Richard Myers (or Richard L. Myers) is an American experimental filmmaker based in northeast Ohio. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (1959) and a Master of Arts degree (1961), both from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Myers taught at Kent State University in the art department beginning in 1964 and is particularly known for his 1970 film Confrontation at Kent State, which he filmed in Kent during the week following the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970; it is an important document of the period. Myers began to produce independent films in the early 1960s. Many of his films are highly personal, with non-narrative or loose narrative structures derived from his dreams. Although some films (as, for example, his 1993 film Tarp) feature no actors at all, instead focusing entirely on inanimate objects, most films feature nonprofessional actors and are produced on very small budgets. Myers is the recipient of two (due to a name spelling error) Guggenheim Fellowships as well as grants from the American Film Institute and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Academy Film Archive preserved several of Richard Myers' films, including Akran, The Path, and Allison Beth Krause.

According to Marie Claire magazine, “Myers' recreation of Edward's life is sensitively handled – an exploration of a troubled, articulate man who was shy and withdrawn.” Time Out writes that “Richard is not a provocation, nor does it claim to solve the Richey mystery.

Richard: A Novel

Metro claims that “for all the objective merits of Myers’ writing, it's hard not to find Richard: A Novel rather repulsive. Fictional stories about real people are not new but taking so much artistic licence with a man only legally presumed dead in 2008 is distasteful.” Terry Staunton of Record Collector writes that "There's an element of macabre tabloid sleaze to [Myers'] conjecture, and some awkward amateur psychoanalysis attempting to identify the demons that led to Richey going AWOL. Equally contentious are the flashback sequences, differentiated here by itallics, charting Edwards’ rise and fall, which clearly take liberties with the subject's innermost thoughts...Nicky Wire has already

Reviewing Richard, Paul Owen of The Guardian writes that “It seems a cheap criticism to say that a former music journalist falls back too frequently on the style of the indie press, but unfortunately that is the case here...Banality and lack of imagination mar the text...Myers deploys frequent paragraph breaks and short, solemn sentences in an attempt to imbue the text with gravitas, a device overused to the point of self-parody.

He understands the reactionary nature of the post-punk diktat, the people it attracts and its importance to lives given up to it." The review also descrives Richard as an "excellent book," and in its "most arresting of sections, Myers draws on all his journalistic skill and fan-boy credentials to give a realistic account of Edward's final days...Myers deserves credit not only for adding a third dimension to Edwards, but for trying

The trouble is that the real Richey wrote about these things far more memorably and distinctively himself, most notably on his final album with the Manics, The Holy Bible...Set against this existing body of work, the task Myers has set himself seems somewhat pointless...it is hard to escape the feeling that this is less a novel than a music biography written in the first and second person.” When issued as a mass market paperback in October 2011 Richard received

Lugt's marriage in 1910 to Jacoba Klever (1888–1969), a woman of independent means, meant that he could pursue his interests without financial concerns. By 1911 he had become a partner of the firm, a position he held until 1915. One of his tasks at the auction house was the compilation of auctioneers' sale catalogues.

Upon the death of his father-in-law in 1931, his wife inherited a sizeable fortune, which enabled the couple to expand their collecting interests.

Food choice

Food choice

Research into food choice investigates how people select the food they eat. An interdisciplinary topic, food choice comprises psychological and sociological aspects (including food politics and phenomena such as vegetarianism or religious dietary laws), economic issues (for instance, how food prices or marketing campaigns influence choice) and sensory aspects (such as the study of the organoleptic qualities of food).

Factors that guide food choice include taste preference, sensory attributes, cost, availability, convenience, cognitive restraint, and cultural familiarity. In addition, environmental cues and increased portion sizes play a role in the choice and amount of foods consumed.

Food choice is the subject of research in nutrition, food science, food psychology, anthropology, sociology, and other branches of the natural and social sciences. It is of practical interest to the food industry and especially its marketing endeavors. Social scientists have developed different conceptual frameworks of food choice behavior. Theoretical models of behavior incorporate both individual and environmental factors affecting the formation or modification of behaviors. Social cognitive theory examines the interaction of environmental, personal, and behavioral factors.

The work depicts Rose-Adélaïde Ducreux, who was often the subject of her artistic works.

Painted in a Neoclassical style, the image is a life-sized, standing portrait of the artist playing a harp. The instrument, is depicted as a prop for the splendor of the female form draped in a luxurious, silk gown highlighting the artist's refinement. In addition to her youthful beauty, her enlightenment is enhanced by the presence of a novel, her skill with music, and a decorative vase on a nearby table.
