'''Amrita Sher-Gil''' (30 January 1913 – 5 December 1941) was a Hungarian-Indian painter. She has been called "one of the greatest [[avant-garde]] women artists of the early 20th century" and a pioneer in modern Indian art. Drawn to painting from an early age, Sher-Gil started formal lessons at the age of eight. She first gained recognition at the age of 19, for her [[oil painting]] ''Young Girls'' (1932) (shown below). Sher-Gil depicted everyday life of the people in her paintings.

Sher-Gil traveled throughout her life to various countries including Turkey, France, and India, deriving heavily from precolonial Indian art styles as well as contemporary culture. Sher-Gil is considered an important painter of 20th-century India, whose legacy stands on a level with that of the pioneers from the [[Bengali Renaissance|Bengal Renaissance]]. She was also an avid reader and a pianist. Sher-Gil's paintings are among the most expensive by Indian women painters today, although few acknowledged her work when she was alive.

Sher-Gil's early paintings display a significant influence of the [[Western art history|Western]] modes of painting, more specifically, the [[Post-impressionism]] style. She practiced a lot in the Bohemian circles of Paris in the early 1930s.

During her stay at Saraya, Sher-Gil painted the ''Village Scene,'' ''In the Ladies' Enclosure,'' and ''Siesta,'' all of which portray the leisurely rhythms of life in rural India.

Although from a family that was closely tied to the [[British Raj]], Sher-Gil herself was a [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] sympathiser. She was attracted to the poor, distressed and the deprived and her paintings of Indian villagers and women are a meditative reflection of their condition. She was also attracted by Gandhi's philosophy and lifestyle. [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Nehru]] was charmed by her beauty and talent and when he went to Gorakhpur in October 1940, he visited her at Saraya. Her paintings were at one stage even considered for use in the Congress propaganda for village reconstruction.<ref name="frontline2013"/> However, despite being friends with Nehru, Sher-Gil never drew his portrait, supposedly because the artist thought he was "too good looking."<ref name="indiatoday.intoday.in">{{cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/amrita-sher-gil/1/869889.html|title=Why Amrita Sher-Gil refused to draw Nehru's portrait : Art and Culture|website=indiatoday.intoday.in|access-date=14 May 2017|archive-date=14 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914033318/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/amrita-sher-gil/1/869889.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Nehru attended her exhibition held in New Delhi in February 1937.<ref name="indiatoday.intoday.in"/> Sher-Gil exchanged letters with Nehru for a time, but those letters were burned by her parents when she was away getting married in Budapest.<ref name="indiatoday.intoday.in"/>

On September 18 2023, an artwork by Amrita Sher-Gil fetched $7.4 million (Rs 61.8 crore) at a recent auction, setting a record for the highest price achieved by an Indian artist. The artwork, titled 'The Story Teller', was painted by Ms Sher-Gil in 1937. SaffronArt, the auction house, organised the sale on Saturday night. This comes just 10 days after modernist Syed Haider Raza's painting titled 'Gestation' fetched ₹ 51.7 crore at Pundole auction house. In a page dedicated to the artwork, SaffronArt said the legendary artist sought to explore the realm of domestic life in 'The Story Teller'. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/amrita-sher-gils-the-story-teller-fetches-record-rs-61-8-crore-at-auction-4400005#pfrom=home-ndtv_lateststories|title=Amrita Sher-Gil's 'The Story Teller' Fetches Record ₹ 61.8 Crore At Auction

== History ==
Under the name ''The Daily Bee'', the first issue of the newspaper was published on February 3, 1857, proudly boasting that "the object of this newspaper is not only independence, but permanence".<ref name="hist"/> At this time, ''The Bee'' was in competition with the ''[[Sacramento Union]]'', a newspaper founded in 1851.<ref name="alfano2016" /> Although ''The Bee'' soon surpassed the ''Union'' in popularity, the ''Union'' survived until its closure in 1994, leaving ''The Sacramento Bee'' to be the longest-running newspaper in the city's history.

The first editor of ''The Sacramento Bee'' was [[John Rollin Ridge]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/chronicles/v014/v014p295.html |title=Edward W. Bushyhead and John Rollin Ridge, Cherokee Editors in California |author=Carolyn Thomas Foreman |date=September 1936 |work=Chronicles of Oklahoma |publisher=Oklahoma Historical Society |access-date=October 22, 2010}}</ref> but [[James McClatchy]] took over the position by the end of the first week.

Also within a week of its creation, ''The Bee'' uncovered a state scandal which led to the impeachment of [[Know Nothing|Know-Nothing]] [[California State Treasurer]] [[Henry Bates (US politician)|Henry Bates]].<ref>Richardson, Darcy G. ''Others: Third-Party Politics from the Nation's Founding to the Rise and Fall of the Greenback-Labor Party''. iUniverse: 2004; p. 206.</ref>

In 1925 it absorbed the ''Sacramento Star'', which was founded in 1904.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn91038071/ | publisher=Library of Congress | title=About The Sacramento star. | date= | accessdate=June 25, 2023}}</ref>

=== 21st century ===
On March 13, 2006, The [[McClatchy Company]] announced its agreement to purchase [[Knight Ridder]], the United States' second-largest chain of daily newspapers. The purchase price of $4.5 billion in cash and stock gave McClatchy 32 daily newspapers in 29 markets, with a total circulation of 3.3 million.<ref>Katharine Q. Seelye and Andrew Ross Sorkin, [https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/13/business/media/13knight.html "Newspaper Chain Agrees to a Sale for $4.5 Billion"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', March 13, 2006.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/13/business/media/newspaper-chain-agrees-to-a-sale-for-45-billion.html|title=Newspaper Chain Agrees to a Sale for $4.5 Billion|first1=Katharine Q. |first2=Andrew Ross|last1=Seelye|last2=Sorkin|date=13 March 2006|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=August 5, 2018}}</ref>

On February 3, 2007, the paper celebrated its 150th anniversary, and a copy of the original issue was included in every newspaper. On February 4, 2007, a 120-page section was included about the paper's history from its founding to today. In 2008, ''The Sacramento Bee'' redesigned and changed its layout.<ref name="hist" /><ref>''Sacramento Bee'', January 1, 2008</ref>

In the fall of 2020, the ''Bee'' announced<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sorich |first=Sonya |date=September 25, 2020 |title=Sacramento Bee says it's leaving 2100 Q St. |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2020/09/25/sacramento-bee-leaving-q-street-location.html |access-date=2023-06-04 |website=Sacramento Business Journal}}</ref> it would be vacating its longtime headquarters and printing plant in [[Midtown Sacramento]] at 21st and Q Streets (which it occupied since 1952), citing the need to cut costs and streamline in the wake of declining ad revenues, the rise of online journalism and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which most journalists and employees worked from home. The paper began being printed at the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' printing plant in the Bay Area suburb of [[Fremont, California|Fremont]]. The following spring, the ''Bee'' announced<ref>{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Mark |date=April 24, 2021 |title=Sacramento Bee leases space at The Cannery business park |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2021/04/24/sacramento-bee-cannery.html |access-date=June 4, 2023 |website=Sacramento Business Journal}}</ref> the editorial offices were relocating to the Cannery, a business park about a mile east, at Stockton and Alhambra Boulevards; the business park is the redeveloped [[Libby, McNeill and Libby Cannery]], which operated from 1912 to 1982.

'''Alexi Singh Grewal''' (born September 8, 1960) is an American Olympic gold medalist and former professional [[road racing cyclist]]. At the [[Cycling at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Summer Olympics]] in Los Angeles, Grewal became the first American man to win an Olympic gold medal in road cycling.<ref name="SportsRef">{{cite web |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/gr/alexi-grewal-1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418045242/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/gr/alexi-grewal-1.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 18, 2020 |title=Alexi Grewal Olympic Results |accessdate=May 25, 2015 |work=Sports Reference}}</ref> He has two brothers, Rishi and Ranjeet, who were also top American cyclists, especially in mountain bike racing.<ref>Emily V.

==Biography==
The United States Bicycling Hall of Fame gave the following description of his Los Angeles gold medal ride: "With an estimated crowd of 300,000 lining the 190.2-kilometer route, Grewal edged Canadian Steve Bauer to claim the gold medal in the men's road race, breaking away from the field with 20 kilometers remaining and opening up a 24-second lead after 11 of 12 laps and then being caught by Bauer with 10 kilometers left, setting up a dramatic final-lap showdown. This scene, replayed many times since, is one of the most emotional Olympic victories of the Modern Games."<ref>[http://www.usbhof.com/2004-inductees/ U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame 2004 Inductees] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100519165801/http://www.usbhof.com/2004-inductees/ |date=2010-05-19 }}. Accessed 5.22.2010</ref>

After winning Olympic gold, Grewal turned professional and signed with the Panasonic team and later with the [[7-Eleven Cycling Team]]. According to teammate [[Bob Roll]], Grewal was the captain of the 1986 7-Eleven team through the spring.<ref name="roll2003">{{Cite book|last=Roll|first=Bob|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53097074|title=Bobke II|date=2003|publisher=VeloPress|isbn=978-1-931382-28-1|location=Boulder, Colo.|oclc=53097074}}</ref> Sometime later in 1986, he was dropped by the team after spitting on a CBS camera man who got too close.<ref name="nytimes1986">{{Cite news|date=1986-08-09|title=SPORTS PEOPLE; 7-Eleven Drops Grewal|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/08/09/sports/sports-people-7-eleven-drops-grewal.html|access-date=2020-06-04|issn=0362-4331|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180203110341/https://www.nytimes.com/1986/08/09/sports/sports-people-7-eleven-drops-grewal.html|archive-date=2018-02-03}}</ref> He raced for the United States-based Coors Light pro team from 1989 to 1993. He became well known in the cycling community as an extraordinarily talented, but emotionally volatile rider.

After retiring from professional cycling Grewal moved to Colorado with his family. Grewal began making hand-hewn and crafted furniture and architectural features out of native hardwoods after his cycling days were over. He lost part of his fingers in an accident involving a saw.<ref name="hansen2004">{{Cite journal|date=2004-02-16|last=Hansen|first=Matt|title=Alexi Grewal Pedal Exclusive: From Cyclist to Addict, Philosopher and Back|url=https://pedalmag.com/alexi-grewal-pedal-exclusive/|access-date=2020-06-04|journal=Pedal Magazine|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061107074259/http://pedalmag.com/index.php?module=Section&action=viewdetail&item_id=1995|archive-date=2006-11-07}}</ref> A bicycle frame manufacturer in Denver, Colorado, the Clark-Kent company, made a special road racing frame, the "AX-1", to Grewal's specifications. This steel frame featured an unusual bent seat tube with unorthodox frame angles.

In 2004, Grewal was elected to the [[United States Bicycling Hall of Fame]].

On April 3, 2008'', VeloNews'' published an essay by Grewal on his personal use (and the overall prevalence) of doping in cycling<ref name="grewal2008">{{Cite news|last=Grewal|first=Alexi|date=2008-04-03|title=An essay by 1984 Olympic gold medalist Alexi Grewal|url=https://www.velonews.com/news/an-essay-by-1984-olympic-gold-medalist-alexi-grewal/|access-date=2020-06-04|work=VeloNews}}</ref> during his career, both in his amateur and professional days.

In 2009, and again 2013, Alexi unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Loveland, Colorado.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.reporterherald.com/news/loveland-local-news/ci_24037899/alexi-grewal-3-way-race-loveland-mayor|title=Alexi Grewal in 3-way race for Loveland mayor|access-date=2018-09-26}}</ref>
