 parachute design which his company, the Floyd Smith Aerial Equipment Company of San Diego, California, filed a patent for on July 27, 1918. Smith's design was further improved and eventually created the airplane parachute Type-A. The Type A parachute incorporated three key elements:
 storing the parachute in a soft pack worn on the back, as demonstrated by Charles Broadwick in 1906;
 a ripcord for manually deploying the parachute at a safe distance from the airplane, from a design by <mask> Stevens; and
 a pilot chute that draws the main canopy from the pack. On 28 April 1919 using the "Type A" 28 foot backpack parachute, volunteer <mask>, flying in a Smith piloted de Havilland DH9 biplane at 100 mph and 1500 feet above the ground, jumped (with a backup chute strapped to his chest) and manually pulled the ripcord fully deploying his chute at 1000 feet. <mask> became the first American to jump from an airplane and manually open a parachute in midair. The new chute performed flawlessly, though <mask> broke his ankle on landing. Floyd Smith filed the Type A patent No.1,462,456 on the same day. The Parachute Board determined the backpack chute was crowding the cockpit, a redesign moved the parachute down the pilots back becoming the "seat style" chute. The McCook Field team tested the Type A parachute with over 1000 jumps. These successful tests resulted in the Army requiring parachute use on all Air Service flights. Less than two months after <mask>'s first freefall jump, the Irving Air Chute Company was formed in Buffalo, New York, the world's first parachute designer and manufacturer. Legend has it that 'Irvin' was inadvertently changed to '<mask>' by a secretary who mistakenly tacked a 'g' on the end of the

Major Hoffman wrote the US Army specifications for the Type A parachute and the Army Air Service placed an order for 300 parachutes from the lowest bidder: <mask>'s Irving Air Chute Company.After <mask> lost a patent dispute with zero compensation to Floyd Smith, the US Government compensated Smith with $3500 to transfer his patent to <mask>'s company. The original 1919 ripcord parachute is on display at the Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio. An early brochure of the Irving Air Chute Company credits William O'Connor 24 August 1920 at McCook Field as the first person to be saved by an <mask> parachute, yet this was unrecognized. On 20 October 1922, Lieutenant Harold R. Harris, chief of the McCook Field Flying Station, jumped from a disabled Loening PW-2A high wing monoplane fighter. Harris' lifesaving chute was mounted on the wall of McCook's parachute lab where the Dayton Herald's aviation editor Maurice Hutton and photographer Verne Timmerman, predicting more jumps in future, suggested that a club should be formed. Two years later, <mask>'s company instituted the Caterpillar Club, awarding a gold pin to pilots who successfully bailed out of disabled aircraft using an <mask> parachute. In 1922 <mask> agreed to give a gold pin to every person whose life was saved by one of his parachutes.At the end of World War II the number of members with the Irvin pins had grown to over 34,000 though the total of people saved by Irvin parachutes is estimated to be 100,000. The successor to the original Irvin company still provides pins to people who have made a jump. In addition to the Irvin Air Chute Company, other parachute manufacturers have also issued

 caterpillar pins for successful jumps. GC Parachutes formed their Gold Club in 1940. The Switlik Parachute Company of Trenton, New Jersey issued both gold and silver caterpillar pins. Irving Air Chute had become the largest parachute manufacturer in the world. By 1939, 45 foreign countries were using Irving parachutes, including Germany, which had confiscated an Irving plant and bought its patents in 1936.As aircraft flew at ever increasing altitudes, pilots and aircrew were subject to ever lower temperatures, and Irvin designed and manufactured the classic sheepskin flying jacket to meet aviators' special requirements. Later the company also made car seat belts, slings for cargo handling, and even canning machinery. In 1970, the company finally removed the misnomic 'g' from its name, becoming Irvin Air Chute, and in 1996, changed its name again to Irvin Aerospace Inc. In addition to parachutes, the company (now Airborne Systems) specializes in a diverse range of products for global aerospace and military markets. <mask> died in Los Angeles on October 9, 1966.

 the NCAA Indoor Championships and fourth over 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.She left the University of North Carolina with three NCAA All-American honours. Professional
It was in cross country running that <mask> first made her impact in national level competition and she ran at the USA Cross Country Championships while in college. She place 32nd in 1982 then 38th in 1983, but quickly improved to 11th place at the 1984 meet. At the 1985 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships she finished eighth in the two miles race and came 14th in cross country late that year. She struggled with the transition out of college and are contemplating retirement from the sport she began working with a new coach, Harry Wilson, upon the advice of former college mate Jim Cooper. She also began taking part in road running events and won on her debut at the Falmouth Road Race in 1984. Other road performances around this time included wins at the Maggie Valley Moonlight in 1989 and 1992, and the Buffalo 4-mile Chase and Crazy 8's Road Race in 1992.<mask> managed only eleventh in the 3000 m at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 1987, but was much higher placed the following year, taking the runner-up spot behind Lynn Jennings. At the separately held United States Olympic Trials she was back down the order, ending 17th in the 10,000 meters. This was last place by some distance, but she persevered until the finish, driven on by memories of her late father. She failed to break into the top of the American elite that decade, finishing 13th at the 1988 USA Cross Country and tenth at the 1989 USA Outdoor 3000 m. A plantar fasciitis injury interrupted her career in 1989 to 1991, but she reflected that she had been doing too much training and welcomed

 the change. National and international success
Nesbit returned to action 1992 and was an improved runner. She was fifth in the 3000 m at the USA Indoor Championships and then placed fourth over that distance at the 1992 United States Olympic Trials. Although she missed the Olympic spot, this performance led to her first international selection and she finished fourth at the 1992 IAAF World Cup in Havana.She missed the 1993 season but returned to take her first national podium in the 3000 m at the 1994 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in third. She achieved that same placing at the USA Indoor Championships, which brought her another international call-up. She was among the leaders at the 1995 IAAF World Indoor Championships and claimed the 3000 m bronze medal one place behind compatriot Lynn Jennings. This was the first and ultimately Nesbit's only medal for the United States. Turning to the outdoor season, she was fourth in the 5000 meters at the USA Outdoor Championships then won her first national title at the USA Cross Country Championships. With a sixth-place finish, she led the American women to fifth in the team rankings at the 1995 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. Another national title followed at the 1996 USA Indoor 3000 m.

<mask> made three further appearances at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, running in 1996, 1998 and 1999, but failed to register higher than 25th in the individual rankings.She made her first American Olympic team after a third-place finish in the 10,000 m behind Kate Fonshell and Olga Appell at the 1996 United States Olympic Trials. She ran in the heats only at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. She also had a successful return to the road running circuit during this period, taking wins at the Reedy

<mask> (; born 17 August 1970) is a German publisher, journalist and far-right political activist. Kubitschek espouses ethnocentric positions and is one of the most important protagonists of the Neue Rechte (New Right) in Germany. Hailing from the staff of right-wing newspaper Junge Freiheit, <mask> is one of the founders of the Neue Rechte think tank Institut für Staatspolitik (Institute for State Policy; IfS). Since 2002, he is the manager of his self-founded publishing house Antaios, since 2003 chief editor of the journal Sezession, as well as editor of the corresponding blog Sezession im Netz. He initiated several small-scale rightist political campaigns like the Konservativ-Subversive Aktion (KSA) and Ein Prozent für unser Land (One Percent For Our Country). According to observers, he was also instrumental in the conceptual consolidation of the German branch of the Identitarian movement, commonly viewed as far-right. In 2015, he appeared several times as the main speaker at rallies of the right-wing populist PEGIDA movement in the German state of Saxony.Furthermore, he is in contact with East German members of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Personal life and early activities

<mask> was born in Ravensburg (German state of Baden-Württemberg). After leaving school in 1990 with Abitur, he did his military service with a reconnaissance unit in nearby Weingarten. From 1992 to 1999, he studied in Hanover and Heidelberg to become a teacher in German, geography and philosophy, recording a CD with Goethe poems and songs during this time. Kubitschek joined the Deutsche Gildenschaft, a

 völkisch-oriented association of student fraternities, like his later colleagues Dieter Stein (founder of the newspaper Junge Freiheit) and :de:Karlheinz Weißmann. He was the Gildenschafts vice-president and spokesman for its active members. As of 2003, he states to have resigned from his membership.Editor of Junge Freiheit

In 1993, he was speaker at a Junge Freiheit summer school in Ravensburg, headed by the far-right publisher :de:Hans-Ulrich Kopp and organised clandestinely by a FPÖ university students' association among others. His talk was about the Weimar-era national-revolutionary writer and right-wing activist Ernst von Salomon. In early 1995, he was responsible for a special edition of Junge Freiheit about the writer Ernst Jünger, viewed by some as a mental precursor of the New Right. From June 1995 to January 1997, he was the JF's editor for security and military matters. He stayed close to the newspaper afterwards, writing many articles for JF's front page and cooperating with chief editor Stein for a special publication for JF's 20th anniversary in 2006. In 1996, Kubitschek, as part of an organisation founded by himself, participated in protests against the Hamburg Institute for Social Research's exhibition about the war crimes of the German Wehrmacht. In 2010, he took part in a memorial march for the victims of the Allied bombing of Dresden, dominated by neo-Nazis.Deployment Abroad

From December 1997 to March 1998, <mask>, a reserve officer in the Army, served voluntarily with the Bundeswehr as part of SFOR in Bosnia. He was stationed in Sarajevo as second lieutenant and led a platoon in

 "Operative Communications". After Ernst Jünger died in February 1998, he organised a reading of his works. Having returned to Germany, he published a book about his experiences in Bosnia together with a first lieutenant who was classified as a right-wing extremist by military intelligence. Family

<mask> is married to Ellen Kositza, his second wife, who also wrote for the JF. The couple has seven children and lives in Schnellroda Manor in the village of Steigra (Saxony-Anhalt). Founding political platforms

In 2000, Kubitschek and the gymnasium teacher Karlheinz Weißmann, another main protagonist of the Neue Rechte, founded the Institut für Staatspolitik (IfS; Institute for State Policy) to promote neo-rightist ideas and persons in material and non-material ways.Since 2003, the Institute publishes the bi-monthly journal 'Sezession', with Kubitschek as chief editor. Within the Neue Rechte, the institution competes with the firmly Neo-Nazi Deutsches Kolleg (German College) and the more Christian-conservative Studienzentrum Weikersheim (Weikersheim Centre of Studies). The IfS's style was linked to the "fascist [rather cold] style" of Armin Mohler, a Swiss writer and publisher known for his work on the Conservative Revolution. <mask> and Weißmann made the laudatory speech for Mohler's 80th birthday in 2000, and he was among the signatories for Mohler's obituary by his "friends and students" after his death in 2003, also making one of the speeches at his funeral. He resigned from managing the IfS in September 2008 in favour of Erik Lehnert, a philosopher. Since 2002, he has been managing the Antaios publishing house

 linked to the IfS. Conflict with the Bundeswehr

On 16 August 2001, one day before his 31st birthday, <mask>, by then reserve first lieutenant, was dismissed from a training exercise in progress as he was charged with being "involved in right-wing extremist endeavours" according to the Bundeswehr's Office of Personnel and as his "remaining in the Bundeswehr [would] seriously endanger military order and security among the troops."He had frequently written articles for Junge Freiheit which was at that time under observation by federal security agencies. As a response, the JF started a campaign in September 2001, appealing to the Bundeswehr to revoke its decision and protesting against categorising their activity as right-wing extremist. The Bundeswehr repealed its decision in the first half of 2002. The communication historian Lutz Hachmeister claimed that this was not due to the JF's appeal but due to possible legal problems. Kubitschek received no further promotions. He commented in 2008: "To be a soldier, you don't have to wear epaulettes; to serve the state, you don't have to be a state [i.e. public] servant."Political position

Neo-rightist metapolitics

Kubitschek is seen as a spokesman for the Neue Rechte. While his companion Dieter Stein, the JF's chief editor, has rejected the label Neue Rechte (New Right) as impractical, Kubitschek has actively used the term. Whereas Stein is said to favour developing the JF along the lines of a pragmatic national-conservatism, Kubitschek is closer to traditionally metapolitical views, supported by his colleagues :de:Martin Lichtmesz and :de:Manfred Kleine-Hartlage.

 former companion Weißmann criticised him politically and personally in 2015. Helmut Kellershohn sees in his thinking an overlap of Conservatism, the Conservative Revolution and Fascism. Kellershohn cites Filippo Marinetti, Gottfried Benn, Ernst Jünger and Primo de Rivera as influences. Relationship with NPD

Members of the National Democratic Party (traditionally the most important of Germany's post-war far-right parties, usually categorised as neo-Nazi) accused him to indulge in "intellectual self-gratification" and to be himself a part of the "system".Kubitschek had spoken dismissively about the NPD and its aim to "overcome the system": "What I got to know here in my region [in Saxony-Anhalt state] regarding NPD structures or proto-political structures, like Kameradschaften etc. [i.e. loosely-organised neo-Nazi gangs], this is - with due respect - beneath contempt and does not live up to their self-imposed aspirations of advancing Germany. It starts with manners, continues with their political models and their dangerous semi-knowledge, and ends with their outline of how to organise things after taking power. This competition about who may frame the most radical solution and the most radical view, is alien to me." His and the NPD's overlap are "pretty small", he said. Kubitschek's activities were deemed by Endstation Rechts (a Young Social Democrat watchdog of the far-right) to be "non-extremist" in 2010, but explicitly without excluding historical revisionism.Nonetheless, <mask> gave an interview in the NPD paper Deutsche Stimme (German Voice) in 2008. In a talk at IfS, he stressed: "The way our state is

 composed now, it can hardly be stabilised. In its foundations, there are many inclusions that are corrupting the Nation. And through its current policies, it is destroying the substance of the German people, which is without ifs or buts the foundation of a German future." :de:Uwe Backes, a researcher of extremism, called the relationship with the NPD "elitist distance" in 2012. Likewise, Armin Pfahl-Traughber, another German scholar of extremism, said in 2008 that "the differences are less in their animosity towards the norms of the democratic constitutional state but more in regard to methods and target groups." Relationship with AfD and German Republicans

<mask> said he worked for a short time in the early 2000s as an advisor for the Baden-Württemberg section of the Republicans, a German far-right fringe party.In 2005, he accepted an invitation to the summer convention of their youth chapter at Mainz-Kostheim where he gave a talk amongst other members of European rightist parties like the Austrian FPÖ and the Belgian Vlaams Belang. Both <mask> and his wife applied for membership in the Saxony-Anhalt section of the newly formed AfD party (variously termed national-conservative or right-wing populist). This was approved on 27 January 2015 and their ID cards were issued on 5 February, but on 17 February, they were told by the party's federal secretary that their applications had been rejected. Kubitschek responded positively to the Erfurt Resolution by party right-wingers and state-level party chairmen Björn Höcke (Thuringia) and André Poggenburg (Saxony-Anhalt) in March 2015, stating his support for this

 visitors and many organisations, artists and businesses from the Neue Rechte orbit, including right-wing extremists. He continued the event in 2013, although the JF declined to have a stall there because of the inclusion of the Italian neo-fascist Gabriele Adinolfi.Promoting the Identitarians

In 2012, <mask> and Martin Lichtmesz, another Sezession author, attended the Convent international of the Bloc identitaire in Orange, France. In one of the first academic publications on the Identitarian movement in 2014, many of Kubitschek's projects, like the Sezession journal, the Antaios publishing house, the IfS think tank, the KSA activist group and the zwischentag fair, were mentioned as part of the wider Identitarian political and journalistic milieu. Another publication called him, Lichtmesz, and Menzel the central protagonists of the movement's German branch. The Lower Saxon Ministry of the Interior stated that Kubitschek "had campaigned for the Identitarians' goals in writing as well as on public events in the past". Volker Weiß claims that he was instrumental in spreading the concept in Germany. Speaking at PEGIDA rallies

Kubitschek appeared in 2015 together with his family as the main speaker at three rallies of LEGIDA, PEGIDA's Leipzig offshoot. The first time together with Jürgen Elsässer, responsible for the conspiracist, Third Positionist magazine Compact.Both activists stated that the rallies were also about "criticism of the [political] system". In January, he presented a position paper on "Immigration and Identity", using 'integration' as a combat term after the sociologist :de:Annette Treibel-Illian

 had proposed that, for integration in a multi-cultural society, native people should also make an effort. Kubitschek also spoke as the main orator at PEGIDA rallies in Dresden, e.g. next to the Dutch right-wing populist Geert Wilders. He stated to see himself as a kind of "middleman" between the PEGIDA movement's local branches. He also tried to find common ground with Elsässer at a Compact event. The scholar of far-right extremism :de:Olaf Sundermeyer concluded from his call for "civil disobedience" at a Dresden rally in autumn 2015 that he would elevate the "violent protest at Heidenau to an example for others".Although he distanced himself from violence, Pfahl-Traughber states that his "political rigorism" was obvious. Kubitschek, among others, is supposed to have provided PEGIDA supporters "with arguments for islamophobic and xenophobic discourse". Dresden-based political scientist :de:Hans Vorländer claimed that he advocated "völkisch positions", making the Identitarians compatible with the political mainstream. Other experts called him a "mentor of PEGIDA" and that he "contributed massively to radicalise the racist PEGIDA movement". His appearances with PEGIDA have boosted his prominence significantly. In February 2015, <mask> appeared in Italy as a guest of Matteo Salvini at a mass rally of his party, the right-wing populist, regionalist and xenophobic Lega Nord, where he was introduced as a PEGIDA representative. Initiating the EinProzent

<mask> (5 November 1893 – 15 March 1939) was a German politician, and a founder member of the Communist Party of Germany, regarded by some as an "Éminence grise" to the national leadership. He served as a member of the Prussian regional parliament ("Provinziallandtag") between 1924 and 1933. In 1938 he was arrested in Moscow where he had lived for some years. He was executed in 1939. Life
<mask> was born into a working-class family in Berlin. Half a century later it would have become important for the authorities that the family was identified as Jewish, with the result that his mother and sister, along with a number of relatives, would be murdered in Nazi concentration camps. On leaving school Flieg undertook a commercial apprenticeship at a bank, and he worked as a bank official till the outbreak of the war.In 1908, aged fifteen, he joined the Young Socialists. Three years later, still aged only eighteen, he joined the Social Democratic Party ("Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands" / SPD) itself. 1911 was also the year in which he became a member of the "Zentralverband der Handlungsgehilfen" (loosely: "National Clerical Workers' Union"). There are indications that he was already on the fringes of the social circle centred on the political pioneers, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. During the First World War Flieg was conscripted into the army, but he was wounded early on and spent the war years in Berlin where he was employed as a "soldier-clerk" in the "secret department" of the General Staff. During the war years Flieg was involved actively with the anti-war Spartacus League, and he was one of the founders of one of the Free Socialist Youth ("Freie sozialistische Jugend") organisations of the time. In 1918, working as secretary for <mask>, a close friend of Rosa Luxemburg he increasingly became an "insider" with the leadership of what would soon become the German Communist Party.Flieg was always noted for his discretion and reticent demeanour, however. His manner was famously measured and he never raised his voice. During 1918 he began a lifelong friendship with Willi

texts: Münzenberg, but the extent of his influence in extremist left-wing circles during the crucial final months of 1918 remains unclear. The founding congress of the Communist Party of Germany took place in Berlin over three days between 30 December 1918 and 1 January 1919. The core of the founding membership consisted of those who had hitherto been Spartacus League members: <mask> was a party member and part of the leadership team from the outset. He worked closely with Willi Münzenberg on the creation of the Young Communist International ("Kommunistische Jugendinternationale" / KJI), serving as a member of its executive committee from its launch in 1919 till March 1922. During the immediate postwar years Flieg was lodging in Berlin with the family of a girl friend.The father of the family, who worked at the giant Osram factory in Berlin, was heard to marvel at the abstemious ways of his daughter's seemingly unassuming friend:  "I was amazed that <mask> managed a whole egg for breakfast:  half that amount would most certainly have been enough for him!" ("Mich wundert es eigentlich, das <mask> zum Frühstück ein ganzes Ei schafft, ein halbes würde ihm sicher auch genügen!"). From 1922, jointly with Käthe Pohl, Flieg served as secretary to the Organisation Office ("Orgbüro") of the party politburo. He participated in every congress conducted by the Communist Party of Germany between 1920 and 1932. In 1924 he stood successfully for election to the Prussian regional parliament ("Provinziallandtag") as a Communist Party member. Successively re-elected at subsequent elections, he retained his seat without a break till 1932. He was elected to the party Central Committee in 1927 and appears to have joined the politburo shortly afterwards.At the sixth world congress, in 1928, he joined the Comintern International Control Commission. One source indicates that from 1928 Flieg made his home in the Comintern's so-called "Hotel Lux" in Moscow, though the extent of his activities in Germany suggests that at this point much of his time was still spent in Berlin. <mask> liked to operate behind the scenes,

According to one source, records uncovered in Moscow during 1992/93 show that during the early 1930s, as a secretary of the party and commissioner of the Comintern Intelligence Service ("Отдел международной связи, " / OMS), <mask> was in charge of spending an annual subsidy from Moscow valued at 1.8 million marks, co-ordinating false passports, radio operators and couriers. He himself headed up a counterfeiting operation with 170 "employees". This intelligence role was conducted in close collaboration with the Soviet secret police. The Soviet Communist Party became increasingly polarised during the later 1920s between those who were supportive of Stalin and those who dared to be thought to speculate that perhaps Lenin's successor should have been <mask>.The Soviet party and the German Party were closely linked at various levels:  party ruptures in Moscow found powerful echoes among the comrades in Berlin, with a major programme of expulsions during 1928 and the establishment by many of those expelled of an alternative party. Sources insist that through this period <mask> carried out his party functions with skill, loyalty and meticulous care, without regard to whether the party leadership might be considered too far to the left or too far to the right. Then, in May 1932 Flieg was relieved by the German Party of his party responsibilities, seen as having become too close to Heinz Neumann, a close political comrade and a personal friend. In 1930/31 Neumann had become critical of the party leader Ernst Thälmann, and thereby also of Stalin, both of whom, he said, were underestimating the dangers presented by the rise of the Nazi Party. In April 1932 Neumann was stripped of his party functions and summoned to Moscow. Flieg was identified as a "member of the Neumann group" and his demotions, accompanied by the inevitable mutterings about Trotskyite sympathies, followed a few weeks later. His membership of the politburo was reduced to "candidate membership".Despite his disgrace in Germany, Flieg still had

He knew Piatnitsky and Abramov-Mirov and other Comintern leaders from long years of working together on "intelligence matters". By the end of 1932 he was working in Moscow for the Comintern executive committee. Sources are not entirely consistent over his postings over the next few years. In January 1933 the Nazis took power in Germany and Communist Party activists were either arrested (or worse) or escaped abroad. Moscow and Paris both quickly became informal headquarter locations for the German Communist Party in exile. Flieg was sent to Paris and was able to renew his important hands-on political work as a "technical secretary to the politburo".By 1934 he was evidently rehabilitated by the Germany party, and there is mention of his having been sent by the politburo Central Committee not just to Paris, but also to Saarbrücken during the run-up to the 1935 referendum, and to Prague. In October 1935 the exiled German Communist Party held its first party conference since the Nazi take-over in Berlin. The Brussels Conference was also the last conference that the party would be able to hold for more than ten years. Flieg participated, identified pseudonymously as "Alfons", and presented the party's finance report. He was re-elected to the party Central Committee. After that he was probably based in Paris till 1937. During 1937 <mask> was deprived of his German nationality and so became stateless.At Easter that year he received an invitation from the Comintern to a meeting in Moscow. Those with contacts in the Soviet Union were by this time fully aware of the rising level of political arrests under way in what later came to be known in English language sources as the Great Purge. Flieg knew the risks inherent in returning to Moscow and friends urged him to stay in Paris. The Swedish banker Olof Aschberg urged him not to go, and promised support in seeking "emigrant status" from the French authorities. But Flieg felt constrained to accept the invitation. He had responsibilities for party

texts: monies, and feared he might be accused of embezzlement by Comintern chiefs in Moscow if he did not comply with their order. Flieg returned to Moscow in June 1937 and installed himself once more in the "Hotel Lux".His meeting with Comintern management took place, but he received only a reprimand. Early in 1938 the German representative among the Comintern leadership, Philipp Dengel, lodged an application for Flieg to be permitted to leave the country again. Authorisation never came through. Instead, on 20 March 1938, <mask> was arrested by the NKVD and charge with "membership of a right-wing Trotskyite spying organisation". According to a television report of research undertaken by the Hamburg historian, Reinhard Müller, <mask>lieg was tortured for an entire year ("Flieg wurde ein ganzes Jahr lang gefoltert ...."). In the course that lengthy succession of torture sessions he was persuaded to incriminate himself and many others. In the written "confession" extracted from him he confirmed his membership of a Comintern anti-Soviet conspiracy.On 14 March 1939 <mask> was condemned to death by a military tribunal of the High Court and executed by shooting. He was posthumously rehabilitated in 1957. Personal paranoia at the top of the Soviet government which underpinned the Great purge can be seen as a sufficient explanation for Flieg's conviction. He was only one of many hundred Comintern workers and collaborators who fell victim to it. Documents from the Soviet Union that became available after 1990 disclosed a hitherto unsuspected level of involvement by leading members of the German community of exiled communists in Moscow. In the words of one headline that appeared in 1990, "more than a thousand German communists fell victim to the Stalin Terror, with the approval of leading comrades in the Communist Party of Germany". Subsequent investigation of contemporary documents suggests to some that the involvement of the leading German communist comrades probably extended beyond mere approval.In 2002 work undertaken on more recently studied Soviet documents led one specialist historian to point the

Nag's father, <mask>, is a software programmer at Intel, and he taught her from a young age to surround herself with people that are better than her.Nag attended Rolling Hills Middle School where she was the student body president. At age 13, Nag she became the youngest student ever to enter Folsom Lake College. With a desire to learn more and better herself, Nag then pursued high school at Mira Loma High School in Sacramento where she could partake in the International Baccalaureate Program. During her time at Mira Loma, Nag had a desire to work alongside scientists. She contacted many scientists at the University of California, Davis, and secured an internship as a high school student in the lab of Alexandra Navrotsky where she explored the use of nanoparticles in the prevention of forest fires, like the ones that were ravaging her hometown at the time. Her work elucidated that addition of quartz to soil would increase the temperature threshold for fires to start and now quartz is being added to prevent accidental fires in campgrounds. Nag

<mask>  (; December 27, 1823 – December 10, 1917) was a Canadian newspaper publisher and politician, who served as the fifth prime minister of Canada, in office from 1894 to 1896. <mask> was born in Rickinghall, Suffolk, England. He and his family moved to Belleville, Ontario, in 1832. When in his early teens, <mask> was apprenticed to the printing shop of the local newspaper, the Belleville Intelligencer, and some 15 years later, became its owner and proprietor. In 1867, following Confederation, he was elected to the House of Commons for the Conservative Party. <mask> entered cabinet in 1878, and would serve under three prime ministers: John A. Macdonald, John Abbott, and John Thompson. He served variously as Minister of Customs (1878–1892), Minister of Militia and Defence (1892), and Minister of Trade and Commerce (1892–1894).<mask> kept his Commons seat continuously for 25 years, through a period of Liberal Party rule in the 1870s. In 1892, <mask> was appointed to the Senate. He became Leader of the Government in the Senate the following year. In December 1894, Prime Minister Thompson unexpectedly died in office. The Earl of Aberdeen, Canada's governor general, appointed <mask> to replace Thompson as prime minister, due to his status as the most senior cabinet member. The main problem of <mask>'s tenure as prime minister was the Manitoba Schools Question. His attempts at compromise alienated members of his own party, and following a Cabinet revolt in early 1896 he was forced to resign in favour of Charles Tupper.<mask> stayed on as a senator until his death at the age of 93, but never again held ministerial office; he served continuously as a Canadian parliamentarian for 50 years.

In 1878, with the Conservatives again governing, he joined the Cabinet as minister of customs. In 1892 he became minister of militia and defence, having held his Commons seat continuously for 25 years. A competent, hardworking administrator, <mask>

 remained in Cabinet as minister of trade and commerce, a newly created portfolio, after he became a senator that same year. His visit to Australia in 1893 led to the first leaders' conference of British colonies and territories, held in Ottawa in 1894. He became leader of the government in the Senate on October 31, 1893. Prime Minister (1894–1896)
In December 1894, Prime Minister John Sparrow David Thompson died suddenly, and <mask>, as the most senior Cabinet minister, was appointed in Thompson's stead by the Governor General. <mask> thus became the second of just two Canadian prime ministers (after John Abbott) to hold that office while serving in the Senate rather than the House of Commons.Manitoba Schools Question
As Prime Minister, <mask> faced the Manitoba Schools Question. In 1890, Manitoba had abolished public funding for denominational schools, both Catholic and Protestant, which many thought was contrary to the provisions made for denominational schools in the Manitoba Act of 1870. However, in a court challenge, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council held that Manitoba's abolition of public funding for denominational schools was consistent with the Manitoba Act provision. In a second court case, the Judicial Committee held that the federal Parliament had the authority to enact remedial legislation to force Manitoba to re-establish the funding. Leadership crisis
<mask> and his predecessors struggled to solve this problem, which divided the country and even <mask>'s own Cabinet. He was further hampered in his handling of the issue by his own indecisiveness on it and by his inability, as a senator, to take part in debates in the House of Commons. <mask> backed legislation, already drafted, that would have forced Manitoba to restore its Catholic schools, but then postponed it due to opposition within his Cabinet.With the ordinary

 business of government at a standstill, several members of Cabinet decided that <mask> was incompetent to lead and so, to force him to step down, seven ministers resigned and then foiled the appointment of successors. Resigns as prime minister
Though <mask> denounced the rebellious ministers as "a nest of traitors," he had to agree to resign. After ten days, following an intervention on <mask>'s behalf by the Governor General, the government crisis was resolved and matters seemingly returned to normal when six of the ministers were reinstated, but leadership was then effectively held by Charles Tupper, who had joined Cabinet at the same time, filling the seventh place. Tupper, who had been Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, had been recalled by the plotters to replace <mask>. <mask> formally resigned in favour of Tupper at the end of the parliamentary session. Later life, and death
<mask> stayed in the Senate, serving as his party's leader there until 1906, and afterward as a regular Senator until his death in 1917, having served continuously for more than 50 years as a federal parliamentarian. He died of pneumonia in Belleville, seventeen days short of his 94th birthday.He was buried in the Belleville cemetery. His funeral was attended by a full complement of the Orange Order, but not by any currently or formerly elected member of the government. <mask> was designated a National Historic Person in 1945, on the advice of the national Historic Sites and Monuments Board. The Post Office Department honored <mask> with a commemorative stamp in 1954, part of a series on prime ministers. In their 1998 study of the Canadian prime ministers up through Jean Chrétien, J. L. Granatstein and Norman Hillmer found that a survey of Canadian historians ranked <mask> #19 out of the 20 Prime Ministers up until then. Until 2017, <mask> remained the

<mask> (11 June 1923 – 27 October 2001) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team. <mask> joined the team during the 1942 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1951 championship. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals and three Munster medals. An All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion, <mask> captained Cork to a fourth successive All-Ireland title in 1944. At club level <mask> was a four-time county club championship medalist with St. Finbarr's. Playing career

Club

<mask> played his club hurling with St. Finbarr's and enjoyed much success. He first played for the famous "Barr's" club in the minor grade and collected three successive championship medals in that grade between 1939 and 1941.In 1942 <mask> played in his first senior county final with "the Barr's". Ballincollig, a team who had defeated nine-in-a-row hopefuls Glen Rovers in the semi-final, provided the opposition. St. Finbarr's made no mistake and powered to a 5–7 to 2–2. It was <mask>'s first championship medal. Both St. Finbarr's and Ballincollig met in the championship decider again the following year. A 3–3 apiece draw, thanks to a late goal by <mask>, was the result on that occasion, however, St. Finbarr's made no mistake in the replay and powered to a 7–9 to 1–1 victory. It was <mask>'s second championship medal.Three-in-a-row proved beyond St. Finbarr's as Glen Rovers claimed victory in the championship decider in 1944. Both sides lined out in opposition to each other again two years later. <mask>

Twelve months later St. Finbarr's put their title on the line against Sarsfield's in the county decider. A record crowd saw "Sars" lead "the Barr's" by a single point as the game entered injury time. They failed to clear a seventy which was flicked to the net by Jim Sargent to give St. Finbarr's a 4–6 to 4–4 victory. It was <mask>'s fourth and final championship medal.Inter-county

<mask> first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team in 1940. His first season on the team was unsuccessful, however, in 1941 <mask> was appointed captain of the side. He won a Munster medal that year following a 4–6 to 3–3 defeat of Tipperary. <mask> later led his team to an All-Ireland decider against Kilkenny. A 5–2 to 2–2 score line gave Cork the victory and gave <mask> an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal. In 1942 <mask> made his senior championship debut in a Munster semi-final defeat of Limerick. He won his first Munster that year as Tipp were downed by 4–15 to 4–1 in the subsequent provincial decider.The All-Ireland final was a replay of the previous year with Dublin providing the opposition once again. The game was a close affair with just a point separating the sides at the three-quarter stage. In the end Cork won comfortably enough by 2–14 to 3–4 and <mask> collected his first All-Ireland medal. <mask> missed Cork's Munster final triumph, however, he later lined out in a second

Unfortunately, the occasion got to the Glensmen as Cork built up an unassailable 3–11 to 0–2 half-time lead. The final score of 5–16 to 0–4 gave Cork their second-ever hat-trick of All-Ireland titles while it also gave <mask> a second All-Ireland medal. In 1944 <mask> was appointed captain of the team as Cork were attempting to capture a fourth All-Ireland title in-a-row.No team in the history of the hurling championship had won more than three consecutive titles. The year got off to a good start when Cork defeated Limerick by 4–6 to 3–6 after a replay to give <mask> a second Munster medal. For the third time in four years Cork faced Dublin in an All-Ireland decider. Joe Kelly was the hero of the day and he contributed greatly to Cork's 2–13 to 1–2 victory. It was a third successive All-Ireland medal for <mask> while he also had the honour of lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup. Five-in-a-row proved to be a bridge too far for Cork in 1945, while <mask> was later dropped from the starting fifteen for Cork's successful championship campaign the following year. <mask> was back on the starting fifteen again in 1947 and picked up a third Munster medal following a three-point victory over Limerick.The All-Ireland final was a repeat of the previous year with Kilkenny providing the opposition.

A Joe Kelly goal put Cork one point ahead with time almost up, however, Terry Leahy proved to be the hero of the day. He converted a free to level the sides again before sending over the match-winner from the subsequent puck-out. With that the game was over and <mask>'s side were beaten by 0–14 to 2–7. It was the fifth time that Kilkenny had pipped Cork by a single point in an All-Ireland final.That defeat saw the break-up of the great four-in-a-row team of the 1940s and was followed by four lean years of championship hurling for Cork. Three consecutive defeats by Tipperary in 1949, 1950 and 1951 proved too much and <mask> retired from inter-county hurling in 1951. Inter-provincial

<mask> also had the honour of being selected for Munster in the inter-provincial series of games and captained the province for his one season on the team. A 4–10 to 4–4 defeat of Connacht in 1944 gave <mask> his sole Railway Cup medal. Honours

<mask>, Jr. ( ) (born May 13, 1944) is an American writer who wrote Tales of the City, a series of novels set in San Francisco. Early life
<mask> was born in Washington, D.C., to Diana Jane (Barton) and <mask>. His great-great-grandfather, Congressman Lawrence O'Bryan Branch, was from North Carolina and was a railroad executive and a confederate general during the American Civil War. His father, <mask>, founded Maupin, Taylor & Ellis, one of the largest law firms in North Carolina. Maupin was raised in Raleigh. Maupin attended Ravenscroft School and graduated from Needham Broughton High School in 1962. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he wrote for The Daily Tar Heel.Career
Maupin worked at WRAL-TV in Raleigh, a station managed by future U.S. Senator Jesse Helms. Helms nominated <mask> for a patriotic award, which Maupin won. Maupin said he was a typical conservative and segregationist at this time and admired Helms, as a hero figure". Maupin later changed his opinion and condemned Helms at a gay pride parade on the steps of the North Carolina State Capitol. <mask> is a veteran of the United States Navy and served several tours of duty including one in the Vietnam War. Maupin worked at a Charleston newspaper and the San Francisco bureau of the Associated Press in 1971.In 1974, he began what would become the Tales of the City series as a serial in a Marin County-based newspaper, the Pacific Sun, moving to the San Francisco Chronicle after the Sun San Francisco edition folded. In 1978, <mask> publicly accused San Francisco Police Inspector Dave Toschi of faking one of the Zodiac Killer's taunting letters to the media, seriously and irreparably damaging Toschi's career and reputation. <mask> claimed to have noticed a similarity between anonymous fan mail Toschi had sent him after Maupin based one of his Tales of the City characters on him, and a Zodiac letter received by the San Francisco Chronicle on April 24, 1978. Although the USPS crime lab cleared Toschi of being the

Tales of the City

Tales of the City is a series of novels, the first portions of which were published initially as a newspaper serial starting on August 8, 1974, in a Marin County newspaper, The Pacific Sun, picked up in 1976 by the San Francisco Chronicle, and later reworked into the series of books published by HarperCollins (then Harper and Row). The first of <mask>'s novels, entitled Tales of the City, was published in 1978.Five more followed in the 1980s, ending with the last book, Sure of You, in 1989. A seventh novel published in 2007, Michael Tolliver Lives, continues the story of some of the characters. It was followed by an eighth volume, Mary Ann in Autumn, published in 2010 and a ninth and final volume, The Days of Anna Madrigal, in 2014. In Babycakes, published in 1983, <mask> was one of the first writers to address the subject of AIDS. Of the autobiographical nature of the characters, he says "I've always been all of the characters in one way or another." The Tales of the City books have been translated into ten languages, and there are more than six million copies in print. Several of the books have been adapted and broadcast on BBC Radio 4.Television miniseries

The first three books in the series have also been adapted into three television miniseries starring Olympia Dukakis and Laura Linney. The first airing was on PBS; subsequent miniseries appeared on Showtime. Additionally, a miniseries has been made for Netflix that premiered June 7, 2019. Musical projects
He collaborated on Anna Madrigal Remembers, a musical work written by Jake Heggie and performed by choir Chanticleer and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade on August 6, 1999, for which Maupin provided a new libretto. He also participated in a concert series with the Seattle Men's Chorus entitled Tunes From Tales

 (Music for Mouse), which included readings from his books and music from the era. In May 2011, a theatrical musical version of Tales of the City had its premiere at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. The musical has a score and lyrics by Jake Shears and John Garden of the rock band Scissor Sisters, and a book by Jeff Whitty.It was directed by Jason Moore. Maybe the Moon and The Night Listener

<mask> wrote two novels, Maybe The Moon and The Night Listener, which are not part of Tales, though both books occasionally glance in that direction. Maybe The Moon is a story Maupin describes as "partly autobiographical", despite the main character being a female heterosexual Jewish dwarf. The character was also based on his friend Tamara De Treaux, who played the title character in the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The Night Listener is a roman à clef, inspired by <mask>'s experiences concerning the Anthony Godby Johnson hoax. He says he wanted to create a psychological thriller, while being able to put autobiographical elements in it.The issues he addresses include the ending of his relationship with his long-term partner and his relationship with his father. The book very lightly references the Tales world via Gabriel Noone's assistant, who is one of DeDe Halcyon-Day's twins from Tales. It was serialized on the internet, on Salon.com, prior to its print publication. The Night Listener was adapted into a movie that was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in late January 2006 and released by Miramax the following August. Michael Tolliver Lives

Prior to the 2007 release of Michael Tolliver Lives, Maupin had been quoted on his website as saying that another Tales of the City novel was unlikely. Although Maupin originally stated that this novel was "NOT a sequel to Tales [of the City] and it's certainly not Book 7 in the series," he later conceded that "I've stopped denying that this is book seven in Tales of the City, as it clearly is ... I suppose I didn't want people to be thrown by the

 change in the format, as this is a first person novel unlike the third person format of the Tales of the City books and it's about one character who interrelates with other characters.Having said that, it is still very much a continuation of the saga and I think I realised it was very much time for me to come back to this territory." The novel is written from the first-person perspective of Tales character Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver, now in his fifties and living as an HIV-positive man. It also features appearances by familiar Tales characters, such as Anna Madrigal. Maupin said: "I was interested in pursuing the life of an aging gay man, and Michael was the perfect vehicle ... However, as soon as I started writing, I found that, one by one, all the other characters stepped forward and asked to be present. It felt natural, so I went with it." He calls it "a smaller, more personal novel than I've written in the past."The book was released on June 12, 2007, which was declared 'Michael Tolliver Day' by the mayor of San Francisco. Mary Ann in Autumn was published November 12, 2010 by Harper/HarperCollins, continuing the series. It was reviewed by Joseph Salvatore in the New York Times Sunday Book Reviews on November 14. It was followed in January 2014 by The Days of Anna Madrigal, which <mask> says will be the final novel in the series. Personal life

Maupin said he knew he was gay since childhood, but did not have sex until he was 26 and decided to come out in 1974. <mask> married Christopher Turner, a website producer and photographer, after seeing Turner on a dating website. <mask> and Turner were married in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on February 18, 2007.<mask>'s former partner of 12 years, Terry Anderson, was once a gay rights activist, who co-authored the screenplay for The Night Listener. He lived with <mask> in San Francisco and New Zealand. Christopher Isherwood was a mentor, friend, and influence as a writer. Maupin is the cousin of English singer Sarah Jane Morris. He is an atheist. Maupin

The son of a Klezmer band clarinetist, <mask> spent most of his high school years in Baldwin, a Long Island suburb, where he was a music student of Consuelo Elsa Clark, William Zurcher, and Rudolf Bosakowski. The winner of several piano competitions during his youth, he earned his B.A. at Columbia College, Columbia University, where he majored in English literature and concentrated in music, benefiting most—according to his own assessment—from some of the department’s stellar musicology faculty, which, at that time, included such international luminaries as Paul Henry Lang, Denis Stevens, Joel Newman, and others. He studied conducting independently with Carl Bamberger at the Mannes College of Music in New York and later with Harold Farberman at Bard College. At The Juilliard School, where he earned his master's degree, he studied solfège and score reading with the renowned Mme. Renée Longy—known to generations of Juilliard students as “the infamous madame of dictation” for her rigorous demands and classic pedagogic methods—and composition with Vincent Persichetti.His most influential composition teacher, however, was Elie Siegmeister, with whom he studied privately. <mask> is Laureate Conductor of the Chappaqua Orchestra in New York’s Westchester County, which he conducted for the world premiere of his score for the classic 1931 film Frankenstein (directed by James Whale and starring Boris

title: Samuel Butler (poet)

texts:
<mask>  (baptized 14 February 1613 – 25 September 1680) was a poet and satirist. He is remembered now chiefly for a long satirical poem titled Hudibras. Biography
<mask> was born in Strensham, Worcestershire, and was the son of a farmer and churchwarden, also named <mask>. His date of birth is unknown, but there is documentary evidence for the date of his baptism of 14 February. The date of <mask>'s baptism is given as 8 February by Treadway Russell Nash in his 1793 edition of Hudibras. Nash had already mentioned <mask> in his Collections for a History of Worcestershire (1781), and perhaps because the latter date seemed to be a revised account, it has been repeated by many writers and editors. However, The parish register of Strensham records under the year 1612: "Item was christened <mask> the sonne of <mask> the xiiijth of February anno ut supra".Lady Day, 25 March, was New Year's Day in England at the time, so the year of his baptism was 1613 according to the change of the start of the year with the Calendar Act of 1750 (see Old Style and New Style dates). Nash also claims in his 1793 edition of Hudibras that <mask>'s father entered his son's baptism into the register, an error that was also repeated in later publications; however, the entry was clearly written by a different hand. <mask> was brought up in the household of Sir William Russell of Strensham and became his clerk. "When just a Boy he would make observations and reflections on every Thing one sayd or did, and censure it to be either well or ill. He was never at the University for the reason alleged." He was educated at the King's

texts: School, Worcester, under Henry Bright whose teaching is recorded favourably by Thomas Fuller, a contemporary writer, in his Worthies of England. In early youth he was a servant to the Countess of Kent.Through Lady Kent he met her steward, the jurist John Selden who influenced his later writings. He also tried his hand at painting but was reportedly not very good at it; one of his editors reporting that "his pictures served to stop windows and save the tax" (on window glass). Conversely, John Aubrey who knew <mask> quite well enough to be one of his pallbearers, wrote that "He was thinking once to have made painting his Profession. His love to and skill in painting made a great friendship between him and Mr. <mask> (The Prince of Limners of this Age." He studied law but did not practice. After the Restoration he became secretary, or steward, to Richard Vaughan, 2nd Earl of Carbery, Lord President of Wales, which entailed living at least a year in Ludlow, Shropshire, until January 1662 while he was paying craftsmen working on repairing the castle there. In late 1662 the first part of Hudibras, which he began writing when lodging at Holborn, London, in 1658 and continued to work on while in Ludlow, was published, and the other two in 1664 and 1678 respectively.One early purchaser of the first two parts was <mask>. While the diarist acknowledged that the book was the "greatest fashion" he could not see why it was found to be so witty. Despite the popularity of Hudibras, <mask> was not offered a place at Court.
