Johanna (<mask><mask> (née von Caemmerer; 12 February 1914 – 14 November 1971) was a German-born mathematician who worked on group theory. Biography

<mask> was born on 12 February 1914 in Lankwitz, Steglitz-Zehlendorf (today a district of Berlin), Germany. She was the youngest of three children of Hermann and Katharina von Caemmerer. As a result of her father's death in the first days of the First World War, the family income was small, and from the age of thirteen she was coaching school children. After two years at a private school she entered the Auguste-Viktoria-Schule, a girls' grammar school (Realgymnasium), in 1922. She graduated in early 1932 and then entered the University of Berlin. The lecture courses in mathematics that she took in her first year were: Introduction to Higher Mathematics given by Georg Feigl; Analytical Geometry and Projective Geometry both given by Ludwig Bieberbach, Differential and Integral Calculus given by Erhard Schmidt, and the Theory of Numbers given by Friedrich Schur.She also took formal courses in physics, and attended lectures in psychology, literature and law. As a result of her first year work, <mask> was awarded three-quarters' remission of fees and a position as a part-time assistant in the Mathematical Institute's library. A friendship between <mask> and <mask> began in January 1933. In March 1933, the Nazis came to power and in August 1933, Bernhard, who was Jewish, moved to Cambridge, England. She visited Bernhard in London at Easter 1934 and they became secretly engaged. After this she returned to Germany to continue her studies. In her second year <mask> was part of a group of students who tried to prevent Nazi disruption of Jewish academics' lectures by ensuring that only genuine students attended.She lost her job in the Mathematical Institute, presumably as a result of such activities. However she had by then been awarded, and continued to earn for the rest of her course, full remission of fees. In the

 remainder of her undergraduate degree, she studied mathematics, physics and philosophy. She completed her studies in 1936 with distinctions in the Staatsexamen in mathematics and physics. She began studying for her Ph.D. at the University of Göttingen in 1937, under the supervision of Helmut Hasse. During this time Bernhard and <mask> corresponded anonymously through friends, and were only able to meet once, in Denmark in 1936 when Bernhard was travelling to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Oslo. In July 1938, <mask> moved to England.She married Bernhard in December 1938 in Cardiff. They went on to have five children. The <mask>s moved to Oxford in 1940. <mask> completed her D Phil. in group theory at the Society of Oxford Home-Students in 1944 under Olga Taussky-Todd. Her thesis was entitled 'Sub-group Structure of Free Products of Groups with an Amalgamated Subgroup'. The University of Oxford later awarded her a D.Sc.for her publications. Following her naturalisation as a British citizen, she took a teaching position at the University of Hull in 1946. From 1958 she took up a lecturing post at the Mathematics Department of Manchester College of Science and Technology (later to become UMIST). In 1961-1962 the <mask>s spent a year at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. The <mask>s moved to Australia in August 1963 to take academic positions at the Australian National University in Canberra. She was made chair of pure mathematics in 1964 and was dean of students between 1968 and 1969. She died from a cerebral aneurysm while on a lecture tour in Ottawa, Ontario.A building at the Australian National University was named in her honour in 1973. Four of her five children became mathematicians including Peter M<mask>. Research and publications

Her most widely known work "Varieties of Groups" was published in 1967. It has been translated into Russian. She published 34 articles, most in international journals. <mask> and her husband

At the time of her appointment, the Department at ANU had recently started an  honours programme in mathematics and were looking for a relatively senior pure mathematician to be responsible for that aspect of the courses.<mask> began organizing courses which would show the students something of mathematics as she saw it. She was able to introduce into the first year course, which had till then been entirely problem-oriented, a small strand of one lecture a week of an introduction to mathematics in the style of Feigl-Rohrbach. The later-year algebra courses much more thoroughly reflected her own interests and views. She continued to develop a style of teaching which aimed at making the acquisition of very abstract ideas accessible through judicious use of more concrete examples and well-graded exercises. <mask> supervised 10 doctoral students and has 51 descendants.

Elected at the LWF 12th Assembly in Windhoek, Namibia 13 May 2017, Archbishop <mask> is the 13th president and second from Africa to head Lutheran World Federation's highest authority established in 1947 to oversee the church with about 72 million members in 147 countries. After his election, he led a delegation of seven Regional Vice-presidents to meet Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church to strengthen relationship between the two churches. Archbishop <mask> told the Catholic pontiff that the past 50 years of improved relationship in worship had seen a departure “from conflict to communion”. Pope Francis who had in 2015 participated in the Lutheran Church 500th anniversary of reformation in Sweden urged LWF delegation to continue on the road of reconciliation to full unity. In 2002, <mask> was the area secretary for Africa in the Department for Mission and Development (DMD) working with several churches under Mission Africa until 2010, when he was elevated to the position of Director of DMD. He was consecrated the first bishop of his local diocese of Mayo Belwa in Nigeria's north east state of Adamawa in 2013 after its creation at the peak of violent campaign against Christians by Islamist extremist Boko Haram that led to a forced closure of several churches in the area.In 2016, he was elected the Archbishop of the Nigeria church. Archbishop <mask> is noted for his humility, sympathy for the poor, commitment to interfaith relationship and peace, gender equality and spartan life style. For instance,  in spite being the leader of the Lutheran World Federation, <mask> still maintains his small cathedral residence in Numan, north east Nigeria where  there are frequent clashes between sedentary farmers and nomadic herders. In November 2017, dozens were reportedly killed in the area in a clash between farmers and herders but Filibus choose to stay

 helping victims of the attacks. His life style is a sharp contrast to many Nigerian clergy men who live in opulence flaunting private jets. Humanitarian work
Archbishop  <mask> is recognised as a strong voice against modern day slavery, human trafficking, irregular migration, oppression and injustice of all forms which is rife in his home country Nigeria and other African countries and helping those on the margin of society, weak and tired without a voice find voice and hope. In 2017 he led a joint effort of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria, LCCN and Lutheran World Federation, LWF to found a non-governmental organization – Symbols of Hope whose focal objective is to create awareness against human trafficking and irregular migration especially of Nigerians traveling through Sahara Desert crossing Mediterranean Sea en-route Europe under inhuman conditions.Extreme poverty and internal conflict are cited as key factors that increase vulnerability to trafficking in Nigeria. Ranked 32 out of 167 countries according to the 2018 Global Slavery Index, Nigeria remains a source of transit and destination country for human trafficking. In August 2019, Archbishop <mask> launched interfaith network to bring people of different faith together to help victims of modern-day slavery find hope and confidence for the future. Development of the church in Nigeria
Archbishop <mask> in February 2019 saw the need for the LCCN to have a standard media to serve its information needs, thus started Reformation Tabloid – a monthly publication of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria to help spread the gospel through the print. The Newspaper was publicly unveiled by Nigerian Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo at the 2019 annual convention of the church in Demsa, Adawama state of Nigeria. At the same convention he flagged off the building of LCCN mega convention ground after obtaining approval from the government of Adamawa State.

 Nigeria.Archbishop Filibus in 2019 told a large gathering of LCCN  that he was leading efforts to establish a University known as  the Lutheran University of Nigeria (LUN) in Adamawa state, "to produce people with integrity, that would govern the country in future". Climate change campaign
Archbishop <mask> is a climate change campaigner and desert encroachment ravaging northern Nigeria- an agriculture-heavy region. Filibus has often said the issue of climate change and desertification  is very important to him and the Lutheran church and often  uses the pulpit to enlighten locals on the impact of  illegal logging, bush burning, use of woods as source of energy for domestic cooking on the environment while teaching  them to adopt climate friendly activities such as planting of trees to protect the environment. During the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria, LCCN 2019 annual convention, Filibus in a major speech called on Nigerian government senior officials which included the vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Secretary to the government of Nigeria, Boss Mustapha and Jubrila Bindow the governor of north eastern state of Adamawa  who were present at the convention to convey the climate message to Nigerian government to speed  up action against climate change and desertification in northern Nigeria to ease hardship. The economy of northern Nigeria largely depends on agriculture but many of them are peasant farmers and herders  who have increasingly watched as their farmlands are encroached by desert, and  crops and pastures get dried up causing more hardship to people who are already impoverished. Lake Chad which provides a source of livelihood to hundreds  of  agrarian communities has shrunk by 90 percent, going from 25,000 km2 in 1963 to less than 1,500 km2 in 2001. Climate change has been partly blamed for farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria due to struggle over diminishing land resources.References

<mask>, <mask> or <mask>, formerly incorrectly called <mask> (Vicenza, 1603 – Venice, 8 September 1678) was a versatile Italian painter who worked in many genres and created altarpieces, portraits, genre scenes and grotesques. He also created pastiches of the work of leading Italian painters of the 16th century. He designed cartoons for mosaics and worked as an art restorer. <mask> was also sought after as an art expert and did expert valuations of artworks. He worked most of his life in Venice and its environs except for a brief stay in Rome. Life

The life of <mask> is not very well documented and the information available is not always reliable. He is believed to have been born in Vicenza in 1603 as the son of <mask>, who was a painter admitted to the Venetian painters guild.Some art historians place the artist's place of birth in Venice. <mask> <mask> was erroneously called <mask> after Luigi Lanzi in the first edition of his Storia pittorica della Italia (1796), mixed up the artist's name with that of a Muttoni collection, which kept one of his paintings. Later authors interpreted de la Vecchia (meaning 'of the old') as a nickname as the artist liked to imitate the old masters of the previous century. <mask> was in fact a scion of a well-known Venetian family called 'Dalla Vecchia'. Early sources describe Alessandro Varotari, called il Padovanino, as his teacher. On stylistic grounds some art historians have expressed doubt on this traineeship in his early years. The influence of the works of Padovanino is only visible after 1635.So he may have worked with Padovanino at a later stage. His earliest known work show a strong influence by Carlo Saraceni and Saraceni's pupil and collaborator Jean Leclerc. This is an important indication that <mask> trained with them. As his work displayed for some time certain Caravaggesque characteristics it is believed that he spent time in Rome

texts: after the departure of Leclerc from Venice in 1621 or 1622. <mask> probably worked in Padovanino's workshop after his return from Rome in 1625 or 1626. Padovanino, whose style was strongly rooted in early-16th-century Venetian art, likely played an important role in instilling in <mask>chia a great interest in 16th-century painting in Venice and the Veneto. The first documents in which the name of della Vecchia appears date back to the period from December 1626 to January 1628.The documents deal with the payment for a banner the artist had made for the Confraternity of the Carmelites in the church of S. Marco in Pordenone. From 1629 to 1640 he was a member of the guild of painters in Venice. In 1626 he married Clorinda Régnier (or Clorinda Renieri), a daughter of the Flemish painter Nicolas Régnier (or Renieri). Clorinda Régnier was a painter in her own right and has been described as "a woman of great spirit, of great stature and of great adherence" (Tommaso Temanza, 1738). Lucrezia Régnier, the elder sister of <mask>'s wife was married to Daniel van den Dyck, a Flemish painter active in Northern Italy. <mask>, together with his brother-in-law Daniel van den Dyck and their respective spouses, painted wall decorations in the Palazzo Pesaro in Preganziol. Towards the end of the 1630s <mask> had established his name as one of the leading painters of Venice, especially of religious works.In January 1640 the procurators of S. Marco de Supra, responsible for the decoration of St Mark's Basilica, commissioned from him two cartoons for mosaics. These appear to have been well received as <mask> was subsequently appointed Venice's "pitor ducal" (painter to the duke), a position he held until 1674, that is, until four years before his death. In this capacity he was responsible for the design of the new mosaics and the restoration of the old ones in the Basilica. <mask> also received a

 commission to restore Giorgione's Castelfranco Madonna altarpiece in 1643-1644. At the height of his career, <mask> was a very sought-after teacher with a large workshop employing many assistants. <mask> also opened an academy in his house where live drawing classes were organised. Gregorio Lazzarini was one of his pupils probably shortly after 1667.Gregorio Lazzarini was later the teacher of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. <mask> also taught classes on the theory of art. <mask> enjoyed fame as a connoisseur of ancient drawings and paintings. Especially during the latter part of his life he was repeatedly consulted by collectors and merchants, often together with his father-in-law Nicolas Régnier. Both he and his father-in-law had business relations with Paolo del Sera, who was the art agent in Venice of Leopoldo de' Medici, an Italian cardinal, scholar, patron of the arts and the Governor of Siena. Marco Boschini, an engraver, art dealer and author who was a great admirer of <mask>, often joined the artist when he was asked to value paintings after 1670. <mask> was close to the humanistic and libertine circle around the Accademia degli Incogniti (Academy of the Unknowns), a learned society of freethinking intellectuals, mainly noblemen, that significantly influenced the cultural and political life of mid-17th-century Venice.Many of the subjects of his works were a reflection of the intellectual occupations of this influential Venetian society. For instance the charged eroticism in the Young couple is likely linked to the libertine attitudes of the Accademia. His son Gasparo Prospero was born on 8 May 1653 and became a minor painter, musician, music theoretician and mathematician. <mask> <mask> also had four daughters one of whom died young. <mask> died on 8 September 1678 in Venice and was buried in the church of S. Canciano. Work

He relied on the assistance of a large workshop, which explains his large output as well as the fact that many of his works are known in multiple versions.He dated his religious paintings but not his other works, which makes it difficult to understand the evolution of the artist in these other genres. During his career the artist worked in a variety of artistic styles and absorbed many influences including from contemporary artists as well as artists from the previous century. He combined in his work the monumentality of the 16th century Venetian art of artists such as Titian and Tintoretto with the dramatic effects of the style of the Caravaggisti. In line with the Venetian Baroque his works tend to push the sentiments of the depicted figures to the extreme. This penchant for exaggeration, even the grotesque, was central to <mask>'s mature style and was influential on other artists. The artist developed a unique style, which was characterised by its pursuit of artistic virtuosity, and often depicted subject matter which was unusual and esoteric. These feature explains the high demand for his work by the more discerning Venetian collectors of his time.His earliest known works include two representations of Saint Francis, which display clear Caravaggesque tendencies. Some paintings of this early period show an affinity with those of an anonymous artist likely of French origin, the so-called Candelight Master, who can perhaps be identified with Trophime Bigot. It is assumed that during his presumed stay in Rome from 1621/2 to 1626 he may have been in contact with French followers of Caravaggio active in Rome such as Trophime Bigot and Claude Vignon. The first dated work by <mask>chia is the Calvary in the church of San Lio in Venice, and is dated 1633:  It still shows the influence of Carlo Saraceni

This is apparent in the Angel Offering a Skull to St Giustina, who stands between St Joseph and St John (1640, Accademia, Venice) painted for the church of San Giustina. From 1640 to 1673 he painted designs for some the mosaic depictions inside the St. Mark's Basilica.A development towards greater drama was visible after 1650. The works of that time draw again on the Caravaggesque models he followed at the start of his career. The apex of this evolution is apparent in the two remaining works of the cycle of seven paintings that the artist executed between 1664 and 1674 for the second cloister of the Jesuit church in Venice. The paintings represent the Conversion of Francis Borgia (Musée des beaux-arts de Brest) and Marco Gussoni in the Ferrara lazaretto (location unknown). The macabre themes, the effects of spectral lights and the suffocating lack of space in the compositions are unique in Venetian painting of the seventeenth century, comparable only with the morbid paintings of the Milanese or Neapolitan schools. After this cycle his later paintings appear without inspiration and derivative from the painter's earlier works. Of greater interest are some historical paintings of this period, which show in the bold brushstrokes and the bright and dazzling palette the influence of the leading 17th-century Venetian painter Francesco Maffei, who died in 1660.Other works of his later period show the influence of Giambattista Langetti and the group of tenebrosi active in Venice around 1660. <mask> had a notable interest in Venetian masters including Titian and Giorgione. This interest was likely nurtured during a stay as an assistant in the workshop of Padovanino. For his skill in imitating the works of Giorgione, his friend Marco Boschini coined for him the nickname 'simia da


texts: Zorzon', meaning 'ape of Giorgione'. Giorgione was called Zorzon in the Venetian dialect. According to Boschini, <mask> abused of his skill in imitating the older Venetian masters. Boschini recounts that when the art dealer Francesca Fontana was assembling a collection for Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici he was given a 'Giorgione self-portrait'.This portrait was actually an imitation by <mask> painted from his own features. When the deceit was discovered, <mask> claimed he was solely trying to emulate Giorgione and that he had produced the work 30 years earlier for his father-in-law Nicolas Régnier. Nicolas Régnier, who  was not only a painter but also an art dealer, had sold the painting. Thirty years later, it was believed that the work was in fact a genuine Giorgione. It appears therefore that <mask>'s imitations could very well be regarded in certain cases as attempts to pass off the imitations as originals. His friend Boschini regarded these imitations, often executed in a remarkably ingenious manner, as displays of virtuosity. Other artists whose works <mask> and his workshop regularly imitated included Titian, Romanino, Palma Vecchio, Paris Bordone and Jacopo Bassano.His imitations of Giorgione offer an important insight into the manner in which that artist's work was perceived in the 17th century. It is believed that none of <mask>'s works in the style of Giorgione were based on now lost compositions of Giorgione but were 'original' creations in the style of Giorgione. <mask> was known for his paintings of soldiers (referred to as 'bravi') with broad feathered hats of which he made many versions and variations. Some of these paintings depict individual soldiers while others show soldiers in genre scenes such as fortune telling, playing dice etc. The innumerable repetitions of these works depicting warriors and other popular figures created by his workshop had a negative impact

 on his posthumous reputation. <mask> painted not only imaginary portraits of bravos, but also of philosophers, pages and courtesans. These portraits are an expression of the Venetian Baroque's taste for eccentric subject matter.They also represent the artist's reaction to the expressive head portraits (tronies) by Caravaggio and Rembrandt. There are about eight pictures by <mask>chia in which the landscape is the primary subject. These include four idyllic landscapes that presage the Rococo style (now in the Pinacoteca Querini-Stampalia) and the Rocky Landscape with Warriors in the Hermitage. Two further landscapes were auctioned at Dorotheum on 20 October 2015 as lot 279. These latter works are executed in a painterly technique, reminiscent of the 'picturesque' style of late 16th-century artists Titian and Jacopo Bassano. The two compositions likely do not depict a particular story, but are rather an evocation of a romanticised wild countryside, frequented by intrepid warriors wearing fantastic costumes. <mask> maintained close links with the members of the Accademia degli Incogniti.Their philosophical occupations were reflected in the iconography of some of his paintings of the 1650s and 1660s. In some works he treated the mathematical, philosophical and cabalistic ideas in a serious manner and in others he ridiculed them through salacious images. For example in the Allegory of architecture (1654, Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti di Bergamo), which depicts a half-naked woman crouched over a book on a ledge with an old man and another half-naked woman seeming to beseech her, he gives expression to some of those ideas.

<mask> (born 10 July 1970) is an English former footballer who played as a striker. In a career spanning fourteen years he made 293 appearances in the Football League, scoring 86 goals. He played for numerous clubs and was transferred for some big money moves; totalling around £2 million. Arguably his most successful period came at Port Vale and Bradford City in the late 1990s. He helped Vale to their highest post-war finish in the league, whilst he helped Bradford win promotion into the Premier League. Playing career
Born in Mexborough, <mask> started his career with Stocksbridge Park Steels before being brought to the Football League with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Derby County. In July 1995, he joined John Rudge's Port Vale as Derby paid £475,000 plus <mask> in exchange for Robin van der Laan.He made his debut for the "Valiants" as a substitute on 13 August 1995, in a goalless draw with Derby at The Baseball Ground. At the end of the season Derby were promoted, but Vale were to finish in twelfth spot. On 13 October 1996, he came off the bench at the Victoria Ground to score a last minute equaliser in a Potteries derby game with Stoke City. He finished the  1996–97 season with fifteen goals and was handed the club's player of the year award as the club posted their highest post-war finish – eighth place in the First Division. During the 1997–98 season <mask> was the club's top scorer with 16 goals, as Vale narrowly avoiding relegation. <mask> became Bradford City's first £1 million player when Paul Jewell purchased him in preparation for the 1998–99 season. <mask> made a large contribution to Bradford's promotion to

The 1999–2000 season was a poor one for <mask>, scoring just six goals he was troubled with injury and had a falling out with manager Paul Jewell. He spent March 2000 on loan with First Division Manchester City. His poor form left him labelled as a "forgotten man" when he scored twice in the 2000 UEFA Intertoto Cup against Lithuanian side FK Atlantas. New manager Chris Hutchings put <mask> on a list of seven "underachievers", with a warning that a continuation of poor form would see those players released. Hutchings' reign would last only a further four months. However, in that time Hutchings had sold <mask> to Portsmouth for a club-record £1.25 million, to make way for Ashley Ward.Pompey later struggled to pay the fee and were put on a transfer embargo by the FA. He scored five goals in 27 games during the 2000–01 season. He played just two games the following season before a one-month loan to Coventry City in December 2001 soon turned into a £250,000 move at the end of the year. He aimed to fire the "Sky Blues" to the play-offs, though the season ended with Coventry occupying 11th spot. By some measure of irony he played at Fratton Park in a Portsmouth shirt, Graham Barber having deemed both Coventry strips were too similar to Pompey's home strip forced the side to borrow Portsmouth's orange away strip. In July 2001 he broke his arm in a "freak" training ground incident, this came after

He came back later in the season with "a bang", <mask> saying: "I've come in and done OK and let's hope that continues."He was soon battling with an ankle injury, choosing to take injections to avoid time on the sidelines. In February 2003, following a one-month loan with Tony Pulis' Stoke City, where John Rudge was now Director of Football, he signed for the "Potters" on a permanent basis. The next month he was involved in a traffic collision on the M6 motorway and escaped with only minor injuries. In July 2003 he signed with Telford United. Manager Mick Jones was clearly delighted with the capture, stating: "I don't want to put too much pressure on <mask> but I am hopeful he might have the same kind of impact as Alan Shearer had when he moved from Blackburn to Newcastle". After eleven goals in thirty games, <mask> tore his ankle ligaments during a training accident, keeping him out of action for three months. Following the collapse of Telford United there was a race to <mask>' signature, which was eventually won by Hereford United.Graham Turner having signed <mask>, Mark Robinson and Jonathan Gould, looked to improve upon 2003–04's second-place finish, which saw the "Bulls" agonizingly close to automatic promotion to the Football League. Nine league goals from <mask> in the 2004–05 season could not help United catch runaway champions Barnet, for a second consecutive season they crashed out in the play-off semi-finals.

<mask> (1893 – 14 January 1944) was an Indian barrister, Congressman, linguist and scholar from Rajkot in the Kathiawar district of British India. He is known for his role in the Indian non-cooperation movement, and for translating the Sanskrit texts Mudrarakshasa, Ṛtusaṃhāra and Kalhana's Rajatarangini into English. He was the husband of <mask>, the son-in-law of Motilal Nehru, brother-in-law of Jawaharlal Nehru and father of Nayantara Sahgal. Until 1926, he was a barrister in Calcutta, a position he resigned to join the Indian non-cooperation movement. In 1930, he was the Secretary of the Peshawar Enquiry Committee, which investigated the troubles in the North West Frontier Province. Later, he was appointed a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh (UP). <mask> died in 1944, shortly after being released from his fourth imprisonment by the British.Early life and education
<mask> <mask> <mask> was born in 1893, to the wealthy British-educated lawyer <mask> <mask>, in Rajkot in the Kathiawar district of British India. His ancestors came from Bambuli village in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra and his family consisted of a number of lawyers and Sanskrit scholars. Amongst his siblings was a brother, Pratap, and two sisters, Ramabai and Tarabai. He was a linguist and spoke eleven languages, including Hindi, Persian, Bengali, English, French and German, and like his father, he studied law in England. Prior to entering the Middle Temple, he attended Christ Church, University of Oxford. He had also attended the Sorbonne University and the University of Heidelberg.

 daughter, read Pandit's article published in Modern Review titled "At the Feet of the Guru". Desai was then secretary to Mahatma Gandhi, who was a family friend to the Pandits in Kathiawar. <mask> and Sarup Nehru were subsequently introduced to each other and he proposed to her the following day, writing in one note that "I have come many miles and crossed many bridges to come to you—but in the future you and I must cross our bridges hand in hand". On 10 May 1921, the anniversary of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, they married, upon which, she adopted the name Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit. With the Nehrus now involved in the Indian non-cooperation movement and in boycotting British goods, the wedding was the last event in the Nehru household "approaching opulence at Anand Bhavan". Their first daughter, Vatsala, died at the age of nine months. Subsequently, they had three daughters; Chandralekha Mehta, Nayantara Sahgal and Rita Dar, born in 1924, 1927 and 1929 respectively.Non-cooperation movement

On 1 March 1926, <mask>, together with his wife Vijaya Lakshmi, his brother-in-law Jawaharlal Nehru, sister-in-law Kamala Nehru and niece Indira, sailed to Europe on the Lloyd liner Triestino. He returned with Vijaya Lakshmi the following November. Until this European trip, <mask> was a successful lawyer who practiced in what was then called Calcutta with Sir B. L. Mitter. Against the wishes of his family in Rajkot, he became a Satyagrahi and joined Mahatma Gandhi and Motilal Nehru in the Indian non-cooperation movement and settled in Allahabad, where he took up cases in the courts. Later, they moved to Khali, in the hills near Almora. When the Indian National Congress's 1928 proposal for Dominion status was rejected by the British, the party took a pledge of non-cooperation and demanded "complete independence". Vijaya Lakshmi later recorded in

Its report was published by Allahabad's Law Journal Press. In 1937, he was listed in The Indian Annual Register as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of United Provinces of Agra and Oudh (UP), to which he was elected along with Vijaya Lakshmi. He served several prison terms, including two prison sentences with Jawaharlal Nehru, one in Naini Central Jail in 1931 and another at Dehradun. His daughter, Nayantara, later described how she ate chocolate cake the day her father first went to prison. She later became a writer, and associating chocolate cake with prison, wrote a book titled Prison and Chocolate Cake. Translations
While in prison, <mask> translated into English Kalhana's Rajatarangini, the 12th century history of the kings of Kashmir, written in Sanskrit, and described the poem as one of "great scope, a more or less complete picture of society, in which the bloody periods of the past are delightfully relieved by delicate tales of love, by episodes of marvel and mystery and by interesting digressions which the author permits himself".The foreword to the translation was written by Jawaharlal Nehru. He translated from Sanskrit to English, the play Mudrarakshasa and in 1942 completed the translation of Ṛtusaṃhāra. Death
In 1943, he was reported to have had pneumonia, pleurisy and a heart attack in Bareilly Central Jail. Vijaya Lakshmi visited him, and later described how "it was a tremendous shock to see Ranjit brought in to the superintendent's office on a stretcher. His head had been shaved and he was

 emaciated and almost unrecognisable”. He had been arrested that year by British authorities and was serving his fourth term in prison. He died shortly after being released.On 18 January 1944, Nehru wrote to his daughter Indu, that he was informed that Pandit (Pupha to Indu) died in Lucknow on 14 January 1944, before the reformation of personal law which was completed after independence, leaving his widow to raise their three daughters without an inheritance. <mask>'s brother, Pratap, had frozen their assets. Author Katherine Frank wrote in her biography of Indira Gandhi, that <mask>'s death "was an unnecessary death directly attributable to the poor conditions and treatment he had received in jail. Winston Churchill was later reported by Pandit's widow, on a visit to England after independence of India, to have said to her that “we killed your husband didn't we”. Pandit's daughter, Nayantara, wrote in her biography of Nehru that her mother replied "no, every man lives only to his appointed hour" and Churchill replied "nobly spoken". Selected publications

<mask> (August 5, 1902 – January 11, 1971) was an American abstract artist, poet and philosopher who played a major role in the development of modernism in the United States. She is known for her work in the genres of geometric abstraction, abstract expressionism and lyrical abstraction, as well as her use of the principles of the Bauhaus school. Her paintings and writings were significantly influenced by the complex intellectual currents of the 20th century. Early life
<mask> was born <mask> on August 5, 1902 in Chelsea, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, the eldest of three sisters and one brother. Her sister <mask> was also a painter. During her career, she often gave her year of birth as 1907, which appears on some legal documents. She spent her childhood in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where she spent time reading and writing poetry.After her father died in 1918 she and her family moved to Brooklyn, New York. In 1922 she began working as a stenographer in an accountant's office to help support her family in the wake of her father's death. She briefly attended courses in fashion design at the Traphagen School of Fashion and night courses in literature at New York University, and began taking evening art classes at Manhattan's Washington Irving High School. She immersed herself in the bohemian world of Greenwich Village and had a brief affair with the poet and novelist Maxwell Bodenheim. Beginnings as an artist
In 1927, she enrolled in night art classes at the Art Students League in New York City. Among her instructors at the Art Students League were Jan Matulka and Richard Lahey. In her 1929 class Matulka provided <mask> with her first exposure to the artistic

 principles of the European avant-garde that would shape her work; most notably those of the Bauhaus, Cubism, and Constructivism (art).In 1931, she traveled to Europe and North Africa to further her painting studies, attending sessions at the Académie Moderne and studying with Amédée Ozenfant in Paris. She also spent time in Switzerland and Italy. After returning to New York she studied briefly with Hans Hofmann at the Art Students League. Her friends and colleagues were Burgoyne Diller, Dorothy Dehner, David Smith, Hilla Rebay, Arshile Gorky, John D. Graham, and Frederick Kiesler. The Design Laboratory
In 1935, <mask> helped found the Design Laboratory, a cooperative school of industrial design established under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration. The curriculum of the Design Laboratory was similar to that of the Bauhaus. All students were required to take a basic course that included an introduction to chemistry, physics, and art materials.Students experimented with materials in laboratories in order to understand their physical properties. There was an emphasis on social considerations, and students were taught the social implications of technological developments alongside classes in art, music, and literature. <mask> taught classes in painting, composition, and design synthesis. She continued teaching at the Design Laboratory when it lost its financial support from the Works Progress Administration on June 27 of 1937. On July 1, 1937 the Design Laboratory became part of the FAECT School, located at 114 E. 16th St. New York. When classes resumed on September 27 of 1937 the school was known as The Laboratory School of Industrial Design. She resigned her

<mask> painted throughout her life. Her paintings first gained recognition in the early 1930s, when she exhibited at the ACA Galleries and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. With the showcase at the Whitney, she became one of the first women (along with Loren <mask> and Georgia O'Keeffe) to be given a retrospective at a major New York museum. In the late 1930s, she started to move away from realistic work toward abstraction and experimented with painting on layered glass. In 1943, <mask> was included in Peggy Guggenheim's show Exhibition by 31 Women at the Art of This Century gallery in New York. In 1946, <mask> was included in the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition 1946:Fourteen Americans. During the latter part of her career, <mask> rejected abstract expressionism and experienced difficulties with gallery owners and museum directors.She believed that art and literature were being swallowed up in "a chaotic void of mindlessness." Eventually, she left New York permanently and moved to Spain. She died of emphysema on January 11, 1971, in Marbella, Spain. Style

<mask> was interested in exploring the role of the artist in society, believing artists to be on a par with industrialists. She created "machine paintings" that incorporated images of technological components, including ship's ventilators, generators, and funnels, as well as hinges, levers, and gears. Boat Composite from 1932, in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art is an example of her "machine paintings". <mask> began to explore abstraction in the late 1930s and her work included fewer references to machines.She became known for the geometric and

 rectilinear paintings created during this period. Abstraction from 1940, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, demonstrates her approach to geometric abstraction. She was interested in finding a way to bring light into her work, and began to incorporate materials such as glass, plastic, gold leaf, and other reflective materials into her paintings. She experimented with radium paint, layers of painted glass, and paint on parchment. In a 1950 statement, she said "My philosophy is the reality of light and space; an ever flowing--never-ceasing--continuity, unfettered by man made machinery, weight and external likenesses. I use geometric symbols because they represent structural essences and contain infinite possibilities of change and dynamics." <mask> signed her work as "I.<mask>," which caused many people to assume that she was a man. Cataloging of her works can be problematic as she frequently left works untitled and reused titles. Personal life
<mask> <mask>'s first husband was the commercial artist Humberto <mask>, a painter, whom she married in 1929. They divorced in 1938 and in 1941, she married George Wellington Brown, a naval architect who shared her interest in applying new materials to art. When this marriage ended in divorce, she married the Irish poet George Reavey in 1950; that marriage, too, ended in divorce in 1959. Writings
<mask> worked prolifically as a writer, but she never received the same acclaim in this area as she did in painting. She published her first article in 1944, titled An Abstract Painter on Abstract Art.Her writings included topics such as structure, time, optics, and space. Her self-published book The Lapis discussed her dreams about

Her words were written with power and this book proves it." Brenda M. Greene, professor and mother of recording artist Talib Kweli, said, "Donda and I were kindred spirits as sisters in the network of hip-hop mothers. She was an unsung leader who infused culture and 'knowledge of self' into the curriculum.Donda loved her students."

<mask> (born 1948) is an English singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer working in the American contemporary country music industry. Biography
<mask> was born in Hoylake, Cheshire (now Merseyside), England in 1948. In 1976, he was living in London and working in advertising when he first heard country music — particularly, the song "Let's All Help the Cowboys Sing the Blues" by Waylon Jennings. "It really excited me," <mask> recalls in his artist biography for Universal Music Group. "I immediately hunted down every Waylon record I could find." Kennerley quit his job in advertising and allowed himself three months to develop his talents as a songwriter. Recordings
In 1972, <mask> recorded an album with a rock band called 'Holy Roller' at Virgin record's newly opened Manor studio, with Tom Newman (Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells etc.)and Philip Newell, and Newman subsequently sang all the songs on the demonstration tapes of the White Mansions album. <mask>'s first project was White Mansions, a 1978 concept album set in the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The project was picked up by A&M Records, with Glyn Johns producing. A number of notable artists recorded the music, including Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Steve Cash of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Eric Clapton. In 1980, a second concept album was released, The Legend of Jesse James, which featured more notable artists, including Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Charlie Daniels,

Neither White Mansions nor Jesse James were commercially successful, but they did establish <mask> as a serious songwriter.Among his early compositions was "Born to Run", which Emmylou Harris recorded in 1981 for her album, Cimarron, and she continues to frequently perform the song in her concerts. Kennerly continued to live in London while he wrote songs, but, in 1983, moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he started working with Harris on her semi-autobiographical concept album, The Ballad of Sally Rose, co-writing and producing the album. <mask> also collaborated with Harris on her albums Thirteen and Bluebird, and writing the songs "In My Dreams" and "Heartbreak Hill". Kennerley also wrote songs for The Judds ("Young Love", "One Man Woman", "Let Me Tell You About Love", "Cry Myself to Sleep", "Have Mercy" and "Give a Little Love"), Marty Stuart ("Hillbilly Rock", "Western Girls", "Tempted", "Till I Found You", "Little Things"), Tanya Tucker ("Walking Shoes"), Sweethearts of the Rodeo ("Chains of Gold"), Patty Loveless ("Blue Memories"), Juice Newton ("Tell Me True"), The Everly Brothers as well as Carla Olson & John York (First In Line).

Tomlin characters

In 1969, after a stint as a hostess on the ABC series Music Scene, <mask> joined NBC's sketch comedy show Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. Signed as a replacement for the departing Judy Carne, Tomlin was an instant success on the already established program, in which in addition to appearing in general sketches and delivering comic gags, she began appearing as the regular characters she created; they became well known and she portrayed them outside of the show in later recordings and television specials:
 Ernestine was a brash, tough and uncompromising telephone operator who generally treated customers with little sympathy. Ernestine often

Her opening lines were often the comical "one ringy dingy... two ringy dingy", and, "Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?" In the sketches, Ernestine was usually at her switchboard taking calls. She occasionally called her boyfriend, Vito, a telephone repair man, or her pal Phenicia, another operator.<mask> reprised the role in 2016 for a TV ad as part of PETA's campaign against SeaWorld. <mask> has also reprised the role on several episodes of Sesame Street. Edith Ann is a precocious five-and-a-half-year-old girl who waxes philosophical on everyday life, either about life as a kid or things for which she feels she has the answers, although she is too young to fully understand. She often ends her monologues with "And that's the truth", punctuating it with a noisy raspberry. Edith Ann sits in an oversized rocking chair (to make <mask> seem child-sized) with her rag doll, Doris, and often talks of life at home with her battling parents and bullying older sister, Mary Jean (<mask>'s given birth names). Edith Ann has an oversized, playfully aggressive dog named Buster and a boyfriend named Junior Phillips, a possibly unrequited love. (Only Edith Ann and "Doris" appear in the Edith Ann sketches.)<mask> reprised the character for a series of sketches on Sesame Street in the 1970s, and voiced her in three prime-time cartoon specials in the

Mrs. Judith Beasley is a housewife and mother from Calumet City, Illinois, who is often chosen for television commercials and offers "good consumer advice". She appears in the film The Incredible Shrinking Woman as the lead character's neighbor. Mrs. Earbore (The Tasteful Lady) is a somewhat prudish and prissy, conservatively dressed middle-aged apolitical woman who dispenses advice on gracious living and a life of elegance. Susie the Sorority Girl is a blonde collegiate who could be the Tasteful Lady's daughter. Humorless and melodramatic, her biggest worries are the likes of who took her missing album by The Carpenters. The Consumer Advocate Lady is a dour, austere woman who rigidly inspects and tests products for their alleged value.The Consumer Advocate Lady is something of a variation of Mrs. Beasley. Lucille the Rubber Freak is a woman addicted to eating rubber, whose monologue details her habit from its beginning (chewing the eraser on pencils) to her obsessive rock bottom (eating the tip off mother's cane). <mask> performed this character as part of her Laugh-In audition. Tess/Trudy is a homeless bag lady who accosts theater-goers and various passers-by with her offbeat observations and tales of communications with extraterrestrials.

In 1982, but later popularized by a January 22, 1983 Saturday Night Live appearance, she premiered Pervis Hawkins, a black rhythm-and-blues soul singer (patterned after Luther Vandross), with a mustache, beard, and close-cropped afro hairstyle, dressed in a three-piece suit. <mask> used very little, if any, skin-darkening cosmetics as part of the character, instead depending on stage lighting to create the effect. In 1970, AT&T offered <mask> $500,000 to play her character Ernestine in a commercial, but she declined, saying it would compromise her artistic integrity. In 1976, she appeared on Saturday Night Live as Ernestine in a Ma Bell advertisement parody in which she proclaimed, "We don't care, we don't have to...we're the phone company." The character later made a guest appearance at The Superhighway Summit at UCLA on January 11, 1994, interrupting a speech being given on the information superhighway by then-Vice President Al Gore.She appeared as three of her minor characters in a 1998 ad campaign for Fidelity Investments that did not include Ernestine or Edith Ann. In 2003, she made two commercials as an "updated" Ernestine for WebEx. Tomlin brought Edith Ann to the forefront again in the 1990s with three animated prime-time television specials. She published Edith Ann's "autobiography" My Life (1995), co-written with Jane Wagner. Recordings

Tomlin bounced back with the critical and financial hit All of Me, opposite Steve Martin, in which she played sickly heiress whose spirit became trapped in Martin's body. <mask> and Bette Midler played two pairs of identical twins who were switched at birth in the 1988 comedy, Big Business. <mask> also played chain-smoking waitress Doreen Piggott in Altman's 1993 ensemble film Short Cuts, based on stories by Raymond Carver.

There was a lot of pressure in making the movie—even the way it came out you could see it was a very free-associative, crazy movie, and David was under a tremendous amount of pressure. And he's a very free-form kind of guy anyway." <mask> collaborated again with director Robert Altman in what would prove to be his last film, A Prairie Home Companion (2006).
