 at Netflix that doubled as a market research platform. He further developed his theories about using direct mail to influence and retain customers doing circulation work while helping found the U.S. version of MacUser magazine in 1984.While co-founding computer mail-order firms MacWarehouse and MicroWarehouse with Peter Godfrey and his partners about a year later, <mask> made the connection between overnight delivery and improved customer retention. The discovery later proved crucial to Netflix’s growth and survival: the company’s subscriber base first blossomed and cut into Blockbuster Inc revenues in cities where Netflix offered overnight DVD delivery. <mask> spent the dawn of the Internet age building direct-to-consumer marketing operations at software giant Borland International starting in 1988. He left Borland in 1995 for a series of short stints at Silicon Valley start-ups, including heading marketing at desktop scanner maker Visioneer, and then as a member of the founding team of Integrity QA, a developer of automated software testing products. In late 1996, software debugging company Pure Atria acquired the nine-person software startup. Pure Atria’s founder and CEO Reed Hastings retained <mask> as vice president of corporate marketing for the rapidly expanding Pure Atria. In late 1996, Pure Atria announced that Rational Software would acquire it in an $850 million stock swap in what was then the richest merger in Silicon Valley history.Hastings and <mask> commuted together between their homes in Santa Cruz, California into Silicon Valley for about four months while the Rational merger was finalized, and on these drives, the idea for Netflix was born.

 heard that digital-versatile-discs (DVD) were being tested in several U.S. markets, and he wanted to explore the concept of selling the compact new digital format online. He and Hastings could not find a DVD, so they tested the idea with a compact disc. “Reed and I were in downtown Santa Cruz and we were saying, ‘I wonder if we can mail these things’,” <mask> said. “We went in and bought a music CD and went into one of the stationery stores … and bought a greeting card and stuck the CD in the envelope and mailed it to Reed’s house. And the next day, he said, ‘It came.It’s fine.’ If there was an aha moment, that was it.”
Hastings, <mask>’s mother, and Integrity QA founder Steve Kahn were initial investors in Netflix. <mask> named the company, designed its initial user interface and branding and acted as chief executive for the first year while Hastings attended Stanford University graduate school. Netflix launched on April 14, 1998 out of an office park in Scotts Valley, California. <mask> designed the user interface to act as an online catalog of movies and a market research platform so that he could constantly test different versions to perfect the user experience. The data generated by these market tests led the team to three concepts that they combined in 1999 to create Netflix’s successful business model: a subscription-based service with no due dates or late fees and unlimited access to content, a “Queue” that allowed subscribers to specify the order in which DVDs should be mailed to them, and a serialized delivery system that automatically mailed out a DVD as soon as the previous rental was returned. The subscriber data collected by the user interface fed a recommendation engine known as Cinematch, that helped manage the company’s limited DVD inventory by guiding

 subscribers to movies and TV shows that were in stock and generally away from new releases. <mask> ceded the CEO post to Hastings in 1999 and turned to product development.He and founding team member Mitch Lowe tested a concept for a movie rental kiosk called Netflix Express that Lowe later turned into movie kiosk giant Redbox after Hastings rejected it as a line of business. <mask> left Netflix in 2002 after helping guide the company through its initial public offering two years earlier. He credited Hastings with successfully scaling the company to 93 million subscribers worldwide, and said he preferred the start-up stage. "At the beginning, it's very much triage. If there are a hundred things broken and you need the skill to pick the three you've got to fix, I'm really good at that. I'm not good at the other ninety-seven," <mask> said. After Netflix

As president, Sir <mask>'s office was at the bank's headquarters at 119 St. James Street in Montreal, Quebec.

texts: Maxwell had also previously designed their summer house at Mont Saint-Bruno, Quebec. Lady Meredith House was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990. Following the First World War, when wounded Canadian soldiers started to return from the Front in 1918, Lady <mask> set up a rehabilitation centre for officers at her and <mask>'s Montreal home. During their 1939 Royal Tour of Canada, Lady <mask> was the hostess to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother during their stay in Montreal, Quebec.In 1942, Lady <mask> donated the house to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal as a residence for the nurses. <mask> donated the Lady Meredith Cup for the Quebec Ladies' Hockey Association in 1920, the first ice hockey trophy in Canada to be competed for between women in ankle-length skirts. On the 100th anniversary of the Montreal Thistle Curling Club in 1943, the Montreal Gazette of the day reported that on Christmas Eve, 1870, she was "probably the first lady in Canada to put up an iron". She served as president of the Purple Cross (a service for the care of wounded and disabled horses on the battlefield during World War I); president of the Canadian Women's Army Auxiliary Corps; Governor of the Royal Victoria's Maternity Hospital; director of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; vice president of the Women's National Immigration Society, and honorary patroness of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire with Lady Eugène Fiset and Lady H.

 Rivers-Bulkeley (1914–2007), son of Colonel Charles Rivers-Bulkeley and Annie Evelyn Pelly. Lady <mask> was the godmother of Frederick Edmund <mask>'s only grandson, and the only son of her first cousin, Sir Montagu Allan.Philanthropy
Sir <mask> was a generous philanthropist. A founding member of the Canadian Mental Health Association he served on its board of directors and was one of its chief benefactors. In 1909 he gave the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal (where he solely sponsored an annual ball for the nurses) an automobile, Canada's first motor ambulance, but as with all his gifts and donations, refused to allow anything of it to be mentioned in the papers. It was also his idea to bring the famous neuro-surgeon Wilder Penfield to the Royal Victoria Hospital. At the Bank of Montreal he introduced the 'Sir Vincent Meredith Fund', which was set up for the female employees of the bank to relieve them in a financial crisis, which is still in operation today. In his will he left just under six hundred thousand dollars to be shared between the Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University and Bishop's University, Lennoxville. It was said that Sir <mask> took every opportunity to relieve suffering in Montreal and advance that city.As well as giving financial backing and donations from his own art collection to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, he also donated a set of four Louis Comfort Tiffany windows to the museum's new building. In sports, he donated the 'Sir Vincent Meredith Trophy' awarded to the best all-round athlete of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, as well as giving the Meredith Cup for the Waltzing Competition held at the Winter Club, and the Meredith Trophy awarded at the Dominion Drama Festival.

His youngest brother, Llewellyn <mask> (1860–1933) J.P., was a highly respected judge at the Olympia, London Horse Show in England, and also bred his own horses at his farm outside London, Ontario. Sir <mask> was also a keen fisherman. Both he and <mask> had a great interest in music and art and were one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Grand Opera in Montreal, Quebec.He belonged to many clubs in Montreal and England, and he was amongst the founding members of the Mount Royal Club in Montreal, the Ritz-Carlton Montreal Hotel and the Montreal Winter Club. The Montreal Gazette said of him :

Sir <mask> died in 1929 without children, and thus his short-lived baronetcy became extinct. His wife continued to live in their Montreal home until 1941, when she gave it to the Royal Victoria Hospital to use as a nurses residence. McGill University acquired the use of the property in 1975, and today it is known as Lady Meredith House, home to the McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics, and Law. <mask> and his wife are buried in a plot reserved for the <mask> family at Mount Royal Cemetery. Buried there also is one of his younger brothers, <mask>, with his wife, a daughter of Richard B. Angus, and his cousin, a close friend of both of the brothers, Frederick Edmund <mask>. This generation of his family in Canada, and Ireland, was a remarkably distinguished group.See also

<mask>guang () (496–532) was a general of the Xianbei-led Chinese Northern Wei dynasty. He became a major general during the reign of Emperor Xiaozhuang, when his father's cousin <mask> was the paramount general of the state. He was renowned for pacifying the Guanzhong region, which had been seized by agrarian rebel generals Moqi Chounu (万俟醜奴) and Wang Qingyun (王慶雲) in 530. He thereafter tried to maintain a relatively distant profile from the other Erzhu clan members, particularly after Emperor Xiaozhuang killed <mask> later in 530 and then was overthrown and killed by <mask>'s nephew <mask> and cousin <mask>. In 532, after the other Erzhus had suffered defeats at the hand of the rebelling general Gao Huan, <mask>ng tried to come to their aid, but was also defeated by another general who rebelled, Husi Chun, and Gao executed him. Under <mask>'s command
<mask>ng's father was a cousin of <mask>, who was a Northern Wei general and the chief of the ethnic Xiongnu Qihu (契胡) tribe. In <mask>ng's youth, he was described to be resolute and capable in archery and horseriding.<mask> Rong considered him a close confidant, and often discussed military matters with him. In 528, after Emperor Xiaoming was poisoned by his mother Empress Dowager Hu, it was after consulting with <mask> Tianguang that <mask> Rong set out to attack the capital Luoyang to overthrow Empress Dowager Hu. As he did, he entrusted one of his home provinces, Si Province (肆州, roughly modern Xinzhou, Shanxi) to Erzhu Tianguang, and after <mask> Rong killed Empress Dowager Hu and made Emperor Xiaozhuang emperor, <mask> Tianguang was created the Duke of Chang'an. In 528, when <mask> Rong set out to destroy the rebel Emperor of Qi,

texts: Ge Rong (葛榮), he entrusted his entire home base, including Bing Province (并州, roughly modern Taiyuan, Shanxi) to <mask> Tianguang as well, remarking, "Only you can make me feel secure about places where I am not at." In 529, <mask> Tianguang was one of the generals under the command of <mask> Rong's close associate Yuan Tianmu (元天穆) when Yuan Tianmu attacked and defeated the rebel general Xing Gao (邢杲). At the same time, however, Yuan Hao the Prince of Beihai, who also claimed the throne, was attacking Luoyang with the support of rival Liang Dynasty, and Yuan Tianmu was unable to stop Yuan Hao. Emperor Xiaozhuang fled Luoyang, and Yuan Tianmu and <mask> Tianguang also fled north with their troops, joining with <mask> Rong.<mask> Rong sent <mask> Tianguang back to Bing and Si Provinces to secure them, before he himself advanced south and defeated Yuan Hao. After Yuan Hao's defeat, Emperor Xiaozhuang created <mask> Tianguang the greater title of Duke of Guangzong. In 530, with Moqi Chounu, who had claimed imperial title by that point, attacking and seizing parts of the Guanzhong region, <mask> Rong was initially going to send the general Heba Yue (賀拔岳) to command an army against Moqi. However, Heba Yue declined to be in command, believing that he would draw suspicions even if were victorious, and instead offering to serve under a member of the Erzhu clan. <mask> Rong therefore put <mask> Tianguang in command of the army, with Heba and Houmochen Yue (侯莫陳悅) as <mask> Tianguang's lieutenants. <mask> Tianguang was given a relatively small army, and initially the campaign against Moqi appeared hopeless, but with <mask> Tianguang himself and Heba both being capable generals, they scored

 initial victories and then misled Moqi into believing that they would rest several months before taking further action. Instead, they made a surprise attack against Moqi, capturing him in battle, and then captured Moqi's capital Gaoping (高平, in modern Guyuan, Ningxia) and Moqi's prime minister Xiao Baoyin.<mask> Tianguang's follow-up campaign against Moqi Chounu's general Moqi Daoluo (万俟道洛), however, was initially unsuccessful, and <mask> Rong, in anger, had Emperor Xiaozhuang demote his rank and title to marquess. <mask> Tianguang, however, was eventually able to force Moqi Daoluo to flee to another rebel general, Wang Qingyun, and then defeated and captured both Moqi Daoluo and Wang. Involvement in the campaign against Emperor Xiaozhuang
With the Guanzhong region and the surrounding provinces pacified, <mask> Tianguang was put in charge of those provinces, with his headquarters at Chang'an. His title was restored to duke. Late in 530, Emperor Xiaozhuang, apprehensive that <mask> Rong would eventually seized the throne, ambushed him in the palace and killed him. <mask> Rong's cousin <mask> Shilong and nephew <mask> Zhao rebelled, declaring <mask> Rong's wife Princess Beixiang's nephew Yuan Ye the Prince of Changguang emperor. However, <mask> Tianguang initially took no corresponding action; rather, when Emperor Xiaozhuang sent his official Zhu Rui (朱瑞) to try to persuade <mask> Tianguang to join his side, <mask> Tianguang deliberately made ambiguous gestures, trying to instead encourage Emperor Xiaozhuang to abandon Luoyang and flee, rather than to directly confront the emperor.Both Emperor Xiaozhuang and Yuan Ye conferred princely titles on <mask> Tianguang, and <mask> Tianguang

 eventually accepted Yuan Ye's bestowment of the Prince of Longxi title, but did not make further threatening gestures against Emperor Xiaozhuang. Around the new year 531, <mask> Zhao made a surprise attack on Luoyang and captured it and Emperor Xiaozhuang, and only then did <mask> Tianguang go to Luoyang to meet with <mask> Zhao and <mask> Shilong, but soon returned to his post at Chang'an. While <mask> Tianguang was still at Luoyang, however, he suggested to <mask> Shilong, who had become concerned that Yuan Ye's lineage was too far from the recent emperors' to be a proper candidate for the throne, to make Emperor Xianwen's grandson Yuan Gong the Prince of Guangling emperor. In spring 531, <mask> Shilong took such action, forcing Yuan Ye to yield the throne to Yuan Gong, who took the throne as Emperor Jiemin. Defeat and death
<mask> Tianguang continued to control the western provinces, and in summer 531 he attacked the rebel general Suqin Mingda (宿勤明達) and captured him, taking Xia Province (夏州, roughly modern Yulin, Shanxi), which Suqin controlled, under his own control, while delivering Suqin to Luoyang to be executed. However, when the general Gao Huan rebelled at Xindu (信都, in modern Hengshui, Hebei) later in the summer, <mask> Tianguang abandoned his planned campaigns against the rebel generals Gedouling Yili (紇豆陵伊利) and Moqi Shouluogan (万俟受洛干), who controlled the modern central and western Gansu, and prepared for possible action in the east, although he did not immediately intervene in the campaign between Gao and his fellow Erzhu clan members, even after Gao defeated Erzhu Zhao in battle late in 531.

 that they could be destroyed together, the generals Husi Chun and Heba Sheng (賀拔勝, Heba Yue's brother) persuaded Erzhu Shilong to put pressure on Erzhu Tianguang to act against Gao Huan.Soon, <mask> Tianguang took his army to converge with <mask> Zhao, and <mask> Shilong's brothers <mask> Dulü (爾朱度律) and <mask> Zhongyuan (爾朱仲遠) at the important city Yecheng, which Gao had taken earlier in 532. Despite numerical advantage, however, Gao defeated them, and <mask> Zhao fled back to Jinyang (晉陽, in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi), while <mask> Zhongyuan fled back to Huatai (滑台, in modern Anyang, Henan). <mask> Tianguang and <mask> Dulü retreated toward Luoyang, but Husi rebelled at this time, seizing the fortress of Beizhong (北中, just north of Luoyang across the Yellow River), and when <mask> Dulü and <mask> Tianguang failed to recapture Beizhong, they were forced to flee, and they were captured and delivered to Husi, who in turn delivered them, as well as the heads of <mask> Shilong and <mask> Shilong's brother <mask> Yanbo (爾朱彥伯) (whom Husi had earlier captured and executed) to Gao. Gao had <mask> Tianguang and <mask> Dulü executed. The official history of Northern Wei, the Book of Wei, written during the succeeding Northern Qi (whose imperial family was Gao Huan's descendants), was largely highly critical of the Erzhus, but remarked that <mask> Tianguang was, unlike the other Erzhu clan members, neither corrupt nor violent, and praised him for his recapturing the western provinces for Northern Wei.

<mask> was the key person to the establishment and operation of the first passenger railway in Ireland, the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR), and the first commercial atmospheric railway in the world, the Dalkey Atmospheric Railway. Biography

<mask> (1796–1856), often distinguished from his father as junior, originated from a branch of the Pim Quaker family of Mountmellick that moved to Dublin in 1795. His father was <mask>, who had corn merchant interests, and was a cousin of Thomas, Jonathan and <mask>. The appears to be a record to a marriage on 11 November 1823 to Eliza Hogg of Redford, County Tyrone, daughter of Johnathan Hogg, at the Friend's Meeting-house Dungannon. Pim set up a stockbroking business in 1824, this requiring relatively little capital but would have required personal securities which could have been backed by members of his kin. He acquired the Dublin agency for the Imperial Fire Assurance Company from his father. He began buying stock in the Grand Canal Company when it was available cheaply; building up a holding of £5,600 by 1830, which was available as collateral for other loans.Shepherd notes he was described as "a man of rare ability and was to prove his worth in future negotiations with the Great Western Railway". An AGM report from 1827 for The Retreat at Bloomfield, a Dublin institution for persons afflicted with disorders of the mind shows <mask>m as committee treasurer and several other family and business associates on the committee as directors. By 1833 <mask> was a partner in Boyle, Low, Bickerstaff and Pim., stockbrokers and bankers. The resources of the firm was later to prove useful in

Involved with a group looking at a canal transport solutions from Kingstown Harbour to Dublin <mask> was the prominent member of a breakaway section who were aware of the development of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and stood as guarantor for Alexander Nimmo to perform a survey for a railway alternative. The Act for formation of the D&KR gaining Royal assent on 6 September 1831 and at a meeting of the D&KR committee on 2 December 1831 <mask> was appointed Secretary, a position he had held in provisional committee and was noted for taking a disproportionately large share of the burden in obtaining the Act. The D&KR company records of 18 May 1932 records of <mask>m: "The present favourable prospects of the company are principally owing to the great personal exertions of <mask>m".He was also appointed Treasurer on that date. The vacant position of "Clerk of the Company" was taken by Thomas F. Bergin, an engineer by profession. Bergin oversaw the daily operations of the D&KR and Murray notes Bergin and <mask> "were to make an excellent team". <mask> successfully negotiated a Board of Public Works loan with a series of letters backed by increasing security guarantees until the loan was forthcoming. During the construction Pim had to work in conjunction with the consulting engineer Charles Blacker Vignoles to smooth out minor construction problems and workmen injuries. When the D&KR initially raised a bill in 1833 to extend the D&KR to Dalkey there was considerable opposition and a select committee Pim made some progress when

A subsequent 1834 Bill for a small extension to Kingstown was successful though Pim had to do careful negotiations with the Admiralty including a possible Compensation Harbour.In 1840 D&KR officers and directors visited the Clegg and Samuda Brothers demonstration atmospheric railway at Wormwood Scrubbs. <mask> became an avid enthusiast and favourable argreements were negotiated to install the world's first commercial system between Kingstown and Dalkey, with trials from August 1843 and public opening in March 1844. The Dalkey atmospheric was to operate moderately effectively albeit not necessarily economically and not without difficulties for ten years. More controversially Pim also put forward a proposal for the Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) Dublin to Cork mainline to be built as an atmospheric railway alongside the Grand, but was severely rebuked by the GS&WR's Sir John Benjamin Macneill who pointed out the engineering impracticalities and conflict of interest an efficient GS&WR would have on the Grand Canal and Pim's stockholding in it. In the mid 1840s the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow and Dublin Railway (WWW&DR) startup supported by the Great Western Railway (GWR) indicated intentions to build a line from Dublin to Bray and then further South. Ultimately <mask> advised the D&KR board they should negotiate terms to lease the D&KR to the WWW&DR and agreement were sealed in three acts in 1846. Ten years later the WWW&DR exercised those rights and the D&KR ceased to be a train operating company.<mask>'s health had suffered with negotiations

<mask> (born 1959) is a contemporary artist. A mixed-media artist, Bickerton often combines photographic and painterly elements with industrial and found object assemblages. He is associated with the early 1980s art movement Neo-Geo. Life
Born in Barbados in 1959, Bickerton is the son of <mask>, a linguist and scholar of Creole and pidgin languages. His father's research work caused his family to move around the globe every several years. As a child <mask> lived in a number of countries across four continents. The family finally settled in Hawaii in 1972.British by birth, <mask> became a naturalized US citizen in the mid-1980s. He spent 12 years in New York where he established his career before finally settling on the island of Bali in 1993, where he presently resides. Career
<mask> graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 1982, then moved to New York to attend the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. After exhibiting for a few years in New York, he was included in a four-person show at the Sonnabend Gallery in 1986, that included Jeff Koons, Peter Halley and Meyer Vaisman. In 2004 The New Museum exhibited "East Village USA," a show that featured "Neo-Geo" artists including <mask>. In 2009 he was included in Pop Life: Art in a Material World, at the Tate Modern in London The following year he was exhibited in Collecting Biennials at the Whitney Museum of American Art, which acted as a counterpoint to the 2010 Biennial and paid homage to the previous 80 years of Whitney Biennials. He has had solo exhibitions at Various Small Fires in Los Angeles (2021), Lehman Maupin Gallery (2006, 2008, 2011), Sonnabend Gallery, (2000, 2004, 2006), both in New York, and White Cube in London (2001, 2009).Over the last twenty-five years, <mask> has exhibited his

His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art; the Tate; the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Berardo Collection Museum in Lisbon, Portugal; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In April 2014, <mask> held his first solo exhibition at Gajah Gallery. The month-long exhibition, "Junk Anthropologies", marked a new direction for the American master of philosophical funk, where he re-established himself as a master painter in the grand tradition. The focus of the works is about the ongoing corruption of Bali that he witnessed being a resident there, with the styles greatly influenced by Paul Gauguin, for whom he has a perennial obsession. From April to August 2017, Bickerton had his first UK retrospective at Newport Street Gallery in London. Entitled "Ornamental Hysteria" and spanning more than three decades of the artist's career, the exhibition presented 51 works, many of which were new and previously unexhibited pieces.Amongst the featured works was Canoe, Shark, Woman (2016), a sculpture created in Yogyakarta Art Lab, which The Guardian described as "[having] the look of the ritual artefact of <mask>’s tropical island obsession, creating a power object or fetish (as islanders do) with found objects (fish, flowers, beads) that is the more hypnotic for its solemn parody – silver vestal offering a hammerhead shark, coconuts in her Indonesian canoe". In 2022, <mask> had two solo shows in New York. His show at Lehmann Maupin gallery, titled Seascapes at the End of History, includes art objects from his Ocean Chunk series that were first conceived while living in New York

This exhibition was curated by 56 Henry gallery founder Ellie Rines and a second show at Jamian Juliano-Villani's gallery was at O'Flaherty's on Avenue C. The press release was written by the contemporary artist Jordan Wolfson. Work
<mask>'s work has explored issues in contemporary art related to the commidification of the art object itself. Often his objects are grotesque in a self-aware manner and are often a critique of capitalism. Early constructions
In the 1980s <mask> made a series of works which resembled packing cases and crates, covered with corporate logos.His early work is noted for its display of corporate logos and constructions titled as either "Self-Portraits," "Commercial pieces," or "Anthropospheres." They are typically Assemblages of technological or industrial materials with the inclusion of found elements and screen printed iconographic images. These seemingly functional objects without clear purpose are often covered in various logos, technological signage, and codes. His artwork "Abstract Painting for People 4" made in 1987 is now included in the collection of François Pinault as of 2007. Singapore Tyler Print Institute
The mixed-media pieces he made in collaboration with the Singapore Tyler Print Institute are "spooky" images of green-skinned creatures emerging from a sea littered with cans and bottles. Collaboration with Yogyakarta Art Lab
<mask>’s most recent project has been a collaboration with the Yogyakarta Art Lab (YAL). YAL is Gajah Gallery’s major initiative based in Yogyakarta - Indonesia’s up and coming art hub - co-founded in April 2012 by Indonesian artist Yunizar and owner of Gajah Gallery Jasdeep Sandhu.This collaboration involves <mask> creating series of

 sculptures which examined what <mask> would like to think of as the "mitochondrial eve". Originally derived from clay models the artist created in his Bali studio, they are being reinvented in Jogjakarta in a variety of archival materials centered on cast aluminum. These new works now coming out of YAL have been described by Jasdeep Sandhu as "Some of the more important contemporary sculpture produced in the past 10 years". Recent works
<mask> continues to develop work within his established themes and iconography of tropical surrealism, green-headed characters, and assemblages. His work in 2006 and 2007 has taken the form of large-format digital prints and paintings with thick wooden frame constructions with various inlays. These elements can be seen in "Made's Warung" 2006 and "Green Head with Inlay 1" (2007). 2014 marked the start of a new series of Silver Ladies, which are manifested in a double portrait of two identical subjects, beautiful young Balinese women, nude except for a floral sash around their hips and coronas of tropical flowers.Their bare skin and dreadlocked hair are painted shiny silver, their lips in vivid colours. The first work in this series is a painting titled 2 C (A)W E2 P.G. 2 T(B) W. The model for both figures is the artist’s Balinese wife, Cherry Saraswati <mask> as quoted from the catalogue "Junk Anthropologies" - <mask> written by Jamie James and published by Gajah Gallery.

The Army highlighted that the investigation's conclusion "was completely independent of any command influence and was not presented to any commander for a disposition decision".

<mask> () (February 6, 1918 – February 22, 2007) was a German author and painter. In World War II he served as a war correspondent aboard ships and U-boats. He is best known for his 1973 novel The Boat (Das Boot), which became an international bestseller and was adapted in 1981 as an Oscar-nominated film. His art works, collected in a gallery on the banks of the Starnberger See range from heavily decorated cars - outside -to a variety of mannequins seated or standing as if themselves visitors to the gallery, thus challenging the division between visitor and art work. Early life
<mask> was born in Weimar, in the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (present-day Thuringia), the second son of artist <mask>. She was unmarried, and he was raised by his mother and her parents. They lived in Weimar until 1924, then Rochlitz until 1932, and finally Chemnitz.He began contributing to newspapers in his teens and put on an exhibition of his drawings in 1933, when he was 15. He travelled to the Baltic Sea with his brother, and canoed along the Danube to the Black Sea. After taking his Abitur in 1937, he spent time in Italy, where he wrote his first book, Tage und Nächte steigen aus dem Strom. Eine Donaufahrt ("Days and nights rise from the river. A journey on the Danube"), published in 1941. He studied art in Dresden and Munich in 1939, and volunteered for the Kriegsmarine in 1940. Second World War
<mask> was a Sonderführer in a propaganda unit of the Kriegsmarine in the Second World War, writing as a war correspondent about his experiences on minesweepers, destroyers and submarines.He also made drawings and took photographs. As a Leutnant zur See in the autumn of 1941, <mask> joined Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock and the crew of

  on her seventh patrol in the Battle of the Atlantic. His orders were to photograph and describe the U-boat in action. From his experiences, he wrote a short story, "Die Eichenlaubfahrt" (The Oak-Leaves Patrol; Lehmann-Willenbrock had been awarded the Knight's Cross with oak leaves). Buchheim ended the war as an Oberleutnant zur See. Post-war career
After the war, Buchheim worked as an artist, art collector, gallery owner, art auctioneer and art publisher. Through the 1950s and 1960s, he established an art publishing house, and he wrote books on Georges Braque, Max Beckmann, Otto Mueller and Pablo Picasso.He collected works by French and German Expressionist artists, from groups including Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter, such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Alexej von Jawlensky, and Max Beckmann. These works had been derided as "degenerate" during the Nazi period, and he was able to buy them cheaply. In 1973 he published a novel based on his wartime experiences,  (The Boat), a fictionalised autobiographical account narrated by a "Leutnant Werner". It became the best-selling German fiction work on the war. His novel was followed by a non-fiction work, U-Boot-Krieg (U-Boat War) in 1976, which became the first part of a trilogy, together with U-Boot-Fahrer (U-Boat Sailors, 1985), and Zu Tode Gesiegt (Victory in the Face of Death, 1988). The trilogy includes over 5,000 photographs taken during World War II. He is also the author of the novels Die Festung (The Fortress, 1995), based on travels home across France in 1944, and Der Abschied (The Parting, 2000), about the nuclear-powered cargo vessel NS Otto Hahn.Das Boot was turned into a film in 1981,

 featuring Jürgen Prochnow as the captain and the debut of Herbert Grönemeyer as "Leutnant Werner". Director Wolfgang Petersen and Buchheim fell out after the author was not allowed to write the script. (<mask> was always noted for his short temper – he was later nicknamed the "Starnberg volcano".) The film was the most expensive German film ever made. It was nominated for six Oscars. Even though impressed by the technological accuracy of the film's set-design and port construction buildings, <mask> expressed great disappointment with Petersen's adaptation in a film review published in 1981, describing Petersen's film as converting his clearly anti-war novel into a blend of a "cheap, shallow American action flick" and a "contemporary German propaganda newsreel from World War II". He also criticised the hysterical overacting of the cast, which he called highly unrealistic, despite their talent.<mask>, after several attempts for an American adaptation had failed, had provided his own script as soon as Petersen was chosen as new director. It would have been a six-hour epic; Petersen turned him down because the producers were aiming for a 90-minute feature for international release. However, today's Director's Cut of Das Boot amounts to over 200 minutes, and the complete TV version of the film is 282 minutes long. Art collection
In later life, Buchheim sought a location to house his art collection, including
curiosities ranging from nutcrackers and Thai shadow puppets to mannequins and carousel animals in addition to his important collection of German Expressionist paintings and graphics. A building was constructed in Duisburg, but he considered it unfit, and he turned down offers from Weimar, Munich and Berlin. After years of

 quarreling with his home town of Feldafing, Bavaria, about his plans for a museum for his art collection, the town's citizens voted against the museum in a referendum. His museum finally opened in 2001 as the Museum der Phantasie in Bernried on the shore of Lake Starnberg, funded by the government of Bavaria.The entire collection has been estimated to be worth up to $300 million. In June 2000, the Sprengel Museum in Hanover voted to return a Lovis Corinth’s painting, “Walchensee, Johannisnacht” (“The Walchensee on St John’s eve”) which its donor, Dr. Bernhard Sprengel, had purchased from Buchheim, to the heirs of Dr Gustav Kirstein and his wife Therese Clara Stein, who committed suicide due to Nazi persecution. Private life and death
Despite a fortune estimated at 14.1 million Swiss francs in the late 1980s, Buchheim was known for his frugality. He used a camping table in his dining room, and according to his son, did not pay taxes and reused print blocks made by Otto Müller, forging the artist's initials. He died of heart failure in Starnberg, survived by his wife, Diethild, and two children. Awards

<mask> (; July 718 – 14 September 775 AD) was Byzantine emperor from 741 to 775. His reign saw a consolidation of Byzantine security from external threats. As an able military leader, <mask> took advantage of civil war in the Muslim world to make limited offensives on the Arab frontier. With this eastern frontier secure, he undertook repeated campaigns against the Bulgars in the Balkans. His military activity, and policy of settling Christian populations from the Arab frontier in Thrace, made Byzantium's hold on its Balkan territories more secure. Religious strife and controversy was a prominent feature of his reign. His fervent support of Iconoclasm and opposition to monasticism led to his vilification by later Byzantine historians and writers, who denigrated him as Kopronymos or Copronymus (Κοπρώνυμος), meaning the dung-named.The Byzantine Empire enjoyed a period of increasing internal prosperity during <mask>'s reign. He was also responsible for important military and administrative innovations and reforms. Early life

<mask> was born in Constantinople, the son and successor of Emperor Leo III and his wife Maria. In August 720, at two years of age, he was associated with his father on the throne, and appointed co-emperor. In Byzantine political theory more than one emperor could share the throne; however, although all were accorded the same ceremonial status, only one emperor wielded ultimate power. As the position of emperor was in theory, and sometimes in practise, elective rather than

 strictly hereditary, a ruling emperor would often associate a son or other chosen successor with himself as a co-emperor to ensure the eventual succession. To celebrate the coronation of his son, Leo III introduced a new silver coin, the miliaresion; worth a 12th of a gold nomisma, it soon became an integral part of the Byzantine economy.In 726, <mask>'s father issued the Ecloga; a revised legal code, it was attributed to both father and son jointly. <mask> married Tzitzak, daughter of the Khazar khagan Bihar, an important Byzantine ally. His new bride was baptized Irene (Eirēnē, "peace") in 732. On his father's death, <mask> succeeded as sole emperor on 18 June 741. <mask> suffered from a chronic medical condition, possibly epilepsy or leprosy; early in his reign this may have been employed by those rebelling against him to question his fitness to be emperor.

Rebellion of Artabasdos
In June 742, while <mask> was crossing Asia Minor to campaign on the eastern frontier against the Umayyad Caliphate under Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, his brother-in-law Artabasdos, husband of his older sister, Anna, rebelled. Artabasdos was the stratēgos (military governor) of the Opsikion theme (province) and had effective control of the Armeniac theme.Artabasdos struck against <mask> when their respective troops combined for the intended campaign; a trusted member of <mask>'s retinue, called Beser, was killed in the attack. <mask> escaped and sought refuge in Amorion, where he was welcomed by the local

Meanwhile, Artabasdos advanced on Constantinople and, with the support of Theophanes Monutes (<mask>'s regent) and Patriarch Anastasius, was acclaimed and crowned emperor. <mask> received the support of the Anatolic and Thracesian themes; Artabasdos secured the support of the theme of Thrace in addition to his own Opsikion and Armeniac soldiers. The rival emperors bided their time making military preparations. Artabasdos marched against <mask> at Sardis in May 743 but was defeated. Three months later <mask> defeated Artabasdos' son Niketas and his Armeniac troops at Modrina and headed for Constantinople.In early November <mask> entered the capital, following a siege and a further battle. He immediately targeted his opponents, having many blinded or executed. Patriarch Anastasius was paraded on the back of an ass around the hippodrome to the jeers of the Constantinopolitan mob, though he was subsequently allowed to stay in office. Artabasdos, having fled the capital, was apprehended at the fortress of Pouzanes in Anatolia, probably located to the south of Nicomedia. Artabasdos and his sons were then publicly blinded and secured in the monastery of Chora on the outskirts of Constantinople. <mask>'s support of iconoclasm

Like his father Leo III, <mask> supported iconoclasm, which was a theological movement that rejected the veneration of religious images and sought to destroy those in existence. Iconoclasm was later

texts: definitively classed as heretical.<mask>'s avowed enemies in what was a bitter and long-lived religious dispute were the iconodules, who defended the veneration of images. Iconodule writers applied to <mask> the derogatory epithet Kopronymos ("dung-named", from kopros, meaning "faeces" or "animal dung", and onoma, "name"). Using this obscene name, they spread the rumour that as an infant he had defiled his own baptism by defaecating in the font, or on the imperial purple cloth with which he was swaddled. <mask> questioned the legitimacy of any representation of God or Christ. The church father John Damascene made use of the term 'uncircumscribable' in relation to the depiction of God. <mask>, relying on the linguistic connection between 'uncircumscribed' and 'incapable of being depicted', argued that the uncircumscribable cannot be legitimately depicted in an image. As Christian theology holds that Christ is God, He also cannot be represented in an image.The Emperor was personally active in the theological debate; evidence exists for him composing thirteen treatises, two of which survive in fragmentary form. He also presented his religious views at meetings organised throughout the empire, sending representatives to argue his case. In February 754, <mask> convened a synod at Hieria, which was attended entirely by iconoclast bishops. The council agreed with <mask>'s religious policy on images, declaring them anathema, and it secured the election of a new iconoclast patriarch. However, it

The council confirmed the status of Mary as Theotokos (), or 'Mother of God', upheld the use of the terms "saint" and "holy" as legitimate, and condemned the desecration, burning, or looting of churches in the quest to suppress icon veneration. The synod of Hieria was followed by a campaign to remove images from the walls of churches and to purge the court and bureaucracy of iconodules.Since monasteries tended to be strongholds of iconophile sentiment and contributed little or nothing towards the secular needs of the state, <mask> specifically targeted these communities. He also expropriated monastic property for the benefit of the state or the army. These acts of repression against the monks were largely led by the Emperor's general Michael Lachanodrakon, who threatened resistant monks with blinding and exile. In the hippodrome he organised the pairing of numerous monks and nuns in forced marriage, publicly ridiculing their vows of chastity. An iconodule abbot, Stephen Neos, was beaten to death by a mob at the behest of the authorities. As a result of persecution, many monks fled to southern Italy and Sicily. The implacable resistance of iconodule monks and their supporters led to their propaganda reaching those close to the Emperor.On becoming aware of an iconodule influenced conspiracy directed at himself,
