title: Theophilus Jones (Royal Navy officer)

text:
Theophilus Jones (September 1760 – 8 November 1835) was an Irish officer in the British Royal Navy. As a captain, he commanded a series of warships during the French Revolutionary Wars, and experienced two mutinies during his command of HMS Defiance in the late 1790s. He was promoted to the ranks of rear admiral in 1802, vice admiral in 1809, and full admiral in 1819.

Early life and family
Jones was the second son of Theophilus Jones (1729–1811), a member of the Irish House of Commons from 1761 to 1800, and then of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1802. Their mother Catherine Beresford (died 1763) was a daughter of the 1st Earl of Tyrone.

His older brother Walter (1754–1839) was governor of County Leitrim, and an MP for Coleraine in the latter years of the Irish Parliament, and then sat for Coleraine at Westminster for most of the period until 1809. His younger brother Reverend James Jones (died 1825) was a Church of Ireland clergyman in County Londonderry, father of Admiral Theobald Jones, and brother-in-law of Admiral Henry Blackwood.

The family traced their ancestry to Bryan Jones (died 1681), a Welshman who had been granted lands in Ireland by King James VI and I in 1622.  Bryan's grandson Theophilus Jones (1666–1742), grandfather of Admiral Theophilus Jones, was a member of the Irish House of Commons  from 1692 to 1742, for Sligo Borough and then County Leitrim.

Career

Jones was promoted to the rank of captain on 4 September 1782, and took command of the 74-gun HMS Hero, commanding her in the 1783 Battle of Cuddalore under Admiral Sir Edward Hughes.  He was one of the first British officers engaged in the French Revolutionary Wars, commanding HMS Andromache in 1793, then the 64-gun HMS Trident. In 1796, Jones took command of the 74-gun HMS Defiance.  Defiance had already seen a mutiny in 1795, which had been ended by Captain William Bligh. Bligh had taken 200 troops on board his Calcutta (formerly the  East Indiaman Warley), and bringing them alongside Defiance had been enough to end the mutiny without a boarding.

The crew mutinied again while under Jones's command, as part of the Channel mutinies in 1797. In 1798, during the Irish Rebellion, Defiance was in Portsmouth. A plot was discovered amongst Catholic crewmen, who had taken an oath to seize control of the ship and take her to Brest under a green ensign with a harp on it, killing all the officers except the captain.

Twenty-five men were court-martialled aboard HMS Gladiator in a hearing which began on 9 September under Captain Holloway. Jones conducted the prosecution, and on 13 September the court adjourned to deliberate. The following day, 14 September, all but one were found guilty. Holloway pronounced them traitors, and Judge Advocate General Greetham read the sentences. Nineteen were sentenced to death by hanging aboard a ship, though eight were recommended for mercy, to be transported for life. Two men were sentenced to 200 lashes and 12 months solitary imprisonment, two to 100 lashes and six months imprisonment, and one to 12 months imprisonment. A government order was received in Portsmouth on 26 September, setting the following day for execution of 11 men.
The hangings took place as ordered on Thursday 27 September. At 9am on board HMS St George off Spithead, seven men were (in the words of The Morning Post and Gazetter) "launched into eternity". At 11:15 am, the remaining four were hanged on board HMS Resolution, in Portsmouth harbour.
All but one of the condemned men maintained their innocence to the end, and The Observer newspaper reported that "every means was adopted to make the execution on Thursday as awful and impressive as possible".

Jones later commanded the three-deckers HMS Atlas and HMS Queen, but did not hold a command after the 1802 Treaty of Amiens temporarily ended hostilities between the French First Republic and the United Kingdom.  He was promoted to rear admiral in 1802, vice admiral in 1809, and full admiral in 1819.

He died on 8 November 1835 in Maidstone.

title: Bernardo Bonavía y Zapata

text:
Bernardo Bonavía y Zapata (1740 – December 2, 1812) was a Spanish soldier and political figure who was in a variety of political positions in  New Spain. The positions included Corregidor of a Mexican province (1789), Governor-Intendant of Durango (Appointed by the Spanish monarchy; 1796–1809), and Military Commander of Texas (1809-1812). He was also a Caballero de Alcántara. He was appointed the Governor of Texas in 1786, but he did not accept the position because he was busy in administrative roles in other places. During his political administration in New Spain, Bonavía promoted the liberalization of trade and commerce under the orders of Charles III, King of Spain.

Biography
Bernardo Bonavía y Zapata was born in Toro, in the province of Zamora (Castile and León, Spain), to Bonifacio María Bonavía, a field Marshal, and Ramona Zapata. He had one sister, called Margarita Bonavia. Following in his father's footsteps, he became a "Mariscal de Campo de los Reales Ejércitos," a field Marshal in Spain's Royal Army. In 1758, he began his political career under the King of Spain. On August 25, 1789, Bonavía was appointed Corregidor and Intendant "of a Mexican province". Later, in 1796, he was appointed by the King of Spain Governor - Intendant of Durango (in modern Mexico). He maintained that position until 1809, when he was appointed Commanding officer of Texas. Upon arrival in Texas he asked all senior officials to submit writings showing their own views about  the protection and development of Texas.

Fear of possible attacks on Texas from neighbouring Louisiana led Zapata to ask the Commanding General of the Provincias Internas (Interior Provinces) Nemesio Salcedo y Salcedo the strengthening of those Texas defence structures located between the two regions. In addition, Zapata brought together the governors of several provinces in New Spain (particularly of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Texas) to study new measures that would lead to the "development" of the province. The governor presented the  measures linked to "free trade and immigration" in Texas to Salcedo y Salcedo on June 28. He also established "liberal reforms" on the orders of Charles III of Spain in the commerce sector, mainly in Texas.

On July 20, 1809, Zapata initiated another meeting to discuss the creation of a line of communication between his province and Veracruz by following the causes of the rivers that unite both regions, in addition to establishing a port in San Bernard River that would facilitate free trade. In addition, based on the decree of May 30, 1804, he also proposed that the Presidios of Texas should be divided into regiments. However, his proposals were rejected by Salcedo. In late 1810, an armed revolt broke out in Durango demanding the independence of New Spain from Spain, and Zapata had to repress the rebels. In 1812, he took part of the War of Independence of New Spain, leading the royalist troops in Oaxaca. He fought against the rebel troops of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. However, his troops were defeated and Zapata was captured. His death is disputed: he may have been murder by the soldiers of Costilla on December 2, 1812, or he could have died much later, on 18 April 1833, with 93 years old.

title: Phelps–Jones House

text:
The Phelps–Jones House is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama.  One of the oldest buildings in Alabama, it was built in 1818, shortly after the initial federal land sale in Madison County in 1809.  Despite having many owners, the original character of the house has remained.  The two-story house is built of brick laid in Flemish bond, and has Federal and Georgian details.  The original block has a bedroom and parlor separated by a central hall, with a dining room in an ell to the northeast.  Staircases in the hall and dining room led to three bedrooms on the second floor.  In 1956, a porch in the crook of the ell was enclosed, adding a bathroom and small bedroom.  Another porch off the rear of the dining room was enclosed and converted into a kitchen.  Interior woodwork, including six mantels, is in provincial Federal style.  The façade is five bays wide, with twelve-over-twelve sash windows on the ground floor and twelve-over-eight on the second.  A narrow hipped roof porch covers the double front door; originally a wider porch covered a single door flanked by narrow sidelights and topped with a transom.  The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

title: Greg Nance

text:
Greg Nance (born September 29, 1988) is an American entrepreneur, mountaineer, ultramarathon runner, and politician. Nance is the co-founder and Board Chairman of Moneythink and the founder and former CEO of Dyad Mentorship.

At Dyad Mentorship, Nance helped students earn over $27 million in university scholarships. Nance has received numerous awards for his public service and business leadership including recognition from the Jefferson Awards for Public Service as a "Globe Changer" in 2011. Moneythink was recognized by President Obama as a "Champion of Change" in 2012. Nance was selected to attend the 2017 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. On January 19, 2017 The New York Times covered Nance's announcement of Dyad's plan to initiate a pro bono mentorship program for Syrian refugees.

Nance rose to greater prominence in 2016 following his selection as the Seattle Seahawks "12 Ambassador." Nance became the face of Delta Air Lines' Pacific Northwest marketing campaign in which his ultramarathon running and lifelong Seahawks fandom was featured in TV commercials. Nance's ultramarathon highlights include 250 km crossings of China's Gobi Desert and Chile's Atacama Desert where he was the top American finisher. He is best known for completing 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents while battling stomach flu in February 2019.

In September 2023 Nance was appointed by the Kitsap County Board of Supervisors to represent the 23rd district in the Washington House of Representatives, succeeding Drew Hansen.

Early life and education

Nance was a multi-sport athlete on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and played baseball, basketball, soccer, and football. He competed in varsity tennis and baseball before running cross country and track during his senior year of high school. Nance became a “stand out” runner, “excelling in track." Nance grew up rooting for Seattle sports teams. According to a March 2019 feature by the Seattle Seahawks, “Nance was born into a Seahawks family as his dad was a beer vendor at the Kingdome during the 1983 and ’84 seasons. His fandom started at a young age, wearing his number 12 Seahawks jersey to peewee football practice.”

Nance attended Bainbridge High School outside Seattle, where he served as class president and was the 2007 Washington State debate champion. He received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point but chose to attend the University of Chicago, after being offered a scholarship. During college, Nance worked odd jobs including splitting wood, landscaping, roofing, and painting houses.

While a junior at the University of Chicago, Nance was elected Student Government President and earned the 2010 Harry S. Truman Scholarship from Washington State. In 2011 Nance earned a Gates Scholarship to the Cambridge Judge Business School. In an interview with Cambridge University in August 2014, Nance credited the example of his parents' public service in Seattle and his grandfather's courage during the Battle of Iwo Jima as inspirations, stating that "I learned my leadership values around the dinner table."

Career

Moneythink

In October 2008, Nance, Shashin Chokshi, David Chen, Morgan Hartley and Ted Gonder established the "American Investment Fellows" club at the University of Chicago based on Nance's idea to send students from the university's investment club into local high schools to teach personal finance workshops. After a successful pilot program, the initiative was rebranded as Moneythink and began to spread to college campuses across the U.S. To date, Moneythink's 1,000 college volunteers have taught more than 33,000 high school students to make and manage money in over 30 communities.

In 2012 Moneythink was recognized by the Obama Administration as a "Champion of Change," and won the $100,000 top prize at the 2013 MassChallenge global entrepreneurship competition. In 2013, The Harvard Business Review named Moneythink a "meaningful place to work." Moneythink was represented by CEO Ted Gonder on the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability for Young Americans in 2015.

Nance currently serves as Moneythink's chairman of the board. In recognition of his work, Nance was named a "Globe Changer" at the 2011 Jefferson Awards for Public Service and received the "2019 Young Alumni Service Award" from the University of Chicago.

According to a 2019 University of Chicago profile, Nance's passion for expanding educational opportunities was sparked by volunteering as a youth mentor at high schools in Chicago's Woodlawn, South Shore, and Hyde Park neighborhoods. Reflecting on the inspiration behind his work, Nance stated that “I was only able to attend my dream schools, UChicago and Cambridge, with the help of scholarships. I'm on a mission to pay it forward.”

Dyad Mentorship

In 2012, Nance founded Dyad Mentorship (formerly ChaseFuture) while a Gates Scholar at Cambridge University. Dyad is a mentorship platform that guides students through the university admissions process with a free online library of instructional articles and videos and a digital workspace for face-to-face video-conferences and document reviews. Dyad helped students earn over $27 million in scholarships and helped over 2,000 clients from 25 countries including China, India, Egypt, Colombia, Honduras, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, France, England, and America. Dyad also advised one of China's four inaugural Rhodes Scholarship recipients in 2015. In a 2019 interview with Cambridge University, Nance explained that Dyad "aim[s] to level the playing field with free content, scholarship advising, and affordable one-on-one coaching.”

The organization raised $1 million in venture capital funding from 500 Startups, SOSV, and several angel investors. Dyad's Advisory Board includes the former CEO of McDonald's, former Secretary of the U.S. Air Force, former President of the Association of American Rhodes Scholars, and a National Program Chairman for 7 U.S. Presidents. The organization has been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, University World News, and The World Economic Forum Agenda. Dyad was honored as "People's Choice for Asia's Best Startup" at the 2015 Echelon Summit.

The New York Times and South China Morning Post both quoted Nance in their news coverage of the historic Baidu and CloudFlare global Internet joint venture launch on September 13, 2015.

Ultramarathon Running

Origins

Nance began running as a senior in high school and completed his first marathon in college, qualifying for the 2011 and 2012 Boston Marathon. Nance ran his first ultramarathon, a 50 km on the UK's Jurassic Coast, in December 2011 and finished 10th place. He has since completed numerous international ultramarathons, including in Chile, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the UK.

Nance finished a 250 km ultramarathon across the Gobi Desert in June 2014. Nance's Gobi crossing was profiled by Adventure World Magazine where he credited the encouragement of fellow runners and the medical team's professionalism for enabling him to finish the 250 km footrace despite injuring his knee halfway. He published an essay on his experience running across the Gobi Desert and wrote that "we aim to find our limits and push past them."

Nance, along with his father Mike Nance, completed the six-stage 250 km Atacama Crossing in October 2018. In a post-race interview, Nance stated “We battled towering sand dunes, treacherous salt flats and river crossings, 10,000-plus-foot elevation, and scorching 116 [degree] heat.” Mike Nance was the second-oldest finisher and Greg Nance was the top American finisher in the field.

Nance is sponsored by Brooks Running, Clif Bar, Delta Air Lines, and Wentworth. In 2017 Nance began publishing instructional articles on ultramarathon training and recovery for Brooks Running.

World Marathon Challenge

In February 2019 Nance completed the World Marathon Challenge where he ran seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. Beginning with a marathon in Novo, Antarctica, Nance then ran consecutive marathons in Cape Town, South Africa; Perth, Australia; Dubai, UAE; Madrid, Spain; Santiago, Chile; and Miami, USA. In addition to running the 183.4 miles (295 km), Nance and fellow competitors also traveled over 23,000 miles in the air to reach each start line. Only 104 people had ever completed the challenge.

According to a March 2019 profile by the Seattle Seahawks, “Nance fought many physical battles including a stomach bug, nausea, dehydration, sleep deprivation and quad cramps throughout the week.” In an interview with Cambridge University, Nance said “I was laid low by a stomach bug… I left absolutely everything on the course while running that race."

In a post-race interview with the Seattle Seahawks, Nance stated “I believe the only limits that matter are those we place upon ourselves. Tackling big challenges teaches us that obstacles are opportunities to become a stronger version of ourselves.”

Adventure

Nance has summited peaks in numerous mountain ranges, including the Alps, Pyrenees, Scottish Highlands, Rockies, Tetons, Cascades, Olympics, and Tibetan Highlands. In September 2013, Sue Shellenbarger of the Wall Street Journal noted Nance's "avid interest in mountain climbing." During a January 2017 profile, Josh Kerns of KIRO Radio described Nance as a "world-class mountaineer." In an interview with Cambridge University in August 2014, Nance compared mountaineering to business: "You absolutely cannot get to the top of that mountain unless you’re putting one foot in front of the other, over and over again. The same is broadly true in entrepreneurship."

Nance grew up on the shores of Washington's Puget Sound and has been an open water swimmer since boyhood. He has crossed some of the world's major rivers including the Nile (Egypt), Thames (UK), Seine (France), Douro (Portugal), Huangpu (China), Moskva (Russia), and Jordan (Israel). He has also swum the Persian Gulf, Aegean, Andaman, Marmara, Mediterranean, and East and South China seas.

Previously, Nance boxed welterweight for the varsity team at Cambridge University and won his debut as a British amateur in 2012. The Cambridge student newspaper credited "Nance's wise use of his height advantage" along with "arrow straight punches" and "stamina" for his victory.

title: RMMV Survivor R

text:
The RMMV Survivor R (presented SURVIVOR R by the company) is a medium-weight armoured-wheeled vehicle developed jointly as the result of a strategic co-operation between Germany’s Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) and Austria’s Achleitner. Survivor R was publicly displayed for the first time at Eurosatory 2014. The first sale of Survivor R was announced in March 2017.

Development
The co-operation between RMMV and Achleitner is intended to combine the flexibility and innovative strength of a mid-size vehicle manufacturer with the global reputation, market presence and corporate resources of a leading European defense multinational corporation. Survivor R, which adds a 15-tonne GVW class protected wheeled vehicle to RMMV's portfolio of multirole vehicles, is the initial result of this co-operation.

When shown for the first time at Eurosatory 2014, Survivor R was configured for the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear role. Survivor R was then shown at IDEX 2015 held in Abu Dhabi 22–26 February. This was the first time the vehicle had been shown in the Middle East, and the first time it had been shown in command and control configuration. Survivor R has since been shown in ambulance configuration (DSEi 2015) and Police/law enforcement configuration (Eurosatory 2016).

During June 2016 the UK Ministry of Defence confirmed that the five international companies had been shortlisted to compete for the final stages of the Package 2 element of the Multi Role Vehicle-Protected (MRV-P) program. According to a report in Defense News, Survivor R was one of the five downselected for this requirement which would initially require 150 troop carrying vehicles and 80 ambulances but incremental orders would take eventually the numbers up to 300 of each. In February 2017 it was disclosed that RMMV had withdrawn from the competition.

The first sale of Survivor R was announced in March 2017, this to the Free State of Saxony, Germany. The first vehicle was delivered on 15 December, with the second scheduled for delivery prior to Christmas.

The second sale of Survivor R was announced in November 2017. The Berlin Police have ordered a vehicle tailored to the requirements of the Operations Directorate. The vehicle was delivered in July 2018 and the order was stated to be worth a six-figure euro amount.

On November 21, 2017, the Survivor Special Operations Vehicle concept was unveiled to the public at Milipol 2017.

RMMV was created in 2010 as a joint company between Rheinmetall AG and then-named MAN Nutzfahrzuege AG. RMMV inherited the expertise in protection and systems integration of Rheinmetall, and complementing this has access to Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components from the volume truck production of the now MAN Truck & Bus AG.

Description
To minimise both initial procurement and through life costs, Survivor R is based on a militarised MAN TGM 18-tonne gross vehicle weight (GVW) commercial truck chassis and automotives.

Survivor R uses only series-produced COTS components, with the bulk of the militarisation required integrated into the TGM production line at MAN’s truck plant in Steyr, Austria. Through-life support will be based on the worldwide service, support and manufacturing networks of Rheinmetall and MAN, this ensuring the Survivor R can offer users supportability, high levels of operational availability and genuine service longevity.

Survivor R is powered by a high-sulphur fuel tolerant MAN 6.9-litre, 6-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, this rated at EURO 3 or EURO 6 emissions compliance and (at EURO 6) developing 340 hp and 1,250 Nm torque. A MAN 12 AS 1210 Tipmatic 12-speed automated gearbox and MAN G 103 2-speed transfer box are fitted. The MAN front axle is rated at 7.1-tonnes, the rear at 11.5-tonnes. Suspension is by parabolic leaf springs, shock-absorbers and anti-roll bars. Standard tyres are 365/85 R 20 Michelin XZL fitted with Hutchinson run flat inserts

Survivor R’s armoured steel monocoque cabin provides undisclosed STANAG-compliant levels of protection and one of the highest internal volumes in its class. With an unladen weight of 10.9-tonnes and up to 4.1-tonnes of military payload the Survivor R offers a respectable payload-to-weight ratio. This combination of protection, workspace and payload makes Survivor R well suited to requirements involving complex systems integrations.

Survivor R is air transportable by C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.

Optional equipment includes a central tyre inflation system, a fully automatic gearbox, a 10-tonne hydraulic self-recovery winch and a dozer blade.

RMMV lists numerous potential roles and applications as suited to the Survivor R, these including an internal security and/or law enforcement vehicle, riot control, trauma management/ambulance, a command and control vehicle, and logistics version with a rear cargo body.

Displayed variants
The primary mission of the CBRN reconnaissance variant will be to detect, identify, mark, sample and report chemical, biological and radiological contamination and provide forecast information to units deployed in the area of operations.

The CBRN Survivor R is equipped with fully automated detectors for nuclear radiation as well as sensors for identifying chemical warfare agents and other hazardous materials. These include a remote standoff sensor for detecting distant clouds of chemical agents, providing immediate analysis and warning. Moreover, the CBRN Survivor R can operate on the move.

In addition to its inherent identification capabilities the system can collect samples from soil, water, and ground for later reference analysis. It allows real-time transmission of all relevant CBRN information up the chain of command as well as immediate marking of contaminated areas to enhance the survivability and mobility of ground forces.

As shown at Eurosatory, the Survivor R CBRN variant was equipped with a comprehensive suite of CBRN detection equipment including an OWR sampling system, a Bruker MM mass spectrometer and a RMMV NBC Inspector.

When shown at IDEX 2015 the Survivor R command and control variant was displayed fitted with a battle management system, roof-mounted Kongsberg Nordic remote weapon station armed with a .50 machine gun, and banks of Rheinmetall, ROSY grenade launchers. This latest version of the Survivor R features twin doors at the rear, which allows it to be used for other roles, such as specialised ambulance, for which the vehicle could be fitted with equipment to assist in rapidly loading stretcher patients into the vehicle.

At DESI 2015, RMMV displayed Survivor R in a field ambulance configuration. In the configuration shown, the vehicle is able to transport two casualties on stretchers or three seated casualties plus one stretcher accompanied by two medical attendants. The medical equipment is comparable to a civilian paramedic ambulance. It contains advanced procedure equipment, heart monitors, medications and other supplies necessary to provide lifesaving tactical combat casualty care.

At Eurosatory 2016, RMMV displayed Survivor R in a Police/law enforcement configuration.

When marketed by Achleitner the slightly revised design is known as PMV Survivor II. The easiest way to differentiate the Survivor R from the PMV Survivor II is the differing bonnet style.

title: Kent Island Research Facility

text:
The Kent Island Research Facility is a U.S. National Security Agency facility located on Kent Island, Maryland, near the town of Chester.

The facility was established in 1961 to conduct research on very high frequency and microwave antenna systems—specifically, on problems associated with anomalous propagation in communications interception. According to James Bamford in 1983, the location consists of the NSA Propagation Research Laboratory, a single-story, white, windowless building that houses automatically operating, unattended equipment, as well as a small, white cinder-block "control" building surrounded in a barbed-wire fence. Near the control building are a number of unusual antennas.

In 2016, the United States government shuttered various Russian diplomat vacation facilities, including one that, according to Australian security expert Des Ball, was well positioned to spy on the NSA’s "Propagation and Research Laboratory" on Kent Island.

title: Richard von Stutterheim

text:
Baron Richard Carl Gustav Ludwig Wilhelm Julius von Stutterheim (10 August 1815 in Helmstedt – 9 November 1871 in Wiesbaden) was a Prussian – later also British – officer and commander of the British-German Legion.

Von Stutterheim had received military education from the Prussian Cadet School in Cologne, but his political views guided him towards liberal causes. Between 1835 and 1838, he served with the British Legion in the Carlist War, and in 1848–1851 he supported the failed uprising of Schleswig-Holstein against Denmark in the First Schleswig War.

He was given a commission to raise German troops for the Mexican President Santa Anna. After Santa Anna was deposed in August 1854, the Baron offered his services to Britain.

He became the commander of the military men who were called to settle the East London region by Sir George Grey, Governor of the Cape Colony, in 1857. The town of Stutterheim in South Africa is named after him.

title: Robert S. Neuman

text:
Robert Sterling Neuman (9 September 192620 June 2015) was an American abstract painter, printmaker, and an art teacher.

Biography

Early life

Neuman was born and raised in the small mining town of Kellogg, Idaho, as the only child of Katherine Samuelson and Oscar Neuman. He is of Swedish and German-American descent. Neuman's passion for the arts blossomed early in his childhood. He would often "borrow" drafting and painting materials from his parents' small hardware store to paint the nearby scenic Western vistas. While attending the local high school, Neuman was permitted to take the school's only art course three times at the insistence of his mother.

Education and Career

In 1944, Neuman graduated from high school and briefly enrolled in the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, to study graphic design. In 1945, he was drafted into the army where he served in the Army Air Corps until the end of World War II.

After Neuman was honorably discharged from the army in 1946, he relocated to Oakland, California to attend the California College of Arts and Crafts under the GI Bill. The same year he married fellow Idaho native and longtime girlfriend Patricia Fedderson.

His first encounters with California's vibrant art scene were eye opening. He would later recall that "…coming from the state of Idaho to San Francisco and… seeing Clyfford Still for the first time [and] Diebenkorn, all hanging there, was quite a shock. Here I'd been painting views of Coeur d'Alene Lake with the mountains!".

In the early 1950s Neuman received his BFA in Applied Art and his Master of Fine Arts at the California College of Arts and Crafts alongside classmates Nathan Oliveira and Peter Voulkos. He also studied painting with American abstract artist James Budd Dixon at the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA, now the San Francisco Art Institute) and with German Expressionist Max Beckmann at Mills College. In 1952, Neuman was awarded the prestigious Bender Grant for his artistic contributions.

After completing his graduate studies, Neuman held faculty appointments at the California School of Fine Arts and the California College of Arts and Crafts. During this time, he also exhibited in juried shows alongside fellow Abstract Expressionists Morris Graves, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning and Sam Francis. In 1953, Neuman was awarded the Fulbright Fellowship and traveled with his wife to Stuttgart, Germany as one of the first artists to visit the country since the end of WWII. In Stuggart, Neuman studied under the German Expressionist painter Willi Baumeister and began his first major series of paintings, the Black Paintings. After he returned to the United States in 1954, Neuman and his wife relocated to the East Coast of the United States where he briefly taught at the New Paltz State Teachers College (now SUNY New Paltz) with colleagues that included Jules Olitski.

In 1956, Neuman was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and traveled to Barcelona, Spain. When asked why he chose to travel to Barcelona he said, "In Barcelona were Miró, Picasso, Julio Gonzales, Gaudi... there must be something in Barcelona!" While in Spain, Neuman worked alongside Antoni Tàpies, Joan-Josep Tharrats and Albert Ràfols-Casamada. He reunited with Alberto Burri, whom he had met while traveling in Europe under the Fulbright Fellowship. Burri helped Neuman launch his own show at the Galleria del Cavallino in Venice. This exhibition earned praise from art collector and socialite Peggy Guggenheim. The gallery's owner later offered Neuman a contract to return to Italy, though he declined to avoid uprooting his family.

When Neuman returned to the United States he embarked upon a distinguished teaching career. He taught successively at the Massachusetts College of Art, Brown University in Providence, and for seven years at Harvard University's Carpenter Center, Neuman also chaired the art department at Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire from 1972 until his retirement in 1990, when he was awarded Professor Emeritus.

During this time, Neuman became closely associated with numerous east coast galleries. In 1959, he had major exhibitions in Washington, D.C. at the Gres Gallery and in Purchase, New York, at a private showing sponsored by Allan Stone. He was also associated with Arnold Glimcher's Pace Gallery, where his sold-out show in 1960, as well as his Grand Prize in the 1961 Boston Arts Festival, were important landmarks in his career. During the sixties and seventies, Neuman exhibited his work at the Ward-Nasse Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts, at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lexington, Massachusetts, and at the Allan Stone Gallery in New York.

Throughout these years, Neuman's Brookline studio was next door to that of his friend and fellow artist Albert Alcalay, who also taught at the Carpenter Center. Beginning in the summer of 1960, Neuman and his family began to summer in Maine. In the mid-sixties, Allan Stone, friend and art dealer, traded paintings with Neuman for a home on Mount Desert Island where Neuman established himself as a central figure in the island's vibrant art scene. Over the course of the next six decades, his paintings were featured in dozens of group and solo exhibitions in nearly every major city on the East Coast, as well as numerous cities abroad. Neuman received critical notices from the likes of Dorothy Adlow, Robert Taylor, John Goodrich, Ken Johnson and Thomas Messer

Personal life

Neuman's first marriage was to Patricia Fedderson in 1947. The couple had two daughters, Elizabeth (b. 1955) and Ingrid (b. 1958), and divorced in the mid-1960s. In 1977, Neuman met gallery director, Mary Susan “Sunne” Savage, and in 1979 they married and welcomed their only child, Christina.

Artistic contribution

Neuman's career as an artist spanned over sixty years, with a resulting body of work that "defies traditional expectations of what an artist's canon should look like". As an artist, he took "a staunchly individualistic approach to his work by never giving in to fads, the demands of the commercial sector or bowing before the critics". Instead, his body of work is characterized by extended series of paintings that explore a particular motif or symbol and are heavily influenced by events in the artist's own life, in addition to global culture and history.

Style

At the beginning of his artistic career, Neuman's work followed in the vein of traditional Abstract Expressionism. Later on, although Neuman continued to use abstract forms in his work and to define himself as an Expressionist, he focused more on the use of symbols in his work. His unique approach to abstract painting prompted former Boston Globe art critic Robert Taylor, to refer to Neuman's works as "emblematic abstraction”.

Neuman's style is additionally distinguished by his uncompromisingly bold color palette that is reminiscent of Klee, Miró, Seurat, Kandinsky and early 20th century German Expressionists. These bold washes of color are often juxtaposed with graphical, geometric forms influenced by his love of drawing. Neuman frequently incorporates pencil into his works "to define the edges of otherwise illimitable suffusions of color". Another important technique that Neuman incorporates is the inclusion of stamping and taping off areas to define planes of space. As his career progressed, such use of mixed media techniques and collage became more common.

Series

Neuman has worked on 16 series of paintings, including his earliest and most recent works, each representing a response to a different symbol, place or idea in a distinct visual language. His earliest works reflect post-war America and are filled with ominous and dark titles and color palettes. Neuman explored this theme by experimenting with different medium, such as duco paint and sand on masonite and a new, abstracted subject matter.
Neuman's first major series was The Black Paintings. This series was catalyzed by his experience studying in a still war- ravaged Germany as a Fulbright Fellow in 1953 under the tutelage of German Expressionist, Willi Baumeister. The Black Paintings’ uncharacteristically dark color palette was influenced by "the reactionary impulses to World War II that had rippled through the art world". Today, The Black Paintings serve as a glimpse into the lingering desolation of Germany in the 1950s by one of the few American artists to witness it first-hand.

After The Black Paintings, Neuman began exploring the expressive nature of color. This dramatic shift was influenced by his time studying in Barcelona as a Guggenheim Fellow. His Barcelona Series, begun in 1956, is defined by his attempts to create a universally relevant style of art, which, in this case, captured his impressions of the motion and light of the narrow streets of Old Barcelona.
With the advent of the 1960s, Neuman explored the potential of abstraction more fervently than ever. During this decade, he created his Abstract Landscape, Abstract Figures and his Diamond Canvas Series before experimenting further with the use of symbols.

His next series, Pedazos Del Mundo, begun in 1961, is the first of Neuman's series to prominently utilize symbolism as a means of expression and has become his most celebrated body of work. When speaking of the series, Neuman has remarked, "The world is in pieces culturally: liquids, solids, gases, languages, every way you can think about it... so I painted a circle and I made it in pieces”. Pedazos exhibits "the full bloom of the graphical flair and unfailing liveliness that distinguishes Neuman’s style for the next half century".
Neuman continued to use the symbol of the circle in Space Signs, begun in 1966, by using tin cans, beer bottles, lamp shades and other round objects "to stamp out resplendent orbs of color over pulsating geometric landscapes". Stacks and Piles, begun in 1975, saw Neuman's return to earth. When creating this series he was influenced by cairns, a man-made pile of stones traditionally found on hiking trails. Neuman translated the cairns into heaps of shapes, piled skyward on canvases that reached upwards of eight feet high.

In 1977, August Heckscher, a friend, print maker and commissioner of New York City public parks, commissioned a series of etchings from Neuman to accompany an edition of Sebastian Brandt's Shyp of Fools. The series is composed of richly evocative mixed media drawings, lithographs, etchings and printing plates that depict meticulously rendered medieval barques and their crews on ill-fated voyages to Paradise. "Each work mirrors— with irony, optimism and a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor— Brandt's own commentaries on the follies and foibles of man".
In 1979, Neuman returned to Spain on a wedding trip with his wife, Sunne Savage, and visited the Alhambra palace. The Alhambra series "evokes the atmosphere of the exotic landmark and translates the ethereal rays of light that ripple through its halls into cascades of color".

In 1980, Neuman began the Lame Deer Series.  Lame Deer was inspired by a visit to a Native American reservation close to the Battle of Little Big Horn in Lame Deer, Montana. Visiting the historic site spurred Neuman to visually relate the Western American landscape in a way he felt had not been done before. History is hidden in each vividly chromatic landscape where the most prominent symbol is the teepee— each has the skin stripped away, and resembles "…drawings on a cave wall, remnants of a people continually in flight.” Ultimately, the Lame Deer series was meant to bring attention to the plight of the Native Americans.
As the 1980s progressed, Neuman explored new avenues of visual expression. His Rose Paintings, begun in 1982, are monochromatic, sumptuous and textural landscapes, using the applied technique of tachisme.  Meanwhile, the Voyage Series, begun in 1986, saw Neuman exploring the symbolism of knots, often seen in Celtic, Viking and Moorish art, as a metaphor for travelling through life.
Neuman's new works, created during the 1990s to present day, are a visual melting pot of many of his earlier series including Alhambra, Barcelona and Rose Paintings. The gestural compositions and broad flat panes of color look back to his earliest days as an Abstract Expressionist. Each work is still distinct from what has come before and begins to define what will come next.

Collections

Robert Neuman's art can be found in the collections of dozens of major museums in America and in private and corporate collections in America and abroad. His work has an exceptionally strong presence in the collection of Allan Stone Projects, a private gallery with an expansive and eclectic collection of Post-War American art.

Publications

Neuman's work has been featured in several publications celebrating the artist's own work and achievement in American painting. Such publications include: Selection by Thomas Messer (1958), View by Thomas M. Messer (1960), Adventures in Art: Forty Years at Pace published by Pace Gallery & Mildred Glimcher (2001), Robert S. Neuman: Fifty Years by the Allan Stone Gallery (2006), Robert S. Neuman: Selected Works 1954-2007 published by Wheaton College & Sunne Savage Gallery (2007), Evolution of a Shared Vision: The David and Barbara Stahl Collection published by the Currier Museum of Art (2009), and Robert S. Neuman's Ship to Paradise, published by Bates College and the Heckscher Museum of Art (2012). To coincide with the landmark retrospective of the same name, in 2018 Keene State College published the catalogue Robert S. Neuman: Impulse and Discipline.

In 1990, Neuman was interviewed by the Smithsonian Institution to record his invaluable insights into the previous half century of American art for posterity. The interview exists as public record in the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

Exhibitions

Since becoming active in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1950s, Neuman's works have been exhibited in countless major museums and galleries at home and abroad. His first group exhibitions were in 1950 and 1951 at Henry Gallery in Seattle, Washington, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Denver Art Museum. Neuman also showed at the Landau Gallery in 1953 with James Budd Dixon and Dale Joe, among others. Neuman's first solo exhibition was at the famous Gump's Gallery in San Francisco, California in 1952.

In recent years, Robert Neuman has also been the subject of many retrospective exhibitions, including those at Wheaton College (2007), Keene State College (2012 and 2017), The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho (2013), Prichard Art Gallery, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho (2013) Martin-Mullen Art Gallery, SUNY Oneonta, New York (2013), Childs Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts (2014 and 2017) and Star Gallery, Northeast Harbor, Maine (2018).

Neuman is represented by Childs Gallery (Boston, Massachusetts), Elisabeth Moss Galleries (Falmouth, Maine), Lawrence Fine Art (East Hampton, New York), Star Gallery (Northeast Harbor, Maine) and Sunne Savage Gallery (Winchester, Massachusetts).

Amedeo di Saluzzo (1361 – 28 June 1419) was a cardinal during the Western Schism. He was born as the second son of Frederick II, Marquess of Saluzzo and Beatrice of Geneva. He was nephew of Avignon Pope Clement VII on his mother's side. Saluzzo was appointed as Bishop of Valence and Die at 4 November 1383. In less than two months he was elevated as a cardinal-nephew by Clement VII, becoming Cardinal-Deacon of Santa Maria Nuova. In 1403 he was appointed as Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals. He abandoned Antipope Benedict XIII after having been deposed by him on 21 October 1408. Then Saluzzo participated in the Council of Pisa, which elected Alexander V as pope. He also campaigned for the Council of Constance, and there, he attended the conclave of Pope Martin V. After the end of the Western Schism, Saluzzo kept his position as Camerlengo until his death in 1419.

Henein was the subject of a 2020 report by Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog group, documenting her website's medical misinformation, such as the false claim that vaccines cause autism. Henein was one of several individuals who subsequently received written warnings from the US Food and Drug Administration over the advertisement of chelated silver, vitamin C, and magnesium for preventative use against COVID-19. Henein maintained she did not commit any fault, and amended her website in accordance with the FDA's requirements.

title: Helen Valentine

text:
Helen Valentine (1893–1986) was the founder and editor in chief of Seventeen and Charm magazines.

Early life and education
Born Helen Rose Lachman in Manhattan, she was the only child of German Jewish immigrants. Her father Gustave was an accountant and her mother Bertha (née Kahn) was a homemaker. Although she attended temple with her mother and went to Jewish Sunday school, her family also celebrated Christmas. She graduated from the Ethical Culture School and Barnard College.

Career

After school, she worked in the magazine industry. Beginning as a part-time copy writer for Lord & Thomas, Valentine was among the first fired from the advertising firm when the Great Depression began.

In 1944, while serving as promotion director for Mademoiselle magazine at Walter Annenberg's Triangle Publications, she was asked by Annenberg to help revive a movie magazine. Although the concept of "teenager" as a distinct demographic segment of the population was a relatively new idea at that time, Valentine proposed a magazine for teen-age girls. Noticing the wide popularity of a King Features Syndicate comic strip by cartoonist Hilda Terry that focused on the trials and tribulations of a typical teenager's life entitled Teena which began running in July 1944, Valentine convinced Annenberg that teenage girls needed a magazine of their own. Valentine believed that teenage girls were an underserved demographic and had the potential to become an important and lucrative new consumer market segment. She stated that "it was time to treat children as adults." The magazine was launched in September 1944 and within eighteen months, Seventeen had a circulation of a million. Seventeen is credited with creating a teen market for clothing manufacturers and other industries.

From 1948-1949, Valentine served as president of Fashion Group International, an organization created in the 1930s by a group of business women working in fashion.

In 1950, she accepted a job with Street & Smith to revamp a fading women's magazine called Charm which she re-configured into the country's first fashion magazine for working women. Valentine focused on another demographic she believed was not represented by current magazines: married women who work. Charm was eventually merged into Glamour magazine after being bought by Conde Nast Publications.

One of Valentine's talks, "How to Keep More of the Money You Earn" was published in the second session of the 83rd Congress (1954). because of Henry M. Jackson, a senator from Washington State. This talk contributed to legislation that would grant tax relief to married women who work.

In 1958, Valentine was hired by Good Housekeeping magazine to write a column, Young Wife's World, where she remained until she retired in 1963.

Personal life
Valentine was married to banker Herbert Valentine (died 1978). She had two children: Barbara Valentine Hertz and Barry Valentine. Her granddaughter, Valentine Hertz Kass was one of the first women producer/directors at KQED in San Francisco, the first director of the Navy Pier IMAX Theater, and the founding director of the American Children's Television Festival. Her great-grandson, Sam Kass, served as Barack Obama's Senior Policy Advisor For Nutrition Policy. Valentine died in 1986 in Miami at her daughter's home.

title: Roberta Kaplan

text:
Roberta Ann Kaplan (born 1966), also known as Robbie Kaplan, is an American lawyer focusing on commercial litigation and public interest matters. Kaplan successfully argued before the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of LGBT rights activist Edith Windsor, in United States v. Windsor, a landmark decision that invalidated a section of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act and required the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages. She was a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison before starting her own firm in 2017. In 2018, she co-founded the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund.

Early life and education
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Roberta Kaplan grew up in a Jewish household. She graduated from Hawken School in Gates Mills, Ohio, in 1984. LGBT scholar and activist Aaron Belkin was Kaplan's high school friend and prom date. She earned an B.A. in Russian history and literature from Harvard University in 1988. While in college she spent a semester abroad in Moscow and "discovered a passion for political activism when she became active in the movement to free Soviet Jewry". She received her J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1991.

Career
Kaplan served as a law clerk for Mark L. Wolf of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.  While clerking for Judith Kaye, of the New York Court of Appeals, she assisted Kaye with a number of academic articles. Kaplan's scholarly articles include "Proof versus Prejudice" (2013).

Kaplan joined Paul Weiss in 1996 and was made partner in 1999. She has served on the board and as chair of the board of the Gay Men's Health Crisis, which created the Roberta Kaplan Legal Center to provide free legal services.

In July 2017, Kaplan founded Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, a law firm dedicated to commercial litigation and public interest matters.

United States v. Windsor

In 2009, Kaplan agreed to represent Edith Windsor pro bono. Windsor's wife, Thea Spyer, had died two years after they wed in Canada, leaving Windsor her sole heir. Because their marriage was not recognized under existing U. S. federal law, Windsor received an estate tax bill of $363,053.  Windsor went to gay rights advocates seeking redress, but could find no one to take her case.  She was referred to Kaplan, who later recalled, "When I heard her story, it took me about five seconds, maybe less, to agree to represent her." Kaplan had been co-counsel on the unsuccessful bid for marriage equality in New York state in 2006.

On June 26, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5–4 decision declaring Section 3 of DOMA to be unconstitutional. Subsequent to Windsor, the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) struck down all remaining state and federal laws against same-sex marriage across the United States.  Kaplan wrote about United States v. Windsor in the book Then Comes Marriage.

Sines v. Kessler

In 2017, Kaplan and co-counsel Karen Dunn filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of students, clergy members and local residents against 15 individual defendants and associated groups for damages following alleged injuries sustained at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The lawsuit is based on the Ku Klux Klan Act and according to The New York Times, the defendants are "an array of neo-Nazis, white identitarians and old-line pro-Confederates."

Time's Up

In 2018, Kaplan co-founded the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund with Tina Tchen. The fund has raised more than $24 million to provide legal defense for sexual violence victims, especially those who experienced misconduct in the workplace and led 780 attorneys and 50 cases under way. In 2019, Kaplan and Tchen later co-founded HABIT, an anti-sexual harassment advisory.

On August 9, 2021, Kaplan resigned from her role as chairwoman of Time's Up, after she was named in the report released on August 3, 2021, by New York Attorney General Letitia James that followed the investigation of sexual harassment allegations against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and after an open letter from a group of former Time's Up staffers and clients to the board of Time's Up was published. The report alleged Kaplan was involved in an effort to discredit a woman who had accused Cuomo of sexual harassment.

E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit

Kaplan represents writer E. Jean Carroll, who filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump on November 4, 2019. According to The Washington Post, Kaplan claimed "she intends to prove that Trump acted with 'malice,' meaning that he knew his statements were false or showed reckless disregard for the truth."

The lawsuit was moved from state to federal court when the US Department of Justice moved to take over Trump's defense (a motion that was denied in October 2020). Kaplan said she welcomed pursuing the lawsuit in federal court.
Although the Department of Justice appealed that decision, Kaplan told reporters, "we are confident that the Second Circuit will affirm the District Court’s comprehensive and well-reasoned opinion."

Kaplan represented Carroll in her civil trial E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald J. Trump, that began on April 25, 2023, in federal court at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The jury found in favor of Carroll on May 9, 2023, and awarded her damages of $5 million after finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation.

Mary Trump v. Donald Trump et al.
On September 24, 2020, Kaplan and her firm filed a lawsuit with the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, on behalf of plaintiff Mary L. Trump, accusing President Donald J. Trump and his siblings, Maryanne Trump Barry and Robert Trump, of decades of financial fraud and civil conspiracy.

title: Dead Neanderthals

text:
Dead Neanderthals is a Dutch free-jazz band that also incorporates metal and grindcore. They have released several albums, many of which were based on improvisation.

History
Dead Neanderthals is composed of two members, Otto Kokke on saxophone and synthesizer and René Aquarius on drums. After first collaborating online, they began improvising live, and have released several albums. The Quietus described their 2012 album Jazzhammer/Stormannsgalskap as a mighty "pounding headache of rampaging blastbeats, distorted foghorn drones and radioactive seagull squalls." Their fourth album, Polaris, was in contrast completely acoustic.

Style
According to The Quietus, "Whether forcing the twitching viscera of free jazz through a grindcore blender, slicing the eyeball of European improvisation with a metal blade, or eviscerating the whole lot in a maelstrom of noise, the sax-drums duo of Otto Kokke and Rene Aquarius pay little heed to the boundaries of genre.

title: Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990

text:
Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990 was established to acknowledge the evolving apprehension of fire safety criteria for the hospitality industry. The United States federal statute was an amendment to the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 implementing an adjunct promoting fire and life safety decrees for domiciles providing public accommodations.
