title: Robert Howe (Continental Army officer)

texts: assumed command of the Southern Department after James Moore died.On August 20, 1777, the South Carolina Assembly protested against <mask>'s right to command soldiers within the borders of South Carolina. On October 20, 1777, he was promoted to the rank of major general, the only one from North Carolina in the Continental Army. <mask> often referred conflicts with state officials to the Continental Congress in order to resolve them. Georgia's state government insisted that the governor of that state retain command of the state's militia during military engagements. Congress sided with <mask>, who believed that the command of the militia should be given to him during such engagements. <mask> had to rely on state governments for funding because Congressional funding for military expenditures was given over to the states. <mask> did not approve of the plan developed by General Charles Lee to assault British West Florida.<mask> did not participate in the previous expedition that ended in failure. Congress directed <mask> to proceed with Georgia's militia into Florida despite <mask>'s concerns. The combined Army's progress into Florida was slow due to a lack of provisions and a lack of slaves who <mask> requested be made available to build roads and perform pioneer functions for the march southward. <mask> captured Fort Tonyn on the St. Marys River, which forms part of the border between Georgia and Florida. Georgia Governor John Houstoun refused to give up control of his militia to the Continental Army general and refused to participate in <mask>'s council. The commander of the South Carolina militia units refused to allow <mask> to command the Georgia militia units when they arrived in Georgia. The British received reinforcements after this small incursion.<mask> was forced to return to Charleston after pulling his units back north. Georgia officials were quick to cast aspersions on the Continental command, which was compounded by Congress' failure to understand <mask>'s inability to control the Georgia militia despite their prior determination of his command authority over militia units. <mask>'s squabbles with local political and militia leaders were not the only difficulties. On August 30, 1778, Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina was pistol-wrestled by <mask> over an offense he perceived to have arisen from <mask>'s resignation in 1777. The conflict between the Continental Army and state governments' desire to retain local control over their officers and soldiers was the subject of this controversy. Gadsden responded to the perceived offense by drafting and circulating a letter attacking <mask>'s intelligence and ability as a commander and questioning <mask>'s legal authority to issue orders to South Carolina Continentals. <mask> demanded satisfaction from Gadsden on August 17th.Colonel Charles Pinckney, the father of South Carolina Governor Charles Pinckney, served as <mask>'s second man. <mask> missed his shot at eight paces, but the ball grazed Gadsden's ear. <mask> refused to fire again, as demanded by Gadsden, after he fired above his own left shoulder. The participants parted ways at the end of the duel. On September 3, 1778, the South Carolinian and American Gazette published a full story about Benedict Arnold's change of mind, and in the same month, Major John André, the British officer who would later serve as a facilitation for Benedict Arnold's change of mind, died. The Continental Congress removed <mask> from command of the Southern Department after he was accused of consorting with a woman. <mask> was the commanding officer of the Southern army.<mask> prepared for an attack on the city while waiting for Lincoln's arrival with reinforcements. Governor Houstoun refused to grant <mask> more than meager militia support. The British were able to flank <mask>'s army, which was drawn up in the open for battle, by taking a path through a marshy area. <mask> had previously ordered a scout to look for any paths through the swamp, but Campbell's route was shown to the British commander by a slave. <mask>'s position was strong and defensible, but the appearance of the British in the rear caused a panic. More than 500 soldiers were killed or captured when <mask>'s militia fled immediately. <mask> received a lot of the blame for the defeat.<mask> relinquished his command to Lincoln on January 3, 1779. Georgia state officials believed that <mask> had abandoned the state to the British, as well as fellow Continental Army generals, such as William Moultrie, who criticized <mask> for even attempting to resist the British. <mask> stated during his testimony that he did not defend the path because he believed the chance of an attack was so remote. <mask> told George Walton that he was mistaken in believing a path through the swamps existed, contrary to earlier testimony from the Georgia militia officer. <mask> was ordered to join the Continental Army in the North after Lincoln's arrival in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut. <mask> was unable to perform any duties for a month because of injuries he sustained in a fall. <mask> was charged with defending from British raids in Connecticut, which were conducted by his former mentor, William Tryon.<mask>'s headquarters were in Connecticut. <mask> was ordered to assist Putnam in attacking the British at Verplanck's Point, which was located across the Hudson River. <mask> was charged with commanding the bombardment and infantry assault of that position, but was given too few field pieces, provisions, and weapons to make a serious attempt at taking the fortification. He advised Washington to call off the siege because an assault would be impossible. <mask>'s inability to take the British fortifications damaged his career and he was never given a major command again. <mask> was criticized by General William Irvine for his delay in attacking Verplanck's Point. <mask> was given the command of the left wing of Washington's army composed of Massachusetts brigades under Generals John Nixon and John Glover.While military action was rare in <mask>'s region of control, he was involved in the recruitment and cultivation of a substantial spy network which provided information about British positions on Manhattan and along the Long Island Sound. As part of his command duties, <mask> was chosen by Washington as president of the court–martial convened to determine the propriety of General Benedict Arnold's conduct while serving as the commandant of Philadelphia. Arnold was accused of conducting business with British merchants and doing private business transactions that were inappropriate given his position. The tribunal, which met at <mask>'s headquarters in Connecticut, adjourned for several months due to a threatened British attack, but came back in December and closed in January 1780. Washington ordered <mask> to move into position to attack the British in the fall of 1779 in order to coincide with a French assault on New York. Arnold was found guilty of breaching the articles of war by allowing a vessel from an enemy port into Philadelphia and was recommended to be reprimanded by Washington. On February 21, 1780, <mask> was made commandant of the Continental Army fortifications at West Point.Prior to Benedict Arnold's plan to turn over control of that stronghold to the British, he held that command. Washington gave Arnold command of the fortifications on August 3, 1780. <mask> oversaw his network of spies in the upper Hudson River valley, including double agent Joshua Hett Smith, who later played a key role in Arnold's treason and prosecution. Evidence implicating <mask> in discussions with the British was dismissed by Washington as just rumors stirred up by British General Henry Clinton. Major John André, the British officer tasked with facilitating Arnold's conspiracy, was sentenced to death by the court-martial board that convicted of espionage. <mask> helped put down the Pompton Mutiny in New Jersey, which was inspired by the earlier Pennsylvania Line Mutiny. Washington ordered <mask> to surround the camp and arrange for the court-martial and execution of the two ringleaders.Washington refused to allow <mask> to go with him to Virginia for the final campaign against the British in the fall of 1781. <mask> was required to appear before a court-martial in Philadelphia which was opened to inquire into <mask>'s actions in the defense of Savannah. The tribunal, led by Friedrich von Steuben, opened on December 7, 1781 and closed on January 23, 1782, acquitting <mask> of any wrongdoing. <mask> was ordered by the assistant Adjutant General to investigate the conduct of Alexander McDougall in the spring of 1782. The tribunal convicted him of releasing confidential details from a council of war meeting in 1776 to people who were not allowed to have such information, but he was a personal friend of <mask>. The Pennsylvania Mutiny of 1783 caused the Continental Congress to flee Philadelphia. <mask> was the second officer to sign the national charter, after von Steuben, after putting down the second Pennsylvania mutiny in 1783.<mask> returned to his North Carolina plantation, Kendal, which was upriver from the Orton Plantation, owned by <mask>'s distant relatives. <mask> was a founding member of the North Carolina Society of the Cincinnati in 1783. <mask> returned frequently to Philadelphia, New York, and other Northeastern cities in order to get back payments he claimed he was owed by Congress. He received a monetary settlement from Congress in 1755 after he was forced to mortgage his plantation. During 1785, <mask> was appointed by the Congress of the Confederation to establish treaties with several western Indian tribes, but did not actually travel with the other Commissioners to finalize the Treaty of Fort Finney. <mask> helped Benjamin Smith plan for the construction of Bald Head Light and helped former Loyalists who wanted to return to North Carolina to defend them against the judiciary of the state. He was elected to the North Carolina House of Commons in the summer of 1786.<mask> died on December 14, 1786, in Bladen County, after falling ill on his way to a meeting of the legislative body. The exact location of <mask>'s burial has not been discovered, but he was buried on property that later became Columbus County, North Carolina. He and his wife Sara were honored with a cenotaph in the Old Smithville Burying Ground. Legacy <mask> has been remembered mostly for his lack of military successes and reputation, although North Carolina historian Hugh Rankin noted in a biographical sketch that "his opportunities came at times when he did not have proper field strength to gain favorable recognition." During the 1903 session of the United States House of Representatives, Congressman John Dillard Bellamy introduced a bill to erect an equestrian statue of <mask> in order to commemorate the general's service, but it was not passed. <mask>'s service was remembered by the State of North Carolina in a historical marker. There is a marker on North Carolina Highway 133.During the height of the Benedict Arnold conspiracy, John McIntire played <mask> in the 1955 film The Scarlet Coat. Several scholars have raised questions about <mask>'s actions as the unofficial spymaster of the Hudson Valley, all of which center on evidence that suggests <mask> attempted to bargain with the British in exchange for a commission as an officer in the regular British Army. The Secretary of State for the Colonies George Germain was advised by a Loyalist merchant named Henry Kelly that <mask> could be easily tempted to join the British. After Benedict Arnold's attempted treason was exposed, a British defector and former officer in the British Army named <mask> as the officer who tried to defect. Edmund Fanning is William Tryon's secretary. <mask> used a prisoner who was frequently imprisoned-and-exchanged to communicate with the British. The Congressional Board of War and Washington didn't believe the story of Joel being a British spy, but Thomas Jefferson commissioned him to lead a militia against Loyalists in Virginia.William Smith, a New York Loyalist and the brother of <mask>'s agent and Joshua Hett Smith, noted in his diary on April 29, 1780, that his brother, Thomas Smith, had been informed that a commissary had come over to him. On September 28, 1780, William Smith told Henry Clinton that he believed "Bob" <mask> would turn on the patriots. Historians have often dismissed allegations that <mask> attempted to defect, believing them to be fabrications that were used to ingratiate himself with the government. The allegations of attempted treason are the only full-length book treatment of <mask>'s life. Washington didn't have access to the potentially corroborating evidence in William Smith's diary, so he relied on Washington's assessment of the allegations. <mask> may have tried to spread word among the British of his possible treason in order to hide his management of the vast spy network at his control. The conclusion that <mask> was attempting to defect was drawn by an American historian who studied <mask>'s career and motives.There is no evidence that proves <mask> guilty of attempted treason. Continental Army generals, Continental Army officers from North Carolina, American slave owners, and members of the North Carolina House of Representatives are

Duncan's flagship and Hotham's crew aboard the Adamant were the only two decker ships that remained loyal. With only two ships available to blockade the Dutch, Duncan and Hotham took their ships out to sea and stayed in sight of the Dutch coast for several weeks, pretending that the rest of the fleet was over the horizon.

texts: <mask> was an English singer and actor. He was the lead singer of The Move. Colin David Tooley grew up in the Hodge Hill district of the city. He formed the G-men in the late 1950s and joined the Vikings, who became one of the leading rock groups in the region. His new name was inspired by <mask>, who starred in the movie 'Vikings'. They followed in the footsteps of the Beatles and other bands by performing in clubs in 1963. In the wake of the Beatles' success, record companies were interested in signing similar guitar bands.The Vikings went with Pye Records. The Golden Orpheus Song Festival was held in Bulgaria. <mask> won the first prize in front of a large audience. He was a member of the Move, a beat supergroup drawn from top local bands. The group included three members of the Vikings, a lead guitarist with Danny King and the Mayfair Set, and a lead guitarist with the Nightriders. Three years of hits included "Night of Fear", "I Can Hear The Grass Grow", and "Flowers in the Rain". In their early years the Move had a stage act which occasionally saw <mask> taking an axe to television sets, or chainsawing a Cadillac to pieces at the Roundhouse, London, during "Fire brigade", an escapade which resulted in the Soho area being jammed with fire engines, and the group beingThe group began to fragment as a result of personal and musical differences. The Move's management pushed Wood to the forefront of the band and himself to the background by encouraging Wood to write the Move's songs and allow the Move to record songs which <mask> did not sing lead on. After "Fire brigade" and "Blackberry Way" became two of the Move's biggest hits, the management were indifferent to who sang lead, according to Wood. When the management decided that Wood would be the producer for the band's second album, <mask> pushed back, becoming a co-producer on the album and choosing many of the cover songs. Wood's desire to experiment in a more progressive and classical direction, which would lead to the foundation of the Electric Light Orchestra, was at odds with <mask>'s desire to experiment in a more MOR style. After leaving the band, <mask> went on to make several singles and record albums, some of which were written and produced by Roy Wood. "My Girl And Me" and "Way Back in the Fifties" were both written and produced by Lynsey de Paul, who co-hosted "Maybe God's Got Something Up His" with him.He turned down the chance to record "Sugar Baby Love" but it was given to the Rubettes, who went on to have a number one hit. His work on TV included singing the theme songs to the talent show New Faces, one of which was "You're a Star!" It was a small hit for him in 1973. <mask> tried to represent the UK in the Song for Europe contest in 1977. "A Little Give, A Little Take" finished in 11th place out of 12 songs. The Electric Light Orchestra's second album, ELO 2, was re-released in 2003 with bonus tracks that <mask> made as a guest vocalist. He didn't make the charts after leaving the Move, but still had a steady career in cabaret and on TV, recording versions of songs from the shows of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.Mike Oldfield's Earth Moving was released in 1989. He had a small role in a soap opera and married another member of the cast. He played the narrator in Blood Brothers between 1990 and 1996. In the course of interviewing his former colleagues from the Move, he became a host on the radio station. He ran several London marathons for charity and was a fund raiser for leukaemia research. He played the "Face" character in a parody of The A-Team on The Benny Hill Show in 1985. Spike Edney's SAS Band had a guest singer named <mask>.He joined the Hollies in 2000 and toured Europe and Australasia with them, as well as playing venues all over the United Kingdom. They recorded a new song, "How Do I Survive", in February 2003 which appeared on a 46-track compilation CD of the Hollies' greatest hits. "Blackberry Way" and "Flowers in the Rain" were included in the live version of the Hollies' songs. He was described as a fearless performer and powerhouse singer by their drummer. On July 10, 2004, <mask> played his last concert for the group at Egersund, Norway. He was admitted to the hospital for tests after that and died a few weeks later. He left a widow and a son.<mask>'s solo releases didn't stay on the catalogue for long because of poor sales.

texts: <mask><mask>, <mask> and others organized the Romanian-American Chamber of Commerce as an independent. The role that the RACC played in changing the perception of Romania was significant. Some Western leaders thought the country's first post-Communist president, Ion Iliescu, was a Communist. On October 4, 1990, the RACC held a meeting with Iliescu to introduce him to a number of US business leaders in New York.The purpose of the monthly meetings in Washington, D.C. was to introduce major Romanian political leaders to US business and political leaders. The ties between the United States and Romania were deepened by the attendance of Prime Ministers Petre Roman, Radu Vasile, Mugur Isrescu, Victor Ciorbea, and <mask>. The Libertatea Award was given to the RACC in December 1993 for their role in obtaining Most Favored Nation Trading Status for Romania.

The firm has been involved in a number of high-profile cases in recent years, such as the return of Bran Castle to the children of Princess Ileana of the Romania royal family, and representation of industrialists in pre-Communist times. As a result of his relationship with Ion Iliescu, Democratic Romania's first President, as well as its second President, Emil Constantinescu, and general public interest in Romanian relations with the United States, <mask> was frequently covered by the Romanian press. He was featured in several national publications in that period, including the Cronica Romana and Vocea Romaniei. He has remained a constant topic of media coverage in Romania since that time, including in connection with Bran Castle and representation of the Malaxa and Ausnit families in receiving restitution for properties seized during Communist times. He is often the target of attacks in the media by right-wing groups who point to his prominence as proof of their anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. <mask> has been involved in promoting US-Moldovan relations.<mask> is still the president of the MACC, which was created in 1993 as a non-profit corporation to facilitate cooperation between U.S. and Moldovan businesses.

title: Hans Haacke

texts: <mask> is an artist who lives and works in New York City. Haacke is considered a leader in Institutional Critique. <mask> was born in Cologne. He studied at the Staatliche Werkakademie in Germany. Haacke worked as a tour guide and guard for the second documenta. Stanley William Hayter was a well-known and influential English printmaker, draftsman, and painter. He studied at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia from 1962 to 1961.Haacke was a professor at the Cooper Union. He was a member of Zero during his formative years in Germany. 1957-1966 The desire to re-harmonize man and nature was one of the reasons why this group was held together. They wanted to organize the surface without using traditional devices. The work 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 Industrial materials, fire and water, light, and kinetic effects are just some of the materials they used.The influence of the Zero group and the materials they used is clear in <mask>'s early work from his paintings that allude to movement and expression to his early installations that are formally minimal and use earthly elements as materials. The installations were focused on systems and processes. There is a physical occurrence of the condensation cycle in real time. The states of water and the wind are some of the themes in the works from the 1960s. His art had a more specific focus by the end of the 1960s. Haacke's interest in real-time systems propelled him into his criticism of social and political systems. Haacke focused on the art world and the system of exchange between museums and corporations and corporate leaders in most of his work after the late 1960s.Throughout his career, Haacke has been outspoken about demystifying the relationship between museums and businesses. "What we have here is a real exchange of capital: financial capital on the part of the sponsors and symbolic capital on the part of the sponsored", he writes. Haacke has used the work of Pierre Bourdieu to underscore the idea that corporate sponsorship of art enhances the sponsoring corporations' public reputation, which is of material use to them. As an artist, Haacke wants to make this relationship clear to viewers. In 1970 <mask> proposed a work for the exhibition entitled Information to be held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in which visitors would be asked to vote on a current socio-political issue. The proposal was accepted, and Haacke prepared his installation, entitled MoMA Poll, but did not hand in the specific question until right before the opening of the show. He asked if the fact that Rockefeller has not denounced Nixon's policy was a reason to not vote for him.Visitors were asked to place their answers in a transparent box. There were more Yes ballots than No ballots at the end of the exhibition. Haacke commented on the involvements of a major donor and board member. This is an example of an institutional critique in the art world. One of his best-known works became an art historical landmark. Haacke took on the real-estate holdings of one of New York City's biggest slum landlords. The work exposed the questionable transactions of Harry Shapolsky's real-estate business between 1951 and 1971.Haacke's solo show at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which was to include this work and which made an issue of the business and personal connections of the museum's trustees, was canceled on the grounds of artistic impropriety by the museum's director six weeks before Some people assume that he was a Trustee, but he was not. Edward Fry was fired for his support of the work. Haacke moved his work to Europe and his native country after the cancellation of his exhibition caused trouble at the museum. His solo exhibition at the New Museum of Contemporary Art was titled "<mask>e: Unfinished Business". Haacke created a sociological study at the John Weber gallery in New York in 1972, collecting data from gallery visitors. The visitors were asked to fill out a questionnaire with 20 questions, ranging from their personal demographic background information to opinions on social and political issues.The results of the questionnaires were translated into pie charts and bar graphs that were presented in the gallery at a later date. They found that most visitors were related to the professions of art, art teaching, and museology and were politically liberal. The Wallraf–Richartz Museum in Cologne rejected Haacke's proposal for an exhibition in 1974. The history of the ownership of the painting Bunch of Asparagus in the museum's collection was described in the work, as well as how the Third Reich activities of its donor were revealed. There was a color reproduction of the work in the Paul Menz Gallery in Cologne. The small version of Seurat's Models (Les Poseuses) was created by Haacke in 1975, exposing the history of ownership. As it passed from one patron to another, this work showed an increase in the value of the work.In 1975, he created On Social Grease. The work, which takes its title from a speech by a corporate head of one of the world's major oil companies, is made up of carefully fractured plaques with quotes from business executives and important art world figures. The system of exchange between museums and businesses is important to the arts in business practices. A Breed Apart, a new work by Haacke, was included in a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, England, in 1978. The paintings that reproduced and altered print ads for Mobil, Allied Chemical, and Tiffany & Co. were 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 888-666-1846 In 1982, at the documenta 7 exhibition, Haacke exhibited oil portraits of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in 19th-century style, facing on the opposite wall a gigantic photograph of the demonstration against nuclear arms held earlier that year. The clear implication, supported by Haacke's remarks, was that these two figures were attempting to roll back their nations' policies of the 19th century.He exhibited a portrait of Margaret Thatcher at the Tate Gallery in London in 1988 and it was full of references to Maurice and Charles Saatchi. The Saatchis were well known not only as art collectors on an aggressive scale, but also as the managers of Thatcher's successful, fear-based political campaigns as well as that of the South African premier. Picasso's Man with a Hat was turned into a cigarette advertisement by Haacke's 1990 painting Cowboy with Cigarette. The exhibition about Cubism at the Museum of Modern Art was sponsored by the Phillip Morris company. The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York is one of the places where Haacke has had solo exhibitions. The Golden Lion for the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale was shared by Haacke and June Paik. The pavilion's roots in the politics of Nazi Germany were mentioned in Haacke's installation.Haacke ripped up the floor of the German pavilion. The word "Germania", Hitler's name for Nazi Berlin, was written on the wall behind the doors of the pavilion in 1993. At the 2000 Whitney Biennial, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Haacke presented a piece that is a direct reaction to art censorship. There were six anti-art quotes from US political figures on each side of the American flags. The Gothic style script was favored by Hitler's Third Reich. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression. There were a dozen garbage cans lined up against the wall.The focus of the work is freedom of expression. In 2000, the permanent installation DER BEVLKERUNG (To the Population) was inaugurated in the Reichstag, the German Parliament building in Berlin, and in 2006 a public commission was completed in the center of the city. Haacke's work will be part of the annual Fourth Plinth commission in 2015. His winning commission of a bronze sculpture of a horse's skeleton, titled Gift Horse, comes with an electronic ribbon tied to its front leg that displays a live ticker of prices on the London Stock Exchange. Haacke uses a version of the Artists Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement from 1971 by Siegelaub and Projansky in order to control the dissemination, display and ownership of his art works. It is uncomfortable for me to be a politicized artist, the work of an artist with such a label is in danger of being understood onedimensionally without exception. Haacke's political growth is linked to exposure to a time of political unrest in the US during the Vietnam War.The boycott of the So Paulo Bienal in Brazil in 1969 was a catalyst for the artist's work to take a political direction. The work of Haacke and his friends and colleagues are included in two books by the artist. The book Framing and Being Framed was published by <mask>e. The transcript of a conversation between Haacke and Bourdieu was published in 1995.

title: Carl E. Duckett

texts: The Central Intelligence Agency's science and technology operations were founded by <mask>. <mask> was born and raised in an unincorporated community in North Carolina. He graduated from high school in Buncombe County in 1940. He wanted his son to start a career at the mill because his father was a construction worker there. <mask> wanted to work in radio broadcasting, so he left Swannanoa to look for work in this field. Duckett had a good speaking voice, some musical talent, and a very persuasive nature, which helped him find a job at a small station in Virginia. He married Nannie Jane Law in 1941 and started a family.To prepare for a better job, he attended part-time for six months a course in radio electronics at the nearby Danville Technical Institute. <mask> was employed by Westinghouse Electric in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1943. He was assigned to work on Army radars for anti-aircraft fire control. He attended courses in radio engineering under the Government-sponsored Engineering, Science, and Management War Training program. He stayed as a field engineer during the Normandy invasion after being part of a team sent to England to advise on the use of radar equipment. <mask> was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in the Signal Corps. He advanced from Private to Master Sergeant with assignments that included the Radiation Laboratory at MIT and the Pacific Theater of Operations.He was involved in the first launch in the U.S. of a captured German V-2 rocket and gained knowledge of the equipment used in this testing. <mask> returned to radio broadcasting after his discharge from the Army. He received a First-Class Commercial Radiotelephone License from the Federal Communications Commission and joined in establishing WBOB in Galax, Virginia. He was both the chief engineer and the station manager after the station went on the air. He was one of the founding members of a Virginia-wide association of news broadcasters and represented Virginia radio stations in a meeting with the president. He promoted a group that made hit records and 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 When Duckett was discharged from the Army at the end of World War II, he remained in the Reserves.He received a direct commission as a Second Lieutenant after he was called back to active duty in October of 1950. He was assigned to White Sands again after completing the signal officer's school. His progressive duties included Commander of a remotely located radar station, Chief of the Radar Instrumentation Division, and Project Manager of the first test-range microwave communication system. He was promoted to First Lieutenant and then reverted to Retired Reserves in June of 1953. He was promoted to Captain in the Reserves three years later. <mask> was a civil-service employee when he left the Army. He progressed from General Schedule (GS) Grade 12 to Grade 15 in positions that included deputy assistant for engineering, chief plans and programs office, and scientific advisor to the signal officer.The team of German scientists and engineers under Wernher von Braun were brought to the U.S. and tested their missiles in Texas. They continued to use the ranges after being moved to Redstone in 1950. While in the Army and in civil service positions, <mask> worked closely with the team at Peenemnde Army Research Center, and became familiar with the newer American derivative systems that were originally developed in Germany. The development of the Redstone Rocket and the opening of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) helped evolve the activities at Redstone. Jupiter was the Army's first medium-range missile. <mask> joined the Guidance and Control Laboratory as a telemetry specialist and served as a scientific advisor to the Commanding Officer. In the mid-1950s, the National Security Agency set up a listening station near the coastal town of Sinop, Turkey, which was across the Black Sea from the Kapustin Yar range where the Soviets were testing medium-range missiles.The Central Intelligence Agency opened a listening station in northeast Iran in 1957 after learning that the Soviet Union was testing an intercontinental missile at their Tyuratam range. Tapes were made of signals obtained by the listening post, and an ad hoc activity called Jam Session was started by the CIA for their interpretation; <mask> was a Jam Session participant. The Russians were using the same frequencies and formats that the Germans used during World War II. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite. The signals from the launch at Tyuratam and Sputnik were analyzed by the Air Force and the CIA. <mask> was asked to be a leader in the effort. It took 18 months to calibrate the signals and understand how they related to the launch vehicle characteristics.For the next two decades, this provided the U.S a major window into the operation of Soviet missiles. The Army Ordnance Missile Command was formed after the absorption of the ABMA. The Signals Intelligence Group was established as a separate unit. The Department of Defense formed the Defense Intelligence Agency in 1961. In December, the Missile Intelligence Office (MIO) was made an official organization on the AOMC Commanding General's Staff, and <mask> was named Chief of the MIO. The analysis of public and secret photographs of Soviet missiles and their launch sites was one of the most significant activities of the MIO. Sometimes models of the pictured missiles were built and tested in the AOMC wind tunnels for determining their aerodynamic characteristics.In the mid-sixties, the CIA began flying U-2 aircraft over the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the People's Republic of China. These cameras were used to identify missiles being manufactured and on the launch sites. The program name for a series of satellites was initiated in 1959 by the CIA. The film was caught in the air by aircraft after being ejected in a capsule with a parachute. Keyhole 1 was the first successful mission. More photos were taken of the Soviet Union than any of the prior U-2 overflights combined. In August 1962, the AOMC became the Army Missile Command (AMC) and the MIO became the Missile Intelligence Directorate (MID), with <mask> as the Director.<mask> was one of the participants in the photo interpretation. <mask> was a member of the Committee on Overhead Reconnaissance which was formed by the CIA. Cuba was selected as an image target as the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union intensified. The Cuban Missile Crisis began when CORONA imagery showed missile launch sites being built across the island. On October 14, U-2 aircraft flew over the suspected areas in order to obtain clearer images. The PGIC Interpretation Center was responsible for interpreting the data. A team of image interpreters from the MID assembled at the PGIC and quickly released its top secret report identifying the sites as those for Soviet R-12 Dvina and Soviet R-14 Chusovaya medium-range missiles.Nikita Khrushchev agreed to dismantle the missiles and return them to the USSR after President John F. Kennedy imposed a military blockade of Cuba. President Harry S. Truman directed the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947. The Director of Central Intelligence would report to the President. It was not widely accepted that the CIA produced scientific intelligence. The Cuban Missile Crisis showed the importance of science and technology in intelligence. The deputy director of science and technology (DDS&T) was formed in August 1963, with Albert D. Wheelon as the leader, after a number of technical operations in the CIA were consolidated. The Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center was formed in November.Having worked with him on Jam Session and TABAC, Wheelon was well aware of <mask>'s capabilities, and persuaded him to leave the MID in Huntsville and head the FMSAC. The Soviet accomplishments included the first spacewalk and the Luna soft landing on the moon. Third-generation ICBMs, as well as submarine-launched intermediate-range missiles, that could easily reach U.S. territory, were of greater concern. <mask> and the FMSAC analyzed radar, optical, and photographic information. The electronic intelligence receiving station in Iran continued to be used for collection. Soviet radar signals bounced off the Moon and a dish antenna was used to monitor them. The U-2 spy plane was used to monitor Chinese missile and nuclear programs, as well as collecting high-altitude gas samples from nuclear facility emissions.The missions used the KH-4A and KH-4B satellites. Each mission was able to cover 18 million square miles thanks to the resolutions of about and. The activities of <mask> were of great value to the CIA, but they mainly involved analyses of existing events. The basic science and technology used in collecting information and predicting future actions of adversaries need more capability according to some of the Agency's strategic consultants. Increasing the size and capabilities of the Wheelon organization would be involved. <mask> replaced Wheelon as leader of the DS&T in 1966. The position of deputy director of the CIA was taken over by this.While Wheelon had a PhD in physics from MIT and had previously been a senior scientist at TRW, <mask> had no formal higher education and had only non-government experience. He was accepted as a leader by scientists and engineers, he was an excellent briefer, and he was considered by many to be the Agency's best "marketeers" in selling CIA programs to Congress. Henry Kissinger referred to him as "Professor" because of his ability to explain technical matters in understandable terms. <mask> served the Nation for ten years. Offices reporting directly to Duckett included Computer Services, Electronic Intelligence, Scientfifc Intelligence, Special Activities, Special Projects, and Research and Development. The Office of Weapons Intelligence and the Office of Technical Services were formed in 1973. The Office of Development and Engineering was created to serve the entire CIA.The National Photographic Interpretation Center was placed under the DS&T. Research and development technologies were moved into operations by the new OTS. Devices such as guns camouflaged as pens and cigarettes, covert listening, recording, and transitting devices, special envelopes and other holders of microfilm for dead-drop use, and materials for destroying equipment and incapacitating vehicles were included. <mask> was interested in many of the projects. <mask>'s DS&T was a complete intelligence service, it established requirements, developed and operated collection systems, and analyzed the data. <mask> served on the Executive Management Committee for three years with the CIA. He was the Number Three executive of the Agency, with broad management and fiscal responsibilities for all CIA programs and activities.<mask> was the Director of Program B of the NRO. Problems in space-reconnaissance management within the Air Force caused the Department of Defense to establish the NRO. The New York Times revealed the existence of the NRO in 1985. <mask> held both the NRO position and the CIA position at the same time. After 13 years in senior positions, <mask> retired from the CIA. His request for retirement was officially cited for health reasons, but he said that the new DCI, George

texts: H. W. Bush, wouldn't promote him to deputy DCI. He had a problem with alcoholism and had been disappointed in not being promoted to either of the top two positions.During <mask>'s time as Director of the DS&T, overhead intelligence gathering was a major activity. In flights over China from Taiwan, the U-2 spy planes were still active. The test site for China's first nuclear fusion bomb was photographed just days before it exploded. The equipment was continually improved. A flight carrying a load of 3,000 pounds could take seven or more hours to complete. The results of the Arab-Israeli conflict were surveyed by the last U-2 flights. The A-12 Oxcart was developed by the CIA before the 1960 U-2 incident in which a plane was shot down over Russia.The A-12 became operational in May 1967, with greater "sprint" speed (Mach 3.1), reduced radar cross-section, and capable of higher altitude. The Pueblo Crisis with North Korea was supported by flights early in the next year. The R-12 was developed for the Air Force. With operational characteristics similar to the A-12, the SR-71 had an advantage in other areas. The standard high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft until 1998 was the SR-71, which was adopted by the CIA in 1968. A new satellite system was put into development. Each satellite had a 30,000-pound cylinder long and in diameter, carrying four reentry capsule.Two cameras with a resolution of two feet were capable of independent operation. Each HEXAGON carried SIGNIT electronics, as well asrelaying messages sent by cover agents. The first HEXAGON satellite was launched in 1971. The Big Bird was one of <mask>'s most important accomplishments. A detailed examination of real-time reconnaissance technologies began in 1969 because of the time lag involved in overhead-photography and the advances being made in electro-optical devices. <mask> tasked Dirks, one of his most capable researchers, with assessing the present and projected technologies, and with Land, the inventor of the Polaroid Instant Camera, to prepare a plan for the replacement of CORONA. After personally hearing arguments from both sides, President Richard Nixon approved <mask>'s approach.After the approval of the President, the KH-11 KENNEN Program began with Perkin-<mask> grinding the very important collecting mirror as the prime contractor. The CIA's most secret system was the KH-11, which had a charge-coupled device and collecting mirror. A ground station at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, received real-time signals from a relay satellite. The first KENNAN launch took place in 1976, shortly after Dirks replaced <mask> as the DS&T Director. <mask> had an interest in the CIA's activities in electronic intelligence. Information gained through electronic intelligence was very important to <mask>. The CIA had a receiving station in Iran to intercept signals from the Tyuratam test range.At their peak, the two stations operated by the DS&T in the high mountains of northeastern Iran and nearer to Tyuratam provided the bulk of information on Soviet ICBM development. The CIA funded espionage operations in Norway, both at a ground station in the far northeast near Kirkenes and on a converted whaling boat in the Barents Sea. The reception of radar signals is limited to line-of- sight. The signals can be "bounced" along a path between the ionosphere and ground by operating in the high-frequency band. The Earthling radar facility was set up in Pakistan to track launches from the Tyuratam test range. The facility was closed by Pakistan in 1965, and 80% of the missile launches had been detected. The Soviets conducted nuclear tests at high altitudes.The CHECKROTE radar was opened on Taiwan in 1966 to monitor missile launches from the Shuangchengzi test range in China. In 1969 CHECKROTE was upgraded to a highly successful project. In the 1960's and 70's, the characteristics of Soviet radars were an important intelligence item. Special missions were flown to gather this information. The CIA set up a facility for the collection of Soviet radars reflected by the moon in 1966. After becoming the Director of the DS&T, Wheelon proposed using a satellite to relay signals from Soviet test sites to the CIA. The signals cannot be directly received beyond the horizon because they are not reflected by the ionosphere.The development of such a monitoring system began at the beginning of 1966. The DS&T was taken over by <mask> in a few months. There is a receiving/control site near Alice Springs that is safe from interference by Soviet spy ships. The first RHYOLITE satellite was launched in June 1969 by an Atlas-Agena D rocket. The primary mission was to monitor Soviet missile tests, but it was also capable of intercepting VHF and UHF communications, which was useful in the Vietnam War. In March 1969 newly elected President Richard Nixon announced to the public that he was authorizing the implementation of an anti-ballistic missile system, called Safeguard, to counter a potentially devastating Soviet threat. At that time, there was a balance between the United States and the Soviet Union based on Mutual Assured Destruction; this assumed that a first strike could not eliminate the capability for retaliation.Some studies showed that Soviet ICBMs carrying multiple nuclear warheads could destroy a large part of the U.S. In the fall of 1968, tests of the ss9 mod 4 ICBMs were monitored and three of them were removed, each supposedly capable of carrying up to five megaton-size nuclear bombs. The difference in threat between MIRVs and simply three warheads reentering in a row would have a major impact on the U.S. defense. It was important for Congress to make a decision on President Nixon's authorization for Safeguard. <mask> prepared a paper presenting both sides of the technical debate after he concluded that the Soviets did not have MIRV capability. On July 17, 1969 <mask>'s paper was read to the Senate. Vice President Spiro Agnew broke an even split in Congress by favoring the program in the final vote.There were enough leaks to allow the news media to call attention to the role of the CIA in such matters. In March 1968, a Soviet Golf class submarine sank in the ocean northwest of Hawaii after it exploded while on the surface. The Soviet Fleet immediately started a major effort to locate the sub, but gave up in a few weeks. The Office of Naval Intelligence arranged for a spy submarine to look for the missing sub. During the summer of 1968, long cables lowered lights and cameras, and in August the sub was broken into several large pieces. There were three missile launch tubes in the forward section. There was a lot of interest in trying to recover items such as cipher machines, code manuals, communications equipment, and even a nuclear warhead.The Navy and the CIA started working on a plan. The Navy wanted to cut into the sub's hull to recover items. The Navy presented its plan in a meeting. When <mask> and the CIA team recommended a huge effort to recover an entire section, they were staggered. President Richard Nixon approved <mask>'s proposal after an intense debate. Howard Hughes agreed for his firm, Summa Corporation, to build a long ship. The Hughes Marine Barge-1 was hidden from overhead observation and carried below the ship.The section of the Golf sub that was intact on the ocean floor would be lifted into an opening on the bottom of the ship by eight giant claws. Project AZORIAN was publicly justified as a means of rescue and recovery of future U.S. vessels. The raising attempt began in July 1974. The entire section was shattered when one of the claws broke after the section was lifted. Most of the original sub fell back to the ocean floor. The items most desired by the intelligence community were included in the lost portions. The bodies were given a formal burial at the sea.In the early 1970s, two laser scientists began research in parapsychology. In a meeting with representatives of the DS&T, they claimed to have found witnesses of Soviet successes in psychokinetics, use of the mind for moving physical objects, and positive research in mentally viewing remote objects and scenes. Behavioral control was a research area conducted by the CIA. There was extensive testing of the effects of drugs on human subjects throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The majority of these activities were conducted by the Technical Services Staff. Duckett assigned the information on mind control to theTSD when the scientists presented it. The Biofield Measurements Program was initiated in October 1972 to determine whether viewers or percipients could reliably identify and describe features of remote locations.There were attempts to find out what progress the Soviets were making in parapsychology and how it might be used against the United States. Two test subjects claimed to have supernatural abilities. Other units of the DS&T joined in the effort after reported successes in "remote viewing" by the percipients. In the summer of 1973, <mask> and the CIA Executive Director allowed the activity to continue after a management review of the program. An experiment was conducted in 1974. <mask> asked if this center had a description of a target area in the Soviet Union that was recently imaged by a satellite and was suspected to be a nuclear test site. In sessions over a four-day period, the test subjects gave mentally derived descriptions of the site; these descriptions were then independently evaluated by a scientist from the Los Alamos National Laboratory.The CIA had commercial drug manufacturers give samples of drugs rejected for commercial sale in order to study how their "unfavorable side effects" would modify behavior. Duckett stated that the experiments were not being conducted for offensive purposes and that they would be able to recognize certain behavior if similar materials were used against Americans. He was on record as saying that the Director would be foolish to say he is familiar with the program. After retiring from the CIA in 1976, <mask> joined the firm Intec, Inc., as Chairman of the Board and President. He provided analytical studies in technical intelligence and electronic warfare and retained top levels of security clearance. He was a member of the Senate Select Committee for Intelligence and the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He married Ann Marie Bell in 1978.<mask> moved his residence to a bay-side farm in Virginia in 1985 after opening an Intec office at Mathews Court House. He was the Magistrate of Mathews County, Virginia. He died of lung cancer in a medical center at Newport News, Virginia, on April 1, 1992, and was buried near his farm. He had two sons, <mask> and Arthur Lee, and a daughter, <mask>, from his first marriage to Nannie Jane. <mask> received a number of special awards and decorations in his professional career. There is photo-optical instrument engineering. The association of old crows has a control, communications, and intelligence award.As part of its 50th anniversary celebration in 1997, the Central Intelligence Agency gave Trailblazer Awards to 50 Agency officers, who by their actions, example, innovations, or initiative, have taken the CIA in important new directions and helped shape our history. <mask><mask> was a recipient of the award.

title: Lillian Gordy Carter

texts: The mother of the 39th president of the United States <mask> was born in 1898. She wrote two books during the <mask> presidency and was known for her contributions to nursing in her home state of Georgia and as a Peace Corps volunteer in India. On August 15, 1898, <mask> was born to <mask> and <mask>. She was the niece of <mask>, who was the paternal half-brother of <mask> and the grandfather of <mask>. She volunteered to work as a nurse for the U.S. Army in 1917, but the program was canceled. She worked for the US Post Office at Richland before moving to Plains, Georgia in 1920 where she received her nursing degree from the Grady Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Atlanta, Georgia in 1923. Although her family initially disapproved of her choice of a career in nursing, she continued her training and became very successful, earning the respect of both the black and white communities."Miss <mask>", as she was often known, allowed black people to enter her home through the front door, rather than through the back door as was the social norm, and would often have them in her living room for casual conversation just as she would a white neighbor. After Earl was to arrive home, the conversations would continue. The most influential person on her liberal views was her father. James Jackson <mask>, also known as "Jim Jack", ran a Post Office in the town of Richland and was friendly with the black workers. In the early 20th century, it was very unusual for a daughter to follow her father's example. She married James Earl <mask> after graduation. Jimmy, Gloria, Ruth, and Billy were the four children of the couple.She retired from nursing in 1925 but continued to work as a nurse for hundreds of employees in her husband's businesses and for members of the Plains community. <mask> wasn't a regular attender of church services. After some sisters at the local church organized a mission trip to Africa, <mask> became upset saying that there was plenty to be done in the US before he traveled to another country. While the rest of the family attended church, she coordinated her own Bible study at home. After the death of her husband, <mask> left for auburn University where she assumed the role of house mother of the Kappa Alpha Order. After completing her service at auburn, <mask> managed a nursing home in Georgia. <mask> worked to desegregate and provide medical care to African-Americans in Plains, Georgia.<mask> applied for the Peace Corps at the age of 68. She received three months of training and was sent to India to work at the Godrej Colony. She worked there for 21 months. The center was established to honor her work in India. The Atlanta Regional Office of the Peace Corps has an award for volunteers over 50 who make the biggest contribution. <mask>'s mother was one of the first people he told when he decided to run for president. He was thought to be a dark horse for the Democratic Party nomination.Miss <mask> and Friends and Away from Home: Letters to my Family were both published in 1977. When she was in India for the Peace Corps, she sent letters to her family in the latter book. The press loved her for her Southern charm and down-to-earth manner. She always had a good response to every question. One biographer remembers a story about an encounter between <mask> and a reporter from New York who flew to Plains to meet her during her son's 1976 campaign to become the U.S. president. A friend asked <mask> if she would attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Billy's beer business. She asked if she attended Jimmy's inauguration.The U.S. delegation to the funeral of the Yugoslavian president was headed by the wife of Walter Mondale. After her son left office, <mask> was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her younger daughter, <mask> Stapleton, died of Pancreatic Cancer on September 26, 1983, after she was diagnosed with the disease. <mask> died of breast cancer a month later on October 30, 1983, at the age of 85. At her death, her three surviving children were by her side. <mask> was buried in a simple six-minute ceremony next to her husband, who died 30 years before her, on November 1, 1983, at Lebanon Church Cemetery. Two more of her children, <mask> Spann and <mask>, also died from cancer.The former president was diagnosed with melanoma at the age of 90. He stopped treatments after surviving the cancer. He had a stomach ache that was mistaken for cancer. He has supported research into a cure for the disease. <mask> dedicated a major nursing center in Plains in 2001 in recognition of her first years of service to the community as a nurse. She was a member of the Georgia Women of Achievement. The book Away From Home: Letters to My Family was written by <mask>.There are External links to the 1930 Census of Sumter County, Georgia.

title: Gamal El-Sagini

texts: An Egyptian sculptor, painter and medalist was named <mask>-Sagini. El-Sagini was born on January 7, 1917 in Bab El Shaaria, a poor suburb of Cairo, Egypt, where he discovered his passion for art at an early age. El-Sagini received his degree in sculpture from great artists in Cairo at the time. El Sagini traveled to Paris at his own expense to pursue higher studies where he was greatly influenced by English sculptor Henry Moore who was best known for his abstract technique and reclining figures. In 1947, El Sagini traveled to Rome to continue his studies after graduating from graduate school. Through his work, El-Sagini reflected his thoughts of a better future for his country Egypt, and through "The Will" he summarized his reason in life, like in the times of pharaohs. He stood for freedom and peace, as well as being an enemy of Exploitation and Slavery, and was the son of Abdel Wahab El Sagini.During times of joy, despair, victory and defeat, El-Sagini used different symbols of Egypt. Following the Egyptian revolution of 1952, Egypt played a leading role in the Arab world. The Egyptian revolution sparked a series of independence revolutions in the Arab world. El-Sagini depicted Egypt as the giving mother of the entire Arab world with a mother breastfeeding her infants while holding over her shoulders symbols of Prosperity. As a result of the Six-Day War 1967, El-Sagini painted Egypt as a candy doll, a famous symbol in Egyptian carnivals, that is crippled, tortured or even hanged. El-Sagini pictured Egypt as a beautiful woman with strong facial features in two statues of that era in Egypt's modern history, after the blood pumping again into Egypt's and the whole Arab world's veins. El Sagini's second statue "Egypt, The Future" is a depiction of a woman standing proudly in an expression that shows strength, hope and determination towards a better future.The River Nile El Sagini pictured the Nile as an old bearded man in his Statue "The Nile", yet he also considered it his source of solace and relief. In 1969 El Sagini decided to throw some of his sculptures in the Nile because of the state's lack of support as his statues were piling up in his studio instead of standing tall. The Egyptian art scene was taken by storm by this act of rebellion, which made the Egyptian society think about every artist's true passion and purpose of the work he is creating. The purpose is to get the artist's work to be seen by others and to make them think, dream, enjoy and sometimes change. In 1977 El Sagini traveled to Spain for a comprehensive exhibition of his works organized by the Egyptian General Organization for Information held in Madrid and Barcelona, where he died at the age of 60. He was buried at the family cemetery in Cairo with his wife by his side.


title: Jeffrey Foskett

texts: Since the 1980s, <mask> has been a touring and studio musician for Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys' touring members described Foskett as their "vice principal". He released a solo album in 1996. Born and raised in San Jose, California, Foskett began his first band in the 1970s known as Cherry, after the willow Glen area street on which he lived. In the same market as Papa Doo Run Run, Foskett played mostly surf music covers. The Reverie Rhythm Rockers and The Pranks were formed in the late 1970s by Foskett while he was a student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The band held a house residency at The Troubadore Nightclub in Hollywood on Mondays.After hearing "I Get Around", he became a fan of the Beach Boys and wanted to meet Brian Wilson. Wilson's house in Bel Air had a stained-glass window that looked like the artwork of his album Wild Honey. Wilson invited him into his house as a guest after he knocked on his door. The two kept in touch. Reverie was the house band at the famous Santa Barbara restaurant in 1979. Reverie was hired by Love to be the original incarnation of The Endless Summer Beach Band. When Carl Wilson left The Beach Boys to pursue a solo career, the band toured with Love.When Carl rejoined the Beach Boys in May 1982, he asked Foskett to stay and perform Wilson's parts. When Brian Wilson came back to touring in the late 1990s, he asked Foskett to help him assemble his band. Up until his departure from Wilson's band, Foskett was the musical director, appearing at every solo show Wilson had performed. Several of Wilson's songs, including "Don't Worry Baby", "The Warmth of the Sun" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice", were sung by Foskett. The 2004 version of SMiLE was a majority of Wilson's solo material. In 2012 Foskett joined the Beach Boys' live band on their 50th anniversary reunion tour and recorded the studio album That's Why God Made the Radio with the band. "<mask> is indispensable to keeping the continuity between the various component parts," stated Al Jardine.He supports Brian in many ways. It's possible to have Brian Wilson on the road with us because he has Brian's confidence. It would be difficult for Brian to tour without that shoulder to lean on. I'm very thankful for that. He provided lead vocals on "Don't Worry Baby", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", and "Why Do Fools Fall In Love", as well as singing all of the falsetto vocals. After the reunion tour, Foskett resumed touring with Wilson. Wilson enlisted guitarist Jeff Beck to accompany him on his tour and collaborate with him on his next album.There was sudden heavy workload on touring and recording the album that caused Foskett to leave the band. After the Jeff Beck tour, I was stressed and burned out. Recording that album and the tour was a lot of work for me because I knew Jeff so well. I snapped at the end of the tour and said I couldn't do it anymore. As long as Brian knows I love him, he is alright with me. Wilson joined his father and founding member Al Jardine on his tours. On May 15, 2014, it was announced that Foskett would be rejoining the Beach Boys as a permanent member.Love's solo albums Unleash the Love and Reason for the Season were performed by Foskett. Due to throat surgery, Foskett took leave from the Beach Boys. In late 2019, Foskett announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 anaplastic thyroid cancer and that his vocal range has deteriorated as a result of several surgeries and treatments on his vocal cords. He said that his next album may be his last as a solo artist and that he would continue as a live musician and possibly do record production work. Cool and Gone and Twelve and Twelve are two of the solo albums released by Foskett. Top Selling Artist of the Year in New Zealand and Best New Foreign Artist in Japan have been won by Foskett. He is a member of "California Rocks" the California Rock Hall of Fame and has toured and recorded with other friends in the music industry such as Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Roy Orbison, The Everly Brothers, Christopher Cross.One of the few Artists who has recorded and performed live with The Big Three Guitar Greats is Jeff Beck. Micky Dolenz of The Monkees is one of the artists he produces. The JF-12 was the first Signature Model Guitar released by Italia Guitars. Jeff was honored by Italia Guitars with a second Signature Model Guitar. The JF-Q Six String Guitar is the third Signature Model Guitar released by Italia Guitars. The duet studio album with Jeff Larson was released on June 12. <mask> supports The MD Anderson Cancer Center at The University of Texas, Houston, The Gary Sinise Foundation, and The Carl Wilson Foundation.Love Songs, Vintage Summer, and The Other Takes are all studio albums.

title: Jonathan Christian

texts: <mask> was an Irish judge who was based in Dublin. He was the Solicitor-General for Ireland from 1856 to 1858. He was appointed Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery after being a judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He served on the Irish Court of Appeal for a short time, but retired after a few months. As a judge, <mask> courted controversy, despite being one of the best Irish lawyers of his time. He had a bitter and sarcastic temper and contempt for most of his colleagues. No serious thought was given to removing him from office even though he was rebuked several times by the House of Commons.He was the third son of <mask> and Margaret Cormack. He entered Gray's Inn in the 18th century and was called to the Irish Bar in the 19th century. He had four sons and four daughters with Mary Thomas. He lived in Wicklow. He admitted to being near to despair at times during his early years at the Bar. Chancery procedures were very complex and he found them to be almost unintelligible. He became a leader of the Bar and took silk.The Lord Chancellor was unable to argue with him because of his expertise in Chancery procedures. He resigned as Law Adviser to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland after only a few months because it interfered with his private practice. He resigned as Third Sergeant in 1855 because he was disappointed at not being promoted. He was promoted to a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1858. It was said that he had no political loyalty. <mask> was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas and he got along well with his colleagues. He went out of his way to court controversy on a wide variety of topics after being appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery in 1867.<mask> contemptuously referred to the Irish Reports as "nonsense", "worthless rubbish" and "disjointed twaddle". Attempts by colleagues to get him to change his language failed. In his last years, <mask>'s relations with the law reporters were so bad that they simply published their uncorrected notes of his decisions rather than sending them to the judge for revision. The office of Vice-Chancellor for Ireland was filled by Hedges Eyre Chatterton, who retired in 1904. Despite his long service, he was not considered a judge of the first rank, and <mask> combined feelings of professional contempt and personal dislike for him. Despite protests from his colleagues, <mask> voted on appeal to overturn his judgments and added personal attacks on Chatterton. The Irish Times quoted one judge's opinion that another was "lazy, stupid, conceited and dogmatic" in 1870, in the midst of a feud between the two judges.It was widely believed that <mask> was the author of the remarks, which were aimed at Chatterton. Chatterton was fortunate to have the support of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, Thomas O'Hagan, who was on bad terms with <mask>. O'Hagan <mask> had a good working relationship with Abraham Brewster. He felt the same contempt for O'Hagan as he did for Chatterton. Although they had served together in the Court of Common Pleas without any obvious conflict, <mask> considered O'Hagan's appointment as Lord Chancellor to be a purely political act, and that he was unsuitable to be either head of the judiciary or an appeal judge in Chancery. Chancellor <mask> did not confine his attacks to the Courtroom but published many pamphlets, which was seen as improper conduct by a judge. A friend of O'Hagan wished him well when he became Chancellor for the second time.His decision to publicly attack the House of Lords for reversing, by a majority including O'Hagan, was probably the result of his feud with O'Hagan. In a letter to The Times in 1877, which has been described as "astounding", <mask> questioned the Law Lords knowledge of equity, and it is likely that he also intended to harm O'Hagan's reputation. The First Irish Land Act 1870 was a source of contention between <mask> and O'Hagan. Tenants have the right to compensation in the event of eviction. <mask>, who was not a landlord and was not interested in politics, objected strongly to the policy of the Act, which he believed to be most unjust to landlords. His attacks from the Bench on the Act led to serious rebukes from the House of Commons and from the Press, which commented on the impropriety of a judge attacking an Act of Parliament, which it was his duty to enforce. Other judges came in for attack, including Chief Justice James Whiteside, who <mask> accused of speaking constantly on matters of which he was ignorant.He was a lonely and isolated figure in his later years, as his vigorous opposition to the Supreme Court of Judicature was unsuccessful. His deafness may have played a part in his decision to retire. <mask> was praised as a master of equity, a man of great learning and a judge with a desire to see justice done, but he did not deny that he loved controversy. His supporters and critics both spoke of his "spirit of personal sarcasm, cold, keen and cynical". <mask> was genuinely concerned to uphold high standards of judicial conduct, but his own conduct struck most observers as far more improper than anything he complained of in others. Irish Queen's Counsel Alumni of Trinity College Dublin were members of the Privy Council of Ireland.
