paragraph: K.Flay

paragraph: Kristine Meredith Flaherty (born June 30, 1985), better known as K.Flay, is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and musician. Her debut album "Life as a Dog" was released in 2014, peaking on the "Billboard" Heatseekers Albums chart at number two and "Billboard"s Rap Albums chart at number 14. In 2016, she signed with Interscope Records as the first artist signed to Dan Reynolds' Night Street Records imprint. K.Flay was nominated for two awards at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (for "Every Where Is Some Where"), and Best Rock Song (for "Blood in the Cut").

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Flaherty was born and raised in Wilmette, Illinois. She attended New Trier Township High School. When she was seven, her parents divorced. Her mother remarried soon after, bringing in an extended step-family. She has described herself as a tomboy during childhood, preferring baggier clothing and rejecting "all things girly". When she was 14 years old, Flaherty's father—a guitarist who loved all musical genres—died. Many of her songs are a tribute to him. In 2003, she entered Stanford University in California, pursuing a double major in psychology and sociology. According to Flaherty, many people she met during her time at Stanford influenced her musical style.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2003–2013: Self-released material and RCA Records.

paragraph: K.Flay began her music career in 2003, believing that most hip hop hits on the radio were "simplistic, misogynistic and formulaic". After bragging to a friend that she could write similar songs, she wrote "Blingity Blang Blang", which she described as a "low budget rap parody that contained far too many obscenities". After writing and performing the song, Flaherty realized that she enjoyed writing and recording music. She continued to experiment with music by writing songs and performing and recording them on her computer. She released a mixtape called "Suburban Rap Queen" in 2005, which she produced on her laptop, and began performing.

paragraph: In 2010, K.Flay released her self-titled EP, and in 2011 self-released the mixtape "I Stopped Caring in '96", which she later remarked was a career turning point. K.Flay signed with RCA Records in 2012, releasing two EPs: "Eyes Shut" in 2012, with songs produced by Liam Howlett from the British band The Prodigy, and "What If It Is" in 2013. She parted ways with RCA Records in 2013 because of differences of opinion. Upon leaving RCA Records, she left behind more than 60 songs she had written while signed under RCA Records, but no longer owned the rights to. K.Flay has described her time with RCA Records as similar to "an ill-advised marriage".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2014–2015: "Life as a Dog".

paragraph: In late April 2014, K.Flay announced the release of her album "Life as a Dog", by offering fans the ability to pre-order via PledgeMusic, reaching 196 percent of her initial goal. She wanted the project to be "DIY [and] self-motivated". It was recorded and produced in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, with the final mix produced at San Francisco's Different Fur.

paragraph: "Life as a Dog" was released independently on June 10, 2014. The album reached number 14 on the "Billboard" Rap Albums chart and number 2 on the "Billboard" Heatseekers Albums chart. K.Flay toured extensively once the album was released, including headlining a tour and joining tours with AWOLNATION, Third Eye Blind and Dashboard Confessional in 2014. In 2014 and 2015 she toured Germany, France and other European countries.

paragraph: K.Flay also performed on the Warped Tour in 2014, saying of the experience, "it was almost like an exercise in becoming a better performer".

paragraph: In 2015, K.Flay collaborated with Louis the Child on their song "It's Strange". The single was praised by Taylor Swift, who added "It's Strange" as one of her "Songs That Will Make Life Awesome" list and was featured on the "FIFA 16" soundtrack. The song peaked at number 38 on the "Billboard" Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2016–2018: "Crush Me" and "Every Where Is Some Where".

paragraph: On March 25, 2016, K.Flay released her single "FML".

paragraph: Later that year, on August 9, 2016, K.Flay announced she signed to Night Street Records, a division of Interscope Records. Her EP "Crush Me" was released 10 days later on August 19. The EP's song "Blood in the Cut" appeared on the soundtrack for "", Netflix's original series "BoJack Horseman" (season 4, episode 6), and in a 2017 NFL promo commercial drive.

paragraph: K.Flay's album "Every Where Is Some Where" was released on April 7, 2017. The album's first single, "High Enough", was released in March 2017. She was the opening act for the North American and European legs of Imagine Dragons' Evolve Tour. In September 2017, Flay released the book "Crush Me", a compilation of notes received from fans.

paragraph: At the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, "Blood in the Cut" received a nomination for Best Rock Song and "Every Where Is Some Where" was nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

On March 19, the official music video for "Bad Vibes" was released. On April 29, K.Flay revealed that the new album would be titled "Solutions" and announced the Solutions Tour. The album was released on July 12, 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Musical style and influences.

paragraph: K.Flay has cited Lauryn Hill, M.I.A., Missy Elliott, Metric, Cat Power, Liz Phair, Garbage, Royal Blood, Tame Impala, Shlohmo, OutKast, and Jeremih as influences.

paragraph: Thomas de Beaumont, 6th Earl of Warwick

paragraph: Thomas de Beaumont, 6th Earl of Warwick (1208 – 26 June 1242), Earl of Warwick, Baron of Hocknorton (Hook Norton) and Hedenton, was the son of Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick and Margaret D'Oili. He was also known as Thomas de Henry.

paragraph: Although he had attained his majority at the death of his father, he did not get full possession of the earldom until four years later, when he was girt with the Sword of Knighthood; this took place at Gloucester where the King was spending Whitsuntide. He inherited his uncle's (Henry D'Oili) Oxfordshire estate and owned the Manor of Bewdley, Worcester and rendered service for it, of a fully equipped archer for twenty days, as often as there was war against the Welsh. In 1241, he paid one hundred and eighty marks scutage in order that he might be excused attendance on Henry III of England in the expedition to Gascony. This was in excess of the sum due from him; the following year he paid a further one hundred and twenty marks. At the coronation of Eleanor of Provence, the Queen Consort of Henry III, on 26 June, 1236 he bore the third Sword of State, claiming that it was his hereditary right to do so.

paragraph: He married Ela Longespee, daughter of William Longespée, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, natural son to Henry II. Amongst Ela's benefactions were grants to the monks at Reading, Berkshire, the Canons of Osney, Oxfordshire, St Sepulchre's, Warwick, the grey friars in London, and the Nuns of Godstow, Oxford. In 1295, she gave land to the University of Oxford, from which a certain amount of the income was to be paid to the fellows of Merton College that they might perform masses for her soul.

paragraph: Nasr II

paragraph: Nasr ibn Ahmad or Nasr II (), nicknamed "the Fortunate", was the ruler ("amir") of Transoxiana and Khurasan as the head of the Samanid dynasty from 914 to 943. His reign marked the high point of the Samanid dynasty's fortunes. He was the son of Ahmad ibn Isma’il.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Nasr became amir at the age of eight following his father's assassination in January of 914. Due to his youth, his prime minister Abu Abdallah Jayhani undertook the regency. Almost immediately a series of revolts broke out within the state, the most serious being the one led by his great-uncle Ishaq ibn Ahmad. Ishaq's sons took part in the rebellion; one son, Abu Salih Mansur, took control of Nishapur and several other cities in Khurasan. Eventually, Ishaq was captured, while Abu Salih Mansur died in Nishapur.

paragraph: Nasr's ascension also brought instability to the peripheries of the Samanid state. The Abbasids managed to recover Sistan for the last time, while Ray and Tabaristan were taken by the Alid Hasan al-Utrush. Despite being unable to recover the provinces, the Samanids employed numerous local Dailamite and Gilite leaders and remained active in the struggles there.

paragraph: In 919, the governor of Khurasan, Husayn ibn Ali Marvarrudhi, rebelled against Samanid authority. Nasr responded by sending an army under Ahmad ibn Sahl to suppress the rebellion, which the latter managed to accomplish. After a few weeks, however, Ahmad shortly rebelled himself at Nishapur, made incursions into the Samanid city of Gurgan, and then fortified himself in Merv to avoid a Samanid counter-attack. Nevertheless, the Samanid general Hamuya ibn Ali managed to lure Ahmad out of Merv, and defeated him in a battle at Marw al-Rudh. Ahmad was captured during the battle and imprisoned in Bukhara, where he remained until his death in 920. In 921, the Zaydids under the Dailamite general Lili ibn al-Nu'man invaded Khorasan, but were defeated by the Simjurid general Simjur al-Dawati.

paragraph: In 922, Abu Abdallah Jayhani was removed as prime minister by Nasr, it is not known if this was on account of his suspected Shi’i beliefs. He was replaced by Abu'l-Fadl al-Bal'ami, who for the most part continued his predecessor's policies. In 928, Asfar ibn Shiruya, a Dailamite military leader, who now served the Samanids, conquered Tabaristan and Ray. One year later, Nasr had his commander Muhammad ibn Ilyas imprisoned after angering him.

paragraph: He was, however, shortly freed after receiving the support of Nasr's vizier Bal'ami and was sent on a campaign in Gurgan.

paragraph: In 930 a revolt by Nasr's brothers broke out. They proclaimed one of their own, Yahya, as "amir". Bal’ami managed to quell the rebellion by turning the brothers against each other. Another Dailamite military leader, Makan ibn Kaki, used this opportunity the seize Tabaristan and Gurgan from the Samanids, and even take possession of Nishapur in western Khurasan. He was, however, forced to abandon these regions one year later, due to the threat that Samanids posed. Makan then returned to Tabaristan, where he was defeated by the Ziyarid Mardavij, who managed to conquer the region. He then took refuge in Khorasan, and was appointed by Nasr as the governor of Kirman.

paragraph: A threat of mobilization by Nasr in 933 prompted Mardavij, who had become the dominant power in the region, to surrender Gurgan and pay tribute for his possession of Ray. One year later, Nasr sent Makan against Muhammad ibn Ilyas, who had mutinied against the Samanids. Muhammad attempted to gain the support of the Abbasid general Yaqut but failed, was defeated by Makan and forced to flee. Mardavij was assassinated by his Turkish slaves in 935 and was succeeded by his brother Vushmgir.

paragraph: Makan, after having heard of Mardavij's assassination at the hands of his own Turkish slaves, immediately left Kirman, secured his appointment as governor of Gurgan from Nasr, and with the support of Samanid troops tried to recover Tabaristan. Vushmgir managed to repel the attack and even conquer Gurgan, but Buyid pressure on his western flank forced him to reach a settlement, recognizing Samanid overlordship and ceding Gurgan to Makan. Samanid armies from that point on were heavily involved in protecting the Ziyarids from the Buyids, who were rising in central Persia. In 938, a son of Abu Abdallah Jayhani, Abu Ali Jayhani was appointedas prime minister, a post he held until 941.

paragraph: During the same period, relations between Makan and Vushmgir improved to the point where they declared independence against the Samanids. As a result, in 939, Nasr sent a Samanid army under Abu 'Ali Chaghani which attacked Makan at Gurgan. Following a seven-month siege of his capital, Makan was forced to flee to Ray. The Samanid army pursued him, and in a battle fought on 25 December 940 at Iskhabad near Ray, the Samanid forces were victorious. Makan himself was killed by an arrow, and then beheaded by the victors, who sent his head to Nasr in Bukhara.

paragraph: Section::::Cultural affairs.

paragraph: Nasr's ministers helped turn the Samanid court into a cultural center. Jayhani was known as an author and wrote a geographical work. His interest in the subject caused him to invite geographers from many places to Bukhara. Scientists, astronomers, and others also flocked to the city. Bal’ami likewise was interested in the arts and patronized intellectuals and authors.

paragraph: Section::::Abdication.

paragraph: In 943 several Samanid army officers, angry at Nasr's support of Isma’ili missionaries, formed a conspiracy to murder the "amir". Nasr's son Nuh, however, learned of the plan. He went to a banquet designed to organize the plot and decapitated their leader. To placate the other officers, he promised to stop the Isma’ili missionaries from continuing their activities. Nasr was then convinced by Nuh to abdicate; he died shortly after of tuberculosis on 6 April 943.

paragraph: William Bliss Baker

paragraph: William Bliss Baker (November 27, 1859 – November 20, 1886) was an American artist who began painting just as the Hudson River School was winding down. Baker began his studies in 1876 at the National Academy of Design, where he studied with Bierstadt and de Haas. He later maintained studios in Clifton Park, New York; and New York City, where he painted in oils and watercolors. He completed more than 130 paintings, including several in black and white.

paragraph: At age 26, Baker was just beginning to hit his stride as a landscape painter when he died at his father's house at Hoosick Falls, New York. "The New York Times" said that his death "deprived America of one of its most promising artists."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life and family.

paragraph: Baker was born November 27, 1859, in New York City, the son of Yale alumnus Benjamin Franklin Baker (b. 1834) and Harriette Luisa Bayeux (married 1857). Harriette was descended from well-to-do Huguenots who moved from France to New York before the American Revolutionary War. Benjamin's father was Ellis Baker (1793–1873), director of the Albany City Bank, Albany Mutual Insurance Company, and People's Line Steamboats, as well as founder of Albany Rural Cemetery and Albany Hospital. He also operated stagecoach lines from Albany to Boston as well as north and west of Albany.

paragraph: Benjamin served during the American Civil War as a colonel in the 43rd Regiment of the New York State Volunteers. Later, he commanded the Light Division of Sixth Corps (part of the Army of the Potomac) as a Brevet Brigadier General. He was noted for his bravery during the charge at Marye's Heights during the Battle of Fredericksburg. After the war, he joined the Loyal Legion, then served as a member of the New York State Assembly from 1880 to 1882.

paragraph: William's best-known brother was Captain Guy Ellis Baker (b. 1858), who married Louisa Irene Palma Di Cesnola, daughter of Civil War Medal of Honor recipient General Louis Palma di Cesnola. His other brothers included Benjamin Henry (b. 1869), George Clinton (b. 1872), and Ashley Bayeux (b. 1877). Baker spent much of his boyhood in the town of Ballston Spa, and his family discovered and purchased the property where he would build his summer studio, "The Castle", on the shores Ballston Lake.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Study and career.

paragraph: For four years beginning in 1876, Baker studied at the National Academy of Design, where he studied with Albert Bierstadt and Mauritz F. H. de Haas. In 1879, he won the Elliott prize during his first exhibit. In 1885, Baker won the Hallgarten Prize for his "Woodland Brook".

paragraph: By 1881, Baker had built a summer studio named "The Castle" on the east side of Ballston Lake in the town of Clifton Park, north of Albany, New York. The studio was designed to have excellent views of the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains, and had excellent natural lighting. The Clifton Park Historic Preservation Commission awarded "The Castle" its Historic Designation plaque, and a "Clifton Park Register of Historic Places" sign also marks the studio property. The home is now a private residence, and it is not open to the public. Baker also had a studio in the Knickerbocker Building in New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death.

paragraph: Baker was just beginning to hit his stride as a landscape painter in the Realism movement when he died on November 20, 1886 at the age of 26 of a cold at his father's house at Hoosick Falls, New York, after sustaining injuries while ice skating. His final work was "Meadow Brook". Baker completed over 130 paintings during his career.

paragraph: A contemporary art critic said that his death was "a distinct loss to American art" and the "New York Times" stated that his death "deprived America of one of its most promising artists."

paragraph: He is buried in a family plot in Albany Rural Cemetery in Menands, New York (see image, right).

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: "Fallen Monarchs", considered to be Baker's masterpiece, was painted in 1886 in the Ballston Lake area. The original is owned by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where it hangs in the BYU Museum of Art. A small copy of this painting hangs in the public library in the town of Ballston. His 1883 painting, "A Pleasant Day at Lake George" hangs in the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake, New York.

paragraph: Another of his paintings, "Morning After the Snow", sold for $5,000 in 1887 (the equivalent of about $109,000 in 2006 dollars). "Morning" and an additional 129 of his paintings sold at that auction for a combined total of nearly $15,000 (almost $360,000 in 2010 dollars).

paragraph: While Baker is relatively unknown to the general public, he was well known to art critics of the day and was considered "one of the leading landscape painters of America". He is considered to be part of the Hudson River School.

paragraph: Baker "rapidly ascended to the head of his profession" by the age of 25. His landscapes were variously described as "characteristic[ally] American" and "true character studies in which varieties of vegetation and the varying influence of light and weather were identified with amazing skill." One critic in 1883 described the black and white work "Morning in the Meadows" as "brilliant" though perhaps too detailed.

paragraph: Regarding his death, "The New York Times" said it "deprived America of one of its most promising artists."

paragraph: Isaac Aboab da Fonseca

paragraph: Isaac Aboab da Fonseca (or Isaak Aboab Foonseca) (February 1, 1605 – April 4, 1693) was a rabbi, scholar, kabbalist and writer. In 1656, he was one of several elders within the Portuguese-Israelite community in the Netherlands who excommunicated Baruch Spinoza for the statements this philosopher made concerning the nature of God.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Isaac Aboab da Fonseca was born in the Portuguese town of Castro Daire as Simão da Fonseca. His parents were Marranos, Jews who had been forcibly converted to Christianity. Although the family had ostensibly converted to Christianity, this did not put an end to local antisemitic suspicions. When Isaac was seven, the family moved to Amsterdam. From that moment on, the family "reconverted" back to Judaism, and Isaac was raised Jewish from that moment on. Together with Manasseh ben Israel, he was given lessons by the scholar Isaac Uziel.

paragraph: At the age of eighteen, Isaac was appointed rabbi ("chacham") for Beth Israel, one of three Sephardic communities which existed at that point in Amsterdam.

paragraph: In 1642, Aboab da Fonseca was appointed rabbi at Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue in Recife, in the then Dutch colony of Pernambuco, Brazil, a city which was occupied by the Dutch in 1624 (see Dutch Brazil, Jews in Pernambuco). Most of the European inhabitants of the town after the Dutch occupation were Sephardic Jews, originally from Portugal, but who had first emigrated to Amsterdam due to persecution by the Portuguese Inquisition. They then helped colonize this new Dutch colony at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. By becoming the rabbi of the Portuguese Jewish community in Recife, Aboab da Fonseca was also probably the first appointed rabbi of the Americas. Kahal Zur Israel congregation here had a synagogue, a mikveh and a yeshiva as well. Still during Fonseca's tenure as rabbi in Pernambuco, the Portuguese re-occupied the capital of Recife in 1654, after a struggle of nine years. Fonseca then managed to return to Amsterdam after the loss of the new colony to the Portuguese. Some members of his community immigrated to North America and were among the founders of New Amsterdam.

paragraph: Back in Amsterdam, Aboab da Fonseca was appointed Chief Rabbi for the Sephardic community. In 1656, he was one of several scholars who excommunicated the famous philosopher Baruch Spinoza. During the reign of Aboab da Fonseca, the community flourished; the Portuguese synagogue (the Esnoga) was inaugurated on August 2, 1675 (10 "Av" 5435).

paragraph: Isaac Aboab da Fonseca died in Amsterdam on April 4, 1693, at the age of 88.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In 2007, the Jerusalem Institute (Machon Yerushalaim) in Israel published a book about Rabbi Fonseca's works, including the author's expositions about the community of Recife at that time. The book is called "Chachamei Recife V'Amsterdam", or "The Sages of Recife and Amsterdam".

paragraph: Hannah Maria Jones

paragraph: Hannah Maria Jones (1784? – 1854) was a British novelist.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Jones' early life is unclear. She is thought to have been born in 1784 although later dates have been suggested. She married a Mr Jones and in the 1820s she published "Gretna Green" (1820), "The British Officer" (1821); "The Wedding Ring" (1824), "The Forged Note" (1824) and "The Victim of Fashion" (1825). Jones made little money from this work although she was able to look after her husband who was ill. However the facts are from application to the Royal Literary Fund and may therefore be exaggerated.

paragraph: Jones most successful work was a trilogy about gypsies. It is thought that Jones may not have received the money she deserved from these books and other more successful authors like Ellen Pickering published similar works.

paragraph: Jones started to live with another writer named John Lownes and although they never married she used his surname. Their frequent and sometimes dubious applications to the Royal Literary funds became well known.

paragraph: John Hearne (lawyer)

paragraph: John J. Hearne (Waterford, 1893Dublin, 29 March 1969) was an Irish legal scholar and diplomat whose role in the drafting of the 1937 Constitution of Ireland was so important that he was referred to as "Ireland's Thomas Jefferson".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: John Hearne was the youngest son of Alderman Richard Hearne, a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party, who twice served as Mayor of Waterford and Alice Mary née Power. His older brother Canon Maurice Hearne served as parish priest in Cahir.

paragraph: Hearne attended Waterpark College (Christian Brothers). He went to train for the priesthood at St. John's College, Waterford transferring in 1911 to Maynooth College after a year. Here he completed a BA degree in Arts and Philosophy from National University of Ireland, enrolling in a Theology Degree which he didn't complete. He left in 1916 having decided not to become a priest, and studied for the degree of barrister at law at the King's Inns.

paragraph: He also studied law at University College Dublin being awarded an LLB Degree.

paragraph: In 1937, during the government of Éamon de Valera, he was working as a legal expert in the Department of External Affairs when de Valera called on him to assist in the writing of the new constitution, which would replace the 1922 Constitution of the Irish Free State. With Maurice Gerard Moynihan, Hearne drew up the first draft of the constitution; according to Moynihan, Hearne had been instrumental in convincing de Valera that a new constitution was necessary in the first place. The exact role of Hearne is not evident from the remaining documents; it is not clear who actually wrote the first draft, and according to the Irish historian John Joseph Lee, "Much remains to be uncovered about the planning and drafting of the constitution, including not least the roles of John Hearne, the legal adviser to External Affairs, and of Maurice Moynihan."

paragraph: After his legal career, Hearne filled a number of diplomatic positions. In 1939, he was appointed High Commissioner to Canada. In March 1950, he became the first Irish ambassador to the United States, and was welcomed in Boston on 13 May 1950. He began the tradition of presenting a bowl of shamrock to the White House on St Patrick's Day. In 1954, he gave the commencement address at Boston College, and on that occasion was awarded with an honorary degree. In 1960, after retiring from the diplomatic service, he became a legislative consultant to Nigeria and Ghana, which had recently acquired independence, albeit within the Commonwealth.

paragraph: He died in Dublin in 1969. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Irish constitution, Hearne's birthplace (8 William Street in Waterford) was marked with a tribute.

paragraph: A biography of Hearne, "John Hearne: Architect of the 1937 Constitution of Ireland" by Eugene Broderick was published in 2017.

paragraph: His work gained him considerable respect.

paragraph: In 1903 Paul de Rousiers became secretary-general of the French shipowners' association, a position he held for most of the rest of his life.

paragraph: This is where Paul spent his childhood.

paragraph: After the death of his father in 1865 he entered the Jesuit college in Poitiers and obtained his baccalauréat in 1872.

paragraph: He then prepared for the examination for admission to the Naval School in Brest, which he failed twice.

paragraph: De Rousiers pursued his study of law and obtained a license, and also worked in 1877 as chief of staff to the prefect of Aveyron, while continuing to study social science.

paragraph: His theoretical apprenticeship ended with the publication in 1881 of the "Programme de gouvernement et d'organisation sociale d'après l'observation comparée des divers peuples", with a preface by Le Play. This was a collective work by the small group led by Demolins.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Social economist.

paragraph: Paul de Rousiers married Camille d'Artigues in May 1879.

paragraph: He joined the Société d'économie sociale and the Unions de la paix sociale, and from this time was committed to development of social science.

paragraph: From 1883 he became a regular contributor to "Réforme sociale", a bi-monthly journal edited by Demolins.

paragraph: The term "social geography" was first used both by geographer Élisée Reclus and by sociologists of the Le Play School, perhaps independently.

paragraph: The first proven occurrence of the term derives from a review of Reclus' "Nouvelle géographie universelle" from 1884, written by Paul de Rousiers, a member of the Le Play School.

paragraph: In 1885, three years after the death of Le Play, Henri de Tourville and Demolins split from the movement and founded a new journal, "Science sociale".

paragraph: They brought with them a few adherents including de Rousiers and Robert Pinot (1862–1926), future director of the Musée social and secretary-general of the Comité des forges.

paragraph: De Rousiers continued to work within this small group, which functioned as a true research team.

paragraph: The publisher Firmin-Didot provided funding for Paul de Rousiers to visit the United States from March to June 1890.

paragraph: He wrote of what he found in "La Vie américaine" (1892), an analysis of American society based on deliberate investigation including visits to factories and farms, observations of life in the cities and countryside, and interviews with representatives of different social groups including owners, workers, politicians, officials and professionals.

paragraph: His goal was to understand the sociological forces behind the growing economic power of the US, which was starting to cause serious concern in Europe.

paragraph: De Rousiers interviewed George Pullman, who exerted huge control over the workforce who lived in his Pullman City.

paragraph: He wrote of Pullman's manufacturing complex, "Everything is done in order and with precision. One feels that some brain of superior intelligence, backed by a long technical experience, has thought out every possible detail."

paragraph: The book appeared in English in 1892, translated by the geographer Andrew John Herbertson.

paragraph: In 1893 de Rousiers made two visits of four months to England and Scotland, then to Belfast, where in September 1893 he participated in a trade union congress.

paragraph: As in America, he made many observations, particularly in Birmingham, London and the Scottish Lothians, visited factories and mines, and interviewed workers, industrialists, union leaders and intellectuals such as Sidney Webb.

paragraph: Based his investigation he produced a major work on "La question ouvrière en Angleterre" (1895), translated as " The Labour Question in Britain" (1896).

paragraph: "Le Trade-unionisme en Angleterre" (1896) was a collective work that Paul de Rousiers organized at the request of the directors of the Musée social.

paragraph: Robert Pinot, the effective leader of the Musée and a close friend of de Rousiers, had placed him at the head of a team of four pupils of the École Libre des Sciences Politiques who conducted inquiries in September and October 1895.

paragraph: The Musée social supported a second study on the same subject in the US from July to December 1896.

paragraph: De Rousiers led a team that included F. de Carbonnel, Pierre Claudio-Jannet and Louis Vigouroux.

paragraph: He then investigated the Comptoir métallurgique de Longwy, formed in 1877 by the main enterprises of Lorraine to coordinate purchase and allocation of pig iron.

paragraph: Based on this research he published "Les Syndicats industriels de producteurs en France et à l'étranger" (1901).

paragraph: His last important work about industrial relations was "Hambourg et l'Allemagne contemporaine" (1902).

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Lobbyist.

paragraph: Édouard Gruner, mining engineer and vice-president of the Comité central des houillères, was an active member of the Société d'économie sociale and secretary-treasurer of the Musée social.

paragraph: He had already introduced Robert Pinot to the metallurgy manufacturers who were looking for a leader for their trade association, and did the same for de Rousiers by putting him in contact with the shipbuilders, who wanted to found a professional association.

paragraph: De Rousiers was engaged in 1903 by André Lebon, former minister of Commerce and then of the Colonies, and first president of the Comité central des armateurs de France (CCAF: Central Committee of French Shipowners).

paragraph: De Rousiers was secretary-general and vice-president-delegate of the committee.

paragraph: He now had stable employment that allowed him to rebuild his family home in Rhus and provide education to his five children.

paragraph: The CCAF was an owners' association typical of the time with the purpose of studying and defending the common interests of the shipowners.

paragraph: Within a year it represented 98% of the industry.

paragraph: De Rousiers quickly established a service to gather French and foreign information, which he described in March 1910,

paragraph: The information service and a legal section both were frequently consulted by the shipowners.

paragraph: With his considerable intellectual authority, de Rousiers was an effective defender of the interests of the shipowners and contributed to discussions on legislative project.

paragraph: At times he was criticized for being too effective in his lobbying.

paragraph: During World War I (1914–18) there was an enforced truce between the shipowners and the labor unions, with the state as mediator.

paragraph: As soon as the Armistice was declared the shipowners, led by the Committee, reasserted their independence in negotiating wages.

paragraph: De Rousiers justified this position,

paragraph: In 1923 the "Société d'études et d'informations économiques", formed by the Comité des forges, published studies by de Rousiers defending "good" agreements.

paragraph: De Rousiers represented the shipowners in the Standing Joint Committee on Merchant Shipping, established in 1925, which had the purpose of examining issues that could cause conflicts between owner and workers.

paragraph: He also represented the owners on the Joint International Maritime Committee led by Albert Thomas, which sought to establish international status for seafarers.

paragraph: He participated in the International Maritime Conferences organized by the International Labor Office in Genoa (1920) and Geneva (1926), where the main interlocutor was Havelock Wilson of Britain, head of the International Federation of Seafarers' Unions.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Other activities.

paragraph: After the death of Tourville in 1903 and Demolins in 1907 he assumed leadership of the "Science sociale" group.

paragraph: He also presided over the École des Roches that Demolins had founded which sought to apply the lessons of social science to educational reform.

paragraph: From 1908 he held a seat in economic geography at the École libre des sciences politiques.

paragraph: His name was given to the general cargo ship "Paul de Rousiers", built in 1942 by the Chantiers de Provence in Port-de-Bouc.

paragraph: Section::::Theories.

paragraph: In "La Vie américaine" Paul de Rousiers distinguished the west, with its ranches, farms and towns that were no more than farm markets, from the east with its manufactures, commerce and city life. He saw them as two successive states of the same society, with the west helping to explain the east.

paragraph: De Rousiers, who inspired the revolutionary syndicalist Georges Sorel with this work, wrote that the American aristocracy stressed ability and discouraged mediocrity, even among their own children.

paragraph: They were much more concerned with helping those with ability than with preventing the incompetent from dying of hunger.

paragraph: He wrote that every American feels himself capable of trying his luck on the battlefield of business, so that the general spirit of the country is in complete harmony with that of the millionaires.

paragraph: In his 1898 "Les Industries monopolisées (trusts) aux Etats-Unis" Paul de Rousiers noted that Americans at the time were too easily persuaded that monopolies must bring large benefits, although the whiskey and rope trusts had been short-lived and the sugar trust depended on protective tariffs and high payments to politicians.

paragraph: He thought that the German cartels and American trusts were similar and were designed to avoid lowering of prices de to overproduction.

paragraph: He wrote that when several producers realized their common interests they would inevitably form a highly disciplined association that would defend their interests as long as they followed its instructions.

paragraph: He contrasted the German cartel to the American trust, writing,

paragraph: In "La question ouvrière en Angleterre" (1895) de Rousiers describes a process common to all economically advanced societies of constant advances in mechanization, changes in industrial job requirements and changes to markets, and examines how the different branches of industry are affected by the changes, and how the workers react.

paragraph: While he was in Britain there was a miners' strike.

paragraph: In the conclusion of his work he outlines a concept of syndicalism, with organizations independent of workers and owners that would favor the evolution of industry and solve the "labor question".

paragraph: The way in which the strike was resolved through a conciliation board chaired by a third party seemed to him to foreshadow this new approach.

paragraph: In "Les Syndicats industriels de producteurs en France et à l'étranger" (1901) de Rousiers commented favorably on the role of syndicates of manufacturers in regulating the markets, which he saw as beneficial both economically and socially.

paragraph: Paul de Rousiers was sympathetic to trade unions but thought they should focus on adapting to the constantly evolving industrial economy.

paragraph: He saw danger in their participation in political and ideological struggles, and in development of rigid attitudes and approaches.

paragraph: These themes were repeated and elaborated in "Le Trade-unionisme en Angleterre" (1896).

paragraph: This book led Georges Sorel to emphasise the importance of the unions in his "L'Avenir socialiste des syndicats" (1898).

paragraph: In "Hambourg et l'Allemagne contemporaine" (1902) de Rousiers criticized the German labour movement, which he considered poorly organized and influenced too much by social democracy and the class struggle. He also criticized the owners who, by their paternalism, had hindered formation of autonomous trade unions with an élite of workers capable of directing them.

paragraph: Captain Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford KG (22 February 1800 – 25 August 1870) was the son of Francis Seymour-Conway, 3rd Marquess of Hertford and Maria Seymour-Conway, Marchioness of Hertford.

paragraph: Although Lord Hertford was born in England, he was brought up in Paris by his mother who had become estranged from his father.

paragraph: He served as a British MP in the 1820s, but he spent most of his life in Paris, in a large apartment in the city and, from 1848, at the Château de Bagatelle, a small country house in the Bois de Boulogne on the outskirts. When shown the extent of his Irish possessions, he is reported to have replied, "Well, I see it for the first time, and pray God! for the last time." His English residences were Hertford House in Manchester Square, London, now home to the Wallace Collection, and Ragley Hall, which still belongs to the family.

paragraph: According to the Goncourts, Lord Hertford was "a complete, absolute, unashamed monster" who once proudly declared that "when I die I shall at least have the consolation of knowing that I have never rendered anyone a service." He died in 1870, aged 70 in Paris, unmarried and without legitimate issue, and his titles passed to his distant cousin Francis Seymour.

paragraph: Section::::Art collection.

paragraph: Manchester House (as Hertford House was originally known) was let until 1850 as the French embassy, but from 1852 was used principally to house items from Hertford's art collection. He was an important art collector, the main founder of the Wallace Collection, named after his illegitimate son and secretary, Sir Richard Wallace, 1st Baronet, to whom he left it and as much property as was not entailed.
