<mask> (January 14, 1935 – March 7, 2019) was an American lawyer and entertainment executive. He served as President and CEO of MCA Inc. and Universal Studios for over 20 years. Early life and education
<mask>, the son of Jewish immigrants, a Ukrainian mother, Tillie (Grossman), and a Polish father, <mask>, grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas where he was born on January 14, 1935. In 1955, <mask> graduated from Columbia University and subsequently attended Columbia Law School, as both a Harlan Fiske Stone and James Kent Scholar, where he obtained his JD. <mask> was a recipient of Columbia Law School's highest honors awarded to alumni: the Medal of Excellence and the John Jay Award. Career
In the summer of 1958, <mask> arrived in California where he accepted a teaching position at UCLA School of Law. In 1959 while awaiting the results of his California Bar Examination, he joined the legal department of Revue Productions, the former television subsidiary of MCA Inc., and the predecessor of Universal Television, and began his career in the entertainment industry.In 1962, <mask> was involved in MCA's acquisition of Universal. <mask> is credited with discovering director Steven Spielberg. In the late 1960s, <mask> had seen Spielberg's first short film, Amblin, and signed the director, then 20, to a 7-year contract to the MCA/Universal Television in 1968. As recounted by Steven Spielberg on numerous occasions, <mask> famously told him, "a lot of people will stick with you in success; I'll stick with you in failure." In 1971, <mask> became president of Universal Television. In June 1973, <mask> was elected President and Chief Operating Officer of MCA, Inc. and Universal Studios, serving alongside Lew Wasserman. Having the benefit of being guided by Lew Wasserman, <mask> acknowledged that an essential part of being a mentor is having confidence in the people you're guiding and mentoring.Together they transformed Universal from a second-string studio, dependent on its television productions, into a major player. Under <mask>'s leadership, Universal released what were, at the time of each of their releases, the highest-grossing films of each of the last three decades of the twentieth century. All three films were Universal/Spielberg projects, beginning with 1975's Jaws, 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and concluding with 1993's Jurassic Park. During pre-production, Jaws was always on thin ice. <mask> attached Spielberg to the project and despite many headwinds, pushed for the picture to be released. He hired his wife to appear in the film.When 1975's Jaws ran over budget, <mask> had Spielberg's back—what skeptics dismissed as an overpriced B-movie became a horror classic that defined the new summer-blockbuster genre. (The $471 million it collected worldwide would be more than $1.9 billion today.) Other high-performing films credited to him are Schindler's List (1993) and Back to the Future (1985). <mask> famously wanted to change the name from "Back to the Future" to "Space Man From Pluto" despite the film having nothing to do with outer space, spacemen, or the dwarf planet Pluto. In 1982, Thomas Keneally published his historical novel Schindler's Ark, which he wrote after a chance meeting with Leopold Pfefferberg in Los Angeles in 1980. <mask> sent director Spielberg a copy of the book along with a New York Times review. <mask> greenlit the film on condition that Spielberg made Jurassic Park first.Spielberg later said, "He knew that once I had directed Schindler I wouldn't be able to do Jurassic Park." The picture was assigned a small budget of $22 million, as Holocaust films are not usually profitable. Spielberg forwent a salary for the film, calling it "blood money", and believed the film would flop. The film was a box office success, bringing in over $320 million and is considered a historic motion picture that poignantly captured the Holocaust. <mask> saw significant opportunity in the music industry and led MCA Music Entertainment's (later renamed Universal Music Group) acquisition of Motown in 1988 for $61 million and Geffen Records in 1990 for $550 million. In 1982, <mask> was quoted saying, "You'd better start saving money to pay your attorney's fees, I view litigation as a profit center" during a meeting to get Nintendo to pay Universal royalties for Nintendo's Donkey Kong franchise. Later when Universal sued Nintendo, this quote was brought up in court.Nintendo was found non-infringing, and it was also revealed that Universal knew King Kong was in the public domain all along. (See also Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd.)

In 1984, as part of MCA's potential acquisition of The Walt Disney Company, <mask> agreed to vacate his role as MCA President in order to allow Disney CEO Ron W. Miller to assume the role. Despite coming close to actually happening, however, Wasserman strongly disagreed and said that <mask> should stay as MCA President, causing the deal to collapse entirely. His battle with Terry Gilliam over the final cut of the movie Brazil was the subject of a book and documentary entitled The Battle of Brazil. In 1990, <mask> and Lew Wasserman negotiated a $6.59 billion sale of MCA and Universal to Japan's Matsushita Electric in cash and securities. <mask> departed Universal in July 1995, following the takeover of the studio by the Seagram Company. He produced several feature films through his production company The Bubble Factory over the decade that followed.Boards and honors

He was also a member of the Board of Trustees of Pitzer College (one of the Claremont group of colleges), the Board of The American Jewish Committee, the Board of Research To Prevent Blindness and the Board of Trustees of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. He was the Vice Chairman of Human Rights Watch and the co-founder of the Children's Action Network. He was honored by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force for his life's work in civil rights and inclusive support of the LGBT community. He received Columbia College's John Jay Award in 1981 for distinguished professional achievement, the American Jewish Committee's Human Relations Award in 1982, the National Conference of Christians and Jews Humanitarian Award in 1983, and Pioneer Of The Year Award in 1984 from the Motion Picture Pioneers, as well as the rank of Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1984 bestowed by the French government.

Rebecca Marie "<mask>" <mask> (3 June 1998 – 19 February 2015) was a British student from Bristol who was murdered in 2015 at the age of 16. In November 2015, her step-brother, Nathan Matthews, was found guilty of her murder and was sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole after 33 years. His girlfriend, Shauna Hoare, was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 17 years in prison, although Matthews had insisted to police that she had nothing to do with the killing, or dismembering <mask>' body and hiding the parts. Both Matthews and Hoare were also convicted of conspiracy to kidnap, preventing the lawful burial of a body, perverting the course of justice and possession of two stun guns. Disappearance, investigation, body discovery and arrests
<mask> was last seen at home in St George, Bristol, on the morning of 19 February 2015 by her step-mother Anjie Galsworthy, a multiple sclerosis sufferer, who left the house at around 11:15 A.M for a hospital appointment. <mask> was reported missing at around 4 pm the following day. Investigators found that her phone, laptop and tablet computer were missing from the house, but she had not taken any money or spare clothes with her and did not tell anyone that she was going away.On 22 February, Avon and Somerset Police made their first appeal for information about her disappearance, and the following day, her father and grandmother appeared at a press conference appealing for her return. An online campaign using the hashtag "#FindBecky" was launched on social media, reaching more than two million people worldwide. Police searches focused on a number of properties in Barton Hill, Southmead, St George's Park and Troopers Hill nature reserve. In addition, searches were made in nearby open spaces and park areas, as well as house to house inquiries. Searches were also organised by public volunteers in areas including in Wharf Road in Fishponds, Trym Valley and Badock's Wood. Police made a public appeal for information regarding the movements of a black Vauxhall Zafira between 19 and 23 February. Initial inquiries focused on the belief that <mask> had disappeared after leaving the family home, based on statements given by her step-brother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare, who were at the house at the time.They said they had not seen <mask> but "heard the door slam" and assumed she had left. On 28 February, Matthews and Hoare were arrested in connection with <mask>'s disappearance. On 2 March, they were re-arrested on suspicion of murder. The following day, <mask>'s dismembered body was found at a property in Barton Court, Barton Hill. On 4 March, Matthews was charged with murder. On 6 March, four other people who had been arrested were charged with assisting an offender, having been accused of helping to hide or dispose of <mask>'s body. A 23-year-old man who had also been arrested was released without charge.On 22 June, Hoare, who was originally charged with perverting the course of justice, was charged with murder. Matthews and Hoare were also charged with conspiracy to kidnap, preventing the lawful burial of a body and possession of an illegal weapon. The couple were also charged with four unrelated counts of making indecent images of children. Matthews was also charged on unrelated counts of sexual assault and voyeurism. <mask>' funeral took place at St Ambrose Church in Whitehall, Bristol, on 17 April 2015 and was described by her family as "an occasion to celebrate <mask>'s life". The service was followed by a private interment for her family and friends at Avon View Cemetery. Trial, verdicts and sentencing
The murder trial began on 6 October 2015 at Bristol Crown Court.It was the prosecution's case that <mask> was suffocated in her bedroom during a "sexually-motivated" kidnap plot carried out by Matthews and Hoare. According to the prosecution, after the killing, Matthews and Hoare put <mask>'s body into the boot of their car and stayed at the house for several more hours, during which time other family members arrived home. Later that day, they drove back to their own house, where over the next few days they dismembered her body using a knife and a circular saw and put the remains into bags and boxes, which were then hidden in a neighbour's shed. Matthews admitted killing <mask>, but denied committing murder. He instead admitted manslaughter, telling the court that he had tried to kidnap his step-sister as a way of scaring her into changing what he perceived as her bad behaviour, but the plan went wrong and he accidentally killed her. Matthews insisted the killing took place while Hoare was in the garden, and that she was not involved. Hoare, who also denied murder, said she had no knowledge of the murder and had played no part in it, describing text messages she had exchanged with Matthews about kidnapping schoolgirls in the months before as "unfortunate" and "sarcastic".The prosecution claimed that the text messages between the two, as well as other content found at their home, suggested "a shared unnatural interest in attractive teenage females". The prosecution also relied on CCTV evidence of the movements of Matthews and Hoare on the day <mask> was last seen alive, and in the days which followed. On 19 February 2015, before going to Crown Hill, they were seen in a Tesco supermarket buying batteries, which were allegedly needed for stun guns which they intended to use in the kidnap. Footage from the day after <mask> was killed showed Matthews buying the circular saw that was used to dismember her body, and between 20 and 22 February, he and Hoare were captured shopping for cleaning products which it was said they required to clean the bathroom where the dismemberment took place. DNA linked both Matthews and Hoare to items that were found in the shed alongside the remains, and an expert was called to give evidence who said it would be "easier" to carry out the dismemberment if more than one person was involved. On 11 November 2015, after 3 hours and 27 minutes of deliberation, the jury found Matthews guilty of murder and Hoare guilty of manslaughter. Both were also convicted of conspiracy to kidnap, perverting the course of justice, preventing the lawful burial of a body and possession of two stun guns.Two men, James Ireland and Donovan Demetrius, were cleared of assisting an offender, which related to the moving and storing of packages containing <mask>'s remains. Demetrius's brother Karl and his girlfriend Jaydene Parsons, who owned the shed where the remains were stored, had admitted the same charge at an earlier pre-trial hearing, though both insisted they did not know the true contents of the packages. On 5 February 2016, Karl was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment and Parsons was sentenced to 16 months' imprisonment. On 13 November 2015, Justice Dingemans sentenced Matthews to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 33 years and Hoare to 17 years in prison. In his sentencing remarks, the judge agreed with the prosecution's belief that the planned kidnap was for a "sexual purpose", telling Matthews he had "a fixation with having sex with petite teenage girls" and that he believed Hoare had been "persuaded to participate in this fixation." He added: "Finally I should like to pay public tribute to the family of <mask> for the dignified way in which they have conducted themselves throughout these proceedings" and then continued: "Hearing the evidence during the trial has been difficult for anyone but it is plain that it has been an immense burden for the family." Post-trial events
In February 2016, a wooden bench was unveiled in <mask>'s memory, located in Goat's Field, close to her home.The bench, carved by Andy O'Neill, was funded by the Neighbourhood Watch Partnership. A painted mural was also erected in memory of <mask> in a park close to where she lived, as well as a lamp that was funded by her former college. In March 2016, <mask>'s father, Darren Galsworthy, released a memoir which described his daughter's life, her murder and the subsequent criminal trial of those responsible. Entitled <mask>: The Heartbreaking Story of <mask>, the book was published by Harper Collins. It was later re-titled to The Evil Within when released in paperback. Matthews and Hoare lodged appeals against their convictions and sentences, but on 23 June 2016, the Court of Appeal rejected their applications, saying that there was "no reasonable argument that the convictions are unsafe or that the sentences were wrong in principle or manifestly excessive".

<mask> (born 8 September  1948) is a Swedish aeronautical engineer, pilot, adventurer and entrepreneur. He is particularly known for his series of record-breaking trans-oceanic hot air balloon flights and, later, attempts to be the first to fly a Rozière balloon around the Earth – all with British entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson. He is also the founder of eponymous Lindstrand Balloons hot air balloon manufacturer based in Oswestry, England. Lindstrand not only flies balloons, but many other aircraft as well, and holds an airline transport pilot's licence for single and multi-engined land and sea aeroplanes and helicopters, and a commercial pilot's licence for autogyros, airships and gliders. His long standing dream to make a flight around the world in a hot air balloon (as opposed to a Rozière or gas balloon which requires no constant source of heated air) still remains unrealized. His distance, duration and altitude records have made him one of the best known balloonists and aerostat designers and engineers in the world. Early life

Lindstrand's aeronautical career began in the Swedish Air Force where he was an Engineering Officer.His first balloon flight in the early 1970s was the result of a bet. He built a makeshift balloon and successfully flew it across the runway while in the Swedish Air Force to claim victory. (When he flew more conventional military aircraft, he chose to use call sign, Polar Per.) Lindstrand later gained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering and worked for Saab Aircraft in Sweden and Lockheed in the United States. He saw his second hot air balloon in 1975 when a neighbour in Sweden purchased it from a British company. When Lindstrand learned that this new balloon was supposed to be state-of-the-art, he decided that he could do better. Company history
With Swedish aircraft engineer and entrepreneur, Håkan Colting, he formed Colting Balloons which operated in Ireland from 1976.In 1978 the company moved to Oswestry, England, to be closer to major markets in the UK and Europe. When Håkan Colting moved to Canada, Lindstrand continued to run the renamed Colt Balloons (later Thunder & Colt Balloons after acquiring UK-based Thunder Balloons). In December 1991 Lindstrand founded Lindstrand Balloons Ltd. and later created a specialized aerospace company, Lindstrand Technologies Ltd. (both based in Oswestry) to manufacture and repair aerostats, airships, gas balloons, passenger-carrying tethered aerostats and other fabric engineering products (including architectural structures, innovative fire-safety devices for road tunnels and inflatable flood defence barriers). In 2002, Lindstrand Balloons was asked to manufacture the complex parachute for the Mars-lander, Beagle 2. Beagle 2 was launched in June 2003, but supposedly failed to land successfully on the Planet Mars on Christmas Day 2003. However, in January 2015 was it located on the surface of Mars in a series of images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera. The images suggest that it landed safely, but two of the spacecraft's four solar panels failed to deploy, blocking the spacecraft's communications antenna.Follow the Beagle 2 link above for more info. Lindstrand Balloons, in partnership with Daimler Chrysler Aerospace of Germany, was awarded a design contract by the European Space Agency to develop a high altitude long endurance airship for possible use in the telecommunications market. Resulting from this, Lindstrand was awarded the German-based Korber Prize for engineering excellence. Record flights

From early in his business career, Lindstrand's main interest and ambition lay in pushing the boundaries of lighter-than-air technology and he subsequently captured every absolute world record for hot air balloon flight. Ascending from Plano, Texas, on 6 June 1988, Lindstrand set a new world altitude record for hot-air balloons, reaching 19,811 meters (64,997 feet). The record stood until 26 November 2005, when Vijaypat Singhania exceeded it. In January 1991, in  the Virgin Pacific Flyer (a hot air balloon measuring 74,000 m³ (2,600,300 ft³), designed and built by Thunder & Colt), Lindstrand and Branson completed the longest flight in lighter-than-air history when they flew 6761 miles from Japan to Northern Canada.Their flight set two new world records for distance and duration and they broke their own ground speed record, recording  245 mph (395 km/h). The Virgin Pacific Flyer still remains the largest hot air balloon ever built. In an attempt to be the first to fly a balloon of any type around the world, in December 1998, <mask>, partnered by Richard Branson and Steve Fossett, flew for 7 days and covered over 20,000 km in a Rozière balloon, launching from Morocco and landing in the Pacific Ocean near to rescue services in Hawaii. Rather less successful was his attempt in 1983 to achieve the world altitude record for hot-air balloons. Sponsored by the English and Welsh Milk Industry, a vast balloon emblazoned with "Milk's Gotta Lotta Bottle" was prepared for launch to be broadcast on live television early one Saturday morning. Adverse weather conditions led to the mission being aborted, but the balloon filled with air whilst being towed along the ground. <mask> was holding one of the ropes, and was lifted 30 feet into the air.On letting go, he fell to the ground, sustaining a dislocated shoulder. The accident, including the fall, was seen and heard on the television broadcast. Recognition

Lindstrand received the Royal Aero Club's Gold Medal from Prince Andrew twice, in 1989 and 1991, and the Royal Aero Club's Britannia Trophy in 1988. He is a recipient of America's highest flying award, the Harmon Trophy, given to him by Vice President Quayle in the White House. In February 2006, he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Institute of British Architects for "his highly innovative work in the field of inflatables and their application to habitable structures". Lindstrand is also in the Guinness Hall of Fame. References

<mask> (August 17, 1935 – October 28, 2017) was a principal timpanist and percussionist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. He composed well-known pieces for the marimba such as "Yellow After the Rain" and "Sea Refractions"; it is said that these works were composed because <mask> felt that there was a lack of musically interesting material that would introduce his students to four-mallet marimba techniques. Biography
<mask> began his career in the United States Army Symphony Orchestra. He later was principal percussionist of the Dallas Symphony before taking the principal percussion position in the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1969. When principal timpanist William Kraft retired in 1981 to pursue his career as a composer, <mask> stepped up to assume the role as timpanist, a position he occupied through the Los Angeles Philharmonic's 2005/2006 season. <mask> was well known for his prodigious sight reading ability. <mask> became the applied percussion teacher at California State University Los Angeles shortly after joining the LA Philharmonic.During his tenure as timpanist, he took the position as professor of percussion at the University of California, Los Angeles. In May 2012, <mask> retired from teaching. <mask> was also a member of the Philharmonic New Music Group and recorded a wide array of contemporary works as a chamber musician. <mask> held the Performer's Certificate and bachelor's and master's degrees from the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with William Street. While at Eastman, he was a member of the original "Marimba Masters." Upon graduation, he served as timpanist with the 7th U.S. Army Symphony Orchestra. As a widely published author and composer, Peter's works and instructional materials are highly regarded throughout the United States and abroad.He owned and operated a music publishing company that handled percussion works exclusively. His faculty positions included the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara from 1990 to 2002, and UCLA, where he taught percussion and conducted the percussion ensemble. In 2006 he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Sabian Cymbal Company. After a year of declining health, <mask> died on October 28, 2017, at the age of 82. In a newspaper article announcing his death, symphonic conductor James Touchi-<mask>- who was also <mask>' cousin- was quoted as saying, "It's not an exaggeration to say that <mask> was among the dozen best timpanists in the world." In a letter to <mask>, the late conductor and percussionist Frederick Fennell wrote, "I may make music long enough to run into a better percussionist than you, but I doubt it very much."

<mask>, born 21 January 1752 in River, died in Rennes on 19 September 1835, was a French Jurisconsult. He is cited significantly in Proudhon's seminal work What Is Property?. Biography

The period of the Ancien Régime
Raised by his mother, he went to secondary school in Caen, then studied at the University of Rennes, whose faculty includes then Messrs. Loncle, Drouin, Loisel, <mask>c. He earned his doctorate at twenty-five, December 28, 1776, then April 12, 1778, through the competition, the title of associate professor at the University of Rennes. He then completed his studies in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, where he draws some ideas of legislation compared, that he would later use. He held his Professorship until the Revolution, while spend several famous become men in Rennes: Jean-Denis Lanjuinais Lanjuinais]], Professor of canon law, Isaac the Hatter The Chapellier]], <mask>, simple student in law; Félix Julien Jean Bigot husband Husband Bigot]] and Fermon. The French Revolution
Patriot 1789, it is not without pleasure beginnings like most lawyers, trained in the school of Montesquieu, French and Voltaire and the English representative system and the principles of 1789 Toullier of district administrator for some time, but is soon dismisses its functions.During the terror (French Revolution) Terror]], he is very dedicated to his brother, priest not sworn, pursued by Carrier and tracked down pension in retirement. He bought the Manor of Saint-Armel in Bruz. He became a judge of the Court of Ille-et-Vilaine, then comes back to the bar and defended before the courts and councils of war several accused for political reasons. 1799, its name is carried on a list of hostages to the exile and detention, but he is saved by the coup d'état of 18 brumaire. Of many disputes between the State and the families of emigrants are referred to arbitration. The Napoleonic period
Appointed Professor in the reorganization of the University, he wished the Chair of Roman law, but gets French right. Despite this disappointment, this has earned us the remarkable book composed by him, and his notebooks, written for his classes, contained the germ.1811 (it was almost sixty years), he began the publication of his book, and he received his appointment to the deanery, with a flattering letter of Fontanes, then grand master of the University. We know that political views have always raised many storms in Britain, and especially in Rennes. The restoration
Toullier life remains dedicated to his duties as a professor and the completion of this important work. She is troubled by a mishap to which he devoted a quite strong preface placed in front of its eighth volume. 1816, students used tablets of wood to collect notes, following the course. Was found on these shelves of rebus species, initial letters that could explain in several senses, which was infinitely criminal (it's even Toullier who says). The police was educated early teachers; the tablets were seized and it punishes the guilty judged student.Toullier realized that's the Commission of public instruction, to which the report of the Commissioner of police was sent. 31 December 1816, she made a decree which suspended his duties as Dean Toullier, "" seen wearing minutes he had found in the audiences of the Faculty of law of the injurious inscriptions to the legitimate Government, and waited. "the students were not properly monitored and that he not them had not been inspired feelings such as the State was entitled to expect". An order on February 5, 1817 named a commission to inform against the guilty students. The King reserved to know his will against the teachers. An inspector was sent to Rennes; the denouncements were made against teachers. A Committee of some people was consulted, and all was finished by a report in which Toullier was not criminalized, but Jean-<mask> Legraverend was dismissed February 12, 1817.Then Jacques-Joseph Corbière Corbiere]], who then was Minister of the Interior, was presented for the vacant Chair. «"We had always wanted, said Toullier, see Mr. of Corbiere among us.» He is a student of our old faculties; I had been his examiner during his thesis of license, April 3, 1788... All of my colleagues share my feelings for him. He was introduced... " "If Toullier wanted the appointment of Mr. of Corbiere, he did not expect him awarded the Dean, which left her with only the title of Dean of age and services. Here is the explanation Toullier give thereby: "" the talents of Mr. of Corbiere had developed in the National Gallery, he was regarded as one of the leaders of the opposition. " He had energi-manifest regimes, in the gallery and in printed reports, opinions contrary to the University. The president of the commission knew him a lot; Maybe he wanted to win a formidable opponent, because it was expected to see strongly attacking the University. " »

The preface to Toullier, where we have drawn this story, acknowledges that Mr. of Corbiere could be named Dean, the three years of the old deanery being expired.Toullier complains only for having been accused and sentenced without proof. In addition, the appointment of Mr. of Corbiere had not preceded the presentation of two candidates, as was the order of the 17 February 1818. Toullier does not fail to remind note that, some time ago, in a similar circumstance, the confreres of Victor Proudhon Proudhon]] in Dijon had refused to replace it. The Dean's office was visited Toullier in 1830. He died at Rennes on 19 September 1835. He was President of the Association of lawyers of this city and member of the order of the Medal of honor. 1864, rue Toullier in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, of the Paris law school Faculty of law]] and Sorbonne, was renamed in tribute.Since 2012, one of the amphitheaters of the Faculty of law and science policy the name of <mask>ullier reindeer door.

is not devoid of elegance. The book lack of proportion: the beginnings are not
developed, but the "Treaty on the property and its amendments" announces the author of the 'treaty obligations'. In his "treaty obligations", he surpassed Pothier, said M. Dupin ("letters on the legal profession"), calling him the "modern Pothier". It is, he says, the most perfect of the works that have appeared on the code. "According to Merlin, Toullier is wiser, more strongly reasoned and better distributed than Pothier. The "Treaty of the marriage contract" following is far worth the 'treaty obligations'; He feels the old age of the author.

<mask> (born April 13, 1956) is an  American former rare map dealer and convicted art thief. He was found guilty in 2006 of stealing 97 rare maps originally valued at more than US$3 million, and sentenced to 42 months in prison. Early life and career
<mask> grew up in Bedford, New Hampshire, and graduated from The Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire. After graduating from Hampshire College, he became a dealer in rare maps. Working in early and rare maps of the world and North America, he was instrumental in helping others to build up two major collections that were subsequently donated to research libraries: the Lawrence H. Slaughter collection now in the New York Public Library and the Norman B. Leventhal Collection at the Boston Public Library. Although Smiley appeared to have a successful career, he was actually mired in debt. He turned to stealing maps from libraries and rare book collections and then reselling them to unsuspecting buyers to make ends meet.Thefts and arrest
On June 8, 2005, the discovery of an X-Acto blade on the floor of the reading room in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University led to <mask>'s arrest. Although three maps on his person matched those missing from books he had just examined in the Beinecke, he protested his innocence. It was not until his court appearance a year later (June 22, 2006) that he confessed to having stolen a total of 97 maps from six institutions — Boston Public Library, Harvard University (Houghton Library), Newberry Library (in Chicago), New York Public Library (the Rare Book and Map Divisions), and Yale University (Beinecke Library and the Sterling Memorial Library) in the United States, as well as the British Library in London. At the time of his arrest, the British Library had already identified him as a suspect and was about to call in the police. Smiley originally said he had been stealing maps for approximately seven years but later reduced that figure to four years. In August 2015, Ronald Grim, a curator of the Boston Public Library, traveled to an antiquities dealer in New York to confirm what he recognized to be a map stolen from the library years prior. It was a rare map advertised in that New York antiques dealer’s summer catalog, and had been created by explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1612.It provided a description of the New England coast and what would later become Canada. According to library records, the map was last seen by <mask>y inside the library on January 2, 2003. A photograph of the map taken by the library in 1992 was key in proving the map was owned by the Boston Public Library, and after months of legal wrangling it was finally returned. The recovery of the Champlain map led to discussions on whether Smiley (still living on Martha’s Vineyard) stole more maps than recorded, and what more can be done to recover them. Sentencing
At his federal sentencing on September 27, 2006, Judge Janet Bond Arterton took note of his cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation:  "If you steal human treasures, then you will go to prison, but if you help recover them, this will be taken into account and weighed in the balance". Since all but ten of the 97 maps Smiley admitted stealing had been recovered, he was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment. Later, in May 2007, he was ordered to pay US$2.3 million in restitution.(The original valuation on the stolen maps had been over US$3 million.) Reported losses by a handful of leading dealers who had unwittingly sold stolen maps acquired from Smiley ran to more than US$400,000 each in three cases; no details have been given about any reimbursement. A second sentencing before a state judge, Richard Damiani, on 13 October 2006, confirmed the earlier sentence, though the judge was critical of the trust placed in Smiley's statements by his federal counterpart. Coverage
The case was widely covered across the United States and elsewhere. Smiley pleaded guilty and he was never cross-examined. Apart from the details he supplied himself, much of the available information came from journalists. Some suspected that Smiley had taken more maps than he admitted.Each of the affected libraries issued lists of missing maps. Several of the entries matched copies of books, now missing their maps, which Smiley had examined. For example, Smiley had admitted stealing from Harvard University an example of the map of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, illustrating a letter from Hernán Cortés (1524), but a prior photograph of the example missing from Yale's Beinecke Library proved instead that it was theirs. Several questions remain unanswered, in particular about the origin and purpose of high quality facsimiles of early maps, some found on Smiley's person when he was arrested, and others in books he examined. Smiley is the subject of a non-fiction book, The Map Thief: The Gripping Story of an Esteemed Rare-Map Dealer Who Made Millions Stealing Priceless Maps, written by Michael Blanding and published by Gotham Books on May 29, 2014. Legacy

As a result of Smiley's thefts, research libraries are now more aware of the vulnerability of maps illustrating volumes in their rare book collections, and are improving their documentation and security procedures. At the same time they appreciate the importance to scholars of continued access to such works.The changes are noticeable at Yale's Sterling Memorial Library, where a comprehensive program of cataloging and digitizing the early map collection is under way, funded largely by a donation of US$100,000 from William Reese, who had acted as Yale's advisor throughout the Smiley affair. Some libraries now monitor their reading rooms with continuous video surveillance. Smiley was not the first major map thief. Miles Harvey's book The Island of Lost Maps — about the convicted map thief Gilbert Bland — describes a number of earlier thieves including two Europeans active in or before 2001. However, Smiley may be responsible for more financial and cultural loss than any of his predecessors. Smiley was released from prison on January 15, 2010. References

<mask>, Rev. (1864-1953) was a Welsh astronomer and priest. He became a senior figure within the Welsh Anglican Church and is well known for his astronomical writing published in Welsh and English. Early life and education
<mask> was born in the village of Pencarreg in Carmarthenshire, south-west Wales. He attended Alcwyn's School in Carmarthen and a grammar school in Lampeter before studying at St David's College, Lampeter. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Theology in 1885 and won prizes for science and the Welsh language. [1] <mask> lectured at a college in Coventry for a year before his religious ordination in 1887.Clerical career
<mask> <mask> had a varied and successful clerical career within the Anglican Church. He was first ordained as a deacon at St. Asaph Cathedral, Denbighshire, in 1887 and priested in 1888. <mask> remained based in Welsh parishes, serving as a curate of Dyserth, Denbighshire, between 1887–90 and of Rhos-ddu between 1890-1895. He served as a vicar of St. Asaph (1895-1901) and of the parish of Gyffylliod (1901-9), before settling in his role as vicar of the village church in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant. <mask> remained in this remote parish community in the Berwyn Mountains for nearly three decades, until 1938. [2]

Parish historian

<mask> <mask> had a profound interest in the history of the parish of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, where he served as vicar for most of his life. He lived in the church vicarage, one of the largest vicarages in the St. Asaph bishopric, set in a two-acre garden.This was also the residence of another illustrious historical personage associated with the area, Dr William Morgan, who served as vicar of St Dogfans between 1578-88 and translated the Bible into the Welsh language. <mask> expressed his interest in the social, archeological and religious history of his parish in a Welsh language publication entitled Hanes Plwyf Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant ('The History of the parish of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant') first published in 1940 and translated into English by Ceinwen Edwards in 1998. This parish history includes facts and anecdotes about salient local landmarks such as the nearby Pistyll Rhaedr waterfall, and a number of nearby standing stones (menhirs) and barrows. As well as discussing the area's ancient, druidic history, <mask> touches on aspects of village's religious life, folklore and engagement with ancient healing magic, such as the use of elder bark to heal cancerous skin growths. <mask> wrote at length about the interior of the Church of St Dogfans, describing it as 'beautiful' and noting 'that the building is very old, though, naturally, it has been restored many times." One of the adaptations of the church interior that <mask> was personally responsible for included the painting of stars and planets on the ceiling of the Church. Astronomical writing
On 31 January 1923 <mask> was elected to the membership of the British Astronomical Association.He was proposed by Arthur Mee. On 9 November 1923 <mask> was elected to the fellowship of the Royal Astronomical Society. These elections followed a life-time's interest in science and astronomy in evidence since his student days. One of <mask>' most popular books, The Marvels of the Sky: An Introduction to Popular Astronomy (1921), was written while he lived in the vicarage in Llanrhaeadr. In the author's preface, <mask> dedicates his book ‘to my constant and faithful companion, my old Refractor telescope’. <mask>' telescope was a four-inch telescope manufactured by the London optician Charles Tulley. The other astronomical writing by <mask> is the Welsh language text Seryddiaeth a seryddwyr ('Astronomy and Astronomers'), 1923.Published sermons
Another format that <mask> used to express his faith and interest in astronomy, were his sermons. He published Ad Astra, a collection of eight astronomical sermons concerned with the relationship between science and religion, in 1930. In his introduction to the book <mask> defines these rhetorical pieces as 'a short series of sermons, or addresses, of an astronomical character, on the religious aspect of the science.’ The first sermon, 'In the Beginning, God', explores the conflict between science and religion. <mask> discusses several controversial points, such as the implications that scientific estimates for age of the planet hold for the story of creation in Genesis and the implications that Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution hold for Christian faith. Subsequent sermons explore astronomical themes both within the context of Christianity and in a broader, secular context. For example, his sixth sermon, 'Are the Planets Inhabited?’ discusses the possibility of alien life forms and his seventh sermon, ‘Which was the Star of Bethlehem?' discusses the scientific basis, as well as the broader spiritual and metaphorical meaning of this well-known Star.In 1949 <mask> published Myfyrion min yr hwyr, (Evening Reflections) a volume of Welsh language preaching and addresses. <mask>' work participates in a tradition of famous scientific churchmen such as <mask>, the metaphysical poet and Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, whose well-known interest in astronomy and the Scientific Revolution found expression in his religious sermons as well as his lyric poetry. <mask> enjoyed a high reputation for his sermons within his lifetime and preached at St. Paul's Cathedral in London in 1939. According to the author Mary Gwendoline Ellis, <mask> 'had an exceptional memory and he could conduct church services almost completely from memory'. Later years
In 1938 <mask> retired and moved to Aberystwyth, reputedly to be in close proximity to the National Library of Wales. He named his house in Aberystwyth 'Ad Astra', after the name of his book. Subsequently, <mask> returned to his native village of Pencarreg where he died on 19 April 1953.He is buried in the graveyard of Pencarreg church. References

<mask> was the nom de guerre of the Frenchman, <mask>, who was born in Saint-Berthevin, near Laval, in the department of Mayenne on 30 October 1757 and died 18 July 1794 in Olivet, Mayenne. He was a counter-revolutionary, an insurrectionist and a staunch royalist. Of the four Cottereau brothers—<mask>, Pierre, François, and <mask>, the second-born, was the one called chouan ("the silent one") by their father. Others say his nickname came from an imitation of the call of the tawny owl (the chouette hulotte) he customarily used as a recognition signal. Less flatteringly, <mask>'s young comrades nicknamed him "the boy liar" (le Gars mentoux or le garçon menteur). The 1926 Luitz-Morat film Jean Chouan starred Maurice Lagrenée as Chouan. Reliability of sources

Much of the biographical material on <mask> is based on the work of Jacques Duchemin des Cépeaux, in a work written in 1825 at the request of the king, Charles X, who ruled France from 1824 until 1830.Cépeaux is unapologetically a royalist partisan, and he presents a number of claims that may be unfounded. The story of <mask> is, therefore, almost certainly, in large part, legendary. The persistence of the legend can be explained by the fact it has been continuously nourished by a small faction of Catholics and royalist-legitimists who have remained active up to the present day. <mask>'s role in history is, at best, questionable, and archives, even those belonging to aristocrats living in the region, indicate that he was completely unknown prior to the Bourbon restoration in 1814. One thing is certain: the republicans, in their effort to quell the insurgency, contributed to the birth of the legend. The name, <mask>, may, in fact, have been invented by republican authorities who were unable to name the true leaders of the insurrection against their own 1789 revolution, the revolution that had unseated the royal house of Bourbon in the first place. There is, in much of the <mask> material, a slight whiff of Robin Hood and his merry men.<mask> is a romantic hero who, with a small band of devoted followers living in the forest, stage courageous raids against a hated regime. How much of this is romantic legend and how much is historically factual will probably always be open to debate, but, in either case, the shoddiness of the history of this "hero" embarrasses many historians. The tales, true or not, have proved to be a rich source of literary inspiration. Most notably, Honoré de Balzac drew from this history in writing the last of his series of novels, La Comédie humaine—a work called "The Chouans". Nonetheless, it should be remembered that there is a history, indisputably true, associated with the figure of <mask>; it is the history of a bloody and costly civil war in western France. Origins
Pierre Cottereau, a lumberjack and maker of wooden shoes (sabots), lived with his wife, <mask> (born <mask>yné), as a tenant at la Closerie des Poiriers (literally, the "pear orchard enclosure"), a farm halfway between the villages of Saint-Ouën-des-Toits and Bourgneuf-la-Forêt in Mayenne, France. (An 'enclosure' is, in fact, a small farm, usually less than twenty acres in extent, and the name comes from the need for farmers to enclose their properties with fences or hedges to prevent cattle, sheep, and other domesticated animals from running free.)Tenancy on this piece of property had been established by the Moyné family about 1750. The elder Cottereau, like his father before him, made his family's living by criss-crossing the wooded regions of western France, from the forest between Mondevert and Le Pertre to the forest of Concise, felling trees, stacking and seasoning the timber, and making wooden shoes, which he sold in the villages of Mayenne. From the local parish registers, particularly those of the parish of Olivet, where the Closerie des Poiriers was located, it is clear that this was a region deep in economic misery throughout the second half of the eighteenth century. For example, in several birth records, there is the notation, "né sur la lande" (born on the land), indicating that the child's parents were likely to have been casual workers sleeping rough. So great was the misery of the forge workers at Port-Brillet, owned by the prince of Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, Antoine Philippe de La Trémoille, that they took part in the French Revolution, joined the National Guard and became ardent Republican patriots. Workers in La Brûlatte behaved similarly. The Cottereau family came from a line of merchants, notaries, and priests, and, unlike most of his neighbors, Pierre was literate and respectable.His children, however, were violent, quarrelsome, lazy, and resolutely ignorant. Without doubt, their father's prolonged absences, cutting timber in distant forests, carving shoes, selling his sabots over a wide swath of Mayenne, deprived the Cottereau children of an authority figure. Further, since their mother was illiterate, as was common at that time, the Cottereau children were also largely unschooled. Their father died in 1778 when <mask> was twenty-one years old. Pierre the younger, <mask>'s only elder brother, proclaimed himself a sabotier like his father, but he was neither so skillful nor so industrious as his father had been. To survive, all six Cottereaus, four brothers and two sisters, became involved in salt-smuggling. Before 1790, the gabelle was a very unpopular tax on salt.Traditionally, France has been composed of a collection of regions, former duchies, principalities, or independent kingdoms, most of which enjoyed long periods of sovereignty, periods when they were all-but-completely divorced, politically, from the rest of France. Well-known examples of the regions are Normandy, Burgundy, Brittany, and Aquitaine. As an accident of the historical development of an integrated France, these regions had different tax rates for commodities like salt. Whenever there is a disparity in prices or taxes between two neighboring jurisdictions, there will be smuggling. For example, La Croixille is a town in the department of Mayenne, which was (and is) a part of the region of Maine, in the eighteenth century, a high-salt-tax region. Across the River Vilaine, the neighboring town of Princé, was, with respect to salt, in a tax-exempt region, Brittany. The huge disparity between the price of salt in the two towns prompted active smuggling, with salt purchased cheaply in Brittany being moved across the river and sold for a high price in Mayenne.A perpetual guerrilla war between customs officers and salt-smugglers simmered in the valley of the Vilaine. Those who engaged in this tax-avoidance traffic were known as "false-salters". The term, "false-salter", referred to criminal attempts to falsely represent lightly taxed salt as salt that had already been heavily taxed. An unarmed person caught "false-salting" was subject to condemnation to the galleys and deportation; by law, an armed false-salter could be executed. Between 1730 and 1743, 585 salt-smugglers were deported to New France (Quebec). <mask> and his brothers, François and René, were actively involved in this kind of commerce, and, although they knew the territory intimately, including all of the places in the forests of the borderlands where illicit salt might be hidden, they were stopped on several smuggling trips and narrowly avoided arrest. Aside from their smuggling activities, the Cottereaus conducted a number of shady enterprises in the Misedon woods that surrounded their house at the Closerie des Poiriers.Sometime before 1780, <mask>, in the company of his brother, René, and a few others, were in the forest drinking moonshine alcohol, in breach of the laws of Olivet, when they were surprised by two local constables, Pierre Bériteau and <mask>. A brawl ensued. When it was over, a surgeon from Laval declared that one of the two was so badly injured that he could not stand to be transported to hospital. Instead, he was transported to an inn at Saint-Ouën-des-Toits, where he remained for several weeks. The Cottereaus, called before the bar of justice, were ordered to pay for the injured man's medical treatment, and for his room and board during the period of his confinement. This episode was just one of a large number of transgressions engaged in by <mask> and his brothers. The thuggish Cottereaus, over a period of several years managed to injure or cripple almost all their neighbors, usually for nonsensical reasons, and, inevitably, one or more of them was brought to court and forced to pay compensation to their victims in order to avoid imprisonment or deportation.This ruined the family financially. Before the French Revolution
In 1780, when he was twenty-three years old, <mask> was a wanted man. He was being hunted down for having beaten a man named Marchais, who, he suspected, had informed the authorities about his salt-smuggling activities. He was also wanted for a more serious crime: with his friend, <mask>, Chouan was alleged to have killed a customs agent, Olivier Jagu, with repeated blows of a billy-club, in a Saint-Germain-le-Fouilloux inn. Sentenced to death in absentia, his execution took place in effigy, along with that of his accomplice, <mask>t. He had gone into hiding by fleeing the area where he was well-known and enlisting, under a false name, in the 37th Infantry Regiment in Turenne in central France. Other sources indicate that his mother, suspecting that he had been abducted by the crown and summarily imprisoned (or executed), went to Versailles to ask for his pardon from the king.This is doubtful. In fact, the possibility that <mask> was already in custody is contradicted by the fact that the proceedings initiated against him in 1780 were resumed in 1785. From family recollections and papers gathered by Jacques Duchemin Cépeaux, he concluded that <mask> spent his time of absence in a distant garrison of the king's army. <mask> was arrested on 18 May 1785 in Bourgneuf-la-Forêt. Under interrogation, he denied any participation in the murder of the customs agent, but he was sentenced to a year in prison anyway. He was more fortunate than his friend, <mask>t, who had been apprehended, tried, and convicted earlier. <mask> was not confronted by key witnesses; some were dead, others had recanted, and others were excused from testifying.Therefore, the prosecutor, Enjubault-Laroche, was unable to cobble together a strong case, and when it was heard on 9 September 1785, the result was a disappointing sentence, a single year in prison. Freed on 9 September 1786, <mask> was immediately rendered to the Dépôt de Mendicité in Rennes, under a decree postmarked 2 August 1786, and he stayed there three years. Upon his release, he took work as a servant in the household of Marie Le Bourdais, the widow of Alexis Ollivier, a cousin, then living in Chouan's home parish of Olivet. The widow's son was a priest, Alexis Ollivier, so Chouan took on an air of semi-respectability that helped to deflect any new suspicions about his criminal character. Discontent

The French Revolution broke out in 1789, and it soon became apparent that the victorious republicans intended not only to overturn the monarchy but to redefine relations between the State and the Roman Catholic Church as well. Laws were passed by the new National Constituent Assembly (Assemblée constituante) to reform the Church and, little by little, to erode its traditional powers and prerogatives. For example, on 11 August 1789, tithes were abolished.On 2 November 1789, Catholic Church property, chiefly farmland and other real estate, held for the purpose of generating church revenue, was nationalized. On 13 February 1790, monastic vows were forbidden, and all ecclesiastical orders and congregations were dissolved, excepting those devoted to teaching children and nursing the sick. On 19 April 1790, the administration of all remaining church property was transferred to the State. The final stroke was the Civil Constitution of the Clergy (Constitution civile du clergé), passed on 12 July 1790, which entirely subordinated the Roman Catholic Church in France to the French government. Going forward, bishops (known as constitutional bishops) and priests were to be elected locally, and those casting ballots, the 'electors', were required to sign an oath affirming their loyalty to the constitution. There was no requirement that the electors be Catholic, so this created the ironic situation that Protestants and Jews could elect nominally Catholic priests and bishops. Under the Civil Constitution, new bishops were required to swear their loyalty to the State in far stronger terms than they ever had under any prevailing religious doctrine.From the beginning of 1791, landowning priests were forced from their parishes, and they were replaced by elected priests, without property, who had sworn an oath to the Civil Constitution. More importantly, the possessions of the clergy, and other property which had been owned by the Church for centuries, were put up for sale in order to refill the coffers of the royal treasury, which, as had become painfully obvious during the crisis of the Estates-General, were virtually empty. Naturally, reactions to these new laws were strong and varied. A substantial number of French citizens heartily approved, and even the reformist faction within the Church could not find fault with some of the measures, especially those that denied the Church the right to continue to operate like a business, rather than as a spiritual institution. Others were adamantly, even violently, opposed. Predictably, those who abhorred the ecclesiastical reforms were also those who, most doggedly, supported the monarchy. Reactions also varied geographically.An interesting indicator of local sentiment was the percentage of priests who were willing to swear allegiance to the new Constitution. In dioceses near Paris and in the southeast, more than nine of ten priests were willing to take the oath. On the other hand, the percentage of swearing priests was lowest in Brittany, in some small pockets in the northeast, and in Nîmes and Toulouse in the south, all between one-third and one-half. <mask>, given his situation as a displaced employee of the abbé, Alexis Ollivier, could not remain passive.
