<mask> (born July 1, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. He grew up in Iowa City, Iowa before locating to California in 2005, where he began a long-standing working relationship with producer Mikal Blue and singer Colbie Caillat. He co-wrote many songs with Caillat, most notably the songs "Bubbly", "Realize" and "I Never Told You". "Bubbly" has been <mask> most successful work to date, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts, No. 5 on the Hot 100 and being certified Platinum (along with "Realize") by the RIAA. He has won awards from ASCAP.<mask> works as a solo artist and also as a co-writer with other artists, including Australian artist Lenka, with whom he wrote "The Show". He self-released four albums and an EP before he signed to major label Warner Bros. Records in 2008 with the help of Kara DioGuardi and released an album and an EP with the label. He again self-released an album in 2011 with The Lovesick. His work has led to being named one of the Top Indie Singer-Songwriters by iTunes in 2007 and a No. 1 Folk Artist by Myspace. From 2018 to 2020, he was a member of the band Gone West. Early life
<mask> was born in Arlington, Texas and relocated to Iowa City, Iowa when he was around 3 years old with his father, a worker at Maytag/Whirlpool, and his mother, a food stylist/ice skating teacher.When <mask> was five years old his mother started him on piano lessons, lessons that he continued for five years before quitting. After the piano, he began to take drum lessons for a few years, before eventually settling on the guitar at 17 and teaching himself how to play. Around this time he began listening to artists such as Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin and James Taylor, which he'd later cite as personal influences. Attending Iowa City High School, <mask> was involved with various choirs and vocal groups, even touring Europe with the Midwest Honor Choir in 2002. During this time he

 also performed in a band with friends and recorded his own full-length album with a local community music program. Music career

Early career in Iowa
<mask> began to get into musical recording at the end of high school, with his first CD being a self-produced album with a run of about 200 copies. After graduating high school, he went on to attend college at the nearby University of Iowa but quickly dropped out due to a lack of interest.He continued on with music, playing at local venues and bars. For the next two years he continued to play around Iowa City and self-released two albums with a local producer, Ken Heaton. These two albums, Makeshift Aircraft (2003) and Nervous Mind of Love (2004), were sold at his shows as well as on independent, online music seller cdbaby.com. Around late 2004/early 2005 he was contacted by California producer Mikal Blue who was interested in working together. Blue became aware of <mask> through his own manager, Anna Rambeau, who herself became aware of <mask> through cdbaby.com. Blue offered to have <mask> come out to his California studio, Revolver, to record some tracks together. <mask> accepted and flew out to Los Angeles, California, with the intention of recording and coming back to Iowa.Mikal Blue and Colbie Caillat

<mask> arrived in California around February 2005 and met with Blue to begin recording songs. Shortly after arriving, Blue introduced <mask> to a young female singer he was working with, Colbie Caillat. Caillat and <mask> formed a quick friendship and Caillat's family invited <mask> to stay with them during his recordings with Blue. This eventually became Reeve's home as he decided to stay in California and not return to Iowa. Caillat and <mask> began a working partnership, hanging out and co-writing many songs together and playing local venues. Caillat also introduced <mask> to the social networking site Myspace, using the site to release music they

 wrote. After the release of the Blue-produced EP Hearts Are Magnets in 2006, Caillat and <mask> kept composing and posting songs to Myspace.They wrote Chasing The Sun for Hilary Duff. Coco and The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache
Caillat was gaining traction and attention with her music on Myspace, leading her to be declared the No. 1 unsigned artist on the site. This attention and the popularity of the Myspace-hosted song "Bubbly" lead to a record deal for Caillat with Universal Republic Records. Using the material that Caillat had worked on with <mask>, Caillat released her debut album Coco in 2007. The Mikal Blue-produced album featured 10 song co-written with <mask>. The lead single from the album, the Reeve's co-write "Bubbly", was a commercial success, reaching up to the top 5 on the Billboard charts.The song "Realize", which featured vocals by <mask>, also performed well on the charts. <mask> and Caillat would eventually win three ASCAP awards for these two songs. <mask> continued to work on his own music as well, and in 2007 self-released the album The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (And Other Frightening Tales...), which was again produced by Mikal Blue, as well two tracks produced by Lenka producer Stuart Brawley. The album had modest success on iTunes, debuting at No. 2 on the folk charts and went to being named one of the top indie albums of the year on iTunes. He also had popularity as an artist on Myspace, being named the site's No. 1 unsigned folk artist for nine months.Kara DioGuardi and Warner Bros. Records

In 2007/2008, <mask> was playing many shows around Los Angeles and had residencies at places like the Hotel Café. Kara DioGuardi became aware of <mask> after the release of his album The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache and listened to the CD during a long car trip in Maine.

Pledgers get access to updates about the album as well as some of the songs to be released on the album. “There's a little bit of everything on it," <mask> said about the new record."It goes from really stripped-down acoustic to full band. There's a couple things on there that I’ve never tried before, but for the most part it's a return to the way I have been doing it all along – just the acoustic, organic feel." The first song from the album is called "Back With Me" and was released on March 27 along with a video on YouTube, which was directed by <mask>. The second promotional released song from Songs Are Silent Films is "You're My Best Friend" and was

texts:
<mask> (February 15, 1929 – March 27, 2014) was an American economist and public servant who was best known for serving as Secretary of Defense from 1973 to 1975 under Presidents <mask> and Gerald Ford. Prior to becoming Secretary of Defense, he served as Chair of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) from 1971 to 1973, and as CIA Director for a few months in 1973. He became America's first Secretary of Energy under Jimmy Carter in 1977, serving until 1979. While Secretary of Defense, he opposed amnesty for draft resisters and pressed for development of more sophisticated nuclear weapon systems. Additionally, his support for the A-10 and the lightweight fighter program (later the F-16) helped ensure that they were carried to completion. Early life and career
<mask> was born in New York City, the son of Jewish parents, <mask> (née <mask>) and <mask>. His mother was a Lithuanian emigrant from what was then part of the Russian Empire and his father's family was from Austria.He converted to Lutheranism in his early twenties. <mask> was educated at the Horace Mann School and Harvard University, where he earned a B.A. (1950), M.A. (1952), and Ph.D. (1956) in economics. Between 1955 and 1963 he taught economics at the University of Virginia and in 1960 published The Political Economy of National Security. In 1963, he moved to the RAND Corporation, where he worked until 1969, in the later years as director of strategic studies. Nixon Administration
In 1969, <mask> joined the Nixon administration as assistant director of the Bureau of the Budget, devoting most of his time to Defense matters.In 1971, President Nixon appointed <mask> a member of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and designated him as chairman. Serving in this position for about a year and a half, Schlesinger

 instituted extensive organizational and management changes in an effort to improve the AEC's regulatory performance. CIA Director
<mask> was CIA Director from February 2, 1973, to July 2, 1973,. being succeeded by William Colby. <mask> was extremely unpopular with CIA staff, as he reduced CIA staff by 7%, and was considered a Nixon loyalist seeking to make the agency more obedient to Nixon. He had a CCTV camera installed near his official portrait at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., as it was believed that vandalism of the portrait by disgruntled staff was likely. Secretary of Defense (1973–1975)
<mask> left the CIA to become Secretary of Defense on July 2, aged 44. As a university professor, researcher at Rand, and government official in three agencies, he had acquired an impressive resume in national security affairs.Nuclear strategy

Shortly after assuming office, <mask> outlined the basic objectives that would guide his administration: maintain a "strong defense establishment";  "assure the military balance so necessary to deterrence and a more enduring peace"; obtain for members of the military "the respect, dignity and support that are their due"; assume "an . . . obligation to use our citizens' resources wisely"; and "become increasingly competitive with potential adversaries.... [W]e must not be forced out of the market on land, at sea, or in the air. Eli Whitney belongs to us, not to our competitors." In particular, Schlesinger saw a need in the post-Vietnam era to restore the morale and prestige of the military services; modernize strategic doctrine and programs; step up research and development; and shore up a DoD budget that had been declining since 1968. Analyzing strategy, Schlesinger maintained that the theory and practice of the 1950s and 1960s

 single option of ordering the mass destruction of enemy civilians, in the face of the certainty that it would be followed by the mass slaughter of Americans?" With this approach, <mask> moved to a partial counterforce policy, emphasizing Soviet military targets such as ICBM missile installations, avoiding initial attacks on population centers, and minimizing unintended collateral damage. He explicitly disavowed any intention to acquire a destabilizing first-strike capability against the USSR.But he wanted "an offensive capability of such size and composition that all will perceive it as in overall balance with the strategic forces of any potential opponent." Schlesinger devoted much attention to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, citing the need to strengthen its conventional capabilities. He rejected the old assumption that NATO did not need a direct counter to Warsaw Pact conventional forces because it could rely on tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, noting that the approximate nuclear parity between the United States and the Soviets in the 1970s made this stand inappropriate. He rejected the argument that NATO could not afford a conventional counterweight to Warsaw Pact forces. In his discussions with NATO leaders, Schlesinger promoted the concept of burden-sharing, stressing the troubles that the United States faced in the mid-1970s because of an unfavorable balance of international payments. He urged qualitative improvements in NATO forces, including equipment standardization, and an increase in defense spending by NATO governments of up to five percent of their gross national product. Yom Kippur War and Cyprus crisis

Schlesinger had an abiding interest in strategic theory, but he also had to deal with a succession of immediate crises that tested his

texts: administrative and political skills.In October 1973, three months after he took office, Arab countries launched a surprise attack on Israel and started the Yom Kippur War. A few days after the war started, with Israel not faring as well as expected militarily, the Soviets resupplying some Arab countries and the Israeli government having authorized the use and assembly of nuclear weapons, the United States began an overt operation to airlift materiel to Israel. As <mask> explained, the initial U.S. policy to avoid direct involvement rested on the assumption that Israel would win quickly. But when it became clear that the Israelis faced more formidable military forces than anticipated, and could not meet their own resupply arrangements, the United States took up the burden. According to Henry Kissinger, with the president's authority, the directive was made to resupply Israel with the needed equipment and eliminate State Department delay. "It was alleged that the airlift was deliberately delayed as a maneuver to pressure Israel." <mask> rejected charges that the Defense Department delayed the resupply effort to avoid irritating the Arab states and that he had had a serious disagreement over this matter with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.Eventually the combatants agreed to a cease-fire, but not before the Soviet Union threatened to intervene on the Arab side and the United States declared a higher level worldwide alert of its forces. Another crisis flared in July 1974 within the NATO alliance when Turkish forces, concerned about the long-term lack of safety for the minority Turkish community, invaded Cyprus after the Cypriot National Guard, supported by the government of Greece, overthrew President Archbishop Makarios. When the fighting stopped, the Turks held the

 northern portion of country and about 40 percent of the island. Turkey's military action caused controversy in the United States, because of protests and lobbying by supporters of the Greek Cypriot side and, officially, because Turkish forces used some U.S.-supplied military equipment intended solely for NATO purposes. He felt the Turks had overstepped the bounds of legitimate NATO interests in Cyprus and suggested that the United States might have to reexamine its military aid program to Turkey. During this time, President Gerald R. Ford had succeeded Nixon after his resignation; eventually Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger made it clear with two presidential vetoes that they favored continued military assistance to Turkey as a valued NATO ally, but Congress overrode both vetoes and in December 1974 prohibited such aid, which instituted an arms embargo that lasted five years. Indochina

The last phase of the Vietnam War occurred during <mask>'s tenure.Although all U.S. combat forces had left South Vietnam in the spring of 1973, the United States continued to maintain a military presence in other areas of Southeast Asia. Some senators criticized Schlesinger and questioned him sharply during his confirmation hearings in June 1973 after he stated that he would recommend resumption of U.S. bombing in North Vietnam and Laos if North Vietnam launched a major offensive against South Vietnam. However, when the North Vietnamese began their 1975 Spring Offensive, the United States could do little to help the South Vietnamese, who collapsed completely as the North Vietnamese captured Saigon in late April. Schlesinger announced early in the morning of 29 April 1975 the evacuation from Saigon by helicopter of the last U.S. diplomatic, military and civilian personnel.

 weapon advances, <mask> became a vigorous advocate of larger DoD budgets.But he had little success. For FY 1975, Congress provided TOA of $86.1 billion, compared with $81.6 billion in FY 1974; for FY 1976, the amount was $95.6 billion, an increase of 3.4 percent, but in real terms slightly less than it had been in FY 1955. Dismissal as Secretary of Defense

<mask>'s insistence on higher defense budgets, his disagreements within the administration and with Congress on this issue, and his differences with Secretary of State Kissinger all contributed to his dismissal from office by President Ford in November 1975. <mask>'s legacy included the development of the close-air support aircraft the A-10 and the lightweight F-16 fighter. Kissinger strongly supported the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks process, while Schlesinger wanted assurances that arms control agreements would not put the United States in a strategic position inferior to the Soviet Union. The secretary's harsh criticism of some congressional leaders dismayed President Ford, who was more willing than Schlesinger to compromise on the Defense budget. On 2 November 1975, the president dismissed <mask> and made other important personnel changes.Kissinger lost his position as special assistant to the President for national security affairs but remained as secretary of state. <mask> left office on 19 November 1975, explaining his departure in terms of his budgetary differences with the White House. The unreported, but important, main reason behind <mask>'s dismissal, though, was his insubordination toward President Ford. During the Mayaguez incident, Ford ordered several retaliatory strikes against Cambodia. <mask> told Ford the first strike was carried out, but Ford later learned that <mask>, who disagreed with the

 order, had none of them carried out. According to Bob Woodward's 1999 book, Shadow, Ford let the incident go, but when Schlesinger committed further insubordination on other matters, Ford finally fired him. Woodward observes, "The United States had just lost a war for the first time. . . . That the president and the secretary of defense could not agree on who was in charge was appalling.. . . [This] unpublicized breakdown in the military chain of command was ... perhaps the most significant scandal of the Ford presidency."<mask> had also disobeyed Ford when told to send as many military aircraft as possible to evacuate South Vietnam. <mask> disagreed with doing so and didn't send the aircraft. Woodward says that an elected president, which Ford was not, would never have tolerated the insubordination. In spite of the controversy surrounding both his tenure and dismissal, <mask> was by most accounts an able secretary of defense. A serious and perceptive thinker on nuclear strategy, he was determined that the United States not fall seriously behind the Soviet Union in conventional and nuclear forces and devoted himself to modernization of defense policies and programs. He got along well with the military leadership because he proposed to give them more resources, consulted with them regularly, and shared many of their views. Because he was a forthright speaker who could be blunt in his opinions and did not enjoy the personal rapport with legislators that prior Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird had, his relations with Congress were often strained.A majority of its members may have approved <mask>'s strategic plans, but they kept a tight rein on the money for his programs. Secretary of Energy (1977-1979)

After leaving the Pentagon, Schlesinger wrote and spoke forcefully

 about national security issues, especially the Soviet threat and the need for the United States to maintain adequate defenses. When Jimmy Carter became president in January 1977 he appointed <mask>, a Republican, as his special adviser on energy and subsequently as the first Secretary of Energy in October 1977. According to one account, "Schlesinger impressed candidate Jimmy Carter with his brains, his high-level experience... and with secrets regarding the defense spending vacillations of his old boss, Ford, just in time for the presidential debates." As Energy Secretary, <mask> launched the Department's Carbon Dioxide Effects and Assessment Program shortly after the creation of that department in 1977. Secretary <mask> also oversaw the integration of the energy powers of more than 50 agencies, such as the Federal Energy Administration and the Federal Power Commission. In July 1979, Carter replaced him as part of a broader Cabinet shakeup.According to journalist Paul Glastris, "Carter fired Schlesinger in 1979 in part for the same reason Gerald Ford had—he was unbearably arrogant and impatient with lesser minds who disagreed with him, and hence inept at dealing with Congress." Post-government activities

After leaving the Energy Department, Schlesinger resumed his writing and speaking career, including the 1994 lecture at the Waldo Family Lecture on International Relations at Old Dominion University. He was employed as a senior adviser to Lehman Brothers, Kuhn, Loeb Inc., of New York City. He advised Congressman and presidential candidate <mask> in 1988. In 1995, he was the Chairman of the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA).

On February 8, 2002, he appeared at a hearing before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in support of the creation of a commission to investigate the 9/11 attacks.On June 11, 2002, he was appointed by U.S. President George W. Bush to the Homeland Security Advisory Council. He also served as a consultant to the United States Department of Defense, and was a member of the Defense Policy Board. In 2004, he served as chairman to the Independent Panel to Review DoD Detention Operations. On January 5, 2006, he participated in a meeting at the White House of former Secretaries of Defense and State to discuss United States foreign policy with Bush administration officials. On January 31, 2006, he was appointed by the Secretary of State to be a member of the Arms Control and Nonproliferation Advisory Board. On May 2, 2006, he was named to be a co-chairman of a Defense Science Board study on DOD Energy Strategy. He was an honorary chairman of The OSS Society.He was also a Bilderberg Group attendee in 2008. In 2007, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin appointed Schlesinger to be the Chairman of the National Space-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Advisory Board. The "PNT Board" is composed of recognized Global Positioning System (GPS) experts from outside the U.S. government that advise the Deputy Secretary level PNT Executive Committee in their oversight management of the GPS constellation and its governmental augmentations. On June 5, 2008, Defense Secretary <mask> appointed Schlesinger to head a task force to ensure the "highest levels" of control over nuclear weapons.

He was also on the advisory board of GeoSynFuels, LLC.Schlesinger penned a number of opinion pieces on global warming, expressing a strongly skeptical position. Peak oil
Schlesinger raised awareness of the peak oil issue and supports facing it. In the keynote speech at a 2007 conference hosted by the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas in Cork, Schlesinger said that oil industry executives now privately concede that the world faces an imminent oil production peak. In his 2010 ASPO-USA keynote speech, Schlesinger observed that the Peak Oil debate was over. He warned of political inaction as a major hindrance, like those in Pompeii before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. On June 5, 2008, U.S. Secretary of Defense <mask> announced that he had asked Schlesinger to lead a senior-level task force to recommend improvements in the stewardship and operation of nuclear weapons, delivery vehicles and sensitive components by the US DoD following the 2007 United States Air Force nuclear weapons incident. Members of the task force came from the Defense Policy Board and the Defense Science Board.Personal life
In 1954, Schlesinger married <mask> Mellinger (February 27, 1930 – October 11, 1995); they had eight children: Cora (1955), Charles (1956), Ann (1958), William (1959), Emily (1961), Thomas (1964), Clara (1966) and <mask> (1970). Though raised in a Jewish household, Schlesinger converted to

<mask> (6 June 1780 – 8 May 1844) was a minister of the Quaker meeting at Hardshaw East, Manchester. He wrote A Beacon to the Society of Friends, a work published in 1835 which had a schismatic effect on English Quakerism. Early life
<mask> was born into a Quaker family in Kendal in the English Lake District. He entered the cotton trade and became a successful mill owner in Manchester. He was appointed as a Quaker minister in 1816. The Beaconite Controversy
In 1831, controversy arose amongst Manchester Quakers over the spiritual emphasis of Quakerism, and these differences culminated in 1835 when <mask>'s A Beacon to the Society of Friends was published. His book highlighted the distinction many Manchester Quakers drew between the guidance of Scripture and the central feature of Quakerism, the Inner Light, the direct and personal experience of God.<mask> and his followers believed that too much emphasis was placed by Quakers on the Inner Light, at the expense of Biblical authority. In his book <mask> criticized the American Quaker, Elias Hicks (1748–1830), who considered "obedience to the light within" to be the most important principle of worship and who regarded the Bible as a "dead letter" unless read "under the regulating influence of the spirit of God". Hicks had been responsible for the first schism in Quakerism in 1827. Initially, Hardshaw East Monthly Meeting was thrown into disorder by the controversy. The matter was discussed at the 1835 London Yearly Meeting and a Visiting Committee was appointed to investigate and seek the reconciliation of members there. The

Even so, the correspondence that took place between <mask> and the Committee in 1835 was published by them without his knowledge and consent in A Few Particulars of the Correspondence Between the Committee Appointed by the Friends' Yearly Meeting, and <mask>.Eventually, the Committee brought matters to a head by asking <mask> to withdraw his book from circulation, but he refused to do so. He was then suspended from his ministry to prevent further internal strife. In 1836 the situation was again discussed at the London Yearly Meeting. There Gurney spoke, upholding the supremacy of Scripture, but he also stressed the "true soundness of Friends' views in regard to silent meetings". He also declared that if Friends were to "give way in our meetings for worship to any ministry except that which flows immediately from the Lord's anointing we should suffer loss." Gurney also indicated that "to place the impressions received from our own minds" was a prelude to a Quaker form of Deism. Gurney declared himself to be a "middle man" between the two opposing views and the London Yearly Meeting did not resolve the issue.The discord was effectively determined when <mask> tendered his resignation from the Hardshaw East Monthly Meeting, this being accepted on 15 December 1836, along with those of 38 of his supporters. However, the great majority of the Manchester membership chose to remain. In 1836 and the following year, some 50

 Quakers left Manchester Meeting and another 300 left other meetings throughout the country, including those in Bristol, Birmingham, Tottenham and Plymouth. After Manchester, the largest group leaving were from Kendal. <mask>'s daughter Margaret (1808-1864) had married a fellow-Quaker, Henry Waterhouse, in 1832, and they, like her father, resigned from Hardshaw East Monthly Meeting in 1836. The Beaconite split also divided some Quaker families on partisan lines, as with the Braithwaites and the Lloyd banking family, and ended commercial relations, as with the Benson and Cropper partnership. The Evangelical Friends
Together with his brother-in-law, the former Hardshaw East Quaker elder William Boulton, <mask> founded the short-lived "Evangelical Friends", who were termed "Beaconites" by Quakers.They first met for Sunday worship on 18 September 1836 at an infant school in Manchester, before opening their 600-seat chapel at Chorlton-on-Medlock on Sunday 17 December 1837. They incorporated into their worship baptism and taking the Lord's Supper, which had been rejected by Quakers as rituals that obstructed the relationship between the worshipper and God. The Evangelical Friends held a Yearly Meeting in the style of a Quaker Yearly Meeting in London in 1837 and for a short while published a monthly journal, The Inquirer. An active abolitionist, <mask> attended the June 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. <mask> died at Bowness on 8 May 1844 and was buried at Rusholme Road Cemetery, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester. The Evangelical Friends did not flourish and gradually

 dispersed in the decade after <mask>'s death. Many joined the Plymouth Brethren and brought Quaker simplicity of worship to that movement.Notable Quakers who moved to the Brethren included John Eliot Howard and Robert Mackenzie Beverley. The Beaconite chapel, which was sparsely attended, languished and was sold to the Baptists in 1844, the year of <mask>'s death. In 1870, the last surviving member of the 1835 Visiting Committee, Doctor Edward Ash, wrote that the committee had been mistaken in suspending <mask>'s membership. It has been suggested that A Beacon to the Society of Friends was twenty years ahead of its time and that by the 20th century some Quaker evangelicals had reached a position close to that of <mask> in the 1830s.

<mask> (; 23 May 179410 March 1870) was a Bohemian piano virtuoso and composer. He was based initially in London and later at Leipzig, where he joined his friend and sometime pupil Felix Mendelssohn as professor of piano at the Conservatory. Life

Early life and career
<mask> was born 1794 in Prague, Bohemia, the son of Klara Popper (Lieben) and <mask>. He was from an affluent German-speaking Jewish merchant family. His first name was originally Isaac. His father played the guitar and was keen for one of his children to become a musician. Initially his hopes fixed on <mask>'s sister, but when she demurred, her piano lessons were transferred to her brother.<mask> developed an early passion for the (then revolutionary) piano music of Beethoven, which the Mozartean Bedřich Diviš Weber, his teacher at the Prague Conservatory, attempted to curb, urging him to focus on Bach, Mozart and Muzio Clementi. After his father's early death, <mask> settled in Vienna in 1808. His abilities were such that he was able to study in the city under Albrechtsberger for counterpoint and theory and Salieri for composition. At this time he changed his first name from "Isaac" to "<mask>". He was one of the leading virtuosi resident in Vienna during the 1814–1815 Congress of Vienna and it was at this time that he wrote his enormously popular virtuosic Alexander Variations, Op. 32 for piano and orchestra, which he later played throughout Europe. Here, too, he became a close friend of Meyerbeer (at that time still a piano virtuoso, not yet a composer) and their extemporized piano-duets were highly acclaimed.<mask> was also familiar

 with Hummel and Kalkbrenner. Among the virtuosi of the 1820s, Hummel, Kalkbrenner, Cramer, Herz and Weber were his most famous rivals. While in Vienna, <mask> was able to meet his idol Beethoven, who was so impressed with the young man's abilities that he entrusted him with the preparation of the piano score of his opera Fidelio, commissioned by his publisher Artaria. At the end of his manuscript, before presenting it to Beethoven, <mask> wrote the words Fine mit gottes Hülfe ("Finished with God's help"). Beethoven approved <mask>'s version, but appended the words O Mensch, hilf dir selber ("O Man, help thyself!"). <mask>'s good relations with Beethoven were to prove important to both at the end of Beethoven's life. Faith and family

<mask> was still a practising Jew in Vienna in 1814–15.His wife noted that he was a member of the congregation in Vienna, and that he wrote for the Vienna Jewish community an oratorio celebrating the peace. Throughout his life, like many other musicians of Jewish origin, he remained close to other musicians of similar descent such as Felix Mendelssohn, Anton Rubinstein, Joseph Joachim and Ferdinand Hiller. He also remained in contact with patrons of Jewish origin such as the Eskeles family in Vienna, the Leo family in Paris, and the Rothschilds in England. He married Charlotte Emden, daughter of a Hamburg Jewish banker and a cousin of Heinrich Heine, in a Hamburg synagogue in 1825. Nonetheless, after he settled in England, <mask> became a member of the Church of England. His children, two sons and three daughters, were all baptised at birth and he and his wife were

 baptised in 1832. They were parents to the painters Felix (1833–1917), their second son, and Serena Anna <mask> (1830–1902), their second daughter and wife of Georg Rosen.Rosen was an orientalist like his brother of Friedrich August Rosen, another friend of Mendelssohn, like <mask>. His granddaughter Jelka Rosen, also a painter, married the composer Frederick Delius. Another granddaughter, Marie-Thérèse, married Henry Fielding Dickens, the son of author Charles Dickens. Moscheles travelled extensively in Europe as a pianist and conductor, eventually settling in London (1825–1846) where he became co-director of the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1832. He never disavowed his Jewish origins and frequently took his family to visit his relatives in Prague, all of whom had retained their Jewish allegiances. Through his Dickens descendants, he is a great-grandfather of Admiral Gerald Charles Dickens and a great-great-great-great-grandfather of actor Harry Lloyd. Mendelssohn and the London period
After his Viennese period there followed for Moscheles a sensational series of European concert tours – it was after hearing Moscheles play at Carlsbad that the boy Robert Schumann was fired to become a piano virtuoso himself.But <mask> found an especially warm welcome in London, where in 1822 he was awarded an honorary membership of the London Academy of Music (later to become the Royal Academy of Music). At the end of the year he wrote in his diary, "I feel more and more at home in England", and he had no hesitation in settling there after his marriage. <mask> visited most of the great capitals of Europe, making his

In March 1823, <mask> paid a long visit to Bath in Somerset and started work on his Piano Concerto No. 4 (Op. 64).On an excursion to Bristol, Coleridge says that, "Moscheles delights in the view of the Bristol Channel and adds, "What can be finer than the first view of the Welsh mountains from Clifton? an enchanting panorama? The very place to write an adagio; the blue mountains form such a grand background to this bright channel." The piano concerto had its first performance, in London, shortly afterwards, on 16 June. Before that, however, in 1824, he had accepted an invitation to visit Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Berlin to give some lessons to his children Felix and Fanny. His comments on meeting them were: "This is a family the like of which I have never known. Felix, a boy of fifteen is a phenomenon.What are all prodigies compared with him? ... He is already a mature artist. His elder sister Fanny is also extraordinarily gifted." Shortly afterwards he wrote: "This afternoon ... I gave Felix Mendelssohn his first lesson, without losing sight for a moment of the fact that I was sitting next to a master, not a pupil." Thus began a relationship of extraordinary intensity which lasted throughout and beyond Mendelssohn's life (he died in 1847).Moscheles was instrumental in bringing Felix to London for the first time in 1829 – Abraham entrusted Felix to his care for this visit. Moscheles had carefully prepared for it. In London, apart from

texts: becoming a regular and successful performer, as well as a musical adviser for the soirées of the Rothschilds, he had become an invaluable aid for Sir George Smart and the Philharmonic Society, advising them of the talents of European musicians he encountered on his own concert-tours. When Smart himself toured Europe in 1825 looking for new music and musicians for the Society, Moscheles furnished Smart with a list of contacts and letters of introduction, including both Beethoven and Mendelssohn. In Prague, <mask>'s brother acted as Smart's guide. Smart visited the Mendelssohns in Berlin and was impressed with both Felix and Fanny. This eventually led to Mendelssohn's invitation to conduct at the Society on his 1829 visit.In 1827, <mask> acted as intermediary between the Philharmonic Society and the dying Beethoven. He helped persuade the Society to send Beethoven desperately needed funds during the composer's illness. In return, Beethoven offered to write for the Society his (uncompleted) Tenth Symphony. Mendelssohn's great success in England from 1829 until the end of his life also reflected well on his friend. Although <mask>'s music was now being looked on as a little old-fashioned, he was heavily in demand as a music teacher and included amongst his pupils many children of the rich and aristocratic classes. He was also appointed "Pianist to Prince Albert", a sinecure, which nevertheless confirmed his status. Child prodigy pianist Elizabeth Jonas, a student of Moscheles, played several command performances at Windsor Castle.<mask> never ceased to promote the music of Beethoven and gave many recitals

 of his music: in 1832 he conducted the London premiere of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, and he translated A.F. Schindler's biography of Beethoven into English. He was an early exponent of the piano recital – the concert of music for piano alone, the innovation of which is disputed between Liszt and <mask>. <mask> notably reintroduced the harpsichord as a solo recital instrument. He also often performed in concert with Mendelssohn in London (and elsewhere) – one great favourite of both musicians were Bach's concerti for multiple keyboard instruments. On these occasions Mendelssohn and <mask> were renowned for vying with each other in impromptu cadenzas. Performances of the three-harpsichord concerto were given, on one occasion with Thalberg at the third keyboard, on another with Clara Schumann.<mask> often appeared as a conductor, especially of Beethoven. The Leipzig years

Although throughout this period <mask> continued to write music and travel on concert tours, he depended heavily on teaching for income, and this placed him under considerable stress. When therefore Mendelssohn established a Conservatory at Leipzig in 1843 he was keen to attract his friend <mask> there as a colleague, promising him ample time in his schedules for concertising and music-making. After several years, <mask> gladly accepted the position in 1846. He became a longstanding and prominent member of the Conservatory faculty, teaching piano there for several decades. The Conservatory became in effect a shrine to Mendelssohn's musical legacy. The critic and pianist Edward Dannreuther, who studied under <mask> at Leipzig between

 1859 and 1863, later wrote:

[...] it was whispered that the two old Grands in the pianoforte-room of the Conservatorium were wont to rehearse Mendelssohn's D minor Concerto all alone by themselves, from 12.30 on Sunday night until cock-crow!Force of habit, probably. It thus fell to <mask> to lead the counter-attack on Wagner after the latter's snide attack on Mendelssohn (and Meyerbeer) in his notorious article Das Judenthum in der Musik ("Jewry in Music"), which he did by requesting the resignation from the Conservatory's board of Wagner's editor, Brendel. Like Mendelssohn, <mask> believed that music had reached its Golden Age during the period Bach to Beethoven, and was suspicious of (although not necessarily antagonistic towards) new directions such as those shown by Wagner, Liszt and Berlioz. Nevertheless, his personal relations with all of these (except perhaps Wagner) remained cordial. The Mendelssohn legacy in Britain meant that the Leipzig Conservatory had a high reputation amongst English musicians and amongst those who studied there during <mask>'s time were Arthur Sullivan and Charles Villiers Stanford. <mask> died in Leipzig on 10 March 1870, nine days after attending his last rehearsal with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Music

Among his 142 opus numbers, <mask> wrote a number of symphonic works.Apart from an overture, a ballet and a symphony, all are scored for piano and orchestra: eight piano concertos (of which the last is in fragmentary form only, no orchestral parts having survived) and sets of variations and fantasias on folk songs. The main theme of the finale of his fourth

 piano concerto is based on the tune "The British Grenadiers". <mask> also left several chamber works (including a piano trio that has been recorded), and a large number of works for piano solo, including sonatas and the études that continued to be studied by advanced students even as <mask>'s music fell into eclipse. There are also some song settings. More recently, with the modest but noticeable revival of interest in compositions by this composer and those of his colleagues, more of <mask>'s works are being made accessible on compact disc, especially by small and independent record labels. All the completed piano concerti and fantasias for piano and orchestra are available on the Hyperion Records label, played by Howard Shelley, who also conducted the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra; they have also issued the complete piano studies, played by Piers Lane. Ian Hobson has also recorded the first six and included a pair of variations not recorded by Shelley.Sources
Much of what is known about <mask>'s life is derived from the biography, with selections from his diaries and correspondence, written after his death by his wife, Charlotte, and published in Germany in 1872; an English edition appeared the following year. The book also gives lively portraits of his era and of his musical contemporaries. The diaries themselves are lost. Another important source is the correspondence between <mask> and Mendelssohn, preserved at the Brotherton Collection at the University of Leeds, and published in 1888 by <mask>'s son (and Felix Mendelssohn's god-son), <mask>.

<mask> (1693 – 29 June 1764) was an entrepreneur and philanthropist, who was notable for his reforms to the British postal system. <mask> was born in Cornwall but moved to Bath to work in the post office, becoming the postmaster at the age of 19. He made the system more efficient and took over contracts for the mail system to cover England to the borders of Scotland and into South Wales. He bought local stone mines from his postal profits and had Prior Park built as his house to show off the versatility of the local Bath stone, using the old post office as his town house. With the architect John Wood the Elder, the stone he mined was used in the building work for the development of the Georgian city. However, the mines did not consistently make a profit and <mask> subsidised them from his postal profits. After his death, he was buried in a pyramid-topped tomb in Claverton churchyard.He is commemorated in the names of streets and schools in the city of Bath and was the model for Squire Allworthy in the novel Tom Jones by Henry Fielding. Early life

Much is unknown or obscure regarding <mask>'s early life. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography gives his father as <mask>, reputed to be an innkeeper. As a teenager, <mask> worked at the Post Office at St Columb, run by his grandmother. He moved in 1710 to Bath, where he became a post office clerk, and at the age of 19, in 1712, became the Postmaster of Bath. In 1742 he was elected Mayor of Bath. Involvement in the postal system
At the age of 27 <mask> took control of the Cross and Bye Posts in the South West under a seven-year contract with the General Post Office, although he had no official title.At the end of this period he had not made a profit, only breaking even. But he had the courage to continue – with breathtaking success. Over the next few years, he reformed the postal service. He realised that post boys were delivering items of mail along their route without them being declared and that this was lost profit. He introduced a "signed for system" that

 prevented the malpractice. He also improved efficiency by not requiring mail to go via London. <mask>'s reputation grew and he took over more and more of the English postal system, signing contracts every seven years until he died aged 71.It is estimated that he saved the Post Office £1,500,000 over a 40-year period. He won the patronage of General Wade in 1715, when he disclosed details of a Jacobite uprising in Cornwall. Quarrying of Bath stone
With the arrival of John Wood in Bath, <mask> used the wealth gained from his postal reforms to acquire the stone quarries at Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines. Hitherto, the quarry masons had always hewn stone roughly providing blocks of varying size. The resulting uneven surface is known as "rubble" and buildings of this type – built during the Stuart period – are visible throughout the older parts of Bath. The distinctive honey-coloured Bath stone, used to build the Georgian city, made <mask> a second fortune. The building in Lilliput Alley, Bath (now North Parade Passage), which he used as a post office, became his Town House and in 1727 he refronted the southern rubble wall, extended the house to the north and added a new storey.John Wood the Elder refers to this in his "Essay towards the future of Bath". <mask> was astute at marketing the qualities of Bath stone and erected an elaborately ornate building a few feet to the north of his house to demonstrate its qualities. The extension (as Wood refers to it) has become known as "<mask>'s Town House", though whether it was designed by Wood is unproven and many local historians consider it unlikely. <mask> continued to live there until 1745, when he moved to Prior Park, and the townhouse became his offices. <mask> had the Palladian mansion of Prior Park built (1742) on a hill overlooking the city, "To see all Bath, and for all Bath to see". He gave money and the stone for the building of the Mineral Water Hospital in central Bath 1738. In 1758 he bought Claverton Manor, just east of Bath.<mask> had a summer home

<mask> is buried in a pyramid-topped tomb in Claverton churchyard, on the outskirts of Bath. A marble bust stood in the Mineral Water Hospital (later the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases) and was moved to the hospital's new building at Combe Park in 2019. His name is commemorated in <mask> Drive which runs past his former home at Prior Park. Now a busy road from Combe Down village to Bath city centre, this was the route by which the stone from his quarries at Combe Down was sent on wooden sledges down to the River Avon.Prior Park College, a private school for 11- to 18-year-olds, is housed in <mask>'s former home and incorporates a boys' boarding house named Allen House. The Prior Park Landscape Garden and Palladian bridge are cared for by the National Trust, who brought the garden back from dereliction in 1993. He is also remembered in Ralph Allen School, one of the city's state secondary schools. The Ralph Allen CornerStone in Combe Down village opened in the autumn of 2013. This houses the archives of the Combe Down Heritage Society and provides a community hub and information centre as part of the legacy of the project to infill the stone mines underneath the village.

 <mask> joined the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. She was an analyst and later principal administrator in the OECD Environment Directorate's program of environmental performance reviews of member and non-member countries, leading multinational teams of experts in evaluating how countries measured up to their own environmental commitments as defined in domestic legislation and international agreements. Air Liquide
In 2007 <mask> was named vice president of research and development for Air Liquide, where she was responsible for setting strategic direction and leading Air Liquide's R&D activities worldwide. Overseeing the Air Liquide group's eight main R&D centers in Europe, North America and Asia, she administered an innovation budget of over €230 million a year in areas including energy efficiency and industrial process optimization; renewable energy forms such as solar photovoltaics technology, biofuel and hydrogen fuel; and carbon capture and storage. Areva
At Areva, as a member of the Executive Operations Committee since early 2011, <mask> manages the group's R&D activities (including a €350 million annual budget and ten technical centers in France, Germany and the United States), its intellectual property portfolio, and technological communications and expertise.Areva's R&D areas range from uranium mining and chemical conversion to advanced nuclear reactors and the recycling of spent nuclear fuel. Under <mask>, the R&D portfolio has increased its emphasis on development of alternative energy technologies, including offshore wind power (5 MW turbines), concentrated solar power (Fresnel reflectors) and low-temperature electrolysis coupled with hydrogen fuel cells (Areva's "Green Energy Box").

The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France's premier public research agency. The Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA). The Agence nationale de la recherche, which awards funding to public and private scientific research projects.Other activities
A frequent public speaker in France, Germany and the United States, <mask> contributes in several countries to work on strategy to improve public-private cooperation for R&D and to strengthen education in the sciences and engineering. She is active in international women's networks and, in a country where a 2010 survey of major companies showed that women made up only 37% of the workforce and no women were CEOs, is one of relatively few women executives (and only a handful of Americans) at her level. In 2011, <mask> joined the advisory board of the European Professional Women's Network. Awards and honors
In 2010, largely because of changes made by <mask> to Air Liquide's global R&D operations, the global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney and the French economic newspaper Les Échos presented Air Liquide with their Best Innovator award, which recognizes companies that integrate strategy, organization, culture and performance into their innovation process. The jury cited the alignment of the Air Liquide innovation strategy with the overall strategy of the group, as well as its structured innovation process, which is shared and open to its partners. In 2011, <mask> was nominated as Woman of the Year in the Green Business category by the French financial newspaper La Tribune. <mask> was made a chevalier in the National Order of Merit (France) in May 2012.Personal life

 McAdoo said, "When I left, a lot of people were very angry and upset. But Dean gave me his blessing. He told me, ‘If they’re going to offer you this kind of money, I think you should leave to help you and your family.’ I had his blessing.

Professional career

1972 ABA and NBA drafts
McAdoo sought and won early eligibility in the 1972 NBA draft. However, it was rumored that McAdoo had signed with the Virginia Squires of the rival American Basketball Association after a "secret" ABA draft in which names of those drafted were not made public.Even though no contract was produced and <mask> denied, reportedly, NBA Commissioner Walter Kennedy advised NBA teams not to draft McAdoo. Other reports were that a contract was signed and voided, because <mask> was too young to have signed it and that Buffalo somehow knew this. Later, <mask> was indeed noted as the No. 1 pick of the 1972 American Basketball Association Draft. Buffalo Braves (1972–1976)

Buffalo acted anyway, and <mask> was selected with the No. 2 overall pick by the Buffalo Braves (now the Los Angeles Clippers), after rumors that contract talks between the Portland Trail Blazers and <mask> didn't come to fruition with the first pick. LaRue Martin was selected by Portland.<mask> signed with the Braves and quickly became one of the NBA's premier players. He won the 1973 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and

After the season, the Lakers did not re-sign McAdoo, instead offering a contract to veteran Maurice Lucas for the 6th man role. “It was a great opportunity for me to play with Kareem and Magic,” <mask> said of his tenure with the Lakers. “For the first time in my career, I had a chance to win a championship.But I had no thoughts at all in my mind about coming off the bench. It just happened. To me it was a wrap I would start. They didn’t have anyone who could stick with me at that position, but I dealt with it because I had never been on a championship team. And I’ve never been one to cause disruption or anything like that.”

<mask>ru Vaida-Voevod cabinet (December 1919 – March 1920), Minister of Communications and of Industry and Commerce in the Ion I. C. Brătianu cabinet (January 1922 – March 1926). Early life
Moșoiu was born in 1868 in the village Újtohán/Tohanul Nou, at the time in Austria-Hungary, now part of Zărnești, Brașov County. He was the son of Ana, née Răduțoiu, and Moise, a shepherd who later became mayor of Tohanul Nou. He went to the Andrei Șaguna High School in Brașov, then studied at the Ludovica Academy in Budapest and the Theresian Military Academy in Vienna. He graduated from the latter academy on 1 June 1889 with the rank of second lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian Army, and was sent to the  Sibiu garrison. In 1891 he got into conflicts with fellow officers after he expressed frustration with the lack of equal rights for ethnic Romanians within the Habsburg Empire.As a result, he was arrested and imprisoned, but, with his father's help, he managed to escape. He then crossed the Bucegi Mountains into Romania, arriving in Sinaia, where he surrendered to the authorities, asking to join the Romanian Army ranks. Career in the Romanian Army
In April 1893 he became a second lieutenant with the 9th Infantry Regiment, garrisoned at Râmnicu Vâlcea, advancing to lieutenant the next year and to captain in 1900. On 27 July 1897 in Buzău he married Maria Furtunescu, a French teacher; they had two children, Tiberiu (b. 1898) and Mariana (b. 1903).
