<mask> (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1957) is an Argentine visual artist known for her multi-channel video installations. In Latin America she is considered a precursor in the area of expanded video. Her work is characterized by the crossing of materialities and technologies in which she uses both electronic devices and ancestral techniques. Her production is organized in thematic series of video installations, drawings, photographs or objects. Interested in revealing the metaphorical power of different materialities, she uses the electronic medium and the moving image to record stillness, the imminent and the subjective perception of time. Among other distinctions, in 2001 she received the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Konex Award, diploma of merit for the five-year period 1997-2001 and, in 2002, the Argentine Video Award at the Art Biennial of the National Museum of Fine Arts; in 2005, the video post-production residency grant from the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio. In 2006 and 2007, she was awarded third and second prize, respectively, at the  Salón Nacional de Artes Visuales in New Media and Installations.In 2012 he received again, the Konex Award diploma to the merit corresponding to the decade 2002-2012. She has represented Argentina in the Mercosur Biennial, Porto Alegre, 3rd and 5th editions, in the 8th Havana Biennial, and in Bienalsur 2019. Her work is part of national and international collections, both public and private. Among them the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art. Biography
In 1981 she graduates from the National School of Fine Arts "Prilidiano Pueyrredón" with a specialty in sculpture. At the same time, she trained with Kenneth Kemble, in whose workshop she worked as a drawing teacher, and with Víctor Grippo, whom she considers her main reference and with whom she reflects on materials and the power contained in them. In her beginnings she made paintings, drawings and objects, supports with which she


texts: would work throughout her career.In these works, Rivas incorporates diverse techniques and materials, such as photographic emulsion on stainless steel plates, interventions with resin, natural elements, glass and graphite. During this period, the circulation circuit of contemporary art in Buenos Aires was still dominated by the division into traditional disciplines, making his objects difficult to classify. From 1990 onwards, she incorporated video as an expressive medium to address the theme of time with greater precision. Her concerns about time and the human dimension lead her to problematize the medium and she begins to make audiovisual installations. In an interview the artist states:"The moving image started to become necessary to me around 1998, when I was working on a series of works on paper and steel with the idea of pointing out, through the image, a double characteristic of time: that of leaving traces and erasing them in the same action. I was interested in how this property operates on memory and objects. "Cuentas de vidrio, one of his first video installations, participates in the International Video Art show, at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1990, where he will later hold a solo exhibition of his objects.In 2000, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship with the project Notas sobre el tiempo (Notes on Time), which allowed him to mount a twelve-channel video installation at the Cronopios hall of the Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires in 2001, in the midst of the institutional explosion in Argentina. This exhibition, in which he conveys the urgency and cacophony of the social climate, is considered a turning point in his production. In an introductory text to Rivas' work, Eugenio Viola refers:"Since 2001, Silvia Rivas has developed an evident interest in time-based practices, which includes the relationship between video, the body, and the environment, as well as strategies related to the field of so-called "delegated performance", with all that it may imply for post-produced video. Over the years,


texts: Rivas has explored the characteristics of the state-of-the-art video technologies of the time and has developed a personal video-approach that makes extensive use of slow motion, extended playback, and accelerated sequence effects to investigate time and space. Looking at Rivas's work with hindsight, there is no doubt that she is a pioneer of experimentation with the "expanded" possibilities of video, in its qualities for both installation and ambience, and not only in Argentina, but also within the broader context of Latin America." During the economic and social crisis in Argentina, Rivas produces the work Llenos de esperanza in which the social problems can be read metaphorically from an existential point of view. The political commitment of the work is aligned with the premise of the 8th Havana Biennial, in which he participates in 2003.For this same work he received the Argentine Video Award at the Biennial of Art, National Museum of Fine Arts. In 2004 he mounted Todo lo de afuera at the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art. Recording the action of a group of adolescents at risk. The work explores the link between the subject, its relationship with the environment and with the other. At the same time, Rivas makes a series of portraits of young people taken as archetypes and returns to the theme of landscape in Pequeño acontecimiento-Paisaje a definir. The Río de la Plata and the horizon of the plains are shown as a poetic analogy to Argentine identity and history. In 2010, he presents Zumbido in the Contemporary Program of the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, with large projections and surround sound.This series deals with the condemnation to permanent action through scenes in which a woman and a swarm of flies interact. In 2014 he manages to exhibit the complete series at the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes Juan B. Castagnino in the city of Rosario, Argentina, generating a journey through several rooms, in which obsessive actions and rhythms follow one another. The set of drawings Odisea Invisible closes

 the tour. That same year, under this title, he made an intervention with graphite on the walls of Fundación Proa. In the following period, simultaneously with the filming of Momentum, she made small installations or assemblages with video, treating the landscape as an imaginary and artifice of Paradise. An example is the work of the artist: Igual el paraíso es nuestro. With a high-speed camera to achieve defined images of minimal instants, she records the performances for her series Momentum.Pieces from this series that include materials such as Carrara marble or porcelain, were shown in the exhibition Migraciones en el Arte contemporáneo at MUNTREF in the 2019 edition of Bienalsur and at RolfArt. In 2018's Fuerza Diagonal moves from subjective perception to a group perspective. The title of this series is inspired by Hannah Arendt's eponymous concept and refers to action with the other as a transformative possibility. She lives and works in Buenos Aires. She is represented by the galleries: RolfArt, Buenos Aires; and Diana Lowenstein, Miami. Work
Materials and their physical particularities occupy a prominent place in the work of Silvia Rivas traveling through different supports according to their metaphorical potential. She investigates the states of being, the condition of man as such.In the artist's vision, internally the subject only finds his power in an attitude of tenacious and constant resistance, firmly taken to his present. Since the nineties she has incorporated video and performance, spatially mounted, as a central medium in her artistic production. Interested in her ability to capture visual ideas rooted in time. Rivas' works explore situations where time materializes as an unavoidable presence. Her aesthetic questions the viewer, invites him to immerse himself in a universe of more or less constant realities, confronting him through her video installations with unfathomable dimensions of spatiality and temporality. In the words of Rodrigo Alonso:"His work also manifests a political commitment to each

 context of production and exhibition. In 2001 the economic, social and political crisis of the country changed the physiognomy of the environment.Its impact on people leaves painful traces, both for those who suffer it and for those who witness its atrocious consequences. In this context, the actions of the characters that populate Silvia Rivas' videos become less and less abstract. "Although Rivas often tries to relativize historical imprints in order to project her works towards the philosophical terrain, as the creative interrelationship progresses, some contexts begin to emerge that anchor the works definitively to a more defined community and/or epochal environment. The protagonism that the body is acquiring as the axis of some existential conflicts are becoming flesh when Rivas begins to work with performers, who, being taken as archetypes, provide a concrete and situated corporeality, as seen in Todo lo de Afuera (2004) or Fuerza diagonal (2018). In Zumbido (2010) he exacerbates the power of metaphor in that, he does not portray any existing reality outside the electronic framework. The flies represent something beyond them. With the title Pequeños paraísos ensamblados (2015), Rivas develops a series of small video installations, small edens to which we can aspire as urban dwellers, tiny, almost clandestine spaces, foreign to the experience of metropolitan life and its offers of electronic pleasure.The existential - and even metaphysical - concern deepens in the immediately subsequent works, when the human figure reappears as the guiding thread of poetic reflection: Momentum (2017), Fuerza diagonal (2018).

<mask> (March 23, 1913 – November 17, 1979) was a Puerto Rican professional boxer. Competing in the bantamweight division, he became Puerto Rico's first world champion. <mask> was born in Barceloneta and raised in San Juan. There he received his primary education and took interest in boxing. After gathering a record of 21–1–1 as an amateur, <mask> debuted as a professional in 1931 defeating Luis "Kid Dominican" Pérez by knockout. Early in his career, he moved to Venezuela due to the lack of opponents in his division. There he received an opportunity for the Venezuelan Bantamweight championship, but lost by points to Enrique Chaffardet.Subsequently, he moved to New York and began boxing in other states, eventually capturing the Montreal Athletic Commission World Bantamweight Title. In 1936, he defeated Tony Marino to unify this championship with the one recognized by the International Boxing Union, in the process becoming the third Latin American undisputed world boxing champion. After retiring, he worked as a spokesperson for beer companies in New York, before returning to Puerto Rico in the 1960s, where he resided until his death. He received several posthumous recognitions and his name was used in several sports venues and buildings. In 2002, <mask> was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Early life and amateur career

Early in his life, he moved to Tras Talleres in Santurce, a subsection of San Juan, Puerto Rico.There he received his elementary and secondary education, up until the seventh grade, when he decided to dedicate himself full-time to his sports career. In Tras Talleres, he began developing an interest in boxing and received instruction in said discipline. Although at this time, boxing was illegal in Puerto Rico; remote places such as a house's backyard or rooftops were used to organize clandestine fights

 without attracting attention from the local police. In 1928, a Puerto Rican boxer named Ángel "Sotito" Soto moved from New York to a house near the <mask> family's residence and established a gym in his backyard. There he gave boxing classes to <mask> and several other young athletes. After several months of instruction, Soto prepared a boxing card with included three-round fights, in which each round lasted two minutes. In this event, <mask> earned his first victory, defeating a pugilist identified as "Gombar" by knockout in the first round.After this match, <mask> continued fighting in clandestine gyms. He met and was received by Ignacio Peñagaricano, the owner of Victoria Gym. <mask> received his boxing license through Peñagaricano. On February 16, 1927, governor Horace Mann Towner legalized boxing and allowed the establishment of organized boxing matches. Professionals would fight Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays which, were considered the best days of the week, while amateurs could compete the remaining days of the week without limitations. As an amateur, he fought in 23 combats, gathering a record of 21 wins, one loss and a draw. His draw was against Ramón Rodríguez of San Lorenzo and his only loss was in the hands of Pedro Montañez from Cayey, in a fight that took place in March 1930.Professional career
<mask> turned professional on September 1, 1930, in a fight card organized at the Victory Garden gym in San Juan. In this event, he defeated Luis "Kid Dominican" Pérez, who entered the fight as the Dominican Republic's champion, by knockout in the third round. In Puerto Rico, <mask> fought in 15 contests, before moving to Venezuela after the popularity of professional boxing declined in his home country. This move was motivated by Roberto Andrade, who provided transportation to the country. In Venezuela, he fought in Caracas, competing against José Lugo, Sindulfo Díaz, Rafael "Moralito" Morales, Pica Pica and Simón Chávez among others. On

texts: November 11, 1931, <mask> competed against Enrique Chaffardet for the Venezuelan Bantamweight Title, but lost by decision. After 17 fights, he returned to Puerto Rico and competed in five cards.But professional boxing suffered another decline in interest, which forced <mask> to work as an accommodator in baseball games three days of the week, generally on weekends. In the meanwhile, Tony Rojas, a friend of his managers Gustavo Jiménez and Arturo Gigante, convinced them to release <mask> of the contract which bound them. Since <mask> turned professional while he was still legally a minor, his father had to sign the unbinding agreement. After succeeding in this task, Rojas presented <mask> with a steam boat ticket to New York, which covered his food, clothes and hotel expenses. <mask> reached New York in early 1934, intending to "obtain fame and honor" for "[his] motherland", there he was received by Rojas and professional trainer Whitey Bimstein. His first fight in the United States took place at the Valley Arena in Holyoke, Massachusetts on May 7, 1934. In this contest he was paired against Canadian bantamweight titleholder Bobby Leitham, defeating him by technical knockout in the seventh round.<mask>'s manager, Lou Brix and his trainer recognized that <mask> could be close to a championship fight once the incumbent, Panamian Alfonso Teófilo Brown, refused to defend the championship against the first contender, which led to it being stripped by the National Boxing Association (NBA). A rematch was then organized against Leitham. This was an eliminatory card organized by the Montreal Athletic Commission, which was to determine a contender for their vacant Bantamweight World Championship, against first contender Baby Casanova, who attended the card. After scoring three knockdowns in the fourth round, <mask> connected another punch that injured Leitham, after which Leitham's manager surrendered the fight. This marked Leitham's last fight.

 this result, the NBA immediately called for a fight between <mask> and Casanova. By this time he had gained a reputation as a quick and technical boxer, capable of gathering quick knockouts with body punches if confronted by an unprepared opponent.The fight took place on June 26, 1934, and it was organized in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. <mask> scored a knockdown in the third round; the fight concluded in the ninth round when Casanova lost by knockout. With this win, <mask> won the Montreal Athletic Commission World Bantamweight Title, thus becoming the first Puerto Rican to win a world boxing championship title. This had a significant impact on Puerto Rico, where it was constantly discussed by the general public. Songs, decimas and poetry were written about this accomplishment. However, the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) and International Boxing Union (IBU) of France didn't recognize the outcome of this fight, conserving Tony Marino and Brown as their recognized champions. Undisputed world bantamweight title
On August 8, 1934, he defeated Eugene Hart by points in a non-title match organized in Canada.This was the first time in his career that <mask> completed a 15-round contest. After this event, he stayed in Montreal expecting to fight against the winner of a matchup between Louis Salica and Bobby Quintana, which was scheduled to take place on December of that year. However, <mask> was forced to cancel his plans after suffering a heel injury when he was hit by a car. He spent a month in inactivity while recovering, and in the winter he returned to Puerto Rico. The governor ordered to have all government buildings closed so that public employees could attend a welcoming ceremony. The event, which took place in Old San Juan's dock, was followed by a parade. Upon arriving in Barceloneta, <mask> was recognized as a "predilect son" of that municipality by the city's mayor, which was followed by a week of festivities in his name.<mask>

 pursued a fight with Brown, but his offers were refused while the Panamanian pugilist promoted a campaign protesting the removal of his recognition as champion, demanding to be reinstated. On August 7, 1935, <mask> defeated Pete Sanstol—who once held, in 1931, the Canadian Boxing Federation and Montreal Athletic Commission (MAC) world bantamweight titles—by unanimous decision in 12 rounds. However, <mask> still wasn't considered the division's Undisputed Champion because Balthazar Sangchili had defeated Panama Al Brown and was recognized by the IBU. Due to this, Sanstol sent a letter to the NYSAC noting that the fight was of eliminatory nature, even though it was recognized as a titular contest by the NBA and MAC. Wanting to be recognized as such, <mask> pursued a title unification fight against Tony Marino, who had defeated Sangchili by knockout in his previous fight. He won the fight by knockout in the tenth round, receiving the "undisputed world champion"
distinction. On November 13, 1935, <mask> became the first Puerto Rican to win a title fight in the first round, defeating "Indian" Quintana by knockout.This outcome made it possible to organize a fight against Louis Salica, it was the first time that <mask> fought a title fight in Puerto Rico. The card was promoted by Arturo Gigante and Gustavo Jiménez Sicardó. <mask> won the fight by unanimous decision, while Jack Dempsey served as referee. He participated in Mike Jacobs's "Carnival of Champions" on September 23, 1937 and lost the title to Harry Jeffra by unanimous decision. Shortly after, he recovered from this loss and he returned to the gym; he defeated Johnny Defoe in a preparatory contest. On February 20, 1938, <mask> faced Jeffra in a rematch organized at the El Escambrón baseball park in Puerta de Tierra. He won the contest by unanimous decision, scoring three knockdowns.This became an early example of fights that attracted the attention and criticism of boxing analysts,

 particularly those in New York. On April 2, 1939, <mask> defeated Kayo Morgan before a sold-out crowd of 15,000 at the Estadio Sixto Escobar, which had been inaugurated three years earlier. After this fight, he received The Ring Bantamweight Championship, which was presented by the magazine's editor, Nat Fleischer. Later in 1939, <mask> received a draft notice from the United States Army, ordering him to take a physical exam for possible military service. He and his manager presented the issue to the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission, managing to receive a postponement of two months before surrendering his title. On April 6, 1940, <mask> fought Simón Chávez for ten rounds in what ended as a draw. <mask> then fought some short non-title fights, of which he lost four, all by points.On December 2, 1940, <mask> participated in his last professional fight, losing to a ten-round decision to Harry Jeffra. Throughout his career <mask> avoided being knocked down or out in any fight, all of his losses being by decision. In April 1941, he was drafted to the United States Army and participated in World War II. Retirement, death and legacy

After his military service, <mask> confronted problems to meet the bantamweight's limit and retired. He became a spokesman for a liquor brand and relocated to New York temporally, with his family. Subsequently, he returned to Puerto Rico where he worked selling liquor in bars. In May 1947, <mask> and Jiménez Sicardó co-promoted a fight with the intention of bringing fans back to boxing.In the main event, Diego Sosa was matched against Francisco Colón García. <mask> was inducted into the Madison Square Garden's Boxing Hall of Fame in 1950. <mask> continued in his job as a liquor salesperson, during which it was common for liquor salesmen to drink a little bit of the product which they sold in front of potential customers.

<mask>'Mahony (9 June 1850 – 31 October 1930), known up to 1901 as <mask>, and from 1912 also as The O'Mahony of Kerry, was an Irish Protestant nationalist politician and philanthropist, who practised as a barrister from 1898 to 1900. He was remarkable in having had successively three names, two wives and three faiths, and for being honoured by the Kings of two opposing countries in World War I. He should not be confused with his grandfather <mask> (1792–1853), a close associate of Daniel O'Connell who was elected as MP for Kinsale in 1837 but unseated on petition; or with his son <mask> (1878–1914). Early life
Born in Dublin to a Church of Ireland family, Mahony was the only surviving son of Peirce Kenifeck Mahony of Kilmorna, Duagh, County Kerry, and of Jane, daughter of Robert Gun Cuninghame, D.L., of Mount Kennedy, County Wicklow. His grandfather was <mask>, Repeal MP for Kinsale. His father died shortly after he was born. When he was six his mother married Col. William Henry Vicars, and the family moved to Leamington, Warwickshire.Mahony was educated at Rugby School and at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he did not take a degree, but established an Irish Home Rule club and formed a friendship with his later Parliamentary colleague J. G. Swift MacNeill. Mahony went on to the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, where he won the Haygarth Gold Medal in 1875. In 1877 he married Helen Louise, only daughter of Maurice Collis, a member of the Royal Irish Academy. She died in 1899 and in 1901 he married a first cousin, Alice Johnstone, who died

 in her turn in 1906. An ancient stone cross taken (with permission) from the Bulgarian monastery at Bansko stands over Alice's grave in the church cemetery at Ballinure in West Wicklow, Ireland. In 1913, his son Dermot O’Mahony married Grace Hill. Mahony was an Assistant Land Commissioner 1881–84, a magistrate in County Kerry and County Limerick, Poor Law Guardian at Listowel, a member of the Roads and Piers Commission under the Relief of Distress Act 1886, and a member of the Royal Commission on Market Rights and Tolls.Irish nationalism
He was elected unopposed as Member of Parliament (MP) for North Meath in the July 1886 general election, taking his seat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. When the Irish Parliamentary Party split over <mask> Parnell's leadership in 1890, Mahony was one of the four Protestant MPs who supported Parnell. The two remained close, with Mahony entertaining Parnell in Kerry shortly before the latter's death in 1891. At the general election of 1892, Mahony was defeated in North Meath by the prominent land campaigner Michael Davitt, who had taken a particularly strong and clericalist line against Parnell from early in the crisis, by 54% to 46%. This general election was characterised by ferocious hostility to the Parnellites on the part of the Catholic Church. Mahony successfully petitioned the courts to set aside the result on the basis of clerical intimidation of the voters. In the re-run election in February 1893, Davitt did not stand, having been elected unopposed to a vacancy

The Times reported that "the priests...swarmed at all the polling stations, and kept the voters constantly in view". Mahony again lost, by the fractionally smaller margin of 53% to 47%. Mahony remained active in the Nationalist movement, and made three further unsuccessful attempts to return to Parliament. He stood as Parnellite candidate for Dublin St Stephen's Green at a by-election in September 1895 but failed to unseat the Liberal Unionist member, William Kenny. He contested another by-election for Dublin Harbour in 1915, but came well short of election with 24% of the vote. In the general election of 1918 he fought West Wicklow for the Irish Parliamentary Party but lost to the Sinn Féin candidate Robert Barton by the particularly wide margin of more than four to one.Later career
In 1898 Mahony was called to the Irish bar, and subsequently practised as a barrister. In 1900 he inherited an estate from an uncle and thereafter did not need paid work, instead devoting himself to philanthropy. In 1903 O’Mahony travelled to Bulgaria to undertake relief work among orphans who had fled from Turkish massacres during the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising, and in 1904 opened St Patrick's Orphanage in Sofia. On the outbreak of World War I in 1914, he unsuccessfully tried to prevent Bulgaria entering alliance with Germany, and after the war argued for Bulgaria to be exempted from war reparations. On 20 January 1915, he was awarded the Order of Civil Merit by Ferdinand I of

During the First World War he served as a member of the Irish Recruiting Council for Irish regiments, and in September 1915 visited the Leinster Regiment with some members of the Irish League who were visiting the front, where he made a long speech on Ireland and on having such a fine battalion.For his recruiting work he was awarded a CBE in 1920, but declined it. Later in the year and resigned as Deputy Lieutenant of County Wicklow and as a magistrate in protest against British policy in the Irish War of Independence then in progress. While in Bulgaria, O’Mahony had joined the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, but he remained also a member of the Church of Ireland until 1927 when a new Rector forced him to choose between the religions. He then became a Catholic, in 1929, the year before his death. In commemoration of his relationship with the Bulgarian Orthodox church, in 1909, <mask> commissioned a fresco by Iliev Gannin, depicting Saints Methodius, Cyril and Patrick. This unique juxtaposition of important Christian saints can be found in the chapel at the monastery of St Nicholas near the town of Maglizh in Bulgaria. Some say St Patrick looks quite like <mask>'Mahony.His son Dermot O'Mahony was a Cumann na nGaedheal and Fine Gael member of the Dáil Éireann for Wicklow from 1927 to 1938.

He was named a cardinal in 1969. <mask> previously served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York from 1965 to 1967. Nine years after his death, <mask> was designated a Servant of God, the first step in the process that may lead to beatification and then canonization as a saint. Early life and education

His parents were both from County Galway, Ireland, and named their son after <mask>, the Lord Mayor of Cork who died on a hunger strike during the Irish War of Independence.<mask> worked as a chauffeur and construction worker.

Auxiliary Bishop of New York
On September 15, 1965, Pope Paul VI appointed <mask> as an auxiliary bishop of the  Archdiocese of New York and titular bishop of Summa. He received his episcopal consecration on December 13 1965 from Cardinal Spellman at St. Patrick's Cathedral, with Archbishops Joseph McGucken and John Maguire serving as co-consecrators.<mask> selected as his episcopal motto: Fiat Voluntas Tua, meaning, "Thy Will Be Done" from Luke 1:38. <mask> played a prominent role in arranging Pope Paul's visit to New York in October 1965, and became Vicar General of the Archdiocese two days after his consecration, on December 15, 1965. He was diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic leukemia, a form of cancer, that year as well. Archbishop of New York
Following Spellman's death in December 1967, Pope Paul named <mask> as the seventh Archbishop of New York on March 2, 1968. Pope Paul's selection of <mask> came as a surprise; likely contenders for the post included Fulton J. Sheen, a television personality and Bishop of Rochester; and Archbishop Maguire, who had been Spellman's coadjutor but did not hold the right to succession. In addition to his duties in New York, <mask> was named Vicar Apostolic for the U.S. Military on April 4 1968 and was installed in both positions at St. Patrick's Cathedral. That same day as <mask>'s installation, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, leading to a nationwide wave of riots in more than 100 cities.<mask> went to

On January 20, 1969, <mask> delivered the benediction at the inauguration of President Richard Nixon. <mask> helped implement the reforms of the Second Vatican Council in the archdiocese, and adopted a more collegial management style than his predecessor Spellman. Pope Paul VI appointed him as Cardinal-Priest of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Rome (the traditional titular church of the New York archbishops starting in 1946) in the consistory of April 28, 1969. At the time of his elevation, <mask> was the second-youngest member of the College of Cardinals after Cardinal Alfred Bengsch, who was six months younger. <mask> was theologically conservative but progressive in secular matters.During his tenure as archbishop, <mask> founded the Birthright organization, which provides counseling and other support for pregnant women; the Inner-City Scholarship Fund, which provides financial aid for Catholic-school students; an Archdiocesan Housing Development Program, providing housing to New York's disadvantaged; Catholic New York, the archdiocesan newspaper; and nine nursing homes.

In late August 1983, he announced his illness to the public, saying that he was expected to live for a few more months but would not resign his post. In an open letter completed only days before his death, he wrote, "The gift of life, God's special gift, is no less beautiful when it is accompanied by illness or weakness, hunger or poverty, mental or physical handicaps, loneliness or old age."On October 6, 1983, <mask> died from leukemia at age 62 at his episcopal residence in Manhattan, New York City. He is interred in the crypt under the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Views
Relations with the Soviet Union: An anti-Communist, he opposed the majority of his fellow bishops when he spoke out against nuclear disarmament in 1982. He once stated that deterrence was not satisfactory or safe, but could be considered morally "tolerable". During a 1968 Central Park anti-war rally by Coretta Scott King he organized a small counter demonstration in support of the Vietnam War. Abortion: He was an outspoken opponent of abortion, which he called the "slaughter of the innocent unborn", and once served as chairman of the USCCB's Pro-Life Committee. Homosexuality: He initiated the formation of Courage International, a ministry that promotes chastity for gay and lesbian Catholics.Church movements: <mask> supported the Cursillo Movement, Christian Family Movement, and Charismatic Renewal, and was instrumental in bringing the Missionaries of Charity to New York.

 supporter of the IRA. Grace Kelly: <mask> once described Grace Kelly as "a lesson in Catholic motherhood". Cause for canonization
Soon after <mask> died in 1983, a movement emerged to canonize him as a saint. In 1984, with the support of <mask>'s successor, Archbishop (and future cardinal) John Joseph O'Connor, the Cardinal Cooke Guild was established. In 1992, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints officially designated <mask> as a Servant of God, the first step in the process that leads to beatification and then canonization as a saint.On April 14, 2010, the Guild and senior American clergy presented Pope Benedict XVI with the positio, the documentation of the cardinal's life, work, and virtues. The document was then filed with the Congregation for Causes, to be examined by theologians. If the document is approved, <mask> will receive the title of Venerable, the second step leading to sainthood. Father Benedict Groeschel was the postulator for the cause while it was in its initial stages in New York. After the process was accepted by the Holy See, Andrea Ambrosi served as postulator until his retirement in 2021. He was replaced by Dr. Angelica Ambrosi. As of January 22, 2022, the canonization process is still ongoing.Other recognitions
On April 5, 1984, President Ronald Reagan posthumously awarded <mask> the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1988, he posthumously received the F. Sadlier Dinger Award from the publisher William H. Sadlier, Inc., for his contributions to religious education. During his years as archbishop, <mask> received honorary degrees from at least four Catholic colleges: College of New Rochelle (1968), College of Mount Saint Vincent (1968), Boston College (1969), and Marymount Manhattan College (1978).

<mask> was born in Woodhouse, Leeds to <mask>, a leatherworker, and Annie Eliza (Mountain) <mask>. Her mother, Annie, at a very young age worked at a mill until her older sister offered her a position as an assistant. <mask> had four siblings; a baby and eldest sister died within a year of each other due to pneumonia when <mask> was seven, and the other two, Annie Gatenby and James Arthur, survived to adulthood. After qualifying as a teacher in her native Leeds, teaching at Hough Lane School in Bramley, Gawthorpe became a socialist and was active in the local branch of the National Union of Teachers. She joined the Independent Labour Party and in 1906, became secretary of the newly formed Women's Labour League.She became involved in the women's suffrage movement and, in 1905, joined the Women's Social and Political Union. In 1906, she left teaching to become a full-time, paid organiser for the WSPU in Leeds. Sylvia Pankhurst came to Leicester in 1907 and joined Alice Hawkins who made introductions. They were joined by <mask> and they established a WSPU presence in Leicester. <mask> was an active member of Leeds Arts Club, having been introduced to the club by her journalist boyfriend. She had a close friendship with Alfred Orage who was a fellow primary school teacher in Leeds. In her autobiography, Gawthorpe describes the quiet reading space and group meetings of the club, which shared premises with the Fabian Society and the Theosophic Society.Members often crossed over, and <mask>

The Club encouraged women to participate in debates, described by Gawthorpe as bringing 'a new art reality into consciousness'. She later joined Christabel Pankhurst in Wales, where she drew upon her working-class background and involvement in the labour movement. At the meeting in Wales, organised by Samuel Evans, who was standing for reelection to Parliament, <mask>, in perfect Welsh, worried Evans by putting questions to him in his own language at his own meetings. The chairman at the meeting started the Welsh National Anthem, but <mask> turned this to her advantage by leading the singing in her rich voice which "won the hearts of the people still more". In the spring of 1907, she organised an open-air meeting during the Rutland by-election campaign. While standing on a wagon in Uppingham – accompanied by several other women – a crowd of "noisy youths began to throw up peppermint 'bull's eyes' and other hard-boiled sweets".Undeterred by the rowdy children, due in part to her time as a schoolteacher, she retorted, "Sweets to the sweet", with a smile on her face and continued her argument until a pot-egg thrown from the crowd hit her on the head and she fell unconscious. She was carried away but returned the next day, like a "true Suffragette", undaunted. Sylvia Pankhurst wrote that the "incident and her plucky spirit, made her the heroine of the Election". Gawthorpe also  campaigned with Jessie Stephenson and Nellie Martel in the 1907 Jarrow by-election. <mask> also spoke at national events, including a rally in Hyde Park in 1908 attended by

In October 1906, she was arrested following a demonstration at the House of Commons because she refused to be bound over to keep the peace and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment.After being released from prison, <mask> was arrested for another House of Commons demonstration in February 1907 and was "badly knocked about and could not appear at court". The case was dismissed the following month. Several months later, in November 1907, she was arrested, this time with Dora Marsden and Rona Robinson at Manchester University, due to asking Lord Morley about the imprisoned women at Birmingham. The three women were ejected from Lord Morley's meeting and were violently arrested by the police. In January 1910 on polling day in Southport, Gawthorpe together with fellow suffragettes Dora Marsden and Mabel Capper, were the subject of a violent assault while demonstrating at the polling booths. In February, the three suffragettes brought charges against three men for assault. The charges were dismissed by the magistrates.Outside the court, police intervened in hostilities that arose between supporters of the defendants and those of the three appellants. In February 1912 <mask> broke a window at the Home Office in protest at the imprisonment and brutal treatment of suffragist William Ball. She demanded to be imprisoned, however the magistrate discharged her medical grounds. With Dora Marsden, <mask> was co-editor of the radical periodical The Freewoman: A Weekly

<mask>-<mask>-<mask>lon, comte de Lacépède or La Cépède (; 26 December 17566 October 1825) was a French naturalist and an active freemason. He is known for his contribution to the Comte de Buffon's great work, the Histoire Naturelle. Biography

<mask> was born at Agen in Guienne. His education was carefully conducted by his father, and the early perusal of Buffon's Natural History (Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière) awakened his interest in that branch of study, which absorbed his chief attention. His leisure he devoted to music, in which, besides becoming a good performer on the piano and organ, he acquired considerable mastery of composition, two of his operas (which were never published) meeting with the high approval of Gluck; in 1781–1785 he also brought out in two volumes his Poétique de la musique. Meantime he wrote two treatises, Essai sur l'électricité (1781) and Physique générale et particulière (1782–1784), which gained him the friendship of Buffon, who in 1785 appointed him subdemonstrator in the Jardin du Roi, and proposed that he continue Buffon's Histoire naturelle. This continuation was published under the titles Histoire naturelle des quadrupèdes ovipares et des serpents.Tome premier (1788) and Histoire naturelle des serpents. Tome second (1789). After the French Revolution <mask> became a member of the Legislative Assembly, but during the Reign of Terror he left Paris, his life having become endangered by his disapproval of the massacres. When the Jardin du Roi was reorganised as the Jardin des Plantes and as the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793, Lacépède was appointed to the chair allocated to the study

 of reptiles and fishes. In 1798, he published the first volume of Histoire naturelle des poissons, the fifth volume appearing in 1803, and in 1804 appeared his Histoire des cétacées. From this period until his death the part he took in politics prevented him making any further contribution of importance to science. In 1799, he became a senator, in 1801 president of the senate (a role he also fulfilled in 1807–08 and 1811–13), in 1803 grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor, in 1804 minister of state, and at the Bourbon Restoration in 1819 he was created a peer of France.He died at Épinay-sur-Seine. During the latter part of his life he wrote Histoire générale physique et civile de l'Europe, published posthumously in 18 volumes, 1826. He was elected perpetual secretary of the French Academy of Sciences at the Institute of France in 1796, a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1806 and a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1812. Lacépède was initiated into freemasonry at 22 years old at Les Neuf Sœurs lodge in Paris, by Jérôme Lalande the worshipfull master himself, who wanted a naturalist for his prestigious lodge. In 1785, Lacépède created his own lodge : "Les Frères Initiés". After the Revolution, he helped Cambacérès to rebuild a French freemasonry submitted to the Emperor, and joined "Saint-Napoléon" lodge where General Kellermann was worshipfull master. He finished his masonic life as dignitary of the Suprême Conseil de France.Evolution

Lacépède was an early evolutionary thinker. He argued for the transmutation of species. He believed that species change over time and may go extinct from geological cataclysms or become


texts:
 "metamorphosed" into new species. In his book Histoire naturelle des poissons, he wrote:

"The species can undergo such a large number of modifications in its forms and qualities, that without losing its vital capacity, it may be, by its latest conformation and properties, farther removed from its original state than from a different species: it is in that case metamorphosed into a new species." Tributes

 Lacepede Bay in South Australia, and the Lacepede Islands off the northern coast of Western Australia, are named after him. The street Rue Lacepede near the Jardin des Plantes and the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris was named after him. A species of gecko endemic to Mauritius, Phelsuma cepediana, is named in his honour.Works

<mask> IV is a New Zealand television and radio broadcaster who has worked for Radio New Zealand and TVNZ and from 2008 has been the weekday breakfast host on Newstalk ZB with "The <mask>sking Breakfast". He is a supporter of the centre-right National party and is often openly critical of the Labour-led government. He has lived and worked as a broadcaster in Wellington, Christchurch and currently resides in Auckland. The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) has received several complaints against Hosking. In 2016 Andrew Judd, the Mayor of New Plymouth, was unsuccessful with his complaint that Hosking's comments related to a local issue were racist, but in 2017, a complaint by the Māori Party alleging he made misleading comments about who was eligible to enrol in  Māori electorates was successful. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the BSA also upheld a complaint that Hosking's comments about death rates for Coronavirus breached the Radio Code of Broadcasting Practice. Early life
Hosking grew up in Christchurch, living in the suburbs of St Albans, Mairehau and Linwood, and attending St Albans Primary School, Mairehau Primary School and Linwood High School.Career

After leaving school at 16, Hosking wrote to Radio Avon and Radio Windy looking for work, and gained a job as a copywriter at Radio Windy. He worked on the Radio New Zealand nationwide network in the early 1990s hosting The Tonight Show nationwide, with a music and talkback format. He then went on to co-host Morning Report on National Radio with Geoff Robinson. After this he moved to Newstalk ZB, where he has hosted the breakfast show since 2008, following the retirement of Paul Holmes. Hosking first joined TVNZ in 1997, when it began its Breakfast show. He was then axed from the show in 2004. He made his return to television in 2008 when he filled in on TVNZ's Close Up programme.He hosted the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? New Zealand, which began in September 2008 on TV ONE. In 2014, he and Toni Street joined Jesse Mulligan on the

 Seven Sharp panel for the show's second season. Hosking and Street left Seven Sharp at the end of 2017. In November 2020 he was named one of the best dressed men in show business on David Hartnell MNZM's Best Dressed List. Personal life
In 1989, Hosking married Marie Angela <mask>, and, in June 2001, she gave birth to twins Ruby and Bella. They parted in August 2002.In 2003, they were involved in a court case against Pacific Magazines, that involved photos taken by tabloid journalist Simon Runting in December 2002 of Marie and her two daughters. The case in question Hosking v Runting lead to the creation of the tort of privacy in New Zealand common law. In 2012, Hosking married fellow broadcaster Kate Hawkesby. She has three children from her previous marriage

Politics and business interests

In an interview with North & South in 1990, Hosking described himself as "a money person, I’m a capitalist. I’m to the right of Roger Douglas." In 2012, Hosking was revealed to have received $48,000 in payments and perks from SkyCity Auckland Casino for doing regular work for them, while still working as presenter for TVNZ. During controversy over proposed taxpayer subsidies for Sky City building a national convention centre, Hosking wrote in defence of the subsidy, describing the convention centre as an "aspirational investment".In 2013, he was the master of ceremonies at Prime Minister John Key's state of the nation speech, which he also endorsed. Hosking rejects the scientific consensus on climate change, stating on Seven Sharp that he doesn't believe in the IPCC report. In 2015, Hosking was accused of overt political bias by NZ First leader Winston Peters and Labour leader Andrew Little, a claim strongly denied by Hosking and Prime Minister John Key. During the 2017 election campaign, Hosking was appointed moderator of one of the televised leader debates, and was again accused of political bias by much of the New Zealand public. This led to a petition for his replacement being widely circulated, and collecting


texts:
 over 75,000 signatures. Debate host and organisers TVNZ responded that it would not placate the petition signers, and affirmed that it will keep him on as moderator. Controversy

In 2016 the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) received complaints about comments by Hosking critical of New Plymouth Mayor Andrew Judd who resigned from office following abuse Judd received for proposing a Māori ward on the local district council.Complaints referred to racism implicit in Hosking's remarks. The BSA did not uphold the complaints, noting that the Seven Sharp presenters regularly give their opinion on issues, and the outspoken and opinionated presenting style of Mr Hosking is well known to viewers. The BSA believed that overall Mr Judd was not unfairly treated and his comments balanced Hosking's view. On 23 August 2017, a month before New Zealand's general Parliamentary election, Hosking asserted that only those enrolled in a Māori electorate were able to vote for the Māori Party. He said “…you can’t vote for the Māori Party because you’re not enrolled in the Māori electorate”. Members of the Māori Party and the general public criticised his statement as being misleading. The Māori Party lodged formal complaints with broadcaster TVNZ and the Electoral Commission over Hosking's comments.Hosking made further comment the following night saying, “The fact that anyone can vote for [the Māori Party] as a list party I automatically assumed we all knew given we have been doing this for 20 years… and it went without saying. So hopefully that clears all of that up.”

The Māori Party complaint was referred to the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) which upheld the complaint. The BSA ruled Hosking breached its accuracy standard when he said to his co-presenter, "…you can't vote for the Māori Party because you're not enrolled in the Māori electorate". The comment was made on 23 August, just under a month out from the 2017 general election. The BSA found Hosking's comment could have misled voters. The BSA found that the


texts:
 potential harm caused by this broadcast, in leaving viewers misinformed about their ability to vote for the Māori Party, outweighed the broadcaster's right to freedom of expression. The BSA consider that Mr Hosking's statement during broadcast on 23 August 2017 was inaccurate and misleading, and that the clarification subsequently provided was confusing and insufficient to correct the inaccuracy.This was an important issue, particularly during the election period, and had the potential to significantly affect voters’ understanding of the Māori roll and of New Zealand's electoral system. The results of the 2017 general election saw the Māori Party lose its electorate seat. It also failed to meet or exceed the five percent voting threshold needed for election and the Party lost its representation in Parliament. Coronavirus pandemic

On 6 April 2020, Hosking made comments about COVID-19 death rates, stating that deaths were much the same as during the flu season two years ago and claimed that "almost everybody in Italy said to have died of Covid-19 had in fact died 'with the virus' – but not 'of it'." A complaint about his comments was made to the Broadcasting Standards Authority. It was upheld and the ruling, recorded on 14 September 2020, summarised that "Mr Hosking’s comments about people with underlying health conditions and Italy’s death-rate statistics breached the accuracy and discrimination and denigration standards of the Radio Code of Broadcasting Practice". The BSA noted that "Mr Hosking did not consider or acknowledge the possibility that [these people] may have died a lot sooner than they might otherwise have, due to contracting Covid-19,” [and that] "the broadcast had the potential to mislead listeners about the facts behind Mr Hosking’s relatively strong views critiquing the Government’s measures to manage the impact of Covid-19.”

<mask> (Serbian Cyrillic: Ивица Краљ, ; born 26 March 1973) is a Montenegrin former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is the current president of Serbian club Partizan. During his playing career, <mask> was best known for his time at Partizan, having three spells at the club and winning five major trophies. He also played for Porto and PSV, but made less of an impact. At international level, <mask> represented FR Yugoslavia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000, reaching the knockout stage in both tournaments. Club career

Partizan
Born in Kotor and raised in Tivat, Kralj started out at his local club Arsenal Tivat, before joining Partizan as a trainee in the summer of 1987. He broke into their first team at the age of 16, sitting on the bench during a 4–5 away loss to Celtic in the second leg of the European Cup Winners' Cup first round on 27 September 1989.In order to gain experience, <mask> was later sent out on loan to Zvezdara (1992–93) and Jastrebac Niš (1993–94), before returning to Partizan. He made his league debut for the club in the 1995–96 season, as they won the championship title. In the 1996–97 campaign, Partizan won their second consecutive title, as <mask> became the club's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper and earned his first national team cap. He also won the FR Yugoslavia Cup in the 1997–98 season, before going abroad. Porto
In the summer of 1998, <mask> moved to Portugal and signed with Porto. He initially established himself as the club's first-choice goalkeeper, helping them win the Supertaça on 9 September 1998. However, following Vítor Baía's return to Porto in the 1999 winter transfer window, <mask> completely lost his place in the starting lineup.He was subsequently loaned to Radnički Kragujevac until the end of the 1998–99 season.

 window, <mask> was transferred to Dutch club PSV. He featured in the UEFA Champions League of that year where PSV suffered a 1–4 defeat to Rangers in the group stage. Shortly after, <mask> suffered a hamstring injury, ruling him out for five months. He returned to action in April 2000, but was mainly a backup to Ronald Waterreus and Patrick Lodewijks, as the club convincingly won the domestic league in his debut season at Philips Stadion. After failing to make any appearances in the first half of the 2000–01 season, <mask> was loaned to his former club Partizan in January 2001. He added one more national cup trophy to his collection, despite not getting any game time in the competition.After returning to PSV, <mask> was the club's third-choice goalkeeper behind Waterreus and Lodewijks. He eventually left the club by mutual consent in 2002. Return to Partizan
In June 2003, <mask> made another return to Partizan, signing a one-year deal. He quickly found his form and helped the team qualify for the Champions League in the 2003–04 campaign, saving two penalties in the shootout against Newcastle United at St James' Park in the final qualifying round. However, <mask> failed to make any appearances in the group stage due to an injury. He eventually signed a three-year extension to his contract with Partizan in May 2004. After recovering from injury, <mask> was a first team regular, helping his team win the league title in 2005, with an unbeaten record.He left the club at the end of his contract, stating his disappointment towards some members of the club's board. Rostov
In August 2007, <mask> moved to Russia as a free agent and signed with Rostov. He was joined by his former teammate Albert Nađ. However, <mask> failed to make any competitive appearance for the club, as they suffered relegation from the top flight after

In July 2008, <mask> moved to Slovak club Spartak Trnava, signed by his former manager Vladimir Vermezović, on a two-year deal. He agreed to leave the club in late 2009, due to his chronic injury problems, eventually retiring from the game.International career
<mask> made his international debut for FR Yugoslavia on 28 December 1996, coming on as a late second-half substitute for Zvonko Milojević in a 3–2 friendly win away to Argentina. He subsequently became the first-choice goalkeeper for the national team under Slobodan Santrač, helping them to qualify for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. In the final tournament, <mask> played the full 90 minutes in all of his team's four games, as they were eliminated by the Netherlands in the knockout stage. Despite not playing regularly at club level, <mask> was named by Vujadin Boškov in Yugoslavia's final UEFA Euro 2000 squad. <mask> chose the number 22 instead of the number 1 that he wore at the 1998 World Cup, expressing an affinity for higher numbers. They went on to reach the quarter-finals of the competition, where the team was eliminated by the Netherlands. The hosts achieved a convincing 6–1 victory, including a hat-trick by Patrick Kluivert and a brace by Marc Overmars.In June 2001, after a one-year absence from the national team, <mask> was selected to represent his country at the Kirin Cup. He made his last appearance for FR Yugoslavia in a 1–1 home draw with Slovenia on 5 September 2001, as the country failed to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He has earned a total of 41 caps, scoring no goals. Post-playing career

<mask> (December 13, 1945 in La Plata, Argentina) is a doctor of vascular radiology at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He studied at the National University of La Plata in Argentina, earning his medical degree in 1971. He then practiced vascular radiology at the San Martin University Hospital in La Plata before moving to the University of Texas Health and Science Center at San Antonio. He is known for inventing the balloon-expandable stent, for which he received a patent filed in 1985. It was recognized in Intellectual Property International Magazine as one of "Ten Patents that Changed the World" in the last century. His early stent research artifacts are now part of the medical collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He continues to innovate on his initial designs, developing new endovascular devices.Education and career
<mask> was born in December 13, 1945, in La Plata, Argentina; <mask>'s parents were of Italian descent, his father worked as a bus driver. <mask> received his M.D. in 1971 from the National University of La Plata, Argentina. He joined the San Martin University Hospital in La Plata to practice vascular radiology in 1974. He moved with his family to the United States in 1977 and spent three years training in radiology at the University of California at Davis' Martinez Veterans Administration Medical Center. He has worked as Chief of Angiography and Special Procedures in the radiology department at the University of Texas Health and Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) since 1983. He currently holds the Ashbel Smith Professorship as a tenured Professor at UTHSCSA.In 2019, Palmaz was part of a team awarded the Russ Prize "for innovations in medical devices that enable minimally invasive angioplasty treatment of advanced coronary artery disease." Palmaz-Schatz Stent

Background
Coronary artery disease is a condition in which the blood vessels to the

 heart become clogged. It often leads to heart attacks and is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Beginning in the mid-1960s, the leading treatment consisted of invasive bypass surgery, in which a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body is grafted onto the coronary artery, forming a detour around the afflicted region. Due to the high cost and risk of this procedure, an alternative was in high demand. In 1977, Andreas Gruentzig performed the first successful percutaneous coronary angioplasty. In this procedure, a catheter attached to a small balloon is inserted into the afflicted artery.The balloon is subsequently expanded, compressing the accumulated plaque to allow increased blood flow. This was a substantial improvement over bypass surgery in terms of invasiveness, but unfortunately restenosis, a recurrence of arterial clogging, occurred in nearly 50% of patients after the balloon was removed. Conception
<mask> got the idea for his stent after listening to a lecture by Gruentzig at a conference in New Orleans in 1978. He had an idea then to put a scaffold of sorts inside the vessels, to hold them open and keep them from occluding. He wrote up his ideas in a manuscript – which became important later as a proof of conception – and started to work on prototypes. He began by sticking pins into a pencil and weaving wire around them, but the structure did not maintain form as it was compressed. He then soldered the wires at their junctions, achieving the desired plasticity; however this required two separate metals, which was undesirable for medical use.His solution was inspired by a metal lathe with a structure of staggered openings that a mason had left in his garage: cutting holes in metal tubing would create a collapsible structure that would remain rigid once expanded. Development
Palmaz succeeded in creating a model that he was able to test in animals, including pigs and


texts:
 rabbits, with promising results; he also began shopping the device around to medical companies, but the response was lukewarm. In 1983, Dr. Stewart Reuter, Chair of Radiology at UTHSCSA and a mentor to Palmaz, encouraged him to accept a position at the center. Palmaz did so, in part because there he would have access to resources he needed to further his stent development. He eventually succeeded in creating a prototype of a stainless steel, insertable mesh stent that could be expanded once inside the body to hold a blood vessel or artery open and allow blood to flow more freely. He also secured funding from a somewhat unlikely partner: Phil Romano, an entrepreneur who founded restaurant chains such as Fuddruckers and The Macaroni Grill, offered to put up $250,000 in exchange for a stake in the product, which Palmaz began co-developing with Dr. Richard Schatz, a cardiologist at Brooke Army Medical Center. Commercial Success
The trio, calling themselves the Expandable Graft Partnership, patented the stent technology in 1985 and presented it to a variety of large companies.Those firms included Boston Scientific, which passed on the technology; and Johnson & Johnson, which eventually licensed the stent technology for some $10 million plus royalties. With Johnson & Johnson behind it, and with an additional $100 million invested in its development, the Palmaz stent was approved for use in peripheral arteries in 1991, followed by approval for use in coronary arteries in 1994; Johnson & Johnson quickly captured 90 percent of the market for stents and bought the patent outright from Palmaz, Schatz and Romano in 1998. Litigation
Palmaz stent patents were the subject of fierce legal battles brought by Johnson and Johnson against several companies manufacturing stents. After 12 years of litigation, the District Court of Delaware ruled in favor of Johnson and Johnson, declaring that the Palmaz patents had been infringed.


texts:
 The damages awarded for the Palmaz patents were the largest ever in patent litigation history. Medical Impact
Within four years of its FDA approval, the balloon-expandable stent was used in over 80% of percutaneous coronary interventions, a virtually unparalleled success. Currently approximately one million stents are implanted annually worldwide.The balloon angioplasty augmented with the use of the stent has become the preferred treatment for atherosclerosis. However, the stent has not completely done away with restenosis after angioplasty, and improved procedures continue to be sought. The drug-eluting stent, which releases chemicals that inhibit restenosis, has shown marked success and seems to be replacing the bare-metal stent in America, though Europeans have resisted the change due to the expense. Business Ventures
Palmaz formed Advanced Bio Prosthetic Surfaces (ABPS) in 1999, with Christopher Banas, as a private R&D enterprise to develop advanced biomaterials for implantable medical devices. In early 2008, Dr. <mask>, Steve Solomon, and other principals, along with private investors formed Palmaz Scientific to acquire thin-film and related intellectual property, equipment, employees and related assets from Nitinol Development (NDC), a Johnson & Johnson / Cordis company which has licensed ABPS technology. The company, which operates out of Dallas, will design, manufacture and sell implantable bio prosthetic devices. Palmaz also created the largest wine cave in Napa Valley, Palmaz Vineyards.It is entirely gravity operated. Personal life
<mask> is married to fellow Argentine Amalia <mask> and has two children, Florencia and Christian. He lives in San Antonio and Napa, and enjoys collecting vintage Porsches. He owns the famous Porsche 917-023, the car that earned Porsche its first victory at Le Mans in 1970. His son <mask> owns and flies a 2015 Bell 429 Global Ranger N665PV. References
