The Heinz Foundation noted that Nature's Services "has served as a model for ecosystems regulation in several regions of the world and was a catalyst for the U.N.'s Millennium Ecosystem Assessment."After 7 years as a research scientist, <mask> was appointed as an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and as a senior fellow at the Institute of International Studies (both at Stanford University) in 2002. In 2002, Daily published the book The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to Make Conservation Profitable with Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Katherine Ellison. She has since published a dozen further books, including The Power of Trees (2012) and One Tree (2018) with Charles J. Katz, Green Growth that Works: Natural Capital Policy and Finance Mechanisms from Around the World (2019) with Lisa Mandle, Zhiyun Ouyang, and James Salzman, and Rural Livelihood and Environmental Sustainability in China (2020) with Jie Li, Shuzhuo Li, and Marcus Feldman. In 2005, Daily was appointed as the Bing Professor of Environmental Science in the Department of Biology at Stanford University, a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and was made the director of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford University. As of 2020, Daily serves in all three of these positions. In 2005, Daily (the project leader from Stanford), along with partners at The Nature Conservancy, and World Wildlife Fund, established the Natural Capital Project. The organization's stated goal is to "improve the well-being of people and our planet by motivating targeted investments in nature."In later years, the core partnership expanded to include the University of Minnesota, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Stockholm Resilience Center, together with over three hundred collaborating institutions.

Research
Daily's academic profile at the Center for Conservation Biology states that "Daily’s scientific research is on countryside biogeography and the future dynamics of biodiversity change." In an interview, Daily remarked that "'Countryside biogeography' is a new conceptual framework for elucidating the fates of populations, species, and ecosystems in ‘countryside’ – the growing fraction of Earth's unbuilt land surface whose ecosystem qualities are strongly influenced by humanity."Using findings from research done in countryside biogeography, <mask>, and researchers like her, is attempting to determine what "species are most important and most merit protection" and "what is the scientific basis for deciding" the relative importance of species within a given ecosystem. When asked "which species/systems most merit protection?" <mask> responded that she is "actively attempting to link projected changes in biodiversity and ecosystems to changes in 'services' to humanity." She went on to cite "production of goods," "life-support processes,"  "life-fulfilling conditions" and "options (genetic diversity for future use)" as the services that ecosystems/species provide for people. As one of the co-founders of the Natural Capital Project, <mask> employs her research practically by working "with private landowners, economists, lawyers, business people, and government agencies to incorporate environmental issues into business practice and public policy."

<mask>. (born December 30, 1934), nicknamed The Golden Boy, <mask>, The Elmhurst Express and Fearless <mask>, is a former NASCAR driver from Elmhurst, Illinois. Active from 1958 to 1972, he won 26 races including 1965 Daytona 500. Early life
<mask> was 15 years of age when he and his Elmhurst, Illinois friends competed in a contest to see who could flip a 1937 Plymouth over first by cranking it around in circles. Lorenzen claimed to be the victor of that confrontation. NASCAR

Early career
After graduating from high school, <mask> began racing modifieds and late models, and made his NASCAR debut in 1956 at Langhorne Speedway, finishing 26th after suffering a broken fuel pump, winning $25. He moved to a USAC stock car, and won the 1958 and 1959 championships driving his Talarico Bros. built Chevrolet. The Holman Moody Years

On Christmas Eve 1960, Lorenzen received a phone call from team owner Ralph Moody that would change his career.Moody asked <mask> about becoming his team's lead driver. A surprised Lorenzen accepted, albeit curious as to what he'd done to fulfill Moody's criteria to be part of his team. In 1961, <mask> began winning races in what would become a remarkable career. For five years from 1961 till 1966, <mask> dominated NASCAR like few other drivers ever would winning many major races and defeating the best drivers of his day. In his maiden season with Holman Moody, Lorenzen won: the Grand National 200 at Martinsville; the Rebel 300 at Darlington and the Festival 250 at Atlanta. There was no doubt that Lorenzen would

 challenge the all-time greats for the top prizes in NASCAR. <mask>'s winning streak (1962–1967)

In 1962, <mask> won the Atlanta 500 and a race at Augusta Speedway.The 1962 Ford was troubled at the start of the season by inferior aerodynamics, a serious problem that was rectified with a more streamlined roof halfway into the season. In 1963, <mask> soared to the top and became the top money-winner and the first to break the $100,000 barrier in one season. In that amazing year, <mask> won:  the Atlanta 500, the World 600; the Volunteer 500, the Western North Carolina 500; the Mountaineer 300 and the Old Dominion 500 bringing his total winnings to $122,000. In 1964, Lorenzen won:  the Southeastern 500 at Bristol; the Atlanta 500; the Gwyn Staley 400 at North Wilkesboro; the Virginia 500 at Martinsville; the Rebel 300 at Darlington; the Volunteer 500; the Old Dominion 500 and the National 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway;  six of those races are current "classics" on the Sprint Cup Circuit as of 2013. In 1965 Lorenzen won:  the Daytona 500; the Virginia 500; the World 600 and the National 400. In 1966 Lorenzen won:  the Old Dominion 500 and the American 500 at Rockingham, North Carolina. In 1967 Lorenzen won:  the Daytona 500 Qualifier (until 1971, the races currently called the Budweiser Duels were points races).<mask> compiled an amazing record of wins that clearly made him the dominant driver of NASCAR during a very significant portion of its Golden Era.

 Johnson-owned No. 26 Ford due to the Ford boycott of NASCAR for much of the 1966 season, and it is still one of the most talked about vehicles in NASCAR Grand National Competition to this day. The front end of the car was sloped downward, the roofline was lowered, the side windows were narrowed and the windshield was lowered in an aerodynamic position, and the tail was kicked up. Several rival drivers referred to it as "The Yellow Banana," "Junior's Joke," and "The Magnafluxed Monster." Even though it was against the rules NASCAR allowed the car to compete and <mask> crashed while leading the Dixie 500 on the 139th lap. One pit crew member said after the incident "No wonder" he said, "I ain't never seen anybody who could drive a banana at 150 mile an hour."NASCAR let this very illegal car run in only one race, in an attempt to bring up attendance, which had suffered due to the Ford boycott. Comeback
He came back in 1970, driving a Dodge Daytona prepared by Ray Fox in the World 600 (now the Coca-Cola 600), but dropped out while leading on lap 252 of 400 due to engine issues, running in a few more events that year, including substituting for LeeRoy Yarbrough in the Junior Johnson No. 98 Ford Torino Talladega in that year's Southern 500, as Yarbrough had a prior Indy car commitment. In 1971, he moved over to the Ray Nichels/Paul Goldsmith owned No. 99 Plymouth, sponsored by STP. He left that team part way through the season, and was badly injured in a practice crash while trying to drive for the Wood Brothers prior to the Southern 500. In

<mask> now lives in assisted living in a suburb of Chicago surrounded by his family. In his heyday from 1962–65, <mask> was the top driver in NASCAR. On the super speedways, <mask> defeated all of his competition to compile an unprecedented streak of wins in major races. Racing for money instead of points, <mask> never competed for the annual Sprint Cup, but he won the big races that made him the uncrowned King of NASCAR during its golden years. <mask>'s countless fans waited for a long time for <mask>'s brilliant career to be recognized with his induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

<mask> (February 23, 1885October 27, 1944) was a career officer in the United States Army. He attained the rank of major general and was prominent for serving in several United States Army Air Forces command positions during World War II. Early life and start of career
<mask><mask> was born in Charleston, South Carolina on February 23, 1885, while his father, Erasmus M<mask>., was assigned to The Citadel as a Professor of Military Science. The younger <mask> attended the Virginia Military Institute in preparation for a military career. He left after his third year in order to accept an appointment to the United States Military Academy. He graduated in 1908, received his commission as a second lieutenant in the Infantry, and was assigned to the 11th Infantry Regiment at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. <mask>'s subsequent assignments included: The 28th Infantry Regiment at Fort Snelling, Minnesota; Aide-de-camp to Brigadier General Eli D. Hoyle in the Philippines; and the 15th Infantry Regiment in Tientsin, China.Upon returning to the United States in 1915, <mask> carried out assignments at Columbus Barracks, Ohio and Fort Thomas, Kentucky. World War I
At the beginning of World War I <mask> transferred to the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, and was initially assigned as Commandant of Flying Cadets at Wilbur Wright Field, Ohio, receiving promotion to major. <mask> was subsequently assigned as the first commander of the Aviation Mechanical School in St. Paul, Minnesota. While en route, he learned that 500 students were already traveling to the site, but that the school was being formed so quickly that there were no plans for housing, feeding or instructional facilities. Within two days, he had secured the use of a Willys-Overland factory building via a verbal agreement with the company president, cleared the site of over 3,000 stored automobiles using volunteer labor, and supervised the installation of bunks, classrooms and mess halls. On the third day after his arrival, the school was operational and the arriving students were able to begin their instruction as scheduled. He continued in

After the war <mask> was assigned as Chief of the Supply Group in the Office of the Director of the Army Air Service. In 1920 and 1921 he completed flight training at Kelly Field, Texas, and March Field, California, and received his qualification as a pilot. In 1922 <mask> was assigned to command of Mitchel Field, New York. This site had become rundown as the result of budget cutbacks and force reductions following the war. <mask> supervised an overhaul, and within a year, buildings had been repaired, hangars had floors installed,  and aircraft parking ramps and aprons had been paved. <mask>'s assignments following Mitchel Field included command of Hanscom Field, Massachusetts, Middletown Air Depot, Pennsylvania, and Maxwell Field, Alabama. He graduated from the Army Industrial College in 1932, and then served as Chief of the Plans Division and Chief of the Information Division in the Office of the Chief of the Air Corps.In 1934 he was assigned to New York City as the Procurement Planning Representative of the Air Corps. In 1935 the Air Corps created a separate headquarters at Langley Field, Virginia, and <mask> was assigned as Inspector General. From 1937 to 1939 he was the commander of Langley Field. <mask> was assigned to command of the Air Corps Tactical School at Maxwell Field in 1939. In this position he was responsible for developing doctrine and tactical training for pilots and air crews in advance of World War II. World War II
In 1940 the Army Air Forces began to expand in preparation for war and <mask> was assigned to command the Southeast Air Corps Training Center at Maxwell Field, receiving promotion to brigadier general. In this assignment he oversaw the training of thousands of pilots and flight crew members who served in all theaters of the war.In July, 1941 <mask> was promoted to major general. <mask> was the acting Chief of the Air Corps from December 1941 until March 1942. As acting Chief he supervised

 completion of a reorganization and expansion plan for the Air Corps, including its re-designation as the Army Air Forces. This reorganization included the creation of the First Technical Training District (later Eastern Technical Training Command) in South Carolina, which <mask> was assigned to command. As part of his effort to create basic training centers and officer candidate schools for new recruits, <mask> arranged for the use of resort hotels in Atlantic City, Miami Beach, St. Petersburg, and Chicago, arguing successfully that these facilities, then being underused because people were unable to take vacations during the war, were the only ones that were vacant and large enough for the needs of the military. In July 1943 <mask>'s health began to fail as the result of overexertion required by his wartime command, and he was retired for physical disability. He then continued to aid the war effort as a consultant with the Aviation Corporation, a manufacturer of airplanes and airplane parts.Death and burial

title: Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski

texts:
<mask> (29 May 1816 – 1 August 1889) was a Croatian historian, politician and writer, most famous for the first speech delivered in Croatian before the Parliament. Considered a renowned patriot, Kukuljević was a proponent of Illyrian movement and avid collector of historical documents, primarily those for his work in Croatian historiography and bibliography. Early life
Kukuljević was born in Maruševec near Varaždin. His family originates from Rama in Bosnia. He was also a distant relative of Grgo Martić, a Bosnian Franciscan. <mask> completed his secondary education in gymnasiums in his hometown and in Zagreb. He went to the Military Academy of Krems.As a student, Kukuljević started writing in German. In 1833, he joined the army and became an officer in Vienna three years later. He met Ljudevit Gaj and joined the Illyrian movement in 1837. He was ordered to move to Milan in 1840. In 1842, he resigned from his military duties and returned to Croatia, joining the political fight against Magyarization and censorship. He became one of the leaders of the Illyrian movement. Politician
Kukuljević was a member of the People's Party, and was one of its leading members as early as 1843.The political activity of Kukuljević can be separated into two periods: until 1850 and from 1860 to 1867. The gap from 1851 to 1860 was caused by the absolutism instituted by Minister Bach, which repressed political life in Croatia. In the first period, he was a partisan of the liberation of Croatia from Austria and Hungary, an uncompromising ideologue promoting revolutionary actions to achieve the unity of

texts: the South Slavs. Believing that the South Slavs can be delivered and unified only by force of arms, he lobbied among the Croats and Serbs at the Military Frontier. Swayed by his personality, the frontiersmen asked for the freedom and unity of the South Slav peoples in their People's Requests of spring 1848, referring to him as their inspiration. <mask> <mask> was the first to make a speech in Croatian before the Croatian Parliament, on May 2, 1843. The speech daringly promoted the struggle for national liberation, asking for Croatian to become the official language in schools and offices, with its gradual introduction in the public life.He also pointed out the danger of replacing Croatian with other languages. Until then, the language of discourse in the parliament was Latin. The speech caused much agitation. It was not an exception, though. All his speeches in the parliament and at county assemblies staunchly advocated the freedom and independence of Croatia, so they could be published only in Branislav, an illegal Illyrian magazine printed in Belgrade. On Kukuljević's urging, the parliament passed the decision to make Croatian the official language in 1847. He became the chief judge of the Varaždin County in 1845.During the Revolutions of 1848, Kukuljević was among the radical democrats. Under his influence, the ban Josip Jelačić convened the Croatian Parliament on June 5, 1848, opposing the explicit imperial order. Kukuljević also initiated the Slavic Congress in Prague. But the revolutions were crushed; imperial oppression set in. Kukuljević was removed from politics and

<mask> (born 1978) is an Italian visual artist best known for her installations, performances and video. Early life and education
She graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples in 2002, she attended the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam in 2010–2011. Back in 2000 she was selected for the Advanced Course in Visual Art at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como. The visiting professor was Ilya Kabakov. Career
<mask> focuses on social and political events which sometimes have happened in the distant past and become the starting point for the investigation of individual or collective identity and memory. Her methodology is based on a meticulous preliminary research into archival materials such as found documents, audio recordings or newspapers documenting stories and events which have been forgotten by history. She uses archive materials to underline the loss of information, the ambiguity of reconstructions and their possible uses as well.<mask> is interested in the potentiality of new narrations when they start circulating again through her artworks. With Le Teste in Oggetto (The Heads in Question, 2009) the artist analyzes the relations between art and power raising questions about the status of contemporary artists and their degree of intellectual and conceptual autonomy. The sculpture consists of the heads of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and Benito Mussolini, which were found by the artist in the storerooms of the Palazzo degli Uffici in the EUR district in Rome. The sculptures were created for the Esposizione universale (1942) which never took place because of Italy's involvement in World

Doing so, the artist radically reversed their original meaning: rather than celebratory monuments, they became the focus of reflection and discussion. In her work Il Processo (The Trial, 2010–12) she focuses on the April 7th trial (1983–84), against the members of Autonomia Operaia.The trial was held in the Aula Bunker in Rome, a high-security courthouse, which hosted the most important trials of the period known as Anni di Piombo (Years of Lead). She created an installation composed by concrete sculptures made from casts of the architectural features of the courtroom, taken before their demolition. The installation is accompanied by a six-hour audio edited recording of the April 7 trial. Defendants in the court case included the philosophers Antonio Negri and Paolo Virno, and other intellectuals accused of being ideologically and morally responsible for Italian terrorism developed in the late 1970s. Il Processo won the MAXXI prize in 2010, promoted by MAXXI – Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo in Rome. The human condition and circumstances in detention are the focus of I dreamt that you changed into a cat...gatto...ha ha ha (2013). <mask> <mask> developed her research in the women's prison on Giudecca island at the Venetian lagoon.This prison is not like a traditional one where inmates are locked and unproductive; on the contrary, the prisoners spend their time working outside the prison. As all prison cells are open, <mask> was given the opportunity to meet every prisoner by creating a dream workshop, called

 ‘oneiric laboratory’. Using the workshop as a platform to communicate with the prisoners, Biscotti analyzed the institution and the way the inmates figure in it. She processed her research in a sculpture made of compost, which was the result of work that has been done by inmates in the kitchen, cleaning, the growing of vegetables and consumption. The work was presented during the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. Exhibitions

<mask> (born February 1965), is a Breton-Welsh singer-songwriter, based in Wales. Early life
Born in Brittany and raised first there and later in the Rhymney Valley, <mask> is the second child and only daughter of Breton poet and playwright <mask> and his then wife, Judith Pritchard (née Gurney), a Welsh political activist. Both parents were active in their nations' respective autonomy movements, Judith with Plaid Cymru, Paol with the UDB. The family moved to Wales where, exposed to Breton and Welsh folk music, <mask> began singing, mainly in choirs and eisteddfodau. Early influences included The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. She has cited the film, The Song Remains the Same as influential; she watched it in the same year she began busking in Cardiff, which led to travels around the United Kingdom and Ireland playing at ad hoc gigs and festivals. Around 1988-90, she appeared in a number of episodes of the Welsh language soap-opera "Pobol Y Cwm", produced by BBC Wales for the Welsh fourth television channel, S4C.Her character, a Breton, instigated the twinning of the fictional Welsh village of "Cwmderi" with a town in Brittany.

<mask> (1824–1894) was an Irish priest of the Roman Catholic Church who was famous in his day as a wit and conversationalist. Early life
<mask> was born in Francis Street, a rough area on the west side of Dublin, on 15 December 1824. His father, <mask>, was a provision merchant. His mother, Mary Meyler, was from Wexford. In 1834 <mask> enrolled at the Vincentian seminary in Usher's Quay, as a day-scholar. In 1839 he moved to St Vincent's College, Castleknock, which had opened in 1835. In 1843 he left the Vincentian order and entered the national seminary, St Patrick's College, Maynooth, from which he qualified as a priest.He left Maynooth in 1850. Clerical career
Father <mask>'s first appointment was as a reader at St Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin; soon after that, in 1852, he took up the post of curate at the church of SS Michael and John. In 1858 he was appointed curate in the parish of Bray, County Wicklow. Nine years later, in 1867, he was put in charge of St Peter's chapel at Little Bray as administrator. Little Bray was then a hamlet of Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin; it is separated from Bray proper by the river Dargle. In 1868 Little Bray became a separate parish and <mask> was made its parish priest. He remained in that role until 1893, when he was transferred to the parish of Ballybrack and Killiney, County Dublin.<mask>'s ecclesiastical career was unremarkable, yet he became a figure of some repute in the cultured circles of his day. It was as a bon viveur and conversationalist that he gained his fame. His entertaining repartee made him a popular guest at dinner parties; he also held dinners at his own house which attracted visitors from all strata of society. As one of his regular guests observed, "His friends comprised all classes, rich and poor, old and young, Protestant and Catholic. He was a priest devoted to his Church and to his flock, but his

 heart was big enough to include kind and loving feelings for all." A particular friend of <mask>'s was the controversial judge William Keogh QC, who lived near him in Bray. Another of his admirers, a Mr Darcy, took <mask> on two extensive trips abroad, the first (in 1879) to Italy and Egypt, the second (in 1886) to the United States of America.Declining years
In the 1880s Father <mask> began to suffer from liver problems and other health issues. After a break of several months "taking the waters" at Harrogate and Karlsbad (Baden) (during which period he claimed to have "shrunk to the size of a curate") he was well enough to resume his duties as a parish priest. In 1893 he was transferred to the parish of Ballybrack with Killiney, but by then his health was in terminal decline. He died, of liver failure aggravated by pneumonia, on 28 October 1894. Anecdotes
A lady told <mask> she was one of the Dalys of Castle Daly, and asked what family he belonged to. "I belong to the Francis Street branch of the Halys of Castle Haly," he replied. The Duchess of Marlborough once asked <mask> if he could speak French."I ought to, your Grace, for I was born in Francis Street," was his reply. Sir Redvers Buller, a general who had fought in Africa, dined with <mask> on one occasion when the other guests were Archbishop Walsh and eleven priests. Sir Redvers flinched when he saw he was the only layman. "Don’t worry," said <mask>, "the soutane can’t be much worse than the Soudan!" <mask> was sceptical of physicians. When he was on his deathbed Dr Christopher Nixon came to attend on him. "My dear <mask>," he said, "you are exceedingly ill. We know what is best for you, and I must ask you to submit your will to us.""I shan’t," retorted the Reverend Father, "you might alter it!"

 1877. On his way to Italy in 1879 <mask> stopped in London and was invited to breakfast at Gladstone's house. The tale he subsequently told about this occasion was recorded by a young writer:

My father took me one evening to dine (at the house of Mr Justice James Murphy) near Stillorgan. I soon became aware that the wine was excellent, and was being drunk with attention. But before long I found my mind chiefly engaged in marvelling who on earth was this little priest with the humorous face, who kept saying precisely the right thing in precisely the happiest way. For I had never then heard of <mask> of Bray.No reasonable person could fail to see that this man was an extraordinary artist in conversation. ... One story he told that night is so characteristic of the man that I give it as I wrote it from memory thirty years ago, after his death. Mr Gladstone’s name had come up, as in those days it could not fail to do; and <mask> was expressing admiration for his wonderful accomplishments. “He asked me to breakfast in his own house one day,” he said, “and there were a lot of big men there; ministers and men of science, and writers and what not: but he seemed the master of every one of them on his own subject. Well, after breakfast, Gladstone began declaiming about the doctrine of indulgence; and, seeing where I was, I tried to make myself as little as I could. It was no use; he turned round on me there, with his eyes flashing: ‘<mask>, I saw with my own eyes in a church at Verona a notice offering to remit forty thousand years in purgatory for the sum of two hundred lire. Now – what do you say to that?’ Well, I was in a fix with all those fellows looking at me; but I thought of a way; so I said, ‘It’s a fair offer, and I don’t know where you’d go to do better.’”

 the uncommon qualities which marked it, for it was broadened with smiles, lit up with a twinkling eye, refined by the thin nostril and mobile lips, which told of his delicate perception and his ready utterance – an utterance rich with the flavour of his origin. He was never at a loss for a kindly word; to meet him in the street was like passing suddenly into sunshine.” ––  Dr John Pentland Mahaffy, Fellow (later Provost) of Trinity College, Dublin

“<mask> was one of the most charming of men – racy of the soil, a true Irishman, a true friend, kind, witty, genial, sociable. We shall not soon look upon his like again. I knew him for over a quarter of a century; I have dined with him on several occasions in his house at Little Bray, and I can never forget those wonderful and hospitable entertainments. The numbers varied – sometimes eight, ten, twelve, even fourteen. The most varied guests met at his table. I have sat there at the same time with Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, Lord Powerscourt, Monsignor Persico, Archbishop Walsh, Lord Morris, Chief Baron Palles, and others.His guests were always delighted to be there, and he was delighted to have them. One servant cooked the dinner and brought it to the table, and no one could tell how the attendance was arranged. Once, I remember, when some officer of the Guards was dining with the Padre, he looked round for a servant to take his coat and hat when he entered the house, and the host came forward smiling, saying: ‘You know those footmen of mine all gave me notice and left on the spot when they heard that you were coming.’ He was brilliant, quick like lightning in conversation, and never hesitated for a second to come out with a sparkling, genial mot.” –– Lord Ashbourne

title: Lena Constante

texts:
<mask> (June 18, 1909 – November 2005) was a Romanian artist, essayist and memoirist, known for her work in stage design and tapestry. A family friend of Communist Party politician Lucreţiu Pătrăşcanu, she was arrested by the Communist regime following the conflict between Pătrăşcanu and Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej. She was indicted in his trial and spent twelve years as a political prisoner. Constante was the wife of the musicologist Harry Brauner, and the sister-in-law of the painter Victor Brauner. Biography
Born in Bucharest, she was the daughter of an Aromanian journalist (who had immigrated from Macedonia) and his Romanian wife. The <mask> family left the city during the World War I German occupation, and <mask> spent much of her childhood in Iaşi, Kherson, Odessa, London and Paris. Returning at the end of the conflict, she studied Painting at the Romanian Art Academy in Bucharest, and established friendships with leading intellectuals of her time, including Brauner, Mircea Vulcănescu, Petru Comarnescu, Henri H. Stahl, Mihail Sebastian, and Paul Sterian.During the period, she became sympathetic to left-wing politics and joined the sociological project initiated by Dimitrie Gusti, aiding in the creation of comprehensive monographs on traditional Romanian society; her visits to various villages acquainted her with traditional folk art, especially religious icons, which she later used as inspiration in her work. Constante first exhibited her art in 1934, and had personal shows in 1935, and 1946; her last exhibit before being arrested occurred in Ankara, Turkey (1947). After 1945, she was employed as a stage designer by the newly founded Ţăndărică Theater, where she met Elena Pătrăşcanu, Lucreţiu's wife. In early 1946, when Pătrăşcanu, who was Romania's Minister of Justice,

 later attributed to her earlier refusal to confess. Repeatedly beaten and again tortured during her stay in special prisons for women, she much later confessed that she was never able to forgive the people responsible for her plight. She was freed in 1962; in 1963, she married Brauner, who had also been released. They both were rehabilitated during Nicolae Ceauşescu's campaign of reviewing Romania's history under Gheorghiu-Dej (1968). Constante exhibited her works on two other occasions (in 1970 and 1971, both centered on tapestry and collage art). In 1990, after the Romanian Revolution, she published her French-language autobiography L'évasion silencieuse ("The Silent Escape"), at the Éditions La Découverte in Paris. The volume, which Vladimir Tismăneanu has compared to the works of Margarete Buber-Neumann, is written as a diary, and makes use of her prolific memory, which allowed her to record an immense succession of days, years after events had passed.It won the Prize of French-Language Writers' Association, and was translated into English as The Silent Escape: Three Thousand Days in Romanian Prisons, with a preface by Gail Kligman; the Romanian version (Evadarea tăcută) received the Romanian Academy's Lucian Blaga Prize. In 1993, she also published Evadarea imposibilă. Penitenciarul politic de femei Miercurea Ciuc 1957–1961 ("The Impossible
Escape. The Political Prison for Women in Miercurea Ciuc 1957–1961"). In 1997, Constante starred as herself in Nebunia Capetelor, a film by Thomas Ciulei based on The Silent Escape; Ciulei had originally intended to cast Maia Morgenstern as Constante, but ultimately decided to pay a special tribute to the book's theme ("I wanted to force the spectator to build himself an imaginary space, as <mask>e had done when she was in her

 party became increasingly strained as the fallout from her 1996 comments mounted, and she resigned in November 1997, continuing to serve on the Legislative Council as an Independent. In 1999 she failed a bid for re-election under the "Franca Arena Child Safety Alliance" banner, and retired from politics. The National Italian-Australian Women's Association was established by <mask> <mask> in 1985 (founding President). It aims to recognise and promote the contribution of Italian-Australian women to Australian society. <mask> <mask> has been a volunteer telephone counsellor for Lifeline and is a regular on-air contributor on the SBS Italian radio program. Awards
In 1976, <mask> was awarded a Churchill Fellowship, which sponsorship she used to study the relationship between ethnic groups and their host countries in countries other than Australia.She was offered the Order of the British Empire for services to migrants, but refused the honour; in 1980 she accepted the Order of Australia for services to ethnic groups. Australia was not the only government determined to recognise her work; in 1990 she was awarded Commendatore della Repubblica Italiana (in English, Knight Commander of the Italian Republic), and in 2004 the City of Genoa and the Region of Liguria bestowed the Illustrious Ligurian Award. Queer nation
In 1991, <mask> attracted sympathy and scorn after becoming the target of militant homosexual activists Queer Nation. At the time, <mask> was the head of a parliamentary enquiry into financial assistance for people who had acquired AIDS medically. <mask> attracted the attention of Queer Nation because, according to prominent member Tony Westmore, she had attempted to distinguish between people with medically acquired AIDS (whom she considered "innocent") and people who become infected through sexual contact.

 idea of providing seats dedicated to people of Aboriginal background, modeled on the Māori seats of New Zealand, so as to allow for hitherto unseen indigenous representation in the Parliament of New South Wales. The Standing Committee on Social Issues, of which she wasn't part, released a report on the merits of such seats in November 1998.The NSW Government members, however, did not believe the solution appropriate and leaned towards other measures to facilitate Aborigine representation. Wood Royal Commission
The Royal Commission into the New South Wales Police Service was a Royal Commission set up in 1994 to investigate corruption in the then New South Wales Police Service. As the commission continued, its scope expanded to include paedophilia and the failure of the NSW Police to adequately investigate accusations of sexual abuse. <mask>, along with fellow MP Deirdre Grusovin, urged the commission to look into abuse perpetrated by judges and lawyers. Frustrated with what she saw as the commission's unwillingness to investigate prominent people, <mask> promised to name at least two Sydney men in a speech to the Legislative Council. The next day, she followed through, demanding to know why the commission had not investigated retired Supreme Court judge David Yeldham or former MLA Frank Arkell. The remarks caused uproar in both Parliament and the press, and <mask> was regularly accused of abusing Parliamentary privilege to shield herself from potential defamation suits.Both Arkell and Yeldham strenuously denied being paedophiles. As a result of the publicity <mask>'s suggestion attracted, Yeldham was discovered to be living a double life as a homosexual, and committed suicide on 4 November 1996. When asked in late 1996 to comment on Yeldham's suicide, <mask> stood by her comments to the Legislative Council, explaining, "I asked questions which I felt it was important for me to ask after I was contacted by

 several people. As a member of Parliament, I have a duty to my constituents. Throughout this whole affair, I have acted according to my conscience.". The Privileges Committee of the Legislative Council investigated Arena's parliamentary conduct in November 1997. Frank Arkell, the other accused, was murdered on 26 June 1998.When the Commission published its findings, it cleared Yeldham and Arkell of any wrongdoing, and found that <mask>'s claims of a high-level cover-up of paedophilic activity were "false in all respects". Journalist Trudy Harris, writing in The Australian, described some of her claims, including one that an unnamed NSW judge was a Satanic murderer, as "bizarre". Not all of <mask>'s efforts were dismissed, however: NSW Commissioner of Police Peter Ryan set up a strike force to investigate accusations <mask> supplied to NSW Police, and argued that her assistance had been invaluable at times, such as in the arrest of a NSW District Court judge for child sex offences. Leaving the Labor Party
The decision to name Arkell and Yeldham as suspected paedophiles would cost <mask> dearly. With support within her own party already waning as a result of the incident and her refusal to back down, in 1997 <mask> pushed things further, crossing the floor to vote with the Liberal Opposition in favour of widening the Wood Commission's jurisdiction to include all paedophilia-related activity. Voting against one's own party is an expellable offence in the Labor Party; the only other NSW Labor MP to have opposed his own party in a party-line vote was George Petersen, who was expelled in 1987 as a result. As debate on whether to expel <mask> continued within the Labor Party and in the press, the Wood Royal Commission released its findings, clearing <mask>'s accused and ridiculing her allegations of a political cover-up.<mask> resigned from the Australian Labor Party on 7 November 1997, but continued to serve the

 Legislative Council as an Independent. As an Independent
<mask> wasted no time in using her new-found freedom as an Independent. In November 1997, the Labor Government attempted to pass the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Amendment Bill, which would have reduced the fine for small-scale marijuana use from $2200 to $500, and removed the possibility of gaol time. <mask> opposed the Bill, which was defeated in a 20–19 vote in the Legislative Council. Another Independent MLC, Richard Jones, attacked <mask> for her opposition of the Bill, asserting that she had told him she would be supporting it; <mask> argued that she had changed her mind because similar legislation had failed in South Australia. As <mask>'s eight-year term drew to a close, the Legislative Council voted to suspend her indefinitely unless she apologised for her comments about a criminal conspiracy of politicians to cover-up paedophilia. <mask> refused to apologise, arguing that she hadn't made any statements alleging criminal conspiracies.She read a "statement of regret" to the Council instead, a compromise that angered the Government but attracted enough support from Independents and individual Coalition MPs to avoid suspension. <mask> stood for re-election in 1999 under the name of a new party, the "Franca Arena Child Safety Alliance". She was soundly defeated, receiving a mere 0.4 percent of the popular vote, and immediately announced her retirement from political life. As an author
In 2002, <mask> published an autobiography entitled, Franca: my story. In it, she describes how finding out that both her sons are gay sparked a deep depression, during which she contemplated suicide. Footnotes

texts:
<mask>, 4th Earl of Clarendon,  (12 January 180027 June 1870) was an English diplomat and statesman from the Villiers family. He thrice served as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as part of a distinguished diplomatic career. He was the leading British representative at the Congress of Paris which ended the Crimean War. Background and education
Villiers was born in London, the son of <mask> and Theresa Parker. He went up to Cambridge at the early age of sixteen and entered St John's College on 29 June 1816. In 1820, as the eldest son of an earl's brother with royal descent, he was able to take his MA degree under the statutes of the university then in force. Career
In the same year, he was appointed attaché to the British embassy at Saint Petersburg.There he remained three years, and gained practical knowledge of diplomacy which would be of use to him later in his life. He had "received from nature a singularly handsome person, a polished and engaging address, a ready command of languages, and a remarkable power of composition". Upon his return to England in 1823, he was appointed to a commissionership of customs, an office which he retained for about ten years. In 1831, he was despatched to France to negotiate a commercial treaty, which however was fruitless. Minister in Spain
On 16 August 1833, he was appointed minister at the court of Spain. Ferdinand VII died within a month of his arrival at Madrid, and the infant queen Isabella, then in the third year of her age, was placed on her contested throne, based on the old Spanish custom of female inheritance.

 1838 in acknowledgment of his services, and succeeded, on the death of his uncle, to the title of Earl of Clarendon; in the following year, having left Madrid, he married a young widow, Lady Katharine Foster-Barham (née Grimston), eldest daughter of James Grimston, 1st Earl of Verulam. In January 1840 he entered Lord Melbourne's Whig administration as Lord Privy Seal, and from the death of Lord Holland in the autumn of that year Lord <mask> also held the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster until the dissolution of the ministry in 1841. Deeply convinced that the maintenance of a cordial understanding with France was the most essential condition of peace and of a liberal policy in Europe, he reluctantly concurred in the measures proposed by Lord Palmerston for the expulsion of the Mohammed Ali of Egypt from Syria; he strenuously advocated, with Lord Holland, a more conciliatory policy towards France; and he was only restrained from sending in his resignation by the dislike he felt to break up a cabinet he had so recently joined. The interval of Sir Robert Peel's administration (1841–1846) was to the leaders of the Whig party a period of repose; but Lord <mask> took a strong interest in the triumph of the principles of free trade and in the repeal of the Corn Laws, of which his brother, Charles Pelham Villiers, had been one of the earliest champions. For this reason, upon the formation of Lord John Russell's first administration, Lord <mask> accepted the office of President of the Board of Trade. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
Twice in his career the governor-generalship of India was

 offered him, and once the governor-generalship of Canada; these he refused from reluctance to withdraw from the politics of Europe.In 1847, the desire of the cabinet was to abolish the lord-lieutenancy of Ireland, and Lord <mask> was prevailed upon to accept that office, with a view to transform it into an Irish secretaryship of state. He arrived during the second year of the Great Famine. The crisis was one of extraordinary peril. Agrarian crimes had increased threefold. The Catholic clergy were openly disaffected. Extraordinary measures were required to retain the control by the Westminster government. The French Revolution of 1848 let loose fresh elements of discord, which culminated in an abortive insurrection, and for a lengthened period Ireland was a prey to more than her wonted symptoms of disaffection and disorder.Lord <mask> remained viceroy of Ireland till 1852. His services were expressly acknowledged in the queen's speech to both Houses of Parliament in September 1848—this being the first time that any civil services obtained that honour; and he was made a Knight of the Garter (retaining also the grand cross of the Bath by special order) on 23 March 1849. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

Upon the formation of the coalition ministry between the Whigs and the Peelites, in 1853, under Lord Aberdeen, Lord <mask> became Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The country was already "drifting" into the Crimean War, an expression of his own which was never forgotten. <mask> was not responsible for the policy which brought war about; but when it occurred he employed every means in
