From 1962 to 1965, he served in the U.S. Army. He studied medical technology at the Medical Field Service School and worked at Brooke Army Medical Center. One of the first computer-produced publications in the United States was edited by him after he finished his military service. He obtained a master's degree in computer science from Ohio State University. He was able to combine his chemical background with programming when he moved to the research department.The Smallest Set of Smallest Rings (SSSR), a CHEMinformatics term for the minimal cycle basis of a molecule graph, was created by him. He joined IBM in 1982 as a senior programmer and worked on spell checkers and multilingual information retrieval tools. The American Chemical Society, the National Library of Medicine, and the US Department of Energy were some of the organizations he worked for after retiring from IBM. He self-published a science fiction book and wrote a paper about the Carolina Bays. Geometric analysis of the Carolina Bays was used in his research. The theory isn't widely accepted. There are many theories proposed to account for their formation.The National Science Foundation supported the research on the automatic spelling correction SPEEDCOP project. The project was to correct spelling and typing errors in a database. Each word in a dictionary has a key consisting of the first letter, followed by the vowels in order of occurrence, and the last letter in order of occurrence. The keys are sorted in order. The key of each word in the text is compared with the dictionary keys and if no exact match is found it compares with keys either side to find a probable match. The portion of the dictionary that has to be searched is reduced by the use of the key. The paper "Automatic Abstracting and Indexing" was the best paper of 1971 and was awarded by the Journal of the American Society for Information Science.The winner of the National Library of Medicine's award was in 2011.

title: James Henty

type: paraphrased

texts: <mask> was a merchant and politician in Australia. <mask> was the son of <mask>, a wealthy English land-owner. Edward and Stephen were his brothers. After assisting his father in the farming business at Church Farm, <mask> studied law and managed the family bank which had branches across the county. The King of England is thought to have given <mask> a gift of high class sheep from Church Farm. John Macarthur was one of the British colonists who exported the merinos bred at Church Farm. After an economic crisis in England in the mid-1820s, <mask> became convinced that the family should emigrate to the colonies in Australia where their wealth would allow them to receive large grants of land and put them into the first rank of society.The news that the Swan River Colony was to be established in the western part of Australia made the Hentys want to be a part of it. The Hentys quickly organised their transport to Australia after trying to get an order to select at the Swan River. <mask> and his brothers Stephen and John were chosen to oversee the Henty family's colonial project. The vessel loaded with 150 merino sheep, 5 thoroughbred horses and 33 domestic servants left England in June of 1829. <mask> was initially disappointed with the poor quality of the soil and the small land grant given to him after arriving at Fremantle. <mask> convinced Governor Stirling to give him a large grant of land to the south, inland from the Leschenault Estuary, in a region which became known as the Henty Plains. Conflict between the Aborigines and the British in the area was increasing and many of <mask>' sheep died.The Hentys obtained an additional 300 acres at Point Henty after looking for suitable pasture land near King George Sound. John had to rely on government food in order to survive after his brother <mask> put him in charge of Point Henty. After realizing that the attempts to establish themselves as graziers in the colony had failed, <mask> decided to relocate to Van Diemen's Land where he would invest the family capital into the creation of a merchant business. With this in mind, and still having considerable financial resources in hand, <mask> purchased a brigantine vessel named the Thistle and traveled to the island. <mask> settled at the centre of the island's profitable wheat market, which was also where he started investing in the local banks. The system of giving large parcels of land to the aristocracy had stopped and he had to rent a rural estate for the agistment of the Henty family livestock. Despite <mask>' problems in the Australian colonies, his father Thomas decided to emigrate from England in order to join him.The recent Swing Riots of the labouring classes allowed the decision to leave. <mask>' parents arrived in Launceston in April of 1832 with his siblings. <mask> established a merchant business with his brothers and father called the Henty Company. They had a lucrative government contract to ship goods to the Swan River Colony. On their voyages along the southern coast of Australia, Edward and Stephen saw an opportunity to set up a sheep station at the whaling outpost of Portland Bay. In 1834, Thomas sent <mask> to England to negotiate with the royal government for a grant of 20,000 acres on this uncolonised part of the southern coast of Australia. Although <mask> was unsuccessful in getting a grant of land, he was able to get an indication from Lord Aberdeen that the land in the Portland Bay region would be looked upon favorably by the British government.Edward and Stephen went to Portland Bay without waiting for the permission of the British government to establish a farm and whaling station. <mask> returned to his banking and merchant business concerns. He was appointed as a director of the Bank of Australasia in 1836 and later the managing director of the South Australian Banking Company. He was able to provide funding to increase the Henty brothers' stake in the whaling industry which resulted in them operating vessels that hunted whales from Portland to Western Australia. <mask> was a well-known and prosperous colonist by the late 1830s because of his other property and business interests. <mask> became the representative of both his and his brothers' business concerns after <mask> died. The <mask> family's property interests at Portland and to the inland of that outpost came under the focus of the colonial government in the same year.The Hentys were given orders to give up their holdings because they were found to have acquired the land without permission. <mask> and his brothers were unsuccessful in their appeal. The economic depression that hit the Australian colonies in the early 1840s took a toll on his prospects. <mask> was offered a seat in the Legislative Council but turned it down. <mask> had his companies fail and he was forced into bankruptcy to pay off his London based debts. He was left ruined after all his assets were sold. He took his wife and children with him to England in order to find new opportunities.<mask> returned to Australia in the late 19th century and settled in the new British colony of Victoria with his family. He arrived just in time for the gold rush and through his re-established James Henty and Company, he was again able to become a flourishing merchant. <mask> was one of the founding members of the South-Western Province of the Legislative Council in 1856. He was the chairman of the directors of the first Victorian railway company and did not take an important part in parliamentary work. He was a commissioner of savings banks and was involved in the business life of the city. In the 19th century, <mask> took up 90,000 acres of crown land in New South Wales at Round Hill. The Round Hill property was where <mask> died.Anne Carter, <mask>'s wife, died in 1868. <mask> succeeded his father as a commissioner of savings banks and was a member of the Legislative Assembly. He was a respected man of business and had a great interest in the Church of England. <mask> was a member of the Southern Province. The Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 1, MUP, 1966 contains references to the <mask> brothers. 19th-century Australian politicians English to colonial Australia were members of the Victorian Legislative Council.

title: Anne Warfield Rawls

texts: <mask> is an American sociologist, social theorist and ethnomethodologist. She is the Director of the Harold Garfinkel Archive and the Professor for Interaction, Work and Information at the University of Siegen, Germany. Over the past forty years, <mask> has taught courses on social theory, social interaction, ethnomethodology and systemic Racism. She wrote extensively on mile Durkheim and Harold Garfinkel, explaining their argument that equality is needed to ground practices in democratic publics. She graduated from Boston University with degrees in sociology, philosophy, and classics. She began to develop ideas about ethics in interactionist sociology while still an undergrad. She was inspired by a number of people, including the idea of a Kingdom of Ends that is grounded in Social Contract, as well as by the development of Sociology and Harold Garfinkel.The idea that self and meaning depend on a collective commitment to the ground-rules of interaction influenced her own argument that equality and reciprocity are necessary preconditions for making sense and self in society. The study of interaction orders of Race began in 1971 when <mask> went to night school at Harvard University through an extension program that was open to members of the greater Cambridge community. Taking advantage of this opportunity, <mask> was able to take courses with Martin Kilson, Harvard's first African American professor of government, who taught the history of Black politics in the US. <mask> was able to spend time with some of the students of the Institute of African Studies at Columbia University. When she was a student at Wheelock College in Boston in 1973, she was introduced to sociology and the work of Harold Garfinkel. She went to Boston University in the fall of 1974 to study with George Psathas, Jeff Coulter, and Harold Garfinkel. Harvey Sacks taught at Boston University.The philosophy department at BU had courses with Alasdair MacIntyre, Thomas A. McCarthy and Bernard Elevitch. She was able to study with Kurt Wolff and others through a cooperative program. She studied classical and medieval Latin with Emily Albu. Yearly conferences in ethnomethodology brought students and colleagues from around the world to Boston University. In 1975, Harold Garfinkel's presence at these meetings led to a collaborative relationship between the two men. In 1976, he received an MA in philosophy and a PhD in Sociology. Her thesis argues that social order is inseparable from social justice, and that a viable theory of ethics must be grounded in the requirements of interaction, which is where all social facts are.She argues that self is produced in society and that it can't serve as the foundation of social order. The primary unit of analysis should be interaction and its ground-rules. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, <mask> did a two-year NIMH Postdoctoral fellowship. She became assistant professor of sociology at Wayne State University in 1989 and was promoted to associate professor the following year. She took a professorship at the university in 2001. In 2008 she became director of the Garfinkel Archive, and since 2016 she holds an additional Research Professorship of Socio-Informatics at the University of Siegen, Germany. She is a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Urban Ethnography at Yale University.Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis Sociological Theory are areas of research. In an influential 1987 article published in Sociological Theory, <mask> builds on the idea that "Interaction order" is the sui generis site where meaning, self, and other social objects are achieved. tacit, taken for granted rules, practices, and expectations that members of society use to coordinate their actions and make sense together are interaction orders. Rules and practices are specific to settings and circumstances. Emile Durkheim's (1893/1933) argument that society consists of social facts that must be continually made through constitutive practices in interaction is one of the reasons why the work on interaction order builds on it. The interaction order of race is central to the arguments of <mask>. One of the foremost contemporary interpreters of Durkheim's Epistemology and Social Justice <mask> is her.The claims that Durkheim's thought can be separated into an early "materialist" phase were challenged in her article "Durkheim's Epistemology: The Neglected Argument" and subsequent book "Epistemology and Practice" According to a close reading of Durkheim's The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, he is able to solve the problem because he grounds it in an empirical analysis of the practices and expectations that make up society. Durkheim argues that his approach is more in line with social life than with philosophy. Durkheim shows how the categories of the understanding emerge through social processes, so that the primary unit of analysis is no longer the mind of the individual, but social interactions that produce social facts. Durkheim was able to resolve Hume's famous idea that people have a direct experience of creating social facts in interaction, of causing such facts to come into being, an experience that remains primary even as they later represent and transform it through accounts and beliefs about causality. Knowledge of social facts doesn't come through deduction. <mask> believes that social justice is central to Durkheim's work.She elaborates on Durkheim's argument that modern societies need equality in order to function. Modern societies cannot take the existence of shared symbolic meaning for granted because they are held together by broadly shared meanings and traditions. In interaction, meaning must be assembled "on the spot" in practices that are shared by two or more participants. The ground rules of an interaction order are required by the argument. It requires that all members of society have equal access to constitutive practices. When practices are not equally accessible, people cannot cooperate to create social facts, making interaction impossible and threatening the very foundations of society, which have to be'remade' by its members or it will cease to exist. The Garfinkel Archive and "Media of Cooperation" first met Garfinkel in 1975, when she was a student at Boston University.This marked the beginning of a relationship that would continue for the rest of Garfinkel's life, and which eventually led to a collaboration that produced several publications. The major developments in Garfinkel's thinking and research over the past three and a half decades are captured in Ethnomethodology's Program. "Seeing Sociologically" and "Toward a Sociological Theory of Information" were both written at the beginning of Garfinkel's career. The light they shed on Garfinkel's early career, and the theoretical framework they provide for understanding the work he would do later on, are important not only for the light they shed on Garfinkel's early career, but for the theoretical framework they provide for understanding the work Studies in Ethnomethodology was published in 1967. The Garfinkel Archive had a director in 2008. She manages all of the materials Garfinkel accumulated over the course of his career, including manuscripts, correspondence, course materials, and audio and video recordings of meetings, seminars, and lectures.The Archive is in Massachusetts. The History of Gulfport Field 1942, co-edited with Michael Lynch, is one of the recent publications from the Garfinkel Archive. The little known collaboration between Garfinkel and Parsons and the mutual influences these scholars, who are traditionally placed on opposite ends of the sociological spectrum, had on one another's work was documented in the first edition of Parsons' Primer. It shows how Garfinkel and Parsons put interaction at the center of their theories, and how this move embedded a radical critique of mainstream social theory, which tends to remain centered on individuals rather than on interactions. Garfinkel's report to the U.S. military on the training of airplane mechanics during WW- II is considered to be the first hybrid study of work. She is one of the principal investigators on a German Research Foundation-funded grant "Media of Cooperation" and has been collaborating on projects with faculty at the University of Siegen. The Collaborative Research Center consists of 14 projects and more than 60 researchers from the fields of media studies, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, German language and literature studies, computer sciences, and medicine, as well as history, education, jurisprudence, and engineering.Digital media and data practices are explored at the center of the research. The formation, history, and dissemination of digital media are understood as cooperatively produced conditions of cooperation. Scientific investigation of cooperative practices that arise in media and from which media arise is a research interest and media-science challenge. The research center aims at the development of a digital praxeology that is informed by Ethnomethodology and Garfinkel's research available in the Archive. Project area P is reexamining an ethnomethodological understanding of praxeology in order to contribute to the historicization of Science and Technology Studies as well as to the reflection of methods in Media Studies and Social Sciences. There are currently three sub-projects in collaboration with Erhard Schttpelz. The study of interaction orders of Race began in 1971.W.E.B. states that race is an interaction order phenomenon. In 2000, Du Bois published a revised version of his "Double Consciousness" thesis. She argued that a theoretical explanation needs to be offered for why and how two groups of people, both speaking the same language and apparently occupying the same geographical space, could come to differ so significantly in their communicative expectations. She argued that while race is a socially constructed phenomenon, it is very real in its consequences and that important phenomena of inequality result from the Interaction Order effects of race as a social construction. Race terms are capitalized in all of her publications to highlight their socially constructed character, a practice that will be followed here. The argument is based on the earlier papers. The University of Chicago Press published Tacit Racism in July 2020.Race in the United States has become deeply embedded in the taken-for-granted structures of day-to-day interaction, producing tacit forms of racism that go on every day. Equal access to interaction order in contemporary US society is prevented by features of interaction that developed separately because of racism and segregation. They argue that through a number of factors. Black American Interaction Order expectations are more democratic and egalitarian than White American expectations. White Americans can learn a lot from Black Americans about the importance of equality, according to <mask> and Duck. The book talks about the high cost of racism and inequality in society. The interrelated phenomena they call "Interaction Orders of Race", "Fractured Reflections" and "Submissive Civility" provide novel ways of understanding Race in everyday interactions.Black Lives Matter: Ethnomethodological and Conversation was published in the summer of 2020. There are articles on topics related to race, exclusion and category stigma in this book. There is an overview of the significance of race and racism in the development of ethnomethodology. It considers a synergy between Harold Garfinkel and W.E.B. Du Bois first mentioned twenty years ago, that Garfinkel's focus on "troubles" as clues to taken-for-granted processes of exclusion, and what they reveal about "normality" as a way of producing something very much like. Garfinkel argues that people who frequently experience trouble have a heightened awareness of social interaction that can be useful to social researchers. Du Bois, Garfinkel and Durkheim are some of the formerly excluded minority voices.The introduction summarizes Garfinkel's research on Race and racism, and his argument about how categories are both created and used to structure inequality and exclusion, and then discusses Harvey Sacks' research on how categorization works in actual interactions, and its relationship to Race and inequality.

texts: <mask> is an American former politician. He was the 126th Mayor of Tallahassee. He was first elected as a city commissioner at the age of 23. He is a member of a political party. <mask> was nominated by the Florida Democratic Party to be the governor. He defeated a field of five other candidates, including a former U.S. Representative and a former Miami Beach Mayor. He lost in the general election to a Republican.<mask> was born in Miami and raised in Florida. He is the son of a construction worker and a school bus driver. <mask> was one of the city's "persons of the year" after graduating from high school. He majored in political science at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. <mask> was the first student member of the FAMU Board of Trustees. The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation named him an "emerging leader for 2003". <mask> was a board member of the Black Youth Vote Coalition, a program of the National Coalition of Black Civic Participation in Washington, D.C.<mask> became the youngest person to be elected to the commission when he was elected in 2003 at the age of 23. <mask> was a political science student when he was elected. In 2004, he was elected to a full four-year term and was reelected in 2008 and again in 2012 with 72 percent of the vote. <mask> was the Mayor Pro Temp from November 10, 2004, to November 9, 2005. He was elected to serve as the chairperson of the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency for a year. <mask> was the lead commissioner for the Long Range Community Based Target Issue Committee. In 2005, <mask> was one of the Commissioners who voted to give themselves a new retirement benefit.The Commission repealed the policy after public outrage. A number of community enrichment projects were championed by <mask> as a city commissioner. The Digital Harmony Project is an initiative championed by Gillum with support from the City of Tallahassee, local businesses and technology partnerships. The award was given by the Public Technology Institute. For the first two years, it provided every incoming sixth and seventh- graders with a new desktop computer, free internet access, and online academic curriculum training. The school offers training courses for parents and students on computer skills. 200 computers were placed into the homes of the students.The Palmer Munroe Center is a safe haven for many area youth and operates a restorative justice program. Compared to non-restorative measures, the programs have shown significant success. The results were stressed by Gillum as one of the reasons for the center's importance. The city's development project was supported by Gillum. The park was built to protect local neighborhoods from flooding. <mask> decided to run for mayor of Tallahassee. Gillum ran against three other people.<mask> won the nonpartisan primary with 76 percent of the vote. <mask> became mayor-elect after Evin Matthews withdrew from the race. <mask> was in office for ten years. The Mayoral Fellows Program allows high-achieving graduate students to gain experience working in City government by partnering with Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and Florida State University. <mask> was sworn into office. <mask> was in favor of the Ban the Box campaign because it gave applicants a fair shot at employment and reduced recidivism. The box was dropped by the city commission on January 28.The GROW AMERICA Express Tour kicked off on February 17, 2015, when Gillum welcomed the United States secretary of transportation. Gillum wrote about the importance of long-term transportation investments for America's mid-size cities. Mayor <mask> released a survey in March of 2015 to get feedback into the city's numerous boards and encourage citizens to get involved with local government. In March 2015, Gillum participated in a conference call with other Florida mayors and United States deputy secretary of commerce, <mask>, in which Gillum stated his support for Congress to pass trade promotion legislation that would bolster international trade. On March 27, 2015, Gillum held the Mayor's Summit on Children, a large conference in which business and community leaders came together to learn about the importance of investments in quality Early Childhood Education. The speakers included Dr. Craig Ramey, research scholar of human development at Virginia Tech, who spoke about the importance of ECE to language development and the vocabulary gap that can form between those who receive quality ECE and those who do not. Gillum launched four community-led task forces as part of his Family First Agenda, which examined improved quality and affordable child care, family friendly workplaces and culture, and greater community investments in children.Gillum said that investments in early childhood education have been proven to return six dollars for every one dollar invested; this is due to lowering community costs on those children as they grow older. In May 2015, <mask> launched a 1,000 Mentors Initiative to increase youth mentoring opportunities and help youth in need. The summer jobs program employed over 100 youths throughout city government and was orchestrated by Gillum in partnership with several local and national organizations. Gillum summarized the importance of a program like the TFLA in a July Op-ed, in which he highlighted how similar summer jobs programs from around the country have been shown to reduce arrests for violent crime, reduce youth mortality rates, and increase the likelihood of college attendance. In response to an increase in shootings, <mask> and the police department worked with community organizations to implement Operation Safe Neighborhoods in 2015. The initiative called for an increase in law enforcement visibility and capacity; strengthening strategic partnerships and community programs/opportunities; and enhancing community engagement and response through the implementation of a community watch program called, Neighbors on the Block. The Longest Table, an annual initiative aiming to use the dinner table as a medium for generating meaningful conversation among people of diverse ethnic, religious, and political background, was launched in October of 2015.The project was spearheaded by Community Engagement Director Jamie Van Pelt and won a grant from the Knight Cities Challenge. <mask> apologized after the Democrat reported that his government office had used web-based software to send emails. <mask> was accused of grand theft and official malfeasance by a retired state trooper after he paid for the software with the city's money. <mask> was cleared of any wrongdoing by a grand jury. <mask> was accused of hiring a private equity investor as his treasurer during his mayoral campaign. The city gave the restaurant taxpayer money to help with the development of the park. The FBI investigated the matter and found that <mask>'s vote did not constitute a conflict of interest.Gillum accepted tickets to the Broadway musical Hamilton from <mask>, who got them through an undercover FBI agent, according to text messages uncovered by the Tampa Bay Times. The agent pretended to be a real estate developer. "These messages only confirm what we have said all along," Gillum said. We went to see Hamilton. I got my ticket from my brother. We believed that they were reserved by friends of Adam. When I got there after work, I assumed my brother paid for it, and so far as I know, that was the deal.The Florida Commission on Ethics found probable cause that <mask> violated state ethics laws when he accepted gifts during out-of-town excursions with lobbyists and vendors. A $5,000 settlement was reached on four of the five charges. <mask> was the first to declare his intention to run as a Democrat in the governor's race. <mask> won the Democratic nomination for governor in an upset victory over Gwen Graham. <mask> was the first black nominee for governor. On the evening of November 6, <mask> conceded to Ron DeSantis. Gillum withdrew his concession when the recount began and said that he would count every single vote.<mask> conceded again after a machine recount. The final tally showed that <mask> had been defeated by 36,219 votes. The campaign was marked by racial controversy, as it was accused of using the word monkey as a dog whistle when he said, "The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state." That is not going to work. It's not going to be good for Florida. During the campaign, Donald Trump claimed that <mask> was a "thief" and that he was a racial dog whistle. <mask> was subpoenaed by the FBI in May.<mask> has been described as a democratic socialist by some conservatives. PolitiFact rated the claim that <mask> had a "far left socialist platform" as false. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement should be replaced by the U.S. Department of Justice. He wants to expand Medicaid to cover 700,000 people who don't have access to health care. He is in favor of the removal of Confederate monuments. Gillum wants to raise the Florida corporate tax rate to 8.25 percent, which he said would be used for education funding. Gillum supports a minimum wage.<mask> has called for the impeachment of Donald Trump and received financial support from Tom Steyer. <mask> has warned that climate change will cause sea level rise with adverse effects for Florida. He said that he would work with other states in a state-based climate alliance if the Trump administration withdrew from the Paris Agreement. Gillum does not agree with Florida's stand-your-ground law. Gillum is in favor of restoring the voting rights of people who have completed felony convictions. "Floridians who have paid their debts deserve a second chance and they should have a voice in our state's future," Gillum said. The current rights restoration system is a relic of Jim Crow.<mask> was the former national director of the Young Elected Officials Network with People for the American Way Foundation and spearheaded a program that seeks to unite elected officials age 35 and under in a network which supports them with leadership and personal development training and public policy support. With <mask> at the helm, the program evolved into a national network that links young elected officials across the country and helps identify solutions to the challenges facing our communities and states. <mask> was the statewide Director of the "Arrive With 5" program, which encouraged young people to become active participants in the electoral process by asking them not only to pledge to vote but also to turn out other voters on or before election day.

title: Len Lye

texts: A New Zealand artist known primarily for his experimental films and kinetic sculpture, <mask> was born in 1901. His films are held in archives including the New Zealand Film Archive, British Film Institute, Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and the Pacific Film Archive at the University of California, Berkeley. The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and the Berkeley Art Museum all have sculptures by the artist. After his death, most of his work went to New Zealand, where it is currently located at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery. As a student, <mask> became convinced that motion could be part of the language of art, leading him to early (and now lost) experiments with kinetic sculpture, as well as a desire to make film. One of the first Pkeh artists to appreciate the art of Mori, Australian Aboriginal, Pacific Island and African cultures, and this influenced his work. In the early 1920s, he traveled a lot in the South Pacific.He was kicked out of New Zealand for living in an indigenous community in Australia and Samoa. He moved to London after working as a coal trimmer on a steam ship. From 1927 until 1934, he exhibited with the Seven and Five Society and became affiliated with the Footprints Studio. In 1936, he exhibited in the International surrealist exhibition and began to make experimental films. After making his first animated film, Tusalava, he began to make films for the British General Post Office. He reinvented the technique of drawing directly on film, producing his animation for the 1935 film A Colour Box, an advertisement for "cheaper parcel post", without using a camera for anything except the title cards at the beginning of the film. It was the first film to be shown to a general audience.It was made by painting vibrant abstract patterns on the film itself, and then playing a popular dance tune by Don Baretto and His Cuban Orchestra. A panel of animation experts convened in 2005 by the Annecy film festival put this film among the top ten most significant works in the history of animation. The Crown Film Unit produced wartime information films, such as Musical Poster Number One. The March of Time newsreel in New York was offered work on the basis of this work. After moving to New York in 1944, he left his wife and children in England. He used black film stock in Free Radicals. As dramatic as lightning in the night sky, the dancing pattern of flashing lines and marks was created by the result.The film was added to the national film registry in 2008. To the end of his life, he continued to experiment with the possibilities of direct film-making. He used a range of dyes, stencils, air-brushes, felt tip pens, stamps, combs and surgical instruments to create images and texture on celluloid. He used the "photogram" method to create abstract patterns in Color Cry. The film features a soundtrack by the blues singer Sonny Terry. A body of work exploring his theory of Individual Happiness Now was produced as a writer. He wrote many letters and poems.He was a friend of Dylan Thomas, Laura Riding and Robert Graves, as well as a friend of their mother. The website of the New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre contains a selection of writings by the author, which are just as surprising and experimental as his work in other media. One of his theories was that artists attempt to reproduce themselves in their works. He referred to his work as "Tangibles". The film and sculpture aspects of the "art of motion" were the subject of his essays in the book Figures of Motion. There are many of his works at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth, New Zealand. In 2006 the Water Whirler was installed on Wellington's waterfront.His "Tangibles" were shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1961. The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Zealand hosted the first exhibition of the work of <mask> in 1977. He gave his work to the foundation established by his supporters. A full-time curator is employed by the gallery to ensure the preservation and appropriate exhibition of much of the collection. Even though he was a maverick, he never fit any of the usual art historical labels. Although he did not become a household name, his work was familiar to many film-makers and kinetic sculptors, and his innovations have had an international influence. He taught at New York University for three years and was remembered for his colourful personality, amazing clothes, and highly unconventional lecturing style.In the 21st century, there has been renewed international interest in the career of the artist, with retrospectives held at the Pompidou Centre, Paris in 2000, an Australian touring exhibition organised in 2001, and at Ikon Gallery, the UK in 2009. In New Zealand, surveys have been shown at the City Gallery Wellington. An opera about his life was staged. <mask> was married twice. His first wife was Jane, who he had two children with, Bix and Yancy. Ann was married to a British journalist. He died in New York in 1980.Several items that have been given to or otherwise acquired by the Foundation have been included in the collection. The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery has a body of work by the artist. The collection at the Govett-Brewster contains viewing prints and film prints from the New Zealand Film Archive. On July 25, 2015, the Govett-Brewster and the <mask>ye collection were connected with the opening of the Centre. This is the first gallery in New Zealand dedicated to a single artist.

title: William O'Brien

texts: <mask>'Brien was an Irish nationalist, journalist, social revolutionary, politician, party leader, newspaper publisher, author and Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He was associated with the campaigns for land reform in Ireland during the late 19th and early 20th century. <mask>'Brien was the second son of James O'Brien, a solicitor's clerk, and his wife Kate, a local shopkeeper. He was descended from the Norman family of Nagles, who settled in the vicinity of Mallow giving their name to the nearby Nagle Mountains. Edmund Burke's mother's family, as well as the poet Edmund Spenser's family, were linked through his mother. The status of the Nagles was no longer there. Thirty-eight years ago, Thomas Davis was born in Mallow.The tradition of O'Brien's fellow-townsman was to advocate for the cause of Irish Independence. He acknowledged the existence of many strands of Irishness. O'Brien shared his primary education with a man who later became a political ally. He was brought up in an environment noted for its religious tolerance because he enjoyed his secondary education at the Cloyne diocesan college. Having had this experience from an early age influenced his views on tolerance in Irish national life. The O'Brien family moved to Cork City because of financial misfortune in 1868. He had to support his mother and siblings after his father died and his brother and sister were sick.He became a newspaper reporter for the Cork Daily Herald after being a prolific writer. This was the first career that attracted attention to him as a public figure. He left his private papers to Queen's College because he held a lifelong attachment to the institution. O'Brien's political ideas were shaped by the Fenian movement and the plight of the Irish tenant farmers, his older brother having participated in the rebellion of 1867. O'Brien resigned from the Fenian Brotherhood in the mid-1870s because of what he described in 'Evening Memories' as the gloom of inevitable failure and horrible punishment. His attention was drawn to the plight of the tenant farmers when he was a journalist. After touring the Galtee Mountains around Christmas 1877, he published articles about their conditions.They are the earliest example of investigative journalism in Ireland. They appeared in a pamphlet. He first showed his belief that public opinion could be influenced to pursue Irish issues through open political activity and the ballot box by using parliamentary reform and the new power of the press. It was responding to the hopes of the Irish Home Rule movement. Charles Stewart Parnell met the United Ireland Editor at a Home Rule meeting. Parnell's rise to become a leading politician of the new generation was influenced by his exceptional talents as a journalist and writer. He was the editor of the Irish National Land League's journal in the late 19th century.His association with Parnell and the Irish Parliamentary Party led to his arrest and imprisonment in Kilmainham Gaol. The Land War No Rent Manifesto was drafted during his imprisonment and was used to escalate the conflict between the Land League and the government. O'Brien was the Member of Parliament for Mallow from 1884 to 1885. He was a member of the House of Commons after the abolition of the constituency. From 1895 to 1900 and from 1904 to 1886 there were three periods of absence. In the late 19th century he was arrested and imprisoned for his support of Land League protests. In 1884, through the newspaper United Ireland, he incited a homosexual scandal.During the Plan of Campaign at the estate of Lady Kingston, O'Brien helped to organize a rent strike with John Mandeville. On 9 September, three estate tenants were shot dead and others were wounded by police at the town's courthouse where O'Brien had been brought for trial with Mandeville on charges of inciting a race war. The event was known as the Mitchelstown Massacre. Thousands of demonstrators marched in London to demand his release from prison and clashed with police at Trafalgar Square. O'Brien refused to wear prison uniform when he was in prison. Being left without clothes, a Blarney suit was smuggled in. He wore this suit in the Commons when confronting Arthur Balfour.The 'Bloody Sunday' riots in London were inspired by his imprisonment. He was sentenced in absentia for conspiracy after escaping from a courtroom. He fled to America accompanied by Dillon who was on bail, then to France where they held negotiations with Parnell over the leadership of the party. After these broke down, both returned to Folkestone and served four months in Clonmel and Galway gaols. O'Brien used the time to write an acclaimed novel, a Fenian romance with a land reform theme set in 1860: When We Were Boys, which was published in 1890. He married the sister of a poet and an economist, and the daughter of a Russian Jew, in 1890. It was a turning point in O'Brien's life.He was able to act with political independence and establish his own newspapers because of his wife's wealth. His wife gave him moral and emotional support for the rest of his life. He often retired to recuperate because of his attachment to Europe and his love for France. He tried to persuade Parnell to retire after the O'Shea divorce case, but he became disillusioned with Parnell's political leadership. He did not align himself with either the pro-Parnellite Irish National League or the anti-Parnellite Irish National Federation after Parnell's death. The Commons passed the Second Home Rule Bill after O'Brien worked hard in the negotiations. The First Home Rule Bill had beseeched parliament not to reject it.He retired from parliament in 1895 in order to be able to experience the hardship of the peasants in the West of Ireland. O'Brien believed that agitational politics combined with constitutional pressures were the best way to achieve objectives. The United Irish League was founded in January 1898 by Michael Davitt and John Dillon. It was to be a grass-roots organisation with a programme to include political reform and Home Rule. The Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 broke the power of the landlord and gave the people control of local affairs. The UIL was designed to reconcile the various parliamentary fragments existing since the Parnell split, which proved very popular, its branches sweeping over most of the country organised by its general secretary John O'Donnell, dictating to the demoralised Irish party leaders the terms for reconstruction. O'Brien's new newspaper The Irish People supported the movement.O'Brien was the most influential and powerful figure within the nationalist movement. The UIL had 1150 branches and 84,355 members. The rapid growth of his UIL as a national organisation in achieving unity through organised popular opinion was to effect a quick defensive reunion of the discredited IPP factions of the INL and the INF, largely fearing O'Brien's return to the political field. The settlement of 1900 was architected by him. The UIL was prevented from using its power in the pre-selection of candidates because most of the ineffective party candidates were re-elected in the 1900 general election. The IPP manoeuvered the UIL out of O'Brien's control within a few years. The Land Act architect intensified the UIL's demand for compulsory purchase of land.The December 1902 Land Conference was an initiative by moderate landlords led by Lord Dunraven for a settlement by conciliatory agreement between landlord and tenant after he formed an alliance with constructive unionists. O'Brien was the leader of the tenant representation. After six sittings, O'Brien had guided the official nationalist movement into endorsement of a new policy of "conference plus business". The Land Purchase (Ireland) Act 1903 was the greatest piece of social legislation Ireland had yet seen and it ended landlordism. This masterful strategy of bringing about agreement on land purchase between tenants and landlords resulted in a rush of landlords to sell and of tenants to buy. The Act was disapproved by his deputy, who opposed co-operation with landlords, and by Michael Davitt, who wanted land nationalisation. The three of them fought against O'Brien for putting Land Purchase and Conciliation before Home Rule.O'Brien appealed to Redmond to suppress their opposition. In 1903, after declaring that he was making no headway with his policy, he resigned his parliamentary seat, closed down his paper, and left the party for the next five years. It was a big blow for the party. It turned intimate friends into enemies. He was re-elected eight months later in August 1904. O'Brien failed to shock the party to its senses. O'Brien and D. D. Sheehan formed the Cork Advisory Committee to help tenants in their negotiations.The new organisational base for O'Brien's political activities was created by their collaboration. The Dillonite section of the IPP was added to by this new alliance. The UIL's new secretary was appointed after the party published regular denunciations in the Freeman's Journal. O'Brien and Sir Anthony MacDonnell, the head of the Civil Service in Dublin Castle, were anxious to do something for Ireland. MacDonnell helped the reform group draft a scheme to extend the principle of self-government. On August 31, 1904, the Reform Association released a report calling for the devolution of larger powers of local government for Ireland. The limited scheme was condemned by O'Brien's opponents, who thought it was a step in the right direction.Britain had to pay for past wrongs. After financing tenant land purchase, tenant farmers were in control of local government. Rural housing for tens of thousands of migrant farm labourers was the next bill to pay. The ILLA branches have been demanding this for a long time. There is a person named Sheehan. In 1904 O'Brien joined forces with Sheehan's ILLA organisation to address labourer's grievances and his demand for agricultural labourers' housing, who up to then were dependent on limited provision of cottages by local County Councils. O'Brien and his friends fought and won the field in Charleville and Macroom (counties Cork), Kilfinane and Dromcolliher (counties Limerick), and Castleisland (counties Kerry), following demonstrations of amazing extent addressed by O'Brien and his friends during 1904His concepts became known as the 'Macroom programme'. O'Brien grasped the importance of its principles and measures when he pressed and negotiated together with Sir Anthony MacDonnell, the Under-Secretary for Ireland, for what was subsequently carried into law. The Second Phase of the Labourers Acts began after the 1906 Labourers Housing Act, long demanded by the ILLA, was implemented. The labourer-owned cottages erected by the Local County Councils brought about a major socio- economic

texts: transformation. The abolition of landlordism itself was less wonderworking than the Labourers Acts. The foreseen Labourers Act was declared a rational principle of state Socialism by Davitt in 1904. The Act had positive long-term consequences for rural Irish society.Large scale funding for extensive state sponsored housing was provided by the Labourers Act. The programme financed and produced during the course of the next five years, the erection of over 40,000 working-class cottages, each on an acre of land, a complete'municipalisation' of commodious dwellings dotted the rural Irish countryside. O'Brien's expressed delight that this unique social housing programme unparalleled anywhere else in Europe changed the face of the Irish landscape. The Irish People's renewed publication exalts the cottage building, its editorials countermanding the IPPs' attempts to curtail the programme, fearing settled rural communities would no longer be dependent on Party and Church. The additional funding provided for a further 5,000 houses under the Birrell's Labourers (Ireland) Act 1911 allowed for the erection of most of the cottages. Most of the labourers' cottages were built by 1916, which resulted in a decline in infectious diseases. In the interest of political unity, O'Brien and other excluded MPs temporarily rejoined the Parliamentary Party when Redmond summoned a unity meeting in the Mansion House, Dublin in April 1908.After negotiations for additional funding of land purchase under an amending bill, Redmond called a further UIL National Convention for 9 February 1909 in Dublin to regulate the issues, claiming the bill over-burdened the British Treasury and the rate payers. Over 3000 people attended. When O'Brien and his followers tried to speak in favor of the bill, they were silenced because the hall was filled in advance. The convention was dubbed the 'Baton' Convention by O'Brien. The meeting was the stormiest ever held by constitutional nationalists. The bill was eventually passed into law as Birrell's Land Purchase Act, but fell short in its financial provisions. The "Baton Convention" drove O'Brien away from the party.He was of the opinion that the IPP was on a fatal radical path which would frustrate any All-Ireland Home Rule settlement. As a counter measure, he set about establishing a new League, which was to build on the success of his combined "doctrine of conciliation" with "conference plus business" achieved during the 1901 Land Conference with landlords. He firmly believed that all moderate unionists could still be won over to All-Ireland Home Rule, following his engagement with the Irish Reform Movement 1904-5 and support of the 1907 Irish Council Bill. The adoption of a conciliatory approach to the "hereditary enemy" was too sharp a deviation from traditional thinking for many nationalists. In March 1909 he inaugurated the All-for-Ireland League in Kanturk with James Gilhooly MP as Chairman. Secretary. Under the banner of the "Three Cs", for Conference, Conciliation and Consent, the AFIL's political objective was to get an All-Ireland parliament with the consent of the Protestant and Unionist community.Leading landlords and business figures supported the League. Canon Sheehan of Doneraile was a founding member of the League and wrote an editorial for the first issue of the newspaper. Ill-health striking O'Brien, he departed for Florence, Italy to recuperate, returning for the January 1910 general election in which the electorate returned eight "O'Brienite" MPs. The Irish Party was supported by the Catholic clergy. O'Brien's new political party was returned eight independent AFIL MPs in the December 1910 general election. The League's newspaper was published by O'Brien until 1916. Independents won 30% of the votes cast in the election.It was opportune for a co-operative understanding with Arthur Griffith's moderate Sinn Féin movement, having in common the objectives of attaining "moral protest" and political resistance rather than militant physical-force. Neither O'Brien nor Griffith advocated total abstentionism from the Commons. The Sinn Fen executive council regretted it wasn't possible because its constitution wouldn't allow it. O'Brien and his party continued to associate themselves with the movement after they left parliament. In June 1918, O'Brien was asked to have the writ moved for his candidacy in the by-election, which was won by Griffith with a large majority. The only viable solution to the "Irish Question" was proposed by O'Brien in an exchange of views with Asquith. Home Rule became technically assured after a new Home Rule bill was introduced in 1912 with the IPP holding the balance of power.The IPP's coercive "Ulster must follow" policy was opposed by O'Brien during the 1913–14 parliamentary debates on the Third Home Rule Bill. After the All-for-Ireland League suffered heavy defeats in the Cork City municipal elections, <mask>'Brien resigned his seat as an mp and re-stood to test local support for his policies. After the opening of parliament in February 1914, O'Brien was given the chance to make an eloquent speech, but warned he would oppose exclusion. The Irish Volunteers armed themselves to ensure the enactment of all-Ireland self-government. During the final stages of the second reading and debate on the Third Home Rule Bill in the House of Commons, which was accompanied by Asquith's guarantee that it would never be enforced without an amending bill, O'Brien said. I condemn the preparations of the Ulster Volunteers for the possibility of slaughter between Irishmen and Irishmen. The line on which you are currently travelling will never bring you anything except division and disaster.O'Brien's proposals and initiatives were opposed by the Redmond-Dillon-Devlin (IPP-UIL-AOH) hardline alliance. In the Commons on 25 May O'Brien stated that "we are ready for almost any conceivable concession to Ulster that will have the effect of unifying Ireland, but we will struggle to our last breath against a proposal which will divide her and divide her eternally, if Ireland's own representatives are He and his followers abstained from the final vote on the Government of Ireland Act 1914 because they were against it being a partition deal. The Home Rule Bill was proposed with the outbreak of World War I. The Government of Ireland Act 1914 received Royal Assent on the same day. Home Rule would be delayed for the duration of the conflict because the two controversial Bills had reached the statute books. While we are prepared to pay almost any other price for a general national settlement, there is one price which some of us, at all events, will never in.He proposed to secure for them a position of undiminished citizenship in this Empire under some projected scheme of federalism. O'Brien saw the outbreak of World War I as an opportunity to unite the Green and Orange in a common cause, declaring himself on the side of the Allied and Britain's European war effort. The first Nationalist leader to call on Irish Volunteers was O'Brien. Towards the end of August he had an interview with Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for War, and laid before him a scheme for raising an Irish Army Corps embracing all classes and creeds. Kitchener was a Protestant and was born in County Kerry. The All-for-Ireland League held a meeting in the Cork Town Hall on 2 September with an enthusiastic audience of men and women. In a speech that far exceeded Redmond's in favour of its adherence to England's cause, he said, "whether Home Rule is to have a future will depend upon the extent to which the Nationalists in combination with the Covenanters do."He stood on recruiting platforms with the other National leaders and spoke out in favor of voluntary enlistment. Changing tides O'Brien was alarmed by the increased activity of Sinn Féin in 1915 and predicted the IRB 1916 Rebellion in which Sinn Féin were not involved. The appointment of Lord Decies as Chief Press Censor for Ireland forced him to cease publication of the Cork Free Press in 1916. The press was warned to be careful. When dealing with the Cork Free Press, warnings had little effect. Frank Gallagher, the republican editor, accused the British authorities of lying about the conditions of republican prisoners in the Frongoch internment camp. O'Brien accepted the rising of the political climate in 1917 as the best way of ridding the country of IPP and AOH stagnation.Home Rule had been lost in 1913, an inflexible IPP long out of touch with reality, reflected by Britain's two failed attempts to introduce Home Rule in 1916 and 1917. After southern unionist representatives were turned down, O'Brien refused to participate in the Irish Convention. Redmond adopted O'Brien's policy of accommodating Unionist opposition both from the North and from the South. It was too late. It is likely that Ireland's fate would have been decided by evolution if he had joined O'Brien earlier. O'Brien predicted that the Convention would fail when Britain tried to link Home Rule with military service. During the anti-conscription crisis in April 1918 O'Brien and his AFIL left the House of Commons and joined Sinn Féin and other prominentaries in the mass protests in Dublin.He believed Sinn Féin had earned the right to represent nationalist interests after seeing no future for his conciliatory political concepts. He and the other members of his All-for-Ireland League party stood aside and Sinn Féin won the general elections. "We cannot subscribe to a programme of armed resistance in the field, or even of permanent withdrawal from Westminster; but to the spirit of Sinn Féin, as distinct from its abstract programme, the great mass of independent single-minded Irishmen have been," he said. O'Brien believed that partition of Ireland was too high a price to pay for partial independence. The partition of Ireland would not have happened had the Irish Council Bill been passed in 1907. After retiring from politics, he wrote and declined amon de Valera's offer to stand for Fianna Fil in the 1927 general election. He died suddenly on a visit to London with his wife at the age of 75.One of the main streets in Mallow is named after him, as is Great <mask>'Brien Street in Cork. A portrait of O'Brien hangs in University College Cork while his head-bust overlooks the town Council's Chamber Room. The task of <mask>'Brien's generation was well and bravely done, had it not been so the work we are carrying out in this generation would have been impossible. None of Parnell's lieutenants did as much as <mask>'Brien. A number of O'Brien's books are collections of his journalistic writings and political speeches. Doherty, J.E. A new Dictionary of Irish History was published in 1800.The History Ireland article features a nursery of editors, including <mask>'Brien and the

He was a member of the Conservative Party and served as Minister of Public Works and Government Services from 2006 to 2008. <mask> was a Senator and served in the Cabinet of Canada. He resigned from the Senate to run for a seat in the House of Commons in the 2008 election. As a member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, he has the right to the style The Honorable and the post-nominal designation PC for life. Margaret Delisle was a member of the Quebec Liberal Party. Prior to entering the Cabinet, <mask> was a partner at a leading Montreal law firm.Brian Mulroney was one of his colleagues. He specialized in mergers and acquisitions. He was in charge of the office in London from 1992 to 1996. He was the Managing Director and Senior Advisor at the time. In 2004, Fortier became Corporate Financing Director. Ian McDonald claimed that Fortier was making $1 million a year running the Montreal office of TD Securities two days after his appointment to Cabinet. The Vice Chairman is Fortier.In the 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election, <mask> came in last with 4% of the vote. In the 2000 federal election, <mask> placed fourth in the riding of Laval West. He co-chaired the campaign to lead the new Conservative Party. The co-chairs of the Conservative campaign were <mask> and John Reynolds. On February 6, 2006 the day the minority government took office, <mask> was appointed to the Cabinet as Minister of Public Works. He moved to the International Trade portfolio in a June 2008 cabinet shuffle. He wasn't elected to the House of Commons or the Senate at the time he was appointed.When <mask> was appointed to the Senate, he would have to step down and run for a seat in the House of Commons at the next election. On February 27, 2006 <mask> was summoned to the Senate. In 1979 former Prime Minister Joe Clark appointed Quebec Senator Jacques Flynn Minister of Justice because of his lack of representation in that province. Trudeau appointed senators to the cabinet when he failed to win a seat in the west. The Prime Ministers of the 19th century were Senators. <mask> was supposed to represent Montreal in Cabinet. Since 1988, no Montreal-area riding has elected a Conservative or any member of the party's predecessors.Right-of-centre candidates have not competed in Montreal since then. There was controversy over Fortier's appointment to Cabinet. The main charge was that <mask>'s appointment was a departure from Conservative policy. Senate appointments and unelected Cabinet ministers were strongly opposed by the Conservatives and Reform. Opponents of Fortier's appointment note that in doing so,Harper broke a promise he made during the election campaign. <mask> did not attend Question Period when he was a Senator. James Moore at Public Works and Gerald Keddy at International Trade answered questions for him.The New Democratic Party was not represented in the Senate because they did not agree with the existence of the body. The Department of Public Works was criticized by the Conservatives for being at the center of the sponsorship scandal and spending billions of dollars a year. According to <mask>, he didn't run for a seat because he didn't want to run in the election. When the election came around, it wasn't the right time for me to run because I had a great career and five young kids. That is the simple truth. "It is a fine thing for a Prime Minister elected on a platform of democratic accountability, who promised he would not appoint anyone who was not elected, either to cabinet or to the Senate, to then turn around and do both at one go," Andrew said. According to Jeffrey Simpson of The Globe and Mail, Prime Minister StephenHarper dropped or at least delayed his promise to onlyelect senators.The Toronto Star's Chantal Hébert defended the appointments of <mask> and Emerson to Cabinet, arguing that the problem is with the first-past-the-post system which allows entire parts of the country to be unrepresented in government. In the last election, the Conservatives were unable to win any seats in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, while the Liberals only won four seats in the city since 1968. Some argue that the party's inability to win seats in certain regions is their own fault. <mask> was loudly booed at the opening ceremonies of the 2006 World Outgames, an LGBT sporting event and cultural festival held in Montreal. The Conservative senator's speech was interrupted as he attempted to welcome the estimated crowd of 40,000 at the Olympic Stadium.

According to <mask>, there was a conflict of interest since Public Works was handling the building contracts that Couillard was bidding on. According to <mask>, Cote should have removed himself from the matter, which he didn't do. The resignation of the foreign minister in May 2008 was sparked by the fact that his former mistress had forgotten classified NATO documents at her Montreal home for more than a month. In the 2008 federal election, <mask> was a candidate for the riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges, fulfilling a promise he made at the time of his 2006 Senate appointment.He resigned from the Senate in order to run in the general election.
