Early career and marriage

In 1947, at age 21, <mask> was appointed a rosh yeshiva (dean) at Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin school in Brooklyn. However, in 1949, at the encouragement of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, <mask> moved to St. Louis, Missouri, to become the rabbi of the Nusach Ha'Ari congregation. He also became the Jewish chaplain at the Veterans Administration Hospital at Jefferson Barracks and an administrator and counselor at Epstein Hebrew Academy. In 1954 married Paula Zuckerman, the only child of Rabbi Dov Berish Zuckerman and Hinda Zuckerman. Paula's family had fled Austria after the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in 1938.They  subsequently had two children, Bentzion and Yocheved. In 1959, the family moved to Seattle, where <mask> became the rabbi of Congregation Bikur Cholim.

 and rabbinical courts from all over the world consulted him on these matters. He also traveled to the Soviet Union to perform Jewish religious divorces. <mask> was often at the forefront of dealing with new issues in the area of Jewish family law. For example, in the 1980s, he decided to allow a Jewish woman to undergo in vitro fertilization and this decision subsequently influenced others in the area of Jewish medical ethics. Chief Rabbi of St. Louis

The Vaad Hoeir (community council) of St. Louis invited <mask> to return to St. Louis as Chief Rabbi, following the death in 1981 of the previous chief rabbi, Rabbi Menachem Eichenstein, who had served in that position since 1941. In 1983, <mask> succeeded Eichenstein as Chief Rabbi. For the next 22 years, <mask> presided as Chief Rabbi over the St. Louis Rabbinical Court and led the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis, a council that supervises facets of Jewish observance ranging from kosher practice to education to religious divorce.He was the final arbiter of all cases of Jewish law of the Rabbinical Court, and both his scholarship and care for others were noted as hallmarks of his term of office. In 2005, <mask> retired as Chief Rabbi due to ill health and he was named Chief Rabbi Emeritus. No new appointment was made to fill his position. The institution of Chief Rabbi was rare in the United States and existed only in a few U.S. cities; St. Louis was the last city in which a chief rabbi led the Orthodox Jewish community, and <mask> was thus the last chief rabbi of a city in the United States.

<mask> (August 27, 1959 – June 24, 2006) was an American professor of electrical engineering and academic administrator. She was the ninth chancellor of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Biography

Early years
<mask> was born in El Campo, Texas in Wharton County. She was the oldest child of <mask> and Carolyn Irene Drab. <mask> earned her bachelor's and master's degrees (1982), EE (1983) and PhD (1987) in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. <mask> spent two summers and an academic year in the late 1970s and early 1980s at Fairchild Semiconductor, where her projects included 64K static RAM design. After graduation, she accepted a professorship at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering, which was interested in her work in plasma deposition and polymerization.She was the first woman to win tenure in engineering, and she was quickly promoted to full professor. Career
<mask> held academic appointments at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich. In 1996, <mask> was hired as the Dean of the College of Engineering and professor of electrical engineering at the University of Washington. She was the first woman in the United States to lead an engineering college of a major research university. <mask> received attention for her response to Harvard President Larry Summers' suggestion, in January 2005, that one of the reasons that women had achieved less in science could be innate differences between the sexes. "Of course he has the right to say anything and of course there are biological differences," <mask> said. "What some of us were concerned about is that his hypotheses were not grounded in the best and latest scholarly work, and could be refuted by anyone in the field."University of California

R. C. Greenwood who became the University of California Provost. Denton's recruitment package would eventually include a $275,000 salary, $68,750 as a moving allowance, improvements to the chancellor's on-campus residence which included a  $30,000 dog pen initially budgeted at $7,000. Included in the deal was a tenured professorial appointment with a $192,000 salary, and a housing assistance allowance of up to $50,000 for her partner, Gretchen Kalonji. Although much of the  of her residence was used for campus functions, the approximately $600,000 renovation cost, and overall cost of Denton's recruitment brought criticism. This contrasts sharply against increasing student fees, up 79 percent in four years, and low pay raises for clerical and service staff. After an April 2005 campus protest over these issues resulted in the arrest of 19 students, 200 faculty signed a petition condemning her "unwarranted" use of force.She also was allegedly a victim of personal harassment, in the form of verbal insults. A barricade was tossed through her guest-bedroom window on June 10, 2005. Protesters advocating higher wages for custodians blocked <mask> in her car outside her office for about five minutes on June 6, 2006 while performing a skit about racism. On April 5, 2005 anti-war protesters forced military recruiters at a campus career fair to leave campus. <mask> received dozens of threatening phone calls and e-mails. When it was discovered that protest was listed as a "credible threat" on the TALON database managed by the Pentagon's Counterintelligence Field Agency, <mask> helped persuade California Senators Boxer and Feinstein to request an investigation. Ultimately, campus protests were removed from the database.After

Academic work

<mask>'s academic works are mainly on politics of the People's Republic of China. His earlier works in the United States, including the PhD thesis in Princeton and post-doctoral research at Harvard, dealt with China's central-local relations  and state-society interactions in Chinese nationalism.Since late 90s, his research topics have included the impact of globalization  and information technology on Chinese politics and government. In his most recent work, The Chinese Communist Party as Organizational Emperor, <mask> argues that the Chinese Communist Party is not a political party in the usual sense of the word but rather an organizational form of traditional institution of the Emperor, similar to an organizational form of the Machiavellian prince à la Gramsci. According to an interview with Chinese journal Nanfengchuang, his current works in progress include a study on the structure of China's political economy and the nature of the modern Chinese polity as non-nation state. Political commentary
Since the 2000s, <mask> has been a columnist, writing weekly commentaries on China for Hong Kong Economic Journal (until 2004) and the Lianhe Zaobao (since 2002). His weekly commentaries featured a broad range of critical issues in contemporary China's political, economic, social and cultural development. In these commentaries he consistently argues for gradual reforms in

 China's social, economic and political lives. In the recent China Model debate, he takes the stand that while China definitely has a model of its own consistent and continuous with its historical patterns of development, the model needs constant reforms to avoid systemic crisis.As an internationally recognized authority on Chinese politics, he was frequently consulted and quoted by the New York Times on recent developments in China's domestic politics in 2012, an eventful year of the Chinese Communist Party's power transition. Besides being a columnist, he also appeared on TV programs. In the 2006 CCTV documentary The Rise of Great Nations, he was quoted to have expressed the view that the strength of a Great Power lies within its domestic institutions, its external powers merely reflecting an extension of its domestic institutions. Alleged sexual misconduct
In August 2020, a staff member at the East Asian Institute (EAI) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) accused <mask> of sexual harassment early as May 2018. The accuser, who identified herself as “Charlotte” on Twitter, reported <mask> to the police in May 2019 “after a year’s struggle.” According to the accuser, a warning for “offence for Outrage of Modesty” was given to <mask> in May 2020. She also claimed that the EAI was well aware of <mask>’s alleged behavior, but “[pretended] not to know” and used “bullying and retaliation” against her. In early September 2020, the NUS confirmed that <mask> had already resigned from the EAI amid the allegation of sexual misconduct and was granted leave until the expiry of his contract later in the month.<mask> later denied the accusation, along with another alleged

 incident of sexual misconduct, via his attorney. In November 2020, the NUS determined that <mask> had behaved indecently with a subordinate by touching her without her consent during a work meeting. In a statement issued on November 17, the NUS noted that <mask>’s behavior was “inappropriate in a professional setting” and had breached the university’s code of conduct for staff. The university said that they “became aware” of the allegations in May 2019 and suspended <mask> on May 20 that year. <mask> would have been given a written warning accordingly, but since he had already resigned, the NUS recorded the outcome of its internal review in its staff records.

<mask> (born Jean Guillaume de la Fléchère; 12 September 1729 – 14 August 1785) was a Swiss-born English divine and Methodist leader. Of French Huguenot stock, he was born in Nyon in Vaud, Switzerland. <mask> emigrated to England in 1750 and there he became an Anglican vicar. He began to work with <mask>, becoming a key interpreter of Wesleyan theology in the 18th century and one of Methodism's first great theologians. <mask> was renowned in Britain for his piety and generosity; when asked if he had any needs, he responded, "...I want nothing but more grace." Early life
Jean Guillaume de la Fléchère was born in 1729 and baptized on 19 September 1729 in Nyon. He was the eighth and last child of Jacques de la Fléchère, an army officer, and Suzanne Elisabeth,  Crinsoz de Colombier.He was educated at Geneva, but, preferring an army career to a clerical one, went to Lisbon and enlisted. An accident prevented his sailing with his regiment to Brazil, and after a visit to Flanders, where an uncle offered to secure a commission for him, he went to England in 1750. He had harboured a secret desire to travel to England, and had studied the English language prior to his arrival in London. In the autumn of 1751, he became tutor to the sons of Thomas and Susanna Hill, a wealthy Shropshire family, who spent part of the year in London. On one of the family's stays in London, <mask> first heard of the Methodists and became personally acquainted with <mask> and Charles Wesley, as well as his future wife, Mary Bosanquet. Ministry
In 1757 <mask> was ordained as deacon (6 March 1757) and priest (13 March 1757) in the Church of England, after preaching his first sermon at Atcham being appointed curate to the Rev. Rowland Chambre in the parish of Madeley, Shropshire.In addition to performing the duties of his curacy, he sometimes preached with <mask> and

 assisted him with clerical duties in Wesley's London chapels. As a preacher in his own right, but also as one of Wesley's coadjutors, <mask> became known as a fervent supporter of the Evangelical Revival. <mask> perceived a vocational call from God to parochial ministry, and being led by this calling rather than by the temptation to wealth and influence, he refusing an offer to be presented to the wealthy living of Dunham, accepting instead the humble industrialising parish of Madeley in Shropshire. He had developed a sincere religious and social concern for the people of this populous part of the West Midlands where he had first served in the Christian ministry, and here, for twenty-five years (1760–1785), he lived and worked with unique devotion and zeal, described by his wife as his, "unexampled labours" in the epitaph she penned for his iron tomb. <mask> was devoted to the Methodist concern for spiritual renewal and revival, and committed himself to the Wesleys by correspondence and by coming to their aid as a theologian, while maintaining a never-wavering commitment to the Church of England. Indeed, much of <mask>'s controversial theological writings claimed their foundation was the 39 Articles, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Homilies of the Church of England. Yet, for all his support of <mask>'s and his Methodist societies which in many cases came into tension with the parish clergy, <mask> believed the Methodist model functioned best within the parochial system, and himself implemented his own brand of Methodism in his own parish.<mask> had chosen <mask> to lead the Methodist movement upon Wesley's passing, but <mask> died prior to Wesley. Marriage

In 1781, <mask> returned from the Continent where he had been convalescing from a severe respiratory disorder. Upon his return he picked up a correspondence with a woman he had

 met nearly thirty years previous, Mary Bosanquet, who in the early 1770s had become one of the first woman preachers authorised by <mask> to preach. <mask> and Bosanquet first met during the mid-to-late 1770s at The Foundery. When they met, <mask> had considered proposing to Bosanquet, but thought that she was too rich to accept his proposal, and that he would do better dedicating himself to God. Mr. <mask> and Miss Bosanquet carried on a correspondence during June 1781, in which <mask> confessed that he had admired her since they had met. <mask> and Bosanquet were married at Batley Church in Yorkshire on 12 November 1781.<mask> exchanged pulpits with the evangelical vicar of Bradford, <mask>, to settle his wife's affairs in Yorkshire. They returned to Madeley together on 2 January 1782. Their marriage was to be short-lived, for <mask> died less than four years later, on 14 August 1785. After his death, <mask> was allowed to continue living in the vicarage by the new vicar, Henry Burton, a pluralist clergyman who was also the incumbent of Atcham parish, near Shrewsbury. Though <mask> attempted to persuade Mrs. <mask> to leave Madeley for a ministry with the Methodists in London, she refused, believing she was called to carry on her late husband's work in the parish. This she did for the next thirty years. She died in the parish and was buried in the same grave as her husband in December 1815.Theology

In theology he upheld the Arminian doctrines of unlimited atonement, free will, and conditional election against the Calvinist doctrines of unconditional election and limited atonement. His Arminian theology is most clearly outlined in his famous Checks to Antinomianism. He attempted to confront his (and <mask>'s) theological adversaries with courtesy and fairness, although some of his contemporaries judged him harshly for his writings.

texts: His resignation on doctrinal grounds of the superintendency (1768–1771) of the Countess of Huntingdon's college at Trevecca left no unpleasantness. <mask> was characterised by saintly piety, rare devotion, and blamelessness of life, and the testimony of his contemporaries to his godliness is unanimous. Although <mask>'s funeral sermon was preached by his friend Rev. Thomas Hatton, a like-minded clergyman from a neighbouring parish, Wesley wrote an elegiac sermon in the months after <mask>'s death, reflecting upon the text of Psalm 37:37, "Mark the perfect man".He characterised him as "unblamable a character in every respect", the holiest man he had ever met, or ever expected to meet, "this side of eternity". Southey said that, "no age ever provided a man of more fervent piety or more perfect charity, and no church ever possessed a more apostolic minister." His fame was not confined to his own country, for it is said that Voltaire, when challenged to produce a character as perfect as that of Christ, at once mentioned <mask> of Madeley. There remains to date no complete edition of his Works, although varying editions of collections of his writings were first published after his death, first in 1795, with subsequent editions in 1806, 1822, 1836, 1859–60, 1873, and 1883 (among others, including a twentieth-century reprint by Schmul Publishers). The chief of his published works, written against Calvinism, were his Five Checks to Antinomianism, Scripture Scales, and his pastoral theology, Portrait of St Paul. See lives by <mask> (1786); Luke Tyerman (1882); F. W. Macdonald (1885); J. Maratt (1902); also J C Ryle, Christian Leaders of the 18th Century.

 the thought found in these treatises can be traced to the early days of his ministry as the Vicar of Madeley).When Wesley's Calvinist opponents made the charge that Wesley had endorsed works righteousness, <mask> demonstrated that this was not the case. Rather, <mask> countered that Wesley's language was an attempt to attack antinomianism in the British Church. <mask>'s subsequent publication Checks to Antinomianism supported Wesley further; this was the first distinctively Wesleyan theological writing published by someone other than <mask> or Charles Wesley. <mask> often wrote about entire sanctification, which has been influential to the holiness movements in Methodism, as well as in the development of Pentecostal theology. <mask> influenced, and was influenced by, the writings of <mask> concerning perfection through the cleansing of the heart to be made perfect in love. <mask> became the chief systematiser of Methodist theology. Addressing Wesley's position on the sovereignty of God as it relates to human freedom, <mask> developed a particular historical perspective espousing a series of three dispensations (time periods) in which God worked uniquely in creation.(This is not to be confused with Dispensational theology, which was fashioned long after <mask>'s death.) Through these dispensations, God's sovereignty was revealed not in terms of ultimate power but in terms of an unfathomable love. <mask> sought to emphasise human freedom while connecting it firmly with God's grace. Writing style
<mask>'s writings, while serious in nature, display his keen wit, sometimes demonstrated by the use of clever satire. His typical form for constructing his arguments was a theological treatise written in epistolary fashion, though he used the literary convention of hypothetical Socratic "dialogues", as well as writing sermons and poetry, the

 most famous poem of which is his La Grace et la Nature. His Portrait of St. Paul, written in French, but translated and published posthumously, fit well within the genre of clerical training books of the period. He typically wrote of God in terms of divine moral qualities rather than in terms of power or wrath.His themes were:

"1. Man is utterly dependent upon God's gift of salvation, which cannot be earned but only received; and

2. The Christian religion is of a personal and moral character involving ethical demands on man and implying both human ability and human responsibility." <mask> himself summarised his theological position:

"The error of rigid Calvinists centers in the denial of that evangelical liberty, whereby all men, under various dispensations of grace, may without necessity choose life [...] And the error of rigid Arminians consists in not paying a cheerful homage to redeeming grace, for all the liberty and power which we have to choose life, and to work righteousness since the fall [...] To avoid these two extremes, we need only follow the Scripture-doctrine of free-will restored and assisted by free-grace." Although the entire Methodist family uses <mask>'s work, his writings have found particular popularity among Holiness theologians. Works

<mask>  (16 June 1878 – 14 September 1954) was a Canadian entomologist, plant pathologist and virologist who worked as the first director of agriculture in Mysore State in southern India. He conducted pioneering research on the pests and diseases affecting agriculture in the region and was instrumental in establishing several agricultural research and educational institutions including the Hebbal Agricultural School which later became a part of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore and the Central Coffee Research Institute at Balehonnur. His major contributions to plant protection included measures to control a rot disease of coffee caused by Pellicularia koleroga (now Ceratobasidium noxium) known in southern India as koleroga. <mask> established measures for koleroga, a generic name for rot-causing diseases in Kannada, that caused complete destruction in areca plantations. Sprays of inexpensive Bordeaux mixture on the growing crowns helped control infection caused by what he described as Phytophthora arecae (now considered as Phytophthora palmivora). Early life

<mask> was born in Durham County, Ontario, Canada, on 16 June 1878 to Elizabeth and Francis T<mask>. He had three brothers and two sisters.The family appears to have moved between Toronto and Spokane, Washington as <mask> went to the Arthur High School and Harbord Collegiate Institute after which <mask> became a primary school teacher (following his brother Norman Frank <mask> who became a President of Reed College while another brother Herbert was principal of Spokane High School). In 1900 he joined the University of Toronto and graduated in science with a Governor General's Gold medal in 1904. <mask> spent the summer of 1904 at the marine research stations at Malpeque and at Georgian Bay where he studied oyster cultivation. He received the Frederick Wyld Prize for English Essay in 1905. He moved to Germany for further study and obtained a doctorate from the University of Göttingen. Here he studied nitrification by soil bacteria. He trained in mycology under Heinrich Klebahn.From 1906, he worked at the Kaiser Wilhelm

<mask> joined as an entomologist in the agricultural research establishment begun in the State of Mysore by Adolf Lehmann, a Canadian chemist of German descent. Lehmann's appointment as a chemist had followed from the recommendations of a committee headed by Dr J.A. Voelcker to improve agriculture in India and while his focus had been on soil fertility he found the need for plant protection expert. After the retirement of Lehmann, <mask> headed the Chemistry department of the Mysore Agricultural Department while also studying crop pests and diseases. He was appointed as the Director of Agriculture in 1913 and held the position until 1934 with a break between 1925 and 1928. <mask> was also involved in the establishment of the Hebbal Agricultural School in July 1913 (serving as its founding principal) and three vernacular agricultural schools were started at Chikkanhalli, Hassan, and Ramakrishnapur.The school at Hebbal later became the Agricultural College at Hebbal in Bangalore (on 14 June 1946) and in 1964 became a part of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Another innovation was the establishment of the Mysore Agricultural and Experimental Union in 1918, consisting of land owning cultivators interested in carrying out experiments and scientific investigations on new methods, conduct manure and crop trials just like the government experimental farms while also popularising new ideas among farmers. At the 1912 Dasara exhibition in Mysore, he organized an exhibit of insect pests and measures for their management. A field day was held once a year in November. The Union was based on a similar idea in Ontario and published a quarterly journal in English (Journal of the Mysore Agricultural Experimental Union now called the Mysore Journal of Agricultural Sciences) and a Kannada monthly. In 1918, <mask> spoke at the Mysore Economic Conference on the Japanese approach to consolidation of small farmer

From January 1919 to July, he taught biology to Canadian army personnel returning from the First World War in a makeshift training centre in Ripon, Yorkshire.This six month course at the Khaki University was accepted by Canadian universities as equal to a full year of coursework. <mask> reflected on his experience in education in this setup in a Mysore University publication noting how the lack of a proper building hardly affected the aim of providing education. From the 1920s <mask> was increasingly responsible for administration with the department of sericulture (but moved back under the director of industries and commerce in 1923) and the Civil Veterinary and Amrut Mahal Departments placed under the care of his department. <mask> helped establish a number of new institutions including the Central Coffee Research Institute at Balehonnur in 1925 with an original eighteen acres of coffee land leased out by C.S. Crawford. <mask>'s research in the 1930s included studies on coffee rust, Hemileia vastatrix, and a disease of areca caused by Phytophthora palmivora (then called P. arecae). He also studied a mycoplasma infection that affected sandal and caused sandal spike.As a research administrator <mask> recruited and mentored the Indian entomologist K. Kunhikannan and the mycologist M. J. Narasimhan who worked as assistants. In 1921 and 1933 he introduced Agromyzid flies (Ophiomyia lantanae) from Hawaii for the control of Lantana. <mask> suggested experiments on X-ray induced mutation for breeding new sugarcane varieties based on observations of similar attempts on Tobacco at the Klaten Experimental Station in Java. These mutation experiments were then conducted by Venkatrao K. Badami. <mask> was involved in the passing of the Diseases and Pests Act (1917), the first attempt in India to manage pests through legislation and was aimed at control of the white stem borer in coffee, a major export commodity from Mysore. The act made it compulsory

Mass campaigns involving school children to collect hairy caterpillars for control were also novel.<mask> helped introduce improved agricultural equipment including the Holder knapsack sprayer and the Kolar mission plough imported from the United States by the Kolar Mission Institute and later modified and locally produced as the "Mysore plough". <mask> also examined economic policies and was an advisor to many government bodies both in Mysore State and on deputation to the government of British India. In 1933, Mysore Sugar Company (or Mysugar), the first joint-stock private company in India with the government as a majority shareholder was established to process sugar at the Mysore Sugar Factory (begun 15 January 1934) produced by sugarcane farmers in the (then called the Irwin canal, now Visveshwariah) canal irrigated region of Mandya. The farmers were contracted to sell all their produce through what was then a novel "oppige" (Kannada for agreement or contract, making it among the oldest examples of industrial "contract farming") system. The first laboratory for breeding parasites to help control sugarcane stem borer was established in 1935-36 at Mandya following research begun in 1933.As a member of the board of agriculture in India, <mask> headed various advisory committees and was responsible for approving the establishment of a dedicated statistical unit at the Imperial Agricultural Research Institute. A grasshopper genus, <mask>ia and another species Parahieroglyphus colemani were named after him by Ignacio Bolívar. <mask> made an extensive study of <mask>ia sphenarioides, a pest in some regions that affected sorghum.The scale insect Coccus colemani found on coffee was named after him by his assistant entomologist Kunhi Kannan in 1918. <mask> was interested in the role of natural parasites and predators for the control of pests. He took up measures to control Opuntia in Kolar district that included manual removal, their conversion of into green manure, and the use of cochineal insects in their control. He reared and studied many

 species of parasites. Telenomus colemani, Anastatus colemani, and Tetrastichus colemani are named after him. Return to Canada
In 1925 <mask> briefly returned to Canada due to ill health to take up a position in the Toronto University department of botany. In 1927 a part-time position of plant pathologist in Ontario was created.He worked briefly on the dead arm of grapes caused by Cryptosporella viticola. <mask> did not continue for long and resigned to return to India. In 1929 he published a report on the work done in Mysore and how it compared with the recommendations made by the Royal Commission on Agriculture in India. <mask> was made Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire in 1931. Working again for a few years in Mysore, <mask> retired from his position as Director of Agriculture in 1934 and left India to work at Toronto University, teaching and researching genetics. He worked on the cytology of Gasteria and Allium in 1936. In 1948 he studied the cytology of a grasshopper.<mask> was married twice. His first wife Mary MacDonald Urquhart (born Oct 19, 1882) died on May 10, 1918 in the Biligirirangan Hills from diabetes and was buried in the Honnametti estate of R.C. Morris. They had a son John Urquhart <mask>. <mask> married Phebe Ropes (born 1890), daughter of Willis H. Ropes of Danvers, Massachusetts, an artist trained in Boston, on 23 May 1923. They had two daughters and a son. Towards the end of 1953 <mask> visited Karnataka privately, but on hearing about his visit, the then chief minister Kengal Hanumanthaiah declared him a state guest and organized a tour of Karnataka to examine the state of agriculture and to visit the places where he had worked.Shortly after returning to Canada in 1954, while driving to his lab in Saanichton through dense fog, his car hit a culvert and he was killed.

title: Philomena Marano

texts:
<mask> (born 1952) is an American artist specializing in papier collé. Early life and education
<mask> was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, growing up in the borough's Bensonhurst neighborhood. During her childhood, the family made frequent summer trips to the amusement parks and beaches of nearby Coney Island, which would have a later effect on her art. She graduated from New York's High School of Art and Design, and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1974 from the Pratt Institute. Career

Coney Island
From 1975 to 1977, Marano worked as a studio assistant to the American Pop artist Robert Indiana, who had been commissioned by the Santa Fe Opera to create set and costume designs for their Bicentennial production of Gertrude Stein’s opera "The Mother of Us All." As part of Indiana's design team for the project, Marano was introduced to papier collé, a process of cutting paper into defined shapes and adhering them to a flat surface. This method was used to create maquettes for Indiana's set and costume designs for the Santa Fe Opera's production.Marano's introduction to the papier collé method, her exposure to Indiana's use of bright color "in his paintings of words and numbers in which he infused his own autobiographical messages," plus Indiana's interest in popular culture and the culture of Coney Island, proved influential to Marano's later work. This reintroduction of Coney Island into Marano's thinking led to her renewed interest in the neighborhood. By the late 1970s, Marano was concentrating on Coney Island imagery almost exclusively. The earliest image in the series was "Shooting Gallery #2", created

Marano was also becoming involved in Coney Island's revival of cultural activities, and in 1981 she participated in an outdoor art show on West 10th Street, adjacent to the Cyclone Rollercoaster, exhibiting an eleven-foot construction of the Parachute Jump, called "Flowers From an Unkept Garden." Through this exhibition, Marano met artist Richard Eagan, with whom she co-founded the Coney Island Hysterical Society in 1982, whose roster of artists and Coney Island supporters grew to 400 members. In 1983, <mask> and Eagan collaborated on a 2200 square foot painted mural called "Steeplechase Come Back," an homage to Steeplechase Park, which had been demolished in 1966.Additional collaborations with Eagan continued, including an elaborate project organizing the restoration the defunct "Dragon’s Cave" ride. <mask> served as Art Director, and together with ten other artists restored and repainted the cars and interior scenes, renaming the ride the Spookhouse. The project was further enhanced by donations from Harvey Fierstein of sets and props designed by Bill Stabile for Fierstein's then-closed off-Broadway production, "Spookhouse." Though Marano worked in various media, including linoleum cut, paint, serigraph, and drawing, papier collé became her primary process, and her imagery remained focused on Coney Island. Creating images of the amusement parks’ rides such as the Zipper, the Wonder Wheel entrance depicted in "Thrills," and others, led Marano to treat her imagery as a comprehensive expression of Coney Island's historic and cultural significance, particularly in light of the amusement parks’

 Wall Street Gallery in New York. Later American Dream-Land papier collé images include "Miracles Only" from 2010, depicting cloud angels over Coney Island signage, rides and skyline, "I Wonder As I Wander," from 2011, depicting directional signage to the Wonder Wheel in the night sky,  and "Ma Est Ide" from 2012, depicting the entrance and partial signage for the "Spookarama World’s Longest Spook Ride." Signage
In addition to imagery of Coney Island's rides and businesses, Marano also created papier collé works based on the area's signage, particularly the style and visual impact of Coney Island's signage.Though American Dream-Land's imagery included signage such as entry signs, names of rides, game-stall and food-stall signs, these signs were included as part of the overall landscape. In 2014, <mask> created a specific signage series in papier collé and painted canvas. Many of the signs were generic, such as "Ride,"  which was framed in salvaged boards from the Coney Island Boardwalk, and "Thrills," among others. Other projects
<mask>'s Coney Island interests included the variety of tastes and colors offered by the area's candy purveyors. Her series "Sugar Rush" depicts the numerous sweets associated with Coney Island: ice cream cones, all-day suckers, sodas, candy bars, candy apples, gum drops, etc. Her "Urbanology" series expands her Coney Island and signage imagery to include out-of-the-way views of urban streets and the small businesses there. Images include the "Flat Fix" series, papier collé depictions of various tire shops.In 2011, <mask>, in collaboration with The Studio animation studio, and composer Carol

 Lipnik, produced "Take Me There," a short animation created in papier collé imagery. The narrative, inspired by the Franklin Avenue shuttle, an elevated Brooklyn line of the New York City subway system, derives from memories of Marano's childhood riding the subway to Coney Island, and envisioning the elevated train ride turning into a roller coaster. Marano's imagery was originally intended as 29 glass panels for an unrealized 1999 commission from the Metropolitan Transit Authority. From 1981 to 1984, Marano was lead artist for broadcast graphics for the NBC TV network's "Ask NBC News," a national news program for children. In 2004, her artwork was seen in the 2004 film, "The Terminal," directed by Steven Spielberg. In 1994, Marano wrote and illustrated the children's book, "Word Sandwiches." Exhibitions, public commissions and collections
Marano's work has been exhibited in several museums and galleries in New York, including the Tabla Rasa Gallery, The Prince Street Gallery, Smart Clothes Gallery, ACA Galleries, A. M. Richards Fine Art, and others.In 2004, <mask> produced the winning entry in the inaugural "Spirit of Brooklyn" competition, creating a poster depicting various Brooklyn landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island's Parachute Jump. The poster was published on conjunction with the opening of the Brooklyn Tourism Center. <mask>'s work is represented in various private and public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum.

 August 1965 called the Combined Action Program (CAP). This program consisted of squads of Marine and Navy medical corpsmen volunteers for combined action platoons (CAP), that were part of combined action companies (CAC), combined with South Vietnamese Popular Force platoons, which were sent into South Vietnamese countryside villages and hamlets to deny the Viet Cong access to the people living there. As Life noted, "His CAC units all had the same orders: help protect the villages, get to know the people, find the local Communist infrastructure and put it out of business." General <mask> stressed the importance of using combine action companies to win the confidence of average, ordinary Vietnamese citizens.The magazine observed, "If these people could be located and won over, <mask> argued, the Communists would be hit where it hurts." Because of the Combined Action Program, the number of "secure" villages under General <mask>'s protection rose between 1965 and 1967 from 87 to 197, while the number of Vietnamese living in "secure" areas in general rose from 413,000 to 1.1 million.

In the mid-1970s General <mask> served as the senior military member of President Gerald Ford's clemency board, and he later advised the Department of Defense on weapons development and combat training. General <mask> described the contradictions of the Vietnam War in an article for The New York Times in 1971. "On the one hand it was an extremely sophisticated war, with complex weapons unlike even World War II or Korea," he wrote."On the other hand it was a return to medieval war, pitting man against man on a battleground where only the courageous could win." General <mask> wrote three books after retiring from the Marine Corps: Strange War, Strange Strategy, about the war in Vietnam; America Faces Defeat, about the dangers confronting the nation; and The Eleventh Hour, about the urgency of

First Navy Cross citation
Citation:

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Colonel <mask> <mask> (MCSN: 0-5436), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while attached to the Third Battalion, Fifth Marines (Reinforced), FIRST Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces in the Borgen Bay Area, Cape Gloucester, New Britain, on 10 January 1944. When all six members of a 37-mm. gun crew were killed or wounded while moving the weapon up the steep slope of a ridge to provide support for advanced assault units pinned down by heavy enemy fire, Lieutenant Colonel <mask> unhesitatingly rushed forward alone and, completely disregarding his own personal safety, began to push the gun up the hill. Inspired by his initiative and valor, several other men came to his assistance and laboriously worked their way up the slope in the face of terrific hostile fire until the gun was in position to enfilade the enemy lines.Courageously leading his men against five counterattacks made by the Japanese during the night in an effort to regain control of one end of the ridge, Lieutenant Colonel <mask> enabled his forces to repulse the attacks with great losses to the enemy and, resuming the battle the next morning, skillfully directed the battalion in the capture of the entire ridge. By his brilliant leadership and expert tactical knowledge, Lieutenant Colonel <mask> contributed

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting a Gold Star in lieu of a Second Award of the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Colonel <mask> <mask> (MCSN: 0-5436), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism as Executive Officer of the Fifth Marines, FIRST Marine Division, during operations against enemy Japanese forces on Peleliu, Palau Islands, from 15 to 30 September 1944. When the Commanding Officer of the Third Battalion was wounded and the Executive Officer killed during an engagement with the enemy in thick jungle on the evening of 15 September, Lieutenant Colonel <mask> assumed command of the Battalion and, by his aggressive and tireless leadership in the face of hostile small-arms, mortar and artillery fire, reorganized the Battalion and enabled it to repulse a heavy Japanese counterattack during the night and push forward to its objective the following morning. On the morning of 20 September, as Regimental Executive Officer, he made his way to the northern tip of the island to direct the installation of a gun and, although under heavy sniper and machine-gun fire, remained at the gun and supervised the firing on a cave until this strong point was neutralized. His courage and inspiring leadership throughout were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. Silver Star citation

<mask>  (born 28 August 1938) is a former Labour Party member of the New Zealand House of Representatives and cabinet minister in the reformist fourth Labour government. He is also a noted New Zealand historian, and has published a number of books on New Zealand politics, including biographies of Prime Ministers Peter Fraser, Gordon Coates and Joseph Ward. Life before politics
<mask> was born on 28 August 1938 in Auckland, the son of <mask> (née Brown) and <mask>, and educated at Owairaka School, Dilworth School, Mt Albert Grammar, and the University of Auckland. He completed BA and MA degrees in history at the University of Auckland before winning a fellowship to Duke University in the United States in 1961. He completed a PhD in American history there, completing a dissertation entitled The Socialist Party of America, 1912–1919: Years of Decline. In 1964, <mask> returned to New Zealand and became a senior lecturer in history at the University of Auckland. During this time he was a member of the Princes Street Labour branch.Political career

<mask> stood unsuccessfully for the Labour Party in the  for  and in the  for . In 1971 <mask> was elected to the Auckland City Council. In the following year, he was elected as a Labour MP for Waitemata in the 1972 election, and the Labour Party became the government for the first time since 1960. Following the death of Prime Minister Norman Kirk in 1974 the party (and <mask>) were defeated in the following (1975) election. In his account of the Third Labour Government, <mask> described it as one of "the most active and socially responsible governments of the twentieth century." He distinguished himself as one of the better performing backbenchers in the government and during its term he assisted Henry May, the Minister

Following his defeat, <mask> was asked about the Labour candidacy for the Nelson by-election, which took place only months afterwards, but he ruled it out saying he was not interested in Nelson and "nor would Nelson be interested in me."<mask> was elected to the Te Atatu electorate in the 1978 election, holding the seat until 1990. Soon after returning to Parliament, he was appointed Shadow Minister of Internal Affairs, Local Government and Sport & Recreation. In a reshuffle in March 1981 he was instead appointed Shadow Minister for Health. <mask> was vocally critical of party president Jim Anderton (particularly after Anderton was ejected from the head office of Air New Zealand during an industrial dispute) and declared he would challenge him for the presidency of the party. An open conflict drew the ire of others in the party and eventually <mask> withdrew his candidacy. He was still subsequently dumped from the shadow cabinet in February 1982. In 1984, an electoral landslide in favour of Labour resulted in New Zealand's fourth Labour government (in office: 1984–1990).David Lange appointed <mask> Minister of Health and Minister of Local Government. As Minister of Local Government he imposed electoral reforms on councils to use a ward system for local electoral districts, replacing the more commonplace at large system. The government enacted a major programme of economic and social reform, the economic arm of which became known as Rogernomics. Major social reforms included the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the Homosexual Law Reform Act 1986. <mask> wholeheartedly supported the social reforms. After winning a second term, <mask> retained only the Local Government portfolio but was appointed Minister of

 Internal Affairs, Civil Defence and Arts and Culture in 1987. <mask> also served as chairman of the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board and of the 1990 Commission, tasked with the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.In his capacity as Minister of Internal Affairs he also helped to reorganise Waitangi Day celebrations and to encourage them around New Zealand. When the government and party schismed over issues of economic reform, <mask> took the side of finance minister Roger Douglas, the main architect of the reforms. In 1990, Labour was defeated in another landslide election. <mask> did not contest the 1990 election, and retired from active politics. He continued occasionally to be involved at an advisory level, for example unofficially advising Don Brash during Brash's term (2003–2006) as National Party leader. <mask>'s switch of sides reflects the present-day Labour Party's semi-repudiation of Rogernomics. Career after politics
<mask> resumed his academic career, publishing several books on New Zealand political history, and contributing to the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography and the British Dictionary of National Biography.He worked for two years with New Zealand's Expo team in the run up to the Seville Expo '92. He was a Professor of History at the University of Western Ontario on and off from 1992 to 1996, taught at the Auckland University Medical School from 1997 to 2000, and was a Fulbright Professor of New Zealand Studies at Georgetown University, Washington DC. From 1994 to 2004 <mask> was a member of the Waitangi Tribunal, which investigates breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.

In his article The Essentials of Successful Political Leadership in Twentieth Century New Zealand Politics, <mask> outlined the factors he thought were required for a Prime Minister to be successful. These factors include robust health, high energy levels, a good temperament, intelligence, a willingness to take the right, as opposed to the politically expedient, decision, a modicum of luck, a supportive spouse and charisma.Personal life
In 1964, <mask> married Judith Petrie, who went on to become a historian at the University of Auckland and a member of the Auckland Regional Council. She had also been a member of the Auckland Hospital Board. The couple had two children. <mask> is a third cousin of late Prime Minister David Lange. <mask> had suggested that Lange should stand on the Labour ticket for the Auckland City Council in 1974. The Council was dominated by conservative interests and the only Labour candidates elected were Jim Anderton and Catherine Tizard; Lange was "halfway down the field .... which was better than I expected". Lange's father, who was a doctor, had delivered Bassett.Lange wrote (presumably jokingly referring to <mask>'s appointment to Cabinet and their later disagreements): "My father had delivered him, and it became plain in later days that he must have dropped him ...."
