Although he represented a Perth constituency, <mask> had bought a property near Wagin in 1907 (named Boyalling Estate), and in 1911 he resigned his Legislative Council seat in order to contest the new seat of Wagin in the Legislative Assembly at the 1911 state election.Standing as a "Ministerialist" (a supporter of the government of Frank Wilson), his platform included support for a railway from Wagin to Darkan, an expansion of the Legislative Council franchise, and the abolition of state land tax. <mask> went on to defeat the Labor candidate, Julius Nenke, with 68.73% of the vote. Wilson's government was defeated, and the Ministerialists that had not been defeated (including <mask>) subsequently formed a new Liberal Party at the state level, not yet affiliated with the Commonwealth Liberal Party. Prior to the 1917 state election, <mask> switched to the Country Party, one of several Liberals in regional seats to do so after the Country Party's foundation in 1913. In 1923, when the Country Party split into two rival factions – the Majority (or Ministerial) Country Party (MCP), supporting the government of James Mitchell, and the Executive (or Opposition) Country Party, opposing it, and backed by the Primary Producers' Association (PPA). <mask>, who the PPA had refused to endorse, joined the MCP, and was comfortably re-elected under that banner at the 1924 state election. The MCP was merged into

At the 1930 state election, James Mitchell, leading a Nationalist–Country coalition, was elected to a second term as premier. <mask> was nominated as the coalition's candidate for Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, and was duly elected to the post by parliament. Known for his habit of returning a full bow to members exiting the chamber, <mask> was praised by the opposition leader, Philip Collier, for his "impartial manner" in the position. One of his duties as speaker was to entertain visitors to Parliament House, and in that capacity he hosted the English cricket team, captained by Douglas Jardine, that toured Australia during the 1932–33 season – the Bodyline series. <mask> was elected unopposed at the 1933 election, but Mitchell's government was defeated, and he was consequently replaced as speaker by Labor's Alexander Panton. There would not be another from the coalition side of the house until Charles North was elected in 1947, and it was not until Grant Woodhams was elected in 2008 that the Country Party (now the National Party) provided another speaker.<mask> was re-elected unopposed for a second time at the 1936 state election, but at the 1939 election was challenged by three independent candidates.

<mask>'Ivry (11 May 1698 in Ivry-sur-Seine – 1 October 1777 in Paris), was a French architect and designer working in a chaste and sober Rococo style and in the goût grec phase of early Neoclassicism. Early career
An Architecte du Roi from 1728, he spent his career working for the French Crown and for an aristocratic private clientele: the contrôleur-général des finances Machault d'Arnouville, the princes de Soubise and de Croÿ, and baron Bernstorff, the Danish ambassador. Though he was not formally received into the Académie royale d'architecture until 1751, he was the architect attached to Louis François I de Bourbon, prince de Conti, between 1737 and 1749. He was replaced in this position by Jean-Baptiste Courtonne. Palais-Royal

Later Contant d'Ivry worked for Louis-Philippe, duc d'Orléans, for whom he transformed interiors of the Palais-Royal, Paris, in 1754, designs that were widely admired and published by Diderot and d'Alembert in the Encyclopédie, 1762, where Jacques-François Blondel praised their "correct middle pathway between two excesses, that of the heavy weight of our ancients and that of frivolity". Surviving examples include the dining room of the Duchesse d'Orléans (now the Salle du Tribunal des Conflits of the Conseil d'État), which is in a neo-classical style with pilasters, and another of her rooms (now the Salle des Finances), in which his surviving decoration of the ceiling and door panels is lighter and more reminiscent of the earlier French Regency period. Contant d'Ivry was also responsible for the exteriors of the northern part of the east wing

 (now on the Rue de Valois), the avant corps of which, "with its giant balcony brackets and rather inventive detailing, combines Rococo-style decorative charm with a certain Classical solidity in its massing."In 1763 a fire which started in the east wing in the opera house, the Salle du Palais-Royal, destroyed not only the theatre but also the adjoining sections of the palace. While the municipality of Paris was responsible for the opera house and hired its own architect, <mask>-Louis Moreau-Desproux, who also designed the new facades on the Rue Saint-Honoré side of the building, Louis Philippe engaged <mask> d'Ivry, who designed the interiors of the reconstructed corps de logis, the facades of the Cour d'Honneur (on the garden side), and a grand staircase, the "splendid escalier d'honneur, [which] with its domed covering and dramatic curved descent, is justly famous." Église de la Madeleine

In 1757, he presented a project for the new Église de la Madeleine in Paris, for which he drew inspiration from Jacques-Germain Soufflot's Église Sainte-Geneviève. Though the foundation stone was laid by Louis XV in 1763, funds lagged, and after <mask> d'Ivry's death, the plans were modified, then the partially built structure was razed and begun anew.

<mask>  (c.1835–5 October 1899), was a working-class suffrage speaker in  a movement which was predominately made up of middle and upper-class activists. She was also a  freelance (or 'paid agent') speaker in the campaigns for Irish Home Rule and the cooperative movement and against vivisection, compulsory vaccination, and the Contagious Diseases Acts. Early life
It is not certain where in the UK she was born, although the Dover Express in 1866 described her as a 'Scotch lady'. The 1871 census, however, shows her living with an adopted 18-year-old child, Rosetta Vincent, and a married sister, Emma Henley, in Ordsall near Retford and describing herself as a ‘lecturer’, born in London. By 1881 she is in Clifton, Bristol, and in the census she describes herself as a London-born, ‘Lecturer on Social Subjects’. She reportedly had a seafaring father from the Scottish Highlands, who died when she was an infant, and a mother who was an Italian actress. As a child she appeared on the stage and this may have given her the skills and the confidence for paid public speaking.She began in the late 1850s giving readings from plays and  recitations, before moving onto delivering orations at temperance meetings, and was described on one such occasion in 1861 as a 'clever Quakeress'. By December 1868, she was addressing suffrage meetings. A newspaper reporter wrote in 1869 at Alnwick that her talks were well attended,  but added that this was because a lady lecturer was a novelty, recalling Dr Johnson's comments on the subject, ‘…a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.’

As a suffragist
She is recorded as speaking on behalf of women's rights between 1868 and 1884.

texts:
 Her main supporters were the radical suffragists Priscilla Bright McLaren, Lilias Ashworth Hallett and the Quaker sisters Anna Maria and Mary Priestman, who had realised the necessity of gaining support from the working classes for the suffrage movement. The feminist and campaigner for women's rights, Helen Blackburn called her ‘that strange erratic genius’ who spoke with a tone like a 'mighty melodious bell'. Blackburn noted that she planned and carried out her tours by herself, travelling all over the kingdom from John O'Groats to Lands End, accompanied only by her little dog,  and that, with the power of her voice, she was able to gather audiences and hold them riveted, ‘from miners in Northumberland…  and fishers in Cornwall... to agricultural labourers in the market-places of country towns’.<mask> also visited Stornoway in the Scottish Hebrides, the writer and politician Henry Hyndman wrote vividly of her:
<mask> was ugly, self-taught, roughly attired, and uncouth in her ways.Yet all this was soon overlooked when once the lady began to speak...She came forward, dumped down on the table in front of me an umbrella, a neck wrapper, and a shabby old bag.Then she turned round to face the audience. She was greeted with boisterous peals of laughter. No wonder! Such a figure of fun you never saw. It was Mrs. Gamp come again in the flesh – umbrella, corkscrew curls and all. There she stood with a battered bonnet on her straggling grey hair, with a rough shawl pinned over her shoulders, displaying a powerful and strongly marked and somewhat bibulous physiognomy, with a body of portly development and as broad as it was long...In two minutes the whole audience was listening intently; within five she had them in fits of laughter, this time not

texts: at her but with her. A little later tears were in every eye as she told some terribly touching story of domestic suffering, self-sacrifice, and misery.So it went on. This ungainly person was producing more effect than all the rest of the speakers put together. By 1879 she was appearing on platforms with the principal figures of the suffrage movement and at Manchester, in October of that year, Helen Blackburn said that she 'held the meeting enchained by her grand voice and her strong and witty words, delivered with practised power'. On 3 February 1880 she spoke at the ‘Great Demonstration of Women’ in the Free Trade Hall, alongside such notables as Mrs McClaren,  Lydia Becker and Josephine Butler. In 1881-2 she may have formed a romantic friendship with the feminist and suffragist Helen Taylor, a woman from a very different social background. This relationship faced challenges, since class differences in late-Victorian England meant that women like Craigen, who took payment for their suffrage work, were likely to be regarded on the same terms as personal servants by the middle-class leadership of the movement. However, this friendship actually faded, to Craigen's great regret, over differences of opinion concerning Ireland and Charles Stewart Parnell, who was often a houseguest of Miss Taylor.As the suffrage movement split, after its failure to win any measure for women's right to vote under the Third Reform Act of December 1884,   <mask>'s position, as a paid agent speaker, became more difficult and she gradually faded from the women's rights scene. She continued to protest on behalf of other causes however, contributing an article to the Nineteenth Century Review against proposals to build a Channel Tunnel,  and when speaking at an

Later life and death
The Local Government Act 1894 had created a system of urban and rural district councils, and had permitted women to be councillors. In December 1894, <mask> stood, as the only woman candidate, in the election for Ilford Urban District Council, on behalf of the Women's Liberal Association. She was unsuccessful, coming fourteenth out of seventeen candidates. She died in her lodgings 2, Grove-villas, Ilford Lane, Ilford, Essex on 5 October 1899 when local newspapers described her as a ‘well-known old maiden lady’ and ‘miser’, who had shared her house with fifteen dogs. Her obituary in the Zoophilist declared that 'as a woman of the people, she exercised a great influence over the working classes...  We shall miss her courageous and outspoken advocacy... her racy and eloquent speeches'. Her belongings were left to Rosetta Blanche Vincent, spinster, of Church House, Uckfield, Sussex, who was granted probate on the will as sole executrix.Posthumous recognition
Her name but no picture as there is no known photograph or drawing of her,   (and those of 58 other women's suffrage supporters) are on the plinth of the statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square, London, unveiled in 2018. See also

<mask> "Kiky" <mask> (12 April 1921 – 27 December 1990) was recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations on 15 September 1989, and was also awarded the Verzetsherdenkingskruis (Resistance Memorial Cross) by the Dutch government. A member of the Dutch Resistance who actively helped Dutch men and women escape Nazi persecution, she survived imprisonment at three Nazi concentration camps – Herzogenbusch (Vught) in the Netherlands and Ravensbrück and Dachau in Germany, as well as the harsh working conditions of the Munich-Giesing satellite camp known as Agfa-Commando, becoming one of those liberated from Dachau at the end of April, 1945. She was known to family and friends as "Kiky". Formative years
Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on 12 April 1921, her birth name was <mask>. Following her marriage to <mask>, she became <mask>. World War II
 Residing alone in Amsterdam and employed at that city's famed department store, De Bijenkorf, during the opening years of World War II, Kiky Heinsius was intimately acquainted with the dangers faced by Jewish men, women and children. Within the span of just a few months, two of her friends were targeted by Nazi officials in the Netherlands.Following the June 1941 death of her closest friend, Rudolph Richter, at the Mauthausen concentration camp, her movements were monitored after she tried to intervene on behalf of another friend, Leo Zwart, who had been arrested, interrogated and deported to Westerbork. Despite the threat to her personal security, she then actively intervened on behalf of a third individual, Siegfried Goldsteen, a Jewish labor camp fugitive who had been befriended by her co-worker, Anna Maass. Hiding him at her home in early 1943, according to Yad Vashem, Kiky Heinsius "stole ration cards from her employer to provide for

She then also relocated, moving "to a larger apartment with a hiding place ... took in Judith Fransman, an acquaintance of Sieg’s," and persuaded another friend to help secure extra ration cards. Approached by members of the Amsterdam Resistance, she was soon making frequent trips "to Drenthe to pick up forged papers for people in hiding" while helping to transport others to more secure locations. When her apartment was raided on 2 February 1944, both she and Goldsteen were captured. According to Yad Vashem, "Sieg perished somewhere in Central Europe in June 1944" while Kiky was sent to Vught (Herzogenbusch), Ravensbrück, and a subcamp of Dachau, from where she was liberated on 30 April 1945."The Verzetsmuseum in Amsterdam places the date of her arrival at Dachau as 15 October 1944 while a list of prisoners being transported to that camp in 1944 noted that her inmate number there would be "123202." Records preserved from the concentration camp at Dachau also provide further confirmation of many of her vital statistics, including that her name was "<mask> Heinsius", that her inmate number was "123202," that she had been born in Amsterdam on 12 April 1921, and that she had been sent from Ravensbrück to Dachau; however, these records also state that she did not arrive at Dachau until 12 November 1944. In addition, the Dachau records confirm that she had been designated by Nazi officials as a "Schutzhäftling" from the Netherlands. Translated roughly as "protective custody prisoner," the term "Schutzhäftling" was a euphemism used by Nazis to describe political prisoners or others they deemed to be threats to the Third Reich or otherwise undesirable, many of whom were detained without trial.

 Ravensbrück and Dachau, according to Dachau's records, she was finally liberated from that camp with her fellow prisoners on 30 April 1945. Prison life at Agfa-Commando
According to Jack van Ommen, author of The Mastmakers' Daughters, his mother, Rennie van Ommen-de Vries, and <mask> <mask> were two of the women who performed forced labor at Agfa-Commando, which was a satellite camp of Dachau, located at Munich-Giesing roughly 14 miles from the Dachau main camp. Both women had been members of the Dutch Resistance, and had also been imprisoned at the Nazi's Herzogenbusch (Vught) and Ravensbrück concentration camps prior to their 15 October 1944 transfer to Agfa with a group of former Resistance members and other Dutch women.Beginning each day with a prisoner count at 5:00 in the morning, they were marched to the plant, which was part of the vast network of factories operated by IG Farben. Ordered to assemble ignition timers for Nazi weapons, including artillery ammunition, bombs, and V1 and V2 rockets, they sabotaged production efforts whenever possible. At the end of each work day at 6:00 p.m., they were marched back to Munich-Giesing, where they slept six or seven to a room in a bombed-out apartment block. Surrounded by a high barbed wire fence, the substandard housing was monitored by guards in watch towers at each of the block's four corners. Prisoners' strike at Agfa-Commando
The prisoners at Dachau and its subcamps were often at risk from Allied bombing, which targeted factories and railroads in and around Munich more than 70 times over a five-year period in order to destroy or at least disrupt and delay armament production. Despite the danger, the prisoners at these facilities "were not permitted to seek shelter in bunkers", according to the Bavarian House of History; as a

 result, many "lived in constant fear of air raids." Consequently, van Ommen writes, the 14-mile road between Dachau and Agfa was impassable by January 1945, preventing food and other supplies from being delivered.As salt and other staples ran out, the factory's managers began watering down prisoners' soup rations "while at the same time trying to raise the production quotas." Many women, malnourished and overworked, fell ill with typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other diseases, but fought to remain at Agfa as long as possible since being sent to the overcrowded hospital at Dachau would likely result in their deaths. It was at this point, says the Bavarian House of History, that "the Dutch prisoners stopped working, even though this was regarded as sabotage and was punished by death." <mask> <mask>, when penning her memoir later in life, observed:

What finally gave the decisive effect on 12 January 1945, I do not really remember. ... shortly after the lunch break the work was suddenly put down in front of the hall. 'No, we do not want to work any more, we are hungry.' Ella Lingens, one of the women who was later held "partially responsible for the strike," stated that the prisoner revolt started when one woman "turned off the conveyor belt and ... crossed [her] arms and when the commandant, completely enraged ... asked why she wasn't working" was told "because we don't want to anymore."Afterward, Mary Vaders, one of the Dutch prisoners, was fingered as the instigator by one of the other nationals in the camp and sent to the Bunker in the Dachau concentration camp but, due to fortunate circumstances, the threatened execution was never carried out. According to van Ommen, the other strike participants "were punished with hours standing in formation in the court yard" at Agfa. Three

 months later, the factory was shut down. <mask> <mask>'s recollections about her time at Agfa-Commando and other Nazi concentration camps continue to be shared through special events across the Netherlands and Germany, including readings of her unpublished memoir, The World Was White, and the 2017 exhibition of Alexander Steig's "Camera," a sculpture "dedicated to the memory of the approximately 550 forced laborers of the Giesinger satellite camp Agfa-Kamerawerke. Death
Following a brief illness, <mask> "Kiky" <mask>-Heinsius died in Amsterdam on 27 December 1990. Members of the community were given the opportunity to bid farewell to her at the Osdorp event center in Amsterdam on 31 December 1990 and 2 January 1991. Her cremation ceremony was then held later in the day on 2 January at the Crematorium Westgaarde in Amsterdam's Memorial Park Westgaarde.Awards

 <mask> <mask> was honored nationally and internationally for her work with the Dutch Resistance during World War II. On 15 September 1989, she was awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, and her name was inscribed on the far right panel of the Netherlands Wall, 13th name from the bottom, in the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations, which is located on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem, Israel. The organization's website explains the significance of the honor as follows:

Rescue of Jews took many forms and required varying degrees of involvement and self-sacrifice. The title of the Righteous is reserved for the smaller group of those who actively risked their lives or their liberty for the express purpose of saving Jews from persecution and murder. There is a wider circle of men and women who assisted the persecuted in the darkest hour of Jewish history, but whose help did not involve the taking

 of risks. These humane people have our greatest appreciation and their deeds are being documented by us. Nevertheless, even though their aid was crucial to the Jews' survival, in the absence of risk, they do not qualify for recognition within the framework of the Righteous program.<mask> <mask> was also awarded the Verzetsherdenkingskruis (Resistance Memorial Cross) by the Dutch government. According to Erik Müller, who has been researching and writing about Dutch medals for the Orders and Medals Research Society, "the cross was awarded to members of the Dutch Underground Movement for active resistance to the enemy," and is inscribed with the words, "De Tyrannie Verdryven" ("To get rid of tyranny").

They received 1.26 percent of the vote. In 2006, <mask> returned to the Democratic Party and defeated former state representative Ray Metcalfe, among others, to win the nomination in Alaska's at-large congressional district, but lost in the general election to longtime Republican incumbent Don Young, finishing with just over 40 percent of the vote to Young's 57 percent. <mask> ran a mostly volunteer campaign, with little support from the state or national Democratic parties until near the campaign's end. Her campaign spent about $200,000, about one-tenth of what the Young campaign spent. After her son sustained severe injuries while in service in Iraq, <mask> focused her campaign on a call to end the Iraq War, and for improved outfitting of the troops.She criticized Young over his relationship with lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the Northern Mariana Islands business interests that Abramoff represented. <mask> was Young's third opponent in 33 years to obtain a high percentage of the vote, and the first in 16 years. She made history when just before the election she was the first to debate the incumbent in a live televised debate on the local NBC station. <mask> also succeeded in breaking a long-held policy omitting congressional challengers at the state's largest Alaskan conference, when she took the stage at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention to speak as a congressional candidate at the insistence of the convention delegates.

<mask> (19 June 1868  - 21 January 1950) was a British artist and translator. She painted Impressionist-style landscapes and translated, into English, books authored in French and Danish. Her most sought-after work is the 1903 book The Descent of Ishtar of which only 226 copies were printed. Life
<mask> was born on 19 June 1868 in Hackney, London, England. She was the daughter of <mask> and Anne Moate. From around the age of 12 she attended Missender House Ladies School, on Dover Street in Ryde, Isle Of Wight within a short walking distance from the Ryde School of Art. It is interesting to note that one of the teachers at the school, Marie Gervuex, was from Canton de Berne, Switzerland.She then moved back to London to live with her mother, who by then had been widowed, and to study art (c.1886-1891). <mask>, having never married, died on 21 January 1950. At that time she was living at Wotton Burwash Common, Sussex. Career

Artist
<mask> painted still lifes and Impressionist-style landscapes. She studied at the Crystal Palace School of Art under Archibald Macgregor. Macgregor, an artist and architect, was father of John Macgregor. <mask>'s fellow student was Esther Bensusan, who later married Lucien Pissarro.Macgregor particularly admired <mask>'s features and she often sat for him. She remained close friends with both Macgregor and Esther throughout her life. While a student <mask> was awarded: a certificate for watercolour painting (1886);  a certificate and the Scholarship in Art for 1889-90 for a model in plaster (1889). and, a silver medal for 'head modelled from the life' (1890).' The Pissarros: Esther, Lucien and Orovida
Her friendship with the Pissarros began with Esther while they were both students at the Crystal Palace School of Art. Esther met Lucien Pissarro on

texts: his first visit to London in 1883. Lucien returned to London in 1890 and married Esther two years later.Through Esther, <mask> also became a friend of Lucien, who was devoted to Impressionism. In time, <mask> became a trusted friend and mentor to Esther and Lucien's daughter, Orovida Pissarro. Over the years <mask> and Orovida exchanged hundreds of letters discussing art, theory, philosophy and literature. Although <mask> was a follower of Lucien, she had her doubts about Impressionism. She wrote to Orovida: Everyday I feel more certain that impressionism took a wrong turn in that it ignored that art is art and not nature...I would not, for the world depress your father by stating my convictions. - <mask>, c.1916White advised Orovida to study Palaeothic cave drawings, Chinese paintings, Persian miniatures, and a wide range of other art, insisting on the supremacy of Chinese art and art theory. Orovida became an outlet for <mask>'s philosophical discourses on art as Orovida found herself freer than <mask> to reject Impressionism.<mask> and Orovida planned a joint exhibition but it never materialised. She wrote to Orovida:We must have a two woman show next year and show 'The London Group' a thing or two. I should dearly like to give them a real reason for hating me, which up to now I think they have lacked, would it not be a heavenly lark!...Oh work hard, hard, hard and we'll make them sit up. – <mask>ucien had proposed that <mask> be included in a group exhibition at the Carfax Gallery in 1914. When a student from Sickert was chosen in her place, Lucien threatened to withdraw, and the committee promptly admitted two of <mask>'s paintings. The Manchester Courier writes that while the other exhibitors 'illustrate various phases of Impressionism, Miss <mask> asserts her

 individuality with some clever drawings.' It is possible that Lucien's reaction, to <mask>'s initial exclusion from the Carfax Gallery exhibition, could be explained, at least in part, by circumstances preceding the event.Walter Sickert had been associated with the Carfax Gallery from the start. At the time it was known for exhibiting work of the Camden Town Group, a group who declared itself a 'male club' where women were not eligible. Both Lucien and Sickert were members. According to Charles Ginner, Sickert was one of two that introduced the ban of women members. In 1911 Esther, Lucien's wife, had requested that <mask> be elected a member of the Camden Town Group but her request was denied. I admire <mask>'s work & I am sorry it has been rejected by the N.E.A.C. especially as there are a lot of bad pictures there....It is difficult to make a woman a member off-hand especially as the time is so limited before the next exhibition...But I see no reason why the Group should not give Miss <mask> a special invitation to exhibit without actually making her a member until the matter has been discussed at a meeting. - James Bolivar Manson, 1911After Lucien died, Orovida returned to naturalism and to oil paints. On hearing of Orovida tackling a new line of art and her return to oils <mask> wrote to her, 'Beloved OCP, what glorious news that you have taken to oils, how joyous, and how much I envy you.' Exhibitions
She exhibited frequently at the Goupil Gallery (1908 – 1922) and also exhibited at the: Royal Albert Hall (1908); galleries of the Royal Society of British Artists (1909 – 1913);  Dore Gallery (1914); Whitechapel Art Gallery (1914); and, Carfax Gallery (1914). At the first exhibition or 'Salon' of the Allied Artists' Association held at the Royal Albert Hall in 1908, <mask>

She also showed for three years in the Exhibition for Modern Pictures (New English Art Club, 1909-1913); the Post-Impressionist and Futurist Exhibition (Dore Gallery, 1914); and, the Twentieth Century Art. A Review of Modern Movements (Whitechapel Art Gallery, 1914). Translator

French to English
Her first and last translations were from books written in French: Tombouctou la Mystérieuse and Album de Poèmes tirés du Livre de Jade. In Tombouctou la Mystérieuse Felix Dubois wrote about his travels along The Niger, Jenne, Songhois, Sudan and to Timbuktu. He described the commerce, life, politics, literature and people of the places he visited.Timbuctoo the Mysterious...An indescribably fascinating book of travel almost reflecting as much credit on the translator as on the author.

Joachim Menant, Julius Oppert, and Francois Lenormant – D[iana] W[hite], 1897Translators had been working on the tablet for some years before <mask> published her book in 1903. George Smith, for example, had relied on Fox Talbot's translation, as well as others, and first published his translation of it in 1872 in The Daily Telegraph. However, in writing and 'preparing' her book it may be that some translation was required from French or German. The book's colophon states that the frontispiece was "designed by <mask> & engraved on the wood by Esther Pissarro. The double border and initial letters were designed by Lucien Pissarro and engraved by Esther Pissarro." The book is 30 pages of poetry and illustrations in Art Nouveau design.At the time it received mixed reviews:On...'The Descent of Ishtar,' by <mask>, both the decoration (or undecoration) border and the woodcut seem to us failures, nor are we able to admire by any means all the specimen illustrations...modelled on that by Mr. Cockrell of Morris's. But the book tells an interesting story, and is worth buying by everyone who cares for modern experiments in printing.' – The Library, 1905

<mask> ( ; February 22, 1944 – April 26, 2017) was an American filmmaker. Beginning his career under B-movie producer Roger Corman, <mask> made his directorial debut with the 1974 women-in-prison film Caged Heat, before becoming known for his casually humanist films such as Melvin and Howard (1980), Swing Shift (1984), Something Wild (1986), and Married to the Mob (1988). His direction of the 1991 psychological horror film The Silence of the Lambs (1991) won him the Academy Award for Best Director. His subsequent films earned similar acclaim, notably Philadelphia (1993) and Rachel Getting Married (2008). <mask> also directed numerous concert films such as Stop Making Sense (1984), Neil Young: Heart of Gold (2006), and Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids (2016), and worked on several television series as both a producer and director. Early life
<mask> was born on February 22, 1944 in Baldwin, New York, the son of Dorothy Louise (née Rogers) and <mask>, a public relations executive. He was raised in Rockville Centre, New York and Miami, where he graduated from Southwest Miami High School before attending the University of Florida.Career

Early films
<mask> broke into feature film working for exploitation film producer Roger Corman early in his career, co-writing and producing Angels Hard as They Come (1971), a motorcycle movie very loosely based on Rashomon, and The Hot Box (1972). He then moved on to directing three films for Corman's studio New World Pictures: Caged Heat (1974), Crazy Mama (1975), and Fighting Mad (1976). After Fighting Mad, <mask> directed the comedy film Handle with Care (originally titled Citizens Band, 1977) for Paramount Pictures. The film was well received by critics, but received little promotion, and performed poorly at the box office. <mask>'s next film, Melvin and Howard (1980), did not get a wide release, but received a groundswell of critical acclaim and film award recognition, including Academy Award nominations, winning two of its three nominations (Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress – Mary Steenburgen, and

 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay – Bo Goldman). This acclaim led to the signing of <mask> to direct the Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell star vehicle Swing Shift (1984). Intended as a prestige picture for Warner Bros. as well as a major commercial vehicle for <mask>, it instead became a troubled production due to the conflicting visions of <mask> and star Hawn.<mask> ended up renouncing the finished product, and when the film was released in May 1984, it was generally panned by critics and neglected by moviegoers. After Swing Shift, <mask> stepped back from Hollywood to make the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense (also 1984) which won the National Society of Film Critics Award for best documentary; the eclectic screwball action-romantic comedy Something Wild (1986); a film-version of the stage production Swimming to Cambodia (1987), by monologist Spalding Gray; and the New York Mafia-by-way-of Downtown comedy Married to the Mob (1988). <mask> formed his production company, Clinica Estetico, with producers Edward Saxon and Peter Saraf in 1987. They were based out of New York City for fifteen years. Later films
<mask> won the Academy Award for The Silence of the Lambs (1991)—one of only three films to win all the major categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Actress). Inspired by his friend Juan Suárez Botas's illness with AIDS and fueled by his own moral convictions, <mask> then used his influence to make Philadelphia (1993), one of the first major films to address the AIDS crisis and which garnered star Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar. He also co-directed (with his nephew Ted) the music video for Bruce Springsteen's Best Song Oscar-winning "Streets of Philadelphia" from the film's soundtrack.Jonathon used several of the same actors for both movies. Subsequently, his films included an adaptation of Toni Morrison's Beloved (1998), and remakes of two films from the 1960s: The Truth About Charlie (2002), based on Charade, that starred Mark Wahlberg in the Cary Grant role; and The Manchurian

His art-house hit Rachel Getting Married (2008) was compared by many critics to <mask>'s films of the late 1970s and 1980s. It was included in many 2008 "best of" lists, and received numerous awards and nominations, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress by lead Anne Hathaway. In 2010, <mask> made his first foray into theater, directing Family Week, a play by Beth Henley. The play was produced by MCC Theater and co-starred Rosemarie DeWitt and Kathleen Chalfant.At one time, <mask> was signed on to direct, produce, and write an adaptation of Stephen King's sci-fi novel 11/22/63, but later left due to disagreements with King on what should be included in the script. He returned to the concert documentary format with Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids (2016), which he described as a "performance film, but also a portrait of an artist at a certain moment in the arc of his career", and his last project was a history of rock & roll for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame compiled from footage from Hall of Fame induction ceremonies set to debut in summer 2017. <mask> directed music videos for artists such as Suburban Lawns, New Order, KRS-One's H.E.A.L. project and Bruce Springsteen.

texts:
<mask> AM (22 June 1920 – 20 September 2001) was an Australian politician who represented the Queensland Legislative Assembly seat of Somerset from 1972 until 1992. A member of the National Party, he also served as a Minister and Deputy Premier in various Queensland administrations during the 1980s, and was instrumental in establishing the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Early life
<mask> was born in Laidley in the Lockyer Valley west of Brisbane, Queensland, the youngest of seven children to <mask> and his wife Rosia (née Geismann). He attended Laidley North Primary School and Gatton High School, and played representative rugby league football for Ipswich in the Bulimba Cup competition. At 21, he joined the Freemasons' Lodge, in which he was heavily involved until the start of his political career. During World War II, he served in the First Cavalry Mobile Veterinary Service at Gympie, where he developed his knowledge of veterinary practice, which he continued privately after the war. On 12 April 1952, he married Lorna Klibbe, whom he had met working in a local cafe.They were to have five children and, ultimately, 17 grandchildren. Politics
On 20 July 1966, <mask> was appointed to a vacancy on the Laidley Shire Council, and on 10 April 1970, he became Chairman of the Shire, a role in which he served until 1973. At the 1972 state election, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly seat of Somerset, which covered much of the Lockyer Valley. Government Minister
After the 1980 state election, he became Minister of Education on 23 December 1980. On 6 December 1982, he vacated this role in order that Lin Powell could enter the ministry, and took on the new portfolio of Commerce and Industry.

texts: Treasurer. On 6 February 1986, he replaced <mask> as Minister for Police, and served as the Queensland representative on the National Crime Authority. During the Joh for Canberra campaign being planned by Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen and a number of his supporters, <mask> assumed control and chaired cabinet meetings on a number of occasions. He was explicitly favoured by Bjelke-Petersen to succeed himself as Premier. However, concerns about corruption in the police force had been aired on Four Corners (in Chris Masters' "Moonlight State", aired on 11 May 1987) and in other media including the state newspaper The Courier-Mail. <mask>, who was described by the Courier-Mail as an "honest and thoroughly decent politician", wanted the allegations investigated and on 26 May 1987, at a meeting chaired by <mask>, the government agreed to a commission of inquiry which came to be known as the Fitzgerald Inquiry. The hearings began two months later and ultimately were to prove the undoing of the conservative government which had been in power for over 30 years.Furthermore, <mask> also renominated Sir Robert Sparkes, by this stage not on good terms with Bjelke-Petersen, to another term as party president. Bjelke-Petersen had been forced to name a retirement date of 8 August 1988, and at the Townsville conference of the National Party in November 1987, delegates approved Sparkes's position with regard to a number of issues, and rebuffed that of Bjelke-Petersen. <mask> told the Courier-Mail on 8 November that Sir Joh was "out of time" and that he should "go fishing, have a rest and do a fair bit of thinking". On 23–24 November, Bjelke-Petersen visited the Governor of Queensland Sir Walter Campbell, attempting to have five ministers sacked—including <mask> for alleged disloyalty in nominating Sparkes as party president—and seeking support for an early election. The Governor, however, received advice from <mask> and fellow ministers Mike Ahern and Brian Austin that Bjelke-Petersen no longer had

 parliamentary support. He therefore interpreted the crisis as a political rather than constitutional one, and declined to intervene, suggesting the party room should resolve it. On 26 November, a caucus meeting was called to replace Bjelke-Petersen as leader—a spill motion was carried 39 votes to 8, and Ahern won the leadership with 30 votes to <mask>'s 16 and Russ Hinze's 2.<mask> won the deputy leadership unopposed. Bjelke-Petersen finally stepped down on 1 December 1987. Ahern and <mask> then each assumed eight portfolios temporarily while the process of choosing a new Cabinet was undertaken, and on 9 December, <mask> was appointed Deputy Premier, Minister for Public Works, Main Roads, Police and the World Expo 88 to be held in Brisbane. Among other things, he was responsible for a multimillion-dollar program to help local councils develop regional road infrastructure, and getting bullet-proof vests as standard issue for police officers. On 25 September 1989, following Russell Cooper's ascension to the premiership, he became Minister for Finance and Local Government. The National Party was defeated at the December 1989 elections by the Labor Party led by Wayne Goss. <mask>'s seat of Somerset was abolished in a redistribution designed to end the so-called Bjelkemander which had malapportioned seats in favour of country areas, and he retired at the 1992 election.Later life
<mask>'s daughter Helen married a man from Badu Island in the Torres Strait, and <mask> visited the islands many times, developing a love for the islands and their people, culture and history. On 20 September 2001, he died at the Gatton Hospital and was buried privately after a State funeral at the Laidley Cultural Centre six days later. Legacy
The <mask> Dam is named after him. References

title: Paul Winfield

texts: His first major feature film role was in the 1969 film The Lost Man starring Sidney Poitier. <mask> first became well known to television audiences when he appeared for several years opposite Diahann Carroll on the groundbreaking television series Julia.Filmed during a high point of racial tensions in the United States, the show was unique in featuring a black female as the central character. He also starred as Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1978 miniseries King. In 1973, <mask> was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for the 1972 film Sounder, and his co-star in that film, Cicely Tyson, was nominated for Best Actress. Prior to their nominations and Diana Ross's for Lady Sings the Blues the same year, only three other black Americans – Dorothy Dandridge, Sidney Poitier and James Earl Jones – had ever been nominated for a leading role. He also appeared, in a different role, in the 2003 Disney-produced television remake of Sounder, which was directed by Kevin Hooks, his co-star from the original. <mask> played the part of "Jim the Slave" in Huckleberry Finn (1974) which was a musical based on the novel by Mark Twain. <mask> would recall late in his career that as a young actor he had played one of the two leads in Of Mice and Men in local repertory, made up in whiteface, since a black actor playing it would have been unthinkable.<mask> also starred in miniseries, including Scarlett, and two based on the works of novelist Alex Haley: Roots: The Next Generations and Queen: The Story of an American Family. <mask> gained a new segment of fans for his brief but memorable roles in several science fiction television series and movies.

title: Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick

texts:
<mask> (<mask>; ; 17 November 1887 – 30 January 1953) was the reigning Duke of Brunswick from 2 November 1913 to 8 November 1918. He was a grandson of George V of Hanover, whom the Prussians had deposed from the Hanoverian throne in 1866, and Christian IX of Denmark. Early life

<mask> was born at Penzing near Vienna, the sixth and youngest child of former Crown Prince <mask> of Hanover and his wife, Princess Thyra of Denmark. His great-grandfather, Prince <mask>, Duke of Cumberland, the fifth son of George III of the United Kingdom, became king of Hanover in 1837 because Salic Law barred Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom, from inheriting the Hanoverian throne. His father succeeded as pretender to the Hanoverian throne and as Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale in the peerage of Great Britain in 1878. The younger <mask> became heir apparent to the dukedom of Cumberland and to the Hanoverian claim upon the deaths of his two elder brothers, George and Christian. Through his mother, he was a first cousin of Christian X of Denmark, Haakon VII of Norway, George V of the United Kingdom, Constantine I of Greece and Nicholas II of Russia.In 1884, the reigning Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, a distant cousin, died. Since the younger branch of the House of Guelph ended with him, under house rules it would have passed to the Duke of Cumberland, who immediately claimed the throne. However, the Imperial Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, managed to get the Federal Council (Bundesrat) of the German Empire to rule that the Duke of Cumberland would disturb the peace of the empire if he ascended the throne of Brunswick. Bismarck did this because

 the duke had never formally renounced his claims to the kingdom of Hanover, which had been annexed to Prussia in 1866 following the end of the Austro-Prussian War (Hanover had sided with losing Austria). Instead, Prince Albrecht of Prussia became the regent of Brunswick. After Prince Albrecht's death in 1906, the duke offered that he and his elder son, Prince George, would renounce their claims to the Duchy in order to allow <mask>, his only other surviving son, to take possession of the Duchy, but this option was rejected by the Bundesrat and the regency continued, this time under Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who had previously acted as regent for his nephew in Mecklenburg. Marriage and accession to the duchy of Brunswick

When <mask>'s older brother George died in an automobile accident on 20 May 1912, the German Emperor, Wilhelm II, sent a message of condolence to the Duke of Cumberland.In response to this friendly gesture, the Duke sent his only surviving son, <mask>, to Berlin to thank the Emperor for his message. <mask> and Wilhelm II were third cousins through George III of the United Kingdom. In Berlin, <mask> met and fell in love with the emperor's only daughter, Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia. On 24 May 1913, <mask> and Victoria Louise, third cousins once removed through descent from George III's sons King <mask> of Hanover and Edward, Duke of Kent, were married to each other. This marriage ended the decades-long rift between the Houses of Hohenzollern and Hanover. The wedding of Prince <mask> and Princess Victoria Louise was also the last great gathering of European sovereigns before the

 outbreak of the Great War. In addition to the German Emperor and Empress and the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom and Tsar Nicholas II attended.Upon the announcement of his betrothal to Princess Victoria Louise in February 1913, <mask> swore allegiance to the German Empire and accepted a commission as a cavalry captain and company commander in the Zieten–Hussars, a Prussian Army regiment in which his grandfather (George V) and great-grandfather (<mask>) had been colonels. Two imprisoned British spies Captain Stewart and Captain Trench, were pardoned and released by the German Emperor as a wedding present to the United Kingdom. George V of the United Kingdom had given consent to the marriage on 17 March 1913, as required by the Royal Marriages Act. On 27 October 1913, the Duke of Cumberland formally renounced his claims to the duchy of Brunswick in favor of his surviving son. The following day, the Federal Council voted to allow <mask> to become the reigning Duke of Brunswick. The new Duke of Brunswick formally took possession of his duchy on 1 November. He received a promotion to colonel in the Prussian Zieten Hussars.The new duke and duchess of Brunswick moved into Brunswick Palace in the capital of Brunswick and began their family with the birth of their eldest son, Prince <mask>, less than a year after their wedding. During the First World War, <mask> rose to the rank of major-general. Abdication and later life

On 8 November 1918, <mask> was forced to abdicate his throne, as were all the other German kings, grand dukes, dukes, and princes during the German Revolution of 1918–1919. Thus, when his father died in 1923, <mask> did not succeed to his father's title of Duke of Cumberland. For the next thirty years, <mask> remained as head of the House of Hanover, living in retirement on his various estates, mainly Blankenburg Castle in Germany and Cumberland Castle in Gmunden, Austria. He also owned Marienburg Castle near Hanover, although rarely ever living there until 1945.While <mask> never officially joined the Nazi Party, he donated funds and was close to several leaders. As a former British prince, <mask>, as well as Victoria Louise, desired a rapprochement between England and Germany. Ostensibly desiring to pursue an alliance with the UK, in the mid-1930s, Adolf Hitler took advantage of their sentiment by asking the couple to arrange a match between their daughter Princess Frederica and the Prince of Wales. The Duke and Duchess of Brunswick refused, believing that the age difference was too great. After his abdication in 1936, Edward VIII and his wife visited "the Cumberlands" at Cumberland Castle in Gmunden, Austria. In 1938 Princess Frederica married Prince Paul of Greece, brother and heir-presumptive of King George II of Greece. By the time the Second World War ended in Europe in April 1945, he and his family were staying at Blankenburg.A few days before Blankenburg was handed over to the Red Army by British and U.S. forces in late 1945, to
