 one front page profile on <mask> <mask>/Smear chronicling his rise from scrawling his name on the streets of the city to being an art world habituée. That same evening after that paper hit the stands, <mask>'s home was raided but <mask> was not at home; he was arrested the following day when he turned himself in. He was arrested for alleged probation violation. <mask>'s attorney, Peter Bibring of the ACLU, said L.A. deputies told him they planned to show that Gheorghiu possessed "graffiti tools" in his home, and that that was "a violation of his probation" and "merited new charges". On March 24, 2011,  Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Marcelita Haynes sentenced Gheorghiu to 13 days in jail and 45 days of community service, adding that his success as a tagger-turned-artist could help inspire young graffiti writers to take their art into the studios.On June 20, 2012, the civil case against 11 alleged members of the MTA crew named in the suit was settled with the 11 defendants no longer required to pay the city of Los Angeles millions of dollars for graffiti cleanup. The city agreed not to enforce the injunction against 8 of the defendants (<mask> being one of those 8 defendants) as long as they refrain from any "graffiti vandalism" and complete certain requirements. Furthermore, the cases would be totally dismissed when the defendants pay outstanding fines, perform 100 hours of graffiti removal and five years pass without a graffiti conviction. Since <mask> had paid all outstanding fines and 5 years since 2007 had passed without a graffiti conviction and he had finished the 100 hours of community service, the case against <mask> <mask> was dismissed June 20, 2012.

 of human forms with vivid colors and rough, emotional strokes". The Times article details that Smear's art developed a following, especially among a subculture of street art aficionados. By 2009 he had several solo gallery shows and numerous group exhibitions, and was also featured in a solo exhibit, Immigration to Integration at the Ventura County Museum of Art and History.In April 2011, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (MOCA) debuted the groundbreaking Art in the Streets exhibit at the Geffen Contemporary Art Museum in the Little Tokyo area of Los Angeles. After the opening, following complaints from local authorities of an increase in graffiti around the area of the Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo, the L.A. Times interviewed Smear once again: when asked about the exhibit, Gheorghiu said, "The 'Art in the Streets' exhibit or an exhibit like it had to come about around this time period, it would be a cultural crime if it hadn't". In media coverage about the 'Art in the Streets' exhibit, which is scheduled to show in Brooklyn, New York after its Los Angeles run, Smear has often been named and mentioned, so far as to be mentioned mistakenly as one of the featured artists in the exhibit by an Associated Press article from May 1, 2011. <mask> <mask> was the first artist to ever be showcased at the German government's Goethe Institute in Los Angeles, an exhibit that was on display from February 25, 2012, to March 10, 2012. In autumn of 2012, <mask> had an exhibit at the Azusa Pacific University. See also

<mask>' work in philosophy focused on the philosophy of religion, especially the problem of evil, philosophical theology, metaphysics, and medieval philosophy. Her work on the problem of evil largely focused on what she calls "horrendous evils". She was an avowed Christian universalist, believing that ultimately all will receive salvation and restoration in Christ:Traditional doctrines of hell err again by supposing either that God does not get what God wants with every human being ("God wills all humans to be saved" by God's antecedent will) or that God deliberately creates some for ruin.

 human beings have conducted their ante-mortem lives in such a way as to become anti-social persons.Almost none of us dies with all the virtues needed to be fit for heaven. Traditional doctrines of hell suppose that God lacks the will or the patience or the resourcefulness to civilize each and all of us, to rear each and all of us up into the household of God. They conclude that God is left with the option of merely human penal systems – viz., liquidation or quarantine! Personal life

title: Rudy Rotter

texts:
<mask> (1913–2001) was an American outsider and self-taught artist residing in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Raised in Milwaukee, he moved to Manitowoc after the War in the late 1940s to setup a dental practice. After settling in and starting a family, he embarked on a simultaneous career as an artist. In the following decades he produced a prodigious volume of art. Upon retiring from dentistry in 1987, Rotter moved his artwork from the basement of his office to a large 100-year-old warehouse. As the warehouse filled with art, it was transformed into the self-designated <mask>r Museum of Sculpture. Rotter created over 15,000 pieces of art over 45 years.Early Life of the Artist

<mask> grew up on the south side of Milwaukee in an Eastern European immigrant neighborhood as the youngest of six children. The family arrived at the turn of the last century, moving into a Polish-speaking neighborhood. There they built up seven small businesses before the Crash of 1929. Despite a setback during the Great Depression all the children achieved an education and entered the American mainstream. In high school, <mask> and his brother Peter became all-city football stars; an anomaly and special distinction for Jewish kids of their era. Rotter would later fashion his immigrant family experience into mythic-style tale which he then employed as the core conceptual structure of his art. Prior to artmaking, in the early 1950s Rotter first began exercising his creative impulses as an inventor.His most notable accomplishment was inventing the first sugarless chewing gum. Other small inventions followed, but none became mature enterprises. By

 1954 Rotter began to make art, a pursuit that would occupy all of his free time for the remainder of his life. Self-taught Outsider

As a self-taught artist Rotter worked outside of the norms and expectations of the traditional art community. Although generally aware of art history, he had no formal art training. Instead he relied upon his inner muse to provide the substance and style of his art. Commercial success was not a driver.Rather he possessed an inner compulsion to create, which he did every day for decades. Rotter's limited early involvement with art included a modeling stint for his sister's art classes while an athlete at the University of Wisconsin. In dental school in the early 1940s, he attended human anatomy classes which included dissection. This knowledge was leveraged decades later in his drawings and sculptures. Rotter was the paradox of an educated man who created naïve self-taught art. 15,000 Works of Art and the <mask>r Museum of Sculpture

Rotter believed that the practice of art required constant and diligent hard work and commitment, and through this effort would come forth meaningful art. His lifetime creation of 15,000 works of art gave him the designation as the most prolific artist in the state of Wisconsin and possibly the nation.His compulsive daily production eventually filled a 21,000 sq. ft. warehouse. This space became the self-designated <mask>r Museum of Sculpture. It was said this densely packed warehouse/museum was an art environment unto itself. Rotter's pieces range from large mahogany bas reliefs based on the Old-Testament, to miniature machetes of imagined temples, to

 seven-foot tall standing wood figures. He also created paintings on found and donated materials, small assemblages, and thousands of drawings with Japanese oil crayon, and later standard magic markers. After Rotter's passing, and due to structural problems with the building, the Museum was disassembled in 2011.The art was moved to another local location. In the process, a small portion of the collection was disseminated to various interested people and institutions in Wisconsin. The remaining art, which covered three floors of the warehouse was returned in 2015, but no longer set out in a curated and ordered state. Variety of Styles – Consistency of Theme

Rotter began sculpting at the age of 43, making half-size human figures in clay. By the late 1970s he was sculpting teak bas reliefs from hardwood scraps provided by a local yacht builder. At this same time he was making small machetes of imagined grand monuments. His eclectic style was born out of his constant drive to create and experiment.He used found and scavenged materials. These often suggested new forms, formats, and ideas. Unusual materials included his sister's old mink coat, scrap leather, shiny trophy factory discards, wallpaper samples, thrift shop finds, commercial paper scrap, and more. In his last decade he added drawn images on to photographic prints. Rotter employed a variety of styles over time. Although he expressed himself intuitively without preconceived notions of what he would produce, his work had a thematic consistency. Humanism - The Family of Man

 the <mask>r Museum of Sculpture; the scale and content of which fascinated and awed those who visited. From Early to Late Period

Rotter's Early Period (1958-1989) sculptures and drawings are most often composed of entwined and physically interrelating figures. The usually unclothed figures are without the standard cultural references to time and place. Thus they become expressions of universal humanity. With advancing age, Rotter's strength declined. This change lead to his Late Period (1990 – 2001) work when he transitioned from hard, heavy objects to light-weight materials.His supplies included collections of wallpaper samples, shiny metal trophy discards, commercial tile samples, and a variety of other found and thrift store acquired objects. This change of materials and a resulting more flexible manner of art making, lead to his works becoming increasingly abstract and playful. The drawings and multi-material plaques from this Late Period are basic images rendered quickly with efficient line and color. Each work is an interplay of literal subjects, boldly crafted materials, and abstract formats. The artistic merits of each piece are as important as the content. His last decade may have been his most innovative. Exhibition History

Beginning in 1958, <mask> began showing in local and state-wide locations, such as libraries, the Wisconsin State Fair, and local colleges.He donated work to public institutions throughout the City of Manitowoc. By 1978 he was in the exhibition entitled "Grass Roots Art: Wisconsin" at the Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He continued to show infrequently in small venues

 through the early 1990s. In 1996, the Kohler Foundation acquired 100 pieces of Rotter's art for their permanent collection. In 2003 his work was included in "Remembrance and Ritual: Jewish Folk Artists of Our Time" at the Andrew Edlin Gallery in New York. Later in 2004, his drawings made with magic markers on photographs and prints were shown in "Create and Be Recognized: Photography on the Edge" at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and published in a book of the same name. The Portrait Society Gallery presented Rotter's art in annual shows during his final decade.In 2019, the artist's work was displayed at the Outsider Art Fair in New York, and was featured in an article in the Folk Art Messenger's 2018 Fall/Winter edition. Various institutions have recently added Rotter's artwork to their permanent collections. These include the Kohler Foundation, INTUIT of Chicago, Museum of Wisconsin Art, Haggerty Museum of Art, University of Wisconsin Green Bay, Rahr West Art Museum, and the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. While <mask>r intermittently exhibited in small art shows, he believed his art was ignored at the level of recognition it deserved and was misunderstood by most. The Kohler Foundation acquisition near the end of his life provided the formal validation he long desired. The Magic of <mask>'s Art

The gallerist Debra Brehmer of the Portrait Society Gallery of Milwaukee, WI, succinctly summed up the experience of entering <mask>'s warehouse after his passing:

"To enter the warehouse, even in its present state, is to come in contact with a relentlessly committed spirit. Rotter

 believed that there was magic in the act of making things.To tap into these free forces of boundless potentiality, a realm without laws or limits, was to share in the fullest condition of humanity. The act of creating something, whether it was from a huge panel of mahogany or some cast off metal pieces from the local trophy factory, provided an avenue of access to a spiritually infused state. This is what unifies Rotter’s extraordinarily diverse body of work.For Rotter, it was clearly the act of making things that held the power, not necessarily the final "product" itself. Yet each piece acts a little like an icon or totem as it gently and often humorously emits material evidence of <mask>’s belief in creativity, hard-work and human intimacy. ‘Here,’ <mask> seems to be saying with each piece, ‘take this work of art and remember to value life.’"

He missed the final 6 games of the regular season with an injury, prior to his injury he was on pace for a 1200-yard season (66.6 yards per game).Ellingson appeared in all 3 of the Ti-Cats post-season games totaling 114 yards on 11 receptions, one of which was for a touchdown. The Tiger-Cats lost in the 101st Grey Cup to the Roughriders. His second season in the CFL was also cut short due to injury. Ellingson only managed to play in 7 of the 18 regular season games, and also missed out on the Tiger-Cats 2 playoff games. Ellingson managed to rack up 429 receiving yards on 32 catches. Ottawa Redblacks
Upon entering free agency, <mask> signed with the Ottawa Redblacks on February 11, 2015. Ellingson had an exceptional 2015 CFL season, setting career highs in every major category.He played in all 18 regular season games, catching 69 passes for 1,071 yards with 9 touchdowns. In the Eastern Final <mask> had a career day racking up 186 yards on 5 catches with 1 touchdown: His touchdown came with only 1:20 to

 go in the 4th quarter. On 2nd down and 25 from Ottawa's own 17 yard line, Burris flung the ball down the sideline where Ellingson caught the ball, evaded the defensive back, and ran all the way to the endzone for a 93-yard completion. The catch put the RedBlacks into their first ever Grey Cup game. <mask> had a career season in 2016. Ellingson set personal bests in receptions (76) and yards (1,260) and was named a CFL divisional All-Star for the first time in his career. As a pending free agent, Ellingson had a workout with the Chicago Bears of the NFL in mid-December 2016.Nevertheless, he agreed to a two-year contract with the Redblacks on February 10, 2017: The deal was reportedly worth $210,000 per season. <mask> had another strong season in 2017, finishing first in the league in receiving touchdowns with 12, and third in the league with 1,459 receiving yards. His 96 receptions that year was the most all-time by any of the Ottawa CFL clubs. His production was awarded when he was named a CFL All-Star for the first time in his five-year career. <mask> continued his strong play in 2018, catching 91 passes for 1,086 yards with 5 touchdowns. Following the season, on December 1, 2018, Ellingson was charged with failing to provide a breath sample. The Redblacks subsequently barred Ellingson from participating in team activities until they had time to investigate the matter.Edmonton Eskimos/Elks
Ellingson signed with Edmonton during the 2019 free agency period, after Ottawa General Manager Marcel Desjardins failed to contact him until free agency had opened, and

 tried to offer him less money than the previous season. Edmonton also signed quarterback Trevor Harris and offensive tackle SirVincent Rogers from Ottawa; Harris also had received little word from Desjardins, and had been involved in a contract dispute the previous season. <mask> continued his chemistry with Harris, recording his 5th consecutive season with at least 1,000 yards receiving, to go along with 5 more scores. Edmonton reached the Eastern Final as a crossover team, but were defeated. Nevertheless, <mask> was named a divisional All-Star, his first Western Division honours. <mask> did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season and re-signed with Edmonton on January 30, 2021. He played in ten regular season games where he had 47 receptions for 687 yards and one touchdown in 2021.He became a free agent upon the expiry of his contract on February 8, 2022. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
On February 8, 2022, it was announced that Ellingson had signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to a one-year contract. Career statistics

Early bands
While at Bothell High School in the early 1990s, Walla started a program called Open Microphone with creative writing teacher Laura Drumheller, as a noon-time forum for the arts, which allowed any student to take the stage and perform. Walla regularly performed at these shows, as well as serving as MC. One performance by Walla included a song by PJ Harvey. These early Open Microphone shows proved popular and continued for over twenty years, moving from Bothell High School to Inglemoor High School when teacher Drumheller transferred there. Walla was in a short-lived band called The Wallflowers (not to be confused with The Wallflowers of California). Later, in 2001, he was an early member of the Seattle band The Long Winters.Death Cab for Cutie
<mask> joined Death Cab for Cutie in 1997, while attending Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Eventually releasing seven albums, four EPs and two live EPs with the band, he co-wrote many of their hit songs, including "Title and Registration" and "I Will Possess Your Heart". On August 13, 2014, after 17 years with Death Cab for Cutie, <mask> decided to part ways with the band, stating that he plans to "...continue making music, producing records, and erring on the side of benevolence and beauty whenever possible." <mask>'s last performance with the band occurred on September 13, 2014 at the Rifflandia Music Festival in Victoria, British Columbia.

Before the release of Field Manual, it was reported that two tracks recorded for Death Cab for Cutie's 2005 album, Plans, would be featured, but this is unconfirmed.Some of <mask>'s solo work has been released using the name Martin Youth Auxiliary, such as a  cassette was released in 1999 on Elsinor Records. A solo instrumental album, titled Tape Loops, was released on October 16, 2015. Production
In addition to being a musician <mask> has a long career as producer, earning production, engineering, and mixing credits on over thirty albums and EPs. His first credit was as the producer for Death Cab for Cutie's debut album, Something About Airplanes, released in 1998. <mask> has produced all releases by Death Cab for Cutie to date, with the exceptions of Thank You For Today, Kintsugi and 1997's You Can Play These Songs with Chords EP, which was produced by Ben Gibbard. However, Walla earned production credits on the 2002 re-release of You Can Play These Songs with Chords, which featured 10 new songs. It was announced via Kelly Porter's Facebook Page Walla would be doing guitar work for her upcoming recording work.Studios
Walla founded his own recording studio, located within his home in Portland, Oregon, named the Alberta Court. Prior to moving to Portland, from 2000 to 2005, he was the owner/proprietor of Seattle recording studio, the Hall of Justice, where Death Cab for Cutie and many Pacific Northwest bands recorded over the years. In 2012, Walla began rebuilding the Hall of Justice after moving back to Seattle. Personal life

texts:
<mask> (9 October 1949 – 25 September 2016) was an English songwriter, musician, vocalist, and record producer. Temperton was the keyboardist and main songwriter for the 1970s pop music, disco, and funk band Heatwave, writing songs including "Always and Forever", "Boogie Nights", and "The Groove Line". After he was recruited by record producer Quincy Jones, he wrote several successful singles for Michael Jackson, including "Thriller", "Off the Wall", and "Rock with You". He also wrote songs for George Benson, including "Give Me the Night" and "Love X Love", along with Patti Austin and James Ingram's United States number-one single "Baby, Come to Me", among many others. Temperton wrote the soundtrack for the 1986 film Running Scared and won a Grammy Award in 1990 for his work on Birdland, from Quincy Jones's album Back on the Block. Biography

Early years
<mask> was born in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, on 9 October 1949. Interviewed for the BBC Radio 2 documentary 'The Invisible Man: the <mask> Story', Temperton said that he was a musician from an early age: "My father wasn't the kind of person who would read you a story before you went off to sleep.He used to put a transistor radio in the crib, right on the pillow, and I'd go to sleep listening to Radio Luxembourg, and I think that had an influence." Temperton attended De Aston Grammar School, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, and he formed a group for the school's music competitions. He was a drummer at this time. "I'd get in the living room with my snare drum and my cymbal and play along to the BBC test card, which was all kinds of music they'd be playing

 continuously." On leaving school, he started working as a fish filleter for Ross Frozen Foods in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. Heatwave
<mask> soon became a full-time musician as a keyboard player, and played in several dance bands. This took him to Worms in Germany.In 1974, he answered an advert in Melody Maker for a keyboardist, placed by Johnnie Wilder Jr., and as a result, became a member of the pop, disco, and funk band: Heatwave, which Wilder was putting together at the time. "He was the first British guy that I had ever met personally. He spoke kind of funny but he had a good sense of humour and he was a very friendly guy. After meeting him and then seeing him play I kind of determined he was a good enough player and entertainer and I just knew he would fit in the group", said Wilder. Temperton played Wilder tunes he had been composing: "I was very interested because we were doing a lot of cover tunes – we weren't doing a lot of original material – I was really interested." The songs provided material for 1976's Too Hot to Handle including "Boogie Nights", which broke the band in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA), and the ballad "Always and Forever"; both tracks were million-sellers in the USA. Despite the slick American sound, Temperton's working surroundings were still far from glamorous.Alan Kirk, a Yorkshire musician with Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, who toured with Heatwave in the mid 1970s, remembered: "The Always and Forever track was written on a Wurlitzer piano at the side of a pile of pungent washing – sorry to disappoint all the romantics". And producer Barry

 Blue recalled: "He had a very small flat, so everything had to be done within one room and he had piles of washing, and had the T.V. on top of the organ. It was a nightmare [...] he had trams running outside [...] but he made it, he just absorbed himself in the music and <mask> seemed to come up with these amazing songs." In 1977, Heatwave followed up the success of its first album with its second, Central Heating, with Barry Blue again producing, and Temperton behind the majority of the songs. It included "The Groove Line", another international hit single. In 1978, Temperton decided to concentrate on writing, and left Heatwave, though he continued to write for the band.Songs written for Michael Jackson
<mask>'s work attracted the attention of Quincy Jones, and he asked his engineer Bruce Swedien to check out the Heatwave album. "Holy cow! I simply loved <mask>'s musical feeling – everything about it – <mask>'s arrangements, his tunes, his songs – was exceedingly hip", recalled Swedien, also calling Temperton: "the most disciplined pop music composer I've ever met. When he comes to the studio, every musical detail is written down or accounted for in <mask>'s mind. He never stops until he feels confident that the music we're working on is able to stand on its own." In 1979, <mask> was recruited by Quincy Jones to write for what became Michael Jackson's first solo album in four years, and his first full-fledged solo release for Epic Records, titled Off the Wall. Temperton wrote three songs for the album, including "Rock with You", which became the second US number 1 single from the album.In the early

 1980s, <mask> left Germany and moved to Beverly Hills, California. In 1982, <mask> wrote three songs, including the title track, for Jackson's next LP, Thriller, which became the biggest-selling album of all time in the United States, selling 32 million copies. Temperton also wrote the spoken word section of the song for the actor Vincent Price. On coming up with the title "Thriller", Temperton once said:

Other songwriting successes
Temperton wrote successfully for other musicians, his hits including disco classic "Stomp!" for The Brothers Johnson; George Benson's "Give Me the Night"; "Baby, Come to Me" for Patti Austin and James Ingram; "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)" for Donna Summer; and "Yah Mo B There" for James Ingram and Michael McDonald. He also wrote for Herbie Hancock, The Manhattan Transfer, Mica Paris, Rufus and Chaka Khan, and many others. Film work
In 1982, Temperton wrote the music to Someone in the Dark, recorded by Michael Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones, for the movie E.T.the Extra-Terrestrial, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. In 1986, <mask> was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Miss Celie's Blues (Sister)," which he wrote with Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie for The Color Purple film of 1985. (Richie won the award for "Say You, Say Me", from White Nights.) He was also nominated for Best Original Score, along with the 11 other composers, including Jones, who worked on The Color Purple's soundtrack. Later in 1986, the buddy-cop action-comedy Running Scared was released, featuring five new songs written by Temperton, including "Sweet

 Freedom", performed by Michael McDonald; and "Man Size Love", performed by Klymaxx. Temperton also composed the film's score. Personal life and death
After leaving Heatwave to concentrate on his songwriting, <mask> shunned the celebrity lifestyle, and remained a very private man.Due to his low profile, <mask> was nicknamed 'The Invisible Man'. He died on 25 September 2016 after "a brief aggressive battle with cancer", as quoted by Jon Platt of Warner/Chappell music publishing. His death would be announced a week later on 5 October 2016, with his private funeral having already taken place. Gilles Peterson, a BBC radio presenter, paid tribute to Temperton on Twitter: "Apart from Lennon and McCartney no one from the UK has written more gold plated songs than Sir <mask>ton... a huge loss. RIP". Temperton is survived by his wife Kathy. They had homes in Los Angeles, the south of France, Fiji, Switzerland, and Kent in southeast England.References

<mask> is a chemical engineer known for contributions to separations, cryogenic gas separation and liquefaction, and for contributions to renewable energy including the conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuels, inorganic solar cell fabrication, and the synergistic use of solar energy. He is the Winthrop E. Stone Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. Career
<mask> received a B. Tech. in chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, India, in 1975; a M. Ch.E. from the University of Delaware in 1977, and an Sc.D. in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1980.In 1980, he joined Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., where he was appointed to Air Products Fellow. In 2002, <mask> was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the development and worldwide implementation of high-efficiency and high-purity cryogenic and non-cryogenic gas separation processes. Contributions to Separations and Gas Liquefaction
While at Air Products and Chemicals, <mask> made contributions that have improved the efficiency of natural gas liquefaction, electronic gases manufacturing, cryogenic processing and gas separation. He led the development of the APX process for natural gas liquefaction that more than doubled the production from a single train. For semiconductor applications, <mask> invented Column-Plus and Double Column-Plus ultra high purity (UHP) nitrogen and UHP liquid oxygen processes that reduce product impurities to less than one part per billion. He invented an efficient process to recover refrigeration from liquefied natural gas to produce liquid nitrogen and oxygen. <mask> introduced several firsts in the arena of separations using distillation.For multicomponent separations, he introduced a new class of satellite column arrangements and a new

texts: superstructure that completed the set of basic column configurations available for distillation. He discovered a solution to the long-standing problem of making highly energy efficient thermally coupled columns operable by making vapor flow between columns unidirectional. <mask> presented a generalized framework to convert classical two-way thermal coupling to one-way liquid only transfer, thereby eliminating the challenge involved with the intercolumn vapor transfer between the thermally coupled distillation columns. This enabled the creation of multi-effect distillation analogs of thermally-coupled distillation columns resulting in a further potential for up to 50% reduction in the energy consumption of the already efficient thermally coupled configuration. Contrary to the assumption that fully thermally coupled systems are the most energy efficient among the basic configurations, <mask> showed that the thermodynamic efficiency of this system can often be worse than the other configurations. In 2001, for process intensification, he introduced a number of dividing wall column schemes including ones for side rectifier and side stripper configurations. In 2003, <mask> extended the concept of using dividing wall columns for batch distillation.Later his team introduced a new class of dividing wall columns and a generalized method to draw the corresponding dividing wall column for any given thermally coupled configuration. First, he led the development of the Shah and <mask> method to elucidate all feasible basic n-1 distillation column configurations for the separation of an n-component non-azeotropic mixture with n greater than 3, and then in collaboration with professor Mohit Tawarmalani, developed optimization methods to rank-list these thousands to millions of configurations according to their heat duty, exergy, and cost. <mask> has also published methods to draw

 membrane cascades using a limited number of compressors for high recovery of products at high purity. In analogy to multicomponent distillation configurations, he introduced membrane cascade schemes for multi-component gas separation. These membrane cascades can also be utilized for liquid separations by replacing compressors with pumps. Contributions to Renewable Energy
Since joining Purdue University in 2004, <mask> has focused on creating more energy-efficient and low-cost processes for generating renewable energy. He has outlined novel biomass conversion processes in which no biomass carbon is left unconverted to fuel.He suggested: (i) use of H2 from a renewable energy source in processes such as H2 CAR, and (ii) an H2Bioil process with biomass hydropyrolysis at a high pressure followed by immediate downstream hydrodeoxygenation to yield high energy density oil in two simple steps. The H2Bioil process was successfully demonstrated through experiments and several companies have adapted the process and its variations. <mask> has proposed methods for the solution-based fabrication of thin-film inorganic solar cells. For the nanoparticle ink-based route, his group achieved the highest inorganic solar cell efficiencies for Cu2Zn(Sn,Ge)Se4 (9.4%) and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (15%). His team was the first to synthesize (1) Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles and tailor the bandgap of Cu2ZnSnSe4 through partial substitution of Sn with Ge, and Cu with Ag; and (2) promising Cu3AsS4 and their thin films for solar cells. <mask> and his team devised an integrated solar thermal power cycle with daytime coproduction of hydrogen and electricity along with H2 storage followed by nighttime combustion of stored H2 using water as a working fluid to supply electricity around the clock with calculated overall sun to electricity efficiencies of 34% to 45%. This cycle stores energy with efficiencies similar

<mask> (née Thompson; September 25, 1887 – June 27, 1968) was an American Fauvist painter, textile artist, and graphic designer, and was an early exponent of modernism in America. She won the 1920 Logan Medal of the Arts. Early life

<mask> was born in Santa Rosa, California. Her father, a lawyer for Napa Valley vineyards, and mother were descended from New England seafarers and Pennsylvania Quakers. While she was young, the family moved to Fresno and it was there that she began her education. She started to draw at a very young age and her parents provided her with an education that was heavily influenced by the liberal arts, including music lessons in elementary school, and four years of Latin at Fresno High School. She was one of a small group of women admitted to Stanford University in 1908.Career

Paris and travel

While at Stanford, Thompson continued to show aptitude for art, and rather than completing her degree, she traveled to France at the invitation of her aunt, Harriet Adelaide Harris. <mask> visited the Salon d'Automne the very day that she arrived in Paris. Here, she saw many works by Henri Matisse and André Derain, known as the Fauvists, or Wild Beasts. The Fauvists became known for their use of arbitrary colors and spontaneous, instinctive brushwork. Thompson's encounters with these works had a strong impact on her. It was the intention of her aunt that Thompson attend the École des Beaux-Arts, but Thompson was turned away as she had never drawn a nude from life. Harris then attempted to have Thompson enrolled at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, to study under the academic painter Francis Auburtin.Thompson had no interest in the formulas of academic painting and instead she chose to attend the post-impressionist school Académie de La Palette, where she studied under John Duncan Fergusson and Jacques-Emile Blanche. The academy encouraged her to

 pursue her own interests and paint in a style that was uniquely her own. She exhibited at the 1910 Société des Artistes Indépendants, and the 1911 Salon d'Automne, both renowned for their modernist themes. While in Paris, she socialized with Pablo Picasso, ex-patriate Gertrude Stein, Henri Rousseau, and Henri Matisse through her "Aunt Addie's" connections. At the Académie de La Palette, she first met her future husband and artistic collaborator, <mask>. William admired her passionate individuality, and he said of her modernist Fauvist artwork "I just couldn't understand why such a nice girl would paint such wild pictures." After Paris, she took a lengthy tour of the world with her aunt in 1911–12.They visited Jerusalem, Egypt, India, Burma, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Hawaii. Impressed with the foreign places she had seen and eager to write about her experiences, she sent articles to her childhood newspaper, the Fresno Morning Republican. This trip would also have a huge effect on her art, influencing her to paint even more abstractly than she had in the past, sometimes even completely flat. She also began to produce brightly colored Fauvist landscapes with thick black outlines. The trip ended with a return to California in 1912. Return to the US and marriage

After Thompson returned to Fresno, she spent July and August in the mountains to the north-east of Fresno around Big Creek and Shaver Lake. The lower Sierra Nevada mountains appealed to her because of their immensity and natural beauty.Ultimately, her parents' disapproval of her artistic pursuits would end her time there and cause her to destroy a large amount of her work. Upon her return to the US, she exhibited in Fresno and Los Angeles. Soon, she moved to New York City and married <mask> the same day, December 24, 1912. The couple immediately began to collaborate artistically. Both entered artwork in the

 1913 Armory Show. Their success continued as both were invited to participate in the 1916 Forum Exhibition of Modern American Painters. It was at this time that William and <mask> began to experiment with other art forms such as poetry.<mask> gave birth to a son, Tessim <mask>, in 1915, and a daughter, Dahlov <mask>, in 1917. Eventually, the pair settled in Greenwich Village and fondly called their house the "Post-Impressionist" studio. It became a meeting place of sorts, reminiscent of small salons in Paris for artists to collaborate and share ideas. At <mask>'s insistence the family spent the summers in the countryside of New England. In 1922, they visited Gaston Lachaise at Georgetown, Maine, and later bought a house. They were friends with Marsden Hartley, F. Holland Day, Gertrude Kasebier, and Paul Strand. <mask> also served as the president of the modernist New York Society of Women Artists in the mid-1920s.Summer in Yosemite
One of <mask> and William's most influential summers was in 1920 when they spent the summer in Yosemite Valley, painting the landscape. The couple, with their family, hiked, sketched, and painted the beautiful national park in the Fauvist style. The trip greatly moved the two, and themes from the trip would appear in many of their later works, including <mask>'s works Memories of my California Childhood (1921) and Nevada Falls, Yosemite Valley, California (1920). Textile art

After the birth of their daughter, <mask> found that working with textiles would allow her to give more attention to her children. While both William and <mask> experimented with textile art, <mask> was more prolific and better-known for her work. She created mainly embroideries or batiks that stylistically resembled her Fauvist paintings. Her embroideries were first shown in New York in 1918, to a positive response.Using textiles as a medium followed the modernist

 patterns of the turn of the century as new art became increasingly less narrative. It broke down the barriers between crafts and fine art, and William and <mask>'s collaboration broke down gender barriers. Her works were popular and interesting to the public, but art critics gave them mixed reviews because of the low status of embroidery within the fine arts. Today they are celebrated for their feminist subjects and innovative style. <mask>'s first exhibition was at Charles David's gallery in New York. Many times the sales of <mask>'s textiles are what kept the family from poverty. Zorach also took great delight in making clothes for her husband and children, although they were not always the conventional style of the times.Later years and death

<mask> continued to be a prolific artist until the end of her life. In later years, she worked for the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. Her 1938 oil-on-canvas mural in the lobby at the Peterborough, New Hampshire post office, entitled New England Post in Winter, showed her modernist talent. In 1940, she completed the mural Autumn for the WPA in Ripley, Tennessee. <mask> also taught at Columbia University. Later in life, she suffered from macular degeneration in her eyes. This greatly inhibited her ability to produce textiles, however she was able to continue painting.She died in New York in 1968. While Zorach was an impressive and prolific artist, it was not until after her death that she received the same recognition as her husband. She was a talented painter who was influential in progressing artistic Modernism in the United States. Many art historians consider her the "First Woman Artist of California."

title: Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim

texts:
<mask> (born January 23, 1961) is a Nigerian politician and businessman. He was the National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), a Nigerian political party. The PDM, which initially started out as a movement formed in the wake of Nigerians' agitation for a democratic governance, was denied registration as an official political party by the Abacha regime. Upon the Nigeria's return to democracy in 1999, the movement, hence, formed a major building block of what would become Nigeria's ruling party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP). After years of running the country's affairs and a seeming disconnect between what had been envisioned and what had, in fact, been achieved by the PDP, some members of the PDM decided to leave the PDP and register the movement as a party, so that it could abide by the ideals which guided its formation. The PDM was, thus, registered as a political party in 2013, with <mask> as its first National Chairman. Mentored by the late Aminu Kano, Bashir has had a public service career spanning several decades, serving in various capacities including that of Special Adviser to both President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice-President Atiku Abubakar at varying stages of their tenures, and on several committees including the Justice Niki Tobi Committee on the 1999 Constitution, among others.He is a fellow of the Nigerian Leadership Initiative and the Aspen Institute. He is also a Member of Institute of Directors, Nigeria. Early life and family background
<mask> <mask> was born on January 23, 1961, to Alhaji <mask> and Hajjiya Khadija Usman. Both parents came from renowned Islamic clerical families. His maternal uncle, Sheikh Tijjani Usman, with whom Bashir was quite close as a child, was one of the best known scholars in

texts: West Africa until his death in a road accident in 1970. Initially the third of six children, Bashir became the first son of the family after he lost his elder brothers to a measles epidemic which hit the city of Kano in the early 1960s. By the time his father died in July 1982, he was one of the fourteen children his father left behind.Bashir was brought up in a typical African Muslim home in a polygamous family with his mother being the first of four wives. His father, Alhaji <mask>, was an itinerant businessman who travelled through Africa, dealing in ivory and precious metals and ran a transport business in former Zaire, now Democratic Republic of the Congo. Alhaji <mask> was also a polyglot, learning to speak several African languages during his many extended business trips, and one of the African foreigners and businessmen deported from the Congo in 1972 during the regime of Mobutu Sese Seko. Despite his long periods of absence, often spending several months away from their Kano home, Bashir's father, himself being the eldest male in the extended family, ensured that his children had a sheltered upbringing under the watchful eyes of several uncles. Bashir's father was a strict disciplinarian who was especially concerned about the company that his children kept, and due to his father's strict nature, Bashir had few friends growing up. Bashir looked up to Mallam Aminu Kano of NEPU and PRP fame, and due to his closeness to one of Aminu Kano's nephews who was his classmate. He visited the Aminu Kano home often, interacting with his mentor and role model and gaining insight into the politics of the day.Aminu Kano was revered for his role in challenging the structure of power in Northern Nigeria as well as traditional norms and traditions and

 childhood friend, Awwalu Anwar, organised a youth protest to challenge the disqualification. The protest, however, mutated into a citywide riot which lasted for several days. Later he was to become a Students Union activist and the first Deputy Senate President of National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS.In 1986, Bashir was detained at the interrogation centre run by NSO, Nigeria's secret police, on Awolowo Road in Lagos. He was later transferred to Shagamu prison in Ogun State between August and December 1986, where he spent most of his time in a hospital bed after he fell sick due to poor conditions and ill treatment. He was detained under Decree 2 by the military dictatorship of General <mask> for leading a nationwide one-million-signature campaign to force the military to release his former boss, governor Abubakar Rimi of Kano State, and other political prisoners, who were jailed by military tribunals, some of whom were serving long prison terms of three hundred years and even more. Twenty-five other leaders of the signature campaign were detained along with him, including three former members of the House of Representatives and the former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido. Family life
Bashir married his first wife in 1986, a few months before graduation, after meeting her a year earlier in the university. She succumbed to cancer after several years of treatment. His second marriage lasted four years.He has been happily married to his current wife since 1999. Bashir has seven children, with ages ranging from 26 years to 7 years old. His eldest child is an information security specialist at one of Nigeria's largest financial institutions. Public service and professional career

He, however, lost out at the party primaries, which were marred with allegations of rigging. After failing to clinch the senatorial nomination, he was called upon to step in as the National Coordinator of the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Presidential Campaign due to the sudden departure of the substantive coordinator abroad for medical treatment. When the incumbent president, Obasanjo, won the party primaries, Bashir chose to assume a neutral position since he did not support the president's candidacy. Nonetheless, he was again appointed a member of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Campaign in which he played a rather passive role. After the elections had been won, he was appointed as a Special Assistant to Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on National Assembly and, later, on Political Matters, a job he kept until 2006 when he, again, resigned.Bashir went on to become the founding secretary of the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD), which was formed to fight President Obasanjo's third-term agenda. The MRD later closed ranks with the Movement for the Defense of Democracy (MDD) to form the Movement for the Restoration and Defense of Democracy (MRDD). Realizing that he could not be part of government while working in the opposition, Bashir turned in his resignation and left the PDP in 2006. MRDD, however, had a few leadership challenges and could not gain traction quickly. Some members, including Bashir, decided to move on to form a proper political party, and the Action Congress (AC) was born. <mask> also emerged as the founding secretary of the AC, running the secretariat with the support of

He served in various capacities within the Action Congress, including interim national secretary, secretary of the constitution drafting committee, secretary of the manifesto drafting committee, secretary of the national launching committee, and of the committee on distribution and zoning of national offices.He also contested for the office of the substantive National Secretary of Action Congress but, instead of opening the office to contest, some leaders of the party decided to forgo internal democracy and proceeded to allot the office to Jigawa State in order to favour a particular candidate. Subsequently, <mask> was appointed the Director of Administration and Logistics of the Action Congress Presidential Campaign. The AC presidential candidate was his former boss, Atiku Abubakar, and while the campaign was brilliantly executed, Atiku's presidential bid was not successful due, reportedly, to his ongoing fight with his boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo, over his tenure elongation plan, the many court cases he had to pursue and the quality of the elections when they eventually held. After results were announced, Umaru Musa Yaradua – who was declared winner under very controversial circumstances – announced that he would run a government of national unity. This announcement divided the ranks of the Action Congress, with those who wanted the government of national unity decamping to the ruling PDP and the few who wanted to maintain a vibrant opposition remaining in the AC. Bashir held on to the AC for a while longer, but upon realizing that key figures who had chosen to remain in the party were actually working with President Yar’adua as well in order to further their personal interests,
