Early life and education
<mask> was born in Long Branch, New Jersey to Jewish parents, Sylvia (née Eisenberg) and <mask>, an optician. He attended Long Branch High School.He received a B.A. from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and earned both an M.A. and PhD from Stanford University, where he was a Stegner Fellow in creative writing. He was a student of Francis Fergusson and Paul Fussell at Rutgers and Yvor Winters at Stanford. Personal life
<mask> married Ellen Jane Bailey, a clinical psychologist, in 1961. They have three children. <mask> taught at Wellesley College and at the University of California at Berkeley, and now lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts and teaches in the graduate writing program at Boston University.Career
Early on, <mask> was inspired by the flow and tension of jazz and the excitement that it made him feel. As a former saxophonist, he has said that being a musician was a profoundly influential experience that he has tried to reproduce in his poetry. The musicality of poetry was and is extremely important to his work. Additionally, <mask> revealed in a 1999 interview with Bomb Magazine that he enjoys jazz for its "physical immediacy, improvisation and also the sense that a lifetime of suffering and study and thought and emotion is behind some single phrase." <mask> has acknowledged that his poetry would change somewhat depending on the particular subjectivity of each reader. Embracing the idea that people's individuality would fill out the poem, he has said, "The poetry I love is vocal, composed with the poet's voice and I believe its proper culmination is to be read with a reader's imagined or actual voice.

No aspect of a poem, he observes, is more singular, more unique, than its rhythm, for there are no rules. He received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in 1974, and in 1997 he was named the United States Poet Laureate and Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress; he is the first and so far only poet to be named to three terms. As Poet Laureate, <mask> founded the Favorite Poem Project, in which thousands of Americans of varying backgrounds, all ages, and from every state share their favorite poems. <mask> believed that, contrary to stereotype, poetry has a strong presence in the American culture.The project sought to document that presence, giving voice to the American audience for poetry. The Shakespeare Theatre of Washington, D.C. commissioned <mask> to write a free adaptation of Friederich Schiller's drama Wallenstein. The Shakespeare Theatre presented the play, starring Stephen Pickering in the title role, directed by Michael Kahn, in 2013. Premiering on April 17 of that year, the play had a sold-out run, in repertory with Coriolanus. <mask> also wrote the libretto for Death and the Powers, an opera by composer Tod Machover. The opera received its world premiere in Monte Carlo in September 2010 and its U.S. premiere at Boston's Cutler Majestic Theater in March 2011. <mask> is also the author of the interactive fiction game Mindwheel (1984) developed by Synapse Software and released by Broderbund.<mask> guest-starred in an episode of the animated sitcom The Simpsons TV show, "Little Girl in the Big Ten" (2002), and appeared on The Colbert Report in April, 2007, as the

<mask> (February 29, 1896 – April 23, 1973) was an American political operative and crony ("poker-playing intimate" and even "court jester") for US Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Dwight D<mask> (as well as one-time head football coach of Cumberland University's football team in their lopsided match against Georgia Tech.) Background

<mask> was born on February 29, 1896, in Booneville, Mississippi. He earned a law degree (LLB) at Cumberland University in Tennessee. In 1939, he earned an LLD. Career

Coaching

In 1916, <mask> served as head football coach for Cumberland College Bulldogs in Lebanon, Tennessee, for one game, during which his alma mater Cumberland University suffered the greatest loss in the history of college football to Georgia Tech by a score of 222 to 0. A favorite is his account of the Georgia Tech-Cumberland U. football game in 1916. Cumberland's fullback and captain, <mask> himself, made the best run of the game for his hard pressed side: "I only lost six yards."He would have made one beautiful punt if his own center had not blocked it with the back of his neck. <mask> recalls: "I once dropped the ball and yelled at another fellow: 'Pick it up.' He yelled back at me, 'Pick it up yourself, you dropped it.'" The score: Tech, 222; Cumberland, 0. Cumberland had actually discontinued its football program before the season but was not allowed to cancel its game against the Engineers. Georgia Tech coach John Heisman insisted on the schools' scheduling agreement, which required Cumberland to pay $3,000 (considered a sizeable sum in 1916 and roughly equivalent to $70,000 currently) to Tech if its football team failed to show. <mask> (who was elected to serve as Cumberland's football team student manager after first serving as the baseball team student manager), also a Kappa Sigma Fraternity member, put together a scrub team of 14 men to travel

During World War I, <mask> "wangled himself a commission" in the US Army. Law and business

<mask> later practiced law in Mississippi and Indiana, afterwards engaging in various business ventures. In the 1920s he managed hotel properties in Washington, D.C. (including the Wardman Park Hotel) eventually drifting into politics and serving President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. Politics

<mask> "wangled himself" onto the Board of Commissioners for the District of Columbia (1933-8, 1939–40) and treasurer and then secretary of the Democratic National Committee. In 1943, he served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. On behalf of the Red Cross, <mask> made a number of trips to England and Europe where, in the 1940s, he and Dwight D<mask> developed a friendship that grew over the ensuing years.<mask> also served as a director of the War Damage Corporation, a government effort to provide insurance against war-related damage. In 1944, he "latched onto" Harry S. Truman, helped him secure candidacy as vice president, drafted his convention speech, and served as manager of his vice-presidential campaign. When FDR died in April 1945, <mask> flew to Washington directly and helped draft the three speeches that Truman would deliver and oversaw Truman's transition into the presidency. <mask> "managed the ticklish task of easing" Secretary of State Stettinius out in favor of James Byrnes. He helped the Truman administration in liquidating government war agencies. In 1946, he accepted an appointment as a director of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, where he served through 1947. In accepting, he was carefully to avoid conflict of interest by dropping

On July 2, 1948, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that <mask> would undertake to ask General <mask> for a "Sherman-like pronouncement that he would not run if nominated at the Democratic convention and would serve if elected" in the November 1948 US presidential elections. "This effort will be made with the 'full knowledge and acquiescence' of the President and his so-called 'Kitchen Cabinet' of political strategists." Business, law, and political circles

Although <mask> left government service with the end of the Truman administration, <mask> remained in the public eye as a friend of President <mask>, a prominent member of "Ike's millionaires", a group of businessmen who socialized with <mask> in various leisure activities. <mask> had a home in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania near <mask>'s residence, and in 1959 <mask> stayed at <mask>'s home in La Quinta, California.

The press called <mask> many names in his time, including: court jester, fat man, roly-poly, and clown."He never seems to run out of funny things to say—scrupulously never tells anything off-color." The press referred to Truman's close advisers as his "gang," prompters, and Kitchen Cabinet. In August 1946, Time magazine named his top four advisers as:  "The Professor" John Roy Steelman, "The Lawyer" Clark McAdams Clifford, "The Banker" John Wesley Snyder, and <mask>. <mask><mask> died age 77 on April 23, 1973, of a heart attack in Palm Desert, California.

The public library in <mask>'s home town of Booneville, Mississippi, is named the <mask> E<mask> Library in his honor, and a major street is named "<mask>. <mask> Drive". According to the Eisenhower Library:  Though lawyer, businessman, and public servant, <mask> was foremost known as a raconteur. This, along with mutual interests in golf, bridge, and farming probably formed the basis of the friendship between <mask> and <mask>.The relationship was largely social and according to <mask> associates it was valuable to the President as an antidote to the stress of the office. The friendship continued through <mask>'s retirement and <mask> remained close to Mamie after <mask>'s death. Works

<mask> (July 8, 1917 – February 9, 1995) was the founder of the LMC Lake Michigan Car Ferry service. He is also known as an industrialist who made environmental test chambers for the aircraft industry, aerospace industry, commercial industry, rocket industry, NASA, and the United States Armed Forces. The headquarters for his companies were in Holland, Michigan, with sales and service branches throughout the world. His formal schooling was as a high school graduate and a correspondence course in refrigeration. Early life

<mask> was born to parents James and Ella in Ludington, Michigan, on July 8, 1917. His father worked for 35 years on carferries. <mask> graduated from the local Ludington High School in 1935.For a year after that he had part-time jobs as a dishwasher at Stearns Hotel and as a woodworker for Carrom Manufacturing Company and Thompson Cabinet Company, both in Ludington. During this time he took correspondence school courses to learn about refrigeration. <mask>'s first career job was in 1937 as a refrigeration service repairman in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He then moved to Holland, Michigan, in March 1941, and in that year established a refrigeration service business, borrowing over $300 () to get it started. In 1942 he moved to Lansing, Michigan, and worked almost three years in the refrigeration field on environmental simulation chambers for environmental testing of aircraft. In 1945 <mask> moved back to Holland and re-established his business as the Charles F. Conrad Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Service & Sales Company. He installed air conditioning units in commercial businesses like restaurants at that time.Mid life

In 1951 <mask> became involved in building an extreme cold chamber for H.E. Morse Company that could reach a temperature of . He built his first unit on the front porch of his home in Holland, Michigan. He had redesigned a home freezer to accomplish this and sold it to General Motors Heat Treat Lab in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They ordered two more of these environmental chambers for him to construct. He then started a company called

Some of these projects the test chambers were used for were the X-15 research rocket aircraft and the Redstone experimental missiles. Other projects the chambers were used for were the Thor launch rocket, the Falcon guided missile, the LaCrosse tactical weapon, the Pershing ballistic missile, and the Polaris nuclear missile. Conrad's chambers were also used in space research by supplying test equipment for NASA. The company was one of the leaders in the development of the research test chambers. Most of the employees of the company were natives of the Holland area or long-term residents.Conrad, Inc. had sales locations at twelve branches throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. In 1962, <mask> quit Conrad, Inc. and started a new company called Thermotron, being the only employee at that time. His new Holland company received their first order from Republic Aviation to build some environmental test chambers to test precision aircraft components of the F-105 supersonic fighter bomber jet under extreme temperatures. Thermotron had 40 employees by 1966 with branches in Canada and France. <mask>'s company had 117 employees in 1973 and 175 employees in 1976 with three plants in Holland, one in California, and five sales or service centers throughout the United States. It eventually grew to over 500 employees by 1980, becoming the largest in the industry in the world. The company expanded from one building location of  to seven factory buildings all around Holland, Michigan.Some of the factories had nearly  of factory floor space. The

texts: Thermotron environmental test chambers were used in the automobile industry for product quality assurance, the aerospace industry to test satellite electronics for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, the electrical and electronic industries, and the United States military. They were also used by IBM, IT&T and the Project Gemini, Project Mercury, and the Apollo national programs. <mask>'s company title was President, Chief Engineer, and Sales/Marketing manager. The majority of test chambers manufactured were for controlling temperature, temperature-humidity, and combinations of these environments with vibration equipment option attachments. The chambers cooled or heated electronically without gases or any moving parts. Marine refrigeration and "over the road" truck air conditioning were side-lines that Thermotron developed.Other side-line products Thermotron made were kilns for the ceramic industry and mercury detection equipment used by the United States National Bureau of Standards and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Aqua-Lab was a product <mask> added to Thermotron's Anti-Pollution Technology Division in 1970. It was a scientific work station used in pollution studies, lake bottom sampling and natural habitat water research. It was a specifically designed controlled watercraft of foam-filled molded fiberglass pontoons with a rear mounted paddle wheel and an air cooled engine. It saved many man-hours of labor that were required by technical personnel to obtain scientific information by testing samples by hand. The environmental simulation chambers are insulated welded boxes with mechanical cooling and heating systems to provide low temperature down to  and high temperatures up . The test chambers are designed to comply with United States military specifications, and are used to test electronic components and complete units used in many defense products such as radio communication equipment, airborne radar, and missile guidance systems.Many environmental testing chambers are also designed for commercial and industrial product testing such as

Conrad purchased three ships, ,  and , from the defunct Michigan-Wisconsin Transportation company in 1991. The transportation company had insurmountable debts and went out of business in November of 1990. He renamed his new enterprise LMC Lake Michigan Car Ferry Service when the U.S. Bankruptcy Court awarded the Badger and two other ships to the new carferry service on February 18, 1992. <mask> converted Badger to a tourist passenger cruise ship and automobile carrier from a railroad carferry at a cost of $1,500,000 ().He put the ship back in service in 1992, hoping to get 80,000 passengers the first season. He exceeded his goal with 115,000 passengers in their first year of operation. Badger is the only ship carrying both passengers and automobiles across any of the Great Lakes, and it is the last coal fired passenger steamship in the United States. <mask> referred to the ship as "The Big Badger". The SS Badger is claimed the largest carferry on the Michigan Great Lakes of as 2020. It is  long and travels at  to make the 4.5-hour trip across Lake Michigan. It makes almost 500 crossings per year during the summer with about six hundred passengers and just under two hundred vehicles (motorcycles, automobiles, RVs, trucks) on each trip.The ship contains 40 staterooms and an outside deck. The ship was designated an official registered Wisconsin Historic Site in 1997. SS Badger was given a Ship of Year award by the American Steamship Historical Society in 2002. Since 2009 it has been listed in the United States Register of Historic Places and since 2016 it has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Later life and death

title: Jaap Schreurs

texts:
<mask> (19 November 1913 in The Hague – 16 February 1983 in Utrecht) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist in the neo-figurative style. Life

<mask> was born as <mask> in The Hague, Netherlands, to Jacobus Lambertus Keizer and his common-law wife <mask>. His father was a painter in the style of the Hague School. As a child, <mask> often accompanied his father when he went into the countryside to paint the Dutch landscape, and he let the child have a go at it too. In his teens Schreurs joined a group of boys who went to the polders for the day, painting and drawing. Afterwards the boys' efforts were seriously examined and commented on by <mask>’s father, who insisted on the importance of perfection and professional skill
. In his adolescence Schreurs lost the sight of his right eye.From then on he had to live without the ability to see depth and perspective. He studied at the Royal Academy of Art and the Free Academy of Visual Art in The Hague. His teachers were Christiaan de Moor and Francis de Erdely. After he had finished his studies, he installed himself as a professional painter, and led the life of a poor but hard-working artist. During World War II he had to go into hiding because he refused to sign the so-called ‘declaration of Aryan descent’ (‘Ariërverklaring’), which the Nazi racial policy required from every artist. From that moment on, he was punishable by law. Schreurs moved to Utrecht in the early 1950s.He led a rather secluded life and refused to become a member of an art society or to conform to any contemporary school of painting. He wanted to develop his own style independently and had no ambition to become a career painter. He also declined the

 humanity. Not all paintings from this period are in this confrontational style. Other works radiate a peaceful, introverted, or resigned atmosphere. Graphics

During the last twenty years of his life Schreurs possessed an etching press. He liked experimenting with all kinds of unusual materials in order to create special effects.His graphic oeuvre runs to nearly four hundred pieces and shows a great variety of themes and styles.

title: Fortunato de Felice, 2nd Count Panzutti

texts:
<mask> (24 August 1723 – 13 February 1789), 2nd <mask>, also known as <mask> and  Francesco Placido Bartolomeo De Felice, was an Italian nobleman, a famed author, philosopher, scientist, and is said to have been one of the most important publishers of the 18th century. He is considered a pioneer of education in Switzerland, and a formative contributor to the European Enlightenment. Life
<mask> was born in Rome to a Neapolitan family, as the eldest of six children, on 24 August 1723. He was confirmed in 1733 in the parish of St. Celso e Giuliano. At the age of 12, he studied at Rome and Naples under the Jesuits, taught by the Franciscan <mask> Brescia. On 28 May 1746 he was ordained by papal dispensation, whilst also teaching philosophy. Through his studies at the monastery of San Francesco in Ripa, he discovered a love of physics, becoming friends with Celestino Galiani.In 1753, Galiani appointed <mask>lice chair of Ancient and Modern Geography, and the chair of experimental physics and mathematics at Naples University. There he became friends with the Prince Raimondo di Sangro who aided him in his translation of the physicist John Arbuthnot's works from Latin. After rescuing the imprisoned Countess <mask>, Félice and his new wife Agnese fled to Bern, with the help of his friend Albrecht von Haller, due to religious persecution from the Roman Catholic Church in Rome. He then converted to Protestantism. In 1758, he founded with :de:Vincenz Bernhard Tscharner the Typographic Society of Bern, which was an Italian-speaking ( l'Estratto de la

In 1762, after the death of the Countessa di Panzutti due to influenza at Tscharner's residence, Château Lansitz, <mask> moved to Yverdon where he founded an educational institute for young people from all over Europe, and a printing press. The latter quickly developed into one of the most distinguished in Switzerland, producing the Yverdon Encyclopedia, for which <mask> is now famous.In 1769 he became a citizen of Yverdon, and thereby became Swiss. He was married four times and had 13 children: in 1756 to Countess Agnese Arcuato, Countessa <mask> (1720-1759) (whereby his earldom was received suo jure, so Arcuato's previous husband was recorded as the first Count <mask>), in 1759 to Susanne <mask>re Neuchâtel (1737-1769), in 1769 to Louise Marie Perrelet (died 1774), and in 1774 to Jeanne Salomé Sinet. He died in Yverdon-les-Bains. Work
De Felice is considered a significant contributor to education in Switzerland. As editor and translator of Burlamaqui's Principes du Droit Naturel, his name became synonymous with natural law throughout Europe. His most important work is the Encyclopédie d'Yverdon, which he headed as editor and for which he wrote more than 800 articles. From 1770 to 1780 he published 58 volumes, and as the Encyclopédie of Paris had a new version of the Protestant perspective.His other work consists of half a dozen educational, philosophical and scientific books. He translated the works of René Descartes, d'Alembert, Maupertuis and

title: Íñigo de Alfaro

texts:
Fray <mask> ( 1396–1435) was an Aragonese nobleman and Knight Hospitaller. He was the defending commander at the Siege of Smyrna in 1402 against the Turco-Mongol conqueror Timur. He later played a key role in the Compromise of Caspe that settled the Aragonese interregnum in 1412. Rhodes and Smyrna

Íñigo was born into a noble family of Logroño. During the rule of Grand Master <mask>, a fellow Aragonese, he spent time at the Hospitaller headquarters in Rhodes. One of three coats of arms carved into the lintel above the doorway to the chapel of Saint George on Rhodes has been tentatively identified as <mask>'s. The other two belonged to Heredia and his lieutenant, Pierre Culant.<mask> rose in the ranks to become lieutenant of the draper (one of the high officials of the central convent), who was also a Spaniard, and then lieutenant to the commander of the island of Kos, where he can be traced between 20 March 1400 and 17 February 1401. <mask> was appointed castellan or captain of Smyrna, a city in western Anatolia and one of the last crusader outposts in Asia, probably on 1 March 1401. Only three documents—22 February, 8 March and 2 May 1402—show him as castellan of Smyrna, but appointment to the office was annual and customarily took place on 1 March. It is for this reason that he is thought to be the castellan in power during the siege of the city in December 1402, since no document that mentions that castellan names him. It would be highly unusual, however, if the castellan in charge in May were not there in December. The lower town of Smyrna, with the harbour and sea-castle, was under the control of the Hospitallers on behalf of the Papacy. The upper town with its fortress was under Ottoman control.In 1400–02, Timur attacked the Ottoman Empire and invaded Anatolia. With the Ottomans utterly defeated and the sultan captured at the Battle of Ankara, he turned on Smyrna. Although the defences had been greatly improved in a series of projects going back to 1392,

 <mask> had only 200 knights under his command. The siege began on 2 December 1402, and they resisted for two weeks before the walls were breached. At least some of the Hospitallers, <mask> included, reached their ships and managed to escape, while the population was slaughtered. Despite the loss, <mask> received treatment befitting a victor when he landed in Genoa. He informed King Martin of Aragon of the loss of Smyrna by February 1403, perhaps having already returned to Aragon by then.Aragon

Compromise of Caspe

After <mask> returned to Aragon. he was made commander of the fortress of Ricla in 1407. That same year, the Avignonese pope Benedict XIII appointed him ambassador of the Holy See to the court of King Martin I of Sicily in 1407. On 31 May 1410, King Martin of Aragon died and the succession was disputed. It was decided that a parliament of representatives from the three components of the crown—Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia—would meet to settle the issue. When the parliament opened in Calatayud on 8 February 1411, <mask> <mask> escorted the governor and justiciar of Aragon, Juan Ximénez Cerdán and Gil Ruiz <mask>i, respectively, into the assembly. The castellan of Amposta, Pedro Ruiz <mask>, the most powerful Hospitaller in Aragon strongly favoured the candidacy of James II, Count of Urgell.The choice of <mask> to escor the presidents of the assembly may have been designed to show that the Hospitallers were not united behind any single candidate. <mask> was subsequently sent by this parliament as an emissary to Valencia. When a second parliament convened at Alcañiz, <mask> shared responsibility for the defence of the town with the castellan, Guillem Ramon Alemany <mask>, a grand commander of the Order of Calatrava. <mask> attended the final parliament met at Caspe, and was present when the famous compromise was publicly read on 28 June 1412. He and Guillem Ramon were then charged with bringing the news to the newly elected king, Ferdinand I. He kissed

 the king's hand at the ceremony of proclamation and took the oath of homage on behalf of the Aragonese kingdom. He was probably present at the coronation in the Seo de Zaragoza on 11 February 1413.Trial of the castellan of Amposta

The castellan of Amposta refused to recognise the new king. Ferdinand thus suspended him from the castellany in 1413, and placed it under the regency of Íñigo. The Catalan corts that met in Tortosa in 1413 summoned <mask> as "the regent of the Castellany of Amposta" (regenti Castellaniam Emposte). He was still regent in Amposta as of 11 January 1416, but shortly thereafter Pedro Ruiz was deposed and Gonzalo <mask> appointed in his place. In 1414, a tribunal was convoked by Benedict XIII to try Pedro Ruiz. The tribunal was not limited to his refusal to obey Ferdinand and accept the compromise of Caspe. <mask> and another Hospitaller, Pascasi <mask>, prior of Monzón, were charged by the tribunal with conducting an inquiry "into the said lord Fray Pedro, castellan, and his houses and rooms in various places in the said castellany" (in dicto domino fratre Petro, castellano, et suis castris seu cameris ac locis dicte Castellanie).In the process of this inquiry into his lifestyle and business dealings, the Hospitallers took down the testimony of 67 witnesses. In the end, Pedro Ruiz was convicted of everything from concubinage to robbery. Following the removal of Pedro Ruiz and the promotion of Gonzalo <mask>, <mask> replaced Gonzalo as commander of the castle at Aliaga. He was seriously ill when, on 3 April 1427, an administrator was appointed for him. He was still ill seven years later on 16 August 1434, when the grand master, a Catalan, Antoni <mask>, expressed concern. He is last mentioned on 28 March 1435. References

<mask><mask> is an American ecosystem ecologist, biogeochemist, and professor at Duke University. Bernhardt studies the effects of land use change, global change, and chemical pollution on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and is the co-author of an award-winning text book on biogeochemistry. She also served as the president of the Society for Freshwater Science from 2016 to 2017. Education and early career
Bernhardt received her Bachelor of Sciences degree in biology with a minor in chemistry from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1996. Her love for nature, including hiking in the Appalachian Mountains, as well as many research experiences as an undergraduate (including an REU at University of Michigan Biological Station) inspired her to become an ecologist. In her final year at UNC, Bernhardt was awarded an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship to pursue a PhD at Cornell University, co-advised by Cornell faculty Bobbi Peckarsky and Institute of Ecosystem Studies director Gene Likens. Bernhardt conducted her dissertation research at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, in New Hampshire, USA, studying how headwater streams modify watershed nutrient export.Bernhardt also conducted research in Venezuela and Chile during her graduate career. While presenting a poster at the Ecological Society of America conference, Bernhardt met her future postdoctoral advisor, Bill Schlesinger, who was a professor at Duke University at the time and offered her a position on the spot. As a postdoc, Bernhardt continued to work on nitrogen cycling, however, this time focusing in the rooting zones of pine trees in poorly drained soils rather than in streams. She returned to working in aquatic systems as a postdoc in 2002, organizing the National River Restoration Science Synthesis under guidance from Margaret Palmer and Dave Allen which resulted in a highly-cited publication in the journal Science. As a postdoc in Palmer's lab, Bernhardt also organized the Ecological Society

<mask>, ex-wife of former Liberian President <mask>, was born on 27 September 1965 in Liberia. On 2 June 2017, she was arrested in London by the Metropolitan Police and charged with torture on the grounds of her suspected involvement with the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NFPL) rebel group, which was led by her ex-husband, during the First Liberian Civil War, from 1989 to 1996. Exile
As the second Liberian civil war broke out in 1999, <mask> was appointed by <mask> to serve as Permanent Representative of Liberia to the International Maritime Organization, which headquarters in London, from 1999 to 2005. In 2003 the Security Council Committee established in resolution 1521 a list of Liberian individuals and entities subject to a travel ban and included <mask>. In 2007 she was granted asylum in the UK, while she was still on the travel ban list, which was updated to include her location as being in the United Kingdom. She was removed from the travel ban list in 2012. She settled in the UK, where she worked as a lecturer at the London School of Commerce and Coventry University.Her residence in the UK allowed the UK authorities to arrest and charge her, based on universal jurisdiction laws, with the crimes she allegedly committed in Liberia. Charges
She was charged with seven counts of torture allegedly committed in Gbarnga, in northern Liberia, and in Gborplay, in north-eastern Liberia. The torture charges were brought under section 134(1) of the UK Criminal Justice Act 1988. She was also charged with one count of conspiracy to commit torture between 23 December 1989 and 1 January 1991, under section 1(1) of the UK Criminal Law Act 1977. Gbarnga had served as the headquarters of <mask>'s NPFL during the first Liberian civil war. A final peace agreement led to the election of <mask> as President of Liberia in 1997. The eight counts <mask> <mask> faced concerned events in 1990 as the first civil war

 raged across Liberia.·     The charge of conspiracy to commit torture related to her alleged facilitation of the rape of captive women by soldiers in <mask>'s rebel forces (NPFL)

·     Three of the torture charges related to her alleged infliction of "severe pain or suffering", including assaults, on a 13-year-old child soldier. ·     She was also allegedly involved in the torture of a “pastor’s wife” who resisted being raped by one of <mask>'s commanders. She allegedly "ordered that the woman be tied [in a manner that caused pain amounting to torture]. The defendant then shot and killed the woman's two young children, saying ‘See if you refuse an order this will happen'." Anges <mask> denied involvement in any crimes. She was held in pre-trial detention in the UK from 2 June 2017 until her release in 2019. Dismissal
On 6 December 2019 the Central Criminal Court (The Old Bailey) in London decided to dismiss the charges against <mask> <mask>.The Court's decision came after the UK Supreme Court confirmed, in a historic judgment on 13 November 2019, that members of non-State armed groups may be prosecuted for crimes of torture under section 134(1) of the UK Criminal Justice Act 1988, thus legally paving the way for the case against <mask> <mask> to proceed to trial. However, after rendering its judgment, the UK Supreme Court sent the case back to the Central Criminal Court to consider further evidence from the prosecution's expert and apply the legal standard confirmed by the Supreme Court to the facts of the case. In order for a member of a non-State armed group to be prosecuted for torture, the group must have been exercising “governmental functions”. The Central Criminal Court ruled that the evidence presented by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) failed to prove that the NPFL had the requisite authority over the relevant territory at the time the crimes in question were committed. Therefore, the Court

 dismissed the case. However, in its decision, the Court noted that “there is prima facie evidence that she held a high rank in the NPFL and (…) carried out, whether personally, or by giving orders, or by acquiescing in, the acts of torture (…) which took place in, or on the border of, Nimba County." Thus, <mask> was not found innocent.Civitas Maxima and the Monrovia-based Global Justice and Research Project (GJRP) provided the initial information to the UK authorities which led the Metropolitan Police to conduct an investigation into <mask> <mask> for several years. UK law allows the CPS in these circumstances to return to court if further evidence of government-like control is gathered. It remains to be seen if CPS will do this. Her return to Liberia
Seven months after the dismissal of her case, <mask> <mask> returned to Liberia. Although she had claimed asylum in the UK, her application to settle there permanently was refused under a Home Office rule that there were serious reasons to consider that she had, amongst other things, committed a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against humanity. Upon her return in Liberia, <mask> <mask> stated in a press conference on 27 July 2020 that it was “one of the misconceptions that was out there” that she was “looking for asylum” in the UK, and claimed that she “got asylum in the UK in 2007.” In her written press statement issued the same day, she claimed that: “I have returned home to the land of my birth to also contribute to the building of our nation. I am a Liberian with deep love for my country and people.Those of you who know me can attest to this. I am no stranger to many well-meaning Liberians as I was born here, grew up here and went to school and university (The University of Liberia) here”. In her press conference and written press statement, she also accused the organisations and witnesses who assisted the UK authorities with their

 investigation and prosecution of her of colluding and lying, and taking part in “a grand mischievous and vicious scheme to destroy [her]” in “the hope of financial gain”. She also accused the British Police of arresting her before conducting any investigation: “they arrested me first and began to investigate several months later”. <mask> <mask>'s return in Liberia provoked a lot of discussion in the press and on social media. A founding member of the National Patriotic Party (NPP), George Mulbah, wrote on his Facebook page: “The National Patriotic Party welcome the founding mother of the party Mrs. <mask> <mask> to Liberia. <…> Join me to welcome <mask> to Liberia”

Controversies
During the press conference, <mask> <mask> said some problematic comments regarding human rights defenders, which prompted an immediate reaction from international human rights organisations, including Human Rights Watch, Center for Justice and Accountability, Centre for Civil and Political Rights, Civil Society Human Rights Advocacy Platform of Liberia, Civitas Maxima, Independent Human Rights Investigators, The Advocates for Human Rights, The Global Justice and Research Project who released a joint statement reminding the Government of Liberia of its obligation to protect human rights defenders, and of the United Nations Human Rights Committee's Concluding Observations, issued in 2018.The UN body said that the Government of Liberian should make certain that “all alleged perpetrators of gross human rights violations and war crimes are impartially prosecuted and, if found guilty, convicted and punished in accordance with the gravity of the acts committed.”

The Human Rights Committee's Observations required Liberia to report by 27 July 2020 on the implementation of the recommendations regarding accountability for past crimes. Liberia has not met this deadline. References

Luckily for <mask>, she was riding in the second section along with actors Warner Baxter and Edmund Lowe. Forty others among the film company also riding in that section were spared injury when the second section missed hitting the first. The steam engine, two cars of the baggage car section, and a day coach overturned after the train struck a roadbed which had been softened by rain. The Argonaut was en route to a location shoot for The Cisco Kid (1931), in Tucson.<mask>'s character, "Carmencita," was the primary female role and source of strife between the Lowe and Baxter characters. Fox starlet
In 1931, Fox Films selected three of its own stars in opposition to the thirteen actresses chosen as WAMPAS Baby Stars, sponsored by the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers. The three were <mask>, Helen Mack, and Linda Watkins. Eleven Fox publicity men resigned in protest of the WAMPAS Baby Stars decision to eschew naming any Fox starlets among its list of actresses most likely to achieve success. In addition, Fox promised to name budding stars, or "Fox debutante stars", annually. Montenegro was sometimes featured in stage shows which coincided with the screening of film premieres. One such instance was the premiere of A Passport To Hell, starring Elissa Landi.The movie debuted at the Loew's Kings Theater in August 1932. <mask> provided the vaudeville entertainment beforehand.

Following a rare interview with Montenegro shortly before her death, Spanish author José Rey Ximena claims in his book, El Vuelo del Ibis [The Flight of the Ibis] that British actor Leslie Howard, with whom Montenegro had an affair after the pair starred together in Never the Twain Shall Meet (1931), used Montenegro to get close to Spanish leader Francisco Franco after being given the special mission by Winston Churchill to meet and urge Franco not to enter World War II on the side of the Axis powers.
