V<mask> is a South Korean biochemist and microbiologist, best known for her work on microRNA biogenesis. Her pioneering studies have laid the groundwork for the biology of microRNA and contributed to the improvement of RNA interference technologies. Background
<mask> was born in South Korea in 1969. <mask> first became interested in science as a high school student. When asked why she chose science as a lifelong career, she said, “I was charmed by the simplicity of the principles underlying the complexity of life.”

Education
<mask> went on to pursue a BA degree in microbiology, then followed by a M.Sc. degree in microbiology in 1992 and 1994, respectively, both from Seoul National University (SNU). After completing her masters under adviser Kang Sa-Ouk, <mask> went to the United Kingdom to further her studies at the University of Oxford, studying the functions of retroviral proteins under Alan J. Kingsman.She graduated with a PhD in biochemistry in 1998. Career
Her academic journey then took her to the United States, where she took a position at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as a research assistant. After completing her postdoctoral research on mRNA surveillance in the laboratory of Gideon Dreyfuss, <mask> finished her postdoctoral studies and returned to Korea in 2001. She then started working at Seoul National University as a research assistant professor. By the age of 35, <mask> already had twenty-two of her papers published in well known and prestigious scientific publications, such as Science and Nature. In addition, <mask> “holds four patents based on her research activities, including one on a novel HIV-based gene delivery vector.”

In 2008, she became an associate professor, then a SNU Distinguished Fellow in 2010, and a full professor in 2013. Located in Seoul National University, she began working with the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in 2012 as the founding director of the Center for RNA Research.her lab focuses on RNA-mediated gene regulation research, specifically investigating post-transcriptional gene regulation mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs). The lab employs biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic, biophysical, and computational approaches. Research is focused on miRNAs, which are small non-coding RNAs involved in practically all working aspects of eukaryotic cells. Tight control of miRNA is vital to normal functioning cells. If dysregulated, miRNAs can often be linked to human diseases such as cancer. By focusing on the miRNA biogenesis, Dr. <mask>'s lab has made major contributions to the understanding of miRNAs are created and processed in animal cells. These studies can potentially open the doors to new forms of cancer treatment and stem cell engineering.In 2013, <mask>, along with Professor Jin-Soo KIM of the SNU Department of Chemistry developed a new technology to eliminate specific microRNAs. This new technology has the promise of being potentially used to cure cancer and other illnesses in the future. In the research, TALENs (enzymes) were used to separate certain microRNA from a cell. TALENs had been used to create protein before, but this was the first time they have been used to separate microRNA. The team developed 540 different TALENs for this specific purpose. When this was applied to cancer cells, the proliferation rate of cancer cells dropped to one third of what it was. This discovery was published in the November 11, 2013 edition of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.<mask>'s first paper as PI was published in 2002 in the EMBO Journal. In this highly cited work, she defined two separate processing steps (primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) processing in the nucleus and pre-miRNA processing in the cytoplasm), and proposed a model of the microRNA biogenesis pathway for the first time. Based on this model, her research group discovered that most microRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II and that pri-miRNA processing is carried out by Drosha-DGCR8 complexes in the nucleus. Her research group further identified uridylation-meditated pre-miRNA degradation pathway by LIN28 and TUT4, contributing to a better understanding of how microRNA-mediated gene expression regulation is involved in embryonic stem cell maintenance and cancer cell development. She also discovered the molecular basis for pri-miRNA recognition and cleavage by the Drosha-DGCR8 complexes, and pre-miRNA processing by Dicer. These findings suggested several critical points to be considered for designing more efficient short hairpin RNA (shRNA) vectors and also contributed to the improvement of RNA interference technologies. The research team led by <mask> <mask> and Chang Hyeshik confirmed the predicted subgenomic RNAs of SARS-CoV-2 along with new RNA and dozens of unknown subgenomic RNAs.The interdisciplinary team was composed of virologists, microbiologists and computational scientists. <mask> received L'Oreal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science (2008), Ho-Am Prize in Medicine (2009) and The Korea S&T Award (2013). She is an active member of the RNA Society and the International Society of Stem Cell Research (ISSCR).

<mask> (née Wilcke or Wilcken) (22 September 1701 – 22 February 1760) was a professional singer and the second wife of <mask>. Biography
<mask> was born at Zeitz, in the Electorate of Saxony. While little is known about her early musical education, the family was musical. Her father, Johann Caspar Wilcke (c. 1660–1733), was a trumpet player, who had a career at the courts of Zeitz and Weißenfels. Her mother, Margaretha Elisabeth Liebe, was the daughter of an organist. By 1721 <mask> was employed as a singer (soprano) at the princely court of Anhalt-Cöthen. <mask> had been working there as Capellmeister, or director of music, since December 1717.It is possible that he first heard her sing at the ducal court in Weißenfels, where he is known to have performed as early as 1713, when his Hunting Cantata was premiered there. <mask> and Johann married on 3 December 1721, seventeen months after the death of his first wife, Maria Barbara <mask>. Later that month, the couple's employer, Leopold, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen, married Frederica Henriette of Anhalt-Bernburg. <mask> believed her lack of interest in music caused the musical life at the court to decline, although there is evidence that other factors were involved. There were budgetary constraints caused by Prussian military demands of which <mask> may have had limited knowledge because it's unlikely that the prince would have discussed his financial problems with <mask>. In 1723, the <mask>s moved to Leipzig when Johann Sebastian accepted the position of Cantor at the . <mask> continued to sing professionally after her marriage.In one notable example of her continuing involvement with music, she returned to Köthen in 1729 to sing at Prince Leopold's funeral. The <mask>s' shared interest in music contributed to their happy marriage. She regularly worked as a copyist, transcribing her husband's music, which she sold as a means to contribute to the family income. <mask> wrote a number of compositions dedicated to her, most notably the two distinct Notebooks for <mask> <mask>. During the <mask> family's time in Leipzig, <mask> organized regular musical evenings featuring the whole family playing and singing together with visiting friends. The <mask> house became a musical centre in Leipzig. Apart from music, her interests included gardening.While the <mask>s ensured their sons were educated, their daughters never went to school. <mask> was left alone, with no financial support from family members, to care for herself and her two youngest daughters, plus her stepdaughter from <mask>'s first marriage. <mask> became increasingly dependent upon charity and handouts from the city council, ultimately relying on public begging to survive. Probably her only child or stepchild who provided any support to her was her stepson Carl Philipp <mask>, whose letters show he provided regular financial assistance. She died on the street on 27 February 1760, with no money at all, and was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave at Leipzig's  (St. John's Church). The church was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II. Claim of composership

Recently, it has been suggested that <mask> <mask> composed several musical pieces bearing her husband's name: Professor Martin Jarvis of the School of Music at Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Australia, claims that she composed the famed six cello suites (BWV 1007–1012) and was involved with the composition of the aria from the Goldberg Variations (BWV 988) and the opening prelude of The Well-Tempered Clavier.These ideas were also made into a TV documentary Written by Mrs <mask>. These claims have been virtually unanimously dismissed by Bach scholars and performers. Christoph Wolff said:
When I served as director of the Leipzig Bach Archive from 2001 to 2013, I and my colleagues there extensively refuted the basic premises of the thesis, on grounds of documents, manuscript sources, and musical grounds. There is not a shred of evidence, but Jarvis doesn't give up despite the fact that several years ago, at a Bach conference in Oxford, a room full of serious Bach scholars gave him an embarrassing showdown. Writing in The Guardian, cellist Steven Isserlis said, "I'm afraid that his theory is pure rubbish," and continued, "How can anybody take this shoddy material seriously?" Bach scholar Ruth Tatlow has written a refutation at length, centred on the TV documentary, in the journal Understanding Bach, where she calls Jarvis's claims "flawed and untenable".

Sir <mask> (c. 1480 – 10 February 1550) of Scadbury Hall, Chislehurst in Kent, was a soldier, Member of Parliament, and Lieutenant of the Tower of London during the reign of King Henry VIII. Origins

He was the eldest son and heir of <mask> (1462-1540) of Scadbury by his wife Eleanor Writtle (pre-1465 - post-1540), the daughter and heiress of Walter Writtle of Bobbingworth in Essex. Sir <mask>, according to a monumental brass formerly in the church at Scadbury, had three brothers and seven sisters, including:
<mask> (died 1534), who married Joyce Denny (1506/7–1560), the daughter of Sir <mask>, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, and his second wife, Mary Troutbeck (died 1507), the daughter of Robert Troutbeck of Bridge Trafford, Cheshire, by whom he was the father of Sir <mask> (c.1532-1590), Principal Secretary to Queen Elizabeth I, and five daughters, Elizabeth (died 1596), Barbara, Christian, Eleanor and Mary (1527/8–1577). After <mask>'s death, Joyce (née Denny) married Sir John Carey, a younger brother of Sir William Carey, by whom she had two sons, Sir Wymond Carey and Sir Edward Carey. <mask>, who married Thomas Ayloffe, second son of William Ayloffe (died 1517), a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn, by his wife Audrey Shaa, widow of John Writtle and daughter of Sir John Shaa, a London goldsmith and Lord Mayor in 1501. Thomas Ayloffe’s elder brother, William Ayloffe (died 1569), married Anne Barnardiston, the daughter of Sir Thomas Banardiston (died 7 November 1542) of Ketton in Kedington, Suffolk, by whom he was the father of William Ayloffe (c.1535 – 17 November 1584). Cecily Walsingham.<mask>. Early origins
Although the Walsingham pedigree is said to date to the thirteenth century, the family is first recorded in the County of Kent in 1424, when Thomas I <mask> purchased the manor of Scadbury. The descent was as follows:
Thomas I <mask> (d.1457) a wealthy wine and cloth merchant in the City of London who served as a Member of Parliament for Wareham in 1410 and for Lyme Regis in 1413, both in Dorset. He married Margaret Bamme, daughter and heiress of Henry Bamme, of the City of London, a member of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. He purchased the manor of Scadbury in the parish of Chislehurst, to which additional land was added in 1433. Thomas II <mask> (1436–1467), son and heir, who married Constance Dryland (died 14 November 1476), a daughter of James Dryland, of Davington, by whom he had a son, <mask> (1462 – 10 December 1540). Constance survived him and remarried to John Green, who in 1476 was Sheriff of Kent in right of his wife.<mask>, son and heir, who married Eleanor Writtle (born before 1465, died after 1540), the daughter and heiress of Walter Writtle of Bobbingworth, Essex, by whom, according to a monumental brass formerly in the church at Scadbury, he had four sons and seven daughters,  the eldest of whom was Sir <mask> (d.1550), the subject of this article. Career

Walsingham entered the service of Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey (later 3rd Duke of Norfolk), and was knighted by him on 13 September 1513, four days after the decisive English victory over the Scots at the Battle of Flodden, in which the English army was commanded by Surrey's father Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk. In 1520 he was part of the Kent contingent accompanying King Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in Calais in June, and at the King's meeting with the Emperor Charles V at Gravelines in July. In 1521 he was appointed a sewer in the royal household, was made a freeman of the Worshipful Company of Mercers, was on the jury which tried and convicted Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, and succeeded Sir Richard Cholmondeley as Lieutenant of the Tower of London at a salary of £100 a year. He held the office until Henry VIII's death in 1547, residing in a house at the Tower, and taking personal charge of prisoners of state, among them Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, Catherine Howard, Henry Courtenay, 1st Marquess of Exeter, Henry Pole, 1st Baron Montagu, Agnes Howard, Duchess of Norfolk, Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle, Anne Boleyn, Bishop John Fisher and Sir Thomas More. It was to <mask> that More made his jest on ascending the scaffold, "I pray you, Master Lieutenant, see me safe up, and for my coming down, let me shift for myself". In the 1530s Walsingham acquired long-term leases of the manors of Tyting in Surrey and Stanground in Huntingdonshire, and in 1543 purchased the manors of Swanton Court, West Peckham and Yokes near Scadbury from Sir Robert Southwell.In 1539, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the king granted him nine houses in London, former monastic property. In 1544 he became vice-chamberlain to Henry VIII's sixth wife, Katherine Parr. He was elected to Parliament as a Knight of the Shire for Surrey in 1545. Marriages and issue
Walsingham married twice:

First marriage
Firstly he married Katherine Gounter (or Gunter) (before 1495 – c. 1526), widow of Henry Morgan of Pencoed, Monmouthshire, and a daughter of John Gounter of Chilworth, Surrey, by his wife Elizabeth Attworth (or Utworth), a daughter and heiress of William Attworth, by whom he had four sons and four daughters:
Sir <mask> (c.1526 – 15 January 1584), who married Dorothy Guildford (died 1584), the daughter of Sir John Guildford (died 5 July 1565), by whom he was the father of Sir <mask>, patron of Christopher Marlowe. <mask>, who died young. <mask>, who died young. <mask>, who died young.<mask>, who married Sir Thomas Barnardiston (died 1551), the son of Sir Thomas Barnardiston (died 7 November 1542) by Anne Lucas, the daughter of Sir Thomas Lucas (died 7 July 1531) of Little Saxham Hall, Suffolk, Solicitor-General to King Henry VII. <mask> (died 21 May 1558), who married Sir Thomas Saunders (died 18 August 1565), third but eldest surviving son of Nicholas Saunders of Charlwood, Surrey, by Alice Hungate, the daughter of John Hungate, by whom she had three sons and two daughters. <mask>, who is said to have married Richard Finch, third son of Sir William Finch, Sheriff of Kent, by his first wife, Elizabeth Cromer. <mask> is also said to have married, as his second wife, Edward Baynard (died 1575) of Lackham, Wiltshire, and to have been buried at Lacock, Wiltshire, on 20 August 1559. <mask>, who died young. Second marriage
He married secondly, Anne Jerningham, a daughter of Sir Edward Jerningham (died 6 January 1515) of Somerleyton, Suffolk, by his wife Margaret Bedingfield (died 24 March 1504). At the time of her marriage to Sir <mask>, Anne Jerningham was the widow of three successive husbands: Lord Edward Grey (died before 1517), eldest son and heir of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, and grandson of King Edward IV's wife, Elizabeth Woodville; Henry Barley (died 12 November 1529) of Albury, Hertfordshire; and Sir Robert Drury, Speaker of the House of Commons.Death and burial
<mask> died on 9 February 1550 and was buried in "a table tomb, richly ornamented with roses, acorns and foliage gilt" in the Scadbury chapel in the church of St Nicholas at Chislehurst. His son and heir, <mask>, erected a monument to his memory in 1581; the inscription begins:

A knight sometime of worthy fame,
Lieth buried under this stony bower,
Sir <mask> was his name,
Lieutenant he was of London Tower. His will, dated 8 February 1550, was proved on 8 November of that year.

<mask> (June 11, 1823 – April 7, 1895) was a lawyer, a Confederate general in the American Civil War, and the 37th Governor of Virginia. He was the youngest brigade commander and only non-professional military officer in the division that led Pickett's Charge, during which he was severely wounded. Early and family life
<mask> was born at Mountain Prospect plantation in Madison County, Virginia, the son of William and Maria Elizabeth (Allison<mask>. His father's family had emigrated from near what became Siegen, Germany, in the early 18th century. His great-grandfather had been among the miners recruited for Governor Alexander Spotswood's colony at Germanna, Virginia, and his merchant father had moved to the new town of Madison Court House in the 1790s after his own father had died falling from a horse in 1783, leaving his widow to take care of five daughters and a son. By the time young <mask> was born, his paternal grandmother and four aunts also lived at the plantation which <mask> had bought for $5,541.40 in 1800. His maternal great-grandfather, Col. John Jasper Stadler, had served on George Washington's staff as a civil engineer and planned fortifications in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina during the American Revolutionary War, and his grandfather John Stadler Allison served as an officer in the War of 1812, but died when his daughter Maria was very young.Although several of his paternal ancestors were involved in the German Reformed Church, <mask> was an elder in the local Presbyterian church and his mother was devout, but also hosted dances and parties that lasted several days. His brother, Frederick T<mask> later founded Kemper Military School. <mask> had virtually no military training as a boy, but his father and a neighboring planter, Henry Hill of Culpeper, founded Old Field School on the plantation to educate local children, including A.P. Hill, who became a lifelong friend. From 1830–1840, Kemper boarded during winters at Locust Dale Academy, which had a military corps of cadets. Kemper later attended Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) and also took civil engineering classes at nearby Virginia Military Institute. At Washington College's graduation ceremony in 1842, 19-year-old Kemper gave the commencement address, taking for a topic "The Need of a Public School System in Virginia."Kemper then returned home, where he joined a Tee-Total (Temperance) Society as well as studied law under George W. Summers of Kanawha County (a former U.S. Representative), after which Washington College awarded him a Master's degree in June 1845. He was admitted to the Virginia bar on October 2, 1846. Military and early political career
After Congress had declared war on Mexico in 1846, President <mask>. Polk called for nine regiments of volunteers. Kemper and his friend Birkett D. Fry of Kanawha County traveled to the national capital on December 15, 1846, hoping to secure commissions in the First Regiment of Virginia Volunteers. After traveling to Richmond and back to Washington for more networking, Kemper learned that he had been appointed the unit's quartermaster and captain under Col. John Hamtramck. During the Mexican–American War, Kemper received favorable reviews and met many future military leaders, but his unit arrived just after the Battle of Buena Vista and mainly maintained a defensive perimeter in Coahuila province. Honorably discharged from the U.S. Army on August 3, 1848, Kemper returned to practice law in Madison County, and neighboring Orange and Culpeper Counties.He represented many fellow veterans making land claims, as well as speculated in real estate and helped form the Blue Ridge Turnpike Company (between Gordonsville and the Shenandoah Valley. Interested in politics, Kemper first campaigned for office in 1850, but lost the contest to become clerk of the Commonwealth's constitutional convention. Promoting himself as pro-slavery, anti-abolitionist, and pro-states' rights, Kemper defeated Marcus Newman and was elected to represent Madison County in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1853 (the year his father died at age 76). A strong advocate of state military preparedness, as well as an ally of Henry A. Wise, Kemper rose to become chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. By 1858, he was serving as a brigadier general in the Virginia militia. In late 1861, Kemper became Speaker, a position he held until September 1863.Much of his term as Speaker coincided with his service in the Confederate States Army. Civil War
After the start of the Civil War, <mask> served as a brigadier general in the Provisional Army of Virginia, and then a colonel in the Confederate States Army, becoming head of the 7th Virginia Infantry. At First Bull Run, <mask> led the regiment as part of Jubal Early's brigade. His regiment was later assigned to Brigadier General A.P. Hill's brigade in Major General <mask>'s division of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. On May 26, Hill was promoted to division command and <mask>, as the ranking colonel, assumed command of the brigade. At Seven Pines, <mask>'s brigade attempted to relieve General D.H. Hill's battered troops, but had to retreat from massed enemy artillery fire and did not engage the Union infantry.Nonetheless, <mask> was promoted to brigadier general on June 3. During the Seven Days Battles, <mask>'s brigade was held in reserve at the Battle of Gaines's Mill. At the Battle of Glendale, the relatively inexperienced brigade spearheaded <mask>'s attack on the Union lines; prior to this, the only general engagement the brigade had faced took place during the Battle of Williamsburg almost two months earlier, when they had been under A.P. Hill's command. <mask>'s brigade suffered the fewest losses out of <mask>'s six brigades during the week-long confrontation. Following the Seven Days, General Robert E<mask> reorganized the army, and <mask> became a temporary division commander, commanding half of <mask>'s former division. At the Second Battle of Bull Run, <mask>'s division took part in <mask>'s surprise attack against the Union left flank, almost destroying Major General John Pope's Army of Virginia.Following Second Bull Run, the more senior Brigadier General David R. Jones took over command of the division, while <mask> reverted to brigade command. At the Battle of Antietam, <mask> was positioned south of the town of Sharpsburg, defending against Major General Ambrose E. Burnside's assault in the afternoon of September 17, 1862. He withdrew his brigade in the face of the Union advance, exposing the Confederate right flank, and the line was saved only by the hasty arrival of A.P. Hill's division from Harpers Ferry. Another army reorganization after Antietam led to <mask>'s brigade being placed in a division commanded by Brigadier General George Pickett, who had been on medical leave since being wounded at Gaines Mill. The division was held in reserve at Fredericksburg, and during the spring of 1863 was on detached duty in the Richmond area. As a result, Kemper also missed the Chancellorsville Campaign.At the Battle of Gettysburg, <mask> arrived with Pickett's division late on the second day of battle, July 2, 1863. His brigade was one of the main assault units in Pickett's Charge, advancing on the right flank of Pickett's line. After crossing the Emmitsburg Road, the brigade was hit by flanking fire from two Vermont regiments, driving it to the left and disrupting the cohesion of the assault. In spite of the danger, Kemper rose up in his stirrups to urge his men forwards, shouting "There are the guns, boys, go for them!" This act of bravado made Kemper an obvious target, and he was wounded by a bullet in the abdomen and thigh before being captured by Union troops. However, he was rescued shortly thereafter by Sgt. <mask> of the First Virginia Infantry Regiment and carried back to the Confederate lines on Seminary Ridge.General <mask> encountered Kemper being carried on a stretcher and inquired about the seriousness of his wound, which Kemper said he thought was mortal. He requested that <mask> "do full justice to this division for its work today." During the Confederate Army's retreat from Gettysburg, <mask> was again captured by Union forces. He was exchanged (for Charles K. Graham) on September 19, 1863. For the rest of the war he was too ill to serve in combat, and instead commanded the Reserve Forces of Virginia. He was promoted to major general on September 19, 1864. Postbellum career
Kemper was paroled in May 1865.Since his previous house had been destroyed in a raid led by Union officer George Armstrong Custer, his mother-in-law purchased a house for the family in Madison County. Kemper then resumed his legal career. However, the bullet that had wounded him at Gettysburg had lodged close to a major artery and could not be removed without risking his life, so he suffered groin pain for the rest of his life. Nonetheless, he tried to attract northern capital to rebuild the devastated local economy. He and former classmate and Confederate general John D. Imboden also maintained a general legal practice, which because of the times, included much bankruptcy law. Beginning in 1867, Kemper helped found Virginia's Conservative Party, initially to oppose the new state constitution adopted by a convention chaired by John Underwood (who allied with the Radical Republican faction and opposed allowing former Confederates the vote, among other measures). In 1869 Kemper allied with another former Confederate general turned railroad entrepreneur William Mahone to elect Gilbert C. Walker to the Virginia House of Delegates.After his beloved wife Bella died in September 1870 of complications from the birth of their seventh child, Kemper's political activities increased. Distraught from the loss, he no longer slept in the house they had shared, but in his law office. Kemper ran for Congress in the 7th Congressional District (after the redistricting caused by the 1870 census), but lost to incumbent John T. Harris of Harrisonburg. In the 1873 election for Governor of Virginia, as the Reconstruction Era ended and former Confederate soldiers regained voting rights, Kemper handily defeated former Know-Nothing and fellow ex-Confederate turned Republican Robert William Hughes of Abingdon, who won only 43.84% of the votes cast. Kemper's supporters included former Confederate Generals Jubal Early and Fitzhugh <mask> as well as Mahone and noted raider John Singleton Mosby. However, former Governor and Confederate General Henry A. Wise supported Hughes.Kemper served as Virginia's Governor from January 1, 1874, to January 1, 1878. He lived frugally, using his son Meade (d. 1886) as his secretary. Kemper trimmed the state budget where possible, and late in his term advocated taxing alcohol. One major political controversy involved whether to repay the state's war debt. Kemper allied with the Funder Party to pay it off; the Readjuster Party (which Mahone came to lead) opposed him. Gov. Kemper also enforced the civil rights provisions in the new state constitution, despite having opposed it originally.His February 1874 veto of a new law passed by the General Assembly that attempted to transfer control in Petersburg from elected officials (including African Americans) to a board of commissioners appointed by a judge was sustained by Virginia's Senate, although the law's proponents hanged him in effigy. General Early also vehemently disagreed with Kemper's 1875 decision to allow a militia unit of African Americans to participate in the dedication of a statue of General Stonewall Jackson. Gov. Kemper also attempted prison reform and built public schools despite budget shortages. His last major public reception, in October 1877, hosted President Rutherford B. Hayes who opened the state fair in Richmond. One modern historian analogized Kemper's Conservative philosophy (and that of other Virginia Redeemers) to that of Gov. Wade Hampton of South Carolina.Death and legacy
As his term of office ended (the state Constitution forbidding his re-election), Kemper (with his six surviving children and various domestic animals) returned to farming and his legal practice. He sold the Madison County home and purchased a house known as Walnut Hills, which overlooked the Rapidan River and Blue Ridge Mountains and was near the Orange County courthouse. However, complications from the inoperable bullet worsened, and eventually paralyzed his left side. Kemper died on April 7, 1895 and was buried in the family cemetery. Virginia erected a historic marker at Kemper's former home, which has now been restored by the Madison County Historical Society and other organizations, and is available for receptions and other activities. It is part of the Madison Courthouse historic district. His papers are held by the Library of Virginia.Because Kemper (like Mahone) supported education of African-Americans, some schools for African-Americans founded during his governorship were named after him, including Kemper School No. 4 in the Arlington District of Alexandria County, Virginia. Also, the Kemper Street Industrial Historic District in Lynchburg, Virginia straddles the former Lynchburg and Durham Railroad, construction of which began in May, 1887; the Norfolk and Southern Railroad acquired the line in 1898, which spurred that district's industrial growth. In popular media
Actor Royce D. Applegate portrayed Kemper in two films, Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003). See also

is a Japanese manga artist who is considered a "founding mother" of modern shōjo manga, especially shōnen-ai. <mask> rose to prominence in the 1970s as a member of the influential Year 24 Group, and has been described as "the most beloved shōjo manga artist of all time." Hagio's notable works include The Poe Clan (1972–1976), The Heart of Thomas (1974), They Were Eleven (1975), and A Cruel God Reigns (1993–2001). Publishing career
<mask> was born on May 12, 1949 in Ōmuta, Fukuoka Prefecture. She wanted to become a mangaka after reading Osamu Tezuka's manga Shinsen-gumi at the age of about 17, and made her professional debut in 1969 at the age of 20 with her short story Lulu to Mimi in Nakayoshi. Nakayoshi'''s publisher Kodansha wanted "bright and lively" works, and rival publisher Shogakukan sought her out. Keiko Takemiya introduced Hagio to Takemiya's editor, Junya Yamamoto, who accepted all of Hagio's works that Kodansha had rejected.Later, for Shogakukan Publishing, she produced a series of short stories for various magazines. Two years after her debut, she published Juichigatsu no Gimunajiumu (The November Gymnasium), a short story that dealt openly with love between two boys at a boarding school. The story was part of a larger movement by female manga artists at the time that pioneered shōnen-ai, a genre of girls' comics about love between young men. In 1974, <mask> developed this story into the longer Thomas no Shinzō (The Heart of Thomas). She was awarded the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1976 for her science fiction classic Juichinin Iru! (They Were Eleven) and her epic tale Poe no Ichizoku (The Poe Clan). The realism in her works, as well as those by Keiko Takemiya and Yumiko Oshima were noted as one of the causes for the rise in shojo comics in the late 1970's.In the mid-1980s, Hagio wrote her first long work – Marginal. Prior to writing Iguana Girl in 1991, Hagio had not set her works in contemporary Japan. <mask> <mask> had a role in the 2008 film Domomata no Shi (Death of Domomata). On June 11, 2009, a party was held in <mask> <mask>'s honor, "celebrating her 40th year as a professional manga artist". Approximately 200 people attended. In 2011, Joshibi University of Art and Design appointed <mask> as a guest professor. When Hagio began drawing manga, she cut large sheets of "manga paper" to B4 size, and she still uses a G-Pen and a Maru-Pen.When she began drawing manga, she used India ink and a brush, but now uses Copic markers. Personal life
<mask> is a science fiction fan, and considers Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein to have influenced her, and she has adapted several of Ray Bradbury's short stories from R is for Rocket into manga format. She lives in Saitama Prefecture. They Were Eleven (original date of publication 1975), which was part of the 1996 anthology Four Shōjo Stories. They Were Eleven is available on DVD as an anime, in both dubbed and subtitled formats. Like most anime based on manga, there are various minor changes and omissions. "Hanshin" (original date of publication 1984), a short story, which was published in issue 269 of The Comics Journal alongside an interview with <mask> <mask> conducted by Rachel Thorn.The Heart of Thomas (1974), translated by Rachel Thorn, published in a single-volume omnibus edition by Fantagraphics in 2013. Otherworld Barbara (2002–2005), translated by Rachel Thorn, published in a two-volume omnibus edition by Fantagraphics between 2016–2017. "Through Yura's Gate", a lengthy short story by <mask> <mask> that pays homage to the manga Parasyte, collected in Kodansha's Neo Parasyte M (2017). The Poe Clan (1972–1976), translated by Rachel Thorn, to be published in a two-volume omnibus edition by Fantagraphics. The first volume was released in 2019.Lil Leo (2008–2012), published in one volume by Denpa in 2021.A, A' and They Were Eleven have science fiction settings, and both They Were Eleven and X+Y include transgender elements. The science fiction aspects in particular have led to Hagio's work appealing to manga readers who do not generally like shōjo manga. A 2010 anthology, A Drunken Dream and Other Stories, collects the following stories:

"Bianca" (1970)
"Girl on Porch with Puppy" (1971)
"Autumn Journey" (1971)
"Marié, Ten Years Later" (1977)
"A Drunken Dream" (1980)
"Hanshin" (1984)
"Angel Mimic" (1984)
"Iguana Girl" (1991)
"The Child Who Comes Home" (1998)
"The Willow Tree" (2007)

These were selected by translator Rachel Thorn to be a representative sample of <mask> Hagio's whole career, with the input of a mixi fan club for Hagio.Other works

<mask> (February 25, 1754 – March 7, 1835) was an American military officer, spymaster, and politician. He is best known for his service as an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He acted as leader of the Culper Ring during the war, a celebrated network of spies in New York where major British forces were based. He also led a successful raid across Long Island that culminated in the Battle of Fort St. George. After the war, Tallmadge was elected to the US House of Representatives as a member of the Federalist Party. Early life
Tallmadge was born February 25, 1754, the son of Susannah Smith (1729–1768) and Rev. <mask>. (1725–1786), a clergyman in Setauket, New York, a hamlet of the Town of Brookhaven, New York, on Long Island.He graduated from Yale in 1773 and was a classmate of American Revolutionary War spy Nathan Hale. He served as superintendent of Wethersfield High School from 1773 to 1776. American Revolutionary War

Tallmadge was a major in the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons and was initially commissioned on June 20, 1776. He was given the position of director of military intelligence by George Washington after Nathaniel Sackett was relieved of his duties because he did not gain any ground from the enemy. Tallmadge was in charge of bringing intelligence from British-controlled New York to the Continental army, and he did so by assembling a network of spies known as the Culper Spy Ring, with the help of Abraham Woodhull and Robert Townsend. The Culper Ring was involved in revealing the betrayal of Benedict Arnold. Benedict Arnold's British contact John André was caught and taken to North Castle, where commander Colonel Jameson ordered lieutenant Allen to take the incriminating documents found with André to their commander Benedict Arnold at West Point.Tallmadge suspected André to be a spy and Benedict Arnold to be his accomplice, and he tried to have Jameson reverse his orders. He was unsuccessful, but did convince Jameson to send a rider and take Andre to Salem, eight miles east of the Hudson River and to send the documents to George Washington. Allen still reported to Benedict Arnold with Jameson's note outlining the events. Later, Jameson was chastised by Washington for warning Arnold and allowing his escape. André was placed in Tallmadge's custody awaiting execution. On November 21, 1780, Tallmadge and his dragoons rowed across Long Island Sound from Fairfield, Connecticut, to Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai, New York. The next day, they proceeded to the south shore where they captured and burned down Manor St. George.On their march back to Mt. Sinai, Tallmadge stopped in Coram, New York, and ordered the burning of 300 tons of hay which the British had been stockpiling for the winter. George Washington, on hearing the news, sent the following letter to Tallmadge:
I have received with much pleasure the report of your successful enterprise upon fort St. George, and was pleased with the destruction of the hay at Coram, which must be severely felt by the enemy at this time. I beg you to accept my thanks for your spirited execution of this business. Tallmadge served at Washington's headquarters from March 1781 until the Continental Army was disbanded in November 1783. He was admitted as an original member of The Society of the Cincinnati in the state of Connecticut when it was established in July 1783 and brevetted to the rank of lieutenant colonel on September 30, 1783. He subsequently served as Assistant Treasuer (1785–1789), Treasurer (1789–1793), Vice President (1793–1796) and President (1796–1801) of the Society of the Cincinnati in the state of Connecticut and continues to be represented by a living descendant in the society today.Later life

He established a successful mercantile and importing business and was the first president of the Phoenix Branch Bank, a position he held from 1814 to 1826. House of Representatives
On March 4, 1801, Tallmadge succeeded William Edmond as a Federalist Party member of the US House of Representatives to represent Connecticut's at-large congressional district. He served until March 3, 1817, when he was succeeded by Thomas Scott Williams. In 1829, Tallmadge was among a group of Federalists who defended Uriah Tracy against accusations by John Quincy Adams and William Plumer.

<mask> (September 1, 1903 – June 17, 1985) was an American philanthropist and humanist during the early and mid-twentieth century. She committed much of her time to volunteering and worked to change and improve the Rochester, New York area, particularly at the Strong Memorial Hospital, the East House Corporation, Lifeline, the Rochester School for the Deaf, among various other councils and committees. <mask> was also a strong advocate for establishing the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on the campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology. Personal life
<mask> (September 1, 1903 – June 17, 1985) was born to Herbert Conrad Lakin (1872–1952) and Helen Wardner Beaman (1877–1967) on her maternal grandparent's country estate named Blow-Me-Down in Cornish, New Hampshire. The oldest of four children, she and her family lived in New York City then moved to Scarsdale, New York and eventually settled down in Greenwich, Connecticut. Hettie was first educated at Brearley School in New York City and graduated from St. Timothy's School in Catonsville, Maryland. She also took courses at Barnard College and later would take American Red Cross courses in 1939.Hettie spent summers either at Blow-Me-Down or the Beaman family's summer home on Isle au Haut in Maine. Throughout her life Hettie enjoyed swimming, ice skating, singing, listening to radio broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and sailing. She also travelled Europe with her Aunt Mary Holmes and Uncle Ned Holmes. As a youth, Hettie sang with the Junior League Glee Club and the People's Chorus of New York City. She also joined the New York Junior League where she began volunteering in a settlement house and she later volunteered at the Child Welfare Department in Westchester County. On New Year's Day of 1930, Hettie Lakin met Frank Ritter <mask> when they both went to see Carmen at the opera. Nine months later on Monday, September 8, 1930 Hettie and Frank were married at Round Hill Community Church in Greenwich, Connecticut.Shortly after their wedding, the couple moved to 14 Crick Road, Oxford, England so Mr. <mask> could be educated at the University of Oxford. On May 30, 1931, Frank and <mask> <mask> welcomed their first child, Mary Ellen <mask>. The couple's second child, Frank Ritter <mask> Jr., would be born on May 9, 1933. In 1934 the <mask> family moved to the Rochester, New York area. They designed, built, and moved into a home on Ambassador Drive in Brighton, New York by the end of 1935. The third and final child of the family, Charles Lakin <mask>, was born on July 8, 1936. With a living room full of family photos, that home would become a gathering place for health and social agency staff, various committee members, traveling figure skaters, and many other friends.The <mask> family had a passion for sailing and owned two schooners named “Spindrift” and “Skookum III”. They also owned a beloved fifty-foot ketch named “Flying Gull”. Summers were spent sailing the Great Lakes and vacationing at Georgian Bay. <mask> <mask> was extremely fond of sailing and adored spending time with her husband on the "Flying Gull". Hettie dedicated much of her life to volunteerism, philanthropy, and humanism. She continued to be involved in the community even after she suffered from a paralyzing stroke in 1984, which left her in a wheelchair under the almost constant care of a nurse. Even a few days after her stroke, she left the hospital to attend a Friends of Strong event.<mask> Beaman Lakin <mask> died in her home on Ambassador Drive. Philanthropy and community involvement

Strong Memorial Hospital

<mask> <mask> began volunteering in Strong Memorial Hospital’s library in 1935 and continued to volunteer and be active with the medical center until her death in 1985. She served on various boards and committees and also helped to found the Friends of Strong. Shumway received the University of Rochester’s Associates Medal in 1968 for her 34 years of service. Mrs. <mask> was appointed to the Board of Overseers for the hospital in 1974. In 1984 she received Strong's first Hettie L. Shumway Volunteer Service Award. East House Corporation

Mrs. <mask> was a major advocate for people with mental health problems.She believed that patients leaving the Rochester Psychiatric Center needed a halfway house to continue their supervision as they adjusted to the outside community. Although Shumway faced a lot of resistance from the community, the East House Corporation was founded with her support and the first halfway house opened in 1966. At this time, she was the vice president of East House. She later became the president of East House Corp. in January 1968 and held that position until 1971. In 1981, East House Corp. named one of their houses after Mrs. Shumway. Lifeline
Hettie <mask> sustained interest in the Rochester area's Poison Control hotline and Mental Health Crisis phone service. With her financial support, these two groups were able to develop and progress.Hettie eventually brought the groups together to form Lifeline, a multi-crisis phone service for the Rochester community. Politics
Mrs. <mask> was a dedicated Republican who was known for waking up early on Election Day to vote. She became a charter member of the Susan B. Anthony Republican Club in 1949 and was on the board of directors from 1952 to 1964 and again from 1967 to 1969. Hettie was the president of the Susan B. Anthony Republican Club in 1955 and 1956.

Hettie was the Leader of District 8 from 1961 to 1966.Generosity
<mask> <mask> was known for giving money to those in need and funding various projects. She would often provide aid to extended family who were struggling to afford education, pay off a mortgage, or who needed to pay counseling fees. At one point, Hettie learned that her housekeeper was going to lose her home and so Hettie bought the house and gave it to her. Mrs. <mask> also paid for a hearing-loop to be installed in her secretary's church as a gift honoring the secretary's 25th wedding anniversary. Once Hettie bought a new roof for one of the halfway homes belonging to the East House Corporation so that the price of lunch for those in need wouldn't be raised $1 (Miller). Mental health advocacy
Hettie was very committed to the well-being of those with mental health problems, as seen in her role with East House Corporation. Within the Rochester Community she worked in several other areas involving mental health patients.Mrs. Shumway worked with esteemed psychiatrist, Dr. John Romano, of the University of Rochester to develop the Mental Health Chapter of the Health Association. When New York declared that the state would provide funds to counties who established mental health facilities, Hettie pushed for Monroe County to take the impressive opportunity, which was ultimately rejected. Once the Mental Health Chapter was established, Hettie became a member in 1949. She served as chairman of the board from 1955 to 1957 and again from 1958 to 1960.

In 1965 Hettie was in Washington with a committee searching for a new superintendent for the Rochester School for the Deaf.It was here that Hettie learned how Public Law 89-36 was searching for a place to establish NTID. Upon her return to RIT, Mrs. <mask> approached Dr. Mark Ellingson, the president of RIT with a copy of the bill and told him, "there is no place in the United States that this ought to go except Rochester Institute of Technology,". Dr. Ellingson had Professor Harold Kentner speak with the National Advisory Group who were working to find a location for NTID and Kentner went on the write the formal proposal to the group requesting the NTID be established on the RIT campus in Henrietta. On October 1, 1966, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare wrote to RIT to inform them that they had been selected as the future location of NTID. On December 20 of that year, an agreement was signed confirming the NTID site.

2015–2017
On February 18, 2015, the White House announced <mask> the first U.S. Chief Data Scientist (Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Data Policy and Chief Data Scientist). In addresses to the public, <mask> states that "The mission of the U.S. Chief Data Scientist, simply put, is to responsibly unleash the power of data to benefit all Americans" and, in addition, that his team's priority to do so by making data. In a memorandum on February 20, 2015, entitled “Unleashing the Power of Data to Serve the American People”, <mask> outlined his goals as Chief Data Scientist was in:
Providing vision on how to provide a maximum social return on federal data. Creating nationwide data policies that enable shared services and forward-leaning practices to advance our nation's leadership in the data age. Working with agencies to establish best practices for data management and ensure the long-term sustainability of databases. Recruiting and retaining the best minds in data science for public service to address these data science objectives and act as conduits among the government, academia, and industry. In his tenure, <mask> helped launch the White House's Police Data Initiative as well as the White House's Data-Driven Justice Initiative, collecting data on police activities, and worked on the Precision Medicine Initiative, aiming to build the largest database on genetic information.Law Enforcement

In 2015, President Obama initiated The President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing in response to Ferguson shootings in 2014. Included were the Police Data Initiative and the Data-Driven Justice Initiative. Police Data Initiative

The Police Data Initiative aimed to build trust with the police and their communities by releasing data sets on “stops and searches, uses of force, officer-involved shootings, or other police actions.”

Open data was also thought to increase accountability within the police. The initiative had gathered 126 jurisdictions across the country. The information would enable investigation into patterns of injustice as well as the ability to see if systems in place were wanted or working. Police departments struggled to release their data, primarily because it was not “collected well,” as <mask> had mentioned in an interview. Disorganized datasets have prevented accurate assessments.<mask> proposed that this is due to the absence of a dedicated technician whose purpose is to organize the data. Efforts were taken to improve coding abilities of police superintendents and homogenizing organization across the 18,000 jurisdictions on board. More than 170 datasets were released at the start of the initiative in 2015. Data-Driven Justice Initiative
With open police data, <mask> saw that data helped track law enforcement actions’ disproportionate interactions with minorities, the poor and those with mental health concerns. In a memorandum to the American People, <mask> said, “if all the data from law enforcement were effectively captured, analyzed, and shared, imagine how the effective and analysis of data could advance proven reforms, increase efficiency, and prevent injustice.”. Efforts to decrease the injustice is considered the Data-Driven Justice Initiative (DDJ). DDJ aimed to help governments from the county to the state level to filter low-level offenders and those with mental illness from higher level offenders and the criminal system at large.Changing the approach to pre-trial incarceration would allow low-risk offenders to shorten jail time especially if they cannot afford bail. At its start in 2015, more than 91 million people are covered by the DDJ. Medicine

Precision Medicine Initiative

<mask> had a special interest in using data to improve the medical field by way of the Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI). PMI aimed to build the largest database of genomic information to increase understanding of cancer treatments, chronic disease, and rare diseases
The initiative was started as there is not a current dataset in which analyses and correlations can be made across gender and ethnic diversities. This would help with curing diseases but also understand the health of the general population. <mask> had often stated that it would be helpful because one may very well be able to see what diseases are not actually rare, but very common. A key issue in PMI that Patil worked on was of trust.Considering vulnerability and the issue of ethics that arises in pursuing an initiative PMI, <mask> sought to develop workshops and “listening sessions” to hear specific concerns regarding the initiative. Based on the feedback, <mask> devised the “privacy and trust principles.”
The first principle in its section entitled “Data Sharing, Access, and Use”, is that “data access, use, and sharing should be permitted for authorized purposes only." Concerned with maintaining these principles grew for the future as <mask> addressed concerns about the effect of American Healthcare Act (AHCA) on contributions to PMI. He feared that, with the AHCA, people will be scared to donate their genomic information because it will expose pre-existing conditions. While there are protections in place to secure data privacy such as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) instilled in 2008, <mask> expressed a worry that the Act would not be heeded. 2017–present
<mask> was a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council before resigning in August 2017. In October 2017, it was reported that <mask> joined the executive team of Devoted Health.He is currently the Head of Technology. On November 14, 2017, <mask> announced that he was joining Venrock as an adviser. References
