308,238) in the rank of ss-sturmbannführer. over the next few years, he advanced steadily in rank, being promoted to ss-gruppenführer and generalleutnant of police in november 1942. from august 1942, he headed the command office in orpo, and functioned as deputy to orpo chief kurt daluege. he continued in this position until 19 march 1944 when, as a recently promoted ss-obergruppenführer and general of police, he was named to the newly created position of higher ss and police leader for hungary. during winkelmann's tenure in hungary, in an operation directed by adolf eichmann, over 437,000 hungarian jews were deported between may and july 1944, most all of whom perished in the nazi extermination camp at auschwitz. after the hungarian government of miklós horthy began negotiations to sue for peace, winkelmann, along with edmund veesenmayer the german plenipotentiary to hungary, immediately acted to remove the horthy regime and install the arrow cross puppet government on 15 october 1944.

winkelmann took up residence in his hometown of bordesholm, later moving to großharrie and then to kiel. in april 1955 he was elected to the municipal council of kiel. in may 1961 he provided a written deposition in germany to provide evidence in the eichmann trial being held in israel. in this document, he denied all culpability for the deportation and murder of hungarian jews, testifying that eichmann did not receive orders from him, but directly from the reich security main office (rsha) in the matter of the final solution. winkelmann subsequently served as president of the association of retired police officers. he retired in 1964 and was awarded the pension of a general of police. this generated controversy, as did the fact that he never stood trial for any role he may have played in the hungarian holocaust. john milton whitehead (march 6, 1823 - march 8, 1909) was an american chaplain who received the medal of honor for his actions in the american civil war.

robert bordo is a new york-based, canadian-american artist known for paintings that blend modernist formal concerns with postmodern approaches to image, subject matter and metaphor. throughout his career, he has worked in painting series positioned between representation and abstraction that critics characterize as conceptually structured, yet sensual in execution. these series explore recurring, often overlapping themes, such as memory and experience, the passage of time, landscape and weather phenomena, mapping, and mark-making as an indicator of thought.
new york times critic roberta smith described bordo's early map paintings as charting an idiosyncratic "hybrid discipline … a kind of cartographically conscious rerouting of modernism"; in a 2019 new yorker review of his "crackup" paintings, andrea scott wrote, "bordo's imagery is an apt metaphor for our current, contentious political climate, but his true subject is painting itself: how easily it can tip realism into abstraction or shift figure-ground relations until it's impossible to discern whether you’re on the inside looking out or vice versa. " bordo's work belongs to several public art collections, including the metropolitan museum of art, san francisco museum of modern art, and hammer museum. in 2007, he was awarded a guggenheim fellowship. he has also received a robert de niro, sr. prize and awards from the american academy of arts and letters, and canada council, among other recognition.
his first major solo exhibitions were held at brooke alexander gallery in new york (1987–1992) and mira godard gallery in toronto (1991). in 1995, he joined the faculty at the cooper union school of art in new york, heading its painting program from 1996 to 2017. he became a faculty member of bard college's mfa painting program in 2010. bordo maintained studios in both the hudson valley in upstate new york and brooklyn in the first two decades of the 2000s and now works from kinderhook, new york. artwork and reception bordo's painting series are intuitive in their development, often originating from ruminations on banal images, objects or clichés, which give way to explorations of the space, vocabulary and material practice of painting.
critics david cohen and stephen maine have related bordo's art to an american tradition of stylized abstraction from nature that includes alex katz and milton avery, while also linking him to critically self-aware contemporary painters such as raoul de keyser, thomas nozkowski, and merlin james. cohen distinguishes bordo from both groups in his greater focus on "painterly experience" and the physical qualities of color, substance and application. bordo's earlier series were noted for lyrical qualities recalling cézanne and the color-field painters clyfford still and agnes martin; his later series feature a blunter, more anxious sensibility that writers compare to the late work of philip guston. early series (1988–1998) in his early work, bordo sought to integrate an abstract painting language with subject matter and metaphors related to landscape, social narratives, modernism, and his personal history as a canadian and montrealer living in new york.
he initially painted globes, before turning to two-dimensional landforms and graphic elements, most prominently in his "map paintings. " his approach to imagery and form—as well as his suggestive titles—kept this work open to a range of political, historical and physical interpretations. stephen westfall described them as "homeless paintings" of drift and restlessness, of area but not place, grounded by concrete qualities of texture, surface and intimate scale. other writers identified metaphors involving emigration, journey, change and loss, or—citing their military, economic and geographic references—contemporary geopolitical commentary (e. g. , hidden agenda, thaw). bordo exhibited map paintings in six solo exhibitions between 1987 and 1996.
in these modestly scaled, quasi-minimal canvasses, he rendered the abstract shapes and irregular contours of landmasses from globes in glazes and textured fragments of color, which hovered between topographical suggestions of land, water or sky and abstraction, augmented by camouflage patterns, frames and elements from airmail envelopes, barely visible ledgers and stenciled aircraft forms (e. g. , exile, letter). roberta smith likened these works to "the infinite spaces" of edward ruscha and vija celmins and the fictional stamp paintings of donald evans. bordo's 1990s work also included his "speech bubble" and "denim" paintings. the former works employ ghostly, hand-painted, empty speech bubbles set against monochrome white or gun-metal gray backgrounds—an iconic reference to speechlessness during the height of the aids crisis. the "denim" works employ stenciled bootprints on blue monochromes and consider themes involving mapping, walking, cruising, and queering of the field of painting.
postcard paintings and landscape abstractions bordo began exploring motifs involving abstracted landscape, the presentation of sublime space, and human archiving and recall of image memories in the late 1990s. in solo shows at alexander and bonin (1999 and 2002), he exhibited wide-format paintings featuring small, rectangular landscape abstractions derived from picture postcards his mother had collected. he rendered the images in quiet, carefully limited palettes and a no-frills manner without descriptive detail, then overlapped them in loose grids or clustered constellations over unmodulated, matte grounds (e. g. , lookout, 1999; back seat, 2003). reviews compared the paintings to work by robert ryman or the "foggy infinitude of agnes martin and mark rothko.
" new york times critic grace glueck termed them reticent "mindscapes"—generalized impressions of landscape that others equated to links in the associative chain of private thought and emotions, elusively suggesting the possibility of resolution into coherent subjects or sites. with exhibitions at alexander and bonin, rubicon gallery (dublin) and mummery + schnelle (london) between 2005 and 2009, bordo departed from multi-image postcard works, producing some of his most, understated, abstract paintings. in simple, frontal works, he distilled a sense of light, space and place into a minimum of color and surface incident—brushy, wet-into-wet stretches of mint, blue or taupe overlaid with dots, daubs, tiny brushstrokes, or slabs—pushing the limits of suggestive representation (e. g. , another day, 2005).
art in america'''s stephen maine wrote that the "muted colors and veiled imagery" evoked an understated theatrical quality of intrigue that prompted viewers "to hang on every painterly syllable … drawn into what seems like an artworld subplot. " later paintings such as heatwave and green girl (both 2008) consisted simply of free, seemingly casual, lyrical brushstrokes, applied in blended colors over a monochrome ground. reviews of both shows noted the work's strong connection with nature, in palette and atmospherics, despite the high degree of abstraction. later series: windshield, rear-view mirror and "crackup" paintings bordo's paintings in the 2010s displayed a new sense of anxiety, reflecting issues such as the dramatic political polarization in the u. s. and climate change.
artforum's barry schwabsky wrote that these paintings left behind the more delicate, lyrical touch of the landscape works, "evince[ing] a gustonesque brusqueness and spleen… with a blunter, more robust facture and a more implacable presence. " this somewhat larger work was more explicitly structured by its imagery—often car windshields and rear-view mirrors, which served as metaphors for consciousness and movement in space and time, forward and backward (e. g. , rear-view, 2011; wacko, 2012). in the "windshield" paintings, bordo continued to engage characteristic interests in visual and tactile pleasure, flatness and depth, conflating the picture plane with the windscreens of cars often depicted driving through unpredictable, rainy weather with active wipers (e. g. , dial, the future, both 2012). <ref these paintings typically employed a complex sense of space, with overlaps, splits, doublings, changes of scale, and expressive horizontal and vertical lines suggesting journeys anticipated or recalled.
heinrich, will. "robert bordo: three point turn at alexander and bonin," the new york observer, april 2, 2013. roberta smith wrote that the thick, wet-on-wet paint handling, blurred transparencies and fractured spaces of broken center lines and red lights created "an effect that is deliciously and darkly comic, but also abstract and rather ham-handedly beautiful. " in the latter half of the 2010s, bordo developed several offshoots from the windshield paintings. he exhibited loosely painted, abstracted heads rendered with thick, squeegeed paint in "greater new york" (moma ps1, 2015)—closeups of his own worried face, blurred and moving, in eyeglasses and sometimes smoking a cigar—that emerge from rearview mirrors, box forms or rough grids. hirsch, faye, "greater new york," art in america, december 8. 2015. his "skinny jeans" paintings (2016) developed out of the self-portraits, as he simultaneously saw the eyeglasses in them as back pockets on jeans.
he created the paintings by scraping outlined forms out of dark monochrome surfaces with a palette knife, revealing lines of bright underpainting. writers described them as both humorous and homoerotic examinations of looking and being looked at, desire and mortality, that refer back to the queer abstraction of his "denim" paintings. in 2019 at bortolami, bordo exhibited his "crackup" paintings, which drew upon prior series by employing monochrome grounds and lines incised into wet, oil surfaces that appeared like broken window panes. they depict dark holes on their surfaces, surrounded by spidery cracks that seemingly threaten to shatter further. the show included nine canvases in moody greens and blues, ranging from imposing (seven feet tall) to intimate (twenty inches), that reflected a contemporary, contentious political climate. awards and collections bordo has been recognized with a guggenheim fellowship (2007), robert de niro sr.

several scholars have posited that josquin wrote the song to either honour or make fun of his colleague at the house of sforza, an italian court singer named carlo grillo. the frottole libro tertio, published by ottaviano petrucci in 1505, is the only contemporaneous source of el grillo. it received considerably little attention from modern musicologists until 1931, when it was included in geschichte der musik in beispielen by arnold schering. analysis the song is scored for four voices. written from a third-person perspective, el grillo concerns the cricket. the opening section is about the cricket's lengthy song, while the second one compares crickets and songbirds. the song concludes by suggesting that crickets may be better singers than songbirds, particularly because they sing all the time, rain or shine. the song contains both homophony and onomatopoeia, with its rhythm mimicking a cricket's mannerisms.
uncharacteristically for a frottola, the ripresa of the poetic lines mostly have seven syllables, whereas the piedi and volta have eight. according to musicologist jaap van benthem, the number of notes in the ripresa (88) spells "des prez" in gematria, while the 99 notes in the volta spell "josquin". legacy el grillo is considered one of josquin's most popular works. willem elders calls it "one of the most brilliant songs of the late fifteenth century", while richard sherr describes it as a "delightful jokey little piece. " henry vyverberg writes that it "represents the frottola at its most attractive. nannie webb curtis (, austin; after first marriage, webb; after second marriage, curtis; june 22, 1861 - march 29, 1920) was an american lecturer, temperance activist, widely-known clubwoman. she wrote essays on the topic and edited a magazine.

it was introduced in the aftermath of the yugoslav wars, but has never been used. if invoked, it would require eu member states to accept refugees as allocated based on their capacity to host them, following a principle of solidarity and a "balance of efforts" among member states. officials have proposed invoking the directive multiple times since it was passed. on 1 march 2022, eu home affairs commissioner ylva johansson expressed hope that it would be invoked in response to the refugee crisis caused by the russian invasion of ukraine. origins the directive was passed in 2001 in the aftermath of the yugoslav wars. the directive has been in effect since 7 august 2001, but it has never been triggered. details the temporary protection directive aims to harmonize european union policies with respect to displaced people and increase solidarity and collaboration between member states in a refugee crisis.
the directive discusses procedures for triggering and ending temporary protection, rights of people under temporary protection, and special provisions for specific categories of people (survivors of trauma, unaccompanied minors, and potential security threats). temporary protection, which is distinct from asylum, can last up to three years depending on circumstances. people under temporary protection can obtain a residence permit without the complicated bureaucracy normally associated with seeking asylum. they are allowed to work and access social welfare, and are entitled to protection throughout the eu. children must be allowed to access education the same way as eu residents. to invoke the directive, the european commission would need to make a proposal to member states, and a qualified majority of the council of the european union (generally at least 55% of eu countries, representing at least 65% of the bloc's population) would need to vote in favor.
the directive is intended to be invoked in the event of a "mass influx" of refugees; the definition of "mass influx" is left vague and meant to be defined on a case-by-case basis, in order to allow flexibility in its application. when invoked, the directive would compel all member states (except denmark, which has an opt-out clause) to accept refugees, issue residence permits, minimize red tape, and take other steps to assist displaced people. refugees would be distributed among member states on a voluntary basis, based on member states' capacity to host them. the directive originally did not apply to ireland due to its opt-out clause, but on 11 april 2003, the irish government stated its desire to opt in, which was accepted by the european commission. however, as of 2016 the irish government has not transposed the directive. proposals for use or repeal though the directive has never been invoked, its possible use has sometimes been discussed.
in 2011, the eu received more than 300,000 refugees, partly due to the first libyan civil war. the italian and maltese governments argued for using the tpd, and the european commission discussed invoking it to address tension between italy and france over their differing refugee policies. however, the directive was not invoked, partly due to opposition from the german government. amid the 2015 european refugee crisis, the unhcr, some members of the european parliament, and activists called for the directive to be invoked. eu foreign policy official josep borrell discussed the possibility of invoking the directive in 2021 to aid afghan refugees following the united states military's withdrawal from afghanistan. the directive has also been discussed as a response to the 2022 ukrainian refugee crisis. on 27 february 2022, eu ministers asked home affairs commissioner ylva johansson to prepare plans for invoking the directive.
however, anders ygeman and mattias tesfaye, migration ministers from sweden and denmark respectively, said that they did not yet think the directive was merited. gérald darmanin has announced plans to propose invoking the directive at a meeting on 3 march 2022. there has been discussion of the directive in the context of climate refugees, but it is thought that it would probably not be applicable due to the gradual nature of climate change. possibility of repeal in 2020, a proposed regulation stated that the temporary protection directive "no longer responds to member states’ current reality" and should be repealed. john koo, lecturer in eu law at london south bank university, has argued that the directive benefits neither eu member states nor refugees themselves, and that its mechanisms contain problems. masuka is a surname. torgovaya square is the central square of the of russian town ustyuzhna in vologda oblast.

since 1920, during the russian civil war, she worked as a librarian on the тurkestan front, and in the agit-train of the cavalry brigade, she met the commissar, georgy malenkov. in 1920, she married him (though without official registration until her death, and the preservation of her maiden name) and joined the communist party of the soviet union. after moving to moscow in 1921, golubtsova got a job at the organizing department of the central committee at got a separate room in the loskutnaya hotel on тverskaya street— the center of the moscow communist bohemia. malenkov then entered the bauman moscow state technical university (the couple decided to graduate one-by-one). from 1928 to 1930, she worked as a standardizer at the moscow metallurgical plant. in 1930, at the direction of the party organization, golubtsova entered the moscow power engineering institute, where, as a student, she took the post of secretary of the institute organization of the cpsu.
after graduating in 1934, she worked as an engineer at the dynamo plant until 1936. in 1936, she entered the graduate school of the moscow power engineering institute, but was interrupted in 1938 due to giving birth to two sons. during the great patriotic war, from 1941 to 1942, golubtsova was evacuated with her family to samara, where she worked as an instructor in the samara regional committee of the cpsu, responsible for the aviation and electrical industries. for the work con commissioning the evacuated factories at a rapid pace, general quarters, and start-up of enterprises, and fulfillment of the plan at all costs, golubtsova was awarded the order of the red banner of labour. in 1942, she returned to moscow. on 3 june 1943, golubtsova, an assistant at the department of cable engineering, was appointed director of the moscow order of lenin of the v. m. molotov power engineering institute. she was the director of the university until 4 january 1952.
as the director of the mei beginning to lead the mpei, golubtsova knew the institute well, since she herself graduated from it, studied at its graduate school, and, during her studies, was repeatedly elected to the party bureau of the institute. she knew the teaching staff, the party, komsomol, trade union activists, the traditions, and the material base of the institute. in turn, she was well known in the circles of the top party and state leadership of the country, as well as the leadership of the electric and thermal power industry, among which were mpei graduates alexei pavlenko, dmitry zhimerin, and аnatoly petrakovsky. in the position of the director of the institute, golubtsova did a lot to expand the institute and increase its scientific potential. those who knew her at work noted her ability to see the future and the ability to organize people to solve tasks.
according to boris chertok's memoirs about golubtsova during the great patriotic war:she assumed full responsibility, removed the confused director from the leadership, and organized, as far as possible, a normal evacuation and then the continuation of the educational activities of the institute in a new place. <. . . > after the war, golubtsova, as director, showed exceptional activity in the construction of new educational buildings, a pilot plant, the expansion of the laboratory and research base, the construction of a palace of culture, a hostel and residential buildings for professors and teachers. largely thanks to her energy, combined with her proximity to the highest authorities of the country, a whole town of the moscow power engineering institute grew up in the area of krasnokazarmennaya street. <. . . > god generously endowed her with organizational talent. the sensitivity inherent in women helped her to unite the efforts of all scientists of the institute with a minimum of contradictions.
