 <mask> moved to the Shakespeare's Head, opposite Catherine Street in the Strand; his former shop at Gray's Inn Gate was announced for sale in the Tatler for 14 October (No. 237); and it seems to have been taken by Thomas Osborne, stationer, the father of the afterwards well-known publisher, Thomas Osborne (died 1767). On 26 July 1711, after a long interval, Swift met Addison and Steele "at young <mask>'s". "The two Jacobs", says Jonathan Swift to Esther Johnson, "think it I who have made the secretary take from them the printing of the Gazette, which they are going to lose.... <mask> came to me t'other day to make his court; but I told him it was too late, and that it was not my doing." Accounts furnished to Steele by <mask> of the sale of the collective editions of the Tatler and Spectator have been preserved; from October 1712 Tonson's name was joined with Samuel Buckley's as publisher of the Spectator. In November 1712 Addison and Steele sold all their right and title in one half of the copies of the first seven volumes of the Spectator to Tonson the younger, for £575, and all rights in the other half for a similar sum to Buckley.Buckley in October 1714 reassigned his half-share in the Spectator to <mask> junior for £500. <mask> published Addison's tragedy, Cato, in April 1713; and, according to a concocted letter of Pope's, the true reason why Steele brought the Guardian to an end in October was a quarrel with <mask>, its publisher; "he stood engaged to his bookseller in articles of penalty for all the
Guardians, and by desisting two days, and altering the title of the paper to that of the Englishman, was quit of the obligation, those papers being printed by Buckley." There are various reasons why this story is improbable; the truth seems to be that Steele was anxious to write on politics with a

 freer hand than was practicable in the Guardian. In the summer of 1714 we hear of Steele writing political pamphlets at Tonson's, where there were three bottles of wine of Steele's, and in October Tonson printed Steele's Ladies' Library. <mask> appears in Rowe's Dialogue between Tonson and Congreve, in imitation of Horace:

Thou, <mask>nson, were, to my conceiving,
The cheerfullest, best, honest fellow living. In the same year <mask>, with Barnaby Bernard Lintot and William Taylor, was appointed one of the printers of the parliamentary votes. Next year he paid fifty guineas for the copyright of Addison's comedy, The Drummer, and published Thomas Tickell's translation of the first book of the Iliad, which gave offence to Pope.On 6 February 1718 Lintot entered into a partnership agreement with <mask> for the purchase of plays during eighteen months following that date. In one of several amusing letters from Vanbrugh, now at Bayfordbury, <mask>, who was then in Paris, was congratulated upon his luck in South Sea stock, and there is other evidence that he made a large sum in connection with Law's Mississippi scheme. "He has got £40,000" wrote Robert Arbuthnot; "riches will make people forget their trade." In January 1720 <mask> obtained a grant to himself and his nephew of the office of stationer, bookseller, and printer to some of the principal public offices; and on 12 October 1722 he assigned the whole benefit of the grant to his nephew. The grant was afterwards renewed by Robert Walpole, in 1733, for a second term of forty years. The elder <mask> seems to have given up business about 1720. He had bought the Hazells estate at Ledbury, Herefordshire, and in 1721 he was sending presents of cider to the Dukes of Grafton and Newcastle, the latter of whom called <mask> "my dear old friend," and asked him to

 give him his company in Sussex.Henceforth we may suppose, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that "<mask>" in contemporary allusions means the nephew. Steele's Conscious Lovers appeared in 1722, and <mask> assigned to Lintot half the copyright for £70. He had to apply to the court of chancery for an injunction to stop Robert Tooke and others printing a pirated edition of the play; the sum paid for the copyright was £40. In the same year <mask> published the Duke of Buckingham's Works, and in 1725 Pope's edition of Shakespeare. Proposals were issued by <mask> in January 1729 for completing the subscription to the new edition of Rymer's Fœdera, in seventeen folio volumes (of which fifteen were then printed), at fifty guineas the set. The work was finished in 1735. <mask> published a quarto edition of Waller's works, edited by Fenton, in 1729, and an edition of Lord Lansdowne's works in 1732.Pope was annoyed to find in 1731 that <mask> was to be one of the publishers of Lewis Theobald's proposed edition of Shakespeare, in which he feared an attack on his own editorial work, but he professed to be satisfied with the assurances he received. In writing to the elder <mask> on this subject, Pope asked for any available information respecting the "Man of Ross," and, in thanking
him for the particulars received, explained his intention in singling out this man as the centre of a poem. Earlier in the year the elder <mask> was in town, and Pope, writing to Lord Oxford, said that if he would come to see him he would show him a phenomenon worth seeing, "old <mask>, who is the perfect image and likeness of Bayle's Dictionary; so full of matter, secret history, and wit and spirit, at almost fourscore." On 19 March Lord Oxford, Lord Bathurst, Pope, and Gay dined with old <mask> at Barnes and drank Swift's

 health. In 1734 Samuel Gibbons was appointed stationer to the Prince of Wales in place of <mask>. <mask> junior predeceased his uncle, dying on 25 November 1735, worth £100,000. His will, of great length, was written on 16 August and proved on 6 December 1735.The elder <mask>'s death at Ledbury followed that of his nephew on 17 March 1735/6. The elder <mask>'s will was made on 2 December 1735 and proven in probate on 2 April 1736, when he was described as worth £40,000. A painting of the elder <mask> by Godfrey Kneller is among the Kit-Cat portraits; it is best known through Faber's engraving. Pope says that <mask> obtained portraits from Kneller without payment by flattering him and sending him presents of venison and wine. Dryden's satirical account of his appearance has been quoted; Pope, in The Dunciad calls him "left-legged <mask>" and "genial <mask>". John Dunton describes <mask> as "a very good judge of persons and authors; and as there is nobody more competently qualified to give their opinion of another, so there is none who does it with a more severe exactness or with less partiality; for, to do Mr. <mask> justice, he speaks his mind upon all occasions, and will flatter nobody." No doubt this roughness of manner wore off as Tonson grew in prosperity.<mask> the younger
<mask> (died 1767) (<mask> the younger) was the great-nephew of the <mask> the elder and son of <mask> junior. He carried on the publishing business in the Strand. In 1747 he paid Warburton £500 for editing Shakespeare, and he was eulogised by Steevens [sic] in the advertisement prefixed to his edition of Shakespeare 1778: "he never learned to consider the author as an under-agent to the bookseller . . . His manners were soft and his conversation delicate," but he reserved his acquaintance for a small number. Samuel Johnson spoke

 of him as "the late amiable Mr. <mask>." In 1750 he was High Sheriff of Surrey, and in 1759 he paid the fine for being excused serving the same office for the city of London and county of Middlesex.There is a story of his having twice helped Henry Fielding when that writer was unable to pay his taxes. <mask> died on 31 March 1767, without issue, in a house on the north side of the Strand, near Catherine Street, whither he had removed the business some years earlier. His will was made in 1763. In 1775 letters of administration of the goods of <mask>, left unadministered by <mask>, were granted to William Baker, esq. (M.P. for Hertfordshire), and in 1823, Baker having failed to administer, letters of administration were granted to Joseph Rogers. <mask>
<mask> (died 1772), the third <mask>'s brother, who took little part in the concerns of the business, lived at Water Oakley, near Windsor, where he built a room for the Kit-Cat portraits.His benevolence and hospitality made him popular, and in 1747 he was elected MP for Wallingford, and in 1768 MP for New Windsor. In some correspondence with the Duke of Newcastle in 1767, the duke spoke of his old friendship with <mask>, "the heir of one I honoured and loved, and have passed many most agreeable hours with." <mask> died on 9 October 1772. Besides the papers at Bayfordbury, there is a considerable collection of Tonson papers in the British Museum, some relating to business and some to private matters; but many of them are damaged or fragmentary.

<mask> (, born 24 May 1970) is a Chinese film director and screenwriter. He is generally regarded as a leading figure of the "Sixth Generation" movement of Chinese cinema, a group that also includes such figures as Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, Wang Quan'an and Zhang Yuan. Jia's early films, a loose trilogy based in his home province of Shanxi, were made outside of China's state-run film bureaucracy, and therefore are considered "underground" films. Beginning in 2004, <mask>'s status in his own country rose when he was allowed to direct his fourth feature film, The World, with state approval. <mask>'s films have received critical praise and have been recognized internationally, notably winning the Venice Film Festival's top award Golden Lion for Still Life. NPR critic John Powers praised him as "(perhaps) the most important filmmaker working in the world today." Early life
<mask> was born in Fenyang, Shanxi, China.His interest in film began in the early 1990s, as an art student at the Shanxi University in Taiyuan. On a lark, Jia attended a screening of Chen Kaige's Yellow Earth. The film, according to Jia, was life changing, and convinced the young man that he wanted to be a director. Jia would eventually make it to China's prestigious Beijing Film Academy in 1993, as a film theory major, giving him access to both western and eastern classics, as well as an extensive film library. Career

Early work
While a student at the Beijing Film Academy, Jia would make three short films to hone his skills. The first, a ten-minute short documentary on tourists in Tiananmen Square entitled One Day in Beijing, was made in 1994 on self-raised funds. Though <mask> has referred to his first directorial effort as inconsequential and "naive", he also described the

 short day and a half shoot as "excitement...difficult to express in words."But it was <mask>'s second directorial effort, the short film Xiao Shan Going Home (1995), that would bring him to the attention of the film world. It was a film that helped establish Jia's style and thematic interests and, in Jia's words, was a film that "truly marks the beginning of my career as a filmmaker." Xiao Shan would eventually screen abroad where it won a top prize at the 1997 Hong Kong Independent Short Film & Video Awards. More significantly, the film's success brought Jia in contact with cinematographer Yu Lik-wai and producer Li Kit Ming, two men who along with producer/editor Chow Keung would come to form <mask> <mask>'s "core...creative team." With their support, Jia was able to begin work on Xiao Wu, which would become his first feature film. Before graduating, however, Jia would make one more short film, Du Du (1996), a film about a female college student faced with several life-changing decisions. The film, little seen and rarely available, was for Jia an exercise of experimentation and technique, as it was filmed without a script.For Jia, the film was an important learning experience, even if he was "not terribly proud" of the end result. Underground success
Upon graduation, Jia embarked on his first feature-length film, with producer Li Kit Ming and cinematographer Yu Lik-wai. Xiao Wu, a film about a pickpocket in Jia's native Fenyang, emerged from Jia's desire to capture the massive changes that had happened to his home in the past few years. Additionally, the film was a rejection of what Jia felt was the fifth generation's increasing tendency to move away from the reality of modern China and into the realm of historical legend. Shot on a mere

texts: 400,000 RMB budget (or about US$50,000), Xiao Wu would prove to be a major success on the international film circuit, bringing Jia a deal with Takeshi Kitano's production house. Jia capitalized on his success with Xiao Wu with a two internationally acclaimed independent features. The first, Platform, was partially funded in 1998 through the Pusan Promotion Plan (PPP) of the Busan (Pusan) International Film Festival when <mask> received the Hubert Bals Fund Award (HBF) for his project.(Ahn, Soo Jeong, The Pusan Film Festival, South Korean Cinema and Globalization, 2012, 104-105). Platform was a three-hour epic about a provincial dance and music troupe transitioning from the 1970s to the early 1990s. The film has been called the masterpiece of the entire sixth generation movement. Starring Wang Hongwei, Jia's classmate and star of Xiao Shan Going Home and Xiao Wu, Platform was also the first of Jia's films to star actress Zhao Tao, a former dance teacher. Zhao would go on to serve as Jia's muse as the lead female role in Unknown Pleasures, The World, and Still Life, as well as acting in 24 City and the short film Cry Me a River (both in 2008). With 2002's Unknown Pleasures, <mask> began a foray into filming in digital video (although his first experimentation with the medium came a year before, in 2001's short documentary In Public). Xiao Wu, Platform and Unknown Pleasures are sometimes seen collectively as an informal trilogy of China's transition into modernity.Unknown Pleasures, a meditation on the aimless "birth control" generation to emerge from the one-child policy helped cement <mask>'s reputation as a major voice in contemporary Chinese cinema. All this despite limited theatrical runs and obscurity in mainland China. Indeed, none of

 the three films was ever publicly released in the PRC, although unlicensed DVD sales were brisk, a fact commented on by Jia near the end of Unknown Pleasures when Xiao Wu, the character (Wang Hongwei again), attempts to buy the DVD of Xiao Wu, the film. Wider success

Beginning with 2004's The World, Jia began to work with official approval from the Chinese government. The shift from independent to state-approved was not in isolation, however, but was part of a broader movement by many "underground" film directors turning legitimate. For many critics, the shift to legitimacy did not blunt Jia's critical eye, and The World was well received both abroad and – somewhat surprisingly – by the Chinese government. Taking place in Beijing World Park, the film was also <mask>'s first to take place outside of his home province of Shanxi.In 2006, <mask> returned to his experimentation with digital film with his film Still Life. The film would see Jia's status both at home and abroad raised when it won the coveted Golden Lion in the 2006 Venice Film Festival. The film, a diptych film about two people searching for their spouses in the backdrop of the Three Gorges Dam, was accompanied by the companion documentary Dong, about artist Liu Xiaodong. The 2000s have seen <mask> at a prolific period of his career. Following the success of Still Life, Jia was reported to be working on a gangster film, The Age of Tattoo ("Ciqing shidai"). Originally planned to be released in 2007, production on The Age of Tattoo was delayed after lead Jay Chou pulled out of the project, with Jia moving on to other films. These included a second documentary, Useless, about China's clothing manufacturing business, which garnered the director the Orizzonti Doc Prize at Venice in

I Wish I Knew is a documentary exploring the changing face of Shanghai. I Wish I Knew debuted in the Un certain regard competition in the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. During the press conference of 18 April 2013, <mask>'s film Tian Zhu Ding (A Touch of Sin) was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. He won the award for Best Screenplay. In April 2014, he was announced as a member of the main competition jury at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. His 2015 film Mountains May Depart was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.In October 2017, <mask> announced the establishment of the Pingyao International Film Festival (PYIFF) in Shanxi. Style and influences
Jia's films treat themes of alienated youth, contemporary Chinese history and globalization, as well as his signature usage of the long-take, colorful digital video and his minimalist/realist style. The World, in particular, with its portrayal of gaudy theme park filled with recreations of foreign landmarks is often noted for its critique of the globalization of China. <mask>'s work speaks to a vision of "authentic" Chinese life, and his consistent return to the themes of alienation and disorientation fly in the face of the work of older filmmakers who present more idealized understandings of Chinese society. Critic Howard


title: Jia Zhangke

texts:
 Feinstein described the director as a "rare breed of filmmaker capable of combining stunning artifice with documentary truth." Critics have noted that whereas "Fifth Generation" filmmakers such as Zhang Yimou churn out export-friendly and lushly-colored wuxia dramas, Jia, as a "Sixth Generation" filmmaker, rejects the idealization of these narratives in favor of a more nuanced style. His films, from Xiao Wu and Unknown Pleasures to Platform and The World, eschew the son et lumière that characterizes so many contemporary Chinese exports.But the films' recurrent and reflexive use of "pop" motifs ensure that they are more self-aware than the similarly documentarian Chinese films of Jia's Sixth Generation peers. <mask> has commented in the past on the influence of filmmakers Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yasujirō Ozu on his work. I Wish I Knew, a 2010 documentary of his, features a segment about the 1972 documentary Chung Kuo, by Michelangelo Antonioni – another filmmaker to whose work Jia's own has been compared.

texts:
<mask> (; 23 October 1932 – 4 December 2012) was a Soviet and Russian writer, poet and dramatist, who published more than sixty books which sold (as of 1998) seven million copies. A prominent member of the influential 1970s–1980s derevenschiki movement, <mask>'s best known novels include Business as Usual (Привычное дело, 1966), Eves (Кануны, 1972–1987), Everything's Ahead (Всё впереди, 1986) and The Year of a Major Breakdown (Год великого перелома, 1989–1994). <mask> was a harsh critic of the Soviet rural policies (particularly collectivization), which he felt were dominated by the cosmopolitan doctrines aiming at repressing the Russian national identity. Even detractors, though, praised <mask>'s tough stance on ecological issues and his activities aimed at restoration of the old Russian historic sites and churches. A great admirer of Ivan Ilyin and his legacy, <mask> financed the publication of the first Complete Ilyin collection and wrote a preface for it. <mask>, the USSR State Prize (1981) and the State Prize of the Russian Federation (2003) laureate, was also a recipient of the Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1982), the Order of Lenin (1984), the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland", 4th class (2003) and the Order of Honour (2003). Biography
<mask> was born in Timonikha, Kharovsky District, Northern Krai, now Vologda Oblast, into a peasant family, the eldest of five children.His father <mask> was killed in 1943 in the Second World War. While at school, <mask> had to work at the local kolkhoz, helping his mother to raise the family. His main memory of childhood, as <mask> once recalled, was that of "overbearing hunger, for food and books." In 1949 he joined a professional college in Sokol, Vologda Oblast to learn the craft of carpenter and joiner. After the army he worked in

 one of the Molotov factories, then in 1956 moved back to Vologda where he started contributing to the regional Communard newspaper. Supported by Aleksander Yashin, an established Vologda writer, <mask> in 1959 enrolled into the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in Moscow. Career
In 1961 <mask> <mask>'s first book of poetry My Small Forest Village was published, along with the Village Berdyaika novella, his debut in prose.In 1963 he became a member of the Union of Soviet Writers and a year later, having graduated the Gorky Institute, returned to Vologda. In 1964 his book of short stories Sultry Summer was published, followed by Beyond the Three Voloks (1965). It was the novella Privychnoye delo (Business as Usual, 1966) published by Sever magazine, that made <mask> a well-known author, its main character Ivan Africanovich soon becoming the village prose movement's token figure. Business as Usual was miles apart from the standards of Socialist realism, and the magazine's editor Dmitry Gusarov even had to place the "To be concluded" tag in the end of it to appease censors who felt the story's finale was "too pessimistic". It was followed in 1968 by the Carpenter Tales short stories collection (published in Aleksandr Tvardovsky's Novy Mir) and then Vologda Bukhtinas (1969) a set of modern local folklore pieces. The leitmotif of the collection Upbringing According to Dr. Spock (1974) was the rural-against-urban lifestyle dilemma, the latter seen by the author as unnatural, amoral and deficient. In contrast, 1979's Lad (Harmony) compilation of ethnographical essays proved to be <mask>'s most cheerful book, portraying the traditional Russian rural ways of life as an idyll of man living in harmony with nature.An outspoken opponent of some of the Soviet official policies, <mask> <mask> has

In 1981 he received the USSR State Prize ("For creating works of superb artistic quality"), then the Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1982) and Order of Lenin (1984). In the early 1980s he became one of the leading figures in the Soviet Writers Union and the Russian Federation Writers Union's first secretary. His plays Over the Light Waters, On the 206th, The Immortal Koshchey were running in theatres all over the country, all highlighting the idea of fighting amorality (the natural consequence of urbanization, as he saw it) and concentrating upon preserving the Russian natural riches. The 1986 Everything's Ahead novel, again targeting the urban set of values, caused controversy and brought about heated discussion in the Soviet press. It was followed by Such Was the War (1987), a collection comprising a novel and some short stories. Before that, in 1983, one of <mask>'s best-known works, the Eves (the novel which he started in 1972) came out, followed by The Year of a Major Breakdown (1989–1991) and The Sixth Hour (The 1932 Chronicle).This epic trilogy, telling the tragic story of three peasant families, became arguably the strongest statement against collectivization in the non-dissident Soviet literature, exploring what the author saw as the conflict between Russian rural traditionalism and the Bolsheviks-imposed 'rootlessness', the latter leading to chaos, mass murder and degradation.

 <mask> and his family moved from Montana to the Oregon coast. As a boy, <mask> and his friends were almost always outside, rain or shine, fishing and crabbing off the cannery docks and digging for clams in the mudflats. "The only thing that would bring him inside was food," said <mask>' Mom. When <mask> was thirteen, his parents moved to Eugene, Oregon, where they divorced. <mask> and his three siblings lived with their mother and survived at times on food stamps and public housing assistance.When his mother could not find work in Eugene in 1979 and moved to Portland, <mask> stayed in Eugene, living largely on his own and supported himself working as a cook at a Mr. Steak restaurant throughout most of his high school years. He graduated from high school in 1982, then started at the University of Oregon in 1984, but did not finish. <mask> went back to college while working full time in 1999, at Portland State University. He graduated with a BA in political science in 2002 from the University of Oregon. Summarizing his early life, the Willamette Week noted that <mask> "got a rough start in life. Not a lot of closeted, bullied, small-town welfare kids with divorced parents grow up to be the mayor of a major U.S. city. But unlike some politicians, <mask> has not made his personal story a platform.His tough upbringing in Newport shapes his priorities." Career

Mayoralty

In 2009, <mask> in his inauguration speech said his top three priorities were creating more family-wage jobs, reducing the high school dropout rate, and making Portland more sustainable. In his first State of the City address on February 27, 2009, <mask> outlined his goal of making Portland "the most sustainable city in the world". <mask> emphasized reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and investment in efficient green energy as essential to the city's energy-environmental goals and called on the Oregon State Legislature to provide incentives for the expansion of green energy companies, notably Vestas Wind Systems, into the Portland metropolitan area. Later that year, <mask> was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing related to a consensual sexual relationship with a young adult he met in 2005. <mask> said the deception about the relationship was warranted because a political opponent had falsely accused him of having sex with a minor, but later apologized. That year he also established a local economic stimulus plan by fast-tracking capital improvement projects, secured a Major League Soccer franchise, began work on the Oregon Sustainability Center established a free-bus-ride program designed to help low-income students more easily get to school, helped secure $2.5 million in new grants designed to help the city reduce diesel emissions, began construction of 15 miles of bike boulevards, and consolidated the city's permitting process.<mask> announced his support of new regulations for horse-drawn carriages in September 2009 after a horse died in downtown Portland a month earlier. <mask> recommended that planners at the Revenue Bureau write new city codes that would cover working conditions for equine

In September 2009, he opposed the $4 billion, twelve-lane replacement for the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River, a plan he had once supported. <mask> stated, "I'd rather settle for a bad bridge for another 25 years than a terrible bridge that punishes Portland for another 100 years." The twelve-lane idea was a compromise deal <mask> helped write with then-Mayor Royce Pollard of Vancouver, Washington, in February, 2009. That deal helped get the Portland City Council to agree for a bridge of up to twelve lanes, something Vancouver wanted in exchange for its support of Portland's MAX Light Rail extension across the I-5 bridge. <mask> focused on improving the local economy by attracting large, sustainable employers to Portland, including a $200-million investment by the company Vestas.In 2010, <mask> in his State of the City address was praised by environmental organizations and criticized by coal advocates for his successful efforts to shrink Portland's carbon footprint through programs such as Clean Energy Works, the nation's first on-bill financing for home retrofitting. <mask> also became known for leading the creation of Portland's "Citizen Reports" iPhone application. He also appeared in Portlandia'''s second episode as <mask>, assistant to the Mayor of Portland. In November of that year, <mask> fired the police chief and then fired a police officer who had shot and killed an unarmed citizen. He recruited a wind company to spend $66 million on development and hire 400 employees, established the city's first economic development plan, developed programs designed to reduce Portland's high school dropout rate and make the city more sustainable, and, along with the rest of the city council,

After applying for the job in December 2012, <mask> was selected from a pool of 80 applicants for the position, which paid him $80,000 in 2013. <mask> characterized his new position as a "fantastic opportunity to do community building, work on improving the civic health of the city, and to support the members' work in researching tough public policy issues. Established in 1916, the City Club of Portland had about 1500 members and four paid employees in 2013. During his two-year tenure, City Club membership grew by 47 percent and corporate sponsorships doubled.

 Institute, a global nonprofit dedicated to environmental sustainability.<mask> moved to Washington, D.C. as a result. In November of 2017, <mask> was accused of sexual harassment by a former aide when he was mayor, and in December of 2017, he left his position at the World Resources Institute, although the allegations were not a factor in his choice to resign. The Willamette Week interviewed 10 staffers who were present at the time relating to the allegations and found "none say they believe <mask> had sexually harassed Gonzalez. Moreover, none recalled Gonzalez ever complaining about harassment." Return to Portland
In 2020, <mask> returned to Portland and ran for City Council, but lost in the primary by about 2,000 votes. In 2021, he became the director of strategic innovations for mayor Ted Wheeler. In that job, he is currently leading efforts to clean up and revive the city after the coronavirus pandemic and protests.Personal life
From 1992 until 2004, <mask> was in a long-term relationship with Greg Eddie. During that time, in 1993, he was outed as gay by the alternative newspaper Willamette Week. In 2007, the former couple, in a challenge to the state constitution, filed suit against the State of Oregon to dissolve their domestic partnership and divide <mask>' future pension. After his break-up with Eddie, <mask> was, for the first time, both openly gay and single. <mask> lamented his lack of "gaydar". He said this made him decide to date only men who asked him out first. In 2005, <mask> met Beau Breedlove, a 17-year-old interning for Oregon State Representative Kim Thatcher.In September 2007, <mask> denied rumors of a sexual relationship between the two, calling the allegations scurrilous, and adding that they

texts: played into stereotypes of predatory gays. In January 2009, after being confronted with a story in Willamette Week, <mask> acknowledged lying about the nature of their sexual relationship. Breedlove confirmed <mask>' accounts. <mask> apologized, saying he had lied to avoid accusations of grooming a minor and the likely disruption such allegations would cause in his mayoral campaign. <mask> cited the "swift public condemnation" of former mayor and governor Neil Goldschmidt in 2004 by the news media as weighing heavily in his decision to lie. "[N]o one's going to believe me [that he was eighteen]". Oregon had already seen several prominent political sex scandals; prior to Goldschmidt's, there was one involving Senator Bob Packwood in 1992.The "well-funded newsroom" of The Oregonian had been criticized for failing to pursue both stories. In the Goldschmidt case, the Oregonian publicly debated with Willamette Week over which publication reported more accurately and aggressively. <mask> also announced his intention to remain in office. News of the deception led Oregon Attorney General John Kroger to initiate a criminal investigation in January 2009. By June, his office announced that no charges would be filed and that there was "no credible evidence" of inappropriate sexual contact before the age of consent. Before Kroger's findings were made public, several newspapers called for <mask>' resignation. The Portland Mercury and the board of the Portland Area Business Association, the LGBTQ chamber of commerce, spoke out against resignation.Out magazine columnist Dan Savage noted what he saw as hypocrisy, homophobia, and sex panic about age disparity in sexual relationships.

The backers posited that a "lack of trust and political capital" was affecting their businesses' bottom lines. However, it too failed due to lack of sufficient signatures.<mask> also dated Christopher Stowell, artistic director of Oregon Ballet Theatre. <mask> met his partner Peter Zuckerman in 2008.

 audiences, and was cancelled in the Spring of 1996. After completing Dear God in the summer of 1996, <mask> was contacted by NBC President Warren Littlefield, who had taken notice of her performance in Partners. Littlefield then signed her to a development deal with the network. In early 1997, while trying to acquire a stake in DreamWorks Studios, NBC tried to leverage <mask>, as well as director James Burrows with a project titled Nearly Yours, which actress Parker Posey had dropped out of. DreamWorks and NBC could not come to an agreement, and the deal collapsed.The squabbling between NBC and DreamWorks left the network with a programming hole, and <mask> without a television project for all of 1997. It wasn't until filming began on Something To Believe In (1997), and Godzilla (May 1997), that she returned to work. NBC continued to search for a suitable television project for <mask>, and with input from Littlefield, developed the sitcom House Rules, which aired as a mid-season replacement in March 1998. Godzilla (1998)
<mask> starred as Audrey Timmonds in the TriStar Pictures film Godzilla, which opened in theaters on May 20, 1998. The film and <mask>'s performance were skewered by fans and critics alike:

"At its release, the film was much criticized by Godzilla fans the world over. Kenpachiro Satsuma, the actor who portrayed Godzilla in the second series of films (1984–1995) walked out of a Tokyo screening and told reporters that, 'It's not Godzilla, it does not have the spirit." In 2004, director Roland Emmerich expressed his feelings about the film:

"In interviews promoting The Day After Tomorrow, Emmerich admitted regretting the production of Godzilla, particularly due to the rushed shooting schedule that was required for a Memorial Day weekend release and the studio's insistence on not test-screening the film.However, he defended the film

 as better than critics gave it credit for, as it was financially successful, and out of all the films he directed, it was the one which parents told him their children enjoyed the most"'. In subsequent years, both Emmerich and writer Dean Devlin said little about the film. It wasn't until Devlin was pressed about the upcoming 2014 interpretation of Godzilla, that he expressed lament about his interpretation of the franchise:

"I know I screwed up my Godzilla,' he said. 'I’d be very happy if they pull it off and do a great one'". Godzilla was nominated in several categories for Razzie awards, and <mask> herself won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress in 1999. <mask> is known to have commented once about her role in Godzilla:

"This movie isn't written for big performances from its actors," <mask> says. "I don't expect a lot from it.It won't be like, `Oh, <mask> is a great actress.' But it's an opportunity for people to see me." Godzilla 2 (1999)

<mask>, Matthew Broderick, and Jean Reno were each under contract for a total of three Godzilla films. The first installment, having earned $379 million during its theatrical run, ensured that a sequel would be considered. Tri Star Pictures, which owned rights to the franchise, called on Centropolis to begin pre-production work on a sequel, which was tentatively named Godzilla 2. Ultimately, there was little enthusiasm to move forward, and the rights to the franchise were allowed to expire. Late career
By 2000, <mask> had starred in the indie film, Dirk & Betty, the comedy-drama, After Sex, and made guest appearances on several television shows.Her last film role was the Made-For-TV movie The Christmas Secret, starring Richard Thomas, and Beau Bridges.

title: Lucius Julius Iullus (consul)

texts:
<mask> (  438–430 BC) was a member of the ancient patrician gens Julia. He was one of the consular tribunes of 438 BC, magister equitum in 431, and consul in 430 BC. Family
<mask> was the son of Vopiscus <mask>, who had been consul in 473 BC, and grandson of the <mask> who had been consul in 489. His uncle Gaius was consul in 482 BC, and the <mask> who was consul in 447 and again in 435 was his cousin. He was the father of <mask>, consular tribune in 401 and 397 BC. The Sextus <mask> who was consular tribune in 424 might have been <mask>' younger brother, or perhaps a cousin. Career

Consular tribune
The year before his election, Rome suffered through a severe grain shortage, and in order to forestall famine, a wealthy plebeian merchant named Spurius Maelius, who had purchased large stores of grain, sold it to the people at a low price.The patrician <mask> Augurinus, who was praefectus annonae, or president of the grain market, accused Maelius of conspiring to overthrow the state, and <mask> Cincinnatus was nominated dictator to deal with the emergency. Cincinnatus summoned Maelius to appear before him and answer the charges, and when he refused the merchant was cut down by Gaius Servilius Ahala, the magister equitum. To the plebeians, the accusation and killing of Maelius was nothing short of the murder of someone who had come to their aid, and they refused to permit the election of consuls for the following year. In place of consuls, three men were elected consular tribunes: Mamercus Aemilius Mamercinus, whom Livy calls "a man of high distinction", received the most votes, probably reflecting the confidence the plebeians had in his even-handedness, followed by <mask> Cincinnatus, son of the dictator, presumably representing the aristocratic party, and <mask> Iulus. During their year of office, the Latin city of Fidenae, long dominated by Rome, gave its allegiance to the Etruscan Lars Tolumnius, King of Veii. Four

 envoys were sent to the Fidenates to demand an explanation, and were murdered, ostensibly on the orders of Tolumnius. The breaking of the alliance and murder of the Roman envoys prompted the Senate to declare war against Veii and its allies, although hostilities would not begin until the following year.The Romans were victorious, and Tolumnius was slain in battle. Magister equitum
Seven years later, as Rome was emerging from one of its periodic epidemics, word arrived from Rome's neighbors, the Hernici, that the Aequi and Volsci were rising in arms, and fortifying a position on Mount Algidus. According to some of Livy's sources, the consuls, Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus Pennus and <mask> Mento, engaged the Aequi and Volsci at Mount Algidus and were defeated. Either because of this, or the general state of disarray at Rome, in which the consuls were in perpetual disagreement, a group of moderates urged the tribunes of the plebs to pressure the consuls to name a dictator. The Senate was opposed to this plan, but even as they railed against the presumption of the tribunes to compel the consuls to take action or face imprisonment, Quinctius and Mento preferred to throw in their lot with the people than with the Senate. Predictably, the consuls could not agree on a candidate, and so the choice fell to Quinctius by lot. He nominated his father-in-law, Aulus Postumius Tubertus, who named <mask> Iulus his master of the horse.Postumius ordered the Latins and Hernici to raise troops, while he assembled a Roman army. When all three forces were ready, the dictator marched for the enemy camp, leaving the Magister Equitum and the consul <mask> to defend the city. The battle was extremely fierce; the dictator was wounded in the shoulder, while his cousin, Spurius Postumius Albus, who had been consul the previous year, left the field when his skull was fractured by a rock. The consul Quinctius lost an arm in the fighting, and Marcus

In the following year, 430, <mask> was elected consul, together with Gaius Papirius Crassus, over the opposition of the tribunes of the plebs, who had sought to elect consular tribunes instead. During their year of office, the Aequi sent a delegation to the Senate, requesting a treaty, and were granted an eight-year truce.The Volsci were occupied by internal dissension, and so Rome was at peace. The domestic harmony was threatened, however, when the censors, <mask> and Publius Pinarius, levied numerous fines, payable only in cattle under the terms of the Lex Aternia Tarpeia of 454 BC, thereby depriving numerous citizens of their cattle in order to enrich the state. The plebeian tribunes intended to propose a law converting the fine from one that was literally pecuniary to one payable in money, a measure that the people greatly desired. But when one of the tribunes informed the consuls of this plan, <mask> and Papirius anticipated the scheme by proposing the law themselves, thereby depriving the tribunes of what might have been seen as a victory over the patricians.

He played an important role in the history of Russian opera and was the father of <mask>. <mask> is celebrated in Russian musical history as the man who composed the opera Ivan Susanin in 1815, 20 years before Mikhail Glinka's opera of the same name. The plot, based on an episode from Russian history, tells the story of the Russian peasant and patriotic hero Ivan Susanin who sacrifices his life for the Tsar by leading astray a group of marauding Poles who were hunting him. Early years and family
