texts:
 Zealand academic Terry Sturm wrote that she was "the first popular novelist to set all her fiction in New Zealand and to think of her readership as primarily a New Zealand one". Her books had better New Zealand sales figures than any other New Zealand author. Her novels were also popular overseas and translated into several European languages. In Germany she had several bestsellers; her book Breakfast at Six, first published in 1953 and the most popular of her novels, was translated into German and published as Frühstück um Sechs by Goldmann in 1956, and a new edition was published by Weltbild in 2001.An article in The Press in 1957 noted that very few other New Zealand authors had had works translated into foreign languages at that time, save Katherine Mansfield and Ngaio Marsh.

title: William Daniell

type: original

texts:
<mask>  (1769–1837) was an English landscape and marine painter, and printmaker, notable for his work in aquatint. He travelled extensively in India in the company of his uncle <mask>, with whom he collaborated on one of the finest illustrated works of the period – Oriental Scenery. He later travelled around the coastline of Britain to paint watercolours for the equally ambitious book A Voyage Round Great Britain. His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution and he became a Royal Academician in 1822. Early life

<mask> was born in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey. His father was a bricklayer and owner of a public house called The Swan in nearby Chertsey. Daniell's future was dramatically changed when he was sent to live with his uncle, the landscape artist <mask> (1749–1840)  after his father's premature death in 1779.In 1784 <mask> accompanied his uncle to India, who worked there on a series of prints, acting as his assistant in preparing drawings and sketches. <mask>'s brother <mask> remained independent of his uncle and also became a topographical artist; he went to South Africa in 1801 and after his return to England published African Scenery and Animals (1804–5), a collection of aquatints. From 1806 he lived in Ceylon. India
Daniell was sixteen when he accompanied his uncle to India. On 17 July 1786, a few months after their arrival in Calcutta,  <mask> placed an advertisement in the Calcutta Chronicle, announcing the forthcoming publication of a set of twelve views of the city. This seemed a promising idea, since Calcutta was rapidly expanding and its European inhabitants might be willing to buy prints showing its latest buildings. Both he and <mask> were inexperienced printmakers and had to enlist the help of Indian craftsmen, but the set, executed in aquatint, was completed in November 1788 and sold well.Thomas then began planning an ambitious tour of northern India, possibly inspired by the

 wealth of picturesque scenery indicated in <mask>'s collection of aquatints, Select Views in India (1785–8). In August 1789, Thomas and <mask> set off up-river past Murshidabad to Bhagalpur, where they stayed with Samuel Davis (1760–1819), an employee of the East India Company and a skilled amateur artist. They continued on to Kanpur and then travelled overland to Delhi, visiting Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Mathura on the way; the following April they made a pioneering tour to Srinagar, Uttarakhand and Garhwal in the Himalayas. Thomas and <mask>l were back in Calcutta at the end of 1791. They held a lottery of their completed work, using the proceeds to fund a tour to the South. Since the Third Mysore War was in progress, the Daniells suspected that a market existed among the British for oil paintings and drawings of the areas in which the conflict was taking place. They duly visited various hill-forts on their way south, as well as the huge and richly carved temples at Madurai, Mamallapuram and Rameswaram.Once back in Madras they held another lottery of their work and set off on a tour to western India. On their arrival in Bombay in March 1793 they met James Wales (1747–95), then busy drawing the area's cave temples. He took them to Elephanta, Karli and Kanheri among other places. Return to England
In September 1794 the Daniells returned to England. Over the period 1784 to 1794 <mask> had kept a detailed diary of their travels. This is now in the British Library. After 1794 he no longer kept a diary and so we have no information in his own hand about the rest of his life.The Royal Academician, Joseph Farington, himself a landscape painter and topographical draughtsman, kept a diary from 1793 until he died in 1821. The Daniells were close friends of Farington. John Garvey has gone through the diary and extracted glimpses of <mask>'s private life and of his artistic work. The diaries are almost the only written record we have of

 the life of <mask>. In 1794, <mask> and his uncle set up house at 37 Howland Street, Fitzroy Square. Their first priority was to publish a selection of their paintings of India. The views that were selected were made into aquatint prints, calling upon <mask>'s skills in this delicate medium.These skills were hard earned. Farington records in his diary that <mask> had informed him that on his return to England he spent the next seven years working from six in the morning until midnight perfecting his aquatinting techniques. Financial success
The Daniells' great work on India, Oriental Scenery, was published in six parts over the period 1795–1808. It comprised a total of 144 coloured aquatints and six uncoloured title-pages. The cost of a complete set was £210. The publication was a success, both artistically and financially. Thirty sets were sold to the East India Company, and a further order for eighteen copies was received.Thomas Sutton in his book The Daniells: Artists and Travellers (1954), quotes a glowing tribute to the work of the Daniells from the Calcutta Monthly magazine:The execution of these drawings is indeed masterly; there is every reason to confide in the fidelity of the representations; and the effect produced by this rich and splendid display of oriental scenery is truly striking. In looking at it, one may almost feel the warmth of an Indian sky, the water seems to be in actual motion and the animals, trees and plants are studies for the naturalist. Further different versions of Indian scenes were published, and details can be found in Sutton's book, together with a detailed inventory of all the artistic output of Thomas, Samuel and <mask>. Oriental Scenery took its place among such revered works as J. Stuart and N. Revett's Antiquities of Athens (1762), Baron Denon's Voyage dans la basse et la haute Egypte (1802) and Robert Wood's Ruins of Palmyra (1753) and Ruins of Balbek (1757). It provided an entirely

 new vision of the Indian subcontinent that was to influence both decorative arts and British architectural design. Above all, it formed a popular vision in Britain of a romantic and picturesque India that to some extent persists. <mask>'s years after 1804 included making 72 etchings after George Dance's highly finished pencil profile portraits of Regency London's artistic establishment.A Collection of Portraits were published over ten years from 1804. Many are now held by the National Portrait Gallery. For Rees's Cyclopædia he contributed drawings, but these have not been identified. A Voyage Round Great Britain
In 1813 <mask> decided to undertake what was to be his greatest artistic work, A Voyage Round Great Britain. His plan was to journey around the whole coast and record views of places of interest. An integral part of the venture was to provide a running commentary, which described the scenery and the conditions of the people. Daniell had already had excursions in England, Wales and Scotland and so he had a good idea where to go and what he might find by way of subjects for paintings.The original intention was to make a coastal trip by sea, but it became clear early on in the venture that this was not practical, and most of the journey around the coast had to be made by road. The journey was completed in six separate trips, over the period 1813 to 1823. In the summer of 1813, <mask> and his companion, Richard Ayton, who was to write the accompanying text, covered the coast from Land's End to Holyhead. The following year in August they went from Holyhead to Kirkcudbright. Richard Ayton did not accompany Daniell on the rest of the journey, leaving <mask> to sketch the scenery and also write the text. Daniell's approach was to make pencil sketches of views that looked interesting, annotating them with details of colour and texture. The sketches included people and scenery.The transfer of the picture from paper to copper

texts: in the form of an aquatint plate required great artistic skill and dexterity. The process is very delicate. This was done on his return to London, as was the printing and colouring of the prints. Daniell must have had a very good visual memory of the places he had visited, as up to five years elapsed between the production of the sketches and the prints being completed. In 1815, <mask> set out in May and travelled north to Wigtown. It is likely that he took the Mail Coach, a journey of 4 to 5 days. On his way north he travelled via Edinburgh, and took advice from many people there on the places to visit on the coast up and around the north of Scotland.The novelist Walter Scott not only advised Daniell  on the places to visit in Scotland, but also provided him with material for inclusion in the accompanying text. Friends in Edinburgh were able to give Daniell letters of introduction to people who were willing to provide hospitality to him on his journey. This was important, as the availability of hostelries was very limited and their quality dubious. During July and August 1815 <mask> journeyed around the islands of Eigg, Rùm, Skye and Raasay, together with the Hebridean Islands of Harris and Lewis. His trip continued up the west coast of Scotland, around the north coast, out to the Orkney Islands and down the east coast as far south as Dundee. He arrived in Dundee in October 1815. When setting out from London in May, he had not planned to cover so much of the coastline on one visit, but the weather in 1815 was exceptionally favourable, with good visibility and clear skies providing perfect conditions for an artist.This mammoth journey resulted in 139 aquatint prints being finally published, the last completed in 1821. In August 1821 <mask> once again journeyed north to St Andrews. During August and September he went around the coast as far as Southend, finding 28 subjects from which he produced prints. In the period July to

texts: September 1822, the journey as far as Torquay, along the popular south coast of England, resulted in a total of 52 published prints, and August and September 1823 brought Daniell back to Land's End, with a further 31 prints. The final prints of A Voyage Round Great Britain were published on 20 May 1825. A Voyage Round Great Britain was published by Longman in eight volumes over the period 1814 to 1825. The complete set of eight volumes was priced at £60.The final number of prints included was 308. Garvey's book follows Daniell around part of the voyage, the Hebridean islands of Eigg, Rum, Skye and Raasay, locating the viewpoints included in his aquatint prints. Over the period 1813 to 1825, in parallel with preparing the prints for the Voyage, <mask> was busy on other projects, which included paintings for the Academy Exhibitions. Many of the works exhibited were oil paintings of Scottish scenes. The artistic quality of the paintings and aquatints produced and published by Daniell for A Voyage Round Great Britain was considered to be very high. The atmospheric effects which he was able to convey in the aquatint medium were quite overwhelming. This was particularly true of his portrayal of ships and maritime scenery, as he had demonstrated in many earlier paintings and prints.In February 1822 after many years of endeavour, <mask> was finally elected an R.A. In the final ballot the voting was between John Constable and <mask>, the result being 11 to 17. <mask> produced a number of marine paintings. One, The Burning of the "Kent" is in the Museum of the Queen's Royal Surrey's, having been rediscovered after having disappeared for over a hundred years. It is an illustration of the dramatic loss of the East Indiaman , and the rescue of some 550 survivors of her 650 crew and passengers. His shipping scenes, such A Bird's-Eye View of the East India Dock at Blackwell (National Maritime Museum, London), were supplemented by greatly

In 1825, he won a prize of £100 for a pair of paintings depicting the Battle of Trafalgar, exhibited at the British Institution.<mask> turned to panorama painting before his death, beginning in 1832 with a painting of Madras, including a depiction of the Hindu mode of taming wild elephants. <mask>'s last great artistic work was produced between 1827 and 1830. Over this time he became interested in the scenery around Windsor. In 1827, 1828 and 1830, he exhibited a total of five oil paintings of Windsor Castle and its surroundings and two oil paintings of Virginia Water, at the Royal Academy Exhibitions. These were considered to be among his finest oil paintings, and according to Sutton, his view of the Long Walk at Windsor was generally acknowledged to be his masterpiece in oils. Daniell produced a set of 12 aquatints of the Windsor and Virginia water views. Sutton writes of this series:These twelve prints are the finest aquatints ever made, standing alone at the highest possible peak: aquatint could go no further, and although attempts have been made by others to excel them, none succeeded.The prints were made in <mask>'s usual way, engraved by himself from his own drawings, and published by himself at 14, Russell Place, Fitzroy Square. By this time he was a comparatively wealthy man, and one can imagine him lovingly and carefully tinting the plates, leisurely savouring their subtle beauties, unhampered by time or financial worry. We feel, in looking at these aquatints, that perhaps Daniell, with the philosophy of a much-travelled man, realised that in the cool greys and greens with which he "stained" his prints was the charm of his own land, more enduring than the exotic mystery of the Orient or the strange architecture of Hindistan. Daniell worked right up to his death, on 16 August 1837 at Brecknock Terrace, Camden Town (now 135 St Pancras Way). The house is marked by a commemorative plaque. He

 submitted five pictures to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in that year. The final twist in the story of A Voyage Round Great Britain, was the discovery, in 1962, of 306 of the original 308 Daniell copper plates, the location of which had not been known for more than 100 years.They are now the property of the Tate. It seems appropriate that of all the topographical books of the 19th century it should be copper plates for <mask>'s Voyage Round Great Britain that have survived – they are a monument to his industry and his unsurpassed skill in handling the remarkable delicacy of the aquatint process.

UFOs
Regarding the Roswell UFO incident, <mask> has joked that "My theory...is that the Roswell ship did not actually crash, that it only landed and took off again and continued to land at all these other sites." He maintains that the incident involved a crashed Project Mogul balloon and was not in any way related to extraterrestrial activity. <mask> also frequently discusses the Aztec, New Mexico, UFO incident hoax, and his explanation of the scam at the Aztec UFO Symposium ended his regular speaking appearance there. The Symposium's last meeting was in 2011.In 2009, <mask>

<mask> has applied his knowledge of mathematics and computer engineering to dispute the credibility of the Bible code He offers coincidental examples of secrets "coded" in other texts, such as apparent references to Hitler in War and Peace and the phrase "The code is a silly snake-oil hoax" in Michael Drosnin's The Bible Code. <mask> maintains that "Hidden messages can be found anywhere, provided you're willing to invest time and effort to harvest the vast field of probability." Matt Young's No Sense of Obligation, a skeptical examination of science and religion, references <mask>'s work. Climate change
In 2014, <mask> joined fellow scientist Kim Johnson on Albuquerque's 94 Rock morning show for a four-part conversation regarding climate change. They discussed the geographic patterns and implications of global warming as well as refuting the idea that human interference has a negligible effect on the crisis. That same year, <mask> joined more than 60 fellow skeptics clarifying the media's use of "skeptic" and "denier" when discussing those who undermine and reject climate science.The letter explains that "Proper skepticism promotes scientific inquiry, critical investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims. It is foundational to the scientific method. Denial, on the other hand, is the a priori rejection of ideas without objective consideration." The 9/11 Truth movement

<mask> has engaged in several public debates with advocates of the 9/11 Truth movement. After offering a live refutation to architect Richard Gage's 2009 New Mexico Tech alumni weekend presentation on the collapse of the twin towers, <mask> debated Gage and chemist Niels Harrit on the same subject live on Ian Punnett's nationally syndicated radio show Coast to Coast in 2010. In 2014, <mask> and Michael Fullerton took part in a similar debate conducted via YouTube. <mask> has written scientific refutations of other conspiracy theorists' claims surrounding the September 11 attacks.Chemtrails

 Skeptical Inquirer, in which he debunks frequently cited videos and photographs perpetuating the chemtrail conspiracy theory, by explaining that "Kennedy assassination and 9/11 conspiracy theorists are mere pikers compared to “chemtrail” buffs. You will rarely find a more virulently self-deluded group, anywhere." Creationist legislation and intelligent design
In February of 2011, the Education Committee of the New Mexico House of Representatives voted 5-4 to table House Bill 302, which sought to prevent public school teachers from being disciplined or removed from their positions for teaching "relevant scientific information regarding either the scientific strengths or scientific weaknesses pertaining to 'controversial' scientific topics". <mask> testified his concern that the bill "is really just a ploy to get creationism in the classroom." In The Panda's Thumb, he wrote "The proposed legislation is not needed by New Mexico's students or teachers. New Mexico's existing standards already protect students from religious indoctrination or harassment by their teachers. Furthermore, the bill is unconstitutional as written, and its passage and enactment will almost certainly result in expensive litigation."He alleged that the bill originated as part of the intelligent design movement and pro-intelligent design think tank groups. At CSICon 2011, <mask> presented "Something Rotten In Denmark: How Hamlet's 'Weasel' Reveals The Vacuousness Of Intelligent Design" where he discussed genetic algorithms as well as reviewing the status of the New Mexico bill. In 2004, <mask> offered the "opposing view" for the New Mexico division of the Intelligent Design Network's Darwin, Design and Democracy V symposium where he outlined why intelligent design is inappropriate for public school science curriculum.

He also practices the traditional art of engraving on copper, and lithograph on limestone . Watercolor
In the years 60 – 70, watercolor often remains preparatory work of the final oil. So he decides to assert the watercolor's technique as full totally abandoning painting in oil.The artist works in series ( girls, chairs, balloons...) Over the years and gallery exhibitions its willingness and

His watercolors are made on site during various trips, ( Italy, Greece, Spain, Brittany, Le Crotoy Baie of Somme, Provence...).

This is where the artist's worth lies : he is contributing back in favor an endearing technique which is too often thought as minor and which is so little – known. He shows us convincingly the various possibilities of plastic expressions that it offers artists of our time. <mask> can also prove that pastel is not only synonymous with soft colors. [...]

With his handwriting where the fathoms all secrets, he translates with surprising mastery, the thousand different shimmers of the rain, of clouds, of mist, or the water sparkling in grey daylight. Therefore, his style reminds us of Impressionists. At other times though, the nervous hatchings have replaced the juxtaposed dabs of paint and they take over the flat tint to render, in

<mask> (also McLaughlin; 1835–1882) was an influential newspaper editor of the British Cape Colony, in what is now South Africa. Early life and education

Born in Ireland, <mask> emigrated to the Cape Colony in 1861, as a sergeant in the 59th regiment, until he was discharged after suffering an injury that seriously damaged his sight. He moved to Cape Town and founded a school on Boom (modern Commercial) street, in a part of Cape Town that was a slum at the time. Being intensely reflective and literary however, he soon became known for his remarkable letters to the Cape's leading newspapers (always under the pen-name "Scotus"). He went on to edit three newspapers in his career. Throughout his career, his writings and his editing were distinguished by their liberal and inclusive ideology and their concern over the rights of the Cape's Black African citizens. While this made him very popular in the relatively liberal 1870s, it caused him a great deal of controversy as popular opinion became more reactionary and pro-imperialist in the early 1880s.The Cape Argus (1871-1879)
His free-lance writings came to the attention of the Cape Argus as early as 1861, and he soon became a printer's reader for that paper's parent company, Saul Solomon & Co., from where he rapidly rose in position. In 1871 he was appointed editor for the Cape Argus, taking over from Thomas Ekins Fuller. He continued to do a great deal of the writing, and his humble manner and direct style of writing made him hugely popular. He was also known for his unpretentious manner and his "genuine journalistic faculty of mingling freely with his fellow men". However, he was openly partisan on political issues. Whilst editor, he "was greatly in the confidence of the Premier of the time, Sir John Molteno, and vigorously supported him". Both he and the Argus therefore came to be seen as supporters of the Molteno government.<mask> also continued to espouse liberal views that, while relatively popular at the time, were still controversial and were to

 make him unpopular in later, more conservative, years. The "Pro Bono Publico" trial (1878/9)
A change came about in 1878 when the British Colonial Office overthrew the elected Cape government and a new bout of imperial expansion began in southern Africa, under the reactionary new government of Gordon Sprigg. Against the background of its frontier wars, the new regime began to move against its opponents. The Sprigg government targeted the Argus first, arranging that its government contracts were abruptly cancelled. <mask> was next, and the attack, when it came, focused on his private writings. McLoughlin had supposedly authored a pamphlet named "Pro Bono Publico" ("For Public Good"), privately and anonymously, during the 1878/9 Legislative Council elections. In addition to several other anonymous papers which criticised leading figures of the British and Settler establishment, these writings were held to constitute libel.Although it was never proven that McLoughlin did indeed author these papers, the "Pro Bono Publico" trial went badly, McLoughlin's continued position became untenable, and he was forced to resign. This was in spite of strong support from his liberal friends, and from Saul Solomon himself who, in a personal letter to <mask> (30 June 1879) admitted that he found the termination "especially painful because it is occasioned by your having been placed in a position which I feel that, as an innocent man, you ought not to occupy". The Cape Post (1879-1880)

With support from several powerful admirers (including John X. Merriman and the retired former Prime Minister John Molteno) he founded the Cape Post newspaper in 1879, and co-edited it with Francis Reginald Statham. One of the intended purposes of the Cape Post was to encourage a coming-together of the peoples and states of southern Africa in an organic and locally-driven process. This was in order to counter the influence of the British Colonial Office and the Confederation plan that it was attempting to impose on the subcontinent at

 the time. The "Fiat Justitia" trial (1879-1880)

The unusually liberal Cape Post was controversial, among other reasons, for highlighting cases of violence and discrimination against Black African people in the rural areas of the Cape. Chief among these, were the notorious "Koegas (or Kougas) murders", which led McLoughlin publicly to accuse the Attorney General Thomas Upington of racism.The Cape Post was joined in this campaign by Cape Town's other liberal newspaper at the time, Saul Solomon's Cape Argus, with its new editor Francis Dormer. Specifically, McLoughlin and Solomon accused the Attorney General and his colleagues in the Sprigg government of allowing white juries to acquit whites who had killed blacks. They called for the Attorney General's resignation and for an all-round condemnation of the verdict. The Sprigg government accused McLoughlin and Solomon of libel and responded with several lawsuits that culminated in what became known as the "Fiat Justitia" trial. In addition, a reactionary campaign arose in support of the Sprigg government's policies, led by publications such as the Lantern. In 1880 McLoughlin was therefore forced to close the Cape Post due to financial difficulties. Oudtshoorn and death
Later he moved to the small town of Oudtshoorn in the Karoo, where he edited and wrote for the Oudtshoorn Tribune for a year, in effective exile, until he shot himself on 30 June 1882.He was survived by his wife and several children. <mask> was an extremely diligent and skilled writer, but he was even more known for his thoughtful and empathetic nature. His undoing was his unwillingness or inability to compromise on his feelings and principles, at a time when dissidence was dangerous. Historian Alexander Wilmot summed up McLoughlin as "the very clever, but not, perhaps, sufficiently scrupulous man of letters". References

In 2005 there were 1541 religious in a total of 179 houses in nations such as Poland and in Israel. Canonization
The cause for <mask>'s beatification started on 1 June 1990 and was therefore titled as a Servant of God.The diocesan process opened in Vicenza and spanned from 9 October 1990 until being closed on 6 February 1992; the Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated the process in Rome on 23 April 1993 and received the Positio dossier from the postulation in 1999. The historians approved the direction of the cause on 22 February 2000 while theologians voiced their approval for the cause on 12 December 2000 as did the C.C.S. on 20 February 2001 On 24 April 2001 he was proclaimed Venerable after Pope John Paul II approved his life of "heroic virtue". The process for a miracle that led to his beatification spanned from 1985 until 1987 and received validation on 19 January 1996. A medical board approved this on 25 January 2001 as did theologians on 29 May 2001 and the C.C.S. members on 3 July 2001. The pope issued final confirmation for this miracle on 7 July 2001 and deemed it to be a healing attributed to <mask>'s intercession.John Paul II beatified <mask> in Saint Peter's Square on 4 November 2001.

title: Kuroda Seiki

texts:
Viscount  was a Japanese painter and teacher, noted for bringing Western art theory and practice to a wide Japanese audience. He was among the leaders of the yōga (or Western-style) movement in late 19th and early 20th-century Japanese painting, and has come to be remembered in Japan as "the father of Western-style painting." Biography

Early years
<mask> was born in Takamibaba, Satsuma Domain (present day Kagoshima Prefecture), as the son of a samurai of the Shimazu clan, <mask>e and his wife Yaeko. At birth, the boy was named Shintarō; this was changed to <mask> in 1877, when he was 11. In his personal life, he used the name <mask>ru, which uses an alternate pronunciation of the same Chinese characters. Even before his birth, Kuroda had been chosen by his paternal uncle, <mask>na, as heir; formally, he was adopted in 1871, after traveling to Tokyo with both his birth mother and adoptive mother to live at his uncle's estate. Kiyotsuna was also a Shimazu retainer, whose services to Emperor Meiji in the Bakumatsu period and at the Battle of Toba–Fushimi led to his appointment to high posts in the new imperial government; in 1887 he was named a viscount.Because of his position, the elder Kuroda was exposed to many of the modernizing trends and ideas coming into Japan during the early Meiji period; as his heir, young Kiyoteru also learned from them and took his lessons to heart. In his early teens, Kuroda began to learn the English language in preparation for his university studies; within two years, however, he had chosen to switch to French instead. At 17, he enrolled in pre-college courses in French, as preparation for his planned legal studies in college. Consequently, when in 1884 <mask>'s brother-in-law Hashiguchi Naouemon was appointed to the French Legation, it was decided that Kuroda would accompany him and his wife to Paris to begin his real

 studies of law. He arrived in Paris on March 18, 1884 and was to remain there for the next decade. Studies in France
Kuroda had received painting lessons in his youth, and had been given a watercolor set by his adoptive mother as a present upon leaving for Paris, but he had never considered painting as anything more than a hobby. However, in February 1886 Kuroda was attending a party at the Japanese legation for Japanese nationals in Paris; here, he met the painters Yamamoto Hōsui and Fuji Masazō, as well as art dealer Tadamasa Hayashi, a specialist in ukiyo-e. All three urged the young student to turn to painting, saying that he could better help his country by learning to paint like a Westerner rather than learning law.Kuroda agreed, and began formally studying art at an art studio while simultaneously continuing his studies in law in an effort to please his adoptive father. This situation proved untenable, however, and Kuroda finally succeeded in convincing his father to allow him to abandon his legal studies and study painting full time. In May 1886, Kuroda entered the studio of Raphaël Collin, a noted Academic painter who had shown work in several Paris Salons. Kuroda also received guidance from Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, who influenced Kuroda's later use of the human body to represent abstract concepts. In 1886, Kuroda met another young Japanese painter, Kume Keiichiro, newly arrived in France, who also joined Collin's studio. The two became friends, and soon became roommates as well. It was during these years that he began to mature as a painter, first following the traditional course of study in Academic studio art before eventually also encountering plein-air painting.In 1890 <mask> moved from Paris to the village of Grez-sur-Loing, an artists' colony about 70 kilometers south of Paris which had been formed by painters from the United States

 equipped to reach a broader public. An academic role, with its emphasis on structure and conformity, contrasted with the painter's focus on individuality, but Kuroda nonetheless approached his new role with zeal.In particular, Kuroda stressed the importance of painting outdoors directly from nature (plein air), and insisted that courses in anatomy and the sketching of a live nude model be included in the curriculum. Ultimately, Kuroda set as his goal the teaching of history painting, feeling that it was the most important genre for students to learn. In his opinion, paintings depicting myths, history, or themes such as love or courage, in which figures painted in poses and compositions reflecting these issues had the highest social value. Coinciding with this was the creation of one of his most ambitious works, the Talk on Ancient Romance. The painting was a large undertaking; it seems to have been among the first for which Kuroda employed charcoal drawings and oil sketches. He would go on to employ this technique in most of his later work, teaching it to his students as well. Talk on Ancient Romance appears to have been intended as a wall panel; as with much of Kuroda's work, it was destroyed during World War II, leaving only preparatory studies to indicate its possible grandeur.Later career

<mask> was by this time well-regarded not only by the Japanese, but by the art world at large; his triptych Wisdom, Impression, Sentiment (completed 1900) was exhibited alongside his 1897 work Lakeside at the Exposition Universelle held in 1900 in Paris; it received a silver medal. Lakeside, however, is arguably Kuroda's most famous and recognizable work in Japan. It depicts Kuroda's wife Teruko, seated by a lake in the famous resort town of Hakone. Lakeside represents the apotheosis of Kuroda's personal style, in which he dialed back the more controversial

 aspects of European Impressionism to combine it with aspects of Academicism and the Barbizon School, while emphasizing native Japanese subjects such as Japanese landscapes and clothing. The result was a hybrid style art historian Chinghsin Wu has termed "Academic Impressionism," which Kuroda thought was more palatable to Japanese tastes and sensibilities. In 1907, members of the White Horse Society, Kuroda among them, exhibited in the first Bunten exhibition, sponsored by the Ministry of Education; their continued participation led to the disbanding of the group in 1911. Meanwhile, Kuroda had been appointed a court painter at the Imperial Court in 1910, becoming the first yōga artist so honored.From then until the end of his life his artistic activities were curtailed; he became more of a politician and an administrator, only creating small works intended for display. In 1917, on the death of his father, Kuroda inherited the kazoku peerage title of viscount, and in 1920, was elected to a seat in the House of Peers, the upper house of the Diet of Japan. In 1922, Kuroda was made head of the Imperial Fine Arts Academy. In 1923, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion d'Honneur; this followed numerous other honors from the French government in the years before. <mask> died at home in Azabu Kōgai-chō on July 15, 1924; immediately upon his death the Japanese government conferred upon him the Order of the Rising Sun. Legacy
Few artists have influenced Japanese art as much as Kuroda. As a painter, he was among the first to introduce Western-style paintings to a broad Japanese audience.As a teacher, he taught many young artists the lessons that he himself had learned in Paris; among his students were painters like Wada Eisaku, who were to become among the preeminent Japanese painters of their generation. Many students also followed Kuroda in choosing to

Murray-Darling Basin

On 14 February 2018 Labor voted with the Greens to disallow a mechanism in the Murray Darling Basin Plan which would have prevented farmers in the Northern Basin giving up 70GL of water which otherwise would have been lost to seepage and evaporation. The disallowance motion triggered a crisis in basin states when New South Wales and Victoria pledged to abandon the Plan as a result. It was widely considered the withdrawal of the two largest states would see the Basin Plan dismantled after it had taken more than a century to strike the agreement. On 7 May 2018, in the lead up to a second disallowance motion that would have blocked 36 environmental water savings projects, Littleproud struck a deal with Labor that both secured the works in question and the 70GL recovery reduction for Northern Basin farmers which had previously been disallowed.This effectively resurrected the Murray-Darling Basin Plan by reassuring Basin states the Plan would be fulfilled as agreed in 2012.
