<mask>, physician and researcher, is head of the Karches Center for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Research at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, NY. Education
Dr. <mask> received his M.D. from Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed 4 years of internal medicine training in the Cornell Cooperating Hospitals program at North Shore University Hospital and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He is also trained in Rheumatology and in Allergy-Clinical Immunology. Academic appointments
Dr<mask> was a research fellow in immunology at Harvard University in the department of Baruj Benacerraf, M.D., who a few years later shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Dr. <mask> was then worked with Henry G. Kunkel at The Rockefeller University. At Rockefeller, his time was spent studying human B cells in normal and disease settings.In 1987, Dr<mask> was appointed Chief of the then newly created Division of Rheumatology & Allergy-Clinical Immunology at North Shore University Hospital. In 2000, he was appointed the first director and CEO of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, a position he held until January 2006. Dr<mask> is currently Professor of Medicine and of Cell Biology in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and head of the Karches Center for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Research at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. Principal scientific contributions
Dr. <mask>'s research interests revolve around understanding the activation and maturation of B-lymphocytes in health and disease, in particular chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Dr. <mask> and his colleagues have demonstrated that: CLL cells are responsive to signals from the internal microenvironment, in particular those delivered by the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) leading to leukemic cell proliferation and maturation or death; BCR-induced signals are likely delivered by common self antigens and are mediated through sets of BCRs of remarkably similar amino acid structure; patients with CLL segregate into two subgroups based on BCR structure that differ dramatically in clinical outcome; CLL cells proliferate and die in vivo at rates higher than originally appreciated. These findings have led to the view that (auto)antigen drive is a promoting factor in the development and evolution of CLL and have been pivotal in refining patient prognosis. Awards and honors

<mask> (September 22, 1900 – August 7, 1967) was an American-born silver designer and artist, best known for his influence on 20th century Mexican silver design. Early life
<mask> was born in 1900 in Sonyea, Livingston County, New York, the son of epileptologist <mask><mask>. After the deaths of <mask>'s mother and sister, he moved to his father's boyhood home outside of Auburn, Alabama. <mask> graduated from Auburn High School and the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (currently known as Auburn University), where he majored in architecture. Career

Architecture professor and lecturer
Upon graduation, <mask> took a position as an instructor in the architecture department at Auburn University, and in 1921 he was offered a similar position at Tulane University's School of Architecture in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the same time, he was an active participant in the Arts and Crafts Club and taught in the New Orleans Art School. During the summers of 1926-1928, <mask> lectured on colonial architecture at the National University of Mexico's Summer School.Silverwork

Taller de las Delicias
The highly charged political and social environment in Mexico after the revolution influenced <mask>'s decision in 1931 to reestablish a silver industry in Taxco. Taxco was a traditional site of silver mines, but had no native silverworking industry. Spratling began designing works in silver based primarily on pre-Columbian and traditional motifs, and hired local goldsmiths to produce those designs in Taxco. <mask> was the primary designer for his workshop, Taller de las Delicias, and was insistent on the high quality of the materials and techniques used in production. Talented maestros shared in the creative dialogue with <mask>, transforming his design drawings into prototypes in silver. <mask>'s use of an aesthetic vocabulary based on pre-Columbian art can be compared to the murals of Diego Rivera, in that both artists were involved in the creation of a new cultural identity for Mexico. Primarily, <mask>'s silver designs drew upon pre-conquest Mesoamerican motifs, with influence from other native and Western cultures.To many, his work served as an expression of Mexican nationalism, and gave Mexican artisans the freedom to create designs in non-European forms. Because of his influence on the silver design industry in Mexico, <mask> has been called the "Father of Mexican Silver". The forms that evolved in silver at Las Delicias were admired by visitors to the workshop, who purchased the objects as talismans of a remote and exotic culture. Wholesale
In the late thirties, <mask> expanded beyond sales at Las Delicias and into a wholesale business. He employed over 500 artisans in the workshop to meet the demand in the United States for luxury good during World War II. Spratling silver was sold through the Montgomery Ward catalog and at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. With the cost of moving the workshop to an ancient silver hacienda, La Florida, <mask> incorporated to provide cash flow for his company.On June 30, 1945, a majority of the shares was sold to North American investor Russell Maguire, whose business practices ultimately took the company into bankruptcy.<ref>Penny C. Morrill and Carole A. Berk, Mexican Silver: 20th Century Handwrought Jewelry and Silver (Atglen, PA: Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 4th edition, 2007): 50-54</ref>

Alaska Native Arts
<mask> had received widespread fame as a result of his development of what many considered a model handwrought industry. In 1945, <mask> was asked by two friends, Alaska's Territorial Governor, Ernest Gruening, and the Director of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, Rene d'Harnoncourt, to replicate his success in Alaska. Spratling recommended the establishment of workshop and exhibit centers in various regions of Alaska organized into a Federation of Alaska Native Arts. Each center's unique production would be born out of the traditions in iconography, materials, and techniques belonging to that specific region. In 1948, Alaskan World War II veterans were sent to Taxco for instruction in silversmithing. Spratling also produced 200 prototypes as future inspiration for the newly trained Alaskans in their workshop centers. Unfortunately, Congress did not allocate funds and the project was not implemented.Taxco workshop
In 1952, <mask> reestablished a small workshop at his ranch in Taxco el Viejo and began production of silver jewelry and decorative objects that clearly were influenced by his Alaskan experience. In a 1955 article, "25 Years of Mexican Silverware," <mask> expressed his belief that the object in silver should be considered the culmination of a mystical and visionary process. For Spratling, the necessity of direct human involvement in every phase of a handwrought industry meant there were contributions to be made by every maestro and silversmith. The designer continuously interacted with and was aware of the capabilities of members of the workshop. The final statement, the object itself, was a result of an ongoing experiment in creativity. Silver works
<mask>'s earliest work can be characterized as inspired expressions in silver, resembling the power of the reliefs on the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Xochicalco or the pre-Columbian clay stamps he admired. The designs incorporate sinuous lines that were deeply carved, with strong light and shadow contrasts.The inspiration from pre-Columbian models could be direct, as in the repousse Quetzalcoatl brooch, based on the heart bowl in the Museo Nacional de Antropología, or indirect, like the silver pitcher with the eagle handle in carved wood. Spratling marked his earliest work with a simple interlocking WS. After 1938, he began using a circular mark with the WS sans-serifs at its center, around which read "Spratling Made in Mexico". This mark was accompanied, up until 1945, with an oval in which was imprinted, "Spratling Silver". The Alaska pieces and work from c. 1950 were marked with a simple script "WS". Spratling also collaborated briefly (1949–51) with the Mexico City silver company Conquistador, and these pieces were marked with a circle in which was inscribed "Spratling de [or of] Mexico" and across, "Sterling". The eagle or assay mark for the Conquistador pieces contained the number 13, and for Spratling, the numbers 1 or 30.<mask>'s later work is more linear and refined. The croissant necklace has a great deal of movement, but now based on abstract form. <mask>tling Taxco Mexico". In the 1960s, Spratling began producing jewelry in gold with pre-Columbian stones. Each piece was unique and marked with a simple "WS" beneath "18K". Published works
 In 1926 <mask> collaborated with <mask> on Sherwood Anderson And Other Famous Creoles, a series of caricatures depicting the bohemian atmosphere of artists and writers living and working in the French Quarter in the 1920s. In 1927, Spratling did illustrations for his good friend Natalie Scott's Old Plantation Houses in Louisiana.The balanced interaction between illustration and text was characteristic of all of <mask>'s published work. In Plantation Houses, the renderings of the buildings are as descriptive as Natalie Scott's narrative, which, when taken together, transport the reader into settings where people lived out their lives. In a 1928 article for Scribner's Magazine, <mask> had sensitively portrayed the people of Isle Breville, Louisiana. Little Mexico was published in 1932 and is considered his most significant literary work. The same qualities of observation by <mask> for the 1928 articles are present and compelling in Little Mexico. In the following passage, <mask> comes close to defining the intensity of his encounters: "To rub shoulders with the Indian population, to see them smiling and occupied, eating their simple meals, arguing agrarian problems over a cup of tequila, arranging themselves on the ground for the night, and, above all, to witness their dances and to observe the mystery of the faces of the dancers - is a profound experience." Personal life
While teaching at Tulane, Spratling shared a house with writer <mask>.When lecturing at the National University of Mexico's Summer School in 1926-1928, Spratling quickly integrated himself into the Mexican art scene and became a friend and a strong proponent of the work of muralist Diego Rivera, for whom he organized an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Using money received from commissions he organized for Rivera, Spratling bought a home in Taxco, Mexico in 1928, where he began work on a book, Little Mexico, about this small mountain town. <mask> was gay, but most accounts of his life mention this only indirectly if at all. Spratling amassed a large collection of pre-Columbian figurines from Remojadas, Veracruz, which he donated, in large part, to the museum of the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1959. Photographed by Manuel Álvarez Bravo, several of these works were published in More Human Than Divine. <mask> also donated hundreds of pre-Columbian objects to a museum in Taxco that today bears his name. <mask> was killed in an automobile accident outside of Taxco on August 7, 1967, at the age of 66.Sabina Leof (aka Tibby Leof, wife of noted Pre-Columbian art collector and preeminent dentist Dr Milton Arno Leof) commented on her friendship with <mask>: "He had no political views, was not dedicated to anything special. He believed in humanity. He was an ardent American, but had a great love for the Mexican people."

<mask> (born June 15, 1975) is an American military officer and politician who served as the 13th administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). <mask> was the United States representative for Oklahoma's 1st congressional district, based in Tulsa from January 3, 2013, to April 23, 2018. He is a member of the Republican Party. <mask> currently works in the private sector and holds positions at Voyager Space Holdings, Viasat, and Acorn Growth Companies. On September 1, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Bridenstine to be the Administrator of NASA; he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 19, 2018, by a party-line vote of 50–49. <mask> was on the Committee on Science, Space and Technology during his time in Congress. He is the first elected official to be appointed NASA Administrator.<mask> stepped down as the head of NASA on January 20, 2021, to make way for a new leader in the Biden Administration. Former Senator and astronaut Bill Nelson was announced on March 19, 2021, as his chosen successor. Early life and education
<mask> was born on June 15, 1975, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He grew up in Arlington, Texas, the son of an elementary school teacher and an accountant, where he became an Eagle Scout. His family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, during his junior year of high school, and during his senior year he was captain of the Jenks High School swim team and Oklahoma Swimmer of the Year; as of mid-2016, was one of a team of four that held the Oklahoma state record in the 200-meter freestyle relay for age group 17–18. <mask> graduated from Jenks High School in 1993, and earned a scholarship to Rice University in Houston, Texas, but injured his shoulder during his second year; he took five years to graduate, in 1998. He triple majored with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Psychology, and Business.He later received a Master's in Business Administration from Cornell University, awarded in 2009. Early career
<mask> joined the Navy in May 1998, after graduating from Rice University. He was a Naval Aviator in both the active duty United States Navy and the United States Naval Reserve. He flew the E-2C Hawkeye aircraft as part of a carrier air wing with the U.S. Navy and in Central and South America in support of the War on Drugs with the Naval Reserve. He later moved to the F-18 Hornet and flew at the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, in Nevada

In 2006, Bridenstine bought stock in the Rocket Racing League (RRL), which planned to begin races in 2008. In January 2007, he met with Tulsa city officials, asking for support for establishing a team in that city, and later in 2007 he invested in an RRL team. In 2007, after the end of his active duty in the Navy, <mask> moved to Orlando, Florida, where he worked at Wyle Laboratories, a defense consulting firm.In 2008, <mask> and his family moved back to Tulsa to be closer to his family, and he became the chief pilot for the Tulsa team of the RRL. In December 2008, <mask> became the executive director of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. In November 2009, he proposed to the head of RRL that the league put on an air show in Tulsa, and in February 2010 the museum announced that it would partner with RRL for the show. The April 2010 show attracted around 40,000 spectators, but lost $330,000, and overall fundraising events for the museum for 2010 lost $400,000. <mask> left the executive director's position in August 2010, along with the museum's financial controller and the director of marketing. In 2010, <mask> began serving in the Navy Reserve. In 2015, two years after become a U.S. Representative, he transferred his Reserve commission and joined the Oklahoma Air National Guard.U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2012

In September 2011, <mask> launched a campaign to unseat five-term incumbent U.S. Congressman John Sullivan. <mask> won the June 2012 Republican primary election with 54% of the vote. Although he identified with the Tea Party and was perceived as running to Sullivan's right, <mask>'s actual policy statements differed little from those of Sullivan. <mask> had effectively clinched a seat in Congress by ousting Sullivan in the Republican primary. The 1st is a heavily Republican district with a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+16, and has been in Republican hands since 1987. In the November 2012 general election, Bridenstine defeated Democratic nominee John Olson 63%–32%, winning all five counties in the district.2014

<mask> ran unopposed in the 2014 election. His top campaign contributors were Northrop Grumman, Latshaw Drilling, American Optometric Association, Citizens United and the Every Republican is Crucial Political Action Committee. He received $29,000 from donors associated with the Turquoise Council of Americans and Eurasians and the Assembly of the Friends of Azerbaijan (AFAZ), per an analysis of the Center for Responsive Politics. 2016

<mask> retained his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2016 election. Following the 2016 presidential election, <mask> was viewed as a possible candidate for either NASA administrator or Secretary of the Air Force under the Donald Trump administration. <mask> had already declared that he would not run for re-election in 2018 after making a three-term pledge. Committee assignments
<mask> sat on the Committee on Armed Services and Committee on Science, Space and Technology during the 113th, 114th, and 115th Congresses.Within the Armed Services Committee, <mask> has sat on the Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces and Subcommittee on Strategic Forces. Within the Science Committee, <mask> has sat on the Subcommittee on Environment (Chairman) and Subcommittee on Space. He is a member of the Freedom Caucus and the House Baltic Caucus. Ethics investigation
<mask>'s amendment to the defense appropriations bill came following a visit to Baku upon invitation of the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic for ten members of Congress and 32 staff members; the visit became the subject of an ethics investigation. The members received numerous gifts during the trip totaling thousands of dollars in value. In 2013, Bridenstine returned two of the gifts (a pair of rugs worth several thousand dollars) to the donor; he had been the only lawmaker to disclose gifts from the trip on his financial disclosure forms. In 2015, he turned over remaining gifts received during the trip to the House Clerk, around the time that a watchdog report that indicated that the source of the funding for the trip had not been properly declared.The OCE and House Ethics committee found that lawmakers and aides had no way of knowing that the trip was funded improperly. NASA administrator

Nomination
On September 1, 2017, the White House announced that Bridenstine was President Donald Trump's preferred pick to head NASA. The choice was quickly criticized by both Republican and Democratic politicians, saying that NASA should be headed by a "space professional", not a politician or a Trump ally. Critics drew attention to Bridenstine's lack of formal qualifications in science or engineering, unlike previous appointees to that post. Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio said that Bridenstine's political history could prove controversial and delay the confirmation process, saying "I just think it could be devastating for the space program", while Democratic Senator Bill Nelson, also of Florida and a former Payload Specialist for NASA who flew on STS-61-C, said "The head of NASA ought to be a space professional, not a politician." Nelson himself would be nominated to lead NASA by President Biden in 2021. CNN found that Bridenstine's Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts had been entirely deleted, while most of the interviews on his Soundcloud were deleted, at a time when Congress would be examining his record for his confirmation hearing.Bridenstine has criticized NASA spending on climate science and has supported increased privatization of U.S. civil and military space activities. According to NPR, Bridenstine's past climate change denial views "are sure to alarm scientists, because NASA conducts a huge amount of the global research on climate change." NASA finds that climate-warming trends are "extremely likely due to human activities" and has written on its website that "the small amount of dissent tends to come from a few vocal scientists who are not experts in the climate field or do not understand the scientific basis of long-term climate processes". Since his confirmation, <mask> has said that he agrees with the scientific consensus around human contributions to climate change. Eric Stallmer, president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, said he was "very impressed with [Bridenstine's] deep knowledge of space technology issues and his record of strong leadership in promoting positive change." The decision to pick Bridenstine was also praised by Senator Ted Cruz. According to Science Magazine, "many expect that Bridenstine, who has written about the commercial potential of exploiting lunar resources, could shift the agency's emphasis [from its long-term mission of sending humans to Mars] toward the moon."ABC News wrote that <mask> was in favor of both human missions to the Moon and Mars. The U.S. Senate confirmed <mask> on April 19, 2018, by a party-line vote of 50–49. He became the first member of Congress to lead NASA. <mask> was sworn in by Vice President Mike Pence at the NASA Headquarters building in Washington, D.C. on April 23, 2018. Space Launch System

In March 2019, Mike Pence pushed NASA to land humans on the Moon in 2024 instead of the initially planned 2028. Bridenstine stated that for it to happen, the Space Launch System would need to be accelerated, along with various other aspects such as the LOP-G, an orbiting space station around the Moon. Bridenstine also considered commercial Heavy-Lift rockets such as the Delta IV Heavy or Falcon Heavy.The idea was scrapped due to the logistical issue of docking an Orion and a European Service Module and the aerodynamics of using a Falcon Heavy. Private space companies

Bridenstine established a working relationship with SpaceX CEO and Founder Elon Musk. Following the DM-1 mission in March 2019, Musk posited the need for humans to have a base on the Moon, to which Bridenstine responded, "that's the goal." Artemis program
Bridenstine played a huge role in implementing President Trump's Space Policy Directive One and developed the planned architecture for a return to the Moon. Bridenstine later named the program the Artemis program. Bridenstine also decided that the lunar lander for the Artemis program would be developed commercially similar to the model used for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. Post-public career
Following the end of his tenure as NASA Administrator, Bridenstine returned to his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.On January 25, 2021, Acorn Growth Companies announced that he was hired as a dedicated senior advisor. On April 1, 2021, Bridenstine joined the board of directors of satellite operator Viasat in his second private sector role since stepping down as NASA's administrator. On April 7, 2021, Denver-based Voyager Space Holdings, which has been buying businesses to build a vertically integrated space exploration company, announced they had appointed Bridenstine to chair its advisory board. Dylan Taylor, chairman and CEO of Voyager, said Bridenstine's expertise would help guide the company's "aggressive and ambitious growth plan." Political positions
While in Congress, Bridenstine was a member of the House Freedom Caucus. Space
Bridenstine focused heavily on space policy during his tenure in Congress, stating "[o]ur very way of life depends on space, the way we communicate, the way we navigate, the way we produce food and energy, the way we conduct banking." In April 2016 at the 32nd Annual Space Symposium, Bridenstine introduced H.R.4945, the American Space Renaissance Act, comprehensive reform legislation with provisions affecting national security, civil, and commercial space policy. In addition, Bridenstine proposed legislation related to the regulatory process overseeing certain non-traditional space activities, and helped secure funding for the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation. Recognizing his efforts, in 2015 SpaceNews named Bridenstine as one of five game changers in the world in space. Environment and climate

Before becoming the chief administrator of NASA, Bridenstine rejected the scientific consensus behind global climate change and in a 2013 speech on the House floor stated that global temperatures stopped rising ten years earlier. <mask> criticized the Obama administration for spending "30 times as much money" on climate science as on weather forecasting. PolitiFact says of this claim that "Bridenstine does have a point that climate change research exceeds weather forecasting expenditures, but he’s overstated the discrepancy," and they rate the assertion as "mostly false". In the 114th Congress, <mask> was the Chairman of the Environment Subcommittee of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee.In that role, he pushed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration "... to integrate commercial data into its weather forecasting models." In September 2016, NOAA awarded two contracts to private weather satellite firms to provide data for its use. In 2017, Bridenstine supported James Langevin's legislation requiring the Defense Department to report on the effects of climate change on military installations and strategic battle plans. According to journalist Keith Cowing, <mask>'s support for the Langevin amendment "was widely seen as being instrumental in its passage." By May 2018, <mask> had reversed his public position on climate change. At a town hall meeting in Washington D.C., Bridenstine said that "I fully believe and know that the climate is changing. I also know that we humans beings are contributing to it in a major way.Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. We're putting it into the atmosphere in volumes that we haven't seen, and that greenhouse gas is warming the planet. That is absolutely happening, and we are responsible for it." Personal life
On November 6, 2004, in Fort Worth, Texas, Bridenstine married Michelle Deanne Ivory. References

Chén Xīliè () (died February 11, 758) was an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. During the An Shi Rebellion, he surrendered to An Lushan and served as chancellor of An's state of Yan at Luoyang. After Tang forces recaptured Luoyang, he was forced to commit suicide. Background
It is not known when <mask>lie was born, but it is known that he was from Sòng Prefecture (宋州, roughly modern Shangqiu, Henan). However, nothing else is known about his family, as no family tree was given for him in the table of the chancellors' family trees in the New Book of Tang. <mask> was known to be well-studied, particularly in Taoism-related mysticism, and was also a capable writer. During Emperor Xuanzong's reign
During the middle of Emperor Xuanzong's Kāiyuán era (713-741), Emperor Xuanzong was interested in the classic texts, and often had scholars explain the texts to him.Originally, this was done by the officials Chǔ Wúliàng () and Yuán Xíngchōng (). After Chu died in 719 and Yuan died in 729, Emperor Xuanzong engaged <mask> and Féng Cháoyǐn () to frequently explain the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching to him. <mask> was initially promoted to be Mìshū Shàojiān (), the deputy head of the Palace Library, and also succeeded Zhang Jiuling in heading the imperial institute Jíxián Institute (). Whenever Emperor Xuanzong was writing something of importance, <mask> would assist him in drafting the language. In 742, when the official Tián Tóngxiù () reported seeing an appearance of Laozi above Dānfèng Gate (), <mask> was one of the officials who submitted a statement flattering Emperor Xuanzong for the holiness of his reign. In 746, after the chancellor Li Shizhi was removed from office due to machinations by his colleague Li Linfu, Li Linfu believed that <mask> had a subservient personality and would be easy to control, and therefore recommended <mask> to succeed Li Shizhi. Emperor Xuanzong gave <mask> the designation Tóng Zhōngshū Ménxià Píngzhāngshì (), making <mask> a chancellor de facto.It was said that <mask> followed Li Linfu's directions in all matters and that <mask> merely signed all documents that Li Linfu wanted him to sign. Later, he was made Zuǒ Xiàng (), the head of the examination bureau and a post considered one for a chancellor, as well as the minister of defense (兵部尚書, Bīngbù Shàngshū). He was created the Duke of Yǐngchuān (). By 752, however, <mask> was instead aligned with the rising Yang Guozhong—the cousin of Emperor Xuanzong's favorite concubine Consort Yang Yuhuan—against Li Linfu. When Li Linfu's close associate Wáng Hóng () was implicated in a rebellion plot contrived by his brother Wáng Hàn (), Li Linfu tried to extricate him, but <mask> and Yang insisted that Wang Hong was guilty and should be further investigated, eventually leading to Wang Hong's being forced to commit suicide. Further, both <mask> and Geshu Han also accused Li Linfu of associating with another general who rebelled around that time, the ethnically Tujue general Lǐ Xiànzhōng (). This added to the apprehension that Li Linfu had at that point about Yang's rising power, and Li Linfu died in fear around the new year 753.After Li Linfu's death, <mask> continued to serve as chancellor, along with Yang, but actual power was wielded by Yang. It was said that all important matters were decided at Yang's mansion, not at the office of the chancellors. Meanwhile, when Yang was able to successfully posthumously implicate Li Linfu in Li Xianzhong's rebellion, causing Li Linfu to be posthumously dishonored and his family to be exiled, Yang and <mask> were created greater ducal titles—in <mask>'s case, the Duke of Xu—to award them for "discovering" Li Linfu's plot. Meanwhile, though, Yang was apprehensive of <mask> as well, and therefore tried to squeeze him out of power entirely. <mask> himself was apprehensive and therefore offered to resign. In 754, Emperor Xuanzong made <mask> a senior advisor to his son Li Heng the Crown Prince and removed him from his chancellor position, replacing him with Wei Jiansu. During Anshi Rebellion
In 755, the military governor (jiedushi) An Lushan rebelled at Fànyáng.In 756, after declaring himself emperor of a new state of Yan, he advanced on the capital Chang'an, forcing Emperor Xuanzong to flee. After his forces entered Chang'an, <mask>, who was distressed over not being in an important position at that time, submitted to An, along with the officials Zhāng Jūn () and Zhāng Jì (). An had them delivered to Luoyang, which he had made his capital, and made <mask> and Zhang Ji chancellors. In 757, by which time An Lushan's son Ān Qìngxù was the emperor of Yan and Lǐ Hēng was the emperor of Tang (as Emperor Sùzōng), Tang counterattacks, led by  Emperor Suzong's son Lǐ Chù the Prince of Guǎngpíng and with Uyghur assistance, recaptured Luoyang. Some 300 former Tang officials who had accepted Yan offices, including <mask>, changed into mourning clothes and begged for forgiveness. Li Chu had them released, but soon had them escorted to Chang'an, which was by then again Tang's capital. After they formally paid respect to Emperor Suzong and apologized, they were delivered to the supreme court and placed under arrest.They were tried jointly by the officials Lǐ Xiàn, Lǚ Yīn, and Cuī Qì (). Cui and Lü proposed that all of them be executed. Li Xian opposed, instead proposing six different grades of punishment, and Emperor Suzong accepted Li Xian's proposal. 18 officials were beheaded, while <mask> and six others were ordered to commit suicide. It was said that <mask> was allowed to commit suicide rather than being publicly executed because Emperor Suzong remembered how Emperor Xuanzong had favored him. Notes and references

<mask> "Tova" <mask> (Duga Resa, 18 May 1949 – Zagreb, 20 November 1991) was a highly accomplished Croatian / Yugoslav professional table tennis player. Table Tennis career
He was one of the most renowned personalities in the history of the competition, earning him the nickname "the golden left hand of Croatian sport". A table tennis child prodigy who was proclaimed "Best Croatian Sportsman" in 1975, he was National Championship winner numerous times, three times European Champion in doubles, World Champion in men's doubles in 1979  (<mask>urbek), and World Championship silver medalist in singles in 1975. Early years
<mask> was born in Duga Resa, a small industrial town in central Croatia's Karlovac County (at the time of his birth, and until summer-autumn 1991, Croatia was one of six republics constituting Yugoslavia). His family of five — father Ivan, a janitor at the football club, mother Franca and two younger brothers, Marijan and Ivica — had a difficult time trying to make ends meet. They lived in very modest circumstances in a damp apartment located at the football (soccer) playground which shared its location with the hall of the Table Tennis Club (TTC) "Duga Resa". At the end of the 1950s, a group of sport enthusiasts led by Josip Trupković, Josip Stojković and Dragutin Vrana brought inspiration to the little-noted town and its young people with a new sport - table tennis.The TTC "Pamučna industrija" was born and its priority was to coach the next generation. As time passed and word began to spread, more and more curiosity seekers began to visit the table tennis halls to see with their own eyes the Duga Resa youngster, called "the wonder kid". "Tova" <mask> won his first tournament at the age of 12 in 1961, playing in Karlovac League's cadet category and, a few months later, was the best at Zagreb's "Ribnjak". Fame at the age of 16

The crucial year was 1965. In that year the famous Japanese expert Ichiro Ogimura visited Duga Resa, leading a strong selection which enraptured the overcrowded table tennis hall. <mask> recalled that "Ogimura impressed me with his easy way of moving around and attacking although at that time he passed his best days in table tennis". Another direct contact with a great player occurred at the world championships in Ljubljana in which Tova played for the first time.As chosen by lot, or by accident, he had to play against the world champion Zhuang Zedong. He later confessed that his knees could not hold him, but nevertheless he scored some very good points, which brought him compliments from the Chinese champion. He tapped Tova on the shoulder and they were photographed together, despite the lopsided result (8:21, 11:21, 14:21). After a passage of only five years, at the very same Tivoli hall, <mask> would now be the champion, thoroughly defeating the legendary Chuang Tse Tung. In 1965, at the age of 16, was no longer a youngster — he grew a few centimeters and became stronger for a few points. At the Open Championships of Poland in Krakow he won his first important international match — in the second round he defeated the European champion Swede Kjell Johanson 24:22 in the fifth set, winning Johanson's two match balls. And as <mask> <mask> firmly stepped forward onto the world table tennis scene,  the highest world authorities agreed that he would have a brilliant career.In 1966 Tova was a member of the national team to the European Championships in Wembley. That year he won two medals on The Youth European Championships in Szombathely — gold, playing mixed doubles with Mirjana Resler and silver, playing doubles with Zlatko Čordaš. At that point, Tova devoted all his attention to studying and graduating from Textile High School. He succeeded and then felt free to turn all his effort to sport and the excitement that sport brings. He played with a great deal of enthusiasm at the 1968 Championat de Europe at Lyon Sport Hall. He was very good in team events and still better in a completely unplanned double. The Association at the time made a new combination Korpa - Šurbek which was triumphant in Europe, while Tova, they decided, should play with Edvard Vecko, although they never trained or played before.Tova recalled, "...unburdened, without high pretensions we played you can say for our pleasure. In the final "round" we played against Swedish experts Johanson and Alser who did not lose a single match in two last world championships. We played the whole match offensively, well, firmly. The result went like this, 21:17, 20:22, 22:20 and 21:14! A big applause from the objective spectators in Palais des Sportes was a great reward. What an unforgettable reception at the Pleso airport and again in Duga Resa! I had to make a speech at the improvised platform, everyone was there...."

High points of career as a professional player
During summer 1970 came the unexpected decision, although not so unexpected among table tennis officials: Tova left his "Pamučna industrija" club and became a member of TTC "Vjesnik".The basic reason for moving from the smaller club to the larger one was the need for an adequately strong sparring partner (and none was more suitable than Šurbek or Čordaš), as well as the great challenge of taking part in The European Cup. With the new uniform he put on, there was still another major event: not long afterwards Tova <mask> was married... As 1971 began, he moved to Zagreb, recalling that "...the new surrounding, new habits, days of great changes... was time for thinking". The year's end was topped off with a glamorous prize: <mask> celebrating a first class victory at the International Tournament in Zagreb's "Box of Matches" Hall. Journalists lavished him with headlines - "Tova's Scalping Chinese", "Stipančić Over the Chinese Great Wall", "The Ball Caught Fire". <mask> smashed Chinese Zhou Lansun and Li Furong, in the semi-finals he defeated Šurbek and, in the finals, the celebrated Zhuang Zedong: 16:21, 21:12 and 21:12, experiencing ecstatic ovations from the overjoyed Zagreb spectators. In 1972 Zagreb played host to a tournament which brought together the top European table tennis players. It was a complete success in organization and results.It was a top show, with "Europe's Top Twelve" in Zagreb's Trešnjevka sport hall.... and Tova was in the leading role! He broke all the barriers and won the trophy which was presented to him by Reno Vinek, the editor of Sportske Novosti. On the world stage in 1975-80
In 1975 India built the Netaji Indoor Stadium, a 12,000-seat domed arena, specifically for the World Championships at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. There, Tova is considered to have played the matches of his life...  At the quarter-finals - a "match for the gourmet" - Hsi En Ting, the title defender left the arena totally defeated by Tova in a rarely seen match, 3:2. In the next game - and it was the semi-final, <mask> played against the excellent Japanese defender Takashima. <mask>'s superior play brought victory in 5 sets ! Then came the long-awaited finals.In the crowded hall, "the war" between 25-year-old <mask> <mask> and the year-younger Istvan Jonyer. It was an excellent opportunity Tova's expertise, but some had doubts. Since Tova had defeated the robust "Hungarian Hussar" only  a few days earlier in the team events, he had a certain psychological advantage, but there was uncertainty whether he would be able to use it. In the first set Jonyer started nervously and "hard", and <mask> collected points from semi distance, 4:2, 9:5, 13:7, 18:15 and 21:17. There was happiness on <mask>'s bench as the Hungarian seemed nervous and played shackled, while <mask> was winning his points "by blocking and controlling the situation firmly" winning the second set 21:12. 2:0! But Jonyer succeeded in catching up with <mask>, 2:2!There was palpable drama in the deciding fifth set! The Zagreb player from Duga Resa inched closer to victory as he led 16:15, 18:17... but Istvan played well, took risks, returned undependable balls, came to 18:20, and then missed one counter ball, 19:20. There was silence in the hall. Again a strong top spin attack, Tova's ball hit the net... Jonyer was the winner, Tova the silver medalist. In 1979 Tova flew to Pyongyang with his national team to the World Championship in Pyongyang with his national team. "Why not try again? ", he explained."I always fought more with my hand and heart than with my legs" and the medal hunters, the experienced double Šurbek – <mask> were off to win the table tennis Mount Everest! At the finals of the men's doubles, Tova and Šurba were on one side and two very well known competitors, Hungarian aces Klampar and Jonyer, were on the other. European finals held on Asian grounds. Victory for the Yugoslav team came with 3 sets to 0, and they were acclaimed as table tennis immortals for all time. The victors searched for appropriate words, and Tova, raising his voice said, "Men, I finally experienced it, we are the real champions. Nobody could take us a set." The following year, at the 1980 European Championships in Bern Tova won two medals playing doubles, but sportswriters pointed out that he showed his true sport greatness in the fifth set.At 19:19 he gave up the ball in favor of the English player Paul Day, although the referee decided the opposite. For that sport gesture he got "The Fair Play Trophy R. Bergmann". <mask> <mask> died in Zagreb at the age of 42. Legacy
Tova was seen as belonging to the entire world. Generations of table tennis players from every continent remember him — whether they played against him or enjoyed his brilliant moves at the green table. With his individuality and outstanding sport results, Tova <mask> left an indelible trace, becoming part of sport history, of the world, of Croatia and of his Duga Resa. He won 27 medals, 11 medals from world championships;  1 gold, 4 silver, 6 bronze; and 16 medals from European championships (4,3,9).Additionally, he won 48 medals at international tournaments in all categories.

Research interests

<mask> <mask> is widely recognized in Italy and aboard for her far-reaching studies on Hannah Arendt’s thought and the philosophical idea of Totalitarianism. In recent years she has given important contributions to the  debate on [biopolitics] launched by Michel Foucault, by focusing on Nazi biopolitics of the souls and democratic biopolitics of the bodies. In her last volume, "New Demons: Rethinking Power and Evil Today," translated into English and published by Stanford University Press in 2015, she deals with the contemporary reshaping of the notion of Evil. In the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, Brad Evans (University of Bath) began his review of the book by stating, "<mask> <mask>'s book is a sophisticated and theoretically rich text, which demands wide readership." <mask> offers a new and inspiring genealogy of the relationship between evil and power, contending that evil must be explored in tandem with the passive attitude towards rule-following, the need for normalcy and recognition, the desire to stay alive at all costs, and the desire for obedience nurtured by our contemporary mass democracies. From 2003 to 2011 <mask> <mask> was elected as member of the jury for “Der Hannah-Arendt Preis für politischen Denken” at  the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Bremen and Berlin.From 2004 to 2007 she served as the Italian member of the Coordinating  “International Committee of the European Science Foundation Network Activity on "The Politics and History of European Democratization"  (PHED) for the European Science Foundation. She has  held visiting appointments at many European and American universities. In 2016-2017 as well as in 2011-2012, held lessons and seminars at The New School for Social Research in New York, an institution which has actively contributed to spread the European philosophical tradition known as Continental philosophy in the US. Moreover, during the spring semester 2013–14 she has been awarded a “Fulbright Distinguished Chair” at Northwestern University, (Evanston, Il). Selected works

<mask> ( 190s – 240s), courtesy name Ziyu, was an official of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Life under the Eastern Han dynasty
<mask> was from Yingling County (), Beihai State (), Qing Province, which is located southeast of present-day Changle County, Shandong. He was born sometime in the late Eastern Han dynasty. He started his career in the 190s as an assistant official in the county office before progressing to serve in the commandery office under Kong Rong, who was then the Chancellor of Beihai State. <mask>'s original family name was <mask> (). When Kong Rong heard about it, he made fun of <mask>'s family name, saying that the character shi () had one stroke less than the character min (), and suggested that <mask> change his family name to the similar sounding <mask> () instead. <mask> heeded Kong Rong's suggestion.The Eastern Jin dynasty historian Xu Zhong () criticised both of them for <mask>'s changing of his family name and said that it was disrespectful to their ancestors. Around the mid-190s, when chaos broke out in Qing Province, and travelled south to the Jiangdong region, where he took shelter under Liu Yao, the Governor of Yang Province. After Liu Yao was defeated by the warlord Sun Ce in 195, <mask> left him and settled down in Kuaiji Commandery (around present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang). In the year 200, after Sun Ce's death, his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded him and became the new warlord ruling over the Jiangdong territories. Around this time, Sun Quan sent <mask> an elegantly written letter, asking <mask> to join him. <mask> agreed and became a Cavalry Commandant () under Sun Quan. As Sun Quan highly trusted <mask>, he made <mask> privy to classified information.In 219, when Sun Quan's general Lü Meng proposed a plan to defeat a rival general Guan Yu and seize control of southern Jing Province, Sun Quan sought <mask>'s opinion on Lü Meng's plan. <mask> agreed with Lü Meng's plan and advised Sun Quan to adopt it. Sun Quan then commissioned <mask> as a Colonel of Loyalty and Righteousness () and ordered him to accompany Lü Meng on the campaign. When <mask> thanked Sun Quan for his trust in him, the latter said, "I may not be a Viscount Jian of Zhao, but does that mean you can't be a Zhou She?" Life in Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period
After the successful conquest of southern Jing Province, Sun Quan relocated the capital of his territories to Wuchang (武昌; present-day Ezhou, Hubei), which was in southern Jing Province. In the same year, Sun Quan pledged nominal allegiance to Cao Pi, the emperor of the Cao Wei state, which had replaced the Eastern Han dynasty. In return, Cao Pi made Sun Quan a vassal king under the title "King of (Eastern) Wu" ().Sun Quan then promoted <mask> to Major-General (), appointed him as a Palace Attendant (), and enfeoffed him as a Marquis of a Chief Village (). Later, when Sun Quan wanted to put <mask> in command of more troops, <mask> firmly declined as he knew that he was not suitable to be a military commander. In 222, Sun Quan broke ties with Cao Pi and declared independence in his Eastern Wu kingdom. Sometime between 222 and 229, he sent <mask> to Wan County (皖縣; present-day Qianshan County, Anhui) to join the general Liu Shao (). In one battle, Wu forces led by Liu Shao and <mask> lured the Wei general Cao Xiu and his troops into a trap and defeated them. After the battle, Sun Quan promoted <mask> to Lieutenant-General () and recalled him to Wuchang to serve in the imperial secretariat, one of the key organs of the central government. Later, he put <mask> in charge of his sons' education.In 229, Sun Quan declared himself emperor of the Eastern Wu state. In October that year, he moved the imperial capital from Wuchang (武昌; present-day Ezhou, Hubei) to Jianye (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu) and left the crown prince Sun Deng in charge of Wuchang. <mask> remained in Wuchang as an adviser to Sun Deng, who highly respected him and frequently consulted him on policy matters. He was also elevated from the status of a village marquis to a Marquis of a Chief District (). Later, he accompanied Sun Deng when Sun Quan summoned them to Jianye, where <mask> was appointed as a Palace Attendant () and Central Upholder of the Law (). <mask> served in the imperial secretariat and performed duties similar to those when he was in Wuchang before 229. Sometime in the 230s, Lü <mask>, the supervisor of the audit bureau, falsely accused Diao Jia (), the Administrator of Jiangxia Commandery (江夏郡; around present-day Wuhan, Hubei), of defaming the imperial court.Sun Quan was so furious when he heard about it that he had Diao Jia arrested and imprisoned. During the interrogation, when Diao Jia's colleagues were asked whether they heard him defame the imperial court, they all said they did, because they feared retaliation from Lü <mask> if they said no. <mask>, however, insisted that he did not hear Diao Jia say anything defamatory. As the investigation dragged on for days, the tone of the imperial edicts issued by Sun Quan on this issue became increasingly harsh and stern, to the point where <mask>'s colleagues feared for his life. <mask> remained unfazed and told Sun Quan, "The sword's blade is now on my neck. Why would I dare to conceal the truth, seek my own death, and end up becoming a disloyal ghost? I only hope that everyone will see the truth."When he was questioned, he answered truthfully and gave consistent responses. Sun Quan eventually believed <mask> and spared Diao Jia. The Eastern Jin dynasty historian Xu Zhong () praised <mask> for maintaining his integrity, standing by his moral principles, and showing moral courage in such a life-threatening situation. In 234, Zhuge Liang, the Imperial Chancellor of Eastern Wu's ally state Shu Han, died of illness during the Battle of Wuzhang Plains against their rival state Cao Wei. In the same year, Sun Quan sent <mask> as an emissary to Shu to extend his condolences and reaffirm the Wu–Shu alliance against Wei. <mask> performed well on his diplomatic mission. After he returned to Wu, Sun Quan appointed him as Supervisor of the Masters of Writing ().In 242, Sun Quan designated his third and eldest surviving son, Sun He, as the new crown prince to replace Sun Deng, who died in the previous year. In the same year, he also enfeoffed his fourth son, Sun Ba, as the Prince of Lu. At the time, <mask> served as a tutor () to Sun Ba. When he saw that Sun Ba received equal treatment as Sun He, he felt that it was highly inappropriate because according to Confucian rules of propriety, Sun He, as the Crown Prince, should be accorded greater honours and privileges as compared to Sun Ba. He wrote memorials to Sun Quan on a number of occasions, recommending the emperor to let Sun Ba assume greater responsibilities and groom him to become an important pillar of the state. As Sun Ba's tutor, he gave proper advice to the prince and performed his role in a professional manner. At the same time, he also carried out his other duties diligently and treated everyone respectfully.As <mask> became critically ill towards the end of his life, he said that he wanted to have a very simple funeral, to be buried in a coffin of simple design, and to be dressed in the clothes he normally wore. He died in an unknown year at the age of 81 (by East Asian age reckoning). Appraisal
<mask> was known for leading a frugal and humble lifestyle. Unlike many other officials, he did not accumulate wealth for his family and never accepted financial aid from others. He was content with having only basic necessities. Sun Quan once went on a tour of <mask>'s neighbourhood and saw a large mansion. When he asked who the owner of the mansion was, someone told him it was <mask>.However, Sun Quan said that it was definitely not <mask>, given his lifestyle. He was proven right. <mask> wore very simple clothing and had simple meals every day. He also enjoyed helping the needy so he often donated or gave away his personal savings to the poor. When Sun Quan heard about it, he visited <mask>'s house and sampled the meals <mask> had every day. After the visit, he increased <mask>'s salary, gave him more rewards and a larger plot of land. However, <mask> rejected these rewards and gifts and said that he would feel uneasy if he accepted them.Throughout his service in the Wu government, <mask> had never made any mistake before. When Lü <mask>, the supervisor of the audit bureau, was looking for flaws in officials' work so that he could maliciously make a case and accuse them of something, he could find at least four problems with the work of every official he accused. However, when it came to <mask>'s work, he could not find a single flaw. Sun Quan also once sighed, "If everyone were like <mask>, would there still be a need for laws, rules and regulations?" Whenever <mask> recommended talents to Sun Quan, he only pointed out their strengths and said nothing about their weaknesses. Sun Quan thus chided him for not saying anything about their weaknesses and not making judgments about them. In response, <mask> said, "Your Majesty, as your subject, my duty is to perform my role well.I am always worried about not being competent in my role. (I keep my opinions about their weaknesses to myself because) I don't want to let my ignorance and limited knowledge affect Your Majesty's judgment about them." Chen Shou, the historian who wrote <mask>'s biography, among others, in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, appraised <mask> as follows: "<mask> was one of the highly capable and competent officials serving under Sun Quan. He was also known for his virtuous and upright moral character." See also
