texts: <mask> was a South African politician and intellectual in the years preceding apartheid. He was thought to be one of the smartest men in the country and it was expected that he would become the Prime Minister of South Africa. He came from a well-known Afrikaner family; his uncle, also <mask> but known affectionately as "Onze <mask>" among fellow Afrikaners, was a famous figure in the Afrikaans language movement. <mask> was born in Cape Town in 1894. The middle name Frederick fell into disuse quickly after he was christened. He was known to many as "Hoffie", a diminutive form of his name that was used in cartoons of Hofmeyr published in South African newspapers. <mask> was three years old when his father <mask> died.Andries <mask> was Deborah's brother and was five years older than <mask>. <mask> had two half- sisters from his father's previous marriage. The child with whom Deborah had the strongest bond was <mask>. According to the medical wisdom of the day it was felt that <mask> would either become a genius or an idiot after he recovered from hydrocephaly at age two. He would be a genius. <mask> was educated at the South African College Schools. He was a child genius and was able to get a degree four years later.He graduated from the University of Cape Town in 1909 with a degree in classics. At the age of 15, you have first-class honours. He was awarded a scholarship to study at Oxford. He used the award a few years later when he was older. He took a second B.A. In 1910, there was an M.A. in the sciences. He was just seventeen years old at the time.<mask> volunteered in the Students' Christian Association and worked in the College magazine, as well as being active in the university's Debating Society. <mask> was commissioned to write a biography of his uncle, "Onze <mask>" <mask>, when he was just seventeen. F. W. Reitz was the former President of the Orange Free State. The project was completed within a year, the younger <mask> having written it in English and translated it into Dutch. Balliol College, Oxford was where <mask> went as a Rhodes Scholar in 1913. He became friends with John Macmurray and debated against Harold Laski at the Oxford Union. <mask> stayed on despite the First World War emptying the colleges.<mask> considered joining the YMCA as a non-combatant, which would have meant serving the South African troops that were stationed in East Africa. <mask> came first in Classical Moderations and Greats. He became a fellow of Balliol in later years. He joined the Balliol Boys' Club when he was a student at Oxford, and became a member of the Student Christian Union. When he was the Administrator of the Transvaal Province, he donated to the society a camp site which was located in Anerley, in Natal. He met the author Alan Paton at one of the camps. <mask> was appointed to teach Classics at his alma mater, the South African College, Cape Town, after returning from Oxford in 1916.He applied for and got a professorship at the South African School of Mines. Nine departments in the arts and sciences have been created by the city of Johannesburg for its own university. He and his mother lived together in the suburb of Yeoville. <mask> was in demand as a public speaker due to his achievements and became famous. He spoke about Afrikaner nationalism as opposed to British rule. The republicanists wanted Afrikaners to separate their country from the British Empire in order to have a national identity. <mask> was following in the footsteps of his famous uncle.The British annexation of the diamond fields in 1871, the annexation of the Transvaal in 1877, and the concentration camps of the Anglo-Boer War caused a divide between English and Afrikaans South Africans. It wasn't always a good compromise for either man. <mask> was more than just an intellectual. He had a lot of capacity for administration. The young professor's talents came to the fore when he was appointed to sub-committees. He took up the position of Chair of Greek at the University of Cape Town at the end of 1918. After the previous Principal died, the Council of the School of Mines decided in March 1919 to offer him the principalship of their new university.He accepted the job because he was suited for it. The university only had 301 students when the principal was given the enormous task of expanding it. The name of the South African School of Mines was changed to the University of the Witwatersrand. <mask> talked about the nature of a university at his inaugural address. South African universities have not applied themselves to the solution of the Native problem in South Africa. According to <mask>, universities should know no distinctions of class, wealth, race or creed. The Mine School's original Plein Square site was sold and the university's newer Milner Park site was developed.The young principal had less ease in earning the respect and co-operation of some staff because his administrative duties were carried out smoothly. The Senate of the university disagreed with the Council on Hofmeyr's dismissal of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine. It dragged on for more than a year and caused a deadlock in the university's administration that was only fully resolved once <mask>'s own career took him away from the university and propelled him into politics. Studies in Ancient Imperialism, an analysis of the later Roman empire, was published in 1921. The emperor Augustus was admired by Hofmeyr. Augustus, John Bright, and Onze <mask> were models for his own political views. The administrator of the Transvaal Hofmeyr was considering a career in politics.In January 1919, the acting Prime Minister was F.S. The young <mask> was trying to join the South African Party when he was approached by Malan. <mask> didn't want to. The party's leader, General <mask>, repeated the offer the following year. <mask> declined again. He wanted to be of service to his country, but he didn't want to give up for party what was meant for mankind. He became administrator of the Transvaal province.<mask> did not have to campaign in an election to get this job, the position of provincial administrator was acquired through appointment by a sitting Prime Minister, who at that time was <mask>. <mask> felt that the position of administrator did not mean loyalty to the agenda of a specific party, but an unbiased loyalty to the entire province. Due to contractual obligations, he was the principal of the University of the Witwatersand for another five months. <mask> was on the University Council after giving up the principalship. During <mask>'s five-year tenure as provincial administrator, there were attempts to oust him by members of the national caucus of the provincial council who doubted his impartiality. The man who had appointed <mask> was replaced by a new Prime Minister after the South African Party was defeated in a national election. Hofmeyr conveyed his willingness to stay on to the country's new leader, General J.B.M., who was under no obligation to resign.He did not see his job as party-political. When <mask> appointed an Englishman as Director of Education in the Transvaal, the National Party's politicians urged him to appoint an Afrikaner. The political landscape in South Africa was shaped by language policy. The National platform was to elevate Afrikaners as a political force, with the eventual desire of creating a South African republic, while the South African Party wanted to create a fusion government, which meant unifying English speaking South Africans with Afrikaners who were willing to remain loyal to the British Crown. <mask>'s uncle Onze <mask> had been active in this sphere throughout his career and had always had sympathy for the British Empire. <mask> urged the nation to come together of the two larger parties in South Africa and the formation of a great new party of all on 31 May 1928, the 18th celebration of Union Day and the first hoisting of a newly designed South African flag. He would soon enter the arena of party-politics.<mask> entered parliament in 1929 as a member of the South African Party and opposed the government of the day. He spoke out against the Immigration Quota Bill in his first speech. There is a proposal to restrict Jewish immigration into South Africa. The National Party's antisemitic policies would eventually make them sympathetic to Hitler. <mask>'s speech was not a success because he was too long-winded and academic, and even though he championed the rights of his many Jewish constituents he appeared to be fence-sitting. The South African parliament spent a lot of time dealing with the Native Problem during the 1930s. The cornerstone of what became known as apartheid was already being laid.The Riotous Assemblies Bill, the Native Service Contract Bill, the Representation of Natives Bill, the Native Trust and Land Bill, and the Native Laws Amendment Bill were all Bills that discriminated against indigenous peoples. The Asiatic Bill, the Provincial Legislative Powers Extension Bill, and the European Women's Restriction of Employment Bill were all meant to prevent the Indian business owners from having white people in their employ. As the two governments of that decade became more reactionary, <mask> spoke out against most of the discriminatory laws. The Native Laws Amendment Bill, which proposed to control the migration of black workers from rural areas into cities and towns, was a blemish on his record. His attitudes towards non-whites were at the forefront of liberal opinion. He was one of the few leaders who did not hesitate to speak out against injustice. National politicians wanted Hofmeyr to sympathize with their desire for Afrikaner supremacy.They were disappointed because <mask> was always a critic of D.F. He was the Minister of Education. <mask> attacked the Higher Education Control Bill as a curtailment of academic freedom, saying that Malan was hoping to become the Grand Inquisitor of institutions of higher. <mask> was in demand as a public speaker. He always asked for a realignment of South African politics away from the divisiveness of Afrikaners and English South Africans. He helped negotiate a coalition in 1933. There is a fusion of their two parties.He was a member of the United Party for the rest of his life. <mask> was the first patron of the Transvaal Inter- Race Cricket Board. The leader of the new party was Minister Hertzog. He had a deputy, Smuts. The two men decided to split the cabinet. <mask> was nominated for the cabinet. <mask> was awarded portfolios for Education, Interior, and Public Health.The portfolios had belonged to D.F. The Purified National Party was formed after the latter refused to be a part of Fusion. The fusion government was held together by Smuts. There was a show of capitulation towards the legislative agenda. <mask> was inflexible in his adherence to principle. <mask> stood alone to oppose destructive legislation when other cabinet members wanted to stay in government. When A.P.J. was appointed, he wore out his patience.Fourie was a minister who was "acquainted with the reasonable wants and wishes of the coloured people of South Africa". The new senator resigned from the Cabinet after <mask> protested that he had no qualifications. He left the caucus because of his opposition to the Asiatics Bill, which restricted Indians from buying land except in defined areas. There was encouragement for <mask> to form a Liberal Party. Britain declared war on Germany after Hitler invaded Poland. The United Party split over the Second World War. Britain had declared war on Germany in September 1939.South Africa was a member of the British Commonwealth at that time. South Africa was expected to throw her weight behind Britain in the new year. Governor General Sir Patrick Duncan asked Parliament to vote on the issue and after a convincing show of support for Britain, Hertzog resigned, leaving Smuts to become Prime Minister once more. <mask> accepted the offer without hesitation. He became the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Education. He was the Prime Minister during the Second World War. <mask> continued to work multiple jobs throughout his career.While acting as prime minister in Smuts's absence, he was able to handle six or seven ministerial portfolios at the same time. <mask>'s health was ruined by this work ethic. The National Party came to power with their slogan of "apartheid" six months after Death Hofmeyr died. He was buried in the Dutch Reformed Church. Thousands of people lined the streets of his funeral procession, which was two miles long. General <mask> paid tribute to <mask> on the evening before in a national radio broadcast. He said, "Here was the wonder child of South Africa, with a record with which South Africa shows no parallel, who from his youngest years beat all records, whose achievement in a comparatively brief life shows no parallel in this land, and whose star at the end was still rising."His service and the high spirit in which he sought to serve his country and his fellow-men of all races are still important to us. His message will not be forgotten because this is a better country for his service. His death was premature because of the heavy burden that Smuts had placed on him. Smuts may have helped to win the war in Europe, but at home he lost an election and the most likely candidate to continue his legacy. South Africa has lost a liberal voice in its politics. <mask> made a lot of statements about the rights of non-white people in South Africa. He received degrees from the University of Cape Town, Witwatersrand, and Oxford.The University of the Witwatersrand turned the one-time administrator's house into a museum and restaurant. His papers are housed at the University of Natal. Paton's novel Cry, the Beloved Country is dedicated to <mask>. Paton published a biography of <mask>. The suburb of Jan Hofmeyr was named after him.

He was a founding member of the Congressional US-China Economic and Security Review Commission as well as one of twelve outside experts who evaluated the CIA's China operations.The United States has had meetings with Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan and Russia. The relationship between the sedentary Ming and the nomadic Mongols who lived to the north often turned hostile was studied by <mask>. He studied the two debates over the recovery of the northwest loop of the Yellow River. The debates were the topic of his thesis. The thesis culminated in his first book, The Great Wall of China: From History to Myth, which was based on extensive documentary research to show that although multiple walls had been built at various times, the Ming Wall had given rise to the idea of the " Not a single grand project in itself was understood as an aspect of larger frontier strategy according to the book. The history and diplomacy of the early Republican (pre-Nationalist) period in China was worked on by <mask>.The papers of John Van Antwerp MacMurray, the U.S. minister to China in the 1920s, were a major source of information. MacMurray's memo of 1935, which foretold the coming of conflict between the United States and Japan, was published by Waldron in 1992. In 1995 he produced his third book, From War to Nationalism, which was based on parallel research on China and Japan. The Second Zhili-Fengtian War of 1924, which was the first book in any language, Chinese included, to analyze the conflict, disrupted the existing political and power structures of China. While opening the way for the mass, strongly leftist, and nationalist politics that becomes increasingly strong thereafter, the war brought the demise of much that had been standard in Chinese politics and international relations. While at the University of Pennsylvania, he has continued to research and teach comparative warfare and strategic analysis, as well as offering courses on Asian and Chinese history and culture.

He said that he didn't want to be a man who was trusted by another but then abandons him in disaster. I would regret not dying in the right place. When a Jin cavalry soldier tried to chase <mask> down, <mask>ng tried to scare him off, but when he persisted, he shot and killed him. He Gui told his sons, "Yesterday, but for Lord <mask>, I would not be here." Lord <mask> has great ambition and is capable in both civilian and military matters. He will have an important position in the future.You need to serve him carefully. <mask>ng's reputation became known after he gave <mask> a daughter in marriage.

When Shi was about to head to Yedu in modern Handan, he was anticipating a rebellion by the military governor of nearby Chengde Circuit. Shi asked if his advice was his. He advised Shi to leave a number of blank edicts with Shi's adoptive son, Shi Chonggui, so that when An Congjin did rebel, Shi could react quickly. Shi Jingtang agreed.

title: Ross Lipman

texts: <mask> is an American restorationist. He was the Senior Film Restorationist at the UCLA Film & Television Archive, where he restored numerous independent and avant-garde works. Lipman is a three-time winner of the National Society of Film Critics' Heritage Award. Lipman's films have been screened internationally and have been collected by museums and archives, and his essays on film history, technology, and aesthetic have been published in numerous academic books and journals. Notfilm about Samuel Beckett's film was a feature-length documentary that was produced and distributed by Milestone Films. The discovery of long-missing footage from the original production of Film prompted the creation of the documentary. The Gray Zone: A Restorationist's Travel is one of the many essays written by <mask>an on the subject of film restoration.Years of practice within the field have led to Lipman's conceptualization of restoration theory. His ideas have been controversial in acknowledging a subjectivity inherent in the process of restoration itself, a position once considered taboo from art conservativism, but gaining increasing credence in recent years as museum conservators have been confronted with the Transient nature of many post-war and contemporary artworks. Lipman is the author of several historical analytical essays, including a definitive history of John Cassavetes and his collaboration with Charles Mingus on the score for Shadows, as well as an analysis of the ground-breaking production techniques used in The Exiles. <mask>an's early works span across a variety of forms. Lipman's films often highlight unique social groups with whom he has lived, and his earlier films often explore themes of cultural decay and renewal. Lipman used still images to remember the people he encountered in London in the 1980's. His films integrate visual artwork and scholarship.The intersection of cinema history and lived experience is often the focus of <mask>'s performance essays. The Book of Paradise Has No Author was presented at the Inquiry Towards the Practice of Secular Magic, hosted by Los Angeles Film Forum and presented by the Disembodied Theater Corporation. The Tasaday tribe, a primitive tribe that had only recently encountered contemporary civilization, were the focus of the piece. The International Film Festival Rotterdam screened The Exploding Digital Inevitable in January. The essay deals with the restoration of Bruce Conner's classic short film, "Crossroads", for which several versions existed. Robert Gitt, well-known UCLA Film & Television Archive restorationist who restored or supervised the restoration of over 350 films, was a mentor to <mask> Lipman. Lipman adapted and developed methods of applying these principles to the restoration of independent and experimental film, where the primary concept is that moving image restoration is a form of interdisciplinary art practice that differs from other visual art forms in its production for mass duplication.In numerous publications, Lipman has elaborated on this concept. There are Restored Narrative Films Spring Night, Summer Night. The Connection, The Exiles, and A Woman Under the Influence are some of the films that featured Anderson Brandy in the Wilderness.

texts: <mask> is an American mathematician and the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University. His research in a variety of areas of applied mathematics, including mathematical biology and complex network theory, includes contributions to the study of synchronization in dynamical systems. The Joy of x was named after Strogatz' book of the same name. <mask> was a student at the high school. He graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. In mathematics. <mask> studied as a Marshall Scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge after completing his senior thesis, "The mathematics of supercoiled DNA: an essay in geometric biology", under the supervision of Frederick J. Almgren, Jr.He worked under Nancy Kopell. <mask> joined the faculty of the department of mathematics at MIT in 1989 after spending three years as a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard and Boston University. The National Science Foundation gave him a Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1990. He is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics and a professor of mathematics at Cornell. He was on the external faculty of the Santa Fe Institute from 2004 to 2010. Strogatz worked on a number of mathematical biology problems, including the geometry of supercoiled DNA, the topology of three-dimensional chemical waves, and the collective behavior of biological oscillators. His work focused on chaos applied to physics, engineering, and biology in the 1990s.The projects dealt with lasers, Josephson junctions, and crickets that chirp in unison. The Millennium Bridge wobbling on its opening day, as well as the dynamics of structural balance in social systems, were examined in his recent work. His 1998 Nature paper with Duncan Watts, entitled "Collective dynamics of small-world networks", is perhaps his best-known research contribution. The paper is considered to be a seminal contribution to the field of complex networks, whose applications range from graph theory and statistical physics to sociology, business, epidemiology, and neuroscience. It was the most cited article about networks between 1998 and 2008 and the sixth most cited paper in physics. As of 17 October, it was the 63rd most cited research article of all time, having been cited more than 40,000 times. Four books and a lot of newspaper articles are what Strogatz writes for the general public.Discover Magazine chose his book as a Best Book of 2003 His book, The Calculus of Friendship, was described as a genuine tearjerker and part biography, part autobiography and part off-the-beaten-path guide to calculus.

He got into the University of Bombay with the help of local intellectuals.He went to the University of Varanasi in 1931 to study Sanskrit and begin his translations of the scriptures into Lithuanian. Poka obtained a bachelor's degree in anthropology in 1933 with a thesis on the Aryans. Poka attended the University of Calcutta after graduation. He was invited to work at the Anthropological Laboratory of the Indian Museum by professor Biraja Sankar Guha. Poka and Stein went on an expedition to the Taklamakan Desert in Central Asia in 1933. Stein explored Persia in the 1930s. In 1933–36, he traveled to Southeast Asia and the Himalayas to collect data about Shina-language speaking peoples of the northwestern Himalayas.In 1935, Poka with a team of young scholars from the Indian Museum went for a three-month expedition to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands led by the Australian scholar Dr. M. E. Smith. They traveled to different parts of the archipelago to study the local aboriginal tribes. Poka and his team gathered data on the lifestyles and habits of the local inhabitants. In Bengal, Poka interacted with Calcutta's intellectual elite, university professors, and young researchers: Biraja Sankar Guha, Himangshu Kumar Bose, Achyuta Kumar Mitra, Bajra Kumar Chatterji and others. Suniti Kumar Chatterji befriended him and later began a study about the similarities between India's Vedic and the Baltic pagan rites. Chatterji's book was published as a monograph by the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in 1968. Poka had a chance to chat with Rabindranath Tagore after befriending the renowned Indian Esperantist.Poka's daughter found some of the manuscripts that had been hidden in the Soviet Union after a woman gave them to her.

The Rusha-Unkur Cave is one of the caves studied by Poka.The inventory of microliths was found in the cave. After Stalin's death in 1953, many cases of the Soviet political prisoners were re-examined by the Soviet authorities during the de-Stalinization campaign and Poka was allowed to return toLithuania in 1959. Poka was a lecturer, a correspondent of several newspapers, and the chairman of the reestablished Vilnius Esperantist Club. After being a political prisoner in the Soviet Union, he was not allowed to continue his academic activities or publish his books. Poka continued to travel. In 1960, he visited the Tigya Balka Nature Reserve in Tajikistan and later traveled to Leningrad and Moldova. He went on the last large journey at the age of 70.It was a five-week motorbike ride from Georgia to the Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus Mountains via the Georgian Military Road. Poka tried and failed to publish his archive in the last decade of his life. The eight-volume book on his journey to India from the Baltic Sea to the Bay of Bengal was published by his supporters after his death. After leaving Calcutta in 1936, Poka submitted his PhD thesis in physical anthropology under professor Biraja Sankar Guha, titled "Physical Affinities of Shina-speaking People of the Western Himalayas." In 1936, Poka's thesis was sent to the British Museum in London, and he was going to defend it there. He was unable to complete this task due to financial troubles and the outbreak of World War II. Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterji agreed to help Poka get his degree after visiting Lithuania in 1966.The University of Calcutta has granted Poka the PhD, Poka wrote in his diary. The archives of the University of Calcutta could not confirm this. The University of Calcutta was approached by theLithuanian Embassy in New Delhi with a proposal to posthumously award Poka with a PhD degree. Poka was honored with a D.Litt. The Chancellor of the University of Calcutta is the Governor of West Bengal. The President of India was present at the event. The daughter of Antanas Poka received the regalia.The University of Calcutta has a memorial board dedicated to Poka. In 2006 there were 3,756 entries in the Publications Poka's bibliography. Most of the articles are published in the press ofLithuania and other countries, as well as in international Esperanto magazines. He wrote at least 30 articles in the Indian press. TheLithuanian press published over 100 articles on India. The articles on Poka's research were published in several newspapers and magazines in Central Asia and the USSR. Esperanto raktas (A Key to Esperanto), 1929 (Kaunas), 1969 (Vilnius) and 2003 (Vilnius) are only a few of the books Poka wrote.
