title: Johann Heermann

texts: Heermann was a German poet and hymnodist. The calendar of saints of the Lutheran Church commemorates him on 26 October. Life Heermann was the fourth son of a middle-class Protestant family. When the infant Heermann became very ill, his mother prayed that he would survive and that she would pay for him to attend university. When <mask>n left the school to become the local pastor in 1597, Heermann's parents took him to Wohlau, where he lived and studied with a doctor and apothecary. He was taught at school by the son of the composer of two popular hymns. His parents brought him home after he became ill again.He went back to school after recovering. At the age of seventeen, he began his first poetry at the house of a teacher. In 1602, he moved to Fraustadt, where he lived and worked with the theologian Valerius Herberger, who employed him as amanuensis and tutor to his son. Heermann's skills as a poet were appreciated. Despite Herberger's influence, he stayed in Fraustadt for a year and then moved on to study at the Gymnasium in Breslau, where he could give speeches and recite his poetry. He decided to go to university in 1607, but was persuaded by his patron, Wenzel von Rothkirch, to stay with him, teaching his two sons and accompanying them on a trip around Europe. Heermann used his spare time to study in the ducal library.He was also able to publish small collections of speeches and poems, and came in contact with Matthus Zuber, a talented poet who had also been made poet Laureate. Heermann achieved laureation on 8 October 1608 in Brieg. They attended theology lectures and met professors of rhetoric and law while he was in Strasbourg over Easter 1609. He contracted an eye infection after publishing a book, and returned home on doctor's advice. He arrived home less healthy than when he left. He was appointed a deacon in the Lutheran congregation in Kben in modern-day Chobienia, Poland, where the incumbent pastor was old and in poor health. He began work on Ascension Day

texts: 1611, and a few days later the pastor died, with Heermann taking on his duties on a temporary basis.He married Dorothea Feige, the daughter of the mayor of Raudten, in the Autumn of that year. After a successful start to his career in Kben, the plague arrived in 1613 and a fire swept through the town in 1616. On 13 September 1617, Dorothea died childless. He married Anna Teichmann, daughter of a merchant, in 1618 and they had four children. Heermann's nose and air passages became infections after he fell ill again in 1623. After the Thirty Years' War, Kben was plundered by Catholic troops in 1632, 1633, 1634 and 1642, and Heermann lost his worldly possessions several times. In 1634, his illness prevented him from preaching, and he no longer read out his sermons in church.He died in Leszno in 1647, after moving across the border to Poland. Heermann's Flores ex Otfridi Evangeliorum vireto was published in 1609. One or two lines of German poetry were added to each Latin poem in order to show that Heermann had an early desire to write poetry in German. The tradition of versifying passages from the Gospels is what led to the later works. A set of guidelines on how German poetry should be composed was the inspiration for this process of revision. According to the rules set out in Opitz's tract, <mask> was one of the first German poets to write. Heermann wrote poetry that was influenced by works of devotional literature such as Valerius Herberger and Martin Moller.The works were often influenced by the pre-Reformation texts of the Church Fathers. Heermann's most influential work of devotional poetry was Devoti musica cordis, which combined hymns based on texts of the Church Fathers and writers such as Moller with hymns Heermann himself had composed. He published collections of sermons as well as works of poetry.

title: Lord Edward Gleichen

texts: A British courtier and soldier was Major General Lord <mask>. He was the only son of Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and his wife, Laura Williamina, who was a sister of Queen Victoria. Lady Feodora was his sister. The title was derived from his mother, who received it shortly before her marriage to his father. The Princes of Hohenlohe's father used the title of heir to place himself on the same social footing as his wife. <mask> wasn't entitled to any land or revenues from this property. On December 15, 1885, the Court Circular announced Queen Victoria's permission for <mask>'s mother to share his father's rank at the Court of St James'.The Queen confirmed use of their German style as count and countesses, although she did not extend that privilege to their children. The daughters of dukes in the English peerage were granted precedence over <mask>'s sisters in the peerage of England. Career Gleichen was a Page of Honour to the Queen from 1874 to 1879. He rose through the ranks of the Guards, eventually becoming a Major General. He was a member of the Guards Camel Corps in the Sudan campaign and the Egyptian army in the Dongala campaign. He was mentioned in despatches for his actions during the Battle of Modder River in 1899. He was appointed to the forces in South Africa in January 1900.He was Sudan agent in Cairo from 1901 to 1903 and Military Attache to Berlin from 1903 to 1906. He was sent to be Military Attache in Washington D.C. after Kaiser Wilhelm II fell out. He met the Wright brothers in Washington but failed to form a relationship with Teddy Roosevelt. From 1907 to 1911, he was the assistant director of military operations. He commanded the 15th brigade from

He was knighted in 1909. Over 300 papers and books were produced by Galton. The statistical concept of correlation and regression was created by him. He was the first to apply statistical methods to the study of human differences and inheritance of intelligence, and introduced the use of questionnaires and surveys for collecting data on human communities, which he needed for genealogy and biographical works. He was a pioneer of the term "eugenics", as well as the phrase "nature versus nurture". Hereditary Genius was the first attempt to study genius and greatness.psychometrics and differential psychology were founded by him as an investigator of the human mind. He came up with a way to classify fingerprints that was useful in forensic science. He found that the power of prayer had no effect on the longevity of those prayed for. Even the optimal method for making tea was part of his quest for the scientific principles of diverse phenomena. He created the first weather map, proposed a theory of anticyclones, and was the first to establish a complete record of short-term climatic phenomena on a European scale. The Galton Whistle was invented to test hearing ability. He was Charles Darwin's half-cousin.The site of "Fair Hill", the former home of Joseph Priestley, which was renamed by William Withering, was where <mask> was born.

The founding members of the Lunar Society of Birmingham were Darwin and <mask>.Both families had literary talent. The technical treatises were written in verse. Mary Anne <mask> wrote about aesthetic and religion, as well as the environment of her childhood, in her autobiography. Galton was a child genius, he was reading by the age of two, and by the age of five he knew some Greek, Latin and long division, and by the age of six he was reading Shakespeare for pleasure. He left King Edward's School at 16 because he didn't like the classical curriculum. He studied for two years at King's College London Medical School after his parents pressed him to enter the medical profession. He studied mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1840 to early 1844.According to the records of the United Grand Lodge of England, in February 1844 <mask> became a freemason at the Scientific lodge, held at the Red Lion Inn in Cambridge, progressing through the three masonic degrees: Apprentice, 5 February 1844; Fellow Craft, 11 March 1844. <mask>ton Trinity College student gained his certificate in March 1845. One of <mask>'s masonic certificates can be found in his papers at University College, London. <mask> didn't want to try for honours because of a nervous breakdown. He chose to take a "poll" B.A. Like his half-cousin Charles Darwin. He was awarded an M.A.Without further study in 1847. After the death of his father, he ended his medical studies and turned to foreign travel, sport and technical invention. <mask> traveled through Eastern Europe and Constantinople before going to Cambridge.

After joining the Royal Geographical Society in 1850, he embarked on a two-year expedition into South West Africa. He wrote a book about his experience in South Africa. He was awarded the Royal Geographical Society's founder's gold medal and the silver medal for his cartographic survey of the region.His reputation as an explorer was established by this. The Art of Travel, a handbook of practical advice for the Victorian on the move, went through many editions and is still in print. Middle years <mask> was a polymath who made important contributions in many fields of science, including meteorology, statistics, psychology, biology, and criminology. His penchant for counting and measuring influenced a lot of this. The first weather map was published in The Times on April 1, 1875, showing the weather from the previous day. He presented many papers on a wide variety of topics at the British Association for the advancement of science from 1858 to 1899. He was the general secretary from 1863 to 1867, president of the Geographical section in 1867 and 1872, and president of the Anthropological section in 1877 and 1885.He was a member of the council of the Royal Geographical Society for over forty years. James Cattell decided to study under him after reading Galton's articles. He and <mask> worked together on research. The South Kensington Museum had a lab established in the late 19th century. Participants could be measured in <mask>'s lab to find out their strengths and weaknesses. <mask> used the data for his own research. He would usually charge a small fee for his services.In 1873, <mask> wrote a letter to The Times in which he

The publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species changed <mask>'s life. He was gripped by the first chapter of "Variation under Domestication", concerning animal breeding. In his 1871 book The Descent of Man, <mask> drew on his cousin's work, but he devoted much of the rest of his life to exploring variation in human populations and its implications. The research program Galton established embraced multiple aspects of human variation, from mental characteristics to height. The discovery of new statistical techniques was required in order to describe and understand the data. Galton was interested in the question of whether human ability was hereditary, and wanted to count the number of the relatives of different degrees of men.He reasoned that if the qualities were hereditary, there should be more great men among the relatives than among the general population. The methods of historiometry were invented to test this. <mask> obtained extensive data from a wide range of biographical sources. In 1869, hereditary genius was described in detail. He showed that when going from the first degree to the second degree, the number of relatives dropped off. He thought it was proof of the inheritance of abilities. The question could be better studied by comparisons of twins, as Galton recognised the limitations of his methods.His method contemplated testing to see if twins who were similar at birth differed in environments. The history of twins in 1875 was the subject of a paper he used the method of questionnaires to gather. He anticipated the modern field of behavior genetics, which relies on twin

texts: studies. The evidence favored nature over nurture. Adoption studies should separate the effects of heredity and environment. The ability of a civilization's citizens and their reproductive success were influenced by cultural circumstances. In Hereditary Genius, he imagined a situation that would be resilient and enduring, as follows: <mask> invented the term "eugenics" in 1884 and set down many of his observations and conclusions in a book, Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development.He believed that a scheme of'marks' for family merit should be defined and that early marriage between families of high rank should be encouraged via provision of monetary incentives. He thought that some of the tendencies in British society, such as the late marriages ofEminent people, and the paucity of their children, were dysgenic. Eugenic marriages should be encouraged by giving able couples incentives to have children. The second lecture at the Royal Anthropological Institute was delivered by Galton on October 29, 1901. The Eugenics Review was published in 1909. The first volume of the society was written by <mask>. The First International Congress of Eugenics was held in July 1912.Several people were at the event, including Carls Elliot. The justification of genocide was bordered on by Galton when he said there was a sentiment against the gradual extinction of an inferior race. The lecture theatre was renamed in June 2020 because of Galton's connection to the eugenics movement. The model for population stability can be traced to Galton's attempts at developing a mathematical model for population stability. The first attempt to study Darwinian questions, Hereditary Genius, generated little enthusiasm, but the text led to further

texts: studies concerning the inheritance of physical traits. There are some crude notions of the concept of regression in this text. He wrote about dogs, "If a man breeds from strong, well-shaped dogs, but of mixed pedigree, the puppies will be sometimes, but rarely, the equals of their parents."Ancestors are apt to crop out in the offspring, so they will most likely be of a nondescript type. <mask> couldn't reconcile the idea of inheritance and the tendency of a population to maintain a normal distribution of traits from generation to generation. The normal distribution of a trait in each generation was caused by a large number of factors. The basis of inheritance was not explained as to how a parent can have a significant impact on his offspring. The solution to this problem was presented in <mask>'s Presidential Address at the September 1885 meeting of the British Association for the advancement of science, as he was serving as the President of Section H: Anthropology. The theory of "Regression toward mediocrity in hereditary stature" and "Hereditary Stature" was developed by Galton after the address was published in Nature. In 1889, an elaboration of this theory was published.The law of error was one of the key developments that helped develop this theory. The law of regression to the mean was developed by the Galton board and his studies of sweet peas. The 1877 version of the quincunx had a new feature that helped Galton demonstrate that a normal mixture of normal distributions is also normal. Adding chutes to the apparatus was used to demonstrate this. The stable population was achieved when the pellets passed through the curved chutes and then the pins. <mask> gave a lecture titled "Typical Laws of Heredity" at the

texts: Royal Institution in London. He said in the lecture that there must be a counteracting force.This model required more intergenerational natural selection than was plausible. On February 9, 1877, Galton addressed the Royal Institution after starting to grow sweet peas. Each group of seeds followed a normal curve, and the curves were equally dispersed. The weight of the parent was not the focus of each group. Every progeny group was distributed at a value that was closer to the population average than the parent. The deviation from the average was the same, but the magnitude was larger. Galton showed that the families combined to produce a stable, normally distributed population.In 1885, when he addressed the British Association for the advancement of science, <mask> said that he was blind to the simple explanation of sweet peas. Data on human stature was collected and analyzed by Galton. J. Hamilton Dickson was asked by Galton to investigate the geometric relationship of the data. He found that the regression coefficients did not ensure population stability by chance, but rather that they were related by a simple equation. The linearity of regression was found to be a consequence of population stability. The Law of Ancestral Heredity was formulated from the model for population stability. The law states that the two parents of an offspring contribute one half of the offspring's heritage, while the other ancestors make up a smaller portion of the offspring's heritage.When stretched, the distribution of traits would return to the normal distribution. He concluded that evolution would have to occur via discontinuous steps. There was a battle between the followers of <mask>'s Law of Ancestral Heredity and those who advocated

texts: Mendel's principles when his principles were rediscovered in 1900. Charles Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis was challenged by the Empirical test of pangenesis and Lamarckism <mask>'s inquiries into heredity. As part of the model, Darwin proposed that certain particles were responsible for the inheritance of acquired characteristics, as well as moving throughout the body. In consultation with Darwin, <mask> set out to see if they were transported in the blood. In 1869 to 1871, he transfused the blood between different breeds of rabbits, and looked at the features of their offspring.There was no evidence of characters in the blood. Darwin challenged the validity of <mask>'s experiment, giving his reasons in an article published in Nature. He was able to rediscover the particulate theory of inheritance, but was prevented from making the final breakthrough because of his focus on continuous. The use of statistical techniques to study continuous traits and population-scale aspects of heredity was found by him. The journal Biometrika was founded in 1901 by Karl Pearson and W. R. Weldon. R. A. Fisher would show how the two approaches could be reconciled. The correlation and regression techniques that <mask> invented and the phenomena he established formed the basis of the biometric approach and are now essential tools in all social sciences.The International Health Exhibition was held in London in 1884. The nation was able to display its advanced public health outreach, compared to other countries at the time, because of this exhibition. <mask> was able to set up his laboratory. The purpose of the laboratory was to show the public the simplicity of the instruments and methods by which the chief physical characteristics of man

The laboratory had an interactive walk-through in which physical characteristics such as height, weight, and eyesight would be measured for each subject after payment of an admission fee. The subject would visit the following stations after entering the laboratory. First, they would fill out a form with personal and family history, then visit stations that recorded hair and eye color, followed by the keenness, color-sense, and depth perception of sight.They would examine their sense of touch after examining their hearing and highest audible note. The noise and echoes in the building rendered the apparatus used to measure hearing useless. Their ability to throw a punch would also be measured. The next stations would look at the strength of both pulling and squeezing. The subjects' heights in various positions. Arm span and weight would be measured. The size of the head was not a characteristic of interest.The omission was mostly for practical reasons according to Galton. It would not be very accurate and it would take a lot of time for women to reassemble their hair and bonnets. The patrons would be given a souvenir with their biological data, and <mask> would keep a copy for future statistical research. Although the laboratory did not use any revolutionary measurement techniques, it was unique because of the simple logistics of constructing such a demonstration within a limited space, and because of the speed and efficiency with which all the necessary data were gathered. The gallery is 36 feet long by 6 feet long and is fenced off. The process for collecting data had to be easy for people to understand. As a result, subjects were taken through the laboratory in pairs so that explanations

texts: could be given to two at a time, also in the hope that one of the two would take the initiative to go through all the tests first, encouraging the other.The total time spent in the exhibit was fourteen minutes for each pair. The measurements of human characteristics are useful for two reasons according to Galton. He states that measuring physical characteristics is useful in order to make sure that children are developing properly. In order to correct any deficiencies early on, he suggests checking a child's eyesight regularly. The data from his lab is used for statistical studies. The collected data can be used to compare attributes across occupations, residences, races, etc. <mask> was able to collect a large amount of raw data from the health exhibition.He had 9,337 respondents who were measured in 17 categories. <mask> used the data from the International Health Exhibition to confirm his theory of linear regression in humans. He was able to observe the correlation between forearm length and height, head width and head breadth, and head length and height. He was able to write Co-relations and their Measurements from Anthropometric Data. When the variation of the one variable is accompanied on the average by more or less variation of the other, it's called co-relation. The first example of historiometry is the method used in Hereditary Genius. To bolster these results, and to attempt to make a distinction between 'nature' and 'nurture', he devised a questionnaire that he sent out to 190 fellows of the Royal Society.He took the characteristics of their families, such as birth order and occupation. He tried to find out if their interest in science was due to the encouragements of others. English men of science: their

texts: nature and nurture was published in 1874. It provided some fascinating data on the sociology of scientists of the time, though it did not settle the nature versus nurture question. The first scientist to recognize the lexical hypothesis was Sir <mask>. The idea is that personality differences in people's lives will eventually become part of their language. The hypothesis suggests that it is possible to derive a comprehensive taxonomy of human personality traits by sampling language.Detailed recording of people's subjective accounts of whether and how their minds dealt with phenomena such as mental imagery was part of the questionnaire Galton used to inquire into the mind. The use of the questionnaire was pioneered by him. He asked his fellow members of the Royal Society of London to describe their mental images. He collected in-depth surveys from scientists for a work looking at the effects of nature and nurture on scientific thinking. Measurement have a central tendency, or mean, and a spread around this central value, or variance, as the concept of variability and standard deviation Core to any statistical analysis. The standard deviation was conceived of by <mask> in the late 1860s. Galton was interested in what was happening.He stumbled upon a contest at a livestock fair in 1906. The villagers were invited to guess the ox's weight after it was slaughtered and dressed. <mask> was able to study the individual entries after the event. The middlemost estimate expresses the vox populi, every other estimate being condemned as too low or too high by a majority of the voters, and was reported by <mask>. This was less than 1% of the weight measured by the judges. He reported the mean of the guesses as 1,197 pounds, but did

texts: not comment on the improved accuracy. The mean estimate had no error because the median was actually 1,208 pounds and the ox's dressed weight was 1,197 pounds.His conclusion on the wisdom of the crowd would no doubt have been more strongly expressed had he known the true result. <mask> wrote a letter to the journal Nature suggesting a better method of cutting a round cake. The bean machine, also known as the Galton board, was invented by Galton to demonstrate the law of error and the normal distribution. The properties of the bivariate normal distribution were discovered by him. The correlation coefficients were developed by the French physicist Auguste Bravais. The concept of correlation was rediscovered by Galton after examining forearm and height measurements. Galton's study of extinction of surnames led to the concept of Galton–Watson stochastic processes.The use of the regression line and the choice of r to represent the correlation coefficients was invented by <mask>. In the 1870s and 1880s he was a pioneer in the use of normal theory to fit data, such as large samples of sibling and parental height. His further insights into evolution, natural selection, and regression to the mean came from considering the results of the empirical studies. He first observed the phenomenon of regression toward the mean in his experiments on the size of the seeds of successive generations of sweet peas. The way the term is defined affects the conditions under which regression occurs. The phenomenon was first observed in the context of simple linear regression. The following model was developed by Galton: pellets fall through a quincunx or "bean machine" and form a normal distribution under their entrance point.The pellets could be

He proposed an early theory of ranges of sound and hearing, and collected large quantities of data from the public through his popular and long-running Anthropometric Laboratory, which he established in 1884. The data was analysed in their entirety in 1985. He created a map of Britain based on the attractiveness of the local women. The lowest point was in Aberdeen.The foundation of differential psychology can be traced back to <mask>'s study of human abilities. He wanted to measure humans in every way possible. He assumed that the ability to make sensory discrimination was linked to intellectual prowess. A test of sensory discrimination and reaction time could be used to measure individual differences in general ability. He linked how quickly people reacted to internal wiring which limited intelligence ability. Galton assumed that people who reacted faster were more intelligent. A technique called "composite portraiture" was devised by Galton to create an average face by superimposing multiple photographic portraits of individuals' faces on their eyes.In the 1990s, a hundred years after his discovery, much psychological research has examined the attractiveness of these faces, an aspect that <mask> had remarked on in his original lecture. Others, including Sigmund Freud in his work on dreams, picked up Galton's suggestion that these composites might represent a useful metaphor for an ideal type or a concept of a "natural kind". The entry is also called Modern physiognomy. Joseph Jacobs studied anthropology and statistics with <mask>.

The identification of typical criminal faces would be aided by Galton's technique.His technique did not prove to be useful and fell into disuse after a lot of work by photographers. Galton studied the heritability and racial differences in fingerprints and estimated the probability of two people having the same fingerprints. He wrote about the technique, which caused a controversy between Herschel and Faulds, and created a classification system that survives to this day. The method of identifying criminals by their fingerprints was introduced in India in the 1860s by Sir William James Herschel, and their potential use in forensic work was first proposed by Dr Henry Faulds in 1880. <mask> was introduced to the field by his half-cousin Charles Darwin, who was a friend of Faulds's, and he went on to create the first scientific footing for the study. There were different types of fingerprints. He described and categorized them into eight broad categories: plain arch, tented arch, simple loop, central pocket loop, double loop, lateral pocket loop, and plain whorl.In an effort to reach a wider audience, <mask> worked on a novel from May until December 1910. The utopia described in the novel was designed to breed fit and smart humans. His notebooks show that this was an expansion of his previous work. They showed little enthusiasm when he offered it for publication. Galton told his niece that it should either be smothered or superseded. It was published online by University College, London, despite the fact that most of the novel was burned by his niece. <mask> is buried in the

The Martha Mission was started by his wife to teach women how to sew. Trotter proved tactful to those who visited the mission, but he was a strong leader with a keen business sense and was able to raise the necessary funds to keep the Mission doors open. Trotter helped found dozens of rescue missions around the country, many of which were headed by people he had trained and inspired.

She went to Gaza as part of her college senior-year independent-study proposal to connect her home town and Rafah as sister cities. She joined other ISM activists in trying to stop the Israeli army from demolishing Palestinian houses. The Israeli authorities claim that the demolitions were done to eliminate weapons-smuggling tunnels. Human rights groups say the demolitions were used as punishment. The exact nature of her death and the culpability of the bulldozer operator are disputed, with fellow ISM protestors saying that the Israeli soldier operating the bulldozer deliberately ran over her, and Israeli eyewitnesses saying that it was an accident since the bulldozer operator could not see her.An investigation by the Israeli army concluded that the death was an accident and that the driver of the bulldozer could not see <mask> due to limited visibility from his cab. The military investigation was criticized by several organizations. The state of Israel was the subject of a civil lawsuit in 2005.

After graduating from Capital High School, she attended The Evergreen State College, where she took a number of arts courses. She took a year off from her studies to work as a volunteer.She spent three years making weekly visits to mental patients. A local pro-ISM group called "Olympians for Peace and Solidarity" was where she became a "committed peace activist". She joined the ISM to protest the policies of the Israeli army in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In her senior year, she proposed an independent-study program in which she would travel to Gaza, join the ISM team, and start a sister city project. She organized a pen-Pal program for children in the area. In Rafah, there was an attempt to impede house demolitions which were being carried out. The security road near the border between Israel and Egypt at Rafah was used to destroy tunnels used by terrorists to smuggle weapons from Egypt to Gaza.Some human rights groups criticized these military operations for being collective punishment. Palestinians used the structures as cover to shoot at their troops patrolling in the area,

A group of activists from outside of the Palestinian territories tried to prevent the Israeli army's activities by acting as human shields. On her first night there, she and two other ISM members set up camp inside Block J, which the ISM described as a densely populated neighborhood along the Pink Line and frequent target of gunfire from an Israeli watchtower. They hoped to discourage shooting by displaying banners stating that they were international, by situating themselves between the Palestinians and the Israeli watchtowers. When Israeli soldiers fired warning shots, <mask> and her colleagues dismantled their tent and left the area. Qishta, a Palestinian who worked as an interpreter, said that late January and February was a very crazy time.There were house demolitions taking place all over the border strip and the activists had no time to do anything else. Qishta stated that the ISM activists were crazy. An Irish ISM activist had a close encounter with an armored bulldozer, and a British participant was wounded by a bomb while retrieving the body of a Palestinian man killed by a sniper. The Palestinians were worried that the internationals would get caught in the crossfire if they stayed in the tents between the watchtowers and the residential neighborhoods. To overcome this suspicion, <mask> learned a few words of Arabic and participated in a mock trial.

We discussed how to engage the Israeli military. According to a January 2003 article by Gordon Murray, a fellow ISM activist, in the last month of her life she spent a lot of time at the Canada Well helping protect Rafah municipal workers who were trying to repair damage to the well done by Israeli bulldozers. Canada Well was built with funding.Before the damage, it and El Iskan Well had supplied more than 50% of Rafah's water. The city was under strict rationing and only had a few hours of running water on alternate days. ISM activists were maintaining a presence there since Israeli tanks and snipers routinely shot at civilian workers trying to repair the wells. In one of her reports, she wrote that despite her group's having received permission from the Israeli District Command Office and the fact that they were carrying megaphones, activists and workers were fired upon several times over a period of about one hour. One of the bullets came within two metres of three internationals and a municipal water worker, who were close enough to spray bits of debris in their faces as it landed at their feet.

They said she was between the bulldozer and a wall near Nasrallah's home, where ISM activists had spent the night several times. According to Israeli witnesses, the death was accidental because the bulldozer operator was not able to see <mask>.According to Israeli witnesses, <mask> was not defending a house from being demolished and was instead preventing a military operation to find weapons and tunnels in Gaza. An officer from the IDF testified in court that on that day they only cleared vegetation and rubble from houses that had already been demolished. The operator of the bulldozer may or may not have seen <mask> and may or may not have caused her injuries by pushing a mound of debris. The operators of the armored personnel carriers that accompany bulldozers are usually responsible for directing the bulldozers towards their targets because the Caterpillar D9 bulldozers have a restricted field of vision. Richard Purssell testified that he began demolishing one house. We went into the house after we called out to them. They didn't shoot at us because they knew who we were and what we were doing.We shouted as we stood in their way. We were in an area of 70 square meters. I saw <mask> standing in the way of the bulldozer when they turned to the house they had started to demolish before. Human-rights activists and Palestinians say that the demolitions were accompanied by gunfire. More than 200 Palestinians, including 78

An ISM activist using the name "Richard" told Haaretz that there's no way he didn't see her, since she was practically looking into the cabin.He turned toward the building at one point. She fell off the plow when the bulldozer kept moving. The shovel above her was moving. I think it was about 10 or 15 meters that it dragged her. We yelled like crazy to the operator, but he kept going and didn't lift the shovel. It stopped and backed up. We ran to her.She was breathing. Tom Dale, a member of the ISM, commented on the 2012 verdict, saying that it was "insane" that the driver didn't see her because he was so far away. I told the court that just before she was crushed, <mask> stood on top of the rolling mound of earth which had gathered in front of the bulldozer: her head was above the level of the blade, and a few meters from the driver. Joe Carr, an American ISM activist who used the assumed name of Joseph Smith during his time in Gaza, gave the following account in an affidavit recorded and published by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. She climbed onto the pile of rubble being pushed by the bulldozer when it was close to her. The bulldozer operator and co-operator could see her because her head and upper torso were above the bulldozer's blade. She fell back out of view of the driver because the operator continued forward.She tried to go back, but was pulled under the bulldozer. One activist with a megaphone shouted as we ran

The Killing Zone, which aired in June 2003 on British Channel 4 and The Observer, featured an interview with Joe (Smith) Carr two days after the death of <mask>. He said it was either a really gross mistake or a really brutal murder. According to The Seattle Times, "Smith, who witnessed Sunday's incident, said it began when <mask> sat down in front of the bulldozer." He said the operator dumped her on the ground and ran over her twice."Smith" later acknowledged that the bulldozer operator could have lost sight of <mask> after he fell down the dirt pile. The bulldozer operator was interviewed on Israeli TV and insisted he had no idea she was in front of him. You will never know if you go over something. I picked up some earth and couldn't see anything. I didn't see her when I pushed the earth. Maybe she was hiding. The footage from inside the cockpit of the D9 was used in the video produced by the IDF.Joshua Hammer wrote in Mother Jones that the video makes a "credible case" that the operators might not have seen <mask> kneeling in front of them. During the trial of the civil suit brought by <mask>'s parents, an IDF officer testified that the activists had spent hours trying to block the bulldozers under his command. He said that it was a war zone where Palestinians used abandoned homes as firing positions and exploited foreign activists for cover.

President Bush was promised a "thorough, credible, and transparent investigation" by the autopsy Prime Minister of Israel. Later, Capt. Jacob Dallal, a spokesman for the Israeli army, said that she and the other ISM activists were "a group of protesters who were acting very irresponsibly, putting everyone in danger." Chief Pathologist Yehuda Hiss conducted an autopsy on March 24 in Tel Aviv. The final report was not made public, but a copy was provided to Human Rights Watch, with a translation from the U.S. Department of State.The report quotes Hiss as saying, "Her death was caused by pressure on the chest (mechanical asphyxiation) with injuries to the spine and lung." On June 26, 2003 The Jerusalem Post quoted an Israeli military spokesman as saying that the operator had not seen or heard the woman. The driver had a very limited field of vision due to the protective cage he was working in as she stood behind debris obstructing his view. The driver and his commanders were extensively questioned with the use of polygraph tests and video evidence. She was standing in the path of the tractor. The cause of death was not from the tractor

The IDF stated that a bulldozer with 2 crews was not building demolition. According to the report, she died as a result of injuries sustained when earth and debris accidentally fell on her. The house was destroyed after a hole was knocked in a wall. The Nasrallah family moved into a different house by that time. The house that <mask> was trying to protect was rebuilt with funds raised by The Rebuilding Alliance. The Guardian was told by a spokesman for the IDF that it intended to change its procedures to avoid similar incidents in the future.The spokesman said that the level of command of similar operations would be raised and that civilians in the area would be dispersed before operations began. Observers will be deployed and cameras will be installed on bulldozers to make up for blind spots that may have contributed to <mask>'s death. The report was given to congress in April of 2003 and the report was released to the media in June of that year. In March 2004, the family said that the entire report had not been released, and that only they and two American staffers at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv had been allowed to view it. The family was allowed to look at the report in San Francisco. The Israeli report was rejected by the ISM because it was not credible and transparent.

The Catholic Worker house was named after her.Nine Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, among them a four-year-old girl and a man aged 90, on the night of <mask>'s death, according to The Observer. There have been 220 deaths in Rafah since the beginning of the intifada. The death of one American gets more attention than the killing of hundreds of Muslims. Bradley Burston, a political columnist for Haaretz, criticized both the pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli sides for their excessive rhetoric and said thatincidental killing is no less tragic than intentional killing. "They had no business being there" is not an excuse for the damage done. We've learned a lot. We're still not there.We should have sent out a spotter or delayed the bulldozer's work to save <mask>'s life.

The judge explained that the death was the result of an accident she brought upon herself. The military area was closed to the public. The area was the site of daily gunfire and IED explosions. There is a travel warning against American citizens visiting the Gaza Strip. The judge ruled that she did not distance herself from the area. The director of the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement between Peoples told the San Francisco Chronicle that the ISM's main purpose is to increase international awareness of Palestinian suffering through the involvement of foreign activists.When Palestinians get shot by Israeli soldiers, no one is interested anymore. "We knew there was a risk, but we also knew it never happened in the two years that we have been working here," stated Joseph Smith, also known as Joseph Carr.

I don't accept the suit. There is no reason for the state to pay damages. Any thinking person would have distanced herself from the area. She put herself in harm's way.

The former UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian Territories said that it was a sad outcome for the family and for the rule of law, but also for the hope that an Israeli court would place limits on the violence. Jimmy Carter of the Carter Center said that the court's decision confirms a climate of impunity, which facilitates Israeli human rights violations against Palestinian civilians.

After ten years of filming adverts, many of which won awards for creativity, he began writing and directing films. He was known for using a wide range of styles. He has directed musicals, true-story dramas, and family dramas. His films won many awards. Birdy was chosen by the National Board of Review as one of the Top Ten Films of 1984 and won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury prize.He was knighted in 2002 for his services to the British film industry. He lectured at various film schools and was a founding member of the Directors Guild of Great Britain. He received the Royal Photographic Society Lumire Award in 2000. The highest honor the British Film Academy can give a director is the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award. The British Film Institute's National Archive received <mask>'s archive in 2015. The son of a dressmaker and a house painter, he was born into a working-class family in North London. It was easy for him to remain defiantly working-class in attitudes because he grew up on a council estate.While his friends were out having fun, he always felt like he was studying for his secondary school exams. He had an "ordinary background" with no desire to become a film director, nor did anyone in his family want to be involved in the film industry. He said that learning photography was the closest he ever came to anything related to films. In his last year at Dame Alice Owen's School, he focused on science. He left school to work in the advertising industry, hoping that it would be a good way to meet girls. His first job was as an office boy at an advertising agency. He said that he wanted to write essays and ads when he got home after work.His colleagues encouraged him to write, which led him to a position as a copywriter in the company. After taking

Puttnam inspired him and helped him write his first film script. By 1968, he had directed many television advertisements. He and <mask> founded a company to make advertisements. The company eventually became one of Britain's best commercial production houses, winning nearly every major national and international award open to it.The UK Cinzano vermouth advertisement, starring Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter, was one of their award-winning adverts. The film director credited his years of writing and directing adverts for his later success as a film director. During the Second World War, the city of London was bombed for 57 nights in a row. "The baby in that film could well have been me, because I was born during one of those bombing raids," he said. He decided to use his own money and funds from his house to cover the cost because he couldn't get financial backing for a feature film. The film was shown on television by the BBC a few years after it was bought. The Evacuees was a Second World War story written by Jack Rosenthal and was shown as a Play for Today.The work was based on true events in which school children were evacuated from central Manchester for protection.

Oliver Stone won his first Academy Award for the script he wrote.Giorgio Moroder was awarded his first Oscar for the film. Both the film and the director were nominated for an Oscar. The success of that film gave him the freedom to make his own films. Fame follows the lives of eight students through their years at the New York City's High School of Performing Arts. A television spin-off series of the same name was created after it was a huge box-office success. After doing a serious drama like Midnight Express, he wanted to do a film with music, but very different from typical musicals of the past: The actress Irene Cara recalls that "the nice thing about the way <mask> works with everyone is that he allowed us to really feel like classmates." The school depicted in the film, the High School for the Performing Arts, was refused permission by the filmmakers because of their fame.The head of the school district told him that he couldn't risk going to New York high school like he did in Turkey. Shoot the Moon is a film about a break-up that takes place in Northern California. It's the first grown-up film that I've done. He explained that he tries to do different work and that he chose to direct a subject distinctly different from his previous film. I think it's a good idea to do different work each time. The film is about two people who can't live together but who also can't let go of one another. A story of fading love, rage, and betrayal in the eyes of the children.The stars of the film received Golden Globe nominations. "It was a painful film to make for me because there were echoes of my own life in it," he said. The children in the story were very close to my own children, and it was about a break up of a marriage. Shoot the Moon was

The film version of the Pink Floyd conceptual rock opera, "Pink Floyd - The Wall" starring Bob Geldof was released in 1982. One of the most miserable experiences of my creative life was the filming.Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage were in Birdy. The story of two school friends who were both psychologically and physically injured in the Vietnam war is told. The book by William Wharton was called a wonderful story by <mask>. He didn't know if he could make a movie out of the poetry of the book or if an audience would want to see it. The film was a success. Richard Schickel says that he had "transcended realism, achieved his personal best, and Birdy was his most mature and perhaps his best movie". The film's message is "joyously life-affirming", which is common to much of the work of the author.He says that <mask>'s films achieve a blend of strong story and elegant frame, a style which he says typically eludes other directors who rely too much on the purely visual. His second Oscar nomination was for Best Director with Mississippi Burning. The film is based on a true story about the murders of three civil rights workers in 1964. The film was nominated for five other Oscars, including Best Picture. It won for best cinematography. The Commitments was a comedy about working class Dubliners who form a soul band. The success of the film led to a sound track album.Most of the estimated 1,200 different bands played in Dublin. He met with many different band members. In order to remain "truthful to the story", he chose young musicians, most of whom had no acting experience. Everyone was cast to be very close to the character that they play in the film. They are not playing outside of who they are. He came from a similar working-class

The film critic observes that with The Commitments, <mask> "showed an unusual fondness for people, place, and music."It was very close to being optimistic. He said that it was the most enjoyable film he had ever made. Madonna, Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Pryce starred in the musical Evita. Tim Rice's score came from the earlier musical. "As far as she was concerned, no one could play Evita as well as she could, and she said that she would sing, dance and act her heart out, and that's exactly what she did." Madonna won the Oscar for Best Original Song for Evita. The film was based on the real-life experiences of the Irish-American teacher, Frank McCourt, and his childhood.His family was forced to move back to Ireland because of financial difficulties, which was caused by his father's alcoholism. The dramatic shift in theme and style of the films was noticed by Colm Meaney, who acted in The Commitments. He said it's the variety of his work that upsets him. He can go from Evita to the other side of the world. He says that when <mask> starts a project, it will be something very interesting and completely out of left field. He said that doing a story like Ashes was his reaction against a big film. He said that he tried to avoid the "obvious movies".It seems to me that making just another movie is the greatest crime. When he visited film schools and spoke to young filmmakers, he told them that the new film technology available for making films and telling a story is less important than conveying a message. The British film critic said that he was a "natural storyteller" who got his message across using "dramatic lighting, vivid characterisation, scenes of violent conflict regularly interrupt sections of expository dialogue, and an abiding sympathy for the underprivileged."
