<mask> (1909 – 23 July 1994), born <mask>, was a socialist and feminist based in Brisbane, Australia, who was most active between the 1950s and the 1980s. Raised in Austria and a member of several leftist political organisations in her youth, <mask> escaped Nazi occupied Austria in 1939, eventually migrating to Australia. Goldner remained involved in local and international politics and joined the Communist Party of Australia (CPA), marrying fellow member <mask> in 1944. Throughout her career <mask> was an active member of the CPA, and the Union of Australian Women (UAW), where she was heavily involved in International Women's Day campaigns, including attending the 1975 UN World Conference on Women in Mexico celebrating International Women's Year. <mask> was also an active member of the Women's Electoral Lobby (WEL), the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). She was passionate about childcare issues, and through her political work clashed particularly with conservative Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Early life and young adulthood
Born in Austria in 1909 to Jewish parents, <mask> was aware of fascism and anti-Semitism from early in her life.She was a Communist militant in her youth and as a member of International Red Aid, a Communist organisation established to provide aid to 'class-war' political prisoners, she worked to help victims of fascism. Goldner and her mother, as leftist Jewish women, were forced to flee Austria in 1939 following the Nazi occupation of Austria, migrating to Australia after some time in England. Goldner, a dressmaker and fashion designer by trade, became involved with the left in her new home where she attended her first International Women's Day meeting the same year she arrived. She attributed that meeting to inspiring much of her later political activism. Goldner soon became a member of the Communist Party of Australia, where, at a performance by the Unity Theatre Group, she met her husband <mask>, a returned soldier and fellow communist and political activist. They married in 1944 in Brisbane and had one child, a daughter, named Barbara. Politics

Communist Party of Australia
During her life in Australia, <mask> was heavily involved in the Communist Party of Australia.A communist in her youth in Austria, it was natural for <mask> to seek out like-minded people when she escaped the Nazis for Australia. Through her involvement with the CPA, <mask> met and married her husband Ted, who served as the Secretary for the Queensland Branch of the CPA for some time. Ted and <mask> were heavily involved in the CPA as shown by the hundreds of leaflets, pamphlets, typed speeches, and letters from protest, rallies, events, and meetings contained in their personal Archive. While <mask> insisted that her Communist leanings did not affect her work with other political groups such as the UAW, it is clear that her involvement in the CPA had a negative impact on her reliability in other areas of her life. Right-wing politicians such as Joh Bjelke-Petersen drew connections between her involvement with the two groups to try and discredit the UAW as a Communist organisation. <mask> was a member of the Central Committee of the CPA since 1948 by her own account, and she and Ted remained committed members throughout their lives. Joh Bjelke-Petersen
Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen was the Premier of Queensland from 8 August 1968 – 1 December 1987 who personally objected to <mask>'s political activities and her membership of the Communist Party.His attitude towards political activists, and groups such as the Union of Australian Women was paternalistic: “...all these protest groups consist of the hard-core activists who hide behind the gullible, the naive and the well-meaning.” On the subject of Joh Bjelke-Petersen, <mask> has been quoted as saying “I believe Mr Bjelke-Petersen in using my personal political commitment is trying to enlist support for his anti-democratic policies”. The Bjelke-Petersen government's ‘censorship laws’ were designed to limit the impact of the CPA in Queensland by censoring the publication of positive content about the organisation in the media, instead promoting negative perceptions of the group, and all the organisations with which it was associated. The Queensland government's ‘obscenity’ laws also restricted the promotion or dissemination of sexually orientated information even if it was educational. The Women's Liberation Movement's pamphlet ‘Female Sexuality and Education’ was considered to be obscene by Bjelke-Petersen, and was confiscated from the Brisbane offices of Communist Party of Australia by the ‘State Licensing Branch’ of the Queensland Police Department at 5 p.m. on Friday 8 October 1971. Women's rights

Union of Australian Women
The Union of Australian Women was, and in Victoria remains, a feminist activist organisation that relies on letter writing, petitions, marches and demonstrations to gain its objectives. Some of these objectives were as follows:
      to achieve and maintain an enhanced status for women
      to obtain higher living standards for all
      for the government to improve the welfare of its citizens
	for public infrastructure to be shared by all (regardless of gender or race)
	the right for women to work
	to obtain fertility control
	for the equality of indigenous Australians
	to oppose the White Australia Policy

As an older organisation, it has had to change some of its goals over time, whilst maintaining its primary aims. This was evident for <mask> during the 1970s as she has spoken of the introduction of the notion that “the ‘personal’ is political”, and ‘sexual politics’ taking three years for the organisation to fully support.Her struggle with this shift was due to the move away from the economic and general political struggles that the UAW had previously focused on as the way to gain equality with men. As a member of the Union of Australian Women, <mask> involved herself in numerous activities including writing for the UAW's magazine, Our Women, as well as working on books such as Uphill all the way: A Documentary History of Women in Australia. Her involvement in the Indigenous rights movement is acknowledged by the National Museum of Australia. Although believed to be a faction of the Communist Party of Australia by the Premier of Queensland at the time, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, the Union of Australian Women has always maintained its independence from the CPA. International Women's Day
<mask> attended her first International Women's Day (IWD) meeting in 1939, not long after she migrated to Australia. She became heavily involved in IWD activities after her involvement with the UAW began, and acted as the International Women's Day Committee secretary for the UAW between 1951 and 1974. In 1958 <mask> was involved in with the UAW's International Women's Year celebrations which drew a crowd of hundreds to hear speakers Dymphna Cusak and Dame Sybil Thorndike, a celebration which also addressed women’s influence on history, socialism, and world peace.Eleanor Roosevelt sent a message about this meeting to the UAW, among others. In 1960 <mask> coordinated a visit to Australia by Madam Chao Feng of the National Women’s Federation of China and Madame Roesijati R. Sukardi, a journalist with the Indonesian Women’s Organisation to attend IWD meetings nationally. As Australia did not recognise China at the time, the UAW set about obtaining visas for the visitors and were delayed to the point that Feng and Sukardi could not attend several of their appointed meetings. According to personal anecdotes, <mask> was most proud of her involvement in the UWA's program for reviving the IWD celebrations in Australia following World War II. She encouraged women to join marches and demonstrations on IWD's official date of 8 March and 'saw IWD as a campaign, needing work almost all the year round with 8 March as the highlight, rather than a one-day function.' International Women's Year 1975
The United Nations marked 1975 as International Women's Year (IWY) and declared the Decade for Women covering 1976–1985. In this year a World Conference on Women was held in Mexico for international government representatives to take part in and a Tribune simultaneously for other groups and interested parties attended by women from all over the world to come together and discuss women’s issues and women’s rights.As her involvement with International Women’s Day events was so strong at home, <mask> was invited to attend as a delegate to the Tribune by the Australian Government who invested over $3 million into the 1974–1976 budgets for International Women’s Year activities. <mask> was the only representative from Queensland chosen to take part in the Tribune, taking part as a member and on behalf of the UAW according to official papers found in her personal Archive, along with Government documents and documents from the Australian Embassy in Mexico confirming her involvement. Childcare
Throughout her activist career <mask> lobbied for children’s rights and for the establishment of appropriate childcare facilities through every party she was involved in. During the 1950s <mask> traveled back to Europe to attend conferences on motherhood and childcare, and in 1967 through the UAW <mask> lobbied for after school and work based child care for mothers, arguing to the Queensland Government that these were legitimate concerns for mothers and children. Through her work with the UAW, <mask> was involved in the establishment of a childcare centre at the University of Queensland in 1971. The Eva and <mask> Archive Collection
The Fryer Library at the University of Queensland holds one of the most extensive collections of archival material documenting Left-wing and radical activism in Brisbane and statewide. The collection includes publications, literature and personal archives of key groups and figures of the movement including that of <mask> and <mask>.The <mask> archive was donated in the late 1980s in the hope of protecting the documents in the face of a still heavily anti-communist public sphere. Additions were continually made until 1999 when Ted's brother, on behalf of the deceased couple, compiled the last of their work and the Fryer archive became officially available for academic use. The <mask> and <mask> collection consists of a wide range of publications, photos and other literature as well as a series of hand-written notes, research and drafted political theses.

<mask> (; 8 June 188522 November 1944), better known as "Princess" <mask>, and also known as Elisabeth Antoinette White after her marriage to Thaddeus C. White, was a Hanjun bannerwoman, the daughter of  and Louisa Pierson, the half-Chinese daughter of a Boston merchant working in Shanghai. Although not a member of the Qing royal family, <mask> was given the title of Princess while serving as the first lady-in-waiting for Empress Dowager Cixi. She was a writer of several memoirs, books, and magazine articles. Early life

<mask>'s father Yü Keng was a member of the Hanjun Plain White Banner Corps, and according to his daughter he was a Lord. This is of some doubt. After serving as Chinese minister to Japan, he was appointed minister to the French Third Republic for four years in 1899. He was known for his progressive, reformist views; for his determination to educate his children, including the girls, in western schools, which was highly unusual in their generation; and for his unvarying support of the Empress Dowager Cixi.In 1905, Yü Keng died in Shanghai. According to <mask>'s biographer, <mask>'s mother, Louisa Pierson, was the daughter of a Boston-born American and a Chinese woman. However, in the book, whatever her background, she is repeatedly referred to by other people as a Manchu. Yü Keng's daughters <mask> and Roung <mask> (1889–1973, the future Madame Dan Pao-tchao of Peking) received a western education, learning French and English, and studying dance in Paris with Isadora Duncan. <mask> was a Catholic baptised by the French bishop Alphonse Favier. While a young girl, she travelled with her father to Rome, and received papal blessing by the hand of Pope Leo XIII during a private meeting. Lady-in-waiting and later life
Upon their return to China, <mask> became the first lady-in-waiting to the Empress Dowager Cixi, as well as interpreting for her when she received foreign visitors.<mask> stayed at court until March 1905. In 1907, <mask> married Thaddeus C. White, an American. <mask> had a brother, John Yu Shuinling, who studied photography in France and later took the only photographs of Empress Dowager Cixi still in existence. Using the title of Princess, which would create controversy for her in both China and the United States in the future, <mask> wrote of her experiences in court in her memoir Two Years in the Forbidden City, which was published in 1911. She states in her book that the status of Princess, which the Empress Dowager had given her, was valid only within the palace. As the Guangxu Emperor, who was under a form of house arrest, never confirmed the title, it was not valid in the outside world. Two Years provides unique insights into life at the Manchu court and the character of the Empress Dowager, a world that ended abruptly with the 1911 Revolution that overthrew the Manchu or Qing dynasty.<mask> continued to write and published seven more books. <mask> was not a member of the Qing royal family. Although <mask> claimed to be an ethnic Manchu, her father Yü Keng was actually a Han Chinese Bannerman and not part of the ethnic Manchu Banners. Her father was not royal but was a bannerman, just as <mask> claimed she was a Manchu while she was actually a Chinese Bannerwoman. Death
<mask> died in Berkeley, California, as a result of being struck by a car while crossing an intersection. She had recently taught Chinese at University of California, Berkeley. Memoirs and writings

After Cixi's death in 1908, <mask> professed to be so angered by what she saw as false portraits of Cixi appearing in books and periodicals that she wrote her own account of serving "Old Buddha", which she called "Two Years in the Forbidden City".This book appeared in 1911, just before the fall of the Qing dynasty, and was a popular success. In this book, Cixi is not the monster of depravity depicted in the popular press and in the second and third hand accounts left by foreigners who had lived in Beijing, but an aging woman who loved beautiful things, had many regrets about the past and the way she had dealt with the many crises of her long reign, and apparently trusted <mask> enough to share many memories and opinions with her. <mask> would go on to write seven more books about this relatively brief period in her youth when she had been close to the heart of declining imperial Chinese power, and sharing this personal history and her habit of promoting herself and her writings caused most of her family to turn against her. All of this has made it difficult to assess <mask>'s contribution to late Qing historiography. But the fact remains that she was the first woman of Cixi's own ethnic background to live with and observe her and then write about what it was like; if many of <mask>'s recollections smack of the every day minutiae of a court that thrived on details and form, her writings are no less valuable for focusing on them, particularly as life within the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace was a closed book for most people in China, let alone in the rest of the world. Her opinion was that it was misunderstanding of much of what emanated from the throne that created so many of the problems Cixi has been wholly blamed for. A rather romanticised depiction of <mask>'s life, especially her relationship with Kevin White (based on Thaddeus C. White, portrayed by Jonathan Kos-Read).In the 2010 Chinese-Japanese coproduction series , the character Princess Shou An (Madam Zhang) is partially inspired by Princess <mask>. <mask> was portrayed by  in the 2016 Hong Kong television drama The Last Healer in Forbidden City.

At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, she won three gold and two silver medals. Personal
<mask> was born on 3 November 1998 in Newcastle, New South Wales. She has right side cerebral palsy as a result of a neonatal stroke, and was diagnosed with the condition when she was four years old. In addition to swimming, she participated in athletics, and by 2010 held six Australian age group classification records.In 2016, she was living in Gillieston Heights, New South Wales, and a year 12 student at Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College. She has an older sister Dimity <mask>. Swimming
<mask> was originally an S8 classified swimmer  but in 2017 she was reclassified as S9, a classification for athletes with less physical impairment. She is a member of Nuswim Swimming Club, started swimming when she was six months old, and commenced competitive swimming in 2009. She made her national team debut that same year at the Youth Paralympic Games, where she won five gold medals. By 2010, <mask> held three Australian age group classification records, and the 2010 New South Wales Multi-Class Long Course Swimming Championships, she had five first-place finishes. She represented Australia at the 2011 Oceania Paralympic Championships, and later that year competed in the Canberra hosted Australian Multi-Class Age Swimming Championships.At that event, she won a bronze, five silver and three gold medals. She was selected to represent Australia at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London in swimming. On 31 August 2012 at the London Aquatics Centre, <mask> slashed 23 seconds off her personal best time to win a bronze medal in the S8 400 m freestyle. She went on to win silver in S8 50 m freestyle, bronze in the S8 100 m Freestyle, and gold in the Women's 4x100 m Freestyle Relay – 34 Points. She thus became, at age 13, the youngest ever Australian to win a Paralympic medal, surpassing Anne Currie, or a gold medal, a record formerly held by Elizabeth Edmondson. Afterwards, she met with Prince Harry and gave him a Lizzie the Frill Neck Lizard, the mascot of the Australian Paralympic Committee and Australia's Paralympic Teams. This resulted in the Australian Chef de Mission, Jason Hellwig, officially presenting Lizzie to the Chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), Lord Coe, who gave him a Mandeville in return.In November 2012, <mask> and Rheed McCracken, the youngest members of the 2012 Paralympic Team, were together named the Paralympic Junior Athlete of the Year. She won gold medals in the Women's 50 m and 100 m Freestyle S8 events and a silver medal in the Women's 400 m Freestyle S8 at the August 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships in Montreal, Canada, and was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2014 Australia Day Honours "for service to sport as a Gold Medallist at the London 2012 Paralympic Games." <mask> won a gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in the women's 100 m S8 freestyle in a world record time of 1:05.32, breaking the record set by Jessica Long in 2012.

In November 2015, she was awarded the New South Wales Institute of Sport Regional Athlete of the Year. At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, she was a member of the team that won gold in world record time in the 4 x 100 freestyle relay 34 points, alongside Ellie Cole, Lakeisha Patterson and Ashleigh McConnell.She won her first individual Paralympic gold medal in winning the 100 metre freestyle S8 in a Paralympic record time of 1:04.73, and followed this with gold in the  50 metre freestyle S8 in a world record time of 29.73.

<mask>, born as Dennis Kipkurui Sang (, born 1 December 1986), is a middle-distance runner who represents Bahrain after changing nationality from Kenya. His speciality is the 3000 metres steeplechase. His personal best time of 8:06.13 minutes is also the Bahraini national record, set on 13 July 2009 at the Athens Grand Prix Tsiklitiria. Ascent in international athletics
The allegiance transfer from Kenya to Bahrain took place on 1 January 2005. <mask> emerged on the international athletics scene at the 2005 World Cross Country Championships, where he finished ninth in the junior race. He later competed at the 2005 World Youth Championships in Marrakech, Morocco where he won the 2000 metres steeplechase event. Reportedly, <mask> "made it look easy" as he let other runners lead the race until he broke away at the final water jump.With the time 5:23.95 minutes he set a new world youth's best performance. The previous best performance belonged to Kenyan Ronald Kipchumba Rutto with 5:27.64 minutes. Identity controversy
Not soon after, however, questions arose over the identity of <mask>. István Gyulai, then-Secretary General of the International Association of Athletics Federations, asked Isaiah Kiplagat, president of Athletics Kenya, to help shed light on the issue. Born in Kenya under a different name, it was claimed that the identity of <mask> was altered upon his switch to Bahrain, to qualify for international junior and youth events. According to the East African Standard, <mask> had supposedly beaten Eliud Kipchoge in a junior cross-country race in 2001. Kiplagat was quoted as saying that "I have already told IAAF that the two runners are cheats and we have the proof".Both his former name, substituted with an Arabic name upon arrival in Bahrain, and his reported birth date were subjects of investigation for the following two years. According to the official Bahraini papers, <mask> was born 1 December 1989 and named Dennis Sang. This purported birthdate would make him eligible to compete at the 2005 World Youth Championships which is open to athletes aged seventeen and less. However, both Kenya and the IAAF claim that <mask> was indeed formerly named Dennis Kipkurui Keter and born on 24 March 1984. If this were the case, <mask> would be 21 years old at the time of the World Youth Championships and ineligible to compete. Career continues
While age investigations were ongoing, <mask> was allowed to continue his career both in international junior and senior meets. Three weeks after the World Youth Championships he finished fifteenth in 3000 m steeplechase at the 2005 World Championships.During the 2005–2006 indoor season he won a silver medal at the 2006 Asian Athletics Championships in Pattaya and finished eleventh at the 2006 World Indoor Championships in Moscow, both in the 3000 metres distance as the 3000 metres steeplechase is not contested on indoor arenas. He opened the 2006 outdoor season by finishing nineteenth in the junior race at the 2006 World Cross Country Championships, helping the Bahraini team to a fifth place in the team competition. At the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing, <mask> won the silver medal in the steeplechase race. Having crossed the last water jump aside Willy Komen of Kenya, Komen sprinted away on the last stretch to take the gold medal in a new championship record of 8:14.00 minutes. <mask> finished in 8:16.64. Meanwhile, in the same city, the age manipulation case was brought forth at the IAAF Council meeting. The investigation had not yet concluded, but it was reported that there was "strong suspicion of age manipulation".The case had been brought to government level in Kenya as IAAF president Lamine Diack had discussed the issue the previous month with Maina Kamanda, Kenyan Minister for Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services. Cases had also been opened for two other Bahraini athletes born in Kenya, Belal Mansoor Ali and Aadam Ismaeel Khamis. In addition the Council meeting reported on a similar case, involving Kenyan long-distance runner Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa, who was found to compete with a falsified age in the junior race at the 2006 World Cross Country Championships, the same thing for which <mask> was investigated. Towards the end of the season he finished tenth in 3000 m steeplechase at the 2006 World Athletics Final in Stuttgart, in which he was entitled to run after collecting points during certain designated meets throughout the season. He was then selected to represent Asia at the 2006 World Cup, a meet which gathers one competitor from each continent in each event, and finished eighth in the 3000 metres. His position in Asian steeplechase was consolidated as he won the gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. The reigning world champion Saif Saaeed Shaheen, another Kenyan who changed nationality to Qatar, was absent from the Asian Games due to injury.Age investigations conclude
As the IAAF investigations concluded in 2007, the outcome was reported at the IAAF Council Meeting held in conjunction with the 2007 World Cross Country Championships in Mombasa. <mask> was found guilty of falsifying his age; according to IAAF, it had "emerged that the athlete falsified a birth certificate in order to obtain a Kenyan passport listing his birthday as 1 December 1989, when his real date of birth was 1 December 1986." In addition, his former name was found to be Dennis Kipkurui Sang. Meanwhile Belal Mansoor Ali was cleared of the same allegations, while the case of Aadam Ismaeel Khamis has not yet concluded. Reportedly, <mask> "remained unfazed by the stories of being stripped of his gold medal". The sanctions pertaining to <mask>'s over-age in competitions were finally announced in August 2007. His performances at the 2005 World Youth Championships, the 2007 World Cross Country Championships and the 2006 World Junior Championships were annulled, meaning that <mask> lost his medals and the world youth best performance.He was not disqualified from senior meets such as the World Championships or the Asian Games or the 2005 World Cross Country Championships because he was found to hold junior age at that time. The disqualifications of <mask> were particularly beneficial for Moroccan runner Abdelghani Aït Bahmad, who moved up from fourth place to bronze medal position at both the 2005 World Youth and the 2006 World Junior Championships. It was still unknown whether the identity was forged by <mask> himself or by someone else. If he is found to have forged his identity himself, <mask> could face a two-year ban from the sport, similar to the suspension imposed upon first time doping offenders. Personal best times
His current personal best times are:
1500 metres – 3:42.8 minutes (2006)
3000 metres – 7:50.31 minutes (2006)
3000 metres steeplechase – 8:06.13 minutes (2009) – also the Bahraini record. References

<mask>-Hariri (born 1930) is a former prominent Syrian Army officer. A staunch Arab nationalist, he supported the union between Syria and Egypt in 1958, opposed Syria's secession from it in 1961 and served as the chief leader of the coup d'état that toppled the secessionist government in March 1963. Politically independent from the Nasserists and their Ba'athist rivals, Hariri served as the army's chief of staff following the coup and was briefly defense minister until being dismissed during a wide-scale purge of non-Ba'athists from the military. He retired from political activity soon afterward. Early life
Hariri was born to a Sunni Muslim family from the town of Hama in 1930. His father was a major landowner in nearby Homs, and was sympathetic to the politics of the communist national leader Khalid al-Azm. Hariri's brother was also sympathetic to communism and was a locally known poet in Syria.Hariri's brother-in-law was the prominent Arab socialist politician Akram al-Hawrani, who was also a Hama native. Military and political career
Hariri entered the Homs Military Academy in the early 1950s and became an officer in the Syrian Army in 1954, during the presidency of Adib al-Shishakli. During this period he became active in the growing pan-Arabist movement led by Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser. Hariri supported the formation of the United Arab Republic (UAR) in February 1958. Along with many other Syrian officers, he was sent to be stationed in Egypt, a post he resented. He would later state that he felt he and his comrades "were in an inferior position and we did not know why." After the union's breakup in 1961, following a secessionist coup in Syria, he became a staunch opponent of the new government of President Nazim al-Qudsi.At the time, Hariri, a staff colonel, had been reassigned to commander of the army on the southern front with Israel. It was both a prestigious title and a strategic post as Hariri headed the largest concentration of Syrian troops in the country. For two years Hariri actively opposed the secessionist government and worked to restore the union with Egypt, gaining the support of Nasserist and politically independent Arab nationalist officers in the army. Sometime in the middle of 1962, the Military Committee of the Ba'ath Party, which ostensibly favored the restoration of the UAR, offered Hariri the position of army chief of staff if he gave the Ba'athists his support in overthrowing Qudsi's government. Should the coup attempt fail, the committee guaranteed Hariri could "disown" them. Tensions had been rising between Hariri and Prime Minister Khalid al-Azm, and Hariri feared Azm was going to dismiss him as front commander and appoint him as the military attaché in Baghdad, where he could wield little influence over events in Syria. When Azm did nominate him for the position, Hariri refused and was accused of being a "rebel" by the government.1963 coup and aftermath

Hariri accepted the Military Committee's offer and on the night of 7–8 March 1963, he played a prominent role in the toppling of Qudsi and Azm. Hariri led the armored forces from the front line with Israel towards the Syrian capital, Damascus, while pro-government brigades at Qatana and al-Kiswah, on the outskirts of the city, were neutralized by unionist forces. Hariri's troops installed barricades blocking strategic roads in the city, and besieged several government buildings, including the main post office. By the morning of 8 March, the coup was completed with virtually no blood spilled and the chief unionist officers gathered at army headquarters in Damascus to celebrate its quick success. Syria expert Patrick Seale referred to Hariri as the "chief coup maker." Hariri was promoted to Major-General, became a member of the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) that governed the country and, as planned, was appointed the army's chief of staff. To Hariri's chagrin, the Military Committee became the underlying power in Syria instead of Hariri serving as the country's strongman.Under the committee's influence, the RCC appointed officer Lu'ay al-Atassi as president and Ba'athist co-founder Salah al-Din Bitar as prime minister. Meanwhile, tensions between the Nasserists and the Ba'athists soared after the latter were seen by the former as reneging on a unity agreement signed in April with Iraq—where a Ba'athist-Nasserist alliance had taken power in February—and Egypt. Hariri had taken part in the negotiations in Cairo. Towards the end of April, dozens of Nasserist officers were purged from the army, prompting the resignation of six Nasserist RCC members, or half the council, in protest. The sidelining of the Nasserists, including Defense Minister Muhammad al-Sufi, resulted in Hariri's acquisition of the defense ministry portfolio. Together with his position as chief of staff, the defense ministry post gave Hariri highly strategic control over the army. This was seen as a major impediment to the Military Committee's plans to consolidate unchecked power in the armed forces.Tensions between Hariri, a political independent, and the Ba'athists, remained latent until several of Hariri's allies, including some thirty elite officers under his command, were discharged on the orders of Amin al-Hafiz, the Ba'athist interior minister on 23 June. Hariri had been sent to Algeria on 19 June with a high-ranking delegation, including Bitar, Aflaq and Education Minister Sami Droubi, just prior to the purge and was unable to personally intervene. Hariri was subsequently dismissed as chief of staff and was officially reassigned to the post of military attache in Washington D.C. He was instructed to head to the Syrian embassy in Washington directly and not to return to Damascus, which he did nevertheless. He refused the position and left Syria for France on 8 July to avoid the repercussions from the Ba'athist officers. Prime Minister Bitar was known to sympathize with Hariri, and accompanied him to the Damascus International Airport, with Bitar reportedly having tears in his eyes. Bitar and the civilian Ba'athist leadership viewed Hariri as a counterweight to the Military Committee, who Bitar feared would now have unrestricted control over his government's decisions.Hariri's self-imposed exile marked the end of his political and military career.

<mask><mask> is a cognitive psychologist and Associate professor in Consumer behaviour at INCAE as well as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Harvard University. She is best known for her controversial work on repressed and recovered memories in her books Abducted and The Trauma Myth. Education

In 2001, <mask> received her PhD in experimental psychology from Harvard University. Career

<mask> joined the Harvard University psychology department as a graduate student in 1995. There she began to study memory and the idea of repressed memories due to trauma. The debate in this field was strong at the time, with many clinicians arguing that we repress memories to protect ourselves from trauma that would be too hard to bear. Many cognitive psychologists, on the other hand, argued that true trauma is almost never forgotten, and that memories brought up years later through hypnosis are most likely false.In 2003, <mask> remarked to Bruce Grierson of the New York Times that "nobody was doing research on the group that was at the center of the controversy -- the people who were reporting recovered memories. Memory function in that group had never been examined in the laboratory." <mask> hypothesized that there was a group of people who were more susceptible to false memory creation and that this tendency might be demonstrated in the lab by giving standard memory tests. The tests included giving participants lists of related words and then later asking them to recall the first list by circling words from a second list that included similar words. Her data strongly suggested that some people are more likely to "remember" seeing similar words to those on the lists that weren't an exact match, more so than a control group. Essentially "creating a recollection out of a contextual inference, a fact from a feeling." These findings were published in the journal Psychological Science in 2000.Her work was heavily criticized by some in the community. It was suggested that it could be possible that those with recovered memories of trauma, had such traumatic memories that they were not only repressed, but that they also manifested as cognitive impairment that could cause memory problems in test conditions like this study. Additionally, she received letters suggesting that even conducting this kind of research at all "cheers on child molesters" and ridicules the suffering of children. In 2000 when she was invited to speak at Cambridge Hospital, she was told that many in the psychiatric department protested her lecture. <mask> decided at this point to find a new group to study. She began studying alien abductees, whose stories could produce more methodologically clear study results. She began canvassing for participants until she found 11 willing abductees.This posed its own challenges because many of the study participants do not believe in repressed memories, but rather some kind of extraterrestrial interpretation, such as the aliens erasing their memories or controlling their minds in some manner. In 2003, <mask> took a position as a professor at the Harvard-affiliated Central American Business Administration Institute in Managua, Nicaragua. She went on to become the research director at the Harvard-affiliated Center for Women's Advancement, Development and Leadership in Nicaragua. Select bibliography

Abducted: How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped By Aliens

Published by Harvard University Press in 2005, <mask>'s book Abducted: How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped By Aliens was met with strong positive reviews. The book uses data derived from several memory studies on self described abductees that took place in the preceding few years. The book explores what mainstream experts believe to be the sources of abduction stories, such as sleep paralysis and the use of hypnosis techniques to "recover" forgotten memories. <mask> finds that previous interest in the paranormal and emotional investment also play a role in creating abduction memories.Benedict Carey of the New York Times believes the book is about more than just aliens, that "the book hints at a larger ambition, to explain the psychology of transformative experiences, whether supposed abductions, conversions or divine visitations." <mask> demonstrates that alien abduction stories give people meaning and a way to understand their own lives and circumstances. It also gives them a feeling that they are not alone in the universe. Carey's take away is that, "in this sense, abduction memories are like transcendent religious visions, scary and yet somehow comforting and, at some personal psychological level, true." Paul McHugh, of The Wall Street Journal also points out that, no matter how bad the experience, none of the abductees regret it happening. Many of them feel that they were special or "chosen" for having these experiences. Benedict Carey's only critique is that <mask> did not ask the abductees that she interviewed to share their religious beliefs, which he notes that <mask> herself regretted as well.He concludes that "when it comes to sounding the depths of alien stories, a scientific inquiry like this one may have to end with an inquiry into religion." In an interview with Madeleine Brand on the Day to Day radio show by NPR, <mask> responds to the question of how her interview subjects responded to the publishing of her book. She explains:

<mask>, in response to the idea that alien abduction experiences are similar to religious beliefs and experiences says:

The Trauma Myth: The Truth about the Sexual Abuse of Children—and its Aftermath

This book, published in 2010, got its beginning when <mask> was working on her graduate research project in the mid-1990s and she began interviewing adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Much to her surprise, she found that most of the victims of childhood abuse did not feel trauma, in the usual sense of the word, until they grew old enough to really understand what had happened. One of the most common feelings among her sample was self-blame. The majority of those interviewed never experienced violence or remembered feeling pain, rather it was mainly confusion at the time. But the psychological damage begins when they realize that their trust and innocence had been betrayed.It is this feeling of participation from the victim that causes the greatest distress later in life. <mask> says that ninety-five percent of childhood sexual abuse victims never seek treatment because of their false beliefs about what abuse should look like:

There was much outrage over the findings presented in this book. When questioned about the critique that her book could be arguing that children are not hurt by sexual abuse, <mask> says, "I will never say that. I could not be more clear. This is an atrocious, disgusting crime." Many have also accused <mask> and this book of encouraging child abusers. To this she responds that:

<mask> argues that her model is what may truly help the adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.These survivors are often ashamed of their behavior and that they did not fight back, they blame themselves and often do not speak about the events or even believe that what happened to them can be considered abuse. She finds that it can be very beneficial for these survivors to learn that their experience and their reaction, or lack of reaction, was normal. According to an interview with <mask>, writing for The Globe and Mail in 2010, <mask> makes it clear through her book "that children are never at fault, that sexual abuse is always a crime and that the blame always rests with the adult." This book also addresses the idea of repressed memory. <mask> argues that the reason many children do not remember sexual abuse until later in life was that it simply was not memorable at the time. She says in an interview with Salon:

On how we should treat sexual abuse victims, <mask> says:

<mask> (born September 23, 1991) is a former American track and field athlete, who competed in the 100-meter hurdles. Her personal best for the event is 12.35 seconds, set in 2015, which ranks her seventh on the world all-time lists. Stowers ran for Louisiana State University in collegiate competition and was the 2014 NCAA runner-up outdoors. She was the 2015 American indoor champion in the 60-meter hurdles. Stowers represented her country at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics. <mask> announced her retirement from the sport in October 2020

Early life
Born to Ronald and Gena <mask>, she grew up in Pendleton, South Carolina and attended Pendleton High School. She performed well in her studies there and was a member of her school's academic honor roll five years running, as well as serving as the school president for the National Honor Society.She took up track and field while at school and made her first international appearance at the age of fifteen, competing at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics. There she ran a personal record of 13.52 seconds in the 100 m hurdles qualifiers, but was slower in the final and finished fourth in the youth event. She placed third in the 60 m hurdles at the Nike Indoor Nationals that same year. She emerged at national level in 2008, winning the Nike Outdoor Nationals and taking second at the USATF Junior Olympics. She ranked as the number one high school athlete in the 2009 season, retaining her Nike Outdoor Nationals title in a time of 13.59 seconds and winning the Junior Olympics and Nike Indoor Nationals titles as well. College career
Stowers gained a scholarship to attend Louisiana State University and began to study Nutrition and Food Science there in 2010. She began to compete for the institution's LSU Lady Tigers track and field team and in her first major competition ranked sixth in the 60 m hurdles at the NCAA Indoor Women's Track and Field Championships with a personal best of 8.12 seconds.She was the winner of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) titles indoors and outdoors, setting a personal best of 12.88 seconds at the latter meet. She won at the Penn Relays and was a quarterfinalist at the NCAA Outdoor Women's Track and Field Championships. She also competed at the 2011 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where she was a semi-finalist. In her second year at Louisiana State, Stowers defended both her SEC titles and was a finalist indoors and out in NCAA competition. She won the Penn Relays for a second year running and ended the year with a best of 12.92 seconds for the 100 m hurdles. Reflecting her focus on studying, she was listed on the SEC Academic Honor Roll that year. At the 2012 United States Olympic Trials she was a semi-finalist.In 2013, she retained her SEC indoor title for a third time – only the second person to do so for Louisiana after Lolo Jones. She was again an NCAA finalist both indoors and outdoors, managing a third-place finish in the 60 m hurdles indoors. She suffered from a hamstring injury during the middle of the year, which contributed her defeat at the SEC Outdoor Championships. She again featured on the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 2013. In her fourth and final college year Stowers featured in the top three in NCAA competition. At the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships she ran a school record of 7.94 to take third place again in a tight race, where the top three (including Sharika Nelvis and Tiffani McReynolds) all finished within one hundredth of a second of each other. The 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championships bore similar results, as <mask> finished in a wind-assisted 12.54 seconds to place second behind Nelvis, who was just two hundredths ahead of her.She was usurped by Kentucky's Kendra Harrison in SEC competition, ranking second behind her both indoors and outdoors. Her third career win at the Penn Relays made her the first woman to achieve that feat. She ended the year on a high note at the 2014 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships: after setting a personal record of 12.71 seconds in the qualifying round, she progressed to the final and finished in fourth place – her highest ever senior national ranking. <mask> finished her collegiate career with five titles in Southeastern Conference competition and seven All-American honors in NCAA competition. Professional career
<mask> made a strong start to her professional career with a national title at the 2015 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Her winning time of 7.84 seconds took a tenth of a second off her previous best for the 60 m hurdles. No longer having to do both academics and sport, her new focus on hurdling brought results at the Drake Relays, where she moved up to twelfth on the all-time lists with a new personal record of 12.40 seconds – three tenths faster than she had gone before.She also defeated former Olympic champion Dawn Harper-Nelson and world champion Brianna Rollins in the process. She improved one hundredth further at the Jamaica International Invitational, with a meeting record of 12.39 seconds. Her debut appearance on the 2015 IAAF Diamond League circuit established her as an elite international performer. She won the Doha Diamond League meeting in a series record time of 12.35 seconds – this moved her up to seventh on the all-time rankings for the 100 m hurdles. In October 2020, <mask> announced her retirement on Twitter, citing an ongoing spinal injury that had severely hampered her ability to train and compete at the highest level. Personal records

Screen sitcom Community (2009–2015), creator and host of the comedy podcast Harmontown (2012–2019), co-creator of the Adult Swim animated sitcom Rick and Morty (2013–present) and its subsequent franchise along with Justin Roiland, and co-founder of the alternative television network and website Channel 101 along with Rob Schrab. Early life
<mask> was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 3, 1973. He graduated from Brown Deer High School in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, and attended Marquette University. He briefly attended Glendale Community College in Glendale, California, an experience which would later form the basis of his sitcom Community. Career

"Story circle" technique

<mask> adapted the hero's journey, a well-known storytelling framework, for use in television; he calls this technique the "story circle". He began developing the technique while stuck on a screenplay in the late 1990s, and wanted to codify the storytelling process to unveil the "structure" that powers movies and TV shows. He said, "I was thinking, there must be some symmetry to this. Some simplicity." While working on Channel 101, he found that many of the directors he was working with claimed that they were unable to write plots for television shows. This prompted him to simplify Joseph Campbell's structure of the hero's journey into a circular eight-step process that would reliably produce coherent stories.The story circle can supposedly be applied to all stories. <mask> uses it whenever he is writing a new story, saying, "I can't not see that circle. It's tattooed on my brain." The circle is divided into eight segments, each representing a stage of the plot: a character is introduced, wants something, enters a new environment, adapts to that environment, achieves their goal, encounters problems as a result of this, leaves that world, and is changed as a result. He writes the steps as follows:

 A character is in a zone of comfort or familiarity. They desire something. They enter an unfamiliar situation.They adapt to that situation. They get that which they wanted. They pay a heavy price for it. They return to their familiar situation. They have changed as a result of the journey. Campbell's structure of the hero's journey is the main influence in <mask>'s technique. In a blog post detailing the second sector of the circle, <mask> explained, "The point of this part of the circle is, our protagonist has been thrown into the water and now it's sink or swim.In Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell actually evokes the image of a digestive tract, breaking the hero down, divesting him of neuroses, stripping him of fear and desire. There's no room for bullshit in the unconscious basement. Asthma inhalers, eyeglasses, credit cards, fratty boyfriends, promotions, toupees, and cell phones can't save you here. The purpose here has become refreshingly—and frighteningly—simple." The hero's journey has been adapted for screen and television writing before, most notably by former Disney developmental executive Christopher Vogler in his book The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers. <mask> has noted this book as an influence on the technique, as well as the work of Syd Field. Star Wars is an examples of a film that consciously set out to use the hero's journey as a template for storytelling success.<mask> states that this circular structure of storytelling can be applied both to film and TV, suggesting in a Channel 101 blog that only the final intentions are different: "A feature film's job is to send you out of the theatre on a high in 90 minutes. Television's job is to keep you glued to the television for your entire life. This doesn't entail making stories any less circular (TV circles are so circular they're sometimes irritatingly predictable). It just means that the focus of step 8 is less riling-things-up and more getting-things-back-to-where-they-started." He has used the story circle technique extensively throughout projects such as Community and Rick and Morty. In an interview with Collider, writer Adam Chitwood said, "Rick and Morty debuted in 2013 to a serious degree of anticipation, as it marked a new animated venture for Community creator <mask>, but it was the marriage of <mask>'s adeptness for structure and character and co-creator Justin Roiland's insanely creative/sometimes insane mind that made Rick and Morty much more than just another animated TV series for adults." Influences
In an interview with Vulture, <mask> named a number of films, television shows, books, and artists that have shaped his writing style.This includes the films RoboCop and Network; the television shows Cheers, Mr. Show, Arrested Development, Second City Television, and Twin Peaks; the books Slaughterhouse-Five and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; the play Sexual Perversity in Chicago; and writers, artists, and comedians including Garry Shandling, George Lucas, Spalding Gray, Charlie Kaufman, Woody Allen, Tom Kenny, and Chris Elliott. In the same Vulture interview, <mask> mentioned Dungeons & Dragons, musician Tori Amos, and evolutionary anthropologist Elaine Morgan as influences. He singled out Morgan's aquatic ape hypothesis, calling it a "peaceful, interesting, mythical concept, and a scientific one, that maybe the origin of Homo sapiens was kind of a fairy tale". For Rick and Morty, <mask> and co-creator Justin Roiland listed a number of influences on the show's style, including The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy, South Park, Saturday Night Live, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who, and the cult sci-fi film Zardoz. Awards
In July 2009, <mask> was nominated in two Emmy categories for his part in writing the 81st Academy Awards telecast: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, the latter of which he was awarded for "Hugh Jackman Opening Number" at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2018 and 2020, <mask> won the Emmy for "Outstanding Animated Program" as the executive producer of Rick and Morty. He was also nominated with Chris McKenna for a Hugo award for writing the Community episode, "Remedial Chaos Theory".Personal life
In 2011, while writing the character Abed for Community, <mask> realized through researching the character's traits that he might have Asperger syndrome. He consulted a doctor about it and concluded that he himself is on the spectrum. On a podcast hosted by Kevin Pollak, he said, "I know I'm not normal, but I think the important thing is that [...] I started to discover that I had a lot more in common with Abed than I did with Jeff." <mask> proposed to his girlfriend Erin McGathy in December 2013, and they were married in November 2014. They announced they were divorcing in October 2015. In 2016, <mask> started dating Cody Heller. In January 2019, Heller proposed to <mask> and the couple are now engaged.Heller adapted a real-life experience with <mask> into the TV series Dummy, starring Anna Kendrick as Heller and Donal Logue as <mask>. Controversies

Sexual misconduct
On January 2, 2018, <mask> alluded to sexual misconduct from himself towards other people. Megan Ganz, a writer who worked with him on Community, named herself as a victim of his misconduct. He responded by attempting to apologize, and though Ganz said she appreciated his gestures, she refused to forgive him. After the exchange, he made a lengthy apology on his podcast Harmontown and went into detail about his wrongdoings, which included making advances on Ganz and then mistreating her after she turned him down. Ganz ultimately accepted his apology; she said that she felt vindicated by his admission, called it a "masterclass in how to apologize", and urged her Twitter followers to listen to it. Baby doll video
In July 2018, <mask> received criticism when a comedy skit from 2009 resurfaced.The video, titled "Daryl", was intended to be a parody of Dexter and featured <mask> acting out raping a baby. Vox noted that the video was dug up and circulated on 4chan as part of a co-ordinated attempt by the alt-right to smear public figures who were perceived as having leftist and liberal viewpoints. <mask> apologized for the video and said, "In 2009, I made a 'pilot' which strove to parody the series Dexter and only succeeded in offending. I quickly realized the content was way too distasteful and took the video down immediately. Nobody should ever have to see what you saw and for that, I sincerely apologize." Adult Swim released a statement criticizing the video, but appeared to be satisfied with <mask>'s apology. Multiple sources associated <mask>'s decision to delete his Twitter account with the backlash.However, on an episode of Harmontown in February 2019, he revealed that he had deleted his Twitter account prior to the backlash in response to Disney's firing of James Gunn for jokes that Gunn had made on Twitter between 2008 and 2012. He argued that this is what actually provoked 4chan users to target him, having assumed that he was trying to hide something from his past. Filmography

On his retirement, he was both the longest-serving director in the institution's history and the third longest-serving director of any major art museum in the world (first is Irina Antonova, who was the Director of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow for 52 years, from 1961 to 2013, making her the oldest and the longest serving director of a major art museum in the world; second is Knud W. Jensen, who served as the director of Denmark's Louisiana Museum of Modern Art north of Copenhagen for 35 years, from 1958 to 1993). From January 2009, <mask> took up a post as the first Fiske Kimball Professor in the History and Culture of Museums at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. Born to a French aristocratic family, <mask> immigrated to the United States of America in the 1950s, and became a naturalized citizen of the US in 1955. He was educated in New York City at the Lycée Français de New York, graduated from Harvard University with a degree in art history, and earned an MA from New York University, after which he embarked on a career in Fine Arts. He became the Director of the Metropolitan Museum in 1977 and has become widely known as the public face of the museum.He announced his retirement on 8 January 2008, stating that he intended to step down by the end of 2008 after more than 31 years at his post. Biography

Early life
Born <mask> Henri Lannes <mask> in Paris in 1936 to a family descended from the Napoleonic aristocracy, <mask> was the second of four sons. His father, Marquis André Roger Lannes <mask> (Biarritz, July 6, 1908 - New York City, December 2, 1986), was a portrait painter, art critic, and a member of the French Resistance during World War II. His mother, Germaine Wiener <mask> (born in Paris, October 26, 1913 and married in Paris, November 30, 1933), was a descendant of the <mask> <mask>, a daughter of the playwright <mask> Croisset, and a half-sister of the arts patron Marie-Laure <mask>. One of <mask>'s great-great-great-grandfathers was Jean Lannes, Duke of Montebello and Marshal of France. Both parents were involved in a project to develop a form of three-dimensional photography, and it was in search of venture capital for this enterprise that the family came to New York in 1951. Whereas his brothers would all eventually return to France to take up jobs in banking, <mask> stayed in the United States and became an American citizen in 1955.<mask> was educated at the Lycée Français in New York, where he received his baccalauréat in 1954. He then went on to study art history at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude in 1958. During his freshman year, <mask> lived in Stoughton Hall. He continued his studies at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts, where he studied under Charles Sterling, an expert in French Renaissance art. Early career
In 1963, he began work for the Met as a curatorial assistant in the Department of European Paintings, rising to full curator. He then spent four-and-a-half-years (1969–1974) as Director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, returning to the Met as vice director for curatorial and educational affairs. He became director in 1977.Family
On June 24, 1961 in New York, he married Edith Myles (born in New York, October 20, 1939), who is the financial-aid director of the Trinity School in New York City. They have three children:

 Marc André <mask> <mask> (born in New York, October 11, 1964), a New York University graduate and art dealer, married civilly at Choiseul and religiously at Marnes-la-Coquette, November 28, 1986 and divorced Laure Marie Dauphine <mask>bran-Pontèves (born at Neuilly, February 26, 1966), by whom he had a son Alexandre (born in New York, May 9, 1987). Laure <mask> (born in New York City, May 5, 1968), a Columbia University graduate and freelance writer, was married to Robert Bernstein, M.D., with two children, Claire and Maximilian (Max). She died in 2018 from complications of pancreatic cancer. <mask> <mask> (born in Houston, Texas, January 16, 1971), a New York University graduate and Grammy-winning sound engineer, married to Raasa Leela Shields (born in Richmond, Virginia) with two children, Kivlighan Finch and Everest Leo Myles. Curator of the Metropolitan Museum
Under <mask> Montebello's directorship the Metropolitan Museum has nearly doubled in size to two million square feet. Notable changes have included the opening of the Carroll and Milton Petrie European Sculpture Court in 1990, new galleries for Greek & Roman art, the recently opened  Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education, the remodeled and reinstalled galleries for Oceanic and Native North American art, and expanded galleries for Chinese, Cypriot, Ancient Near Eastern, and Korean art.In 2007, the Metropolitan reopened its expanded galleries for 19th- and early 20th-century European paintings and decorative arts, formerly Modernist, in a historicizing Beaux-Arts style, and a new high-ceilinged gallery to show off Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's monumental paintings to their best advantage. Criticism of <mask>o has focused on his alleged conservatism regarding modern and contemporary art: in a 1999 op-ed piece in the New York Times he lauded the city's mayor Rudy Giuliani for rubbishing Chris Ofili's infamous painting The Holy Virgin Mary, which used elephant dung as one of its materials. In the early years of his tenure, the Department of Modern Art was said to lag behind the museum's other departments in its spending power. But in recent years, the Museum has purchased iconic works by Jasper Johns, Damien Hirst, and Robert Rauschenberg, and mounted exhibitions by contemporary artists like Johns, Rauschenberg, Tara Donovan, Sean Scully, and Kara Walker. Mr. <mask>o's other major building programs have included the expansion and renovation of period rooms and galleries for the decorative arts, the opening of new permanent exhibition galleries for drawings, prints, and photographs (supplemented in 2007 with the new Joyce and Robert Menschel Hall for Modern Photography), the conservation and installation of the Gubbio Studiolo, the opening of the Antonio Ratti Textile Conservation Center, the opening of the new Mary and Michael Jaharis Gallery for Byzantine art, and the installation of Coptic art in a crypt-like gallery carved out of former storage space beneath the museum's Great Hall staircase. Under <mask>'s directorship, the Met acquired many major private collections, notably the Jack and Belle Linsky Collection of European Paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts; the Heinz Berggruen collection of works by Paul Klee; the gift of 10 paintings by Clyfford Still by the artist's widow; the Annenberg Collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings; the Florene Schoenborn collection of 20th-century works; the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of modern paintings; the Gilman Paper Company Collection of 19th-century photographs; the Muriel Kallis Steinberg Newman Collection of Abstract Expressionist and other modern works; and most recently, the Diane Arbus archive. De Montebello also worked to acquire a number of individual masterpieces over the years, including works by Vermeer, Rubens, Guercino, and Nikolaus Gerhaert von Leyden.Among the most celebrated of these acquisitions have been the 11th-century gilt-bronze Cambodian deified king known as the "Golden Boy" in 1988; Vincent van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses in 1993, Jasper Johns'  White Flag in 1998, and in 2004 the Madonna and Child by the Renaissance master Duccio di Buoninsegna. Throughout this period, the Met under <mask>'s leadership mounted some 30 special exhibitions annually, involving not only all the museum's 17 curatorial departments, but also presenting works of art on loan from public and private collections around the world (current shows listed on the museum's website, metmuseum.org). Many of the shows were accompanied by the publication of major catalogues. Under <mask>, the Met has become the leading art book publisher in the U.S., issuing some 25-30 illustrated volumes each year, most carrying an introduction by the director. Long the "voice of the Met," <mask> also narrates the Met's audio guides for both exhibitions and the permanent collection. He lectures on museological matters throughout the world, and has also given public readings of French poetry by Baudelaire, Rimbaud and others at the museum. Retirement
On January 8, 2008, he announced his intention to retire by the end of 2008 ().He was succeeded by Thomas Campbell in September 2008. Association of Art Museum Curators
<mask> assisted in the formation of the Association of Art Museum Curators in 2001, and later helped forge its policy on spoliated World War II-era art, advocating transparent research into the ownership history of museum collections, and testifying on Capitol Hill. In August 2006 he successfully negotiated the precedent-setting agreement with the Italian government that ended years of disputes regarding the legal ownership of several works in its Greek and Roman collections. Under the terms of the historic pact, Italy provided long-term loans to the Met in exchange for the return of these works. Teaching
<mask> is the first professor to teach the history and culture of museums at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. In addition to being a full-time professor at the IFA, where he discusses topics such as the history of collecting and the progression and modernization of museums, <mask> also advises NYU on its planned overseas campus and curriculum in Abu Dhabi, scheduled to begin enrolling students in 2010. He began teaching at NYU in January 2009 as well as consulting and lecturing at several museums on the modernization of their collections.In 2012, <mask> served as the Humanitas Visiting Professor in the History of Art at the University of Cambridge. <mask> also serves as co-host of NYC-ARTS, a weekly program highlighting current New York City exhibitions, cultural institutions and profiling relevant contributors to the arts on Thirteen/WNET. In April, 2015 the Hispanic Society of America announced the appointment of <mask> <mask> to chair the Society's Board of Overseers and spearhead a major effort to roughly double the museum's size by renovating the now-vacant, adjacent, Beaux Arts, former building of the Museum of the American Indian. <mask> was named a Gold Medal Honoree of the National Institute of Social Sciences in 1989. Montebello was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1991 (he was promoted to the rank of Officier in 2007). His adopted home country followed suit by awarding him the National Medal of Arts in 2002, the National Humanities Medal in 2010, and the Mayor's Arts Award in 2007. <mask> was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2001 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2004.<mask> was also awarded the Order of Isabel la Catolica, Encomienda de Numero; the Spanish Institute Gold Medal Award; Knight Commander, Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great; the 2002 Blerancourt Prize; the 2004 Amigos del Museo del Prado Prize; and in 2007 the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold & Silver Star, from the Government of Japan. In 2017, <mask> received the Edmund Burke Award for Culture and Society, awarded by monthly cultural review The New Criterion. He has received honorary degrees from New York University, Dartmouth College, Lafayette College, Bard College, Iona College, the Savannah College of Art and Design, and his alma mater, Harvard. <mask> is a recipient of The International Center in New York's Award of Excellence.

<mask> (April 11, 1932 – November 27, 2017) was an American chemical engineer and Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) at the University of Minnesota. He was known for his work in transport phenomena, bioengineering and population dynamics. <mask> was the author of over 100 scientific publications and advisor to over 50 graduate students. He was recognized for his contributions to chemical engineering with election as fellow to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1997) and fellow and founding member of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineers (1993). Early life and education
<mask> was born and grew up in Faribault, Minnesota, located about 50 miles south of Minneapolis. In 1954, he completed his B.S with distinction in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota, followed by a master's degree in chemical engineering from Minnesota in 1956. He then completed in 1959 a Ph.D. in chemical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with Professor Robert Byron Bird in the field of fluid mechanics.His thesis was published in 1959 with the title, "Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Annuli". During his time in graduate school, <mask> published two papers and a book chapter. A.G<mask>, R.B. Bird "Non-Newtonian Flow in Annuli", Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 50, 347-352, (1958). A.G<mask>, R.B. Bird, William Wilcox "Correspondence:  Friction Factors for Axial Non-Newtonian Annular Flow", Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 50, 1599-1600, (1958).

Research and education at Minnesota
Following a year as a process engineer at ADM in Minneapolis, MN, in 1957, <mask> became an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (1958-1963) at the University of Minnesota. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1963 and full professor in 1966).At Minnesota he focused his research on the modeling of the dynamics and kinetics of the growth processes of microbes and cells. These models find applications in the impact of environmental pollution, particularly with regard to the bioprocesses occurring in the soil, lakes, and rivers. His research in particular addressed the modeling of the complexity of populations of organisms which could account for characteristics including cell size and protein content. He further expanded on modeling and numerical methods of population dynamics by connecting advanced numerical models with experimental population dynamics made available with advances in experimental flow cytometry. During his tenure as professor at the University of Minnesota, Professor <mask> advised over 50 graduate students including Professor Gregory Stephanopoulos at MIT. Awards, honors, and legacy
<mask>'s research and contributions to education and service have been highlighted with awards, many of which identify his focus for scholarship in directions that merged biology and chemical engineering with mathematics and modeling.
