. He was "fascinated with chemistry as an intellectual challenge" and decided to become a chemist. In 1937, he visited Germany for the funeral of his mother one time before last. Until autumn 1938 he spent time in tanneries in Yugoslavia and England. As the threat of war in Europe increased, he emigrated to the United States in 1938, working first as a packer of leather and later as a foreman in a tannery in Ayer, Massachusetts. In autumn 1939 he enrolled as an evening student at Northeastern University in Boston. A year later he moved to Boston and studied full-time at the College of Liberal Arts, where he received a B.S. in 1943. He then moved to Harvard University and chose Robert B. Woodward as his supervisor. He worked on addition reactions to bind ketene to alpha-vinylpyridine. For two years and four months he was contracted for the Chemical Warfare Service, which is responsible for chemical weapons in the U.S. Army. In January 1945, he was transferred to Fort Ritchie, Maryland, and trained in military intelligence. A few days before the end of the war, he flew to Paris and travelled on to Bavaria. With the exception of the Nuremberg Trials, he describes his fourteen months as a special agent in Germany as "uneventful". He resumed his studies in September 1946, financed by the G. I. Bill. Among his instructors were Gilbert Stork and Morris Kupchan. Scheuer received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1950. In July 1950 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Hawaii, and decided to set off for a "nebulous future" on the island with his fiancée Alice Dash. They married at Harvard on September 5 and travelled from San Francisco to Hawaii on the passenger ship SS Lurline. He remained at the University of Hawaii until his retirement in 1985. Paul Scheuer had four children. He died in Hawaii at the age of 87 of leukemia. Career At the University of Hawaii, Scheuer came into contact with researchers from botany, marine biology, and agricultural science. He recognised that Hawaii, with its largely unexplored endemic flora, offered good opportunities for research into biodiversity and natural products. For example, he did research on the kava plant with Rudolf Hänsel from the Free University of Berlin, but soon turned his attention to the chemical ecology of marine ecosystems. For 20 years, his institute conducted research on ciguatoxins, the structure of which his former post-doctoral researcher Takeshi Yasumoto was able to unlock in 1989. Later, Scheuer participated in the "War on Cancer" proclaimed by U.S. President Richard Nixon and developed drugs based on substances he had extracted from Elysia rufescens, a sea slug. He contributed to nearly 300 scientific articles and reviews. The field of molecular and chemical biotechnology, which he co-founded, has developed into an important branch of organic chemistry. Awards and Honours His former students initiated the Paul J. Scheuer award in Marine Natural Products in 1992. He was the first recipient. In 1994, he received the Ernest Guenther Award of the American Chemical Society and the Research Achievement Award of the American Society of Pharmacognosy.

Early life and career Anjimile was born in 1993 and raised in Dallas before eventually moving to Boston. Growing up, they started playing guitar at 11, and sang in choirs starting in the fifth grade and continuing until college. Their early musical influence came through listening to their dad's Oliver Mtukudzi albums in the car, and early Sufjan Stevens. Later influences were getting sober and connecting with their Black Malawian roots. Anjimile identified as a lesbian for 10 years, before coming out as trans. They self-describe as "queer/trans/boy king" and use both they/them and he/him pronouns. Anjimile began writing songs when they were a music industry student at Northeastern University, and wrote most of their most recent album Giver Taker while in rehab in Florida in 2016, where they got sober. In 2018, they entered NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert contest, and a panel from Boston affiliate WBUR named them the best entrant from Massachusetts. The following year, a Live Arts Boston grant from a pair of local non-profit foundations gave them the budget to make Giver Taker.   The album was awarded one of the best 50 albums of 2020. Anjimile released their first full-length album in 2020 titled Giver Taker on Father/Daughter Records.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip%20Pizzo

Phillip Pizzo

Phillip A. Pizzo (born 1950), known as The Mall Rapist, is an American serial rapist who committed numerous assaults against women and girls in the Greater Boston area between 1983 and 1984. In November 1984, Pizzo was convicted of kidnapping and raping seven, and received 11 life imprisonment terms with a chance of parole. He later confessed to having raped 20 women. Pizzo's crimes caused a moral panic, due to which any possible victims were advised to refrain from visiting malls or shopping centers unaccompanied. Biography Phillip Pizzo was born in 1950, in the town of Winchester, Massachusetts. His father was engaged in entrepreneurial activities, thanks to which the family was well off, but despite this, both Phillip and his mother were often beaten by his father. Being weak-willed, Phillip's mother was indifferent about raising her children and acted coldly towards them, rarely acting when they were beaten by their father. This attitude greatly affected the young boy's personality, from which he developed an inferiority complex and began to demonstrate signs of sexual deviations. In 1966, he became a voyeur and indulged in transvestic fetishism, using his sister's underwear to satisfy his sexual needs. In 1968, shortly before graduating high school, Pizzo was arrested on charges of indecent behavior after exposing his genitalia to girls in public, but was only let off with a fine. After graduation, he was drafted into the Army, ostensibly to fight in the Vietnam War. Thanks to his father's financial support, he dodged the draft and was instead enlisted in the National Guard. After serving his time, he enrolled into the Northeastern University, graduating in the mid-1970s with a bachelor's degree in Public Administration and Economics. In 1976, he moved to Westford and married a woman who, after six years, left him due to personal dissatisfaction with their relationship. Due to the strong emotional attachment he felt towards his partner, the divorce took a heavy toll on Phillip, who, in order to improve his mental health and motivate himself, began to frequent nightclubs and adult movie theatres. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to find a new girlfriend, Pizzo began to exhibit misogynistic behavior and developed anger issues, resulting in outbursts against other people. Crimes Between August 13, 1983, and January 19, 1984, Phillip Pizzo committed a series of kidnappings and rapes against girls: most of his crimes took place in the Meadow Glen Mall, South Shore Shopping Plaza, Woburn Mall and Clover Leaf Marketplace, located in Natick, as well as the North Shore Shopping Center in Peabody. As victims, he chose random girls aged 19–28, whom he abducted from the parking lots of shopping centers in the evenings, threatening them with a knife. After successfully abducting the victims, Pizzo would blindfold, gag and then bring them to his home in Westford, where he sexually abused and sodomized for hours. After committing the heinous deeds, he plied them with alcohol and made them take showers to eradicate any biological traces, before returning the girls to the parking lots and dropping them off. On a singular occasion, he dropped his victim off in a wooded area, throwing out her clothes from the car later on. In January 1984, while attempting to kidnap another victim, the girl managed to free herself from her bonds and began to fight back, as a result of which she was stabbed in the mouth, damaging her lips and tongue. She managed to get out of the car and flee, reporting the incident to the authorities, providing them with a detailed description of her assailant's car and his appearance. In the following months, Pizzo's car was spotted several times cruising the parking lots of various shopping centers, with him displaying inappropriate behavior as well. After being positively identified by the girl he had injured, Pizzo was arrested at his parents' home on March 8, 1984. After the arrest, a number of victims also came forward, positively identifying him as their rapist, as well as the house as the place where they had been detained in. Trial Despite Pizzo's claims of having raped 20 women, he was charged with assault, attempted rape, kidnapping and raping six women, as most of the other victims refused to out themselves out of fear. On November 6, 1984, Phillip Pizzo plead guilty to all charges, and was sentenced to 11 life imprisonment terms, with a possibility of parole. Aftermath In 1985, Phillip Pizzo was transferred to the Massachusetts Treatment Center, where over the next 24 years he participated in many sex offender rehabilitation programs. After 25 years in prison, he applied for parole in 2010, but his request was rejected. In 2015, he filed a petition for parole a second time, but the parole board found him unable to comprehend the gravity of his actions and accept the moral values of society, which is why they concluded that he would probably reoffend. In the end, his application was rejected again. His next possible parole bid is in 2020. See also List of serial rapists References External links Commonwealth v.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse%20of%20the%20Canadian%20Women%27s%20Hockey%20League

Collapse of the Canadian Women's Hockey League

The collapse of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL; ) occurred in Spring 2019. Previously one of the top professional women's ice hockey leagues in the world, the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) announced on 31 March 2019 that it would be folding on 1 May, a month later. The collapse has been one of the most significant events in 21st century hockey, and continues to have a major ongoing impact on the sport, including fuelling discussions surrounding the growth of women in hockey and the creation of the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA). Background The Canadian Women's Hockey League was established in 2007 as a Canadian women's amateur senior league. It was originally led by a group of players, notably Lisa-Marie Breton, Mandy Cronin, Allyson Fox, Kathleen Kauth, Kim McCullough, Sami Jo Small and Jennifer Botterill, all of whom played in the original National Women's Hockey League before it folded. In 2009, the Clarkson Cup began to be awarded to the CWHL champions as the best women's hockey club in Canada. Throughout the first half of the 2010s, the league continued to grow and underwent a number of structural changes, including the dissolution of several teams, expansion into the United States, and the introduction of affiliations with certain men's National Hockey League (NHL) teams. In 2015, former Northeastern University Huskies player and entrepreneur Dani Rylan led the formation of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL), after having been in talks to bring a New York expansion team to the CWHL. The league would pay all of its players a salary of at least $10,000, the first women's hockey league to do so. Halfway through the NWHL's second season, however, the league announced massive salary cuts, cutting players' salaries by up to 50%, a move that the league cited as necessary for its sustainability. The league would continue to grow through later seasons, welcoming the previously independent Minnesota Whitecaps in 2018, although its relationship with the CWHL was strained, with several players raising concerns about the working conditions players faced. In 2016, Riksserien, the top flight of women's hockey in Sweden underwent a restructuring, becoming the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). In 2018, the league's most successful club, Luleå HF/MSSK announced that it would begin paying all of its players, the first team in the league to do so. In 2017, the Finnish Naisten-SM Sarja was restructured into the Naisten Liiga, with the Finnish Ice Hockey Association re-ranking the league as the second most important league in the country, having previously ranked it behind all of the senior men's leagues. In March 2017, the players of the United States women's national ice hockey team announced their intention to strike ahead of the 2017 IIHF Women's World Championship, after over a year of failed negotiations with USA Hockey concerning wages and playing conditions. The strike was ultimately successful, with the players reaching a four-year deal with USA Hockey, including increased pay and being paid wages outside of the Olympic period. The strike came following similar actions taken by the American national women's soccer team to improve their conditions. Prior to the start of the 2017–18 season, the CWHL expanded into China, welcoming the Vanke Rays and Kunlun Red Star. The expansion was part of a major deal with the Chinese government, who was seeking to develop its national women's hockey talent ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. In September 2017, the league announced that it would start paying all of its players, with a minimum salary of $2000 and a maximum of $10,000, with each team having a $100,000 salary cap. League commissioner Brenda Andress cited the Chinese expansion, as well as increased sponsorships and licensing rights, as making the move possible, adding that "we know this plan is sustainable." #OneLeague As the NWHL continued to grow and the CWHL began paying its players, discussions intensified about potentially merging the two leagues to form a single unified professional North American women's hockey league. In October 2018, NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan stated that "One league is inevitable," while CWHL's interim commissioner Jayna Hefford called a merger "a priority." Despite player support for a merger, and a stated willingness from both leagues' leaderships, negotiations between the leagues failed to consistently produce results. One point of contention was differing visions of the potential role of the men's National Hockey League in a unified league, and the NHL's refusal to get involved in negotiations, stating that it didn't believe in either the NWHL's or the CWHL's models. The different structures between the leagues also proved hard to reconcile, with the CWHL structured as a not-for-profit association and the NWHL structured as a for-profit association. Issues were also raised surrounding which teams would be in a unified league, with uncertainty surrounding geographically close teams (such as the NWHL's Boston Pride and the CWHL's Worcester Blades and the CWHL's Chinese teams, as well as the respective trophies of each league, notably the Clarkson Cup and the Isobel Cup. The situation of two competing leagues was not a unique phenomenon in North American hockey. In the 1970s, the men's National Hockey League and World Hockey Association were fierce rivals, eventually merging in 1979. Other commentators compared the situation to professional men's lacrosse in North America, with the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) becoming the third major significant league in 2019, along with the National Lacrosse League (NLL) and Major League Lacrosse (MLL). In December 2020, the MLL merged into the PLL. Collapse In July 2018, inaugural league commissioner Brenda Andress announced she would be stepping down and Jayna Hefford was named the interim commissioner. That summer, the league's two Chinese teams were merged to form the Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays. The league also underwent a restructuring, eliminating its board of governors and introducing an 11 member board of directors with more clearly-defined legal responsibilities. The restructuring, however, was not unanimously greeted with praise, with some expressing unease about the fact that seven of the eleven members were entirely new to the league's governance. After the restructuring, the league's single largest sponsor, Graeme Roustan of Roustan Capital, announced that he was withdrawing his sponsorship from the league, citing a lack of transparency and a lack of faith in the league's leadership. Despite the initial turmoil, the 2018–19 season appeared to be a success for the league and for women's hockey. Brianna Decker, along with NWHLer Kendall Coyne Schofield, made history as the first women to compete in the National Hockey League All-Star Game. Teams met their league-mandated 65 000 $ fundraising goals with success, including some teams managing to meet the goal through ticket sales alone. The 2019 Clarkson Cup final, won by the Calgary Inferno drew a TV audience of 175,000, as one of three CWHL games aired on Sportsnet that season. The day before the final, the league had held a meeting with all its general manager to debrief on the season and on plans for improving the next season. Chelsea Purcell, the Markham Thunder general manager, was due to leave the team and her full-time job outside of hockey to become the league's full-time head of strategic partnerships. On Friday, 29 March 2019, a week after the final, the CWHL's board of directions met secretly. Of all ten members present, with one absent from the meeting, the board voted unanimously to dissolve the league. Despite having hit record broadcasting and social media metrics during the 2018–19 season, the board felt that private internal documents, including an audit interim commissioner Jayna Hefford had been asked to perform before the season, proved that the league was economically unsustainable. Among the concerns raised were the reluctance of sponsors to renegotiate their sponsorships in line with the growth of the league and ticket sales, the average price of a ticket being around $15 and sales varying dramatically between teams, some regularly selling out and others rarely managing to attract more than a few dozen spectators. At 9:30 in the morning on Sunday 31 March, the league asked the heads of the CWHL Players' Association, as well as the league's general managers and coaches, to join a conference call. Half an hour later, the rest of the league's players and staff were asked to join. Most of those who were invited to the calls were expecting positive news from the league, such as an expansion, the promotion of Hefford from interim commissioner to commissioner, or a merger with the NWHL, but the mood quickly dropped into silence, and then, among some, anger. A few minutes after the end of the second conference call, the league issued a press release to the public: just one week after the successful 2019 Clarkson Cup finals and just five days before the start of the 2019 IIHF Women's World Championship, the CWHL would be folding on 1 May. At the time of the league's collapse, the CWHL had six teams in three countries, around 150 players, and an overall budget of over $3.5 million, with player salaries ranging from $2000 to $10,000. The league did not release attendance figures. The decision appeared to have been made without consulting the league's players or coaching staff, and came as a shock to most of them, especially as many of the league's top players were in the middle of departing to Finland to play in the World Championships. Canadian national team captain Marie-Philip Poulin told La Presse that her plane had just touched down in Europe when she received the email inviting her to the call. Soon after the announcement, the CWHL Players' Association scrambled to try and take action, organising a task force composed of players and coaching staff as well as releasing coordinated social media posts among players voicing their disappointment in the decision, stating that: "This morning we were informed the #CWHL is folding. As players, we will do our best to find a solution so this isn't our last season of hockey but it's hard to remain optimistic. #NoLeague" There were a handful of attempts from various parties to try and save the league. Talks occurred between the heads of the CWHL Players' Association and those of the NWHL Players' Association. Former governor general Adrienne Clarkson held discussions with the league to try and resurrect it. Vancouver-based film and music produced Mark Bishop made a bid for the league, but was rejected as the league had no previous experience with him and as he did not present a business plan to the league. Former CWHL governor and investor W. Graeme Roustan made a bid to assume control of the league after the announcement, offering to replace the entire CWHL board with people of his choosing and to continue league operations into future seasons on his terms. His bid were also rejected. Following news that the league was folding, multiple CWHL teams stated that they intend to try and continue to operate, and there were reports of an anonymous, Toronto-based group drawing up legal paperwork to launch a new league. Those plans, however, did not materialise. After the Canadian Football League asked the Canadian federal government for a $150 million bailout during the COVID–19 pandemic in 2020, several PWHPA leaders revealed that talks had taken place between the CWHL and the government for financial help to save the league. Despite only asking for financial assistance on the scale of a few hundred thousand dollars and the government having previously identified insufficient funding as the main barrier to female sport participation in Canada, the talks were ultimately unsuccessful. On 2 July 2019, the league shut down its website and released its final public communication in the form of an open letter written by CWHL chair Laurel Walzak on behalf of the CWHL board and addressed to fans, sponsors, donors, and the Canadian government. In the letter, the board detailed their reasons for folding the league, their belief that it would take a budget at least $5 million per year to run the league adequately and at least $10 million to run it professionally, and the board's support for the emerging #ForTheGame players' movement. The letter also pointed towards the creation of the NWHL in 2015, believing that it fragmented the women's hockey market in North America and that sponsors delayed necessary investments due to unrealistic expectations of a merger between the two leagues. Liquidation process According to the laws on non-profit organisations in the jurisdiction the CWHL was based in, the league was required to liquidate all its remaining assets to cover costs and pay off its debts. At the end of April 2019, the league began auctioning off its assets, including all the league trophies. Despite the auction being legally necessary, it provoked deep unease among women's hockey fans, as the artifacts were valuable pieces of hockey history and that there was no way to ensure the proper preservation of the artifacts if they were purchased by private bidders. Queen's University professor Courtney Szto stated that "the gut wrenching part about seeing these trophies go up for sale as if they are regular commodities and not historical and cultural artifacts is because it's possible that a big part of women's hockey history could be erased." After facing criticism for a lack of involvement in trying to preserve CWHL artifacts, the Hockey Hall of Fame stated that their status as a charity prevented them from directly purchasing any artifacts and that their curation criteria were restricted to trophies and artifacts used in games. The Hall did, however, state that they would be able to provide tax receipts for any items donated to the Hall and that they had held a conference call with the CWHL. A few days after the start of the auction, the league removed a few trophies from the listing, stating that they were in talks with bidders who would donate the trophies to the Hall. Seven out of the ten trophies would end up being donated. Two women's hockey journalists, Kirsten Whelan and Jared Book, launched a GoFundMe campaign to try and preserve as many artifacts as possible from the auction. They eventually raised around $6700 before the auction, using it to save Caroline Ouellette's jersey from her rookie season, to help other parties who would donate trophies to the Hockey Hall of Fame, as well as inscribing the names of the 2018–19 award winners on the trophies and providing some funds directly to players. Soon after the announcement of the collapse, the Markham Thunder announced that they would be auctioning off team assets to help provide funds for their players. They were forced to reboot the auction, however, after the league stepped in to clarify that all teams would have to sell their assets as part of the league's liquidation process, and that since teams were owned by the league, team assets were hence property of the league. The money raised from the auctions would therefore go to the league instead of to players directly. A number of investors, including the NHL, also contributed some money towards helping the CWHL pay off its remaining debts and finish paying players their season salaries. Reactions The news of the collapse sparked widespread shock among players and the hockey community. Sami Jo Small, one the league's original co-founders, stated that the news came out of nowhere to her and that, as a general manager, "during this entire season I was never asked once to bring in more money or spend less money. That's why the confusion — it was just such a blow and a shock when we could have been doing a lot of different things along the way." Canadian senator and Olympic committee director Marty Deacon called the collapse of the league "a tremendous loss." Multiple players expressed feelings that the collapse proved that it was time for players to be more outspoken and proactive in demanding support for women's hockey. CWHL Players' Association chair Liz Knox stated that "I think it's kind of opened our eyes to something that we always knew was there, and to seize the opportunity to really ask for more for our sport. I see more often, women, especially female athletes, being told to be grateful for opportunity. And certainly we are, but at some point that line of being grateful has to be broken to ask for more or to demand for more... There's got to be better out there for us." Fran Rider, president of the Ontario Women's Hockey Association (OWHA) stated that the collapse "demonstrates the challenges female sports continue to face in attracting much needed and much deserved financial support." Former Canadian Olympian Caroline Ouellette stated that "I think one hundred per cent the players know they are the ones holding the power. They know the game is going to take the direction that they want it to take." Some players expressed cautious optimism about new opportunities that could be launched in the wake of the league's collapse, with retired Canadian Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser tweeting "One step back, two steps forward perhaps?" Inferno forward Dakota Woodworth stated that she was "fully confident and fully hopeful that something better is definitely coming just because it has to." Others in the hockey community also expressed cautious optimism, with former governor general and namesake of the Clarkson Cup, Adrienne Clarkson, stating that "I think something will arise out of this, and maybe it just had to collapse like this for something to come out of it which will work." Brock University professor Julie Stevens compared the situation to the early days of men's professional leagues and the rivalry between the NHL and the World Hockey Association (WHA) in the 1970s, noting that similar events have often been catalysts for significant new developments in the sport. The NWHL released a statement responding to the collapse of the CWHL, stating that it was saddened by the CWHL's folding, but that the league was confident in its own growth and that it "respects the wishes of all players to consider their options." NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly stated that, while he recognised the importance of professional women's hockey, the NHL would not get significantly involved unless there were no leagues remaining. The news of the CWHL's collapse was met with widespread dismay in the junior hockey community. Rolland Cyr, head of the Kitchener Minor Hockey Association stated that the young girls in his league were hurt by the collapse and that "they would like the league back." Parents of young players also expressed fears over the collapse, with one parent telling the CBC: "What happens to my daughter when she finishes minor bantam? I don't know what that road is." Many graduating collegiate players expressed deep uncertainty over the collapse of the league and the effect it would have on their hockey careers, since around half the potential professional roster spots in North America had disappeared overnight. Some Canadian commentators argued that the collapse of the CWHL proved that Canadian women's hockey was too reliant on the American university system to develop talent and called for the creation of better development circuits in Canada. Causes Insufficient revenue has been cited as the major cause behind the collapse of the CWHL, with the loss of major investors and the retreat of one Chinese team during the 2018 off-season severely hurting the league's capacity to increase its revenue in line with expenses. Despite financial statement obtained by The Hockey News apparently showing a $200,000 surplus in the 2018 fiscal year, the league seemed to have incurred significantly increased expenses, potentially in part due to the introduction of player salaries, which the league stated increased costs by around $600,000 per season. According to newspaper La Presse, the league had failed to increase revenues over the last two years and had finished the 2018–19 season with a $300,000 deficit, its third in the last four seasons, and sixth since the creation of the league. Hefford also stated that she was unwilling to take similar actions to the NWHL to address deficits, notably cutting player salaries, believing that it was better for the league to fold than to move backwards. Calgary Inferno general manager Kristen Hagg said that the lack of media coverage of the league as well as stereotypes about women's hockey contributed to the collapse of the league, stating that: "We live in a society where people do not value women's sport. Most of us have been socialized to accept men's sport as dominant and somehow automatically more interesting. The problem is that once society internalizes falsehood, it's not easy to correct it. I've been to NHL games that are boring. Someone is playing the trap or maybe they just don't have it that day. They do play 82 games in a season after all. People watch women's hockey and if it isn't on-the-edge-of-your-seat-exciting for 60 minutes, it's not just worth their while." The league's broadcast deal with Sportsnet also potentially contributed to the league's issues as, despite good ratings, the network only broadcast three games per season and did not have to pay the league any licensing fees. Women's sport historian M. Ann Hall argued that the lack of coverage hampered the league's chances to capitalise on its successes, and that the league had failed to find its niche in the sports marketplace. Several commentators pointed to the split between the two North American leagues as a cause of the CWHL's collapse. Ken Wong, marketing professor at Queen's University, stated that "this is a very limited, not just pool of talent but pool of fans. So to split them up two ways like that made no sense at all." Other commentators pointed towards the CWHL's lack of marketing and the unavailability of easily accessible viewing options. Others mentioned the Chinese expansion as a potential cause, with rumours that the partnership was heavily disorganized, or that the Chinese government's large financial contributions to the CWHL budget inspired a sense of overconfidence among league leadership. Other commentators have pointed towards a lack of vision in the league and a failure to consistently establish professional working conditions and structures, for players, staff, and members of the media alike. In a PWHPA event in January 2020, former Toronto Furies defender Renata Fast stated that: "I think we all wanted in the past our professional leagues to look professional to outsiders. But the truth is, it wasn't really behind the surface. We dealt with a lot of things that we were just like ‘OK, this is just normal. We have to make it look like this is OK.’ You couldn't have any structure when you played or any type of routine heading into a game because you never knew what was going to happen." The National Hockey League received criticism for failing to do enough to support women's hockey, having only investing $50,000 in total per year to the CWHL and another $50,000 to the NWHL, despite annual NHL revenues of several billion dollars, the NHL's stated goal of growing the game, and girls hockey being the fastest growing part of minor hockey in North America. A 2020 study from Saint Mary's University reported "little tangible benefit" from the NHL's minimal support of women's hockey and that "it is difficult to conceptualize the level at which women [in hockey] are viewed as commoditized tradable goods." Former WNBA president Val Ackerman, who had advised the NHL in 2011 not to launch a women's hockey league, stated that she now felt that the game had significantly grown and that "what's good for women's hockey is good for hockey and what's good for hockey would be good for the NHL." The Institute for Research on Public Policy called the collapse of the CWHL part of a wider trend of struggles faced by non-profit organisations in Canada, describing the legal framework for non-profits as not allowing necessary investments which often result in non-profits failing to effectively retain key staff or incorporate new innovations into their practices. #ForTheGame On 2 May 2019, a day after the formal dissolution of the CWHL, over 200 players, including almost all the CWHL players, a large number of NWHL players, as well as some from other leagues such as the SDHL in Sweden, posted a statement on their social media feeds, using the hashtag #ForTheGame. The statement read: We are fortunate to be ambassadors of this game that we revere so deeply and yet, more than ever, we understand the responsibility that comes with that ambassadorship: To leave this game in better shape than when we entered it. That is why we come together, over 200 players strong, to say it is time to create a sustainable professional league for Women's Hockey. While we have all accomplished so much, there is no greater accomplishment than what we have the potential to do right here and right now -- not just for this generation of players, but for generations to come. With that purpose, we are coming together, not as individual players, but as one collective voice to help navigate the future and protect the players needs. We cannot make a sustainable living playing in the current state of the professional game. Having no health insurance and making as low as two thousand dollars a season means that players can't adequately train and prepare to play at the highest level. Because of that, together as players, we will not play in ANY professional leagues in North America this season until we get the resources that professional hockey demands and deserves. We may have represented different teams, leagues, and countries -- but this sport is one family. And the time is now for this family to unite. This is the moment we've been waiting for -- our moment to come together and say we deserve more. It's time for a long-term viable professional league that will showcase the greatest product of women's professional hockey in the world. American law firm Ballard Spahr, who had previously worked with both the American national women's hockey and soccer team strikes, assisted the players. Both the NFL Players Association and the NHL Players Association (NHLPA) released statements expressing solidarity with the strike, although the NHLPA was criticised by some for not taking more concrete measures to support the players. Relations between the NWHL and the movement, however, did not massively improve from the CWHL's relationship with the NWHL. NWHLPA chair Anya Packer expressed some frustrations with the movement, stating that she felt like they were briefing against the NWHL and that she was concerned about a lack of transparency from the organisers. Boston Pride defender Kaleigh Fratkin also expressed doubts about #ForTheGame, stating that she hadn't received any answers to questions she had asked the movement's organisers and that she was concerned about attempts to force the NWHL to fold. On 20 May 2019, the players formed a non-profit called the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) to further push for their stated goals of a league that provides financial and infrastructure resources to players, health insurance, and support to training programs for young female players. Referee Bryan Hicks was originally chosen as the organisation's head of operations, but was replaced by Jayna Hefford after a few months. The nine players chosen to make up the PWHPA's board of directors were: Jocelyne Lamoureux, Hilary Knight, Kendall Coyne Schofield, Noora Räty, Shannon Szabados, Brianne Jenner, Liz Knox, Kimberly Sass, and Alyssa Gagliardi. The PWHPA organised a number of events during the 2019–20 season, including exhibition games and appearances at the NHL and ECHL All-Star Games. The organisation also organised the Dream Gap Tour between different teams of PWHPA players, named after the gap in opportunities to fulfill their hockey dreams that girls faced compared to boys. Despite the interruption of the COVID–19 pandemic, the PWHPA has planned to continue events during the 2020–21 season, including a more formal regional structure for rosters and a $1 million sponsorship deal from deodorant company Secret, the largest corporate commitment in North American women's hockey history to date. A number of players in European leagues such as the SDHL had joined the protest, although they would continue to play in Europe. A handful of players have since left the movement to sign professional contracts, while another handful have since left the NWHL to join the movement. Eight days after the #ForTheGame movement was launched, Kelty Apperson became the first #ForTheGame player to sign an overseas contract when she signed with SDE Hockey in Sweden. Jordan Juron became the first PWHPA player to re-join the NWHL, signing with the Boston Pride in January 2020. Aftermath The 2019 IIHF Women's World Championship began five days after the CWHL announced that it would be folding. Held in Finland and the first top tier Women's World Championship to feature 10 teams instead of 8, the tournament proved a success. The rise of the Finnish national team, in particular, attracted plaudits, as they shocked Canada in the semi-finals and almost won gold for the first time in a championship game that saw half of the entire population of Finland tune in on TV, with even TV coverage of the Finnish parliamentary elections happening that same night being interrupted for updates on the match. The collapse sparked a marked jump in media coverage of North American women's hockey and in discussions about the future of the game. Google Trends analysis showed a more than fivefold increase in Google searches for the league in the period following the announcement that it was folding. The analysis also showed a similar increase in searches for the NWHL. Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi declared 29 April 2019, two days before the formal dissolution of the league, as "Calgary Inferno Day," and invited the Clarkson Cup winners to the Calgary city council chambers. Girls Hockey Calgary, the largest girls hockey association in Alberta, announced that they would be able to continue using their Jr. Inferno branding, despite the dissolution of the affiliated CWHL team, the Calgary Inferno. In August 2019, Hockey Canada announced that they would be increasing the number of senior training camps and exhibition camps during the 2019–20 season, in order to compensate for the loss of ice time ex-CWHL national team players faced. In October 2019, the players of the 2018 Clarkson Cup-winning Markham Thunder reunited one last time after Chelsea Purcell managed to organise a ceremony to award the players championship rings, the first time in the history of the CWHL such rings had been made. Several CWHL players were forced into retirement by the collapse of the league, being unable to fit contracts in other leagues or activities with the PWHPA around their working lives outside of hockey. Former Toronto Furies all-star Carlee Campbell stated in January 2020 that "as each day goes by, I get more and more frustrated at the fact that I had to give up playing." From January to April 2020, the Orillia Museum of Art and History ran an exhibition on the history and issues of women's hockey entitled She Shoots… She Scores!, with curator Heather Price-Jones crediting the CWHL's collapse as an eye-opener that pushed her to take action. Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays At the end of July 2019, the Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays announced that they would continue operations, moving to the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL), becoming the eighth team in the Russian league. As the only completely independently-owned CWHL team and as affiliates of the men's HC Kunlun Red Star, of Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), the move was able to proceed without too much disruption to club affairs. Shenzen goaltender Noora Räty opted to continue playing with the team while also serving on the PWHPA board. Despite facing more overt sexism in Russia, several ex-CWHL players have spoken positively about the increased professionalism in the ZhHL, with Alex Carpenter stating that "When I think of this league, I think of little things that are normal for a professional athlete. But nobody had done them for us in the past, so it doesn't seem normal." #FörFramtiden In August 2019, all 43 players selected to the Swedish national team camp ahead of the Five Nations announced that they would be striking in protest over a lack of support and financial compensation from the Swedish Ice Hockey Association. The strike adopted the named #FörFramtiden (For the Future), with players releasing coordinated social media posts in a similar fashion to the #ForTheGame movement. After several months on strike, the players reached an agreement with the Association, and a year later, the players' union would negotiate the first-ever collective bargaining agreement between the players of the SDHL and the SDHL. In January 2020, Unionen released their first ever report on the state of working conditions between professional men's and women's players in Sweden. The report found that the average top flight men's player is paid more than the combined salaries of an entire SDHL club, with only 7% of SDHL players feeling like they could earn a living from hockey and only 27% being satisfied with the conditions they faced in the sport. NWHL On 2 April 2019, the National Women's Hockey League announced that they would be adding two expansion teams ahead of the 2019–20 season, in Toronto and Montréal, citing an increased commitment from the NHL for sponsorship revenue. NHWL Commissioner Dani Rylan stated in a press conference that the league had not been planning to expand, but that they had immediately changed plans after hearing about the CWHL's collapse. But after the launch of the #ForTheGame movement, which including a large number of NWHL players, Kim Pegula announced that she was abandoning her ownership of the Buffalo Beauts and the New Jersey Devils severed their affiliation with the Metropolitan Riveters. It was also reported that the increased commitment from the NHL only amounted to an extra $50,000, doubling the amount the NWHL received but keeping the total amount the NHL spent on professional women's hockey sponsorships unchanged. By the end of May, less than two months after announcing the plans, the NWHL cancelled its expansion into Canada, but did not rule out the possibility of a future expansion. In September 2019, the NWHL announced its first ever broadcast deal to include a rights fee, a three-year partnership with Twitch, and in April 2020, the NWHL announced the arrival of the Toronto Six as its first ever Canadian expansion team. Six owner Johanna Boynton stated that:"I was influenced a lot by the CWHL folding... I just realized this is a big-picture type of passion of like, how do we do this and get this on a foundation that really can be something of growth and take it to a new level? During the 2019 off-season, the NWHL Players' Association negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement with the NWHL, securing increased benefits for players and a landmark 50/50 split in sponsor revenues between the league and players. When the NWHL announced its plans for a shortened 2020–21 season, held in a bubble during the COVID–19 pandemic, the NWHLPA secured a guarantee that players would receive their full salary, even if they opted-out of playing. In October 2020, the NWHL reorganized its governance structure in the aim of prioritizing independent ownership of teams, creating a Board of Governors along the NHL model with representatives from each team taking a seat. As part of the reorganization, Dani Rylan stepped down as league commissioner to lead the search for independent ownership of the four league-owned teams. Tyler Tumminia, previously named as chair of the Toronto Six, was named interim commissioner. COVID–19 pandemic The COVID–19 pandemic hit North America and Europe in early 2020, less than a year after the collapse of the CWHL, and has had a significant impact on women's hockey, forcing the cancellation of 2019–20 seasons and disrupting planning for 2020–21 seasons. The impacts of the pandemic, in combination with the continuing fallout from the CWHL's collapse, have further multiplied discussions about the future of professional women's hockey. With even major men's leagues struggling to set plans for play during the pandemic and to balance expected losses of revenue, questions of low investments and low media coverage have become even more important for the women's game. The pandemic has also impacted the ability of players to train, as many already had less access to ice time and training facilities, even when they were still part of a formal league. Player salaries have also been cited as an issue, with players facing potential loss of both their salary from hockey and their salaries from their full-time jobs outside of hockey. Hefford has stated that:"Women's sport is certainly going to suffer because of this, and simply because I think there was so much momentum in our sport and in others as well. We're still in a place where the investment needs to be made. It's going to be harder and harder to get that investment in the current situation."

List of college rivalries in the United States

Some rivalries, such as the Indiana–Kentucky rivalry, take place between two schools from different conferences.

The most notable rivalries include: University at Albany and Binghamton University, also known as the I-88 Rivalry because of their geographic proximity. University at Albany and University of Vermont mostly in men's basketball, due to the successes these two teams have had in the 2000s. University at Albany and University of Maryland, Baltimore County mostly in women's volleyball and men's lacrosse due to their intense, post-season matches. University at Albany and Stony Brook University – Although the America East does not sponsor football, these schools have a long-standing rivalry in that sport, currently known as the Empire Clash. Since 2013, both have been football-only members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). University of Hartford and University of Maryland, Baltimore County both men's and women's basketball. University of New Hampshire and University of Maine, more notorious for its hockey rivalry, the Maine-New Hampshire rivalry bleeds into other sports as well.

Central Connecticut–Hartford rivalry, a rivalry started in basketball is now starting to gain popularity in baseball. Big East rivalries The Big East Conference, founded as a basketball conference, is a league of 11 Division I schools, with only UConn playing FBS–level football. The conference, while centered in the northeast, is also geographically diverse, stretching from Nebraska to New England. Current rivalries include: Butler Bulldogs and Xavier Musketeers – among the most successful Division I men's basketball programs in the 21st century, the two schools were founding members of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, and were also two of the three Midwestern schools invited to join the Big East at its relaunch in 2013. DePaul Blue Demons and Marquette Golden Eagles – originally Division I independents, both joined Conference USA and the original Big East at the same time, and are among the "Catholic 7" that formed the current Big East after breaking away from the former members of the conference who all sponsored Division I Football Bowl Subdivision-level football. One of several sports rivalries involving teams from Chicago and Milwaukee, alongside the Brewers–Cubs rivalry and (by proxy) the Bears–Packers rivalry. The rivalry reached its zenith in the late 1970s, when both DePaul and Marquette were national powers. However, the rivalry has, as of late, heavily favored Marquette, with the Milwaukee school winning approximately four out of every five meetings since the early 1990s. Georgetown Hoyas and St. John's Red Storm' — these two "Catholic 7" schools, neither of which plays Division I FBS football (Georgetown plays in Division I FCS, and St. John's has no football program), had their basketball teams rise to prominence in the 1980s, having numerous meetings that impacted the NCAA Championship as well as the Big East title. Both teams were known for their charismatic coaches, John Thompson at Georgetown and Lou Carnesecca at St. John's. Rivalry has declined in recent years. This rivalry has also influenced other sports, as the two schools' baseball teams opened Citi Field on March 29, 2009 with the third game of a three-game series that started at Georgetown. The Hoyas won the game, and the series. Georgetown–UConn men's basketball rivalry — first game played between the two schools took place on December 22, 1958.

Stanford–UConn women's basketball rivalry – another nationally significant rivalry, with five of their 18 total meetings coming in the Final Four. Tennessee–UConn women's basketball rivalry – the women's basketball rivalry between the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers and the University of Connecticut Huskies is one of the fiercest rivalries in college basketball, and perhaps the only one to reach national consciousness out of the women's game.

Brigham Young University and University of Utah – (all sports: see BYU–Utah rivalry). The football version is known as the "Holy War", with the teams competing for the Beehive Boot. Cal Poly Pomona and UC San Diego – The two most successful programs in the California Collegiate Athletic Association from 2000 to 2020, the period in which UCSD (now in the Division I Big West Conference) was a CCAA member. They were fierce rivals in all sports before UCSD's Division I move. California State University, Fullerton and California State University, Long Beach (Long Beach State); a baseball rivalry stemming from both programs' continual success. The College of Idaho and Northwest Nazarene University – a long-standing basketball rivalry, as well as an extensive history of student pranks. University of Colorado and Colorado State University – College football's Rocky Mountain Showdown Colorado State University and United States Air Force Academy for the Ram–Falcon Trophy University of Denver and Colorado College – (ice hockey) Battle for the Gold Pan Played between the superpowers of college hockey in the State of Colorado. Played since 1949. Widely considered to be the most heated and longstanding rivalry in college hockey, it is one of the sport's most played rivalries in the United States with over 300 games between the two school (of which nearly 30 games were in the playoffs, and 40 games required overtime). Both schools were charter members of the WCHA in 1951, and became charter members of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference in 2011, which started play in 2013. Dixie State University, to be renamed Utah Tech University in July 2022, and Utah Valley University – The "Old Hammer Rivalry" involves two schools with roots as junior colleges, which were rivals at that level from the early 1970s before separately becoming four-year institutions in the early 21st century, and also joining separate NCAA divisions (Dixie in D-II and UVU in D-I). With Dixie joining UVU in D-I and the Western Athletic Conference in 2020, the schools renewed their rivalry. Gonzaga University and Eastern Washington University – a longtime men's basketball rivalry, but much less competitive since the rise of Gonzaga's program to national prominence in the 21st century. Gonzaga is in the city of Spokane, and EWU is in nearby Cheney. Gonzaga University and University of Washington – an emerging, though intermittent, men's basketball rivalry. The winning school could claim bragging rights as best in the state. Has been on hold as neither program is willing to agree to restart the rivalry after Gonzaga's rise to prominence. Gonzaga University and Washington State University – also an emerging men's basketball rivalry. The two schools are about an hour apart by car. University of Hawaiʻi and California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) – All sports. Both were members of the WAC from 1992 to 2012, but have now separated, with Hawaiʻi leaving for the Big West and Fresno State to the MW. In football, however, it is still a conference rivalry, as Hawaiʻi football joined the MW alongside Fresno State. When MW football split into divisions in 2013, Fresno State and Hawaiʻi were placed in the same division, ensuring annual matchups for the foreseeable future. University of Hawaii and Brigham Young University – Football and volleyball. BYU has a significant following in Hawaii—the school has a branch campus in Hawaii, and the LDS Church also operates a temple near the Hawaii campus. The football version has been off-and-on since the MW broke away from the WAC in 1999, separating the two schools. In men's volleyball, it was long a conference rivalry in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation before Hawaii's primary home of the Big West Conference launched a men's volleyball league in the 2018 season (2017–18 school year); the two teams squared off for the national title in 2021. University of Idaho and The University of Montana, with the football teams playing for the Little Brown Stein. The rivalry between border-state schools, both current members of the Big Sky Conference, has its roots in football. The schools first played in football in 1903, and regularly played until Idaho moved to what is now Division I FBS in 1996. The all-sports rivalry lost some of its edge at that time, as Idaho also left the Big Sky, not returning until 2014. With Idaho reverting to FCS football and rejoining Big Sky football in 2018, the football rivalry has once again become an annual affair. University of Idaho and Washington State University – Known as the Battle of the Palouse. The two schools are located just 7 miles apart. University of Montana and Eastern Washington University – (all sports) University of Montana and Montana State University – Brawl of the Wild University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University – The Rio Grande Rivalry, involving all sports. Notably, the men's and women's basketball teams play home-and-away each season despite being in different conferences. Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags and Athenas – The two joint athletics teams of the Claremont Colleges consortium, involving all sports. Known as the Sixth Street Rivalry, referring to the street that separates the teams' athletics facilities. University of San Diego and San Diego State University – (basketball, baseball, and soccer) Cross-city rivals with an added public–private angle. University of San Francisco and Santa Clara University – San Francisco Bay Area Jesuit universities and also members of the West Coast Conference (WCC); primarily a basketball rivalry San Jose State University and California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) – very even rivalry in both football and basketball for over 70 years. For most of the rivalry's history, it has been a conference matchup, with the two schools playing in five different leagues – the CCAA, WCC (briefly), PCAA/Big West, WAC, and since 2013 the MW. San Jose State University and Stanford University – close proximity in the Silicon Valley leads to a natural rivalry. Santa Clara University and Saint Mary's College of California – formerly a football rivalry, now a basketball rivalry. Both schools are charter members of what is now the WCC, share a Catholic affiliation, and are in different portions of the Bay Area (Santa Clara in Silicon Valley, and Saint Mary's in the East Bay). Saint Mary's College of California and Gonzaga University – Men's basketball rivalry that has become quite heated as Saint Mary's became the only consistent challenger to Gonzaga's WCC conference title streak in the late 2000s. Santa Clara University and San Jose State University – working man's university versus the local rich school; primarily a basketball rivalry. UC Davis and Cal Poly SLO – in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe (football) for the Golden Horseshoe Trophy UC Davis and Sacramento State – the two programs compete in all sports for the annual Causeway Cup, and specifically in the Causeway Classic (football) for the Causeway Carriage and Causeway Trophy. In most sports, it is a non-conference rivalry, with UC Davis in the non-football Big West and Sacramento State in the football-sponsoring Big Sky. In two sports, football and men's soccer, it is a conference matchup—UC Davis is a football member of the Big Sky and Sacramento State is a men's soccer member of the Big West (the Big Sky sponsors women's soccer but not men's). UC Irvine and California State University, Long Beach (Long Beach State) – Black and Blue Rivalry Series: The two Southern California schools compete in various sports such as baseball, basketball and volleyball to accumulate points for every victory. The school with the most points at the end of the year wins a surfboard. UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly SLO – Blue–Green Rivalry: Battle for the Central Coast with an emphasis on sustainability. The most intense has become the competition in men's soccer, where the matchup has featured 5 of the top 15 attended regular season soccer matches in NCAA history, all of which have happened since 2007. Women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, and baseball also are heated matchups. University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and University of Nevada – in the Battle for Nevada (football) for the Fremont Cannon. This became a conference rivalry in 2012 when Nevada joined UNLV in the MW. Both schools were also placed in the same division when the MW expanded to 12 football members. University of Utah and Utah State University – (basketball and football, the Battle of the Brothers) University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and New Mexico State University – The Battle of I-10 University of Wyoming and Colorado State University – (football) the Border War for the Bronze Boot Western Washington University and Central Washington University – (football) Known as the Battle in Seattle – played at Lumen Field in Seattle for the Cascade Cup. Other Rivalries Between Historically Black Colleges and Universities Coppin State University and Morgan State University − separated by 5 miles, this traditional East vs. West Baltimore basketball is a traditional powerhouse HBCU and MEAC Rivalry Tabbed the "Battle of Baltimore". Cheyney University and Lincoln University – the two oldest black colleges, or HBCUs, in America, both located in Pennsylvania and also two of the few such schools outside the South. The schools compete in everything athletic or academic. Men's and women's teams compete annually in the heated thanksgiving weekend basketball games. The reinstatement of Lincoln's football program will add more fire to the rivalry. Central State University and Wilberforce University – Like Cheyney and Lincoln, these are also rare examples of HBCUs outside the South. This is also a crosstown rivalry, with both schools located in the small community of Wilberforce, Ohio. In addition, Central State began as a department within Wilberforce University before becoming a separate institution and a public school. North Carolina A&T State University and North Carolina Central University – the "Aggie-Eagle Classic" was an annual, interdivisional HBCU football until 2005. North Carolina A&T State University and Winston-Salem State University – the rivalry between the two Piedmont Triad HBCUs briefly escalated with WSSU's transition to Division I athletics and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference of which NC A&T is a member, but faded when WSSU backed out of its D-I transition and decided to stay in Division II. Grambling State University and Southern University – the Bayou Classic in football is the most famous HBCU rivalry, and for decades had been the only such matchup televised annually by one of the country's four major over-the-air television networks (NBC has since moved the game from its main network to its cable/satellite NBCSN network). Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University – the two schools, which moved together from their longtime home of the MEAC to the SWAC in 2021, compete annually in football in the Florida Classic. Norfolk State University and Hampton University – a now-dormant effective crosstown rivalry; both schools are located in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area on opposite sides of the eponymous harbor. The football version is called the Battle of the Bay. The rivalry was interrupted when Hampton left the MEAC for the Big South Conference in 2018, but resumed a year later. Virginia Union University and Virginia State University – another virtual crosstown rivalry, this one involving Division II schools in the CIAA. Virginia Union is a private university in the state capital of Richmond, while Virginia State is a public school in nearby Ettrick. Saint Augustine's College and Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina are HBCU rivalries in all sports. Florida A&M University and Southern University – Before FAMU joined Southern in the SWAC in 2021, their rivalry had been the oldest interconference rivalry in HBCU history, and still has a disputed claim as the oldest in HBCU history. Dates back to 1941 and was played consecutively for 55 yrs, which ended in 2001 because of a heated confrontation between Pete Richardson of Southern and Billy "Joe" Taylor of Florida A&M. Xavier University of Louisiana and Dillard University – crosstown rivalry between two NAIA schools, both members of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, located in New Orleans. Since the two schools have been members of the GCAC since its formation in 1981, the men's and women's basketball teams play this Crosstown Classic game at least twice a year. Religious schools rivalries Texas Christian University and Baylor University have one of the oldest rivalries between any two institutions, religious or otherwise. The two schools compete across the entire span of competitions that the Big 12 Conference sponsors. For instance, in FBS football TCU currently leads Baylor 56–53–7 across 112 games played since 1899. Messiah College and Wheaton College (Illinois) – these Christian Schools compete frequently for the top Christian as well as Division 3 Soccer Team. Indiana Wesleyan University and Taylor University – the schools are separated by less than 15 minutes in rural NE Indiana, and have an intense rivalry in NAIA athletic events. Tabor College (Kansas) and Bethel College (Kansas) – These two Mennonite Schools which are only a few miles apart find a friendly rivalry that stems from a denominational split in the 1860s. Their soccer teams compete in the Menno-Cup and Football teams compete in the Menno-Bowl every year. Houghton College and Roberts Wesleyan College – these two former conference rivals, located within Western New York in the Genesee River Valley have a heated rivalry with the Men's soccer game being the biggest draw for each school. Central Baptist College and Williams Baptist College – these two conference rivals are within the American Midwest Conference.

Fei Xu

Fei Xu (; born 1969) is an American developmental psychologist and cognitive scientist who is currently a professor of psychology and the director of the Berkeley Early Learning Lab at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses on cognitive and language development, from infancy to middle childhood. Early life Xu was born and raised in Beijing, China, where she graduated from the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. She moved to the U.S. and attended Smith College, graduating in 1991 with a B.A. in Cognitive Science. She earned her Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from M.I.T. in 1995. Career Xu began her career as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers University, and M.I.T. under Alan M. Leslie. She joined Northeastern University as an assistant professor in 1997. In 2003, she moved to Vancouver to be an associate professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and was awarded the Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Science. She was a visiting professor at UC Berkeley in 2007–2008, then returned to UBC. In 2009, she joined the UC Berkeley Department of Psychology as a Professor, where she is also the director of the school's Early Learning Lab. Research Xu worked with several prominent developmental and cognitive psychologists early in her career. She worked with Susan Carey for her Ph.D. research on object individuation, sortal concepts, and early word learning. She worked with Elizabeth Spelke as a postdoctoral fellow, focusing on prelinguistic infants’ representation of numbers. She also worked with Alan Leslie at Rutgers University on infants’ object concept. Beginning in the 2010s, Xu advocated for a new approach to the study of cognitive development, namely rational constructivism. She argued that human infants begin life with a set of proto-conceptual primitives such as object, number, and agent, and as young learners acquire language. These initial representations are transformed into a format that is compatible with language and propositional thought. She suggested that three types of learning mechanisms explain both belief revision and genuine conceptual change: (1) Language and symbol learning; (2) Bayesian inductive learning; and (3) Constructive thinking. She also suggests that infants and young children are active learners, and cognitive agency is part and parcel of development. In addition, she has explored the implications of rational constructivism for philosophy of mind and epistemology.

2020–21 Northeastern Huskies men's ice hockey season

The 2020–21 Northeastern Huskies Men's ice hockey season was the 89th season of play for the program and the 37th season in the Hockey East conference. The Huskies represented Northeastern University and were coached by Jim Madigan, in his 10th season. Season As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the entire college ice hockey season was delayed. Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Northeastern's players would lose a season of play. However, the NCAA also approved a change in its transfer regulations that would allow players to transfer and play immediately rather than having to sit out a season, as the rules previously required. The Huskies' season began even later than most of their contemporaries, with the first game coming in mid-December. Northeastern was unable to establish any kind of consistency all season with one exception; when NEU played a ranked team, they wouldn't win. The Huskies went 0–7–2 against top-20 opponents during the season and 9–2–1 versus all others. The team's lack of success in such games would lead them to be dropped from the rankings for the first time all season after their early exit from the Hockey East Tournament. With no ranking, a .500 record and a low PairWise score, Northeastern had no real chance to be selected for the NCAA Tournament. Billy Carrabino, Devon Levi and Nick Scarpa sat out the season.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfinished%3A%20Deep%20South

Unfinished: Deep South

Unfinished: Deep South is a podcast that investigates the unsolved murder of Isadore Banks, one of the wealthiest African-Americans on the Arkansas Delta. The 10-episode podcast was released in June 2020 by Market Road Films and Stitcher Radio. In 2021 it was nominated for a Peabody Award. Banks was murdered in 1954, just three weeks after the Supreme Court ruling that overturned segregation. Creators of the podcast, journalist Neil Shea and documentary filmmaker Taylor Hom normally cover international stories but decided to focus on the U.S. for their next project. Hom became aware of Isadore Banks after reading about the U.S. Justice Department’s Cold Case Initiative of 2006. This was a joint effort between The Civil Rights Division, United States Attorneys’ Offices and the FBI to focus their resources on the investigations of more than 100 pending pre-1979 murders. After some initial interviews with members of the Banks family, Shea and Hom decided the story of Isadore Banks was more than just an unsolved murder. Season 1 (2020) People involved Isadore Banks Grandparents: Elias Banks, a white land-owner living in Rome Georgia, and an African American woman named Nancy Banks, who was formerly enslaved. They had a son, named John who was Isadore’s father. Elias Banks died in 1878. Parents: John Banks and Annie Butler. Annie was African American and believed to be part Native American (Cherokee). Isadore was born to John and Annie in Georgia in 1895, he was the third of seven children. Isadore’s mother died at a young age. Banks Family Around 1917 Isadore married Alice Biggs. He is 23 and a self-employed farmer. After serving in WWI, he returned home in 1919. Muriel Banks: oldest daughter of Isadore and his wife Alice Banks. Dorothy Williams: daughter of Isadore Banks. Her mother was a sharecropper and one of Isadore’s mistresses. She and her mother lived on land Isadore rented from the Italian widow. Marcelina “Lina” Williams: daughter of Dorothy, granddaughter of Isadore. Jim Banks: son of Isadore and Willie Lee Banks. It is unclear if Isadore was married legally to Willie. Norman Banks: Isadore’s brother and business partner. Anderson Family Andrew Lee Anderson: The oldest of 12 children whose family lived outside of Marion. Andrew made money by mowing lawns and doing odd jobs in Marion. While in Marion on a job, Andrew was believed to have attacked a young girl. He was hunted down by a posse, shot multiple times and died. He was 16 at the time. No investigation was pursued. Roy Anderson: Andrew’s father Geraldine and Earline: Andrew’s sisters Townspeople Willie and Ida Gammon: Cousins and locals of Marion heard at the beginning of the podcast to take the creators on a tour of Isadore’s, now abandoned, Cotton Gin. Cecil Goodwin: Sheriff of Crittenden County Maggie Sue Goodwin: Wife of Sheriff Goodwin James Wilburn, Sr: Business man and close friend of Isadore’s who lived down the street.

William Atherton (plantation owner)

William Atherton (31 May 1742 – 30 June 1803), was a merchant and wealthy landowner from Lancashire, England, who operated and co-owned sugar plantations in the former Colony of Jamaica. He was a slave owner, as well as an importer of slaves from Africa. Early life Atherton was born in Preston, Lancashire, the fourth son of William and Lucy Atherton. He was the son of a successful and wealthy silk mercer. His father was a Preston Alderman, and was elected Mayor of Preston in 1732 and 1738. Prescot history refers to his father having been born in 1715. His father, according to the Walker Art Gallery, lived between 1703 and 1745. Atherton travelled to Jamaica as a merchant and went on to act as the overseer of a sugar plantation. Members of his family had been involved in the Atlantic slave trade since at least 1737, and were known as Liverpool privateers. His grandfather was John Atherton, a draper. A relative, William Atherton was the rector of St Nicholas Church, Liverpool; known as the Old Church of St Nicks, from 1688 to 1699. Walton Hall was part of this parish and the home of his slave trading guardian-uncle, John Atherton. Another ancestor, Richard Atherton, was the first modern Mayor of Liverpool, who in turn descended from the Athertons of Atherton Hall, Leigh. Career His exact date of departure from Liverpool to Jamaica is unknown. When Atherton arrived on the island, he initially established himself as a merchant in Kingston, also operating in the vicinity of Martha Brae and the town of Falmouth, then a thriving seaport. He also served as attorney for William Gale, who owned the Gale Valley Estate, and Edward Hyde, who owned the Swanswick Estate, as well as several other planter families. At the age of 23, Atherton inherited a share of Green Park Estate from Thomas Southworth in 1765, however the exact relationship between the two has never been established by historians. It is most likely that Thomas Southworth, who was from Preston was either a relative or business associate who employed Atherton, had no immediate family. It is possible that he bequeathed to Atherton, in order to settle upon his gambling debts. Atherton's father and elder brother Richard, a merchant banker had provided mortgages for such enterprises. Southworth may also have been a slowly dying man with long-term injuries following Tacky's War, or had a degree of intimacy with Atherton. One source records a William Atherton being bequeathed the same estate 101 years prior. Most likely a researcher error, however if correct, it could justify why a share was bequeathed to him since his family already had a vested interest in this estate. Hence his decision to relocate to Jamaica, operating under the parameters set by his guardian uncle. By the late 1760s, Atherton was now the co-owner of various sugar plantations in north western Jamaica. He owned the Green Park Estate in Trelawny Parish and Spring Vale Pen in Saint James, his summer residence. Atherton would have had many investors outside his immediate family. It has been established that he partnered with Peter Holme (1730-1779), a merchant from Liverpool, who was responsible for over 50 slave voyages (known as the Middle Passage) from 1750 onwards. They invested heavily in the Triangular trade. Holme was older than Atherton and had been in partnership with William Davenport (1716-1794) and the former owners of Green Park Estate, Thomas Southworth and John Kennion. As a merchant, Atherton would have been an active shareholder in various Liverpool shipping companies and would have been initially guided by his brothers, John and Richard. Since slave trading enterprises were often agreements limited between just a handful of individuals, Atherton may have been one of the many who financed such ventures as a sleeping partner, whilst based in Jamaica, with his uncle John Atherton, a slave trader with at least 18 voyages, or his subsequent partner, Peter Holme acting as signatories. It would have been in Atherton's interest to partake, since the profitability of his plantation depended on the profits from Jamaican sugar and the supply of able slaves from the African Company of Merchants, and indentured servitude. Atherton built a fortress plantation house, as his primary residence on the grounds of the Green Park Estate. Suitable defenses were a requirement mandated by the British colonial authorities, in event of a Spanish attack, or a slave revolt. Within a short period, Atherton had established himself as one of the wealthiest sugar planters. In order to do this he imported hundreds of slaves from Africa to work in the cane fields and sugar factories of what had become the third largest estate in Trelawny Parish, out of a total of 88 estates. He would move between his estates and properties on the island during the seasons and high humidity. He also owned the Spring Vale Pen Plantation in Saint James parish. He expanded Green Park, by purchasing the adjoining plantations, such as the Bradshaw Estate in 1771. Green Park increased to over 1,315 acres. He constructed a second sugar mill in 1773, complete with a stone windmill, which was supplemented by the power of oxen. It is estimated that his operations in Jamaica continuously had close to 800 people enslaved. The Green Park Estate expanded, and had a large slave population, operating four field gangs and the slave village numbered over 30 buildings. Atherton spent a great deal of time in England as an absentee landlord, but would visit his plantations frequently. Since the roads to the plantations were often bad, Atherton, like other local planters kept a home on Queen Street in Martha Brae, to be closer to the port and to be able to host shipmaster's and discuss incoming and outgoing cargo. Sugar from his plantations were packed into large barrels called hogsheads and transported to the port of Falmouth for loading onto a vessel bound for England or North America. It is known that Rum had been distilled at his Spring Vale Pen plantation since at least the 1780s. The West Indian planter class of which Atherton was part of, was entering a period of economic decline. Atherton left Jamaica for the newly independent United States in 1783, shortly after the Treaty of Paris. It is beyond a doubt that a man of his social status on the island would have departed with his own hand picked slaves for this long voyage. A man of his standing would have owned the ship, which would have been fully laden with goods and merchandise to trade, as well as a great deal of his personal wealth, in preparation for what he hoped this new country would bring even greater fortune. It is also likely that this sea voyage coincided with the trafficking of human cargo from the Caribbean, which he would have considered as part of his personal property, free to sell and trade along the route up to New England. Atherton would have planned his departure from Falmouth, Jamaica with precision. Prior to becoming an absent landlord, he would have appointed a planting attorney, as well as a hierarchy of estate management to continue to manage his business interests as a planter, sugar merchant and as a slave owner. He retained offices in Kingston, Jamaica to oversee all his enterprises that generated wealth derived from slavery. Such vast fortune allowed him to eventually retire in comfort to his large country estate, Prescot Hall in St Helens in 1787, after residing in the United States for just under a period of 5 years. A particular Bristol Miscellany is insightful, since it mentions Atherton's Trelawny business associate, John Tharp IV (1744-1804), of Good Hope and Chippenham Park, the largest land owner in Trelawny with over 3,000 slaves. Atherton had sold Tharp land in Trelawny a few years prior. When disposing of land, Atherton would have chosen whether to hold a slave auction or have his own attorney draw up contracts to dispose of any unwanted enslaved workers. This typically involved separating children from their mothers and splitting up couples. Compassion of a plantation owner was unlikely, particularly since the article refers to Atherton being childless. Other anecdotes include how Atherton could now afford to live in England comfortably on £1,000 a year. Both Tharp and Atherton eventually purchased large estates in England in their final years, extracting wealth from the island economy, with years of profit from decades of oversight of enslaved people working on his plantations. It also refers to Atherton's exports into Bristol and mention the poor quality of his sugar and the commodities arrival on board the vessel Good Hope. During Atherton's final years, between 1791 and 1800, 35 children were recorded as born into slavery in Spring Vale Pen. 48 slaves died and a further 70 were purchased. Green Park Estate had 4 times more slaves than this smaller estate. This period also coincided with the heaviest forced migrations which occurred between 1790 and 1807. The result of such slaving patterns made Jamaica the second most common destination for Igbo people arriving from the Bight of Biafra. Personal In 1779 he was appointed as a guardian to the sons of Richard Pennant, 1st Baron Penrhyn in the event of their father's death. Atherton remained a bachelor until the age of 42. Not only was he focused on his own prosperity, and that of his shareholders, he was politically motivated, seeking higher office in Kingston, Jamaica. However, he was unsuccessful in the elections of 1782 and soon made plans to leave the island. He settled in Rhode Island in 1783, where he soon married his first known wife, Sarah Brenton Wanton (1751-1787), the widow of Joseph Wanton (1730-1780), a loyalist who served as Deputy Governor of Rhode Island in 1764. Wanton had abandoned his wife and child, after being caught up on the revolutionary war, dying in Manhattan as a loyalist colonel. Sarah had unsuccessfully petitioned the State of Rhode Island to return her former marital home, Hunter House, and other confiscated Wanton properties in Newport, Jamestown, Prudence Island, and Gould Island. Sarah died at the age of 36, in July 1787, and was buried in Clifton Burying Ground, Newport, Rhode Island within three years of their marriage. They had no surviving offspring. Atherton immediately disposed of his household goods and returned to England with his young stepson, Joseph Wanton. To honour his deceased wife, he had a memorial tablet placed inside Trinity Church, Rhode Island in November 1788. In 1789 in Prescot Parish Church, he married Elizabeth Sephton (1755-1831), the daughter of his deceased father-in-law John Sephton, of Ormskirk and a relative of Henry Sephton. They had no children and it is assumed Atherton returned once again to Jamaica. In 1790 and 1796 he is listed in the Jamaica Almanac as a Commissioner for taking affidavits of the Supreme Court in Kingston, Jamaica. His stepson, Joseph Brenton Wanton was enrolled at Manchester Grammar School in 1799. Joseph's son was named Joseph Atherton Wanton, in honour of his stepfather. Atherton's final years were spent at Prescot Hall, where he died on 25 June 1803, at the age of 61. He was buried in Prescot Parish Church. A marble slab by Sir Richard Westmacott is dedicated in his memory, surmounted with a family crest, with the motto clarior e tenebris (brighter after the darkness). Atherton died without any known offspring. His estate was valued at £100,000 and included paintings by Gerard ter Borch and other notable artists. He bequeathed a one-off payment of £5,000, and an annuity of £2,000 per annum to his second wife Elizabeth who died in 1831. His will also mentions a bequest to his stepson, the Revered Joseph Brenton Wanton (c. 1777–1853). Atherton's married sisters, Mary, Catherine and Elizabeth also benefited. An organ was gifted to Prescot Parish Church by his widow in his memory. Mary Southworth of Preston, of mixed black African and white European ancestry, was either a mistress or his offspring and is mentioned in his will. However, it is most likely that she was the daughter of Thomas Southworth, the original owner of the Green Park plantation and an African slave mother, or Atherton's own child, named in the honour of his deceased friend. This was not an unusual situation for slave owners returning to their homeland. A precedent had already been set years prior within the circles of gentry. In 1765, John Lindsay returned to England with Dido Elizabeth Belle, a child he fathered on his plantation. None of Mary Southworth's descendants have been traced. His papers are held in Lancashire Archives. Family His uncle, John Atherton of Hanover Street, Liverpool, purchased Walton Hall, set in 300 acres in 1746, and was built on the remains of a 14th-century moated hall. John was involved in the African slave trade relocating from Preston in 1716. At least 18 slave voyages between 1737 and 1757 are on record. John died in Gloucester in 1786. Walton Hall, was sold by his son and heir, Colonel John Joseph Atherton, in 1802 to Thomas Leyland, who was also highly involved in the African slave trade. His brother, Henry Atherton (1740-1816), a notable barrister, helped further the career of John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon. He married Ann Byrom, the granddaughter of John Byrom. They had 2 daughters, Eleanora and Lucy who inherited and made their economic gain from the proceeds of over one hundred years of slavery. Eleanora Atherton eventually inherited her sister's estate at Halsnead Hall in Whiston, thus increasing her share of the Jamaican estates, and was recorded as being one of the wealthiest women in England when she died in 1870. Green Park Estate Atherton's largest co-owned sugar plantation, one of the oldest plantations in Trelawny parish, dated back to shortly after 1655, with the Invasion of Jamaica by the English, when Oliver Cromwell first granted land to James Bradshaw, the son of John Bradshaw, one of the regicides who signed the death warrant of King Charles I. Adjoining lands were granted to the Barrett family by King Charles II in 1660. Over one hundred years later, Thomas Southworth, a merchant from Kingston in partnership with John Kennion, a kinsman of Edward Kennion, changed the name of the estate from Green Pond to Green Park, and started to transform it from being a cattle farm, into a large sugar plantation. He died shortly after he commenced construction of the main residence in 1764. The estate was bequeathed to Atherton, then a Kingston merchant in 1765. The estate was fully functioning producing sugar, rum and holding livestock. It was Atherton who completed the build of the main residence and subsequently enlarged what is presently known as Green Park Great House. At the front of Green Park Great House are two marble plaques on either side of the front door. One plaque says, “Green Park Plantation Manor” and the other, “Built in 1764 by William Atherton”. All plantations would have had a hierarchy. Robert Grant was already an overseer when Atherton took co-ownership with Peter Holme of Liverpool. Atherton did not change this immediately. He is likely to have been concerned about profits than welfare of the hundreds of slaves he now owned. Francis Falshaw assumed the role in 1768, and was replaced by Atherton's appointment of Christopher Forsyth in 1779. Edmund Eccleston was overseer from 1782 to 1791, followed by William Fairclough from 1792 to 1808. It was not only Atherton and his original partner, Holme and his descendants who extracted wealth from this plantation. His brother, Richard Atherton (1738-1804), a Preston woollen draper and one of the founders of the Preston Old Bank had also invested heavily into the Green Park Estate. He married Mary Griffiths in 1776 and lived at Green Bank Farm in Kirkham and had 6 children. During this period the small town was known for the manufacture of sailcloth. Richard's sons, John and Edward were the initial beneficiaries of Green Park Estate and nearby Spring Vale Pen. The estate was surveyed by James Robertson in 1793. It also appears on a map of 1804 complete with windmill. In 1811 Alexander Stevenson and Nicholas Smith recorded that of the 1,315 acre estate, 400 acres were apportioned for growing sugar cane. The estate had capacity to produce around 400 hogsheads of sugar a year. In 1816 Green Park Estate and nearby Spring Vale Pen had recorded a total of 795 chattel slaves. The Jamaican estates were then bequeathed by Edward Atherton to another member of the family. When runaways occurred and the overseer placed advertisements for their return. One such example from 1810 sought the return of “Lust”, a Portuguese slave, with his body markings clearly described. In the Jamaica Almanac of 1824 Spring Vale Pen had 571 head of cattle and 186 slaves. Green Park Estate was eventually divided amongst the daughters of his brother, Henry Atherton (1740–1816), a barrister, and his cousin, Colonel John Joseph Atherton of Walton Hall, Liverpool, the son of John Atherton, his slave trader uncle, who died in 1786 who had become brother in law to James Alan Park. The heirs of Eleanora Atherton retained ownership of the Green Park Estate until 1910. Slave Compensation Act 1837 Atherton's nieces, Eleanora Atherton and Lucy, the wife of Richard Willis, were entitled to claim for the compensation for the freeing of 544 slaves from the Green Park Estate and 182 slaves from Spring Vale Estate. Both nieces were compensated under the Slave Compensation Act 1837. Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio. As a consequence, the UK taxpayer was effectively paying for the compensation of British slave owners until 2015.

Green Park Estate, Jamaica

Green Park Estate was one of several sugar plantations owned by William Atherton and his heirs. It was located in Trelawny Parish, south of Falmouth, Jamaica. By the early nineteenth century, at least 533 people were enslaved there producing mainly sugar and rum. History Green Park Estate was one of the largest and oldest sugar plantations in Trelawny parish, dating back to 1655, with the Invasion of Jamaica by the English, when Oliver Cromwell first granted land to James Bradshaw, the son of John Bradshaw, one of the regicides who signed the death warrant of King Charles I. Adjoining lands were granted to the Barrett family by King Charles II in 1660. Among the earliest owners was George Sinclair of Saint Ann Parish who acquired the estate around 1740. In the 1760s Thomas Southworth, a merchant from Kingston in partnership with John Kennion, a kinsman of Edward Kennion, changed the name of the estate from Green Pond to Green Park, and started to transform it from being a cattle farm, into a large sugar plantation. He died shortly after he commenced construction of the main residence in 1764. The estate was bequeathed to William Atherton, a Kingston merchant. The estate was already fully functioning producing sugar, rum and holding livestock. Atherton built a fortress plantation house, as his primary residence on the grounds of the Green Park Estate. Suitable defenses were a requirement mandated by the British colonial authorities, in event of a Spanish attack, or a slave revolt. He purchased the adjoining plantations, such as the Bradshaw Estate in 1771, increasing Green Park Estate to over . He constructed a second sugar mill in 1773, complete with a stone windmill, which was supplemented by the power of oxen. It is estimated that his operations in Jamaica continuously had close to 800 people enslaved. Green Park had now become the third largest estate in Trelawny Parish, out of a total of 88 estates. The capacity of the plantation continued to expand. It had a larger slave population, and the overseer operated four field gangs. The workers village numbered over 30 buildings. Atherton would spend a great deal of time in England as an absentee landlord, however visited his Green Park frequently. Since the roads to the plantations were often bad, he preferred to keep a home on Queen Street in Martha Brae.

He is likely to have been concerned about profits than welfare of the hundreds of slaves he now owned. Francis Falshaw assumed the role in 1768, and was replaced by Atherton's appointment of Christopher Forsyth in 1779. Edmund Eccleston was overseer from 1782 to 1791, followed by William Fairclough from 1792 to 1808. Each overseer would have handed out a fair share of reprimands, ordered beatings, torture or murder. Each overseer had different traits. Some would have treated those enslaved in a more humane manner, and some would have committed great sin, be it of their own accord, or simply following orders of the plantation owner. The West Indian planter class of which Atherton was part of, was entering a period of economic decline. Atherton left Jamaica for the newly independent United States in 1783, shortly after the Treaty of Paris. He retained offices in Kingston, Jamaica to oversee all his enterprises that generated wealth derived from slavery. Such vast fortune allowed him to eventually retire in comfort to his large country estate, Prescot Hall in St. Helens in 1787, after residing in the United States for just under a period of 5 years. Atherton's elder brother, a Preston woollen draper and banker had also invested heavily into Green Park. His sons, John and Edward were the initial beneficiaries of Green Park Estate and nearby Spring Vale Pen. The estate was surveyed by James Robertson in 1793. It also appears on a map of 1804 complete with windmill. In 1811 Alexander Stevenson and Nicholas Smith recorded that of the 1,315 acre estate, 400 acres were apportioned for growing sugar cane.

Green Park Estate was eventually divided amongst the daughters of his brother, Henry Atherton (1740–1816), a barrister, and his cousin, Colonel John Joseph Atherton of Walton Hall, Liverpool, the son of John Atherton, his slave trader uncle, who died in 1786 who had become brother in law to James Alan Park. After the abolition of slavery in the British colonies, the owners of the plantation were entitled to claim for the compensation, by the freeing of 544 slaves from Green Park, and a further 182 slaves from Spring Vale Estate, controlled by the same absentee owners. The owner received two separate compensation payments under the Slave Compensation Act 1837. £10,172 17s 9d for the release of enslaved at Green Park and £3,466 8s 8d for those held at Spring Vale. The compensation was split between William Harrison of London, the father of Joseph Feilden and Eleanora Atherton. The heirs of Eleanora Atherton retained ownership of the Green Park Estate until 1910, when it was sold to Walter Woolliscroft, the estate manager. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 caused the price of sugar to plummet and forced him into bankruptcy. The Green Park Estate closed in 1957. Contemporary era Green Park Great House was purchased by Ray Fremmer, an American WW2 veteran, an eccentric amateur historian and archaeologist originally from Boston, who moved to Jamaica before 1960. Fremmer was the author of the 1963 book, Jamaica's heroes and patriots, and led the 1965 excavation of the heroes of the Morant Bay rebellion. In 1970, Fremmer was the victim of a home invasion which resulted in the death of one of the assailants. He was charged with murder but was later acquitted. He single-handedly attempted to restore the manor, known as the “Great House” and the stone windmill on a limited budget, with a view of making it a slave heritage museum. Fremmer was very much a recluse in his final years whilst he continued to unearth historic items; artifacts such as tools and beads, as well as human remains dating back several hundred years. The Great House was given to the people of Jamaica after Fremmers untimely death on the property in 1990. It is now in ruins.

Jim Averill

James Averill is an American retired ice hockey defenseman who was an All-American for Northeastern. Career When he graduated from Wayland High School in 1981, Averill was already a local hockey star. He was a Dual County MVP and had made the All-scholastic team while being a three-sports standout for the Warriors. He began attending Northeastern University the following fall and joined the ice hockey team just in time for the program's surprising jump into the big time. Prior to the 1981–82 season, the Huskies had never won a playoff game and had no 20-win seasons in nearly 50 years of play. Averill's arrival coincided with the Huskies winning the east region and finishing second the 17-team ECAC Hockey. For the first time in their history, Northeastern was able to play a home-site playoff game and used a big performance by their defense to propel themselves to not only a postseason victory, but won the ECAC Tournament, reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time. While the offense had led the Huskies during the regular season, it was their defense that carried them to victory in March; NU allowed just two goals in each of their three games (half of when they averaged during the regular season). For their already stellar season, Northeastern received the top eastern seed and were matched against an underestimated Bowling Green in the quarterfinals. The teams fought to a 2–2 draw in the first match and repeated the performance in game two. With the score evenly knotted, the Huskies played the longest game in program history to that point, needing three overtimes to decide the winner. In the end Averill got to raise his arms in celebration as Northeastern scored the winner and sent the Huskies into the frozen four. In the national semifinal, Northeastern's magical run finally ended with a 2–6 drubbing at the hands of eventual champion North Dakota. The Huskies were sent to the consolation game and took their frustration out on ECAC runner-up New Hampshire to the tune of 10–4. Unfortunately for Averill, Northeastern reverted to type after 1982 and the Huskies missed the postseason entirely the next two years. While the team wasn't very good, Averill led the defensive corps in scoring for three straight years, ending his time with the Huskies as an All-American in 1985 and finishing as the then-second highest scoring defenseman in program history. Averill retired as a player after graduating and was inducted into the Northeastern athletic Hall of Fame in 2002.

Stephanie Rhoades

The Honorable Stephanie Rhoades served as a District Court Judge in Anchorage, Alaska from 1992 to 2017. Judge Stephanie Rhoades founded the Anchorage Coordinated Resources Project (ACRP), better known as the Anchorage Mental Health Court (AMHC). AMHC was the first mental health court established in Alaska and the fourth mental health court established in the United States. Legal scholars suggest in the Alaska Law Review that mental health courts are to be considered therapeutic jurisprudence and define crime that deserves therapeutic justice as “a manifestation of illness of the offender’s body or character.” They follow that crime that falls under this definition “should be addressed through treatment by professionals.” Rhoades saw how a jail sentence can be immensely detrimental to the quality of life of incarcerated individuals with mental illness. She noted that jail time often resulted in medication disruptions and placed these individuals at high risk for victimization. She also argued that extended stays in prison can increase suicidal tendencies in people with mental illness. Her vision was to decriminalize mental illness and reduce incarceration levels of those living with mental illness. Research shows that in 1998, 238,000 offenders serving time were living with mental illness. Judge Stephanie Rhoades founded AMHC armed with “a committee of court staff, attorneys, treatment providers, corrections personnel and other individuals." In order to alleviate the strain of the criminal justice system on people with mental illness, she incorporated (1) education or employment counseling; (2) benefit application assistance for the unemployable; (3) safe and supportive housing; (4) routine check ins for substance abuse; and (5) scheduled productive socially integrative activities. Early life and education District Court Judge Stephanie Rhoades was born in Newton, Massachusetts where she attended Needham High School. She graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Boston, Massachusetts with a bachelor’s degree in Legal Services in 1983. In 1986, she then earned her J.D. from the Northeastern University School of Law in Boston, Massachusetts. At the start of her career, Rhoades served on the Alaska Supreme Court from 1986 to 1987. Following, she served as a law clerk to the District Attorney’s Office in Anchorage from 1988 to 1992. She would then serve as a District Court Judge from 1992 to 2017. Rhoades is the spouse to Russel Webb. She relocated from Massachusetts to Alaska in 1986; she has lived in Anchorage, Alaska for thirty-four years. Anchorage Coordinated Resources Project The Honorable Stephanie Rhoades founded the Anchorage Coordinated Resources Project (ACRP), otherwise known as the Anchorage Mental Health Court (AMHC) in 1998. AMHC was the first mental health court established in Alaska and the fourth mental health court established in the United States. The Court Coordinated Resources Project (CCRP) was officially established in April 1999, through an administrative order signed by the Honorable Elaine Andrews, the at time Circuit Court Presiding Judge. Andrews appointed Judges Stephanie Rhoades and John Lohff to build the foundation of CCRP, then AMHC. AMHC provides “therapeutic intervention” for individuals with mental illness who are likely to serve jail time where they may not be given the appropriate medical care. During her role in the AMHC, Rhoades also ensured that judges receive concentrated mental health training. Rhoades attests that "judges with personal and professional interests in improving criminal justice . . . have been key leaders in court development, expansion, and innovation." It is expected of the judges of the mental health courts to de-stigmatize mental illness in their courtroom. She calls for “a situation that is sympathetic and helpful and motivating and engaging for everyone.” The jurisdiction of AMHC is in Anchorage’s District Court, where state and municipal misdemeanor and felony offenses are heard. AMHC is a diversion program that works to shift the presence of individuals with mental illness from the criminal justice system to the mental health system. It serves as a diversion from the criminalization of individuals living with mental illness. In the early days of AMHC, only misdemeanor cases were heard. The Alaska Court System has allowed the AMHC to grow in that it now hears both misdemeanor and felony cases. The program's development to reach more participants in the mental health court includes the following criteria for eligibility, “a defendant must be: (1) [c]harged with a misdemeanor crime or class C felony, (2) [d]iagnosed with a mental illness, (3) [r]esiding in the Municipality of Anchorage, (4) [w]illing to voluntarily participate in an individualized case plan in lieu of traditional bail or sentencing conditions, (5) [e]ligible to receive community behavioral service.” During the first year of AMHC’s presence in Anchorage, roughly 129 people with mental illness were penalized with probation rather than a lengthy jail sentence. Funding Rhoades first set forth a proposal for a Bureau of Justice assistance grant, but the proposal was denied. Soon after, the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority distributed funds to AMHC. These initial funds enabled the program to hire its first case coordinator and project manager, officiating AMHC. The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority serves Alaskans who experience mental illness through financing programs that benefit mentally disabled individuals. The Trust supplies over $20 million in grants for relevant causes per year. Representatives of the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority had close ties with Rhoades' CCRP subcommittee. Today, funding for AMHC comes from legislative financial aid, state and federal grants, and donations, both community-based and private. One cost break for AMHC includes selecting interns from the University of Alaska Anchorage. Retirement Judge Stephanie Rhoades retired from the bench on Friday, September 1, 2017 after 25 years of serving as a state judge. Superior Court Judge Jennifer Henderson took over the mental health court operations in 2017. Other activities Project Homeless Connect Rhoades is an active volunteer for Anchorage’s Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is a local event for homeless people in Anchorage. The event provides housing opportunities, amongst other services for the homeless community. Its goal is to create a collaborative of service providers, government agencies, and volunteers. Additionally, PHC collects data on the homelessness epidemic that is used to supply local, state, and federal databases. She is the Lead Food Coordinator for this Anchorage event. Anchorage Assembly's Committee on Homelessness Stephanie Rhoades and her husband Russ Webb are active members of the Anchorage Assembly's Committee on Homelessness. Russ formulated a 12-point plan for resolving Anchorage's homeless camps issue. Rhoades and Webb work on locating camps where they get campers involved. The pair focus on moving campers from the street to shelters. They also advocate for the prohibitions against naming camps public nuisances.

Northeastern University School of Journalism

Northeastern University School of Journalism is the journalism school of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to the school's six undergraduate and two graduate degree programs, Northeastern's flagship cooperative education program allows students to alternate semesters of full-time study and semesters of full-time, professional work in newsrooms, public relations firms, advertising agencies and non-profit organizations. History The Northeastern School of Journalism can trace its origin to 1959, when the English department began offering a journalism major following the university's liberal arts expansion beyond its foundational engineering and business programs. Boston native George A. Speers, a Yankee Quill Award recipient and Northeastern alumnus who previously worked in the university's press office, was appointed the first chairman of the newly formed journalism department in 1965. In 1986, the journalism department was reorganized and renamed the "School of Journalism." LaRue Gilleland, chairman of the journalism department at the University of Nevada, Reno, left to eventually become the first director of Northeastern's School of Journalism. Gilleland had had a long journalism career in Honolulu, Los Angeles, Tulsa and Memphis prior to going into academia. Following Gilleland's tenure from 1981 to 1992, he was credited by The Boston Globe with transforming a "small journalism department into a top-ranking J-School." Under his leadership, the department grew from three to 12 faculty members and student enrollment more than doubled. Gilleland's philosophy was that a journalist has to know a lot about a lot, which he put into practice by insisting on both a journalism core curriculum and an arts and sciences core curriculum. He also added new concentrations to reflect the changing world of communications. Following this success, a graduate program was unanimously approved in 1985. Nicholas Daniloff, a Harvard-educated former Moscow bureau chief for U.S. News and World Report, was chosen to serve as director of the school from 1992 to 1999. He was recognized for setting high standards. In 2002, Stephen Burgard, an alumnus of Brown University and Boston University, was appointed director of the school, where he served until 2014. A former editor at the Los Angeles Times, he was praised for helping the school embrace reporting in the digital age and guiding its integration into the newly created College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) at Northeastern. In recent years, the school has added courses and programs in coding, information visualization, videography, database management and game design. In 2015, veteran business journalist Jonathan Kaufman, a graduate of Yale and Harvard, was selected as director of the journalism school. He previously worked at Bloomberg News, The Wall Street Journal, where he spent time as China bureau chief, and The Boston Globe, earning two Pulitzer Prizes during his career. Academics Undergraduate programs The school's undergraduate program prepares students for a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in journalism. The school also offers combined majors in English, political science, criminal justice, computer science, media and screen studies, and data science, as well as minors in journalism; photojournalism; and creativity in theory and practice. Graduate programs Northeastern is one of only a few programs in New England that offers a postgraduate degree in journalism. The graduate program offers two tracks leading to a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in journalism. The professional track is designed for students will little or no journalism experience who take courses from a curriculum that combines a fundamental newsgathering education with new media courses. The media innovation track is designed for mid-career journalists who want to enhance their digital and multimedia skills. A second graduate program leading to a Master of Science degree in media advocacy provides training in advocacy from a strategic communications and legal perspective. Cooperative education In between regular terms of academic study, most students complete at least one cooperative education, or co-op, experience, working full-time at companies, agencies and organizations around the world that complement their academic major or interests. Co-ops typically range from three to six months. The Boston media market itself is among the top 10 U.S. media markets. It includes two large daily newspapers and The Christian Science Monitor; multiple local television news stations as well as two public television stations that produce the Frontline and American Experience national documentary series; New England Cable News, which is a 24-hour cable news network; two public radio stations that produce national programs; Boston Magazine; and the sports website Barstool Sports. Organization and research The Northeastern School of Journalism is housed in Northeastern's College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD). Faculty publish in a variety of scholarly and popular publications. Many students contribute to and edit in-house publications such as The Scope and Storybench, assist faculty with research through the Co-Laboratory for Data Impact or gain international reporting experience on reporting trips abroad. Campus The journalism school is located near the center of Northeastern's Boston campus just off Huntington Avenue in Lake Hall, constructed around 1911. The building once belonged to the United Drug Company. Originally, the drug company built six "turn-of-the-century industrial architecture" buildings as part of its corporate offices, and manufacturing and research facilities designed by the Boston firm of Gay and Proctor, and later modified by Wheelwright, Haven & Hoyt. Northeastern purchased them in 1961 and eventually demolished three structures in preparation of a sports facility. However, that plan was soon scrapped as the rapidly growing university was in need of office and laboratory spaces. One of the surviving red brick buildings, featuring terracotta ornamentation, was divided into four sections now known as Lake Hall, Holmes Hall, Nightingale Hall and Meserve Hall. Student media and other activities The Huntington News, founded in 1926 as The Northeastern News following the merger of two other campus newspapers, is Northeastern's independent student newspaper. It became the university's only independent news source when it severed ties from the university in 2008. WRBB (104.9 FM) is a student-run radio station that has served the Greater Boston area since it was founded in 1962. The Scope is a student-run digital magazine that prides itself on telling stories in the Greater Boston area that other news media overlook. Storybench, a digital storytelling site staffed by students, examines the latest in digital storytelling, from data visualization and investigative journalism to virtual reality and the digital humanities. Northeastern University TV (NUTV), the university's only student-run video production club, produces campus news, sports and entertainment programming. Through Northeastern's Dialogue of Civilizations summer program, students can choose to travel abroad with a university faculty member for about 30 days to learn about a specific topic or course subject.

Thomas E. Penard

Thomas Edward Penard (7 May 1878 – 27 October 1936) was an American engineer and ornithologist who, along with his brothers studied the birds of Surinam. Along with his brothers, he also took and interest in folklore and linguistics in the Caribbean. Penard was the second child of Dutch merchant Frederik and Philippina Salomons, then settled in Paramaribo, Surinam, a Dutch colony. His older brother Frederik Paul (26 January 1876 – 4 September 1909) and a younger brother Arthur Philip (6 April 1880 – 12 September 1932) who were affected by leprosy from a young age were forced out of school and educated at home. To avoid infection, Thomas and the youngest son William were sent off to the United States of America at the age of thirteen and grew up in Everett, Massachusetts. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree in electrical engineering in 1900 and joined the Edison Electric Illuminating Company in Boston. He later helped establish evening education at the Northeastern University, Boston where he also taught. Frederik and Arthur who stayed on at home were well known for their ornithological work which they began in 1896, with collections made for them by natives and deposited at their home in Waterkant. The collections and information collation resulted finally in the publication of De Vogels van Guyana (in two volumes published 1908 and 1910). A part of the Surinam collections was sold off to Lord Rothschild and it was used to fund the publication of the first volume. It was their mother who handled correspondence and it was through her that support for the second volume of their book came from the Leiden Museum. They also interacted with Philip Lutley Sclater. Thomas also took an interest in birds from 1918 and his brother Arthur helped him with a collection of nearly 2000 bird skins between 1912 and 1914 which were held by Thomas in Arlington.Thomas collaborated with Outram Bangs to study the birds of Surinam and published several notes. Frederik died before the second volume was made and Arthur later went blind but continued to have notes dictated. Unable in later life to spare enough time from engineering work, Thomas sold off his collections of birds to the Museum of Comparative Zoology in 1930. Penard married Sabrina Grant in 1905 and they had a son. The subspecies Jacamerops aureus penardi was named in his honour by Bangs.

Afro-American Association

The Afro-American Association (AAA) was an influential organization founded in 1962 that started as a study group teaching African and African American history, later hosting speakers, meetings, forums, and other activities. Historian Donna Murch has described it as “the most foundational institution in the Black Power movement.” Organization In 1962, a group of graduate and law students at UC Berkeley started a reading group with the goal of educating themselves and their community about African and African American history. The founding members were Donald Warden, Donald Hopkins, Otho Green, and Henry Ramsey. Susan D. Anderson, a curator at the California African American Museum, said "They read the black writers that the university was ignoring…(and) devoured Ralph Ellison, discussed Carter G. Woodson, debated W.E.B. DuBois. They talked about apartheid, about African decolonization, about liberation movements in the developing world, and about the history of racism in America." There were also chapters in other cities and universities. The Los Angeles chapter was chaired by Maulana Karenga. Donald Warden visited Portland in 1963 and returned in February 1964, proposing to form a chapter of the Afro-American Association in that city. In the mid-1960s, students formed a chapter of the Afro-American Association at Duke University in North Carolina. At Northeastern University in Massachusetts in 1966, students dissatisfied with Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee formed an AAA chapter to advocate for African American students and political awareness on campus. Students at the University of Alabama established an Afro-American Association in 1968, which later became their Black Student Union. Impact Donald Warden mentored Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, who were Afro-American Association members and co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. Another AAA member, Kenny Freeman, contributed to the party's Ten-Point Program. The parents of Kamala Harris, Donald J. Harris and Shyamala Gopalan, were part of the study group that became the Afro-American Association. Several members became prominent cultural and political leaders. These included Ron Dellums (congressman and Oakland mayor), Judge Thelton Henderson, and Cedric Robinson (professor and scholar of Black Studies). Henry Ramsey became an Alameda County Superior Court judge, member of the Berkeley City Council, and dean of the Howard University School of Law.

Ken Manchurek (born November 12, 1961) is a Canadian retired ice hockey left wing who was an All-American for Northeastern. Career Manchurek began attending Northeastern University in the fall of 1980 and posted decent numbers as a freshman. The following year Manchurek doubled his point production and helped the Huskies to their best season in history. The team finished 2nd in ECAC Hockey winning their division and posting the program's first 20-win season. NU won all three of their conference playoff games to win the first conference championship in program history. Northeastern received the top eastern seed for the NCAA Tournament and won a very close quarterfinal series over Bowling Green. Northern's run ended with a loss in the national semifinal but then won the consolation game to finish the tournament in 3rd place. In the six succeeding NCAA appearances for the Huskies, NU has yet to win another tournament game (as of 2021). The miraculous run Northeastern had in 1982 couldn't be sustained and the team sank to 12th in the standings the following year. Manchurek, however, still put up good numbers and led the Huskies in scoring. He was named team captain for his senior season, again leading the club in scoring, and was named an All-American. Manchurek retired as a player once his four years of varsity play were up and he graduated the next year with a degree in business. he was inducted into the Northeastern Athletic hall of Fame in 2006.

Jennie Stephens

Jennie C. Stephens (born March 8, 1975, in Dublin, Ireland) is an academic researcher, professor, author, and social justice advocate. She is currently the Director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs and the Dean's Professor of Sustainability Science & Policy at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. She is also the Director for Strategic Research Collaborations at Northeastern University's Global Resilience Institute, and is affiliated with the Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program, the department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the department of Cultures, Societies & Global Studies. Stephens has worked extensively on energy system innovation and the societal transformation away from fossil fuel reliance. Her research mainly focuses on renewable energy transformation, energy democracy, energy resilience, gender and energy, climate and energy justice, and climate engineering. She is the author of Diversifying Power: Why We Need Anti-Racist, Feminist Leadership on Climate and Energy, Smart Grid (R)Evolution: Electric Power Struggles, Climate Change: An Encyclopedia of Science and History. Education Stephens received her bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Public Policy from Harvard University in 1997. She then enrolled at California Institute of Technology and earned her Master's and Doctoral Degree in Environmental Science and Engineering in 1998 and 2002, respectively. Her dissertation advisor at Caltech was Janet Hering, and while at Caltech she also completed a graduate minor in Science, Ethics and Society. Career Following her Doctoral Degree, Stephens served as Post-Doctoral Research Scholar at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School from 2002 till 2005. During this time she also held brief appointments as Adjunct Lecturer at Tufts University and Boston University in 2003, and as a Visiting Lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2004. She was appointed by Clark University as Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Policy in 2005, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. She was twice appointed as Research Associate at the Harvard Kennedy School from 2005 till 2011 and then in 2013. In 2014, she joined the faculty of the University of Vermont (UVM) as an endowed Professor; she was the inaugural Blittersdorf Professor of Sustainability Science and Policy. At UVM, she was a faculty member in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources and also an affiliate at the Gund Institute. In 2016, she became the Dean's Professor of Sustainability Science and Policy at Northeastern University. Stephens currently serves as the Director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, and Director for Strategic Research Collaborations at The Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University. Research Stephens's research primarily focuses on renewable energy transformation, energy democracy, energy resilience, gender and energy, reducing fossil fuel reliance, and climate engineering. She has also conducted research on the role of higher education in advancing sustainability and a transformation toward a more just and equitable society. Education as a change agent Stephens conducted a study in 2008 to increase the consideration for the potential in context of institutions of higher education to be the change agents for sustainability in different cultures and contexts. She also highlighted the challenges associated with accelerating environmental change, resource scarcity, increasing inequality and injustice. In her study, she explored the theoretical framework of transition management (TM) to promote change in social systems, and to provide guidance in terms of informing and prioritizing future empirical research regarding the sustainability in higher education. Stephens conducted a study on the processes, opportunities and challenges of shared action learning, and presented five stages in this context, including project impetus, reflection and reporting, contextual research and project planning, community engagement and project refinement, and action. She defined shared action learning as "a process in which students, faculty, and community sponsors share learning experiences while working on sustainability projects for a specific community", and also discussed its applications in context of different communities across the globe. Energy democracy In 2018, Stephens along with co-authors presented a critical review based on political power and renewable energy futures, and theorized connections between energy systems and democratic political power. Furthermore, she highlighted the opportunities that renewable energy opens in context of democratic energy development. She has discussed energy democracy in terms of goals, outcomes and policy instruments for sociotechnical transitions. Her research has enhanced the visibility of the energy democracy movement, and has evaluated the policy instruments advanced by its advocates. With Matt Burke, Elizabeth Wilson and Tarla Rai Peterson, Stephens proposed a framework called, Socio-Political Evaluation of Energy Deployment, for the integrated analysis of legal, political, economic, and social factors that influence energy technology deployment decisions at the state level to increase awareness regarding the interconnections and enable accelerated change in energy infrastructure of society. In 2012, she conducted an analysis of a sustainable energy cluster for regional economic development in context of Central Massachusetts. Results of her study suggested that sustainable energy cluster initiatives have the potential to accelerate change in entrenched energy regimes by generating regional ‘buzz’ around sustainable energy activities, promoting institutional thickness, and developing trust among stakeholders in the region. Furthermore, she assessed innovation dynamics of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), and emphasized the potential of these emerging energy technologies in terms of minimizing greenhouse gas emissions from electrical power generation in the United States. Climate resilience In her work regarding climate resilience, Stephens regarded wind power as an important climate change mitigation technology, and rapidly growing renewable energy technology in context of the United States. She conducted a comparative content and frame analysis of newspaper coverage regarding wind power in Texas, Minnesota, and Massachusetts, and explored state-level variations in the salience of wind in public discourse. She has also focused her study on the growing interest in carbon capture and storage (CCS) in terms of climate change mitigation, and discussed the influence of government and international treaties in context of CCS initiatives. Furthermore, she has described the tensions within a shared smart grid vision and demonstrated how competing societal priorities influence electricity system innovation.

An initial town hall meeting about the future of the MAD Pages took place at a Conference for African American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS). This led to an informal group of mathematicians who decided to work together to preserve Williams’ work. In 2015, the National Association of Mathematicians (NAM) formed an ad hoc committee to update the MAD Pages, consisting of Edray Goins as NAM President, Committee Co-Chairs Don King (Northeastern University) and Asamoah Nkwanta (Morgan State University), and web developer John Weaver (Varsity Software). The site was officially relaunched on October 9th, 2020. MAD is supported by the National Association of Mathematicians (NAM) and the Educational Advancement Foundation (EAF). Since 1997 the MAD pages have been viewed by more than 20 million people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emi%20Koyama

Emi Koyama

Emi Koyama (b. 1975) is a Japanese-American activist, artist, and independent scholar. Koyama's work discusses issues of feminism, intersex human rights, domestic violence, and sex work among many others. Koyama is best known for her 2000 essay "The Transfeminist Manifesto", which has been republished in many anthologies and journals for transgender studies. She is a founder of the advocacy group Intersex Initiative. Activism In 2001, Koyama served as a student intern and program assistant for the Intersex Society of North America, before leaving to found her own advocacy group, Intersex Initiative Portland (ipdx). The organization features classes, workshops, and speakers to discuss social, cultural, and medical issues faced by intersex people. Koyama and fellow intersex activist Betsy Driver also helped found Intersex Awareness Day in 2003, commemorating the first official demonstration by intersex activists in North America. Koyama is an advocate for third-wave feminism and transfeminism, with her 2000 publication "The Transfeminist Manifesto" being one of the earliest usages of the term. As defined by her, transfeminism is "a movement by and for trans women who view their liberation to be intrinsically linked to the liberation of all women and beyond." Alongside fellow Survivor Project member Diana Courvant, Koyama founded the website Transfeminism.org. The now defunct website was created originally to promote the Transfeminism Anthology Project, which aimed to create the first anthology centered around intersex and trans feminist perspectives; the website also served as a general resource surrounding discussion of transfeminism in academia and activism. Koyama is an advocate for the decriminalization of sex work, and is currently a member of the Coalition for Rights and Safety for People in the Sex Trade located in Seattle. Koyama was previously also a board member of the Survival Project, a now-defunct organization serving intersex and transgender survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. In 2001, Koyama helped form the Third Wave Feminisms Interest Group at the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA); the group aimed to "push forward the discussion about third wave feminisms by moving the focus away from generational politics or identity group and onto epistemological and ontological shifts made possible through adopting the label, 'third wave. While Koyama has been a regular participant and speaker in NWSA conferences, she has also been notably critical of the organization. In 2008, she published a blog post titled "This is Not a Tribute to Audre Lorde", criticizing the conference's treatment of her and other women of color. In 2013, Koyama also spoke out against the Forging Justice conference, sponsored by the National Organization for Men against Sexism (NOMAS) and the Michigan domestic violence organization HAVEN. Conference presenters allegedly refused to live stream her panel on intersectional feminism, and had threatened to interrupt it entirely. Koyama's writings on sex trafficking were also reportedly criticized by NOMAS co-founder Robert Brannon; she described Brannon as "violating her boundaries" during later interactions at the conference. Koyama, along with other female presenters at the conference, created a list of demands to NOMAS advocating for reform of the organization’s internal policies to prevent the silencing and mistreatment of female activists. Since 2000, Koyama has spoken out against the infamous "womyn-born womyn" policy at the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival. Her article "Whose Feminism is It Anyways? The Unspoken Racism of the Trans Inclusion Debate" criticized the festival's organizers for a policy that "essentializes, polarizes, and dichotomizes genders." Koyama also participated in a 2002 roundtable published in Bitch magazine focused on the festival, writing "women-only spaces are not as safe or free… but are rife with the same old racism, classism, ableism, and even internalized sexism acted on by women against other women." Koyama advocated instead for an ambiguous "women-only" policy that does not institute or enforce a specific definition of women. Koyama's blog Eminism features an archive that summarizes the debate and compiles historical documents related to the festival. Personal life Koyama resides in Portland, Oregon, with her two dogs. She continues to write about social justice issues on her blog and personal website, Eminism. She also runs an online store, where she sells buttons, zines, and apparel designed by herself and other activists. In a 2014 interview with Source Weekly, Koyama describes herself as being a "runaway teen" and having engaged in sex work as an adult. Koyama uses the pronouns she and her, but does not identify with any particular gender, stating on her blog that "she thinks that having an identity—especially gender identity—is kind of weird: how she views herself depends on the human relationships and interactions that surround her, rather than arising from some intrinsic core sense of self."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Right%20Question%20Institute

The Right Question Institute

The Right Question Institute (RQI) is a nonprofit educational organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is known for developing and sharing teaching methods and skill improvement techniques that focus on questioning, inquiry, self-advocacy, parent involvement, and citizen participation in democracy. It collaborates with organizations in areas such as primary, secondary, and higher education, voter engagement, health care, legal services, and social services to build people's skills for learning, engagement, advocacy, navigating systems, and taking action on their own behalf. RQI's methods are used in classroom settings to encourage student curiosity and questioning. RQI's stated motto is, "A Catalyst for Microdemocracy", which RQI describes as "the idea that ordinary encounters with public agencies are opportunities for individual citizens to ‘act democratically’ and participate effectively in decisions that affect them". History The origins of the organization stem from a dropout prevention program, funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in 1990. During this effort parents reported they struggled to get involved in their children's education because they didn't know what questions to ask. In its early days the organization was known as "the Right Question Project". The Right Question Institute was co-founded by Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana, who served as directors of the organization until May 2021. In May 2021, former EqualityMaine director Betsy Smith joined the Right Question Institute as executive director. During the 1990s the organization was mostly involved in conducting workshops and seminars for improving parent involvement in schools. Additionally, it also was involved in adult education, community organizing, and voter engagement. During this time, the institute coined and started to use the phrase Microdemocracy as a tool for shared decision-making and democratic action. Post 2000, the organization commenced activities in field of mental health. In 2017, The Right Question Institute received a grant from the National Science Foundation, through Brandeis University, for developing "the Question Improvement Model" to improve question formulation skills among students pursuing doctorates. In 2019, The Right question Institute received a grant from the National Science Foundation through Northeastern University for organizing a Conference on Question Formulation Technique in Higher Education. In the same year, the organization also received a grant from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program for implementation of "digitized primary sources in K-12 classrooms". In late 2019, the institute initiated the "Why Vote" campaign, an initiative to spread awareness about the necessity to participate in the electoral practice. In 2021, the institute collaborated with National Geographic to introduce a course to explore "Geo-Inquiry Questions" as part of National Geographic's Geo-Inquiry Learning Process. Question Formulation Technique The Question Formulation Technique (QFT) is a method developed by the Right Question Institute that allows and enables a person, typically a student, to ask questions while engaged in a learning process. RQI's co-founders, Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana, introduced educators to this method in a 2011 book, Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions, published by Harvard Education Press. In April 2018, the EBSCO Information Services reported that the Question Formulation Technique has been used by more than 250,000 instructors and educators across diverse disciplines in different educational systems. The model is described as a student-centric approach, rather than the traditional instructor-centric model, where students are encouraged to form questions, categorize them, improve them, use them, and reflect on the experience. The QFT is used by educators across all academic subject areas. Educators often use the QFT in connection to primary source learning, where the instructors select a suitable primary source and present it to students to aid them in formulating relevant questions. In this way, students, guided by the practice of question formulation, learn about the subject. The Right Question Institute, in collaboration with The Harvard Graduate School of Education, conducts a course in best practices in Question Formulation Technique. Voice in Decisions Technique The Voice in Decisions Technique (VIDT), formerly known as the Framework for Accountable Decision-Making (FADM), is a strategy or method which is used to make someone conscious about the decision-making process. It aims to make a person more effective by providing a method for actively participating in the decision-making process and identifying their roles in the decision-making process. A major practical application of this strategy has been in building more effective relationships between schools and parents/guardians, where schools enable parents/guardians to become more involved in decisions around their kids’ education. The model has also been applied in community health centers and in the domain of mental health, where the model is used to aid and assist patient activation to boost patients’ attendance and retention.

Rupal Patel (scientist)

Rupal Patel is a professor at Northeastern University Bouvé College of Health Sciences, USA in the area of speech science, audiology and information science. She is the director of the university's Communication Analysis and Design Laboratory. Education Patel gained her B. Sc. degree in neuropsychology from University of Calgary, graduating in 1993. She undertook further study at University of Toronto and gained her doctorate in the subject of speech language pathology in 2000. Career In 2003 she was appointed as an assistant professor at Northeastern University, and was promoted to professor in 2014. Her post is jointly between the university's Bouvé College of Health Sciences and Khoury College of Computer Sciences, reflecting her research. This has concentrated on the acquisition and impairment of speech, specifically prosody, in healthy speakers and those with neuromotor disorders. This has led to the very practical design of speech enhancement and learning technologies to generate naturalistic synthetic voices for those with speech disorders by making use of their residual speaking ability. Since the mid 2000s she has led development of computer systems that can generate a naturalistic synthetic voice. This resulted from her work on speech analysis. Those with speech disorders can often produce a sound, but cannot shape it into speech with their mouths. Her research group developed a computer system that allowed speech to be different for each individual based on their natural sound. The pitch, loudness, breathiness and clarity of normal speech was generated by applying the computer system to a recording of a sample of the sound the individual was able to produce. By 2013 she could produce synthetic voices in the laboratory. She founded the spin-out company VOCALiD in 2014 and has continued development of the machine learning and speech blending used for generating the synthetic voices. By the early 2020s the systems were able to reproduce existing voices as well as synthesise new ones. One use was for voice actors to be able to have an exact copy, or clone, of their voice to use in their work. Publications Patel is the author or co-author of over 60 scientific publications or book chapters. In 2013 she was invited to present a TED talk about Synthetic voices, as unique as fingerprints.

Life Early stage Born on January 5, 1932, in Shimen County, Hunan Province, Republic of China, with his father, a member of the Legislature, as his fourth child. The temporary capital of the Chiang Kai-shek administration of Nationalist government was placed in Chongqing in December 1938, but before that, in 1937, he evacuated to Chongqing with his father and stepmother and entered an elementary school there. However, due to repeated Bombing of Chongqing, he was unable to settle in one place. In 1943, he enrolled in Nankai Junior High School, which was evacuated to Chongqing at the time. He transferred to a high school in Nanjing, which became the capital of Chiang Kai-shek administration again in 1946, after the collapse of Wang Jingwei regime. In 1948 he moved to Changsha and transferred to another junior high school. In 1949, he fled to Taiwan with his father and stepmother due to the Chinese Civil War, but separated from the four siblings who remained on the continent. His parents died without being able to resume with their children. Republic of China Navy He enrolled in the Republic of China Navy Mechanical School in 1949, entered the Department of Electrical Engineering a year later, earned a bachelor's degree in 1954, served in the Republic of China Navy from 1954 to 1956, and became a lieutenant in the Navy.

Career Following his Doctoral Degree, Bapna started his career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas in 1999. In the following year, he held appointment at Northeastern University as an Assistant Professor. In 2001, he joined the University of Connecticut as an Assistant Professor, and became an Associate Professor and Ackerman Scholar in 2004. From 2006 till 2008, he was appointed by the Indian School of Business as an Associate Professor of Information Systems. He then held appointment at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities as a tenured Associate Professor till 2010, and as Board of Overseers (Full) Professor till 2015. During his tenure at the University of Minnesota, Bapna also held several administrative appointments. He served as a Department Chair for Information and Decision Science till 2015, as Program Director for MS-Business Analytics Program till 2017, and became an Academic Director of Carlson Analytics Lab, and Curtis L. Carlson Chair in Business Analytics and Information Systems in 2015, an Associate Dean for Executive Education in 2017, and Academic Director for Analytics for Good Institute in 2020. From 2012 to 2016, he was the founding academic co-director (with Professor Joe Konstan) of University of Minnesota's Social Media and Business Analytics Collaborative (SOBACO). In 2021, Bapna was appointed as Area Leader of the Information Systems area at the Indian School of Business with the role of providing academic leadership and counsel to the ISB Dean Madan Pilutla. Research Bapna primarily focuses on big-data analytics, peer influence, social media, monetization and design of Freemium communities, online dating and matching, economics of information systems, online auctions, e-market design, and grid computing, etc. Online auctions In his study regarding online auctions, Bapna highlighted the weakness of the approaches where a majority of auctions are multiunit in nature, studied the largely ignored discrete and sequential nature of such auctions, and showed the non-uniformity of consumer bidding strategies. He explored the simulation approach, and examined the decision space for both bid takers and bid makers in web-based dynamic price setting processes. He also found out that hybrid strategies have the potential of significantly altering bidders' likelihood of winning, as well as their surplus. In 2020, he focused the allocative efficiency in online auctions, and improved the performance of multiple online auctions while using seek-and-protect agents. Furthermore, he demonstrated how the taxonomy of bidder behavior can be used to enhance the design of some types of information systems. Social media- randomized field experiments Bapna conducted a randomized experiment and tested the existence of causal peer influence in the general population. This paper received the best paper award from Management Science (IS area) in 2018. He has recently developed ‘honest-bagging’ approach based on the principles of causal forests, and discussed its role in personalizing the high-dimensional treatment around which images to show to what types of users. In his study, he also focused online dating platforms, and highlighted the impact of a particular anonymity feature, which is unique to online environments, on matching outcomes. He further demonstrated that weak signaling is a key mechanism in achieving higher levels of matching outcomes. In 2017, he conducted randomized experiments to test the efficacy of using financial incentives, and social norms in terms of motivating consumers, and to evaluate the treatment-induced self-selection and sentiment bias. Experiential learning and teaching innovation Being the Academic Director of the Carlson Analytics Lab, Bapna focuses on different kinds of business analytics problems. As an Academic Director of the AGI, Bapna along with Mary Zellmer-Bruhn and Ellen Trader leads a research group which addresses issues related to gender equality in the workplace, with a particular attention on three major themes: Funding & Founders, Entry & Advancement, and Value & Voice.

Israel Ruby

Israel Ruby was an American attorney and politician who served on the Boston City Council from 1926 to 1934 and was a Judge of the Williamstown District Court from 1937 to 1952. Early life Ruby attended Boston public schools, The English High School, and Northeastern University. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1913. During World War I, Ruby was denied enlistment to the United States Army and Navy and instead was active in the Liberty bond program and the American Red Cross. He was also a longtime basketball and football referee and served as secretary-treasurer of the New England Basketball Officials' Association. A Zionist, Ruby raised funds for the reconstruction of Jewish settlements destroyed in the 1929 Palestine riots. Politics In 1925, the first year the Boston City Council switched from at-large to district representation, Ruby was elected to represent Ward 14. In 1933, Ruby, then the most senior member of the council not to have served as president, ran for council president. The first vote was taken on January 3. Ruby led on the first ballot, receiving seven votes. On the second ballot, Joseph McGrath took the lead with 8 votes to Ruby's 6, with 8 councilors voting for other candidates. The council remained deadlocked for weeks and Ruby threw his support behind Joseph Cox. Ruby believed that his candidacy had failed because of Antisemitism. In the 1933 election, Ruby finished third behind Maurice M. Goldman and Bernard Finkelstein. He was one of 8 councilors to lose reelection that year. Judiciary In 1937, outgoing Governor James Michael Curley appointed Ruby to be a special justice of the Williamstown District Court. In 1938, Governor Charles F. Hurley promoted him to presiding justice. In 1950, Ruby was accused of unethical conduct and W. Arthur Garrity Jr. was appointed as a special prosecutor. On January 8, 1951, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice Edward A. Counihan sustained three of the charges against Ruby and disbarred him. The sustained charges were that Ruby had asked for $25 from a defendant in a gambling case, had solicited divorce business from the bench, and offered to "cinch" an eviction case for a landlord if he loaned him $200 or $300. Although he was disbarred, Ruby was allowed to remain on the bench, as Massachusetts law does not require a judge to be a member of the bar. On April 2, 1952, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld Ruby's disbarment. On April 30, 1952, the Massachusetts Bar Association filed a request for Ruby's impeachment with the Massachusetts General Court. The following day, Ruby resigned. Ruby died on September 7, 1983, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was 95 years old. At the time of his death, Ruby was a resident of Longmeadow, Massachusetts.

Clifford B. Janey

Clifford B. Janey (June 28, 1946 – February 13, 2020) was an American educator who served as superintendent of District of Columbia Public Schools, Newark Public Schools, and Rochester City School District. Early life and education Janey was born June 28, 1946 in Boston, Massachusetts, in the Roxbury neighborhood. He graduated high school from Boston Latin School. He graduated college from Northeastern University in 1969. He attended Northeastern again for his master's degree, which he received in 1973 for reading and elementary education. In 1984, he received a doctorate from Boston University in education policy, planning and administration. Early career Janey worked in Boston Public Schools as a teacher, a middle school principal, and an area superintendent, and chief academic officer. Superintendent of the Rochester City School District Janey departed from Boston Public Schools in 1995, when he was hired to serve as the superintendent of the Rochester City School District, the public school system of Rochester, New York. He held this position until 2002. In Rochester, Janey collaborated with union leader Adam Urbanski to create a "peer assistance and review" process to support and evaluate teachers. Despite their work together, in 2002, Urbanski would publicly blast measures Janey proposed to close a large gap in the district's budget as "draconian". Janey did not have a strong relationship with Mayor William A. Johnson Jr. Janey created specific "performance benchmarks" for the school district to pursue. Upon Janey's death, Justin Murphy of the Democrat and Chronicle described this action as, "forward-thinking as a school reform measure, even if the district never actually attained its goals for student achievement." During his tenure, the district launched its pre-kindergarten program, which has received much praise. Janey's departure in 2002 took place amid a budget crisis. A number of midyear budget gaps had occurred over the course of his tenure. Embattled, Janey reached a mutual agreement with the school board to leave his position in May 2002, two years prior to his contract's expiration. He was succeeded by Bolgen Vargas. Superintendent of District of Columbia Public Schools In 2004, Janey was hired by Mayor Anthony A. Williams to serve as superintendent of the District of Columbia Public Schools, which was beset with troubles. He was highly anticipated, when he was hired, as prospectively leading a turnaround of the school system. When he was hired, was the sixth person in a ten-year period to hold the position of superintendent. Janey would later describe the school system he inherited leadership of as being dysfunctional. Janey received credit for implementing stringent academic standards about what needed to be taught at each grade level in the school system. During his tenure, the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses and the number of high school graduates who went on to attend college rose. Nevertheless, many problems in the district persisted. Janey created the D.C. Education Compact, which consisted of government leaders, community activists, educators, union officials, business leaders, and philanthropic leaders. This group advised him on his strategic plan for the district. In 2007, Janey departed from the position at the request of Mayor Adrian Fenty, who claimed that he desired a change of leadership at the top of the school district, wanting to see "radical change" in the school system. He was succeeded by Michelle Rhee. Superintendent of Newark Public Schools In 2008, Janey became the superintendent of Newark Public Schools In 2011, Governor Chris Christie informed Janey that his three-year contract would not be renewed. Under Janey, the Brick Avon Academy was created. This school saw teachers elect a group from among themselves to make decisions on the school's curriculum, budgeting, and hiring. Later career Janey worked as a research fellow at the Bank Street College of Education. He later worked as a research scholar at the school of education at Boston University. Other work Janey served on the board of the Albert Shanker Institute. Personal life Janey had a divorce from his first wife, Phyllis Janey. They had two daughters, including Kim Janey, who would go on to serve as acting mayor of Boston. Janey remarried to Janaya Majied, who died in 2000. They had three children together. He remaired again to Barbara Janey in 2003. Janey died on February 13, 2020 at his residence in Washington, D.C. His widow, Barbara Janey, said that his death was due to a heart ailment.
