Although he fell on a 3A to make it four falls over the course of the competition, his total score was high enough to earn the gold medal. <mask> also struggled with consistency at 2010 Cup of Russia, accumulating another four falls over the competition. He was first in the short program, where he landed a 4T–3T combination and fell on a 3A.In the free skating, he fell on a quad and two triples. <mask> finished second overall, 3.1 points behind Tomáš Verner. His combined placements qualified him for the Grand Prix Final. He commented on his performance: "It really bothered me. The week before Russia, I did four clean free skatings in a row in practice. I just couldn't grasp why I wasn't doing it in competition." <mask> sought advice from Olympic champion Brian Boitano, "I had to find another way to force my technique, force my mind to do it properly, even through the times where I didn't feel well.... I still don't believe in a shrink. They haven't been in our situation, on the ice standing in front of

1994 Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov once praised <mask>'s skating skills by saying, "All his skating techniques are outstanding beyond all competitors and need no further improvement." Skating Skills
<mask>'s skating skills are described as skating which is ahead of the evolution of skating that many skaters have cultivated over the years. 2016 World Champion Eric Radford once described <mask> as the "Skater's skaters", whose skating technique is seen by athletes around the world as the standard of performance. He is considered by many as the "King of Skating Skills" with his high–level skating skills, which was considered as the training fruit of Osborne Colson, his first coach. 1992 Olympic champion Viktor Petrenko also said: "You can see why <mask>'s PCS is so high by counting the number of crossovers he makes during his performance, which is a clear indication that his components are at the highest level." <mask>'s high–altitude skating skills are very famous, along with the aesthetics of his programs. <mask>'s ability to control his movements on the ice is extremely smooth, and is often described as movements on the edges of the skate blade instead of the entire blade like the way of moving on ice commonly seen in other skaters.The ability to control speed on the ice allows <mask> to accelerate and gain momentum in a short time to achieve the speed needed, so that he can perform quads in short approach, while a lot other

texts: athletes often have to slide a longer distance around the rink to gain momentum when performing quads. In terms of harmony, <mask>'s programs are also often choreographed with good connection between the jumps. Another unique feature of his skating technique is the one–foot skating technique throughout half the length of the ice rink, and the ability to perform curvilinear movements with large and complex orbits. This masterful one–foot skating technique was demonstrated at the 2011 World Figure Skating Championships in Moscow, with a step sequence performed entirely on one foot and received +2 GOE from the ISU judging panel. <mask> has a signature with his unique skating style thanks to his soft knees, deep knee bends as well as the use on the edges of the blades to achieve his ideal skating speed. Since a young age, he has been appreciated for his smooth skating technique, large ice coverage and ability to engage in acting in competition as well as the artistry of the programs. He is also known for his highly choreographed programs, his skillful edges transitions with ideal deep edges, and highly flexible and complex step sequences.<mask> is thereby considered one of the pioneers of the modern era of men's figure skating with strong programs in both technique and artistry. Since the age of 15, <mask> has received a level 4 for the step sequence. His excellent steps and transitions are considered as a textbook for ISU judges. Speaking about <mask>'s skating technique, coach Marina Zoueva once said that: "<mask> is primarily a performer, not a jumper. He lives by movement on ice, which is probably why he returned to sports. Watching him skate is happiness for a coach". Commenting

 on <mask>'s contributions to the history of figure skating in Canada and around the world, CBC's Pj Kwong wrote: "<mask> is the latest in a long line of Canadian men who have made the leap from figure skating champion to figure skating legend.The difference between the two is that champions win titles, while legends change the sport in some way." Jumping Techniques
In terms of jumping technique, <mask> is known mainly for his 6 types of triple jumps (Axel, Lutz, Flip, Salchow, Toe Loop, Loop) including the Triple Axel with 3.5 real turns, and 2 types of quadruple jumps (Toe Loop, Salchow). Since the 2010–2011 season, he has performed 4T jumps in both short program and free skates, and successfully landed a 4T in the short program and two 4T in the free program during 3 consecutive years competing at the World Championships from 2011 to 2013. He landed his first Quad Salchow at the age of 25, during the 2016–2017 season. In addition, he also set a goal to land the 4F in preparation for the 2018 Winter Olympics. In the early years of his senior career, during the 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 seasons at the 2008 Trophée Éric Bompard and 2009 Skate Canada International, <mask> once received edge calls for his 3F, but since then, he has been consistently using the right edge in Flips. In <mask>'s free skates at the 2014 Winter Olympics, his 4T–3T combination received +3 GOE from the entire judging panel, the highest GOE for a jumping combination in the men's discipline.On the other hand, <mask>'s weakness in jumping technique is often shown in the Axel jumps, mostly 3A.

In his sophomore year for the 2014 Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team, after an injury slowed his start he played outfield for the Commodores, who won the 2014 College World Series. In 65 games in his junior year for the 2015 Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team, Wiseman hit .318/.419/.566 with 66 runs (2nd in the Southeastern Conference), 39 walks (tied for 6th), 16 doubles, 4 triples (10th), 14 home runs (tied for 6th), a .567 slugging percentage (8th), and stole 12 bases in 14 attempts. Wiseman was the 14th-youngest college position player. He was named an All-American. The team again made it to the College Baseball World Series finals, but lost this time. Wiseman was hit in his neck by an 89 mph fastball while batting during a College World Series game against TCU, and was hit so hard that the impact left a red mark that even showed the outlines of the baseball's laces on his neck, but stayed in the game (telling his coach "it's the College World Series, baby.You're not taking me out of this game") and went on to hit a home run innings later. MLB Draft Guide'''s scouting report on him said: “A power/speed combination in center field, <mask> Wiseman is often compared to Johnny Damon. Wiseman has a short quick swing.... A pull hitter with some loft, he has plus bat speed and good power potential. Wiseman ... is dangerous on the base paths. Wiseman shows good actions in center field and has been improving defensively. His speed allows him to cover plenty of ground and while he lacks a cannon, his arm is accurate and playable in center. Wiseman plays all out on every play, both in the field and on the bases.He is the type of player that fans and coaches will love.”  ESPNHS in their scouting report wrote:

Charles Stoneham "<mask>" <mask> (August 31, 1921January 10, 1994) was an American front office executive in Major League Baseball. Feeney was vice president of the San Francisco Giants, president of the National League (NL), and president of the San Diego Padres during a 40-plus year career in professional baseball. He narrowly missed being elected Commissioner of Baseball in 1969. Feeney was a respected figure among writers and fellow executives. After Feeney was elected president of the National League in 1970, Red Smith described him as "a class guy, a gentleman, a delightful companion." Early life and career
<mask> was born in Orange, New Jersey to <mask> and Mary Alice (Stoneham) <mask>. It was a baseball family; Mary Alice was the daughter of Charles Stoneham, principal owner of the New York Giants from  until his death in 1936, and the sister of Horace Stoneham, who owned the Giants from 1936 through 1976 and transferred it to San Francisco in 1958.Charles Stoneham felt that every boy should want to be a baseball star, but his grandson was not athletically gifted. Feeney was a batboy for the Jersey City Giants, a farm team of the New York Giants, but that was the limit of his athletic career on the diamond. Instead, Feeney attended Dartmouth College, where he tried out to be an assistant manager of the school's baseball team as a sophomore and worked his way up to manager. The team was coached by Jeff Tesreau, a former Giants player himself, who instilled values of working toward establishing a solid basis for consistent victory as a program. After graduation from Dartmouth in 1943, Feeney served in the United States Navy until the end of World War II, about two and a half years.

 1962, the Giants and Dodgers engaged in a West Coast version of the 1951 pennant chase. The Dodgers built an early lead in the National League race, but began to fall to earth when ace left-hander Sandy Koufax was sidelined by a finger ailment. By season's end, the teams were deadlocked, at 101 wins and 61 defeats.Again, a best-of-three playoff would determine the champion, and — again — the Giants would rally in the ninth inning of Game 3 (this time from a 4–2 deficit) to beat the Dodgers. But the deciding game was played in Los Angeles, thus the winning run — forced in by a bases-loaded walk — was not a "walk-off" situation and lacked the drama of Thomson's home run. The Giants, as in '51, faced the Yankees in the 1962 World Series and lost, this time in seven games. Although San Francisco remained a first-division team, and frequent contender, during the rest of the 1960s, it did not win another pennant in the decade; in fact, the team won one division championship from 1969 through 1986 (1971), and did not appear in the World Series again until 1989. The Giants finished in second place for four successive seasons (1965–68). By 1969, the team was showing signs of age and decline. Concurrently, Feeney was being considered for prominent positions within Major League Baseball's hierarchy.After his candidacy for Commissioner of Baseball fell short, <mask> succeeded Warren Giles as National League president on December 5, 1969. President of the National League
During his 17-year (1970–86) presidency, the National League continued its dominance of the All-Star Game, losing only in 1971, 1983 and 1986 and winning 14 times, although the American League prevailed in the World Series, 9–8,

Feeney rallied NL owners to resist adoption of the designated hitter and presided over a period of stability, as the league neither expanded nor moved a franchise during his term. (Ironically, the NL team that came closest to moving was Stoneham's Giants, which were nearly sold to a Toronto consortium in 1976. The owner who saved the Giants for San Francisco in 1976, Bob Lurie, nearly moved the team to St. Petersburg, Florida in 1992.) Just before his tenure as NL president ended, he made an appearance on Jeopardy! in the revived show's second season in 1986.As he passed his 65th birthday, <mask> was succeeded as NL president by A. Bartlett Giamatti. His baseball career concluded with a 15-month tour as president of the San Diego Padres (1987–88), which ended with his resignation the day after he gave the finger to fans carrying a "SCRUB CHUB" sign on Fan Appreciation Night in San Diego on September 24, 1988. <mask> died on January 10, 1994, of a heart attack in San Francisco at the age of 72. He is interred at Skylawn Memorial Park in San Mateo, California. Survivors included his daughter Katy (1949–2017), who was a longtime senior executive for both the National League and Major League Baseball. References

<mask> is a former United States Department of Justice official. A former Associate Deputy Attorney General and former director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), as of February 2018 <mask> was working in the Justice Department's Criminal Division. He is an expert on transnational organized crime and has spent most of his career overseeing gang and racketeering-related prosecutions, including Russian organized crime. <mask> was little-known until 2018, when he became the subject of scrutiny when he was involved in the start of the Russian interference in the 2016 election probe. He was criticized by President Donald Trump, who accused <mask> of abusing his access to sensitive information. No evidence has emerged that <mask> was involved in the initiation of the Russia probe or that Ohr mishandled sensitive information. According to a comprehensive review by ABC News, Ohr "had little impact on the FBI’s growing probe into Trump and his associates."The Department of Justice Inspector General reported that <mask> had made "consequential errors in judgment" in failing to inform his supervisors about his role in the investigation. On September 30, 2020, <mask> retired from his position at DOJ "after his counsel was informed that a final decision on a disciplinary review being conducted by Department senior career officials was imminent". Education

Ohr graduated from Harvard College in 1984 with a degree in physics and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1987. Career

Ohr worked for a law firm in San Francisco before becoming a career civil servant at the U.S. Department of Justice, ultimately rising to the rank of Associate Deputy Attorney General. He was an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York from 1991 to 1999, and was head of the office's Violent Gangs Unit before

In 2006, <mask> was one of a number of U.S. government officials who made the decision to revoke the visa of Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch and Vladimir Putin ally. In 2010, <mask> moved to a new position as counsel for international relations in DOJ's Transnational organized crime and international affairs section.In 2014 he became director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). In 2014–2016, <mask> was involved in a wide–ranging clandestine effort by the U.S. government to recruit Russia's richest men close to Vladimir Putin, such as Oleg Deripaska, as informants for the U.S. government. During this time, Ohr had contacts with the former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, whom he had first met in 2007. Steele was also involved in this effort. Steele later authored the Trump–Russia dossier in 2016. The New York Times reported that this recruitment effort did not "appear to have scored any successes"; and in Deripaska's case, Deripaska is said to have even notified the Russian authorities about the American effort to recruit him. <mask> later became associate deputy attorney general, but lost that position in late 2017, although he remained director of OCDETF for a time.<mask> was later demoted by the Department of Justice amid the Senate Intelligence Committee's discovery of his meetings with Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson.

Rosenstein stated that Ohr "appeared to be serving as an 'intermediary' with Steele". The dossier was prepared under a contract to the DNC and the Clinton campaign, by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. During the 2016 election, <mask>'s wife, Nellie <mask>, a Russia specialist, worked for Fusion GPS as an independent contractor. Nellie <mask>, according to a Republican-led investigation, conducted "research and analysis" of Donald Trump for Fusion GPS.An ABC News report stated that Nellie <mask> "was not directly involved in the 'dossier' while she worked for Fusion GPS." Steele had been an official source of intelligence for the FBI in the Russian-interference probe before the election, until he was terminated as a source in November 2016 for unauthorized contacts with the media. Following the election, Steele continued to provide information to Ohr at the Justice Department, who forwarded this information to the FBI. FBI agents interviewed Ohr a dozen times regarding contacts with Steele, recording interviews in classified form "302 reports". <mask>, himself, also documented the contacts in 63 pages of unclassified notes and emails. <mask>'s contacts with Steele were mentioned in the controversial Nunes memo, written by Devin Nunes, chair of the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee, which was released in February 2018. The Nunes memo, which focused on the Justice Department's process for obtaining a FISA warrant to wiretap Trump associate Carter Page in October 2016, said that Ohr was aware of Steele's bias against Trump in September 2016.The memo alleged that Steele's reported bias against Trump was not mentioned in the FISA warrant

A competing memo by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee said that the FISA warrant made clear that the Steele dossier was paid opposition research likely intended to discredit the Trump campaign in the 2016 election and that the court was therefore not misled. Ohr documented Steele's opinions on Trump in November 2016 (several weeks after the initial FISA warrant against Page had been approved by the FISA court), saying Steele "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president." Ohr was not assigned to work in counterintelligence operations and was not known to be involved in obtaining the FISA warrant. According to BBC News, the fact that Ohr recorded Steele's opinions "somewhat [undercuts] the accusation of rampant bias within the department, given that a truly compromised individual wouldn't jot that sort of thing down." In 2018, <mask> became the subject of right-wing conspiracy theories which alleged that he played an important role in starting the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The conspiracy theories allege that the origins of the Russia probe were biased and were intended to undermine then-candidate Trump.President Trump and many Republicans have falsely claimed the Steele dossier was used to start the investigation. But in fact the July 2016 launch of the FBI investigation was triggered, not by the dossier, but by a report that Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos knew, before it became public knowledge, that the Russians possessed damaging information about Hillary Clinton in the form of "thousands" of stolen emails. This origin of the probe is confirmed in the Nunes memo itself. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has stated that as far as he knew, <mask> was not involved

The FBI did not publicly reveal the ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign during the campaign, in part so as not to hurt his electoral chances, contradicting the claim that the probe was an attempt to undermine Trump's candidacy. Trump called <mask> a "disgrace" in a tweet in August 2018 and suggested that he would revoke <mask>'s security clearance.There is no publicly available evidence that suggests <mask> mishandled sensitive information. Trump's threat to strip Ohr of his security clearance came amid threats to revoke the security clearances of a number of current and former officials who had criticized Trump or been involved in the Russia probe. According to The Washington Post, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her deputy Bill Shine discussed the best timing to announce the revocations as a way of distracting from unfavorable news cycles. Rep. Jim Jordan, a critic of the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, called for <mask>'s firing. On August 28, 2018, Ohr gave testimony in a closed hearing to two Republican-led House committees looking into decisions made by the DOJ ahead of the 2016 presidential election. See also

<mask> (1945) is an American tattoo artist born in Newport Beach, California, known for his tattoos, strong influence in the development of modern tattoo styles, and his eponymous apparel and accessories brand. Early life
<mask> was born in 1945 in Costa Mesa, California. As a preteen a young <mask> was interested in tattoos: one of his friends' fathers had army tattoos, and it intrigued him so much that he took pens and colored pencils to other neighborhood kids (in what would become a precursor to his future artistic endeavors). <mask> also credits his mother, who was a huge supporter of his work and encouraged him to follow his passions. <mask> had his first art exhibit, the Laguna Beach Art Festival, after graduating from high school. He attended the San Francisco Art Institute and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking. While there, <mask> studied under some of the most well-known art aficionados and connoisseurs: he learned drawing from Joan Brown, etching from Gordon Cook, and sculpting from Manuel Neri.He was later offered and earned a full scholarship and post graduate position at Yale’s school of arts. He declined and instead pursued other goals and aspirations, namely tattoos. Career

<mask> was mentored by several famous and prolific tattoo artists, among them Samuel Steward (also known by his nickname “Professor” Phil Sparrow). Sparrow was a former novelist, poet and academic turned tattoo artist who had made a name for himself in this very seedy underground lifestyle. This was surreal for <mask>; In his youth, he had copied the designs of the aforementioned legendary artist. Not only would <mask> learn under the watchful eyes of Steward (at the latter's Oakland California studio), under the former's tutelage

texts: the latter's career would be indelibly marked and changed. At some point, Steward showed his young ingenue a book of Japanese tattoos.<mask>, who had already been interested in Japanese history, culture and woodblock prints, had an epiphany; he described it as being struck by “lightning.”  This would become the genesis for his incorporation of eastern styles, methods and modes into his own repertoire and reserve of knowledge and skills. While Steward can be seen as one of the earliest and most prominent figures in <mask>’s life, experiences in other studios honed and sharpened his skills, allowing him to cut his teeth and earn his proverbial bones. When <mask> finished his apprenticeship with Steward, he moved all around North America, from the Bay Area to Vancouver. He worked under famed artists Zeke Owen (in Seattle) and Doc Webb (in San Diego). Eventually <mask> formed a relationship with one of the pioneers of modern tattoo culture, Sailor Jerry Collins, who would have an immense impact and outcome on his then-current and future endeavors. He met with and began a long correspondence with Sailor Jerry, which paved the way for an introduction into a world previously closed off to outsiders. Through Jerry’s connections, <mask> began an association, in 1973, with the classical tattoo master .<mask> studied and tattooed in Japan off and on through the '70s and '80s. According to <mask>, his clientele at the time included bikers and Yakuza members. <mask> soon became recognized for being the main influence and driver in incorporating Japanese tattoo aesthetics and techniques into American styles of work. One of the defining characteristics of <mask>’s work is the elevation of tattoos from flash, preset and preformed tattoos, to

 customized and personalized work. Before this, it was very common for individuals, often those in the U.S. Navy, to walk into studios/or the back of other businesses and select artwork off of a wall. <mask>’s motivations were more aesthetically simple: to focus on one's self-expression, the resulting tattoos reflecting the individual's taste and preferences. This would be collaborative, done in consultation between tattoo artists and client.For <mask> this was about customization and personalization, thus the wearer would have an emotional connection. This fine art mentality helped elevate tattoos from a subculture to pop culture, taking it from fringe culture to main culture. Legacy
In 1982, <mask> and his longtime friend Ernie Carafa, formed Hardy Marks Publications. Under this marque, they began publishing the five-book series Tattootime. <mask> Marks has gone on to publish more than 25 books about alternative art, including catalogs of <mask>'s work and that of Sailor Jerry Collins. EEE Productions (<mask>, <mask>e, and Ernie Carafa) put together the first tattoo convention on the Queen Mary, as well as organizing many other tattoo conventions and expos. In 2000, he was appointed by Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown to the city's Cultural Arts Commission.Today, <mask> is retired from tattooing. He oversees and mentors the artists at his San Francisco studio, Tattoo City. One of <mask>’s last apprentices or mentees was Mary Joy Scott, featured on Tattoo Age (a short-lived documentary by VICE Media profiling tattoo artists who have gained fame and, welcomed, notoriety within the profession at large).

The brand has subsequently been extensively licensed, at one point having 70 sublicensees, selling clothing, accessories, lighters, perfume, hair styling tools, and condoms.The most famous licensee was Christian Audigier, previously of Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard (aka Von Dutch), another noted American subculture artist. Audigier licensed the worldwide rights to the <mask> brand in 2005 through his holding company, Nervous Tattoo, and employed the marketing techniques employed by Von Dutch Originals, marketing directly to celebrity clients and by opening stores in high-profile fashion districts. <mask> stores were located in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, Minneapolis, Honolulu, Scottsdale, Tucson, Vancouver, Dubai, Johannesburg, Kuwait, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Gurgaon, Delhi, Mumbai, and Qatar. The face of the brand (from 2008) was Sarah Larson. The brand gained significant popularity under Audigier, peaking at more than $700 million in gross revenue in 2009, but collapsed quickly in the following two years, leading to the closure of many stores. Among others, the Australian sublicensee of <mask> (owned and operated by Gary Berman) entered administration and closed in 2010. <mask> blamed the collapse on creative and marketing decisions by Audigier, such as Audigier featuring his own name prominently on branded items (on one item 14 times, compared to <mask>'s once), and prominent association with short-lived reality TV celebrity Jon Gosselin.Following legal battles, <mask> regained control of the brand in 2010, though as part of the

<mask> (September 15, 1914 – March 21, 2002) was a Dutch-born American sociologist, social critic, and author. He was John M. Olin Professor of Jurisprudence and Public Policy at Fordham University. He was best known for his contributions to National Review. Life and career
<mask> was born in 1914 in The Hague to Moses “Max” Melamerson and <mask>. He changed his surname in the early 1940s. While <mask> was still young, his family moved to Italy. <mask> grew up in Italy, and following his education began a life in politics.In the late 1930s, he was a left-wing activist and communist. During this time, Italy was ruled by Benito Mussolini's fascist regime. In 1937, <mask> Haag was nearly murdered by a political assassin who shot him five times. After being shot, he spent nearly three years in prison. Nearly eighteen months of those three years were spent in solitary confinement. After release, fearing re-imprisonment, <mask> <mask> drifted between European countries in an attempt to evade Italy and Mussolini. In 1940, he made his way to Portugal and fled to the United States, arriving at Ellis Island, not knowing any English.Living in New York, <mask> Haag worked as a bus boy and sold vegetables; eventually he was able to secure admission to the University at Iowa, where a group of faculty members recognized his intellectual gifts and agreed to pay for his tuition. In 1942, <mask> <mask> graduated with an M.A in economics. The same year, <mask> Haag met the political philosopher Sidney Hook. His friendship with Hook forever changed <mask> Haag, converting him from being a left-wing activist and communist, to the opposite end of the spectrum; <mask> Haag was now a conservative. Over the years, <mask> <mask> took particular interest in the field of capital punishment and the death penalty. His book Punishing Criminals: Concerning a Very Old and Painful Question (1975) developed

 his reputation on being one of the foremost thinkers and proponents on the death penalty. <mask> Haag was considered by his colleagues to be an expert on the issue of capital punishment.<mask> <mask> died in Mendham, New Jersey. On racial segregation in public schools
He was an early critic of the social science behind the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education which found segregation in schools unconstitutional, and testified in favor of segregation. He also argued in print that continued school segregation was desirable because of the genetic intellectual inferiority of Africans. In an article in the pages of the National Review, one given pride of place on the magazine's front cover, <mask> Haag dismissed recent research debunking innate ethnic differences in intelligence, and stated that he himself believed such differences to exist and to account for "much" of the poorer academic performance of black students, and that such differences necessitated separate schooling. This article in fact caused quite a shock among the readers of the National Review, several of whom wrote angry letters against the decision to print such "bigotry." In 1966, he testified before the International Court of Justice in support of  apartheid in South Africa. On race-neutrality in U.S. immigration policy
In another article, from 1965, he criticized the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which replaced an immigration system largely excluding Asians and discriminating against southern and eastern Europeans with a race-neutral program based on skills and family connections to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, which enabled an increase in immigration from Asia.<mask> <mask> instead advocated greater rather than less immigration restriction. He also expressly defended the practice of fashioning immigration policies in favor of European ethnicity, arguing that "The wish

 to preserve... the identity of one's nation requires no justification." He likened such a practice to a harmless expression of sentiment, similar to preferring to associate with one's own family rather than strangers. "The wish not to see one's country overrun by groups one regards as alien need not be based on feelings of superiority or 'racism.'" On the death penalty
<mask> <mask>’s particular field of interest, the field he contributed the most to in terms of publications, was the death penalty. <mask> <mask> was a respected debater, and when he was not contributing to the National Review or other publications, he was active in debating the issue of the death penalty. His main argument in its defense stemmed from key themes such as deterrence, and punishment for severe criminals.<mask> <mask>’s ideology is clearly conservative; in his book Punishing Criminals, he defines the primary role of government as “securing rights and duties by specifying them through laws and enforcing the laws.” <mask> Haag believed the paramount duty of government is to “provide legal order in which citizens can be secure in their lives, their liberties, and their pursuit of happiness.” The law exists to provide legal order. <mask> Haag disputed claims that capital punishment is just a form of legal retribution by claiming that if laws are knowingly broken, legal order can only be maintained by enforcement. Justice, <mask> Haag claimed, is blindfolded, while retribution carries the weight of passion behind it; justice being delivered to someone who violates social order knowingly is equal, thus the term legal retribution is void. <mask> <mask> also argued that people commit crimes because they believe, one way or another, they will benefit from committing the crime. Thus it is society’s duty to make all crimes as disadvantageous as possible. <mask> Haag uses economic examples to further prove

texts: his point. In economics, there is a concept named opportunity cost.Opportunity cost forces an individual to weigh the benefits versus the sacrifices of making a decision. <mask> Haag believes people look at committing the crime the same way they would view an opportunity; they would weigh the profits versus the punishment. Temptation to commit a crime will be significantly decreased if the punishment for committing the crime is more severe. The death penalty offers the greatest weighted punishment for committing an offense. <mask> Haag also related Marxist theory behind his justification of the death penalty. Marxists, <mask> Haag argued, believe that “Legal justice never can do less, though it can do more.”  Legal justice should distribute punishment equally among violators and more frequently in order to deter crime. <mask> Haag also related to the Marxist belief in class warfare.<mask> <mask> states, “Obviously, the poor and powerless are more tempted to take what is not theirs, or to rebel, than the powerful and wealthy, who need not take what they already have.”  The threat of severe punishment diminishes temptation, which <mask> <mask> argued is to be the greatest use of the death penalty, deterrence. <mask> Haag also believed that law breakers have more of an inclination to do it again. Breaking the law leads to a form of moral decay when eventually offenders no longer can distinguish right from wrong, thus repeat offending is a common occurrence. His response to this was, “The only permanent, and irrevocable incapacitation is execution.”  <mask> <mask> believed that any temporary or permanent incapacitation only reduces the crime rate if there are no more compensating increases in crime by other people. However, if no strong deterrents such as the death penalty existed, an increase in crime and criminals will still be a factor. <mask> Haag believed homicide to be

 the most deplorable crime a human being can commit. <mask> <mask>, in his book The Death Penalty : A Debate, argues that “the state must teach that killing anyone deliberately, for whatever reason, is needless and wrong.”

<mask> <mask> believed that capital punishment has a direct correlation with a decrease in murders.Rehabilitation as a response to murdering criminals is not an option because, as <mask> Haag states, “no effective method to achieve it [Rehabilitation] has been found.”  If a proper method of rehabilitation can be found, it would not reduce the crime rate, because rehabilitation only works after the crime has been committed. Deterrence is the only thing that can have any effect on the actual crime rate. Overall, <mask> Haag directed his argument toward the fact that the death penalty ought only to exist to protect innocent lives. To sum up his entire argument against his opposition in one quote, <mask> Haag contends, “I’d rather execute a man convicted of having murdered others than put the lives of innocents at risk. I find it hard to understand the opposite choice.”  <mask> Haag recognized that innocent people would sometimes be executed. Literary works
Throughout his life, <mask> <mask> wrote many books and articles about society, and more specifically about capital punishment. His works include:
 The Death Penalty: A Debate, 1983 (co-authored with John P. Conrad)
 The Jewish Mystique, 1968
 Political violence and civil disobedience, 1972
 Punishing Criminals: Concerning a Very Old and Painful Question, 1975

<mask> (; 3 February 1898 – 11 May 1976) was a Finnish architect and designer. His work includes architecture, furniture, textiles and glassware, as well as sculptures and paintings. He never regarded himself as an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as "branches of the tree whose trunk is architecture." <mask>'s early career ran in parallel with the rapid economic growth and industrialization of Finland during the first half of the 20th century. Many of his clients were industrialists, among them the Ahlström-Gullichsen family. The span of his career, from the 1920s to the 1970s, is reflected in the styles of his work, ranging from Nordic Classicism of the early work, to a rational International Style Modernism during the 1930s to a more organic modernist style from the 1940s onwards. Typical for his entire career is a concern for design as a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art, in which he – together with his first wife <mask> – would design the building, and give special treatment to the interior surfaces, furniture, lamps and glassware.His furniture designs are considered Scandinavian Modern, in the sense of a concern for materials, especially wood, and simplification but also technical experimentation, which led him to receiving patents for various manufacturing processes, such as bent wood. As a designer he is celebrated as the inventor of bent plywood furniture. The Alvar Aalto Museum, designed by <mask> himself, is located in what is regarded as his home city Jyväskylä. Biography

He studied at the Jyväskylä Lyceum school, where he completed his basic education in 1916, and took drawing lessons from local artist Jonas Heiska.In 1916, he then enrolled to study architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology. His studies were interrupted by the Finnish Civil War, in which he fought. He fought on the side of the White Army and fought at the Battle of Länkipohja and the Battle of Tampere. He built his first piece of architecture while a student; a house for his parents at Alajärvi. Later, he continued his education, graduating in 1921.
