<mask> (born 1949) hon FRIBA is a British site-specific artist recognised for her work in stone relief. Her best known works include Stone Drawing for St John's College, Oxford, completed in 2019, and Henslow's Walk at Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge, winner of the Stirling Prize 2012. Biography
Heron was born in Welwyn Garden City in 1949. Her family moved from London to Eagles Nest, Zennor, Cornwall in 1955. She is the younger daughter of the painter Patrick Heron and <mask> (née Reiss) and sister of architect Katharine Heron. She was educated at Penzance Girls Grammar School and studied at Falmouth School of Art (1967–68) and Central School of Art and Design, London (1968–1971). Since 1978 the artist has lived and worked in the East End of London.She moved to her present studio in Shoreditch in 2006. Exhibitions
Heron’s first exhibition of sculpture was shown at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1985, displaying wall works with small sculptures including Frieze (1983–84), a series of small gilded silver shapes with a circle in common, "Heron's first fully mature statement". This was followed by exhibitions at Plymouth Arts Centre (1986), The Showroom (1987), Camden Arts Centre (1989), and Newlyn Art Gallery (1992)

A defining group of works at this time entitled Shima included small bronze sculptures, cibachrome photographs, and an artist's book Shima: Island and Garden, each represented in the Arts Council Collection. The works came out of Heron’s involvement in the regeneration of the garden at Eagles Nest in 1987 following a severe frost and "… concern things unseen, buried, underground, internal, subconscious; involving sources of energy, generators, messengers, nerves and roots". In 2003 Heron installed wall drawings for her exhibition Elements at the

Early career
Between 1970 and 1983 Heron received international recognition as a major presence in British New Jewellery. Heron was awarded a UK/US Bicentennial Arts Fellowship (British Council/N.E.A.) in 1977 to travel and work in the USA for one year.Following this period, a series of works emerged entitled The Wearables, consisting of flat discs tied to the body. The Wearables were exhibited on the wall alongside photographs, created with David Ward, of the pieces being worn. Heron and Ward co-curated a collection of radical, wearable objects by different artists exhibited as The Jewellery Project at the Crafts Council in 1983. Her transition into sculpture followed; Heron "… was interested in jewellery as a way of making work that was accessible and unpretentious, something to be used in everyday life … This belief in her practice as a part of life and the concern for the application of art to different situations, beyond the gallery and the art world, has persisted in the more recent public works."

Regarded as a promising talent in his youth, <mask>'s precocious performances as a youngster earned him comparisons with former esteemed Russian goalkeepers Lev Yashin and Rinat Dasayev. In 2005, UEFA's Pavle Gognidze praised <mask> for being a "cool-headed" goalkeeper in spite of his young age, commenting: "On top of confidence, <mask> can also boast cat-like reflexes and excellent aerial ability while he is quick off his line to deal with crosses and through balls.

<mask> (28 July 1899 – 13 March 1986) was a German politician. He was the "lord mayor" () of Dresden during the most intensive period of the city's rebuilding, between 1946 and 1958. Life

Early years
<mask> was born at the tail end of the nineteenth century in Lauter, a small town in the Kingdom of Saxony some 20 km (12 miles) from the German frontier with Bohemia which at that time was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father worked from home as a weaver of punnets/baskets. He attended school locally and then between 1914 and 1917, undertook an apprenticeship as a carpenter. In 1918, the year of his nineteenth birthday, he was briefly called up for military service. He joined the Workers' Youth Movement in 1916 and in 1919 joined the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (Unabhängige Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, USPD) which had broken away from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD /)) a couple of years earlier primarily, at that time, because of the mainstream party's continuing support for the war.Like many USPD party members he quit the party after a couple more years, and in 1922 switched to the Communist Party (KPD). Carpentry, unemployment and politics
Between March 1919 and 1928 worked as a carpenter in Zwickau:  there were also periods of unemployment and travel. Along with his membership of the KPD he was part of the local party leadership in Zwickau and also, from 1925 till 1928, a member of the regional party leadership in the nearby Ore Mountains district, a predominantly rural region interspersed with significant areas of commercial mining activity. In addition, between 1924 and 1928 he sat as a local councilor in Zwickau. From July 1928 he took on responsibility for the party's central publications operation on the other side of the country in Essen, a responsibility he retained till 1932. In 1929 <mask> was elected leader of the Carpentry Trades Union in the Essen district, but he

 resigned three days later on account of "party factionalism" which was a feature of left-wing politics in Germany during the 1920s. Reichstag member
In the general election of July 1932 the Communist Party won 14.3% of the national vote which entitled it to 89 seats in the Reichstag.One of those seats went to <mask>. In the next election which took place in November of that same year, the share of the votes going to the Communist Party increased a little, to 16.9%, and <mask> remained a de facto Reichstag member till March 1933. By that time the focus of attention was fixed on the NSDAP (Nazi Party) which had taken power in January 1933 and lost little time in establishing one-Party government in Germany. March 1933 saw the third national Reichstag election in less than a year. In early February the Nazis, now in power, had "unleashed a campaign of violence and terror that dwarfed anything seen so far." Storm troopers began attacking trade union and Communist Party (KPD) offices and the homes of left-wingers, extending their violence to Social Democrats later in the month. When the votes were counted the Communist share of the vote was down to 12.3%, but <mask> retained his seat under the rules then in force.Despite all their efforts in the run-up to the election the Nazi Party still failed to gain an overall majority of seats in the Reichstag. However, on 23 March 1933 they passed an Enabling Act, which in effect transformed the Hitler government into a legally sanctioned dictatorship. Political parties other than the Nazi Party were banned, and the Communist Party, as could have been predicted from Hitler's rhetoric over the previous decade, was at the top of the Nazi hit-list. March 1933 was <mask>'s last month as a member of the national legislature. Later in 1933 he was detained in the recently opened Sonnenburg concentration camp. Nazi Germany: exile and imprisonment

 undertook further work for the Communist Party, which now counted as illegal activity. During 1934 and 1935 he underwent further terms of "investigatory detention"  in Schwarzenberg and Dresden.At the end of September 1935 he emigrated to Prague. In December 1936 he moved on to Denmark where, using the cover name "Karl Förster", he worked with the northern regional German Communist Party (now in exile). In April 1938, "in absentia", he had his German citizenship withdrawn. In April 1940 Denmark was occupied by the German army and <mask> was interned. At the start of 1941 he was returned to Germany by the police and after a further period of detention on 3 June 1942 he was put on trial (briefly) in the People's Court (Volksgerichtshof), a special court set up by the government outside the constitutional frame of law and used for trials involving a widely drawn range of  "political offenses". He received the conventional fifteen-year prison sentence for "Preparing to commit High Treason". For over three years he was held in a succession of prisons including those at Brandenburg-Görden, Waldheim and Leipzig.In February 1945, after the Destruction of Dresden, <mask> was part of a Prisoners' Detachment moved to the city to help make a start on clearing the residual rubble. His detention was ended on 7/8 May 1945 when the Red Army arrived in Dresden. Soviet occupation zone
The end of World War II, in May 1945, heralded a return to multi-party politics and on his release <mask> rejoined the KPD. The whole of Saxony now fell within the Soviet occupation zone of what remained of Germany. He also joined the local "Anti-Fascist Committee" for the Strehlen quarter of Dresden. The whole of the area was under Soviet Military Administration, and before the end of May 1945 <mask> had been placed in charge of regional administration for Dresden-Leuben. On 5 July 1945 he became first deputy lord mayor of Dresden, serving at this time under "Lord Mayor"

 (), Johannes Müller.In this position <mask> enjoyed the support of the leading Communist party functionaries in Saxony, Hermann Matern and Kurt Fischer, which already gave him great power over city administration. <mask>'s political approach was appropriate to the times. He justified his newly acquired power on the grounds that he possessed "proper political convictions" while condemning political opponents as reactionaries. The German Democratic Republic would be founded formally only in October 1949, but already the basis for a return to one-party government had created in April 1946, under Soviet administration, with the contentious merger between the old Communist Party and the Moderate-left SPD. <mask> was one of thousands of Communist Party members who promptly signed his membership across to the new SED (party) which would become the young country's ruling party under its ever more overtly Soviet style constitution. Oberbürgermeister
In October 1945 Johannes Müller ceased to be Lord Mayor of Dresden, following a speech in which he had mentioned the difficulties of pursuing the rebuilding of Dresden while having to work in collaboration with the Soviet
administrators. He was succeeded by Gustav Leißner who held the office for just over a year.At a time when mayoral responsibilities were focused on food and shelter, Leißner was an energetic administrator who tried to stand aside from the political parties, but this involved working with the major parties from both sides of the political spectrum, including the "bourgeois" parties, the CDU and the LDPD. The "bourgeois" parties appreciated a bipartisan approach, which nevertheless ran counter to the increasingly apparent agenda of the new Soviet sponsored SED. At a City Council meeting on 10 October 1946 <mask> was elected Lord Mayor (Oberbürgermeister) of Dresden in succession to Gustav Leißner after the SED councilors had taken the meeting by surprise and withdrawn their support

texts: from Leißner. The new mayors most pressing priorities covered matters on which he had already been working such as police and personnel decisions along with rebuilding the city. In October 1947 a de-Nazification Commission was also established, over which <mask> presided in person. He would be re-elected Lord Mayor and confirmed in office by the Party Central Committee in 1950, 1953 and 1957, resigning eventually in 1958 (possibly on health grounds). High on the agenda during his early years in office was the ongoing clearance of wreckage and the rebuilding of the city.He had already, in January 1946, produced a paper entitled "1946, the first year of the great rebuilding" in which he set out a proposed political framework. There was a lively debate on the "rebuild or new build?" question. <mask> himself was a proponent of "new build", and had no time for architectural treasures or the care of old memorials. He conducted a vigorous and long-running public argument with the Dresden art historian and conservationist  on the issues involved. Nearly sixty years later <mask> was still identified in an opinionated press report on the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche as a "concrete-headed communist". Despite his own well known reservations about the nature and extent of Dresden's cultural and artistic heritage, <mask> was the president of the government delegation that arranged for the recovery from the Soviet Union of Dresden's Old Masters' Gallery's artistic treasures (which had been placed in safe storage during World War II, but then confiscated by the Red Army in 1945).In connection with this he traveled to Moscow in August 1955 as part of a high-profile East German government delegation. Sustaining international contacts on behalf of his country's ruling party was important to <mask>, who also visited West Germany as a representative of the Socialist "New Germany". On 3 December 1958, with the agreement of the city council, <mask> resigned

 as mayor. He had already, on 29 November, accepted an alternative appointment as Dresden District Council Chairman in succession to Rudolf Jahn. However, on 21 January 1961 <mask> was released from this office as well, on account of serious illness. This marked his retirement, although in the event he would continue to be politically active in less full-time capacities for many years. He remained a member of the Dresden city council till 1967.He also retained his position in the Dresden Party Leadership and district head of the AntiFascist Resistance fighters. Power beyond the city limits
Beyond his responsibilities in the city itself, <mask> also sat as a member of the regional legislative assembly (Landtag) for Saxony, where he chaired the "Communities Committee" from 1946 till 1952 when the regional assemblies and the regional tier of government were abolished in the German Democratic Republic: this was part of a process of concentrating power within The Party that had been under way since before the country's foundation three years earlier. Naturally he was also a member of the city and regional party leaderships. In addition, during the late 1940s and early 1950s Weidauer was a member of various community organisations and associations, propagating new theories of community politics, above all in opposition to the more parliamentary approach favoured by the despised "bourgeois parties". However, following the foundation of the state in 1949, the abolition of the regional tier of government in 1952, and the taming of the "bourgeois parties", community politics became ever less important. During 1948/49 <mask> was a member of the German People's Council and then, until its abolition, of the (provisional) Chamber of States (Länderkammer), a legislative chamber secondary in status and function to the more prominent People's Chamber (Volkskammer):  the Länderkammer had already been largely sidelined some years before its formal abolition

, born , is a Japanese–Canadian nuclear disarmament campaigner and Hibakusha who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. She is mostly known throughout the world for being a leading figure of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear weapons (ICAN) and to have given the acceptance speech for its reception of the 2017 Nobel peace prize. Earlier life
<mask> was born in Hiroshima Kojin-machi (today suburb of Minami) in 1932 and is the youngest of 7 children. She comes from a comfortable background. Her brothers and sisters being older and therefore having left the family home, she was the last one to live with her parents. In 1944, she entered in the girls only Hiroshima Jogakuin high school. Three weeks before the bomb, she was selected to participate in a student state program to decode American military communications as an assistant.Experience of the nuclear atomic bomb
On Monday August 6, 1945, she was working as a member of the student mobilisation program in the army headquarters (Higashi suburb today), located approximately 1.8 kilometres or 1.1 miles away from the hypocentre of the explosion. It was her first day in that mission. Around 8:15 AM, she was on the second floor of the wooden building. She saw a bluish-white flash from the window and remembers floating in the air (the building collapsing) before she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she heard her classmates whispering "Mother help me", "God help me". After some time, a soldier helped her to escape from the crumbling building before it burnt down with the rest of her schoolmates except two others." [...] Although it happened in the morning, it was dark, dark as twilight.And as our eyes got used to recognize things, those dark moving objects happened to be human beings. It was like a procession of ghosts. I say “ghosts” because they simply did not look like human beings. Their hair was rising upwards,

texts: and they were covered with blood and dirt, and they were burned and blackened and swollen. Their skin and flesh were hanging, and parts of the bodies were missing. Some were carrying their own eyeballs. And they collapsed onto the ground.Their stomach burst open, and intestines start stretching out. [...] we learned how to step over the dead bodies, and escaped. By the time we got to the hillside, at the foot of the hill was a huge army training ground about the size of two football fields [...]. The place was packed with dead bodies and dying people, injured people. And people were just begging in whisper. Nobody was shouting in strong voice, just a whisper: “Water please. Water please.” That’s all the physical and psychological strength left.They just whispered. We wanted to be of help to them, but we had no bucket and no cups to carry the water. [...] So we went to the nearby stream, washed off our dirt and the blood, and tore off our blouses, soaked them in the water, and dashed back to the dying people. We put the wet cloth over their mouth, and who desperately sucked in the moisture. [...] That’s how most of the people died." Eight members of her family (among who her 4 years old nephew Eiji to who she often refers to and was crossing the bridge with her sister, both who died totally burnt beyond recognition without her hairpiece) as well as 351 of her classmates and teachers died during or soon after the explosion. <mask> described the acute radiation syndrome that she and many others were victim of months and years after the bombing.She has several times talked about the fact that months after the bomb, she verified like others every morning that she was not developing purple spots on her body (symptoms of bone marrow failure or leukemia), symptom of an approaching death. She has described the death of her uncle and aunt following those symptoms. As many other hibakushas, <mask> lost

She has also revealed that many of her surviving schoolmates wore helmets long after the end of the war to hide their baldness. <mask> has declared that she was lucky that she and both her parents survived, and that they were able to be hosted by family unlike many others who had to live in the street. As many hibakushas, she described being numbed by the overwhelming of what she experienced and was only able to cry after the Makurazaki Typhoon that hit Hiroshima more than a month after "Little Boy". Having felt guilty of her lack of emotional demonstration, she has said that she only understood it years later when studying traumatism at the University.<mask> has also regularly described the hardships of the hibakushas, including the near starvation, lack of medical care, homelessness, social discrimination and the suffering from the atomic bomb casualty commission whose only purpose was to study the technical effects of radiations on bodies and not provide any treatment or support. She has denounced the US army's 7 years occupation and its strict censorship, erasement and confiscation of journals, data, visual support, poems and personal diaries of what was related to the drop of the two nuclear bombs. At the time of these events, she was a 13-year-old, grade 8 student. Her father died due to radiations in 1954, the same year that she went to study abroad and the year of the dropping of the H bomb in Bikini. Studies and profession
As an undergraduate, <mask> studied English literature and education at Hiroshima Jogakuin University before receiving a grant to study in the United States, where she studied sociology at Lynchburg College in Virginia from 1954. She later obtained a master's degree in social work from the University of Toronto. Anti-nuclear activism

Thurlow accepted the prize on behalf of the campaign at a ceremony in Oslo on December 10, 2017, together with Beatrice Fihn, the executive director of ICAN. During her reception speech, Mrs Thurlow declared, in reference to the moment she was trapped under the building after the bombing and saved by a soldier: "Then, suddenly, I felt hands touching my left shoulder, and heard a man saying: "Don't give up! Keep pushing! I am trying to free you.See the light coming through that opening? Crawl towards it as quickly as you can. [...] Our light now is the ban treaty.

No matter what obstacles we face, we will keep moving and keep pushing and keep sharing this light with others. This is our passion and commitment for our one precious world to survive".

<mask>-Rey (also <mask>-Tschesno: 14 December 1920 - 4 April 2001) was a German illustrator. She was one of the best known illustrators of children's books in the German Democratic Republic. Life
<mask> was born in Berlin. When she was 20 she embarked on a study of illustration and wall-art at the Berlin University of the Arts in Berlin-Charlottenburg. In 1946 she obtained a job as a press artist for the Tägliche Rundschau, a hitherto defunct newspaper title that had been revived by the military administration which since May 1945 had been in control of a large central portion of Germany, including the eastern half of Berlin itself. One year later she took a job in the arts department, working as an illustrator, at the Soviet Arts Palace ("Haus der Kultur der UdSSR"), where she stayed till 1950. It was in 1950 that her son, Grischa Meyer, was born: his father, Grigorij Weiss, was a Soviet cultural administrator.It was during this period that she designed the early issues of the monthly Roman-Zeitung, a magazine designed to popularise Soviet literature. She also produced her first published illustrations for children's books, which marked a decisive step in her career. Meanwhile, the political situation in what had been the Soviet occupation zone moved forwards in October 1949 when the entire zone was relaunched as the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic. In the early 1950s Meyer-Rey began working as a freelance illustrator, with connections to various publishing houses, of which probably the most significant was "Kinderbuchverlag Berlin". In 1957 she created "Bummi" the teddy bear, the main character in the eponymous monthly, later biweekly

 magazine for pre-school children. Bummi was at the heart of a long-running professional association with Ursula Werner-Böhnke who edited the magazine. As well as the book and magazine illustrations, Bummi also appeared on a silk stage curtain that she made for the Berlin Puppet Theatre.Meyer-Rey was a member of the National Association of Visual Artists ("Verband Bildender Künstler der DDR"). Her illustrations applied a figurative-realistic approach, which was deeply influenced by Soviet artists of the time. An exceptionally prolific artist, she can be seen as one of the best known and most influential illustrator of children's books in the German Democratic Republic, where generations of children, especially during the early years of their school careers, used textbooks that incorporated her illustrations. Many of her books worked through a succession of editions and some are still (2017) in print. Her work also achieved success with publishers abroad, notably in Sweden, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Jugoslavia, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Hungary, the United States of America, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, China and even West Germany, where editions were also published in Sorbian. "Der gute Held. Märchen der Völker der Sowjetunion" ("The Good Hero:  Fairy Tales from the Soviet People"), illustrated by <mask> Meyer-Rey, was celebrated (by election) as one of the German Democratic Republic's Most Beautiful Books in 1952.Publications (selection)

<mask> (, ) (born c. 1984) is an Egyptian Norwegian blogger and former law student. He was arrested by Egyptian authorities for posts on his blog that were considered to be anti-religious and insulting to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. On 22 February 2007, in his native city Alexandria, <mask> was sentenced to three years of imprisonment for insulting Islam and inciting sedition and one year for insulting the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. He was the first blogger in Egypt explicitly arrested for the content of his writing, and was released on 17 November 2010, but not before he was beaten and detained by Egyptian security forces.<ref>Arabic Network for Human Rights Information  (2010). "Prior to his Release After Spending Four Years in Prison State Security Officer Beat <mask> and Held him Illegally". ANHRI." Retrieved November 23, 2010.</ref> He thereafter moved to Bergen, Norway where he obtained political asylum and gained the Norwegian citizenship.Background
<mask> <mask>, an ex-Muslim, secular Egyptian, completed elementary and secondary school at al-Azhar University. He wished to complete a biology degree, but family pressure forced him to enroll in al-Azhar's Department of Shari'a and Legal Studies instead. In 2004, <mask> began expressing his reformist views at "Modern Discussion", as well as "Copts United" by 2005. By mid-2006, he discontinued publishing at Copts United because he accuses them of limiting his writings to only criticizing Muslims and not Copts as well. First arrest
<mask> first came to the attention of Egyptian authorities after he published a series of blog writings highly critical of the Muslim role in the deadly sectarian riots in Alexandria in 2005, the result of a

 play performed at a Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, and the violent reaction of the Muslim community over the play's 'insult to Islam'. On 26 October 2005, <mask> was arrested for the first time by Egyptian state security agency Amn al-Dawla for anti-religious posts on his blog. He was detained for twelve days, and his books and personal writings were confiscated.Expulsion from al-Azhar
Early in 2006, <mask> was expelled from al-Azhar University, Damanhour Campus, for criticizing some of the university's Islamist instructors, writing in his blog that the "professors and sheikhs at al-Azhar who ... stand against anyone who thinks freely" would "end up in the dustbin of history". He also posted writings that promoted secularism and women's rights. Amer referred to the university as "the university of terrorism" and said that the institution stifles free thought. University administrators also filed a communiqué to the Public Prosecutor Office against their former student, alleging he was "spreading rumours endangering public security" and "defaming President Mubarak". Second arrest

On 6 November 2006, <mask> was again detained by the public prosecutor's office after it questioned him about his writings on "Modern Discussion" that were considered by authorities to be of an irreligious nature, and because of al-Azhar's complaint to the Public Prosecutor Office. The Public Prosecutor told Amer that if he did not abandon his views, even though personal, he may be imprisoned.

<mask> defended himself by saying, "I don't see what I have done ... I expressed my opinion...the intention was not anything like these [charges]." Defence lawyers  argued that crimes related to the Internet were new in Egypt and that the penal code did not cover them. Prosecution lawyer Mohamed Dawoud stated, "I want him [Nabil] to get the toughest punishment ... I am on a jihad here ... If we leave the likes of him without punishment, it will be like a fire that consumes everything."The blogger's father, Nabil Sulaiman, mocked the human rights organizations which tried to release his son. He called for applying Islamic Law "allowing him to repent within three days before killing him if he will not", according to the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm''.

Human Rights Watch described <mask>'s arrest as a "chilling precedent" and called for his immediate release. The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information called <mask>'s sentencing a "gloomy day for freedom of expression in Egypt" and also urged his release. PEN America made Amer one of its "highest priority cases", arguing that he was "jailed for exercising his inalienable human right to freedom of expression".Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales discussed <mask>'s case during the WikiMania 2008 conference in Alexandria, suggesting that high-profile arrests like his could be hampering the development of the Arabic Wikipedia by making editors afraid to contribute.
