People with no roofs over their heads. People with no running water, no electricity, no modern convenience of any kind. Everywhere he looked, he saw people with nothing — nothing but their faith. In that stripped-down, laid-bare world, people found joy in their faith.They smiled. They laughed. They celebrated. 'I was jealous, I wanted to be like that', <mask> said. ;

<mask> (1784–1873) was an American banker and author. He was one of the founding fathers of Provident Institution for Savings in the Town of Boston established in 1816 as the first chartered savings bank in the United States. <mask> was also well known for his research as an antiquary and as author of A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England. He was instrumental in helping his son-in-law, William Barton Rogers, establish MIT and helping his cousin, Frederic Tudor, establish the ice trade in the West Indies, among many other ventures. Early years
<mask> was born on Winter Street, in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 13, 1784, as the ninth child of father Habijah "Thomas<mask>. (April 27, 1741 - November 22, 1806), a merchant, and mother Elizabeth Tudor (March 31, 1745- February 2, 1787). He was a fifth generation of the descendant of one of the first Pilgrims, Major <mask>, who came to Massachusetts from England in 1635. <mask> was just three years old when his mother died giving birth to the family's 12th child, Arthur.<mask> and his siblings, Elizabeth and Arthur, were sent to be raised by <mask>, a blacksmith in Taunton, Massachusetts. <mask> obtained the Franklin medal in 1795, and attended the Washington Academy in Machias, Maine, and the Derby Academy in Hingham, Massachusetts, before going to Harvard University, just as his grandfather did in 1695. After graduating Harvard in 1803, he went on to studied law at the office of Isaac Parker in Portland, Maine. From November 5, 1805 to June 1806, when <mask> and cousin Frederic Tudor were both just 21, they travelled to the West Indies during the Napoleonic Wars for a venture of establishing an ice trading business. In 1806, Tudor bought his first brig Favorite to carry Fresh Pond ice 1,500 miles south, from Boston to Martinique. Favorite left Boston on February 10, 1806, as the following was reported in the Boston Gazette:

No joke. A vessel has cleared at the Custom House for Martinique with a cargo of ice.We hope this will not prove a slippery speculation. Tudor's business plan included sending his brother William and his cousin, <mask>, ahead to obtain a monopoly from the various governments of the islands.

"the soul of integrity," and says" "It is curious that <mask>, the most eloquent of men when his soul was stirred to its depths, should now be particularly honored merely as an acute antiquarian . ... His hatred of iniquity sometimes blazed out in a fury of wrathful eloquence which amazed those who specially esteemed him as a prodigy of genealogical knowledge, and even disturbed the equanimity of those who chiefly knew him as the most valued and trustworthy of friends."In 1841, Harvard honored his dedication with a Degree of Legum Doctor. After a brief meeting between <mask> and William Makepeace Thackeray, the latter remarked to a friend; "I want to see that quaint, charming old Mr. <mask> again." <mask> died in Boston on March 8, 1873.

<mask> (April 23, 1957 – October 9, 2014) was an American actress and comedian, best known for her work on Saturday Night Live, where she was a repertory player from 1986 to 1991, and continued making cameo appearances until 1994. Her subsequent work included a regular role on the final two seasons of Designing Women, a recurring role on 3rd Rock from the Sun, and a number of other film and television roles, including on Tina Fey’s NBC show 30 Rock and The Simpsons. Early life
Hooks was born and raised in Decatur, Georgia, where she attended Canby Lane Elementary School and Towers High School. In 1974, her junior year, she moved to Fort Myers, Florida, when her father, a Sears employee, was transferred. She attended Cypress Lake High School, made her stage debut in a play there, and graduated in 1975. She attended Edison State College where she majored in theatre, but left to pursue acting full-time. Career
Hooks began her career as a member of the Los Angeles-based comedy troupe The Groundlings and in an Atlanta nightclub act called The Wits End Players.From 1980 to 1981, she appeared in Tush on Ted Turner's television station, WTBS, which eventually became TBS. She gained attention in the early 1980s on the HBO comedy series Not Necessarily the News and made guest appearances on Comedy Break with Mack & Jamie in the mid-1980s. She made her film debut in Pee-wee's Big Adventure as a know-it-all tour guide at the Alamo and appeared in the Goldie Hawn film Wildcats. In 1985, <mask> met with producer Lorne Michaels about a spot on Saturday Night Live, but was passed over in favor of Joan Cusack. After the show's 1985–1986 season was deemed a ratings disaster and the show was put on the chopping block for cancellation, Michaels offered Hooks another chance. This time, despite describing her 6-minute audition as "brutal", she was offered a contract along with fellow new recruits Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Victoria Jackson and Kevin Nealon. They helped lead the show to a sustained ratings increase and a return to the national spotlight.Hooks' characters included Candy Sweeney of "The Sweeney Sisters". She played famous political wives of the era including Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, Kitty Dukakis, Betty Ford, and Elizabeth Dole. She performed notable impressions of Bette Davis, Sinéad O'Connor, Tammy Faye Bakker, Ivana Trump, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Diane Sawyer. Tiring of the stress of performing on a live show, Hooks left SNL in 1991 after being asked by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason to replace Jean Smart on the CBS sitcom Designing Women. Hooks played the role of Carlene Dobber for the final two seasons of the show. She also continued to make occasional appearances on SNL through 1994, usually playing Hillary Clinton. Hooks continued working in supporting roles and guest appearances for several years, but with declining frequency.She had a recurring role as Vicki Dubcek on 3rd Rock from the Sun, which earned her an Emmy Award nomination. She guest-starred on two Matt Groening-produced cartoons for the Fox Broadcasting Company: six episodes of The Simpsons between 1997 and 2002, as Apu's wife Manjula (although Tress MacNeille sometimes substituted for her, and eventually replaced her), and in the Futurama episode "Bendless Love", as the voice of a female robot named Angleyne. She starred as Dixie Glick in the series Primetime Glick and the movie Jiminy Glick in Lalawood. She had small parts in several other movies, including Batman Returns as Jen, the Penguin's image consultant during his campaign to become Mayor of Gotham City. She made two appearances on 30 Rock in 2010, playing Jenna Maroney's mother, Verna, which ultimately were the last live-action spots Hooks ever did. She guest starred in a 2013 episode of The Cleveland Show called "Mr. and Mrs. Brown", which was her final acting job. According to a 2014 Grantland article about her career and death, Hooks' combination of anxiety about acting and passive approach to her career led to her missing out on prestigious auditions and lucrative acting roles.Tina Fey commented after her death that she was angry that <mask> didn't have a more successful career (Fey said that <mask> was a bigger star on SNL than Rob Schneider, and should have had at least as big a film career as he did). However, Hooks' friend, film critic Ann Hornaday, said that Hooks didn't have doors slammed in her face and often made no effort to seek out work. Hooks turned down a role in the 2003 television film The Music Man (which went to Molly Shannon instead) and declined to reprise her SNL sketch "The Sweeney Sisters" with Nora Dunn in a special appearance at Carnegie Hall in 2014. <mask>' friend Bill Tush speculated that her drinking had made her indifferent towards her career, but also said she may not have wanted any more money or fame. Another friend said that she had decided only to work enough to maintain her Screen Actors Guild health insurance. Death
Hooks had been advised by her doctor to stop drinking due to liver damage, but did not attempt to quit. She was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2009, which was treated and went into remission that May.In April 2014, she discovered a bump on her throat. She was given a biopsy and treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, but the tumor was unresponsive to chemotherapy and continued to grow. Doctors said the only remaining option was a total laryngectomy, which Hooks declined. She arranged for hospice care and used prescription drugs, wine and cigarettes to manage her pain. She wrote in an email, "...my dependence on wine and cigarettes increases. Oh the irony! The things that soothe you mentally and spiritually destroy you physically.It's so unfair." Her ability to speak, eat and breathe declined. Soon after watching Late Show with David Letterman with her brother Tom at her home in Woodstock, New York, <mask> succumbed to her throat cancer and died on October 9, 2014, at the age of 57. Her remains were interred in Northview Cemetery in Cedartown, Georgia. The Simpsons episode "Super Franchise Me" memorialized her on October 12, 2014, with her longtime character Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon honored in the credits. "Love Is a Dream"
SNL paid tribute to <mask> in the third episode of its 40th season on October 11, 2014. Guest host Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig introduced a tribute in which SNL re-aired a short she had filmed with Phil Hartman in 1988 for SNLs 14th season, titled "Love Is a Dream".This short film was also repeated to honor Hartman following his death in 1998. It is described as "a sweet and melodramatic tribute to the 1948 film The Emperor Waltz", which was directed by Billy Wilder and starred Bing Crosby and Joan Fontaine. The scene casts <mask> as an aging woman who vanishes into her own imagination to sing and share a dance with a long-lost lover (Hartman). Hooks and Hartman appear to lip sync to the original singing voices from the 1948 film. One critic noted that the "<mask> tribute showed that <mask> did not need to be funny in order to captivate the attention of her audience" as <mask> and Hartman were known among peers to be quiet and reserved off-screen.

<mask> (November 16, 1899 – April 7, 1976) was an American radio interview host and writer. Her popular radio shows spanned more than 40 years. In the 1940s the daily audience for her housewife-oriented program numbered from six to eight million listeners. She was called "The First Lady of Radio." Early life
<mask> was born on November 16, 1899, in Paris, Missouri, to a farming family. Their frequent relocations disorganized her early schooling, but at the age of six she became a student at a preparatory school called William Woods College, and at 16 the University of Missouri, receiving a degree in journalism there in 1919. She was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Missouri.She worked a year as a reporter at the Cleveland Press, and then until 1924 at the New York Evening Mail. Following this, she wrote freelance for periodicals including The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and starting in 1926 collaborated in writing travel-oriented books. Radio and sidelines

As Martha Deane
<mask> first worked steadily in radio for WOR in New York City, starting in 1934. This daily women's-advice show, with her persona as "Martha Deane", a kind and witty grandmother figure with a Missouri-drawl, aired daily until 1940. Originally, <mask>'s character "Martha Deane" was to be a grandmother with six children and many grandchildren-all imaginary. They were all named and described; she was to memorize the details. Her job was to talk colloquially and dispense philosophy.She kept getting all her "grandchildren's" names mixed up and within three weeks she jettisoned the whole tribe on air. She remained Martha Deane, but was no longer a grandmother. Concurrently with working as "Deane", in 1934 and 1935, she was the women's page editor for the Newspaper Enterprise Association syndicate. As herself
In 1937, she launched on the CBS radio network the first of a series of similar and successful shows, now as <mask> <mask>. She had to abandon the Deane persona because WOR owned the name. She interviewed figures well known in the world of arts and entertainment, and politics, with a style recognized as original to herself. She accepted advertising only for products she was prepared to endorse from her own experience, and turned down all tobacco or alcohol products.She followed this format in regular broadcasts on
 CBS until 1941
 NBC (where her audience numbered in the millions) from then until 1950
 ABC from then until 1954
 NBC again until 1960, and
 The New York Herald Tribune'''s radio broadcasts with a wider audience via syndication. Her NBC show in the 1940s had broad range of guests, from politicians to generals to movie stars; she never announced her guests in advance, so the audience tuned in with no idea what they would get. Beginning during World War II, she began "breaking the color line", mixing in African American guests. <mask> was a popular media figure; the tea rose,  '<mask> <mask>' was named for her. In September 1948, NBC brought <mask> to television for a 30-minute prime time show on Tuesdays at 9pm EST. However, NBC abandoned the show in its partial third month, with Variety describing the attempt sarcastically, and The New York Times calling her the first major "fatality" of this kind. Below is a review of one of her first television performances, reviewed by The New York Times:
Perhaps the ladies in the daytime can survive <mask>'s effusive and interminable commercials, but for the men at home in the evening they are hard to take after a day at the office.To watch <mask> shift-without pause or loss of breath-from a eulogy of Kemtone paint to an analysis of Russia is an ordeal not quickly forgotten. If nighttime television is to be daytime radio, away video, away! From 1953 to 1956 she also conducted a syndicated newspaper column for the Associated Press. About 20 years apart, she wrote two books for girls, each with "Elizabeth" in the title. As time went on, she appeared in smaller radio media markets, in upstate New York, and toward the end of her life hosted "Your Hudson Valley Neighbor" three times a week on WGHQ Kingston, NY from the living room of her home. Her longtime companion and business partner, Stella Karn, died in 1957. She died at the age of 76 on April 7, 1976, at her home in West Shokan, New York.<mask>'s ashes were placed in her former rose garden. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in radio. Cultural impact
An account of her career, It's One O'clock and Here is <mask> <mask>: A Radio Biography by Susan Ware was published in early 2005. She is also discussed in depth in Radio Voices by Michele Hilmes. The character of "<mask>", featured in the comedy routines of Bob and Ray, is a parody of <mask> <mask>. The TV host "<mask> McSnide" in Fantastic Four issue 16 is an obvious reference. Her name was spoofed on the classic CBS-TV sitcom I Love Lucy in Episode # 79, "The Million Dollar Idea", which aired on January 11, 1954.In that installment, Lucy (Lucille Ball) comes up with an ambitious idea to make money. She decides to appear on television selling her Aunt Martha's salad dressing. Assisting her on the program is her best friend Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance) as "<mask> McMertz." <mask>'s celebrity was hardly a secret confined to daytime radio listeners, either: her 15th anniversary celebration in 1949 was held in Yankee stadium, the only facility large enough to hold the 75,000 people who filled every seat and formed huge crowds outside. Her magazine show was on the air continuously for 25 years. <mask> pioneered a style of ad-libbing her radio shows, meaning that the content in her show was not rehearsed prior to going on the air. She was acknowledged by Current Biography as "the first woman to bring newspaper technique to radio interviewing and to make daytime broadcasts profitable."The method of sustaining her show was also distinct. <mask> and manager Stella Karn would produce their show and then market it directly to sponsors in the New York area or broader national arena. This format allowed <mask> and Karn to have complete agency over the content and format of the show. The two were consistently able to maintain a level of support from sponsors, meaning that they were able to produce content that was exactly how they envisioned it, free of outside changes. This model was also one of <mask>'s notable contributions to broadcasting, as it paved the way for independent producing. Personal relationship
<mask> <mask> and Stella Karn met in the early 1920s in an instance of complete happenstance. As <mask> describes it as, “One day a bouncy woman, with eager brown eyes and auburn hair rolled into a bun, burst into our office and announced that she would be handling publicity for us.” <mask> and Karn worked together for years, with Karn managing <mask> and her show.<mask> described the two of them in a Reader's Digest edition in 1962 as, "No two people were more unlike. My reaction to a crisis was to dissolve into tears; Stella's was to charge into battle." The two moved in together in a small apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. <mask> and Karn relied on each other for the entirety of their professional and personal lives. <mask> describes their first endeavor as a complete gamble motivated solely by Karn's optimism. During the Great Depression, the opportunity came for <mask> to audition for a radio show, one of the only sources of entertainment at the time. When <mask> got the job, she immediately recommended Karn as the person to handle the business side of the show's affairs.Karn and <mask> became business partners, and Karn's first act on the job was to give her partner a raise. <mask> and Karn made a name for themselves as pioneers in the field of broadcasting, and also as trailblazers for the future of lesbian and bisexual journalists. <mask> and Karn established their show as a connection point for lesbian and bisexual female creatives, forging friendships with influential names in broadcasting such as Ann Batchelder and Lisa Sergio.

His work has been described as being "between the two poles of formalism and historicity." Often taking the form of a series, his works span a wide range of media, including films, installations, objects, and glass paintings. Education
<mask> was born in Vienna in 1971, where he lives and works. He studied at the Höhere Graphische Bundes-Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Vienna (1991) and the Hochschule für angewandte Kunst Wien (Diploma, 1997). His international career began at the age of twenty two, when he participated in Backstage: Topologie Zeitgenössischer Kunst at the .Work
<mask> <mask>’s work constitutes a "constellation of historical references encoded within a visual language that appears purely formal." The apparent abstraction of his works stem from specific archival sources, establishing contact with realms traditionally consigned to the margins of modern art.The sources include 17th-century kimono designs, avant-garde typography, WWI military uniform patterns, cartography, Latin American textiles, and early dance notations. Through the selection, reduction, rearrangement, and reproduction of his source materials—unsystematic and subjective modes of transcription—<mask> reveals that the modernist fantasy of self-referentiality was always haunted by irreducible specificity and cultural instability. Calling Pümhosl's works "second-order abstraction," André Rottmann has noted that this aesthetic strategy "creates an inversion of not only geometrical but also gestural abstraction's claim to create instantaneously intelligible signs, in which immediacy and universality converge." In another instance, Eric C.H. de Bruyn has observed that the "perceptual ambivalence" in <mask>'s work "merges an aesthetic and conceptual critique of the pictorial language of modernism in one gesture." In 2000, he was awarded the Monsignore Otto Mauer-Preis, followed by the CENTRAL-Kunstpreis in Cologne in 2003.Major works and series

In 2005, Pumhösl held a solo show, Animated Map, at Neue Kunsthalle St. Gallen, Switzerland. Consisting of a film, a book, Pumhösl's Eetkamer glass paintings, and a correspondent exhibition, the project examined Pre-Columbian cotton lace from Chacay civilization, central coast of Peru (900-1532); a Picture clock (c. 1830); F. Percy Smith's film Fight for the Dardanelles (1915); László Moholy-Nagy's Schwarz-rotes Gleichgewicht (1922); the Bauhaus traveling exhibition installed by Hannes Meyer (1929); Georges Vantongerloo's Untitled (3 Concrete Studies) (c. 1931); and the former St. Gallen Public Warehouse erected in the beginning of the 20th century by Robert Maillart, and where the Neue Kunsthalle is now housed. The book, Animated Map, was published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walter König in 2007, with texts by Peiro Aguirre, Burkhard Meltzer and Florian Pumhösl. In 2007, Pumhösl presented the installation and picture cycle Modernology (2007), which was exhibited at documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany. For the project, Pumhösl identified and expressed in a formal vocabulary a reciprocal exchange between the German, Russian, and Japanese avant-gardes in the interwar period. Addressed in the work were artist-designer Murayama Tomoyoshi's Triangular Studio (1926) and the black walls of the "Der Sturm" exhibition in Tokyo in 1914, among others. Philosopher Juliane Rebentisch described the work as the following: "What may be experienced in this way is less the act of translation between the cultures than culture itself as translation...It opposes both the conservative notion of self-contained cultures as well as the neoliberal goal, currently becoming reality, of a single world culture."Pumhösl staged an exhibition, 678, at Mumok in Vienna, Austria, in 2011. In this show, Pumhösl presented two film installations, Expressive Rhythm and Tract, and a comprehensive cycle of images, Diminution. Expressive Rhythm refers to Alexander Rodchenko's gouache Expressive Rhythm (1942), which anticipates Jackson Pollock's style of painting and serves as a testimony to the nexus between gestural abstraction, automation, and trauma. Tract is a film hybrid between abstract animation and a dance film. Diminution, a 48-image cycle whose name refers to the repetition and diminution of a motive in musical compositional theory, addresses 'a society' of images as understood spatially, or as a kind of post-individualist score. Parallel to the exhibition, Pumhösl also co-organized the re-installation of classical modern art on Level 8 of the museum with the title "Abstract Space" with curator Matthias Michalka. Michalka wrote that the exhibition "explor[ed] the relationship between the showing and the shown, between the title and the exhibition, inevitably result[ing] in a fundamental questioning of the conceptions of the work and the models of authorship..."

The following year, Pumhösl presented a new series at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Räumliche Sequenz (Spatial Sequence), specially produced for the exhibition.The works consist of plaster panels in three different sizes grouped in threes, and the order of each trio beginning with the smallest and ending with the largest format. The progression of the 45-piece series of 15 subjects, subtitled Cliché, stems from Moholy-Nagy's enamel pictures. However, unlike Moholy-Nagy, who delegated the task of his telephone pictures to a firm, Pumhösl applied the formal effects to his panel himself through a cliché stamp. In an interview with Yilmaz Dziewior, remarking on the "varying relations" to which the pictures were hung, Pumhösl remarked that the series was "not site but space related." In 2014, Pumhösl held his first solo exhibition at Miguel Abreu Gallery, in which he showed six paintings depicting formally reduced letters from the Georgian Mkhreduli alphabet and twelve paintings based on a 19th-century rabbinical map ("Eretz Israel," from Boundaries of the Land by Rabbi Joshua Feiwel ben Israel, Grodno, 1813). In transferring the map and interpreting Georgian letterforms, Pumhösl empties these systems of their use value and opens them up to other associations. In the second issue of Makhuzine, an outgrowth of the Dutch Artistic Research Event (DARE) symposium, Pumhösl describes his work as the following:In the last ten years, many arguments in the debate on Modernism have been dominated by arguments of critique, critical distance, and critical discourse.That widely criticized debate has become a messy discourse. My work connects to the prevalent discourse about artistic research, as it involves research, but for me research is only a tool leading to experience. Experience might sound like a conservative term, but I lack a better one. To me experience implies a process of reception and identification, of separating and displacing elements from genealogies." Solo exhibitions
Solo exhibitions of <mask>'s work have been staged at Kunsthaus Bregenz (2012); Mumok (Vienna, 2011); Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf, 2010); Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Luxembourg, 2009), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam, 2008); Neue Kunsthalle St. Gallen (2005); Centre d’édition contemporaine (Geneva, 2004); Kölnischer Kunstverein (Cologne, 2003); Secession (Vienna, 2000); and Salzburger Kunstverein (1998), among others. His work was featured in Documenta 12 (Kassel, 2007), São Paulo Biennial (2006) and the 50th Venice Biennale (2003). In 2015, his work was included in Parasophia: Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture in Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art (2015).In 2012, he exhibited his work in Parcours, a two-person show at The Art Institute of Chicago with Liz Deschenes. Recently, <mask>’s work has appeared in group exhibitions at the V-A-C Foundation (Venice), Punta della Dogana (Venice), The Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Haus Der Kunst (Munich), City Gallery Prague, Museum Abteiberg (Mönchengladbach), Generali Foundation (Vienna), MACBA (Barcelona), Raven Row (London), Künstlerhaus Vienna, Museum of Modern Art (Warsaw).

<mask> (December 19, 1930 – September 7, 2019) was an American anthropologist, Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan's Department of Anthropology and Curator Emeritus at the University's Museum of Anthropological Archaeology. He considered the attempt "to introduce a Darwinian outlook into biological anthropology" to be his greatest contribution to the field of anthropology. Early life and education
<mask> was born <mask> in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1930, a son of writer, sailor, boat builder and teacher, <mask> and Hulda Potter Laird. His ancestors were New England schoolteachers and clergymen including John P<mask>, Sarah Pierce, and the Rev. Blackleach Burritt. <mask>'s paternal great-grandfather, <mask>, founder of the Children's Aid Society, had worked to introduce evolutionary theory into the United States and knew <mask>. C<mask> developed an early interest in biology and human evolution as a child in part by reading <mask>'s popular book Meet your Ancestors, A Biography of Primitive Man (1945).He went to Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts from 1948-52, where he constructed his own major from geology, paleontology, and biology courses. <mask> was drafted by the U.S. Army during the Korean War and while in the service, worked with the fitting of gas masks so that they would be able to fit a variety of different people. He received a masters (1958) and doctorate (1962) from Harvard University and studied physical anthropology with Ernest Hooton and later with William W. Howells, who introduced <mask> to the new evolutionary synthesis of Darwinian evolution and population genetics. During this time he was also able to travel to Europe, where he spent 1959-1960 at Oxford University, in the animal behavior laboratory of Nikolaas Tinbergen, and traveled to Zagreb, Yugoslavia, where he inspected the collection of Neanderthal fossils collected by Dragutin Gorjanovic-Kramberger at Krapina. After completing his doctorate, he taught briefly at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and then at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He spent much of his career as Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan and as Curator of Biological Anthropology at the university's Museum of Anthropology. Career

Neanderthal studies

In 1962, <mask> published a paper in American Anthropologist titled "Refocusing on the Neanderthal Problem" where he argued, in opposition to French anthropologist Henri Vallois, that the archeological and fossil evidence did not necessarily support the idea that the Neanderthals were replaced by Cro-Magnon populations migrating into Europe, rather than being ancestral to early Homo sapiens.<mask> continued his reappraisal of the Neanderthal problem in 1964 in "The Fate of the 'Classic' Neanderthals: a consideration of hominid catastrophism" published in Current Anthropology. Here <mask> traced the history of research on the Neanderthals in order to show how interpretations established early in the century by Marcellin Boule and notions such as Arthur Keith's pre-sapiens theory had convinced many anthropologists that the Neanderthals played little or no role in the evolution of modern humans. <mask> argued that cultural factors, especially the increased use of tools by Neanderthals, produced morphological changes that led the classic Neanderthals to evolve into modern humans. <mask> remained a vigorous proponent of the idea that Neanderthals are ancestral to modern humans. He also argued that the fossil record suggests a simple evolutionary scheme whereby humans have evolved through four stages (Australopithecine, Pithecanthropine, Neanderthal, and Modern humans), and that these stages are somewhat arbitrary and reflect our limited knowledge of the fossil record. <mask> emphasized the need to integrate the ideas of Darwinian evolution into palaeoanthropology. Much earlier research into human origins relied on non-Darwinian models of evolution; <mask> presented his advocacy of the Darwinian approach in The Stages Of Human Evolution, first published in 1967.<mask>'s ideas generated considerable controversy, as much for his brash criticism of his colleagues as for their content, but they have also influenced a generation of anthropological research into human evolution and the interpretation of the Neanderthals. Other studies
In the publication "Clines and clusters versus Race: a test in ancient Egypt and the case of a death on the Nile", <mask> discussed the controversy concerning the race of the Ancient Egyptians. <mask> argued that the "Egyptians have been in place since back in the Pleistocene and have been largely unaffected by either invasions or migrations". In a 2006 publication "The questionable contribution of the Neolithic and the Bronze Age to European craniofacial form", <mask> argued that Natufian peoples, who are thought to be the source of the European Neolithic, had Sub-Saharan African admixture, but that "the interbreeding of the incoming Neolithic people with the in situ foragers diluted the Sub-Saharan traces that may have come with the Neolithic spread so that no discoverable element of that remained."

<mask> (born July 18, 1954 in Yokohama, Japan) is an American writer and illustrator of numerous books for children. She is the illustrator of all the If You Give... series written by Laura Numeroff and published by HarperCollins Children's Books. Early life

<mask> was born to American parents in Yokohama, Japan, where she lived for two years. She grew up in Bronxville, New York and Houston, Texas with her four brothers and two sisters. It was while living in New York that she observed a beam of light coming in her bedroom window at age five and knew that art was her calling. She cites numerous inspirations as a child, among them the covers of The New Yorker, the drawings in her Girl Scout Handbook, the sketches her mother drew for her and her siblings, and the art in children's books. She was especially drawn to the painterly, expressive style of Ludwig Bemelmans in his Madeline books, and the sensitive ink drawings by Garth Williams in Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little.For many years she closely examined the work of Charles Schulz, renowned for his Peanuts comic strip, and credits him as making a lasting impression on her. Education
<mask> took a B.F.A. in painting from The University of Texas, Austin, with continuing studies at The School of Visual Arts, New York City. Career

At age twenty-two <mask> moved to New York City with nine hundred dollars and worked several jobs, including illustrating botanical books, working as a freelance scene painter in a children's museum, and as an art director for Margaret K. McElderry Books. During this time she took classes at The School of Visual Arts and put together a portfolio of work intended for children's books. She was offered five contracts in short order and left behind her original idea of pursuing her painting. By the time she was twenty-six the first book she both wrote and illustrated, Poinsettia and Her Family, had been published.Four more books of her own quickly followed before she illustrated If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in 1985. <mask> has also illustrated, among other works, Big Red Barn, written by Margaret Wise Brown, The Big Green Pocketbook, written by Candice Ransom, Little Porcupine's Christmas, written by Joseph Slate and The Right Number of Elephants, written by Jeff Sheppard. She is both author and illustrator of numerous other works, including Poinsettia and her Family, Poinsettia and the Firefighters, The Day It Rained Hearts, The Halloween Play, Tumble Bumble, and Big Hugs, Little Hugs. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the first collaborative work written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by <mask> <mask>, quickly became established as a popular favorite and is today considered a contemporary classic. A series of seventeen titles followed, with sales exceeding fifty million. They have been translated into more than thirteen languages. The If You Give... series has garnered numerous awards, and their popularity is witnessed by their consistent presence on The New York Times Best Seller List.Many of the books were the #1 best-sellers in the picture book category. The If You Give... books have become so embedded in our culture that If You Give a Mouse a Cookie was mentioned in the movie Airforce One, on the television show The L Word and in Mad Magazine. Charles Schulz created two Peanuts strips  about If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and Oprah Winfrey chose If You Give a Pig a Pancake as one of her favorite things in 2000. She also included it on her list Oprah’s Favorite Things from A-Z in that same year as well. If You Give a Moose a Muffin was the answer to a question on Jeopardy!. The books have been adapted into plays for children's theaters across the country, The Bronx Zoo in New York featured the art in their Children's Zoo  for one year and the artwork has been used to create murals in the wings of children's hospitals. The series has fans of all ages from all over the world including Japan, where an entire Tokyo city bus was painted with images of Mouse.Mouse also made it to the White House; in Laura Bush's Celebration of American Authors at the 2001 Presidential Inauguration <mask> <mask> and Laura Numeroff were among those honored for their If You Give... series, and the former First Lady writes that the Bush family cat India's favorite book was If You Take a Mouse to the Movies. A bronze sculpture of her sleeping on the book is included in the George W. Bush Presidential Library. First Lady Michele Obama read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie on The White house lawn during the 2009 Easter Egg Roll. The website mousecookiebooks.com, posted by its publisher, HarperCollins, is an interactive site for children, parents, teachers, and librarians alike. Style, content and process

In her illustrations <mask>'s signature style is characterized by rich, vibrant watercolor, often with a black line used for graphic effect. Her use of white space is often similarly applied, especially in her distinctive design of the books in the If You Give...™ series. Her book Big Hugs, Little Hugs  uses mixed media collage, which reflects her painting style from her early twenties.She personalizes many of her illustrations by discreetly writing the names of family, friends, and pets in the art. She has said she started doing this years ago, inspired by the cross-hatched ink artwork in The New York Times by Al Hirschfeld, who hid his daughter's name, Nina, at least once in almost every drawing. <mask>'s writing style varies in content but is often narrative and character based. Poinsettia and Her Family and Poinsettia and the Firefighters came about from her own childhood. Other stories began as an aimless doodle, such as the whimsical The Day It Rained Hearts and the playful Tumble Bumble. Her book Big Hugs, Little Hugs is more conceptual in nature and evolved from a dream that she merged with a comforting story her father told her when she was a child and couldn't fall asleep. In interviews she has said her ideas come from an "impulsive and intuitive place", that she "lives a story" instead of tells it.She works to keep the "mysterious third thing" alive in a book while she hones the narrative arc and pacing of the words and design. She often compares the making of a book to cooking, a musical score, or a dance. Books

<mask> (born April 20, 1985) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman under contract for the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League (NHL). He played fifteen seasons for the Chicago Blackhawks, who selected him in the first round, 14th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft out of the Western Hockey League (WHL). He played four seasons of junior with the Lethbridge Hurricanes before joining the Blackhawks in 2005–06, becoming a key component in their success including three Stanley Cup championships. Internationally, he competed for Team Canada and won gold medals at the 2003 IIHF World U18 Championships, 2005 World Junior Championships and 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Playing career

Junior
Growing up in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, <mask> played minor hockey with the South Delta Minor Hockey Association. He also played spring hockey with the Pacific Vipers, along with three future Chicago Blackhawks teammates, Colin Fraser, Troy Brouwer and Andrew Ladd. He went on to play major junior in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, who drafted by him in the first round of the 2000 WHL Bantam Draft.<mask> played with future Chicago Blackhawks teammate Kris Versteeg for three seasons in Lethbridge. After a 42-point season in 2002–03 with the Hurricanes, <mask> was drafted 14th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Professional

Chicago Blackhawks
<mask> made his professional debut after completing his fourth and final WHL season, being assigned to the Norfolk Admirals, the Blackhawks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, for the final three games of the regular season and six post-season games. <mask> cracked the Blackhawks' line-up his first year out of junior in 2005–06 and recorded five goals and 32 points as a rookie. In his third NHL season, in 2007–08, <mask> matched his rookie total with 32 points while tallying a personal-best nine goals. He began the season on the top-defensive pairing with Duncan Keith. The following season, <mask> became an integral part of a young and rejuvenated Blackhawks team that made the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in seven years the following season in 2009.He scored 11 points in 17 post-season games as the Blackhawks made it to the Western Conference Finals, where they were defeated by the Detroit Red Wings. On March 17, 2010, <mask> was knocked out by a high hit from James Wisniewski, a former teammate. <mask> missed the next two games, while Wisniewski was ultimately suspended for eight games. On June 9, 2010, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup after defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 4–3 in overtime. On February 27, 2011, the Blackhawks signed <mask> to a five-year, $29 million contract extension. On May 29, 2013, <mask> scored the Game 7 overtime winner against the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Semi-finals, advancing Chicago to the Western Conference Final. During the Finals, on June 19, <mask> scored the overtime winner against the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the series.<mask> won his second Stanley Cup as the Blackhawks beat the Bruins in six games. During the first round of the 2014 playoffs, <mask> delivered a high-hit to David Backes of the St. Louis Blues. Backes was forced to leave the game and <mask> was assessed a match penalty. The Department of Player Safety reviewed the hit and suspended <mask> for three games. On September 17, 2015, the Blackhawks named <mask> as an alternate captain. On September 26, 2015, the Blackhawks signed <mask> to an eight-year, $55 million contract extension. <mask> played in his 1,000th NHL game on March 29, 2018, in a game against the Winnipeg Jets.On December 11, 2018, <mask> and teammate Duncan Keith became the first pair of defencemen, and the seventh duo in NHL history to play 1,000 games together. Injuries and retirement
On December 26, 2019, the Blackhawks placed <mask> on long-term injured reserve after announcing he would require three separate surgical operations to repair his right shoulder and both hips. <mask> missed the remainder of the 2019–20 season. He returned to practice with the team in July to prepare for the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, which had been postponed to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. <mask> opted out of the playoffs on July 24 to focus on fully recovering from his surgery. <mask> intended to rejoin the Blackhawks prior to the 2020–21 season, but injured his back days before team's pre-season training camp. He was placed on injured reserve to start the season.On March 5, 2021, <mask> announced he could no longer continue his playing career in the NHL due to injury. <mask> intends on formally retiring after his current contract expires after the 2023–24 NHL season. On July 27, 2021, the Blackhawks traded <mask>'s contract to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Tyler Johnson and a second-round draft pick in 2023. <mask> played in 1,114 regular season games over 15 seasons in the NHL, where he recorded 103 goals and 361 assists. Stan Bowman, the Blackhawks President of Hockey Operations, reflected on <mask>'s contributions stating, "Without <mask>, the Chicago Blackhawks would not have three Stanley Cups. He concludes his career as not only one of the best defensemen in franchise history, but one the greatest Chicago Blackhawks of all time." International play

During his junior career, <mask> represented Team Canada in two World Junior Championships.In 2004 in Finland, he recorded three points to help Canada to the gold medal game against the United States, where they were defeated 4–3. Returning the following year in 2005 in the United States, he matched his three-point total from the previous tournament and helped defeat Russia 6–1 in the final to capture Canada's first gold medal that began a five-year run. After his rookie season with the Blackhawks, <mask> made his senior international debut with Team Canada at the 2006 World Championships in Latvia, where Canada failed to medal. On December 30, 2009, <mask> was called and asked to play for Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, along with Blackhawks teammates Duncan Keith and Jonathan Toews. He was expected to continue his NHL pairing with Keith during the tournament, but he instead became designated as Canada's seventh defenceman. He notched one assist over seven games as Canada won the gold medal over the United States 3–2 in overtime on February 28, 2010. Personal life
