During his time as Vice-Chancellor <mask> conceived and oversaw the launch of Square Mile India, an initiative created to “help improve the lives of thousands of India’s poorest and most vulnerable families”. To do this, students from the university would travel to Ahmedebad, Gujarat, to work with the community in the city’s largest slum, home to 160,000 people. Whilst they were there, the students focussed on improving the infrastructure of the slum sustainably, by introducing the use of solar power and intelligent electricity systems to ensure energy would be used efficiently. They also worked closely with these communities to “help people needing treatment for eyesight and hearing problems, and to use art, education and psychology training to improve community life”, as well as building homes for families affected by leprosy, work on projects to improve sanitation, design anti-microbial pillows for children to sleep on and help improve literacy and numeracy skills. In 2013, the Gandhi Global Family, a United Nations NGO, presented Prof <mask> with the Mahatma Gandhi Seva Medal for services to society. As a result of the university’s commitment to social good, its efforts were recognised by Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson in a visit to the campus later that year.

<mask> (17 November 1928 – 29 December 2003) was a British comic book artist and author. <mask> is best known for his comic strips The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire in the British weeklies Ranger and Look and Learn, and the Storm series, first published in the Dutch weekly Eppo (later relaunched as Sjors & Sjimmie) and subsequently in album form. Famous for his realistic and detailed style, he was an inspiration for later UK comic-book artists such as Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons and Chris Weston (indeed, Weston was taught by <mask>), and influenced Indonesian artist Apri Kusbiantoro. Early life
Born in East Sheen, a suburb of London, <mask> was educated at St. Paul's School, Hammersmith. After joining the Army for his National Service, <mask> used his gratuity to study art at Borough Polytechnic Institute (now the London South Bank University) but failed his final exams. Shortly before, a former student had visited the school to show students the work he was doing as a letterer on comic strips. <mask> was inspired to take some samples to an editor at Amalgamated Press who suggested he try showing them to Mick Anglo, who ran a studio packaging comic strips for a London publisher and magazine distributor, Len Miller.Career
<mask> worked for Anglo for four years, drawing the adventures of superhero Marvelman and various Western comic strips. After an argument with Anglo over pay rates, he found work with Odhams Press, drawing Wells Fargo for Zip, and with the Amalgamated Press (now renamed Fleetway Publications), contributing episodes of Billy the Kid to the comic Sun. When the ailing Sun merged with Lion, <mask> switched to swashbuckling historical strips, Olac the Gladiator, Karl the Viking and Maroc the Mighty (written by Michael Moorcock). A colour strip produced for Lion Annual 1965 ('Karl the Viking and the Tideless Sea') led to <mask> being offered colour work in Bible Story magazine and the sprawling science fantasy The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire which debuted in Ranger in 1965. <mask> was to draw the strip in the pages of Ranger and Look and Learn until 1976. In 1976 <mask>

 attended the London comic book convention called Comics 101, the first convention dedicated to British comic book creators. There he learned that The Trigan Empire was syndicated all over Europe.When his publisher refused to give him any form of royalties or compensation, he departed from his old employer and was immediately offered work on a new Dutch comic magazine called Eppo. After an abortive start on a strip entitled Commander Grek written by his friend Vince Wernham, <mask> found success with Storm. The first volume, The Deep World, was based on a concept by Martin Lodewijk but written by Philip Dunn. A further 22 volumes followed. <mask> did not limit himself solely to Trigan Empire and Storm; other strips he drew include Fireball XL5 and The Adventures of Tarzan for TV Century 21, Carrie for the men's magazine Mayfair and a number of one-off strips for various Dutch publishers. A number of partly completed and unpublished comic strips appeared in the series Don <mask> Collection, published in the Netherlands. The final Storm serial (completed by <mask>'s former assistant Liam Sharp) appeared in the magazine Pandarve published by the Don Lawrence Fanclub in 1999–2001.One of his last illustrations was the cover of volume 6 of the Storm -the collection- from 2002. In the mid 1980s he was looking for an assistant and accepted then 17-years old Liam Sharp as his apprentice, but after realizing he did not want to step back as much as he had thought he would, he helped Sharp develop his own style. Later life
In 1995, he lost sight of his right eye, caused by an infection after an unsuccessful cataract operation. With his depth perception gone, he could no longer see when the tip of his pen and brush touched the paper's surface, forcing him to teach himself an alternative drawing technique. He went through a new cataract operation in 1999, this time without medical complications. But his general health was starting to decline, and when he was diagnosed with emphysema and put on medication, he permanently retired from comics and art. <mask> died in December 2003 of emphysema at the age of

<mask> (29 January 1802 – 11 January 1896) was a French architect and painter, who served as chief architect of the cities of Marseille, Algiers, in Algeria; and Cairo, in Egypt. He is particularly known for having designed the seafront of the city of Algiers. Biography
His parents, owners in Santo Domingo, then a French colony, had to leave Port-au-Prince in 1802, only a few months after he was born. After his studies at the Lycée Henri-IV and in memory of his father, the General of the Empire, <mask>, he was first destined for a career in arms and was received at the Schools of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan in 1819. However, he was unable to attend the School because his family was ruined by the Haitian Revolution and the revolt in Saint-Domingue, and did not have enough resources to pay his board. After the death of his father, who had already lost his mother, he was taken in by his uncle <mask>, father of the painter Théodore Chassériau. The generals Jean-Baptiste Milhaud and Augustin-Daniel Belliard, as a token of their affection for General Chassériau, offered <mask>, who had just been admitted to the Saint-Cyr, to pay him the pension that the State refused him.Out of pride and although grateful, he did not believe he had to accept and did not become a soldier. He first entered a notary's office in 1821 but decided to become an architect, he stayed 10 months in the workshop of Jean-François-Julien Mesnager in 1823. On 3 April 1824, he was received as a pupil-titular of the Ecole des beaux-arts de Paris<ref name="beaux-arts">Louis Thérèse David de Pénanrun, Edmond Augustin Delaire, Louis François Roux, Les Architectes élèves de l'École des beaux-arts 1793–1907, Librairie de la

He also researched the effects of prolonged exposure to chemicals in the environments of people in certain occupations. In March 1971, he left the left the established world of research and clinical treatment at the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) main campus in Bethesda armed with a desire to reach beyond the treatment of chronic disease to seek its underlying causes and, through research, to learn how to prevent such diseases caused by environmental agents. <mask> arrived in the newly established Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, where he set about the work of conceptualizing and then actualizing a state-of- the-art research facility among the pine forest and pastureland of the area, a prescient move that would situate the Institute at the epicenter of what would become an internationally renowned research commons. He created the NIEHS journal, Environmental Health Perspectives, in 1972. <mask> developed the NIEHS Extramural Program to administer an expanding portfolio of PHS grants and awards in environmental health science to researchers at colleges and universities throughout the United States. <mask> served as the U.S. coordinator of cooperative environmental health programs between the United States and the U.S.S.R., the United Kingdom, Egypt, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Italy, Finland, and Spain.As a result of his work in attempting to strengthen international scientific cooperation, in 1975 the NIEHS was designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Collaborating Center for Environmental Health Effects.

<mask> was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn. He graduated from Brooklyn College in 1960 with a degree in accounting. Sterling Equities
Katz is a co-founder of Sterling Equities. In 1972, he cofounded Sterling Equities, a commercial real estate development company, with his brother-in-law Fred Wilpon. They built a development of townhouses in Tarrytown, a suburb in Westchester County which was very successful. Seeking to minimize their tax obligations, they purchased real estate throughout the country that had favorable tax treatment which turned out to be a boon since they were unknowingly buying property at the bottom of the market.Sterling Equities was a significant investor in Bernie Madoff's fraudulent investment fund with 483 accounts. Merrill Lynch warned <mask> on several occasions about Madoff's operation, as did numerous other financial professionals. Sterling Equities ignored these warnings collectively receiving $300 million dollars via the Madoff operation ultimately revealed as a fraud. The Madoff fraud collapsed and Sterling Equities owners were sued by the trustee representing the victims of Bernard L. Madoff’s Ponzi scheme who claimed they "knew or should have known Madoff was operating a fraud." In 2012, it was reported that Sterling Equities was to receive a gift of 23 acres of land from New York City with the intention of developing the land into a shopping mall. The city had recently spent almost $500 million acquiring and improving that same land. The Attorney General of New York, Eric Schneiderman reached a settlement agreement regarding illegal lobbying on behalf of Sterling Equities.In 2015, a New York state court ruled that the because part of the plan involved private development of public parkland it was illegal. By 2018, the plans for a shopping mall had been shelved and the De Blasio administration was supporting a plan centered around affordable housing. The deal was approved by the Queens Borough Board.

<mask> first bought an ownership stake in the New York Mets in 1980. In addition, he serves as the President of the Brooklyn Cyclones, a Mets minor league affiliate. During <mask>'s time as president of the Mets, it has been reported that sexual harassment was rampant.The culture was described as "rotten." This included bullying a pregnant woman and sending a reporter harassing text messages including photos of an erect penis. Allegedly, the "behavior was widely known in the Mets front office." New owner Steve Cohen hired a law firm to look into the accusations of harassment, misconduct, and discrimination during <mask>'s tenure. The Mets rarely made money under <mask>'s leadership. Nearly every dollar the Mets earned passed through Bernie Madoff's investment funds. The collapse of Madoff's fraudulent investment scheme came close to bankrupting the Mets.It also likely contributed to their dreadful record on the field. The team was terrible, failing to reach the .500 mark for many years. In 2014, <mask> was rumored to be interested in selling his ownership stake in the Mets. <mask> and his fellow owners sold a minority stake and, eventually, total ownership in the team. When the 2020 MLB season was delayed and later shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, employees complained about not being paid and not hearing anything from the Mets owners. By comparison, Nets owner Joseph Tsai announced he would be paying non-salaried Barclays Center employees within one day after the NBA season was canceled. In 2020, a deal to sell the team to hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen fell through over issues of team control.A similar deal with David Einhorn fell through in 2011. In February 2020, it was reported that <mask> and his partners were willing to sell the team without maintaining control. In August, Cohen again entered into exclusive negotiations to buy the Mets. In September a deal was reached for Cohen to purchase 95% of the franchise from <mask> and the Wilpons for approximately $2.4 billion and on October 30, he was approved by MLB's owners. <mask> was then succeeded as president by Sandy Alderson.

Sterling Equities and individuals affiliated with <mask> and Wilpon received $300 million in respect of investments in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme.Lawyers for the Madoff Trustee cited evidence that Sterling partners shopped for fraud insurance as evidence they were "well aware" that Madoff was carrying out a Ponzi scheme. Wilpon and <mask> "categorically reject[ed]" the charge that they "ignored warning signs" about Madoff's fraud. Irving H. Picard, the Madoff Trustee, has alleged that <mask>'s relationship with Mr. Madoff was extensive and longstanding and that they continued even after suspicions were raised. Picard sued <mask>, his partner Fred Wilpon, and Sterling Equities for 1 billion in illegal profits from the scheme.

The band helped <mask> break new ground, playing live as support to local bands including Atomic Opera, featuring Jim Root, and Heads on the Wall, featuring Shawn Crahan. He also played at a bowling center his family owned, on a night called "Bowl-O-Rama". After a multitude of lineup changes—including Craig Jones and Josh Brainard, who would reappear in Slipknot—the band released two demos in 1993: Visceral and Mud Fuchia. After leaving school, <mask> was hired by a local music store called Musicland. In March 1994, after a recommendation from his new friend, he got a job at a Sinclair garage in Urbandale.<mask> worked the night shift, which he preferred, as it left his weekends free and allowed him to spend time with his friends and listen to music while working. In early 1995, Modifidious disbanded because of a shift in interest from thrash metal to death metal in America. Following this <mask> joined a local band called the Rejects as a guitarist, with whom he only played a couple of shows. <mask> was also involved in a band with Paul Gray and vocalist Don Decker, named Anal Blast. Gray also attempted to recruit him for another band, Body Pit, but he declined the invitation to remain in The Rejects. During the forming period of Slipknot, Paul recruited <mask> to join a punk band called the Have Nots in the Spring of 1996. <mask> would leave the Have Nots in February 1997 to "focus on Slipknot" but instead reformed the Rejects, which would play Des Moines up until Slipknot left to record their self-titled debut album, which Paul played in after the Have Nots broke up.Career

On November 28, 1995, Mark Anthony Cadavos approached Jordison while he was working, offering him a position in a new project called The Pale Ones. Intrigued and at a point where he was "lost", <mask> attended rehearsals at Anders Colsefni's basement

 and immediately wanted to be part of this new band. Speaking of this moment he said, "I remember trying so hard not to smile, so I didn't look like I wanted to join, I remained poker-faced, but I thought they ruled." A lot of Slipknot's early development was discussed by band members while Jordison worked night shifts at Sinclair's garage. Of the eventual nine members, <mask> was the third to join the band. Slipknot would become pioneers to the new wave of American heavy metal. Jordison was accompanied by two custom percussionists, giving their music a feel that Rolling Stone touted as "suffocating".Each member of Slipknot is assigned a number; <mask> was assigned "#1". <mask>knot: 2005 live album 9.0: Live. In August 2008, <mask> broke his ankle and Slipknot had to cancel some of its English tour dates. On August 22, 2009, <mask> was taken to the emergency room for a burst appendix, less than an hour before he was to take the stage for Auburn, Washington's KISW Pain in the Grass concert. As a result, Slipknot canceled following shows in August and September, to give Jordison time to recover. On December 12, 2013, Slipknot announced through their official website that <mask> had left the band, citing personal reasons for his departure. In response, <mask> released a statement insisting that he had in fact been fired from the band and stated that Slipknot "has been my life for the last 18 years, and I would never abandon it, or my fans".After years of both sides being silent and evasive as to the reasons for his leaving the band, <mask> revealed in June 2016 that he suffered from transverse myelitis, a neurological disease that cost him the ability to play the drums toward the end of his time with Slipknot. Murderdolls

While touring Ozzfest in 2001 to support Slipknot's studio album Iowa, Jordison met Tripp Eisen, then of Static-X; the two discussed forming a side project. In 2002, <mask> revived his band The Rejects, renaming them the Murderdolls. <mask> became the Murderdolls' guitarist, and he

<mask> (born <mask>; , 10 January 1897 – 27 November 1931) was a Hungarian film actress during the silent era. She was noted for her portrayals of vamp characters. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Vécse, Austria-Hungary on 10 January 1897 (however, the date of birth on her tombstone says 1899, and other sources say 1896). She was one of the four children of <mask> (, 1863–1901), a cavalry officer, and his wife, Mária Rozália Kamilla, Countess Hoyos Baroness to Stichsenstein (, 1868–1945). She had two brothers, Géza and Sándor, the latter serving as a first lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian army, and a sister, Mária. She began her stage career on the Hungarian vaudeville circuit. She soon progressed to Berlin, where after performing in the ballet, she made her screen debut in 1918.She became the premiere danseuse at the Berlin Winter Garden in 1924. Around that time German film director Joe May noticed her and cast her in The Mistress of the World (1919), her first important film. She followed this success with noteworthy performances in Manon Lescaut and
Varieté (1925). The latter featured her opposite Emil Jannings and directed by E.A. Dupont. Both films are UFA productions. While in Germany, de Putti starred with such actors as Conrad Veidt, Alfred Abel, Werner Krauss, Grete Mosheim, and Lil Dagover and was filmed by directors F.W.Murnau and Fritz Lang. <mask> came to America in February 1926. At the time, she told reporters she was 22 years old but her ocean liner's records list her as having been 26. <mask> generally was cast as a vamp character, and often wore her dark hair short in a style similar to that of Louise Brooks or Colleen Moore. <mask> starred in D.W. Griffith's The

 Sorrows of Satan (1926). The film was released in two versions, one in the U.S. and the other in Europe. In the U.S. version, one scene had de Putti fully dressed whereas the same scene in the European release had de Putti topless.The following year, <mask> went to Hollywood but found little success. Despite working with distinguished actors such as Adolphe Menjou and Zasu Pitts, she failed to make it big and left the screen by 1929 to attempt to restart her career on Broadway. Later, she went to England to make silent movies and studied the English language. She then returned to the U.S. to attempt sound films. Alleged suicide attempts and death
On 5 March 1926 the Ogden Standard Examiner published a story alleging that <mask> had attempted suicide by jumping out of her apartment window at the Wilmersdorf quarters. She and her lover of one year, who was also an actor, had been arguing prior to the attempt. One of her arms and a foot was broken as a result of the fall.<mask> later claimed that she was saying goodbye to friends when she leaned too far over the railing and fell. In November 1927, <mask> was injured when she fell down the stairs and through a window. Some press accounts speculated that it was another suicide attempt, but <mask> denied this. <mask> nearly died in August 1930 when the small plane she was flying in crashed. In 1931, she was hospitalized to have a chicken bone removed from her throat. <mask> contracted a throat infection, and was taken to the Harbor Sanitarium, then located at 667 Madison Avenue, where reportedly she behaved irrationally and eluded her nurses. Eventually, she was found in a corridor.She developed pleurisy in her right side, followed by pneumonia in

 both lungs. <mask> <mask> died at 1:05 A.M. on 27 November 1931, aged 34, at the Harbor Sanitorium, leaving just $1,100 and a few bits of jewelry. She is interred in the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. Personal life

In 1913, she married Zoltán Szepessy de Négyes, a county magistrate who was 10 years her senior. The couple had two daughters, Ilona (born 1914) and Judit (born 1916). Upon divorcing in 1918, Szepessy told their two daughters that their mother had died; there was even a headstone in a Hungarian cemetery that bore the inscription 'Lya de Putti - died 1920'. On 8 March 1932, Szepessy committed suicide in a Budapest hotel due to financial difficulties and grief over <mask>'s death; it wasn't until his death that Ilona and Judit learned about their mother's true fate.She remarried in 1922 to Louis Jahnke, a Norwegian diplomat. Prior to Jahnke, she was married to the Norwegian merchant Ludwig Christensen, who left her widowed when he died of tuberculosis in 1922. In the late 1920s, <mask> met banker Walter D. Blumenthal. They began a relationship, and <mask> fell in love and wanted to marry him. His family did not allow the marriage, however, which resulted in <mask> going on a hunger strike in 1931. <mask> once was rumored to be engaged to Count Ludwig von Salm-Hoogstraeten, a former husband of oil heiress Millicent Rogers. She denied the engagement.<mask> de Putti in popular culture
 <mask> appears on the cover of Jessamine's 1995 self-titled album

 In the film Cabaret (1972), singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) tells a friend that <mask> <mask> is her "favorite screen siren". In a subsequent scene, Bowles dismisses de Putti, claiming that she "makes too many faces."

<mask> (4 April 1834 — 8 May 1905) was a Scottish sugar refiner and businessman, who then became a philanthropist and art collector. His house and grounds on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll became Benmore Botanic Garden, now managed by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Biography
<mask> was born on 4 April 1834 in Springburn, Lanarkshire. He was the son of a successful Glasgow bookseller. In the early 1850s, while studying Chemistry at Glasgow, <mask> took a boat trip from Greenock to the lochs and coastlines of Argyll. While on Loch Long, he conceived a unique method of refining sugar, a method which he then patented. Between 1858 and 1861, <mask> was a partner of the Greenock sugar refinery Duncan, Bell & Scott.In 1854, the refinery was producing up to 50,000 tons of sugar. In the mid-1860s, <mask> developed the Clyde Wharf Refinery in Silvertown, London, which became the largest and most profitable sugar refinery in London. <mask> constantly refined the process and learned different applications to keep Clyde Wharf at the top of the industry. At the peak of the business, Clyde Wharf was producing up to two thousand tons of sugar per week. In August 1885, <mask> published an article in the Sugar Cane Journal, titled 'The bounty on exportation of refined sugar from the United States'. In 1878, <mask> was elected Fellow of the Society of Chemical Industry, later becoming its Vice President. By 1879, he held the post of Chairman of the Sugar Refiners' Committee, and also became Chairman of the Railway and Canal Traders' Union.By the mid-1880s, cheaper German sugar imports led to the closure of Clyde Wharf in 1886. <mask> returned to Scotland, to manage the smaller refinery business in Greenock. After he retired, he spent time with his sister Mary Moubray in Strone, and spent the winter months in Italy. Philanthropy
<mask>'s charitable work was widely known throughout Britain. He gave twenty per cent of his annual £100,000 salary to a range of causes, making him one

In 1878, he was elected the Institute's Vice President.He regularly contributed works to European exhibitions, including to the Paris Salon, and to key international exhibitions of art and industry in France and Germany in the 1870s and 1880s. <mask> was the first Scottish collector of Impressionist works, including purchasing, in 1883, Renoir's The Bay of Naples (Morning) (1881). The painting was later lent to the Scottish National Gallery by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (who now own it), for an exhibition about <mask>'s collection. <mask> was also one of the most valued and important clients of the influential French picture dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, regularly frequenting the studios of Europe's most famous painters. He collected works by the likes of Henry Raeburn and Camille Corot, including Eugène Delacroix's The Death of Sardanapalus (1827). <mask> had a varied circle of friends from different fields, including the chemist <mask> "Paraffin" Young who established the world's first commercial oil works; the pioneering ophthalmic surgeon Dr Neven Gordon Cluckie, whose work led to the establishment of eye surgeries in hospitals throughout Britain; the celebrated preacher Charles Spurgeon; the Rev. Henry Boyd (Principal of Hertford College, Oxford, 1878–1922), with whom <mask> had worked closely in the 1870s to improve working conditions in London's East End; and Gustave Doré, the French artist whose gallery, paintings and book illustrations were popular in Britain.Peter Baxter (a curator at Benmore House) noted that “<mask> also employed his significant wealth in helping the poor in Scotland and England and improving the working conditions of his workforce, building churches and schools, providing medical care and introducing an

A memorial to <mask> designed by A. Macfarlane Shannon was erected in 1906 at Graham's Point in Kilmun, Argyll. Benmore House
In 1870, <mask> purchased Benmore House near Dunoon, Argyll. He then commissioned the construction of a large gallery building to showcase his large collection of fine arts along with a fernery and one of the largest greenhouses in Scotland. The estates amounted to 12,260 acres of land.<mask> made extensive improvements to the land, on some of which he kept West Highland cattle and Scottish Blackface sheep. The sheep were first seen at the Paris International Exhibition of 1878. His flock of sheep gained awards at the annual exhibitions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. <mask> also had over six million trees planted as part of the large landscape alterations he had designed, including commissioning features such as the 'Golden Gates', which were earlier shown at the Paris International Exhibition. Following the introduction of sugar imports from Germany, <mask> suffered a massive loss of fortune and had to sell the estate in 1889. Benmore House was acquired by the Younger family and later gifted to Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. It is now the Benmore Botanic Garden.<mask>'s art collection at Benmore was split up and sold and the paintings are now housed in museums around the world, including the Louvre, the Belvedere in Vienna, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The latter is home to four works from <mask>'s collection. Further reading

During his career, <mask> has served as head of the National Science Foundation, director of Argonne National Laboratory, and chairman of Bank of America. He has also served in professorial and administrative posts at the University of California, University of Chicago, Brown University, and the University of Illinois. <mask> is the only individual to serve as both President and Chairman of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and as Chair of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD). Additionally, <mask> is the only individual to have received both the Enrico Fermi Award for Science and Technology from the Chicago Historical Society and the Public Humanities Award from Illinois Humanities. Early life and education
Born on April 5, 1938 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, <mask> displayed a gift for mathematics as a child, and by the middle of high school his academic achievements had earned him a Ford Foundation fellowship to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.There, he began studying theoretical physics, which he chose in part because it gave him the chance to rise above the discrimination he had witnessed as a youth in the segregated South of the 1940s and 1950s. <mask> graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1958. Mentors played an important role in <mask>'s academic life. Initially, he lacked direction at Morehouse until receiving the guidance of Sabinus H. Christensen, a white physics instructor teaching at the traditionally black college for men. Christensen's tutorials and support helped <mask> earn a bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics. Later, he continued his studies in physics under <mask> as a doctoral student at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. While finishing his doctoral

 studies, <mask> began working in 1966 as a member of the research staff at Argonne National Laboratory, which is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy by the University of Chicago.<mask>'s work at Argonne focused on the study of the many-body theory of liquids and solids, which attempts to explain the properties of systems of interacting particles in various states. He also continued his own research, applying correlated basic functions to both liquid and solid helium. Two years later, <mask> accepted an assistant professorship at the University of Illinois. Career

Academics and early advocacy
While continuing to pursue his own research, <mask>'s tenure at the University of Illinois was also defined by his commitment to achieving racial and social equality as well as to improving access to science and technology education. On his first night on campus, 264 black students who had protested racial discrimination at the university were arrested. This incident led him to become advisor to the Black Students Association and first chairman of the Black Faculty and Staff Association. In his teaching, meanwhile, <mask> found that many of his black students lacked the preparation in mathematics and the sciences necessary for success at the college level.This led to his interest in and commitment to the improvement of science teaching in high schools. In 1970, <mask> was offered an associate professorship at Brown University, which he accepted and would soon after complete some of his most significant academic research to date, collaborating with Humphrey Maris on the study of changes in sound waves in superfluid helium. By 1975, he had been appointed a full professor and dean of the college. Also at Brown, <mask> continued his efforts to support diversity in the sciences, developing and directing the Inner City Teachers of Science (INCTOS) program, through which Brown undergraduates studying to become science teachers served as mentors and tutors in urban high school science classes. The impact of this program earned <mask> the distinguished service citation of the American Association of

 Physics Teachers in 1975. In 1979, <mask>'s demonstrated success as a researcher and administrator at Brown led to his return to Argonne National Laboratory, this time as its director, in addition to which he was also appointed professor of physics at the University of Chicago. Argonne National Laboratory
At Argonne, <mask> assumed control of an annual budget of more than $250 million and a staff of almost four thousand.But he also assumed control of a nebulous public relations image. National laboratories at the time were highly suspect: their work was not being translated to industry. To the outside world, the laboratories lacked clear missions; on the inside, scientists and technicians lacked morale. To address these issues, <mask> reorganized the governance of the laboratory in the early 1980s, instituting what D. Allen Bromley, President George H.W. Bush's assistant for science and technology, referred to as "participatory democracy" among its scientists. At the same time, <mask> responded to the lack of outside connections by helping form the Argonne National Laboratory-University of Chicago Development Corporation (ARCH), an organization that expedited the transfer of technologies created in the laboratory to industry and the marketplace. Other initiatives <mask> undertook at Argonne include generating support for its nuclear energy programs in a time of drastic cutbacks and providing support and leadership for the funding of major research facilities at the laboratory, including the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS), the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II), and the initial funding for the Advanced Photon Source (APS).While at Argonne and the University of Chicago, <mask> also continued his work as an advocate on behalf of science education and awareness. In 1982, he headed the Chicago Mayoral Task Force on High-Technology Development and was the founding chair of the Chicago High-Tech Association. He also served on the Illinois Governor's Commission on Science and Technology and was highly visible on two educational fronts, helping to organize the Illinois Mathematics and

In 1989, <mask> served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. <mask>'s efforts to forge a more productive relationship between the scientific community, the U.S. government, and private industry culminated in 1990 with his appointment as director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) under President George H. W. Bush. In this role, <mask> embarked on a number of critical initiatives, including efforts to deepen the connection between academia and industry and the establishment of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences and the Commission on the Future of NSF. He also remained a strong proponent of basic research and science education, focusing on providing grants to university research centers and individuals and on upgrading pre-college science education, with an emphasis on attracting more women and minority groups to careers in science.In February 2016, it was announced that scientists at the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) had observed gravitational waves for the first time ever, confirming <mask>'s 1915 general theory of relativity. Dr. France Cordova, current director of the NSF, credited <mask>'s role in securing both approval and funding for the project nearly 25 years before. <mask> was honored by LIGO scientist Kip Thorne, with an invitation to the Nobel Prize in Physics ceremony. Other domestic and international science policy
In concert with his roles at Argonne and the University of Chicago, in 1987 <mask> was named president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, after having served as a board member for a number of years. As president, he led an organization listing over 140,000 members and 285 scientific societies. In this position, <mask>—the first African American ever to

Under <mask>'s leadership, the AAAS aimed to improve science education in grades K- 12 by sponsoring Project 2061, which attempted to structure curricula that would emphasize major scientific concepts.In doing so, <mask> and the AAAS hoped to address the loss of the United States' economic competitiveness in the world market beginning in the mid-1980s and to better prepare the nation to respond to the health and environmental crises that were afflicting the world at the time. Generally, <mask>'s aim at the AAAS was to instigate a shift in the national dialogue, in which science and technology had historically been emphasized only ever during times of war. In addition to his experience at the AAAS, <mask> has been involved as a member or chair of many other major scientific organizations, societies, and commissions. He was vice president of the American Physical Society; chair of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB); and a member of the President's Council of Advisors of Science and Technology (PCAST) in two presidential administrations. <mask> has also served as a member of the National Science Board, as well as on the Board of Trustees of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the Marine Biological Laboratory. <mask>'s service to the scientific community extends beyond domestic borders and is global in scope. He has served on the National Science Foundation's Advisory Committee for International Programs; was a member of the President's Advisory Board for the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; co-chaired the planning efforts on cooperative programs between the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the AAAS; co-chaired the AAAS project to strengthen Scientific and Technical Engineering Infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa; and was a founding member of the African Academy of Sciences, an organization designed to promote the advancement of scientific research and science education in sub-Saharan Africa.<mask> was also founding chairman of the National Society of Black

Following the completion of his tenure at the NSF, in 1993 <mask> became provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of California system, the nation's largest and perhaps most prestigious. In this role, he held the number two position in the state's university system, overseeing academic concerns at all of its nine campuses and its three national laboratories: Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos. In 1995, he assumed the presidency of his alma mater, Morehouse College. As president of Morehouse, <mask> created a vision that would take the college into the new century, which involved reinvigorating its campus, refreshing its core curriculum, and reigniting its fundraising efforts. <mask> retired from Morehouse in 2007. From 2007 to 2010, he chaired the board for the Salzburg Global Seminar.In 2010, <mask> entered a new phase of his career, accepting the role of interim president, and later as full president, of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a leading school of art and design. He also served a term as chair of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. In 2016, <mask> transitioned to his new role as chancellor of SAIC. Later that year, he also accepted the appointment to chair the board of the organization building the Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile. In 2017, <mask> was named to chair the board of trustees of the City Colleges of Chicago. Business, civic, and philanthropic career
In addition to his work as a scientist, college president, and leader in national and international science policy, <mask> has served on the boards of several major multinational corporations, including McDonald's, where he remains a director, and, previously, Bank of America, where he rose to Chairman, BP, Tribune Company, Motorola, First National Bank of Chicago,

 conditions.Ford helped pass the nation's strongest pharmaceutical transparency legislation. The law requires that if pharmaceutical manufacturers for diabetes medication have increased medication prices by a certain amount, they must disclose information regarding cost of making and marketing drugs, in addition to rebates they may provide. The law also works to create more transparency around PBMs, compelling them to act in insurers' best interests and bans PBMs from forbidding pharmacists from discussing lower-cost options with patients, something called a gag clause. Ford passed a “fiduciary duty” bill which removed exemptions for broker-dealers and financial advisors from rules that applied to financial planners and held them accountable for meeting a fiduciary duty to their clients. <mask> said he proposed the rule because of concerns that President Trump was “trying to do everything to stop” the implementation of the fiduciary rule.” UNLV law professor Benjamin Edwards said Senator <mask>’s legislation would “return integrity to a dirty business” and “creates a level playing field for the firms that do things the right way.”

The IRS filed three tax liens against Ford for what amounted to more than $185,000 in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties from 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, according to Clark County records.Those liens were cleared in 2016. Ford's campaign manager, Peggy Yang, told the Las Vegas Review Journal that Ford had "faced some financial difficulties" as a result of the recession and that those "difficulties" were further complicated upon being promoted to partner at his law firm. <mask> said that during the recession, his family had to take a pay cut, one of his sons started college and another son was hospitalized, explaining that they paid taxes every year but he was unable to pay the full amount due. On July 30, 2018, the Washington Free Beacon reported that <mask> purchased a new home for $468,138 in 2013, in the same year that he neglected to fully pay his income taxes. <mask> explained that he also "short-sold a house during that time period, trying to find the best way to handle the financial stresses and strains that the <mask> family encountered and endured during the recession as many other Nevadans had to do."

<mask> (30 March 1907 – 7 July 1994) was a German paratroop officer during World War II who later served in the armed forces of West Germany, achieving the rank of General. Following the war, Heydte pursued academic, political and military careers, as a Catholic-conservative professor of political science, a member of the Christian Social Union political party, and as a Bundeswehr reservist. In 1962, Heydte was involved in the Spiegel scandal. Early life
<mask> joined the Reichswehr in April 1925. In 1927, he was released from military service to attend Innsbruck University, receiving a degree in economics. In 1927, <mask> was awarded his degree in law at Graz University. He joined the NSDAP on 1 May 1933, obtaining membership number 2.134.193.He entered the SA the same year. In 1935 <mask> re-joined the Reichswehr where he attended staff training. World War II
Heydte took part in the invasion of Poland and the Battle of France as a junior commander. In May 1940, he was transferred to Luftwaffe's parachute arm; he commanded a battalion during the Battle of Crete in May 1941. In July 1942 Heydte was sent to Libya as commander of the Fallschirm-Lehrbataillon, part of the Ramcke Parachute Brigade. Heydte was an officer in the Ramcke Brigade in North Africa until February 1943 when he and several other officers were transferred to France to form the nucleus of the new 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division under command of major-general H.B. Ramcke.He was posted as an operations officer in the divisional HQ. After the fall of Sicily during the summer of 1943, the Germans grew wary of a potential Italian defection to the Allies. To counter this event the 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division was transferred from France to Rome on 6 August. Heydte gained audience with Pope Pius XII and befriended the Pope's "Throne Assistant", the theologian Alois Hudal, who would later become a key person in helping Nazi war criminals evade the courts of justice during the post-war war-crime trials. The division participated in taking Rome under German

 control as part of the German Operation Achse. Heydte was given command of a regiment of the 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division in January 1944. By the time of Operation Overlord, the 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment had been detached to the 91st Luftlande Infantry Division.<mask>'s unit took part in the Battle of Carentan, Operation Lüttich, and in fighting against the Allied forces in Operation Market Garden. Operation Stösser

Prior to the  Ardennes Offensive, the Germans planned Operation Stösser to drop paratroopers behind the American lines  north of Malmédy and to seize a key crossroads leading to Antwerp. To conceal the plans from the Allies and preserve secrecy, <mask> wasn't allowed to use his own, experienced troops. Most of the new paratroops had little training. The Luftwaffe assembled 112 Ju 52 transport planes; they were manned by inexperienced pilots. It was the German paratroopers' only nighttime drop during World War II. While the aircraft took off with around 1,300 paratroops, the pilots dropped some behind the German front lines, others over Bonn, and only a few hundred in widely scattered locations behind the American lines.Some aircraft landed with their troops still on board. Only a fraction of the force landed near the intended drop zone. The  was tasked with dropping at night onto a strategic road junction 11 kilometers north of Malmédy and to hold it for approximately twenty-four hours until relieved by the 12th SS Panzer Division, with the aim of hampering the flow of Allied reinforcements and supplies. The planes that were relatively close to the intended drop zone were buffeted by strong winds that deflected many paratroopers and made their landings far rougher. Since many of the German paratroopers were very inexperienced, some were crippled upon impact and died where they fell. Some of their bodies were found the following spring as the snow melted. Heydte broke his arm upon landing from his jump.Initially, only 125 men made it to the correct landing zone, with no heavy weapons. By noon on 17

 December, <mask>'s unit had scouted the woods and rounded up a total of around 300 troops. With only enough ammunition for a single fight, the force was too small to take the crossroads on its own. But because of the dispersal of the drop, German paratroops were reported all over the Ardennes, and the Allies believed a division-sized jump had taken place. This caused much confusion and convinced them to allocate men to secure the rear instead of facing the main German thrust at the front. Because all his radios had been destroyed or lost in the jump, Heydte didn't know the 12th SS Panzer Division failed to defeat the Americans at the Battle of Elsenborn Ridge, and was unable to relieve his forces. Cut off, without supplies and pursued by the U.S. forces, Heydte ordered his men to break through Allied lines and reach the German lines.Heydte arrived in Monschau on 21 December and surrendered on 23 December. He was held as a prisoner of war in England until July 1947. Post-war career
After his release as a POW, <mask> returned to his academic career, completing his dissertation in 1950. In 1951, he became professor of constitutional and international law at the University of Mainz. From 1954 he served as Professor of International Law, General Administrative Law, German and Bavarian State Law and Political Science at the University of Würzburg. He also headed the Institute for Military Law at University of Würzburg. From 1956 to 1971 he was a member of the Institut de Droit International.From 1961 to 1965 he served as a member of the board of the German Society for International Law. Parallel to his academic occupation, Heydte resumed his military career with the West German ; in 1962 he was promoted to Brigadier General in the Reserves, and in 1967 he retired, concluding 30 years of military service. In 1947 Heydte joined the Christian Social Union (CSU), where he was chairman of the Christian Democratic Higher Education Association. From 1966 to 1970 he was a member of the constituency for Lower Franconia at the

 Bavarian Parliament. He was also a member of the Committee on Cultural Policy issues and in 1967, he joined the Bavarian State Office for Political Education and the State Compensation Office. He was a supporter of the theological ideas of natural law and as a conservative Christian he supported the Catholic Church's principles of justice. Controversies

Flick affair
In 1985, Heydte became one of the central figures in the Flick affair, a serious party funding scandal in which Heydte allegedly had, as the director of the Würzburg Institute of Political Science and Policy Association for many years, helped to launder money for political donations to the CDU/CSU and FDP.He had to appear before the Federal Constitutional Court on the issue of party funding through tax-deferred contributions. Spiegel affair

In 1962, as head of the Institute for Military Law at University of Würzburg, Heydte challenged the weekly magazine Der Spiegel over an article it published claiming a "scandalous" state of affairs in the . Specifically, <mask> Heydte accused the editors of high treason because they had revealed the military weaknesses of the new  to the public and thus to the Soviets. Because of that accusation and Heydte's position as an expert in military law, the issue was brought to a federal court, triggering what was to be known as the Spiegel affair, with many arrests of journalists and others connected to that publication. The police raid on Der Spiegel was forcefully led by Theo Saevecke, the  at Sicherungsgruppe Bonn. Saevecke's wartime past was soon revealed. He had achieved the rank of  and served with SS-Einsatzgruppe IV in Poland (1939–40), the SS-Sicherheitsdienst in North Africa (1942–43) and commanded the Gestapo and Italian fascist police in Milano (1943–45).All these associations marked him as a potential war criminal. <mask>'s and Saevecke's conduct in the Spiegel affair caused a public outcry followed by demonstrations and public debates.
