Constance Maynard Constance Louisa Maynard ( 9 February 1849 – 26 March 1935 ) was the first principal of Westfield College ( 1882–1913 ) and a pioneer of womens education . She was the first woman to read Moral Sciences ( philosophy ) at the University of Cambridge . Early life . Constance Maynard was born in 1849 in Highbury , Middlesex to an upper-middle-class family . She was one of four daughters and two sons of Henry Maynard ( 1780-1888 ) a South African merchant , and his wife Louisa née Hillyard ( 1806-1878 ) . She grew up in Hawkhurst , Kent , in the house of Oakfield . Her two brothers attended boarding school , while she and her sisters were educated at home by governesses , except for one year at Belstead School in Suffolk . When their education was considered complete , she and her sisters cared for her invalid mother and did charitable work . Studies of Maynards autobiography reveal that she suppressed her carnal desires to achieve salvation . Education and career . In 1872 at the age of 23 , Constance Maynard enrolled at Hitchin College for women which was affiliated with the University of Cambridge and was to become Girton College in 1873 . She was the first woman to study the Moral Sciences tripos and in 1875 received the equivalent of a second class honours degree . After leaving Girton , due to a temporary crisis in the family business , Constance Maynard was allowed to accept an invitation from Assistant Mistress Frances Dove to join the staff of Cheltenham Ladies College . In 1877 she left with her colleague and friend Louisa Lumsden to establish St Leonards School , at St Andrews , where Lumsden was head . During her three years ( 1877-1880 ) here , she rejected offers of headships , including that of her former school Belstead . She also refused a marriage proposal from Scottish Minister Dr James Robertson . In 1880 she moved to London with her brother and studied part-time at the Slade School of Fine Art . Whilst studying there she became involved with a group of individuals including Major Charles Hamilton Malan , Ann Dudin Brown and Caroline Cavendish , with the shared aim of establishing a ladies college . Constance Maynard was an integral part of forming the plans for her ideal college - to prepare ladies for the London degree , based on Christian principles . The group first met for discussions in February 1882 , and in May Constance Maynard was offered the position of Mistress ( a title borrowed from Girton ) . The rapid progress was possible because the Petrie family had introduced Ann Dudin Brown who funded the colleges foundation.← In October 1882 Westfield College opened in two private houses in Hampstead . It was one of the first higher education institutions for women in England and one of the first in which women could gain degrees . Constance Maynard remained Mistress of Westfield for 33 years , retiring in 1913 . She had taught around 500 students , and many were successful working in schools , colleges and for missionary organisations . She kept in close contact with her old students through letters and visits , and maintained strong relationships with them . The money they collected as a parting gift she donated to the college ; some was used as a hardship fund , the remainder as endowment for the Maynard divinity lectures ( from 1915 , later the Maynard-Chapman Divinity Lectures ) . In 1888 Maynard adopted a child through a friend in the Salvation Army . At the time of her adoption Stephanë Anthon , known as Effie , was eight years old , and the relationship between them was a difficult one . Whilst Constance continued to support Effie until her death in 1915 , from tuberculosis , it is detailed in her diaries as a period of disappointment . Religious movements such as the Salvation Army figured prominently in the life of Constance Maynard . She was elected as old students representative to the governing body of Girton College and served from 1897 to about 1905 on the council of the Church Schools Society . After her retirement , Constance Maynard spent her time travelling , receiving visitors , reading and writing . She wrote poetry , religious lectures and pamphlets of a moral or spiritual nature .

Who was the spouse of Robert Hossein before Aug 1957?
/wiki/Robert_Hossein#P26#0
Robert Hossein Robert Hossein ( 30 December 1927 – 31 December 2020 ) was a French film actor , director , and writer . He directed the 1982 adaptation of Les Misérables , and appeared in Vice and Virtue , Le Casse , Les Uns et les Autres and Venus Beauty Institute . His other roles include Michèle Merciers husband in the Angélique series , a gunfighter in the Spaghetti Western Cemetery Without Crosses ( which he also directed and co-wrote ) , and a Catholic priest who falls in love with Claude Jade and becomes a communist in Forbidden Priests . Cinematic career . Hossein started directing films in 1955 with Les Salauds vont en enfer , from a story by Frédéric Dard whose novels and plays went on to furnish Hossein with much of his later film material . Right from the start Hossein established his characteristic trademarks : using a seemingly straightforward suspense plot and subverting its conventions ( sometimes to the extent of a complete disregard of the traditional demand for a final twist or revelation ) in order to concentrate on ritualistic relationships . This is the directors running preoccupation which is always stressed in his films by an extraordinary command of film space and often striking frame compositions where the geometry of human figures and set design is used to accentuate the psychological set-up of the scene . The mechanisms of guilt and the way it destroys relationships is another recurring theme , presumably influenced by Hosseins lifelong interest in the works of Dostoyevsky . In 1967 , he was a member of the jury of the 5th Moscow International Film Festival . His 1982 film Les Misérables was entered into the 13th Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Special Prize . Although Hossein had some modest international successes with films like Toi , le venin and The Vampire of Düsseldorf , he was much singled out for scorching criticism by the critics and followers of the New Wave for the unashamedly melodramatic frameworks of his films . The fact that he was essentially an auteur director with a consistent set of themes and an extraordinary mastery of original and unusual approaches to staging his stories , was never appreciated . He was not averse to trying his hand at widely different genres and was never defeated , making the strikingly different Spaghetti Western Cemetery Without Crosses and the low-budgeted but daringly subversive period drama I Killed Rasputin . However , because of the lack of wider success and continuing adverse criticism , Hossein virtually ended his film directing career in 1970 , having concentrated on theatre where his achievements were never questioned , and subsequently returning to film directing only twice . With two or three exceptions , his films remain commercially unavailable and very difficult to see . Personal life . Robert Hosseins father was André Hossein , a composer of Iranian Azerbaijani origin , and his mother was Anna Mincovschi , a Jewish comedy actress from Soroca ( Bessarabia ) . He was married three times : first to Marina Vlady ( then Marina Poliakoff ; on 23 December 1955 , they had two sons , Pierre and Igor ) , later on 7 June 1962 , to Caroline Eliacheff , daughter of Françoise Giroud ( they had a son , Nicholas , who became rabbi Aaron Eliacheff ) . She was fifteen at the time and he was 34 . In 1973 , he dated for a short while Michèle Watrin , before she died the following year in a car accident . In 1976 , he married actress Candice Patou , with whom he had a son . Religion . Nearing the age of fifty , Hossein was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church . According to an article written by Emannuel Peze , Hossein experienced a conversion to Catholicism in 1971 during a visit to the Marian apparition at San Damiano in Lombard , Italy . In 2007 , he presented a play entitled Do Not be Afraid ( Nayez pas peur ) of the life of Pope John Paul II . He had a special devotion to Saint Therese of Lisieux . Death . Hossein died of COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in France on 31 December 2020 , one day after his 93rd birthday . Honours . - : Commander of the Légion dhonneur , 2005 Foreign honours . - : Commander of the Order of Cultural Merit ( 2006 ) Member of Eurasian Academy ( 2016 ) .

University of Maryland College of Information Studies was officially named what in late 1960s?
/wiki/University_of_Maryland_College_of_Information_Studies#P1448#0
University of Maryland College of Information Studies The College of Information Studies ( Marylands iSchool ) is a school within the University of Maryland , College Park in Maryland , United States . The College offers graduate study leading to the Master of Library and Information Science ( MLIS ) , the Master of Information Management ( MIM ) , the Master of Science in Human Computer Interaction ( HCIM ) , and the Doctor of Philosophy ( Ph.D. ) in Information Studies . In addition , it offers an undergraduate degree , the Bachelor of Science in Information Science . The College of Information Studies focuses on creating new designs and addressing issues involving Information Management . History . The iSchool was founded in 1965 with Paul Wasserman as its first dean . Wasserman , a former military man who was part of the Invasion of Normandy , held the post for 5 years . Wasserman was very supportive of research and the school became the first Information school to require a technology course . Wasserman saw technology as a tool for information management . Wasserman was a librarian , and his broad vision helped the program get on its feet . He was constantly traveling and recruiting international faculty members and students . Wasserman would later write an autobiography which is available at McKeldin Library . The schools original name was the School of Library and Information Services and by 1972 it had established its location in Hornbake Librarys South Wing . The school attained full accreditation from the American Library Association ( it has never lost its accreditation ) in 1966 and the first PhD students were in 1967 . In 1991 the school had a major crisis as it was very close to being shut down . In 1993 Ann Prentice became dean of the school . During this time period the University of Marylands Provost prompted a general review of the school and a reexamination of the goals and mission statement . The Provost wanted to promote more innovation , creation , research and services . Therefore , the school went through significant changes as the MLS curriculum was revised and the school started to morph into what it is now , an iSchool . Bruce Dearstyne took over as Interim Dean in 2001 , after Prentice retired , and the transformation continued under his leadership . His signature initiative was introduction of the Master of Information Management program ( MIM ) . In 2005 , Jenny Preece became Dean . Under Preece , the MIM program has grown substantially . In the 2007 school year the MIM program had its highest student body count at 149 . In addition , under Preeces directorship , a new masters program was added , Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction . In the summer of 2015 , Brian Butler took over as interim dean as Jenny Preece stepped down . Keith Marzullo is the new incoming dean from the summer of 2016 . List of Deans . - Paul Wasserman : 1965-1970 - Michael Reynolds ( interim ) : 1970 - James Liesener ( interim ) : 1970-1971 - Margaret Chisholm : 1971-1975 - Henry Duebster ( interim ) - Keith Wright : 1977-1980 - Michael Reynolds ( interim ) - Anne MacLeod ( interim ) - Claude Walston : 1983-1992 - Ann Prentice : 1993-2001 - Bruce Dearstyne ( interim ) : 2001-2005 - Charles Lowry ( interim ) : 2005 - Jenny Preece : 2005–2015 - Brian Butler ( interim ) : 2015-2016 - Keith Marzullo : 2016-onwards Challenges . The iSchool has faced several challenges throughout its history . Crisis of 1991 . In the 1980s there was heated debate over whether Library Schools should be a part of major research-oriented universities . The University of Chicagos Graduate Library School was closed in 1989 and its closing was attributed to the divorce of the Schools research activities from what the profession perceived as its needs for training . Shortly thereafter , in 1990 , Columbia Universitys School of Library Service was closed . There were reports of fierce opposition from tenured faculty to sever ties to all library communities and reorient priorities to support newly emerging information communities as well as deemphasize professionally relevant education and practitioner connections . In 1991 , coupled with the economic downturn ( the University had implemented furloughs as well ) there was a call for the iSchool at Maryland to be shut down . It was proposed that the school became a department rather than a self-standing college . There was a public , open meeting where the issue was debated . The school was given support by Representative Steny Hoyer . In addition , past deans , faculty and alumni were on hand to counter the proposal . Former students spoke up in defense of the program , attributing their successes in public service jobs to the colleges educational programs . The school was able to avoid being shut down . Transition Phase . In the late 1990s and early 2000s ( decade ) , there was a period of transition within the iSchool . There was a general realization that the field was changing and that the business model was changing . With the advent of the Web and search engines there were changes in how information was being gathered and consumed . There would be more of a demand for Information Technology Professionals rather than Librarians . During this time , there was a lot of funding going to the Human Computer Interaction Lab at the University and with the perceived growth of technology the lab was moved into the South wing of Hornbake Library where the iSchool was located . This move caused some tension as the iSchools teaching library was disbanded and in its place faculty offices and research facilities were set up to accommodate the growth of the school . There was a fight to keep the iSchools library - there were protests and petitions but none were fruitful and the library was removed from Hornbake . There was a recognized opportunity to train professionals for the corporate world and so when Dearstyne took over he helped lead the school as it introduced the new MIM program . Some faculty felt like the school was abandoning its ontology and abandoning libraries as an institution . There wasnt necessarily resistance to the MIM but rather to a second masters program in general . The question , not will it be but what will it be defined the debates . Despite initial concerns , the school has seen a steady rise in acceptance and interest . 2007 was a record year for the MIM program in number of students ( 149 ) . In 2009 U.S . News & World Report recognized Maryland’s iSchool as one of the top information schools in the country , ranking it 10th among all public universities Community . As part of a major research university the iSchool has initiated and led many programs both internally and externally that have helped serve the community . Inside the iSchool . HCIL . The Human Computer Interaction Lab , located in the South wing of Hornbake , has had ties with the community for many years . The Information Policy and Access Center ( iPAC ) . The Information Policy and Research Center ( iPAC ) is a research and education facility that explores social , policy , and technology aspects of information access and use across cultural institutions , government agencies , and other information-based organizations ; communities ; and populations . Researchers at iPAC study what policies and/or technologies lead to equitable and inclusive information access , a digitally literate population , and an informed and engaged public . The Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information ( CASCI ) . CASCI is a multidisciplinary network of researchers interested in supporting learning , facilitating innovation , transforming science and scholarship , promoting economic development , and enhancing individual and civic well-being . This network focuses on the facilitation of research and education around technology , information , and organization approaches to help communities realize their potential . The Digital Curation Innovation Center ( DCIC ) . The DCIC is a center focused on education and partnership for research and practice on big archival projects . Specialities include computational and digital archiving bringing together the public , government , and industry for scaled archiving . Privacy Education & Research Lab ( PEARL ) . Dr . Jessica Vitak leads PEARL , which focuses on studying and curating ways for people to manage and understanding their privacy and security in networked contexts including social networking websites and other online communities . Research areas include big data ethics and mobile privacy and surveillance . Ethics and Values in Design Lab ( EViD ) . The EViD lab , led by Dr . Katie Shilton , focuses on the way that ethics and policy affect the design and use of technology . EViD is part of both CASCI and iPAC . Notable Faculty and Accomplishments . - Dr . Diane Barlow helped develop a proposal in 1993 that awarded tuition to women who were part-time students . 6-8 students were chosen and their tuition remitted so they could complete the program . The initiative was part of the schools goal to help provide monetary relief to students during bad economic times . - Dr . Barlow and Dr . Prentice helped initiate a collaboration and exchange program with a Chinese Institution in Beijing . - Dr . Barlow helped expand the schools reach to Shady Grove and now the school has extended its educational reach . - During Prentices deanship there was an increased demand for Library Media Specialists in the state of Maryland . Prince Georges County , Howard County and Montgomery County entered into an agreement with the school where tuition was taken care of for a certain number of students who entered the program . In exchange these students committed to working for the county for a period of time . Outside the iSchool . Research Support . There has been research support for the iSchool from National Science Foundation , Google , IBM , Microsoft , the Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services . Kidsteam . Children , ages 7–11 , work with HCIL faculty/staff/students after school and over the summer to create new technologies for children . Curriculum . Bachelor of Science in Information Science . Started in 2016 , the undergraduate program in Information Science is one of the most recent additions to the undergraduate majors offered at the University of Maryland in College Park . Its goal is to educate students in an interdisciplinary curriculum with aspects from computer science , business , and psychology . In the iSchool , this bachelors program is meant to focus on how information , people , and technology come together within the field of Information Science . Undergraduate students focused on this major will learn skills related to online website development essential to the work force . These skills include database design , web and mobile development , and data analytics . These students will also prepare for leadership and management roles while taking humanities classes and engaging in internships . MLIS . The Master of Library & Information Science Program educates students in the knowledge , skills , habits of thought and inquiry , and ethics of the library and information professions to enable them to be leaders in the state , national , and global information society . The program for the MLIS degree requires 36 credit hours of academic work to be completed with a minimum average of B within five calendar years from the first registration . In the non -thesis option , all credits are coursework . The thesis option requires 30 credits of coursework and six credits of thesis research . The usual and recommended course of study for a full-time student is approximately 18–24 months . As of 2018 , the program offered seven specializations : Archives and Digital Curation , Diversity and Inclusion , Intelligence and Analytics , Legal Informatics , School Library , Youth Experience , and the Individualized Program Plan . In addition , there was a Certificate in Museum Scholarship and Material Culture , and a joint program offering the MLIS alongside a masters degree in history . MIM . The MIM program trains information technology professionals who know how to strategically manage information and technology and who understand the issues of information management , business management , computer science , and information systems . The MIM degree requires 36 credit hours of academic work to be completed with a minimum average of B within five calendar years from the first registration . A unique component of the MIM program is the pair of project courses taken at the end of the coursework . One of the courses involves a team project focused on solving an actual information management project at a real-world organization , and the other is an individual project . Each of these courses carry three credits , and require about 120 hours of work per student over a regular semester of three months . As of 2018 , the program offered six specializations : Data Analytics , Strategic Management , User Experience , Technology Development , Individualized Program Plan , and Information Management Research . HCIM . The Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction degree integrates information studies , computer science , education , psychology and engineering to prepare HCI leaders of the future .

In 1991 the school had a major crisis as it was very close to being shut down . In 1993 Ann Prentice became dean of the school . During this time period the University of Marylands Provost prompted a general review of the school and a reexamination of the goals and mission statement . The Provost wanted to promote more innovation , creation , research and services . Therefore , the school went through significant changes as the MLS curriculum was revised and the school started to morph into what it is now , an iSchool . Bruce Dearstyne took over as Interim Dean in 2001 , after Prentice retired , and the transformation continued under his leadership . His signature initiative was introduction of the Master of Information Management program ( MIM ) . In 2005 , Jenny Preece became Dean . Under Preece , the MIM program has grown substantially . In the 2007 school year the MIM program had its highest student body count at 149 . In addition , under Preeces directorship , a new masters program was added , Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction . In the summer of 2015 , Brian Butler took over as interim dean as Jenny Preece stepped down . Keith Marzullo is the new incoming dean from the summer of 2016 . List of Deans . - Paul Wasserman : 1965-1970 - Michael Reynolds ( interim ) : 1970 - James Liesener ( interim ) : 1970-1971 - Margaret Chisholm : 1971-1975 - Henry Duebster ( interim ) - Keith Wright : 1977-1980 - Michael Reynolds ( interim ) - Anne MacLeod ( interim ) - Claude Walston : 1983-1992 - Ann Prentice : 1993-2001 - Bruce Dearstyne ( interim ) : 2001-2005 - Charles Lowry ( interim ) : 2005 - Jenny Preece : 2005–2015 - Brian Butler ( interim ) : 2015-2016 - Keith Marzullo : 2016-onwards Challenges . The iSchool has faced several challenges throughout its history . Crisis of 1991 . In the 1980s there was heated debate over whether Library Schools should be a part of major research-oriented universities . The University of Chicagos Graduate Library School was closed in 1989 and its closing was attributed to the divorce of the Schools research activities from what the profession perceived as its needs for training . Shortly thereafter , in 1990 , Columbia Universitys School of Library Service was closed . There were reports of fierce opposition from tenured faculty to sever ties to all library communities and reorient priorities to support newly emerging information communities as well as deemphasize professionally relevant education and practitioner connections . In 1991 , coupled with the economic downturn ( the University had implemented furloughs as well ) there was a call for the iSchool at Maryland to be shut down . It was proposed that the school became a department rather than a self-standing college . There was a public , open meeting where the issue was debated . The school was given support by Representative Steny Hoyer . In addition , past deans , faculty and alumni were on hand to counter the proposal . Former students spoke up in defense of the program , attributing their successes in public service jobs to the colleges educational programs . The school was able to avoid being shut down . Transition Phase . In the late 1990s and early 2000s ( decade ) , there was a period of transition within the iSchool . There was a general realization that the field was changing and that the business model was changing . With the advent of the Web and search engines there were changes in how information was being gathered and consumed . There would be more of a demand for Information Technology Professionals rather than Librarians . During this time , there was a lot of funding going to the Human Computer Interaction Lab at the University and with the perceived growth of technology the lab was moved into the South wing of Hornbake Library where the iSchool was located . This move caused some tension as the iSchools teaching library was disbanded and in its place faculty offices and research facilities were set up to accommodate the growth of the school . There was a fight to keep the iSchools library - there were protests and petitions but none were fruitful and the library was removed from Hornbake . There was a recognized opportunity to train professionals for the corporate world and so when Dearstyne took over he helped lead the school as it introduced the new MIM program . Some faculty felt like the school was abandoning its ontology and abandoning libraries as an institution . There wasnt necessarily resistance to the MIM but rather to a second masters program in general . The question , not will it be but what will it be defined the debates . Despite initial concerns , the school has seen a steady rise in acceptance and interest . 2007 was a record year for the MIM program in number of students ( 149 ) . In 2009 U.S . News & World Report recognized Maryland’s iSchool as one of the top information schools in the country , ranking it 10th among all public universities Community . As part of a major research university the iSchool has initiated and led many programs both internally and externally that have helped serve the community . Inside the iSchool . HCIL . The Human Computer Interaction Lab , located in the South wing of Hornbake , has had ties with the community for many years . The Information Policy and Access Center ( iPAC ) . The Information Policy and Research Center ( iPAC ) is a research and education facility that explores social , policy , and technology aspects of information access and use across cultural institutions , government agencies , and other information-based organizations ; communities ; and populations . Researchers at iPAC study what policies and/or technologies lead to equitable and inclusive information access , a digitally literate population , and an informed and engaged public . The Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information ( CASCI ) . CASCI is a multidisciplinary network of researchers interested in supporting learning , facilitating innovation , transforming science and scholarship , promoting economic development , and enhancing individual and civic well-being . This network focuses on the facilitation of research and education around technology , information , and organization approaches to help communities realize their potential . The Digital Curation Innovation Center ( DCIC ) . The DCIC is a center focused on education and partnership for research and practice on big archival projects . Specialities include computational and digital archiving bringing together the public , government , and industry for scaled archiving . Privacy Education & Research Lab ( PEARL ) . Dr . Jessica Vitak leads PEARL , which focuses on studying and curating ways for people to manage and understanding their privacy and security in networked contexts including social networking websites and other online communities . Research areas include big data ethics and mobile privacy and surveillance . Ethics and Values in Design Lab ( EViD ) . The EViD lab , led by Dr . Katie Shilton , focuses on the way that ethics and policy affect the design and use of technology . EViD is part of both CASCI and iPAC . Notable Faculty and Accomplishments . - Dr . Diane Barlow helped develop a proposal in 1993 that awarded tuition to women who were part-time students . 6-8 students were chosen and their tuition remitted so they could complete the program . The initiative was part of the schools goal to help provide monetary relief to students during bad economic times . - Dr . Barlow and Dr . Prentice helped initiate a collaboration and exchange program with a Chinese Institution in Beijing . - Dr . Barlow helped expand the schools reach to Shady Grove and now the school has extended its educational reach . - During Prentices deanship there was an increased demand for Library Media Specialists in the state of Maryland . Prince Georges County , Howard County and Montgomery County entered into an agreement with the school where tuition was taken care of for a certain number of students who entered the program . In exchange these students committed to working for the county for a period of time . Outside the iSchool . Research Support . There has been research support for the iSchool from National Science Foundation , Google , IBM , Microsoft , the Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services . Kidsteam . Children , ages 7–11 , work with HCIL faculty/staff/students after school and over the summer to create new technologies for children . Curriculum . Bachelor of Science in Information Science . Started in 2016 , the undergraduate program in Information Science is one of the most recent additions to the undergraduate majors offered at the University of Maryland in College Park . Its goal is to educate students in an interdisciplinary curriculum with aspects from computer science , business , and psychology . In the iSchool , this bachelors program is meant to focus on how information , people , and technology come together within the field of Information Science . Undergraduate students focused on this major will learn skills related to online website development essential to the work force . These skills include database design , web and mobile development , and data analytics . These students will also prepare for leadership and management roles while taking humanities classes and engaging in internships . MLIS . The Master of Library & Information Science Program educates students in the knowledge , skills , habits of thought and inquiry , and ethics of the library and information professions to enable them to be leaders in the state , national , and global information society . The program for the MLIS degree requires 36 credit hours of academic work to be completed with a minimum average of B within five calendar years from the first registration . In the non -thesis option , all credits are coursework . The thesis option requires 30 credits of coursework and six credits of thesis research . The usual and recommended course of study for a full-time student is approximately 18–24 months . As of 2018 , the program offered seven specializations : Archives and Digital Curation , Diversity and Inclusion , Intelligence and Analytics , Legal Informatics , School Library , Youth Experience , and the Individualized Program Plan . In addition , there was a Certificate in Museum Scholarship and Material Culture , and a joint program offering the MLIS alongside a masters degree in history . MIM . The MIM program trains information technology professionals who know how to strategically manage information and technology and who understand the issues of information management , business management , computer science , and information systems . The MIM degree requires 36 credit hours of academic work to be completed with a minimum average of B within five calendar years from the first registration . A unique component of the MIM program is the pair of project courses taken at the end of the coursework . One of the courses involves a team project focused on solving an actual information management project at a real-world organization , and the other is an individual project . Each of these courses carry three credits , and require about 120 hours of work per student over a regular semester of three months .

University of Maryland College of Information Studies The College of Information Studies ( Marylands iSchool ) is a school within the University of Maryland , College Park in Maryland , United States . The College offers graduate study leading to the Master of Library and Information Science ( MLIS ) , the Master of Information Management ( MIM ) , the Master of Science in Human Computer Interaction ( HCIM ) , and the Doctor of Philosophy ( Ph.D. ) in Information Studies . In addition , it offers an undergraduate degree , the Bachelor of Science in Information Science . The College of Information Studies focuses on creating new designs and addressing issues involving Information Management . History . The iSchool was founded in 1965 with Paul Wasserman as its first dean . Wasserman , a former military man who was part of the Invasion of Normandy , held the post for 5 years . Wasserman was very supportive of research and the school became the first Information school to require a technology course . Wasserman saw technology as a tool for information management . Wasserman was a librarian , and his broad vision helped the program get on its feet . He was constantly traveling and recruiting international faculty members and students . Wasserman would later write an autobiography which is available at McKeldin Library . The schools original name was the School of Library and Information Services and by 1972 it had established its location in Hornbake Librarys South Wing .

What organization or association or team did Holy See join in Jun 1973?
/wiki/Holy_See#P463#0
Holy See The Holy See ( , ; ) , also called the See of Rome , is the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome , known as the Pope , which includes the apostolic episcopal see of the Diocese of Rome with universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the worldwide Catholic Church , as well as a sovereign entity of international law , governing the Vatican City . According to Catholic tradition it was founded in the first century by Saints Peter and Paul and , by virtue of Petrine and papal primacy , is the focal point of full communion for Catholic Christians around the world . As a sovereign entity , the Holy See is headquartered in , operates from , and exercises exclusive dominion over the independent Vatican City State enclave in Rome , of which the pope is sovereign . It is organized into polities of the Latin Church and the 23 Eastern Catholic Churches , and their dioceses and religious institutes . The Holy See is administered by the Roman Curia ( Latin for Court ) , which is the central government of the Catholic Church . The Roman Curia includes various dicasteries , comparable to ministries and executive departments , with the Cardinal Secretary of State as its chief administrator . Papal elections are carried out by the College of Cardinals . Although the Holy See is sometimes metonymically referred to as the Vatican , the Vatican City State was distinctively established with the Lateran Treaty of 1929 , between the Holy See and Italy , to ensure the temporal , diplomatic , and spiritual independence of the papacy . As such , papal nuncios , who are papal diplomats to states and international organizations , are recognized as representing the Holy See , and not the Vatican City State , as prescribed in the Canon law of the Catholic Church . The Holy See is thus viewed as the central government of the Catholic Church . The Catholic Church , in turn , is the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world . The diplomatic status of the Holy See facilitates the access of its vast international network of charities . The Holy See maintains bilateral diplomatic relations with 183 sovereign states , signs concordats and treaties , and performs multilateral diplomacy with multiple intergovernmental organizations , including the United Nations and its agencies , the Council of Europe , the European Communities , the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe , and the Organization of American States . Terminology . The word see comes from the Latin word sedes , meaning seat , which refers to the episcopal throne ( cathedra ) . The term Apostolic See can refer to any see founded by one of the Twelve Apostles , but , when used with the definite article , it is used in the Catholic Church to refer specifically to the see of the Bishop of Rome , whom that Church sees as the successor of Saint Peter . While Saint Peters Basilica in Vatican City is perhaps the church most associated with the papacy , the actual cathedral of the Holy See is the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in the city of Rome . Every see is considered holy . In Greek , the adjective holy or sacred ( transliterated as hiera ) is constantly applied to all such sees as a matter of course . In the West , the adjective is not commonly added , but it does form part of an official title of two sees : besides the Holy See , the Bishopric of Mainz ( the former Archbishopric of Mainz , which was also of electoral and primatial rank ) bears the title of the Holy See of Mainz ( Latin : Sancta Sedes Moguntina ) . History . The apostolic see of Diocese of Rome was established in the 1st century by Saint Peter and Saint Paul , then the capital of the Roman Empire , according to Catholic tradition . The legal status of the Catholic Church and its property was recognised by the Edict of Milan in 313 by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great , and it became the state church of the Roman Empire by the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 by Emperor Theodosius I . After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 , the temporal legal jurisdisction of the papal primacy was further recognised as promulgated in Canon law . The Holy See was granted territory in Duchy of Rome by the Donation of Sutri in 728 of King Liutprand of the Lombards , and sovereignty by the Donation of Pepin in 756 by King Pepin of the Franks . The Papal States thus held extensive territory and armed forces in 756–1870 . Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Roman Emperor by translatio imperii in 800 . The popes temporal power peaked around the time of the papal coronations of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire from 858 , and the Dictatus papae in 1075 , which conversely also described Papal deposing power . Several modern states still trace their own sovereignty to recognition in medieval papal bulls . The sovereignty of the Holy See was retained despite multiple sacks of Rome during the Early Middle Ages . Yet , relations with the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy Roman Empire were at times strained , reaching from the Diploma Ottonianum and Libellus de imperatoria potestate in urbe Roma regarding the Patrimony of Saint Peter in the 10th century , to the Investiture Controversy in 1076–1122 , and settled again by the Concordat of Worms in 1122 . The exiled Avignon Papacy during 1309–1376 also put a strain on the Papacy , which however finally returned to Rome . Pope Innocent X was critical of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 as it weakened the authority of the Holy See throughout much of Europe . Following the French Revolution , the Papal States were briefly occupied as the Roman Republic from 1798 to 1799 as a sister republic of the First French Empire under Napoleon , before their territory was reestablished . Notwithstanding , the Holy See was represented in and identified as a permanent subject of general customary international law vis-à-vis all states in the Congress of Vienna ( 1814–1815 ) . The Papal States were recognised under the rule of the Papacy and largely restored to their former extent . Despite the Capture of Rome in 1870 by the Kingdom of Italy and the Roman Question during the Savoyard era ( which made the pope a prisoner in the Vatican from 1870 to 1929 ) , its international legal subject was constituted by the ongoing reciprocity of diplomatic relationships that not only were maintained but multiplied . The Lateran Treaty on 11 February 1929 between the Holy See and Italy recognised Vatican City as an independent city-state , along with extraterritorial properties around the region . Since then , Vatican City is distinct from yet under full ownership , exclusive dominion , and sovereign authority and jurisdiction of the Holy See ( ) . Organization . The Holy See is one of the last remaining seven absolute monarchies in the world , along with Saudi Arabia , Eswatini ( Swaziland ) , United Arab Emirates , Qatar , Brunei and Oman . The pope governs the Catholic Church through the Roman Curia . The Curia consists of a complex of offices that administer church affairs at the highest level , including the Secretariat of State , nine Congregations , three Tribunals , eleven Pontifical Councils , and seven Pontifical Commissions . The Secretariat of State , under the Cardinal Secretary of State , directs and coordinates the Curia . The incumbent , Cardinal Pietro Parolin , is the Sees equivalent of a prime minister . Archbishop Paul Gallagher , Secretary of the Section for Relations with States of the Secretariat of State , acts as the Holy Sees minister of foreign affairs . Parolin was named in his role by Pope Francis on 31 August 2013 . The Secretariat of State is the only body of the Curia that is situated within Vatican City . The others are in buildings in different parts of Rome that have extraterritorial rights similar to those of embassies . Among the most active of the major Curial institutions are the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , which oversees the Catholic Churchs doctrine ; the Congregation for Bishops , which coordinates the appointment of bishops worldwide ; the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples , which oversees all missionary activities ; and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace , which deals with international peace and social issues . Three tribunals exercise judicial power . The Roman Rota handles normal judicial appeals , the most numerous being those that concern alleged nullity of marriage . The Apostolic Signatura is the supreme appellate and administrative court concerning decisions even of the Roman Rota and administrative decisions of ecclesiastical superiors ( bishops and superiors of religious institutes ) , such as closing a parish or removing someone from office . It also oversees the work of other ecclesiastical tribunals at all levels . The Apostolic Penitentiary deals not with external judgments or decrees , but with matters of conscience , granting absolutions from censures , dispensations , commutations , validations , condonations , and other favors ; it also grants indulgences . The Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See coordinates the finances of the Holy See departments and supervises the administration of all offices , whatever be their degree of autonomy , that manage these finances . The most important of these is the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See . The Prefecture of the Papal Household is responsible for the organization of the papal household , audiences , and ceremonies ( apart from the strictly liturgical part ) . The Holy See does not dissolve upon a popes death or resignation . It instead operates under a different set of laws sede vacante . During this interregnum , the heads of the dicasteries of the Curia ( such as the prefects of congregations ) cease immediately to hold office , the only exceptions being the Major Penitentiary , who continues his important role regarding absolutions and dispensations , and the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church , who administers the temporalities ( i.e. , properties and finances ) of the See of St . Peter during this period . The government of the See , and therefore of the Catholic Church , then falls to the College of Cardinals . Canon law prohibits the College and the Camerlengo from introducing any innovations or novelties in the government of the Church during this period . In 2001 , the Holy See had a revenue of 422.098 billion Italian lire ( about US$202 million at the time ) , and a net income of 17.720 billion Italian lire ( about US$8 million ) . According to an article by David Leigh in the Guardian newspaper , a 2012 report from the Council of Europe identified the value of a section of the Vaticans property assets as an amount in excess of €680m ( £570m ) ; as of January 2013 , Paolo Mennini , a papal official in Rome , manages this portion of the Holy Sees assets—consisting of British investments , other European holdings and a currency trading arm . The Guardian newspaper described Mennini and his role in the following manner : .. . Paolo Mennini , who is in effect the popes merchant banker . Mennini heads a special unit inside the Vatican called the extraordinary division of APSA – Amministrazione del Patrimonio della Sede Apostolica – which handles the patrimony of the Holy See . The Orders , decorations , and medals of the Holy See are conferred by the pope as temporal sovereign and fons honorum of the Holy See , similar to the orders awarded by other heads of state . Status in international law . The Holy See has been recognized , both in state practice and in the writing of modern legal scholars , as a subject of public international law , with rights and duties analogous to those of States . Although the Holy See , as distinct from the Vatican City State , does not fulfill the long-established criteria in international law of statehood—having a permanent population , a defined territory , a stable government , and the capacity to enter into relations with other states—its possession of full legal personality in international law is shown by the fact that it maintains diplomatic relations with 180 states , that it is a member-state in various intergovernmental international organizations , and that it is : respected by the international community of sovereign States and treated as a subject of international law having the capacity to engage in diplomatic relations and to enter into binding agreements with one , several , or many states under international law that are largely geared to establish and preserving peace in the world . Diplomacy . Since medieval times the episcopal see of Rome has been recognized as a sovereign entity . The Holy See ( not the State of Vatican City ) maintains formal diplomatic relations with and for the most recent establishment of diplomatic relations with sovereign states , and also with the European Union , and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta , as well as having relations of a special character with the Palestine Liberation Organization ; 69 of the diplomatic missions accredited to the Holy See are situated in Rome . The Holy See maintains 180 permanent diplomatic missions abroad , of which 74 are non-residential , so that many of its 106 concrete missions are accredited to two or more countries or international organizations . The diplomatic activities of the Holy See are directed by the Secretariat of State ( headed by the Cardinal Secretary of State ) , through the Section for Relations with States . There are 13 internationally recognized states with which the Holy See does not have relations . The Holy See is the only European subject of international law that has diplomatic relations with the government of the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) as representing China , rather than the government of the Peoples Republic of China ( see Holy See–Taiwan relations ) . The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office speaks of Vatican City as the capital of the Holy See , although it compares the legal personality of the Holy See to that of the Crown in Christian monarchies and declares that the Holy See and the state of Vatican City are two international identities . It also distinguishes between the employees of the Holy See ( 2,750 working in the Roman Curia with another 333 working in the Holy Sees diplomatic missions abroad ) and the 1,909 employees of the Vatican City State . The British Ambassador to the Holy See uses more precise language , saying that the Holy See is not the same as the Vatican City State . … ( It ) is the universal government of the Catholic Church and operates from the Vatican City State . This agrees exactly with the expression used by the website of the United States Department of State , in giving information on both the Holy See and the Vatican City State : it too says that the Holy See operates from the Vatican City State . The Holy See is a member of various international organizations and groups including the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) , International Telecommunication Union , the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OSCE ) , the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons ( OPCW ) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ) . The Holy See is also a permanent observer in various international organizations , including the United Nations General Assembly , the Council of Europe , UNESCO ( United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization ) , the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) , and the Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) . Relationship with the Vatican City and other territories . The Holy See participates as an observer to African Union , Arab League , Council of Europe , Organization of American States , International Organization for Migration , and in the United Nations and its agencies FAO , ILO , UNCTAD , UNEP , UNESCO , UN-HABITAT , UNHCR , UNIDO , UNWTO , WFP , WHO , WIPO . It participates as a guest in the Non-Aligned Movement ( NAM ) , and as a full member in IAEA , OPCW , Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OSCE ) . Although the Holy See is closely associated with the Vatican City , the independent territory over which the Holy See is sovereign , the two entities are separate and distinct . After the Italian seizure of the Papal States in 1870 , the Holy See had no territorial sovereignty . In spite of some uncertainty among jurists as to whether it could continue to act as an independent personality in international matters , the Holy See continued in fact to exercise the right to send and receive diplomatic representatives , maintaining relations with states that included the major powers Russia , Prussia , and Austria-Hungary . Where , in accordance with the decision of the 1815 Congress of Vienna , the Nuncio was not only a member of the Diplomatic Corps but its dean , this arrangement continued to be accepted by the other ambassadors . In the course of the 59 years during which the Holy See held no territorial sovereignty , the number of states that had diplomatic relations with it , which had been reduced to 16 , actually increased to 29 . The State of the Vatican City was created by the Lateran Treaty in 1929 to ensure the absolute and visible independence of the Holy See and to guarantee to it indisputable sovereignty in international affairs . Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran , the Holy Sees former Secretary for Relations with States , said that the Vatican City is a minuscule support-state that guarantees the spiritual freedom of the pope with the minimum territory . The Holy See , not the Vatican City , maintains diplomatic relations with states . Foreign embassies are accredited to the Holy See , not to the Vatican City , and it is the Holy See that establishes treaties and concordats with other sovereign entities . When necessary , the Holy See will enter a treaty on behalf of the Vatican City . Under the terms of the Lateran Treaty , the Holy See has extraterritorial authority over various sites in Rome and two Italian sites outside of Rome , including the Pontifical Palace at Castel Gandolfo . The same authority is extended under international law over the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See in a foreign country . Military . Though , like various European powers , earlier popes recruited Swiss mercenaries as part of an army , the Pontifical Swiss Guard was founded by Pope Julius II on 22 January 1506 as the personal bodyguards of the pope and continues to fulfill that function . It is listed in the Annuario Pontificio under Holy See , not under State of Vatican City . At the end of 2005 , the Guard had 134 members . Recruitment is arranged by a special agreement between the Holy See and Switzerland . All recruits must be Catholic , unmarried males with Swiss citizenship who have completed their basic training with the Swiss Armed Forces with certificates of good conduct , be between the ages of 19 and 30 , and be at least 175 cm ( 5 ft 9 in ) in height . Members are armed with small arms and the traditional halberd ( also called the Swiss voulge ) , and trained in bodyguarding tactics . The police force within Vatican City , known as the Corps of Gendarmerie of Vatican City , belongs to the city state , not to the Holy See . Holy See signed the UN treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons , a binding agreement for negotiations for the total elimination of nuclear weapons . Coat of arms . The main difference between the two coats of arms is that the arms of the Holy See have the gold key in bend and the silver key in bend sinister ( as in the sede vacante coat of arms and in the external ornaments of the papal coats of arms of individual popes ) , while the reversed arrangement of the keys was chosen for the arms of the newly founded Vatican City State in 1929 .

The Holy See does not dissolve upon a popes death or resignation . It instead operates under a different set of laws sede vacante . During this interregnum , the heads of the dicasteries of the Curia ( such as the prefects of congregations ) cease immediately to hold office , the only exceptions being the Major Penitentiary , who continues his important role regarding absolutions and dispensations , and the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church , who administers the temporalities ( i.e. , properties and finances ) of the See of St . Peter during this period . The government of the See , and therefore of the Catholic Church , then falls to the College of Cardinals . Canon law prohibits the College and the Camerlengo from introducing any innovations or novelties in the government of the Church during this period . In 2001 , the Holy See had a revenue of 422.098 billion Italian lire ( about US$202 million at the time ) , and a net income of 17.720 billion Italian lire ( about US$8 million ) . According to an article by David Leigh in the Guardian newspaper , a 2012 report from the Council of Europe identified the value of a section of the Vaticans property assets as an amount in excess of €680m ( £570m ) ; as of January 2013 , Paolo Mennini , a papal official in Rome , manages this portion of the Holy Sees assets—consisting of British investments , other European holdings and a currency trading arm . The Guardian newspaper described Mennini and his role in the following manner : .. . Paolo Mennini , who is in effect the popes merchant banker . Mennini heads a special unit inside the Vatican called the extraordinary division of APSA – Amministrazione del Patrimonio della Sede Apostolica – which handles the patrimony of the Holy See . The Orders , decorations , and medals of the Holy See are conferred by the pope as temporal sovereign and fons honorum of the Holy See , similar to the orders awarded by other heads of state . Status in international law . The Holy See has been recognized , both in state practice and in the writing of modern legal scholars , as a subject of public international law , with rights and duties analogous to those of States . Although the Holy See , as distinct from the Vatican City State , does not fulfill the long-established criteria in international law of statehood—having a permanent population , a defined territory , a stable government , and the capacity to enter into relations with other states—its possession of full legal personality in international law is shown by the fact that it maintains diplomatic relations with 180 states , that it is a member-state in various intergovernmental international organizations , and that it is : respected by the international community of sovereign States and treated as a subject of international law having the capacity to engage in diplomatic relations and to enter into binding agreements with one , several , or many states under international law that are largely geared to establish and preserving peace in the world . Diplomacy . Since medieval times the episcopal see of Rome has been recognized as a sovereign entity . The Holy See ( not the State of Vatican City ) maintains formal diplomatic relations with and for the most recent establishment of diplomatic relations with sovereign states , and also with the European Union , and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta , as well as having relations of a special character with the Palestine Liberation Organization ; 69 of the diplomatic missions accredited to the Holy See are situated in Rome . The Holy See maintains 180 permanent diplomatic missions abroad , of which 74 are non-residential , so that many of its 106 concrete missions are accredited to two or more countries or international organizations . The diplomatic activities of the Holy See are directed by the Secretariat of State ( headed by the Cardinal Secretary of State ) , through the Section for Relations with States . There are 13 internationally recognized states with which the Holy See does not have relations . The Holy See is the only European subject of international law that has diplomatic relations with the government of the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) as representing China , rather than the government of the Peoples Republic of China ( see Holy See–Taiwan relations ) . The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office speaks of Vatican City as the capital of the Holy See , although it compares the legal personality of the Holy See to that of the Crown in Christian monarchies and declares that the Holy See and the state of Vatican City are two international identities . It also distinguishes between the employees of the Holy See ( 2,750 working in the Roman Curia with another 333 working in the Holy Sees diplomatic missions abroad ) and the 1,909 employees of the Vatican City State . The British Ambassador to the Holy See uses more precise language , saying that the Holy See is not the same as the Vatican City State . … ( It ) is the universal government of the Catholic Church and operates from the Vatican City State . This agrees exactly with the expression used by the website of the United States Department of State , in giving information on both the Holy See and the Vatican City State : it too says that the Holy See operates from the Vatican City State . The Holy See is a member of various international organizations and groups including the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) , International Telecommunication Union , the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OSCE ) , the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons ( OPCW ) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ) . The Holy See is also a permanent observer in various international organizations , including the United Nations General Assembly , the Council of Europe , UNESCO ( United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization ) , the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) , and the Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) . Relationship with the Vatican City and other territories . The Holy See participates as an observer to African Union , Arab League , Council of Europe , Organization of American States , International Organization for Migration , and in the United Nations and its agencies FAO , ILO , UNCTAD , UNEP , UNESCO , UN-HABITAT , UNHCR , UNIDO , UNWTO , WFP , WHO , WIPO . It participates as a guest in the Non-Aligned Movement ( NAM ) , and as a full member in IAEA , OPCW , Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OSCE ) . Although the Holy See is closely associated with the Vatican City , the independent territory over which the Holy See is sovereign , the two entities are separate and distinct . After the Italian seizure of the Papal States in 1870 , the Holy See had no territorial sovereignty . In spite of some uncertainty among jurists as to whether it could continue to act as an independent personality in international matters , the Holy See continued in fact to exercise the right to send and receive diplomatic representatives , maintaining relations with states that included the major powers Russia , Prussia , and Austria-Hungary . Where , in accordance with the decision of the 1815 Congress of Vienna , the Nuncio was not only a member of the Diplomatic Corps but its dean , this arrangement continued to be accepted by the other ambassadors . In the course of the 59 years during which the Holy See held no territorial sovereignty , the number of states that had diplomatic relations with it , which had been reduced to 16 , actually increased to 29 . The State of the Vatican City was created by the Lateran Treaty in 1929 to ensure the absolute and visible independence of the Holy See and to guarantee to it indisputable sovereignty in international affairs . Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran , the Holy Sees former Secretary for Relations with States , said that the Vatican City is a minuscule support-state that guarantees the spiritual freedom of the pope with the minimum territory . The Holy See , not the Vatican City , maintains diplomatic relations with states . Foreign embassies are accredited to the Holy See , not to the Vatican City , and it is the Holy See that establishes treaties and concordats with other sovereign entities . When necessary , the Holy See will enter a treaty on behalf of the Vatican City . Under the terms of the Lateran Treaty , the Holy See has extraterritorial authority over various sites in Rome and two Italian sites outside of Rome , including the Pontifical Palace at Castel Gandolfo . The same authority is extended under international law over the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See in a foreign country . Military . Though , like various European powers , earlier popes recruited Swiss mercenaries as part of an army , the Pontifical Swiss Guard was founded by Pope Julius II on 22 January 1506 as the personal bodyguards of the pope and continues to fulfill that function . It is listed in the Annuario Pontificio under Holy See , not under State of Vatican City . At the end of 2005 , the Guard had 134 members . Recruitment is arranged by a special agreement between the Holy See and Switzerland . All recruits must be Catholic , unmarried males with Swiss citizenship who have completed their basic training with the Swiss Armed Forces with certificates of good conduct , be between the ages of 19 and 30 , and be at least 175 cm ( 5 ft 9 in ) in height . Members are armed with small arms and the traditional halberd ( also called the Swiss voulge ) , and trained in bodyguarding tactics . The police force within Vatican City , known as the Corps of Gendarmerie of Vatican City , belongs to the city state , not to the Holy See . Holy See signed the UN treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons , a binding agreement for negotiations for the total elimination of nuclear weapons . Coat of arms . The main difference between the two coats of arms is that the arms of the Holy See have the gold key in bend and the silver key in bend sinister ( as in the sede vacante coat of arms and in the external ornaments of the papal coats of arms of individual popes ) , while the reversed arrangement of the keys was chosen for the arms of the newly founded Vatican City State in 1929 .

What organization or association or team did Holy See join in 1957?
/wiki/Holy_See#P463#2
Holy See The Holy See ( , ; ) , also called the See of Rome , is the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome , known as the Pope , which includes the apostolic episcopal see of the Diocese of Rome with universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the worldwide Catholic Church , as well as a sovereign entity of international law , governing the Vatican City . According to Catholic tradition it was founded in the first century by Saints Peter and Paul and , by virtue of Petrine and papal primacy , is the focal point of full communion for Catholic Christians around the world . As a sovereign entity , the Holy See is headquartered in , operates from , and exercises exclusive dominion over the independent Vatican City State enclave in Rome , of which the pope is sovereign . It is organized into polities of the Latin Church and the 23 Eastern Catholic Churches , and their dioceses and religious institutes . The Holy See is administered by the Roman Curia ( Latin for Court ) , which is the central government of the Catholic Church . The Roman Curia includes various dicasteries , comparable to ministries and executive departments , with the Cardinal Secretary of State as its chief administrator . Papal elections are carried out by the College of Cardinals . Although the Holy See is sometimes metonymically referred to as the Vatican , the Vatican City State was distinctively established with the Lateran Treaty of 1929 , between the Holy See and Italy , to ensure the temporal , diplomatic , and spiritual independence of the papacy . As such , papal nuncios , who are papal diplomats to states and international organizations , are recognized as representing the Holy See , and not the Vatican City State , as prescribed in the Canon law of the Catholic Church . The Holy See is thus viewed as the central government of the Catholic Church . The Catholic Church , in turn , is the largest non-government provider of education and health care in the world . The diplomatic status of the Holy See facilitates the access of its vast international network of charities . The Holy See maintains bilateral diplomatic relations with 183 sovereign states , signs concordats and treaties , and performs multilateral diplomacy with multiple intergovernmental organizations , including the United Nations and its agencies , the Council of Europe , the European Communities , the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe , and the Organization of American States . Terminology . The word see comes from the Latin word sedes , meaning seat , which refers to the episcopal throne ( cathedra ) . The term Apostolic See can refer to any see founded by one of the Twelve Apostles , but , when used with the definite article , it is used in the Catholic Church to refer specifically to the see of the Bishop of Rome , whom that Church sees as the successor of Saint Peter . While Saint Peters Basilica in Vatican City is perhaps the church most associated with the papacy , the actual cathedral of the Holy See is the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in the city of Rome . Every see is considered holy . In Greek , the adjective holy or sacred ( transliterated as hiera ) is constantly applied to all such sees as a matter of course . In the West , the adjective is not commonly added , but it does form part of an official title of two sees : besides the Holy See , the Bishopric of Mainz ( the former Archbishopric of Mainz , which was also of electoral and primatial rank ) bears the title of the Holy See of Mainz ( Latin : Sancta Sedes Moguntina ) . History . The apostolic see of Diocese of Rome was established in the 1st century by Saint Peter and Saint Paul , then the capital of the Roman Empire , according to Catholic tradition . The legal status of the Catholic Church and its property was recognised by the Edict of Milan in 313 by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great , and it became the state church of the Roman Empire by the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 by Emperor Theodosius I . After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 , the temporal legal jurisdisction of the papal primacy was further recognised as promulgated in Canon law . The Holy See was granted territory in Duchy of Rome by the Donation of Sutri in 728 of King Liutprand of the Lombards , and sovereignty by the Donation of Pepin in 756 by King Pepin of the Franks . The Papal States thus held extensive territory and armed forces in 756–1870 . Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Roman Emperor by translatio imperii in 800 . The popes temporal power peaked around the time of the papal coronations of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire from 858 , and the Dictatus papae in 1075 , which conversely also described Papal deposing power . Several modern states still trace their own sovereignty to recognition in medieval papal bulls . The sovereignty of the Holy See was retained despite multiple sacks of Rome during the Early Middle Ages . Yet , relations with the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy Roman Empire were at times strained , reaching from the Diploma Ottonianum and Libellus de imperatoria potestate in urbe Roma regarding the Patrimony of Saint Peter in the 10th century , to the Investiture Controversy in 1076–1122 , and settled again by the Concordat of Worms in 1122 . The exiled Avignon Papacy during 1309–1376 also put a strain on the Papacy , which however finally returned to Rome . Pope Innocent X was critical of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 as it weakened the authority of the Holy See throughout much of Europe . Following the French Revolution , the Papal States were briefly occupied as the Roman Republic from 1798 to 1799 as a sister republic of the First French Empire under Napoleon , before their territory was reestablished . Notwithstanding , the Holy See was represented in and identified as a permanent subject of general customary international law vis-à-vis all states in the Congress of Vienna ( 1814–1815 ) . The Papal States were recognised under the rule of the Papacy and largely restored to their former extent . Despite the Capture of Rome in 1870 by the Kingdom of Italy and the Roman Question during the Savoyard era ( which made the pope a prisoner in the Vatican from 1870 to 1929 ) , its international legal subject was constituted by the ongoing reciprocity of diplomatic relationships that not only were maintained but multiplied . The Lateran Treaty on 11 February 1929 between the Holy See and Italy recognised Vatican City as an independent city-state , along with extraterritorial properties around the region . Since then , Vatican City is distinct from yet under full ownership , exclusive dominion , and sovereign authority and jurisdiction of the Holy See ( ) . Organization . The Holy See is one of the last remaining seven absolute monarchies in the world , along with Saudi Arabia , Eswatini ( Swaziland ) , United Arab Emirates , Qatar , Brunei and Oman . The pope governs the Catholic Church through the Roman Curia . The Curia consists of a complex of offices that administer church affairs at the highest level , including the Secretariat of State , nine Congregations , three Tribunals , eleven Pontifical Councils , and seven Pontifical Commissions . The Secretariat of State , under the Cardinal Secretary of State , directs and coordinates the Curia . The incumbent , Cardinal Pietro Parolin , is the Sees equivalent of a prime minister . Archbishop Paul Gallagher , Secretary of the Section for Relations with States of the Secretariat of State , acts as the Holy Sees minister of foreign affairs . Parolin was named in his role by Pope Francis on 31 August 2013 . The Secretariat of State is the only body of the Curia that is situated within Vatican City . The others are in buildings in different parts of Rome that have extraterritorial rights similar to those of embassies . Among the most active of the major Curial institutions are the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , which oversees the Catholic Churchs doctrine ; the Congregation for Bishops , which coordinates the appointment of bishops worldwide ; the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples , which oversees all missionary activities ; and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace , which deals with international peace and social issues . Three tribunals exercise judicial power . The Roman Rota handles normal judicial appeals , the most numerous being those that concern alleged nullity of marriage . The Apostolic Signatura is the supreme appellate and administrative court concerning decisions even of the Roman Rota and administrative decisions of ecclesiastical superiors ( bishops and superiors of religious institutes ) , such as closing a parish or removing someone from office . It also oversees the work of other ecclesiastical tribunals at all levels . The Apostolic Penitentiary deals not with external judgments or decrees , but with matters of conscience , granting absolutions from censures , dispensations , commutations , validations , condonations , and other favors ; it also grants indulgences . The Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See coordinates the finances of the Holy See departments and supervises the administration of all offices , whatever be their degree of autonomy , that manage these finances . The most important of these is the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See . The Prefecture of the Papal Household is responsible for the organization of the papal household , audiences , and ceremonies ( apart from the strictly liturgical part ) . The Holy See does not dissolve upon a popes death or resignation . It instead operates under a different set of laws sede vacante . During this interregnum , the heads of the dicasteries of the Curia ( such as the prefects of congregations ) cease immediately to hold office , the only exceptions being the Major Penitentiary , who continues his important role regarding absolutions and dispensations , and the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church , who administers the temporalities ( i.e. , properties and finances ) of the See of St . Peter during this period . The government of the See , and therefore of the Catholic Church , then falls to the College of Cardinals . Canon law prohibits the College and the Camerlengo from introducing any innovations or novelties in the government of the Church during this period . In 2001 , the Holy See had a revenue of 422.098 billion Italian lire ( about US$202 million at the time ) , and a net income of 17.720 billion Italian lire ( about US$8 million ) . According to an article by David Leigh in the Guardian newspaper , a 2012 report from the Council of Europe identified the value of a section of the Vaticans property assets as an amount in excess of €680m ( £570m ) ; as of January 2013 , Paolo Mennini , a papal official in Rome , manages this portion of the Holy Sees assets—consisting of British investments , other European holdings and a currency trading arm .

In February 2013 , Mayer oversaw a major personnel policy change at Yahoo ! that required all remote-working employees to convert to in-office roles . Having worked from home toward the end of her pregnancy , Mayer returned to work after giving birth to a boy , and built a mothers room next to her office suite—Mayer was consequently criticized for the telecommuting ban .

In September 2013 , it was reported that the stock price of Yahoo ! had doubled over the 14 months since Mayers appointment . However , much of this growth may be attributed to Yahoo s stake in the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group , which was acquired before Mayers tenure .

In February 2016 , Mayer confirmed that Yahoo ! was considering the possibility of selling its core business . In March 2017 , it was reported that Mayer could receive a $23 million termination package upon the sale of Yahoo ! to Verizon . Mayer announced her resignation on June 13 , 2017 . In spite of large losses in advertising revenue at Yahoo ! and a 50% reduction in staff during her 5 years as CEO , Mayer was paid a total of $239 million over that time , mainly in stock and stock options . On the day of her resignation , Mayer publicly highlighted many of the companys achievements during her tenure , including : creating $43B in market capitalization , tripling Yahoo stock , growing mobile users to over 650 million , building a $1.5B mobile ad business , and transforming Yahoos culture . Over Mayers tenure , the number of monthly visits on Yahoos home page went down from nearly 10 billion to less than 4.5 while Googles went up from 17 billion to over 56 . At the time of Mayers hiring , Yahoos numbers had already been falling behind those of Googles for over a year . However , Mayer proved unable to reverse this trend . On 8 November 2017 , along with several other present and former corporate CEOs , Mayer testified before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce , Science , and Transportation regarding major security breaches at Yahoo during 2013 and 2014 . Allegations of gender-based discrimination . Scott Ard , a prominent editorial director , fired from Yahoo ! in 2015 , filed a lawsuit alleging that Mayer encouraged and fostered the use of an employee performance-rating system to accommodate management’s subjective biases and personal opinions , to the detriment of Yahoo!’s male employees . He claimed that , prior to his firing , he had received fully satisfactory performance reviews since starting at the company in 2011 as head of editorial programming for Yahoo s home page ; however , he was relieved of his role , which was given to a woman who had been recently hired . This case was dismissed in March 2018 . An earlier lawsuit was filed by Gregory Anderson , who was fired in 2014 , alleging the company’s performance management system was arbitrary and unfair and disguised layoffs as terminations for the purpose of evading state and federal WARN Acts , making it the first WARN Act and gender discrimination lawsuit Yahoo ! and Mayer faced in 2016 . Sunshine ( 2018–present ) . After leaving Yahoo ! in 2017 , Mayer started Sunshine ( formerly Lumi Labs ) with former colleague Enrique Munoz Torres . The company is based in Palo Alto and is focused on artificial intelligence and consumer media .

At Stanford , she danced in the university ballets Nutcracker , was a member of parliamentary debate , volunteered at childrens hospitals , and helped bring computer science education to Bermudas schools . During her junior year , she taught a class in symbolic systems , with Eric S . Roberts as her supervisor . The class was so well received by students that Roberts asked Mayer to teach another class over the summer . Mayer went on to graduate with honors from Stanford with a BS in symbolic systems in 1997 and an MS in computer science in 1999 . For both degrees , her specialization was in artificial intelligence . For her undergraduate thesis , she built travel-recommendation software that advised users in natural-sounding human language .

She holds several patents in artificial intelligence and interface design . Career . Google ( 1999–2012 ) . After graduating from Stanford , Mayer received 14 job offers , including a teaching job at Carnegie Mellon University and a consulting job at McKinsey & Company . She joined Google in 1999 as employee number 20 . She started out writing code and overseeing small teams of engineers , developing and designing Googles search offerings . She became known for her attention to detail , which helped land her a promotion to product manager , and later she became director of consumer web products . She oversaw the layout of Googles well-known , unadorned search homepage . She was also on the three-person team responsible for Google AdWords , which is an advertising platform that allows businesses to show their product to relevant potential customers based on their search terms . AdWords helped deliver 96% of the companys revenue in the first quarter of 2011 . In 2002 , Mayer started the Associate Product Manager ( APM ) program , a Google mentorship initiative to recruit new talents and cultivate them for leadership roles . Each year , Mayer selected a number of junior employees for the two-year program , where they took on extracurricular assignments and intensive evening classes . Notable graduates of the program include Bret Taylor and Justin Rosenstein . In 2005 , Mayer became Vice President of Search Products and User Experience . Mayer held key roles in Google Search , Google Images , Google News , Google Maps , Google Books , Google Product Search , Google Toolbar , iGoogle , and Gmail . Mayer was the vice president of Google Search Products and User Experience until the end of 2010 , when she was asked by then-CEO Eric Schmidt to head the Local , Maps , and Location Services . In 2011 , she secured Googles acquisition of survey site Zagat for $125 million . While Mayer was working at Google , she taught introductory computer programming at Stanford and mentored students at the East Palo Alto Charter School . She was awarded the Centennial Teaching Award and the Forsythe Award from Stanford . Yahoo ! ( 2012–2017 ) . On July 16 , 2012 , Mayer was appointed president and CEO of Yahoo! , effective the following day . She was also a member of the companys board of directors . At the time of her appointment , Yahoos numbers had been falling behind those of Google for over a year and the company had been through several top management changes . To simplify the bureaucratic process and make the culture the best version of itself , Mayer launched a new online program called PB&J . It collects employee complaints , as well as their votes on problems in the office ; if a problem generates at least 50 votes , online management automatically investigates the matter . In February 2013 , Mayer oversaw a major personnel policy change at Yahoo ! that required all remote-working employees to convert to in-office roles . Having worked from home toward the end of her pregnancy , Mayer returned to work after giving birth to a boy , and built a mothers room next to her office suite—Mayer was consequently criticized for the telecommuting ban . In April 2013 , Mayer changed Yahoo s maternity leave policy , lengthening its time allowance and providing a cash bonus to parents . CNN noted this was in line with other Silicon Valley companies , such as Facebook and Google . Mayer has been criticized for many of her management decisions in pieces by The New York Times and The New Yorker . On May 20 , 2013 , Mayer led Yahoo ! to acquire Tumblr in a $1.1 billion acquisition . In February 2016 , Yahoo ! acknowledged that the value of Tumblr had fallen by $230 million since it was acquired . In July 2013 , Yahoo ! reported a fall in revenues , but a rise in profits compared with the same period in the previous year . Reaction on Wall Street was muted , with shares falling 1.7% . In September 2013 , it was reported that the stock price of Yahoo ! had doubled over the 14 months since Mayers appointment . However , much of this growth may be attributed to Yahoo s stake in the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group , which was acquired before Mayers tenure . In November 2013 , Mayer instituted a performance review system based on a bell curve ranking of employees , suggesting that managers rank their employees on a bell curve , with those at the low end being fired . Employees complained that some managers were viewing the process as mandatory . In February 2016 , a former Yahoo ! employee filed a lawsuit against the company claiming that Yahoos firing practices have violated both California and federal labor laws . In 2014 , Mayer was ranked sixth on Fortunes 40 under 40 list , and was ranked the 16th most-powerful businesswoman in the world that year according to the same publication . In March 2016 Fortune would name Mayer as one of the worlds most disappointing leaders . Yahoo ! stocks continued to fall by more than 30% throughout 2015 , while 12 key executives left the company . In December 2015 , the New York-based hedge fund SpringOwl , a shareholder in Yahoo Inc. , released a statement arguing that Mayer be replaced as CEO . Starboard Value , an activist investing firm that owns a stake in Yahoo , likewise wrote a scathing letter regarding Mayers performance at Yahoo . By January 2016 , it was further estimated that Yahoo s core business has been worth less than zero dollars for the past few quarters . In February 2016 , Mayer confirmed that Yahoo ! was considering the possibility of selling its core business . In March 2017 , it was reported that Mayer could receive a $23 million termination package upon the sale of Yahoo ! to Verizon . Mayer announced her resignation on June 13 , 2017 . In spite of large losses in advertising revenue at Yahoo ! and a 50% reduction in staff during her 5 years as CEO , Mayer was paid a total of $239 million over that time , mainly in stock and stock options . On the day of her resignation , Mayer publicly highlighted many of the companys achievements during her tenure , including : creating $43B in market capitalization , tripling Yahoo stock , growing mobile users to over 650 million , building a $1.5B mobile ad business , and transforming Yahoos culture . Over Mayers tenure , the number of monthly visits on Yahoos home page went down from nearly 10 billion to less than 4.5 while Googles went up from 17 billion to over 56 . At the time of Mayers hiring , Yahoos numbers had already been falling behind those of Googles for over a year . However , Mayer proved unable to reverse this trend . On 8 November 2017 , along with several other present and former corporate CEOs , Mayer testified before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce , Science , and Transportation regarding major security breaches at Yahoo during 2013 and 2014 . Allegations of gender-based discrimination . Scott Ard , a prominent editorial director , fired from Yahoo ! in 2015 , filed a lawsuit alleging that Mayer encouraged and fostered the use of an employee performance-rating system to accommodate management’s subjective biases and personal opinions , to the detriment of Yahoo!’s male employees . He claimed that , prior to his firing , he had received fully satisfactory performance reviews since starting at the company in 2011 as head of editorial programming for Yahoo s home page ; however , he was relieved of his role , which was given to a woman who had been recently hired . This case was dismissed in March 2018 . An earlier lawsuit was filed by Gregory Anderson , who was fired in 2014 , alleging the company’s performance management system was arbitrary and unfair and disguised layoffs as terminations for the purpose of evading state and federal WARN Acts , making it the first WARN Act and gender discrimination lawsuit Yahoo ! and Mayer faced in 2016 . Sunshine ( 2018–present ) . After leaving Yahoo ! in 2017 , Mayer started Sunshine ( formerly Lumi Labs ) with former colleague Enrique Munoz Torres . The company is based in Palo Alto and is focused on artificial intelligence and consumer media . On November 18 , 2020 , Mayer announced that Lumi Labs would be rebranded as Sunshine at the same time as revealing its first product : Sunshine Contacts . Sunshine Contacts claims to improve the users iPhone contacts and Google contacts using intelligent algorithms , contact data , public sources , and more . Boards . As well as sitting on the boards of directors of Walmart , Maisonette , and Jawbone , Mayer also sits on several non-profit boards , such as Cooper–Hewitt , National Design Museum , New York City Ballet , San Francisco Ballet , and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art . Business investments . Mayer actively invests in technology companies , including crowd-sourced design retailer Minted , live video platform Airtime.com , wireless power startup uBeam , online DIY community/e-commerce company Brit + Co. , mobile payments processor Square , home décor site One Kings Lane , genetic testing company Natera , and nootropics and biohacking company Nootrobox . Accolades . Mayer was named to Fortune magazines annual list of Americas 50 Most Powerful Women in Business in 2008 , 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , 2012 , 2013 , and 2014 with ranks at 50 , 44 , 42 , 38 , 14 , 8 and 16 respectively . In 2008 , at age 33 , she was the youngest woman ever listed . Mayer was named one of Glamour Magazines Women of the Year in 2009 . She was listed in Forbes Magazines List of The Worlds 100 Most Powerful Women in 2012 , 2013 and 2014 , with ranks of 20 , 32 and 18 respectively .

Which team did Mark Farren play for between Nov 2000 and Dec 2000?
/wiki/Mark_Farren#P54#0
Mark Farren Mark Farren ( 1 May 1982 – 3 February 2016 ) was an Irish footballer who played as a forward for Derry City in his prime . Career . Farren began his football career with a largely unsuccessful period , throughout which he was dogged by injury , in the youth setup at Tranmere Rovers . Following this and a spell at Huddersfield Town , he returned to his home county to play for Finn Harps . After only one substitute League appearance in the 2000–01 League of Ireland season and a lack of first-team opportunities Farren moved south to fellow League of Ireland First Division side Monaghan United . He became a regular in the Monaghan team and quickly gained a reputation as a promising , pacy striker with much potential . He earned a move to Derry City in 2003 with a free transfer . Farren stayed clear of injury in the 2005 season to produce some magnificent displays . He finished the season as second top scorer with 18 league goals in 31 appearances and 22 goals in all competitions . It was this excellent form that saw him named PFAI Player of the Year . With the signing of Kevin McHugh and the establishment of Gary Beckett as a top forward in League of Ireland football , Farrens starting place was placed under threat for the 2006 season . However , he returned to the form he showed in 2005 and did manage to hold down a regular spot in the team , with an especially strong finish to the season , which helped Derry win the FAI Cup . His efforts also helped keep Derry in the league title race up until the very last day of the season , only to see his club lose the title to Dublin rivals , Shelbourne , on goal difference . In all , Farren finished the 2006 season with 18 goals to his name . In 2010 Farren was instrumental in Derry gaining promotion from the First Division scoring 20 goals in the season . Farren , who scored in the 1–0 victory in the last game over Monagahan United to give Derry the championship , may however be forced to put his playing career on hold due to a brain tumour . He was named in the squad travelling to Sligo to play in a crucial league match at the start of September 2011 . Commenting on Farren attempting to surpass Liam Coyles goal tally , Kenny stated : In August 2012 it was announced that he would be moving to Glenavon in January 2013 after signing a pre-contract agreement .

/wiki/Democratic_Action_Party#P488#0
Democratic Action Party The Democratic Action Party , or DAP ( , , ) , is a multi-racial , centre-left Malaysian political party advocating social democracy and secularism , social justice , progressivism , and multi-racialism . One of the component parties of the Pakatan Harapan ( PH ) coalition , it was an opposition party for 51 years until PH won the 2018 Malaysian general election and formed the federal government . However , before the coalition finished its first term , defections from partnering PH component parties caused it to lose power after 22 months , culminating in the 2020 Malaysian political crisis . As of 24 February 2020 , DAP is the largest party in Malaysias Dewan Rakyat . The partys vision is to establish a peaceful and prosperous social democracy that can unite its disparate races and diverse religions and cultures , based on the Malaysian Malaysia concept of forging a Malaysian race grounded on universal moral values , offering equal access and opportunity , upholding democratic governance and the rule of law , creating wealth and distributing it equitably , and fighting corruption . The DAP usually draws much of their support from secular and liberal voters with a stable electorate from voters of big cities , coastal regions , professional middle-class , and working class . The partys strongholds are primarily in the urban and semi-urban areas of Penang , Perak , Selangor , Negeri Sembilan , Johor , Malacca and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur . In the 2018 Malaysian general election , DAP contested in 47 federal constituencies and won 42 seats and 101 out of 104 state seats contested , most under the ticket of its ally Peoples Justice Party , representing a win rate of 95% , the highest among the major political parties contesting . History . Formation . On 11 October 1965 , the DAP was formed by former members of the deregistered Peoples Action Party of Malaysia , including Bangsar Member of Parliament Devan Nair , who later became President of Singapore . The party formally registered itself as a democratic socialist party on 18 March 1966 . The ten members of the pro-tem committee were Devan Nair as secretary-general , Chen Man Hin ( who won the Seremban state constituency as an independent ) as chairman , D . P . Xavier as assistant secretary-general , Goh Hock Guan as vice-chairman , Seeveratnam Sinnathamby ( younger brother of Singapore minister S . Rajaratnam ) as treasurer and Zain Azahari bin Zainal Abidin , Chin Chan Sung , Michael Khong Chye Huat , Tan Chong Bee and Too Chee Cheong as members . In the August of that year , the official party organ , The Rocket , was first published . At the first DAP National Congress held in Setapak , Kuala Lumpur on 29 July 1967 , the DAP declared itself to be irrevocably committed to the ideal of a free , democratic and socialist Malaysia , based on the principles of racial and religious equality , social and economic justice , and founded on the institution of parliamentary democracy . In October that year , the DAP joined 55 other socialist parties belonging to the Socialist International at the SI International Conference in Zurich , Switzerland . Devan Nair , who was amongst those who founded the DAP , later returned to Singapore . Lee Kuan Yew , then Prime Minister of Singapore under the PAP , explained in 1981 that the Cabinet decided that Singapore-Malaysia relations would always be bedevilled if Devan Nair remained a DAP leader . I persuaded him to come back . Early electoral successes . The DAP contested a general election for the first time in 1969 . In line with their commitment to equality , the DAP originally campaigned against Bumiputera privileges , such as those afforded to them by Article 153 of the Constitution . They also continued Lee Kuan Yews campaign for a Malaysian Malaysia , the idea of which was originally conveyed by Lee in Parliament : Malaysia – to whom does it belong ? To Malaysians . But who are Malaysians ? I hope I am , Mr Speaker , Sir . But sometimes , sitting in this chamber , I doubt whether I am allowed to be a Malaysian . The DAP went on to win 13 Parliamentary seats and 31 State Assembly seats , with 11.9% of all valid votes that were cast in the election ; the Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia ( Gerakan ) which campaigned on a similar platform also made major gains . The 1969 election marked the biggest gains ever made by an opposition party in Malaysia ( before 2008 ) , and came close to seeing the ruling Alliance toppled from power . However , a march made by the DAP along with Gerakan as part of the opposition team led to violence , and resulted in what was euphemistically termed the 13 May Incident . Parliament was suspended for two years , and the executive branch of the government assumed power . When Parliament reconvened , it passed pieces of legislation such as the Sedition Act that illegalised discussion of repealing certain portions of the Constitution . Most of these concerned Bumiputra privileges , such as Article 153 . The DAP and the Peoples Progressive Party were the only parties that voted against the Act , which passed by a vote of 125 to 17 . After the 1969 election , the DAP would never come close to repeating its past successes for the next 38 years . Although the DAP remained a major opposition party , the ruling coalition had clung solidly to its two-thirds parliamentary majority . The DAP , however , continued campaigning on its platform of abolishing the Bumiputra privileges , giving equal rights for all Malaysians regardless of race and establishing a democratic socialist state in Malaysia . During the Mahathir administration in 1987 , several DAP leaders , including Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang , were detained by the government without trial during Operation Lalang , under the accusation of being a national security threat . It is widely believed they were arrested for protesting the expansion of the New Economic Policy . 1995–2008 . In 1995 , the party ran what has become widely known as the Robocop campaign to wrest Penang from the Barisan Nasional . Despite the hype , the campaign was a failure as the party only won one state and three parliamentary seats . The strategy backfired when Prime Minister Mahathir , BN leaders and the media criticised Lim Kit Siang as a robot and soulless person . Following the ousting of Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in September 1998 , DAP co-founded the Barisan Alternatif coalition along with Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and the newly formed Peoples Justice Party . However , the coalition did not work out very well for the DAP , with two of its top leaders , Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh losing their Parliamentary seats in the 1999 election ; the DAP managed to win only 5% ( 10 out of 193 ) of the seats in Parliament . PAS became the leading opposition party in Parliament . It left the coalition in 2001 due to a disagreement with PAS over the issue of an Islamic state . In the 2004 general election , the DAP managed to capture 12 seats in Parliament , while PAS and Keadilan suffered major setbacks , with PAS losing 20 of the 27 seats it had held after the 1999 elections , and Keadilan lost all seats except one returned after a recount . The eventual outcome saw Lim Kit Siang , who had been elected in his constituency of Ipoh Timur with a majority of 10,000 votes , formally elected as the leader of the opposition in Parliament , a post he had lost to the president of PAS in 1999 . In the 2006 Sarawak state election , the Democratic Action Party won 6 of the 12 seats it contested and narrowly lost three other seats with small majorities . Up til then it was the partys best showing ever in the history of Sarawaks state elections since 1979 . 2008–2015 . Pakatan Rakyat was formed in 2008 by DAP , PKR and PAS . In the 2008 general election , the DAP won 13% ( 28 out of 222 ) of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat , with PAS and PKR making substantial gains as well with 23 seats and 31 seats respectively . In total , the taking of 82 seats ( 37% ) by the opposition to Barisan Nasionals 140 seats ( 63% ) , makes it the best performance in Malaysian history by the opposition , and denied Barisan Nasional the two-thirds majority required to make constitutional changes in the Dewan Rakyat . DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang expressed surprise at the election results but declared it to be the true power of the voice of the Malaysian people for the leaders of the country to hear them . In addition , DAP , having secured all its contested seats in the state of Penang , formed the Penang state government with its alliance partners PKR and PAS , the Chief Minister being DAPs Lim Guan Eng , son of Lim Kit Siang . In the 2011 Sarawak state election , DAP furthered its gains from the previous election , winning 12 out of the 70 state assembly seats , with PR winning a total of 15 state seats and 41% of the popular vote . The PRs success was further enhanced in the 2013 general election when DAP went on to win 17% ( 38 out of 222 ) of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat and the PR coalition won the popular vote , giving the BN government its worst election showing since independence . In 2015 , the PR alliance broke up after a PAS Muktamar ( General Assembly ) motion unanimously approved the breaking of ties with DAP due to disagreements over PASs decision to propose a private members bill to implement hudud ( Islamic penal code ) . Following PASs decision to cut ties with DAP , DAP announced that PR had ceased to exist . 2015 to Present . On 22 September 2015 , Pakatan Harapan was formed by DAP , PKR and National Trust Party to succeed PR . In the 2016 Sarawak state election , DAP lost its gains from the previous election , retained only 7 out of the 82 state assembly seats , with PH retained only a total of 10 state seats and 29.43% of the popular vote . On 12 February 2017 , Kota Melaka MP , Sim Tong Him along with three other DAP state assemblymen from Melaka namely Goh ( Duyong ) , Lim Jack Wong ( Bachang ) , and Chin Choong Seong ( Kesidang ) announced their resignation from the party to be Independent , citing lack of trust in the party leadership . On 14 March 2017 , PPBM officially joined PH as a member party . This made the coalition parties increase to four , where they competed in the 2018 general election against the BN coalition . During the election , PH achieved simple majority in Parliament when the coalition has secured 113 seats and finally able to form a new federal government through an early pact signed with Sabah Heritage Party . DAP won 42 seats out of the 47 seats it contested , making it the second-highest number of seats in PH behind PKR with 47 seats . Together with other coalition members , Lim Guan Eng and his peers took on ministerial roles in the newly formed cabinet . Lim became the Minister of Finance of the current ruling government when Mahathir announced the initial 10 minister portfolio holders . He subsequently became the first Malaysian Chinese to hold the post in 44 years since Tun Tan Siew Sin of Malaysian Chinese Association , who served from 1959 until 1974 . Loke Siew Fook replaced Lim Kit Siang as DAP parliamentary leader on 11 July 2018 for the 14th Dewan Rakyat session . On 24 February 2020 , the DAP became the largest party in the Dewan Rakyat for the first time after 11 out of 50 PKR MPs resigned over the political crisis . UMNO had also lost 16 out of 54 MPs over several months , mostly through defections to PPBM . The 42 MPs of the DAP have remained intact . On 9 March , Paul Yong Choo Kiong & Buntong A Sivasubramaniam declare out of party . On March 10 , DAP sack Norhizam Hassan Baktee , Pengkalan Batu Assemblyman . The dismissal came after Norhizam decided to support a new Perikatan Nasional coalition in Malacca state .

She said the decision was made after admitting that she could no longer face the challenges and pressures from the state DAP leadership . However , she had revert her decision and rejoin the party on 20 July . On 27 July , Padungan assemblyman and Sarawak DAP vice-chairman Wong King Wei has announced his resignation from DAP with immediate effect , saying he was disillusioned with its direction and management . He claimed the party has deviated from the aims , objectives and struggle of the earlier days when he joined in 2006 . On 30 July , nominated Sabah assemblyman Ronnie Loh Ee Eng was sacked from the DAP for supporting the Perikatan Nasionals treacherous attempt to topple the Warisan Plus Sabah state government led by Shafie Apdal . Ethnic diversity . In spite of being a multi-racial party , the majority of DAPs party membership is of ethnic-Chinese heritage , with most elected positions within the party being held by Chinese members . The partys first Malay member of parliament , Ahmad Nor only won his seat in the 1990 general election , The DAP also only gained its first native Sabahan ( Kadazandusun ) legislator in the 2013 election , Edwin Jack Bosi who sat in Sabah State Legislative Assembly . The lack of ethnic diversity within the party has led to DAP being viewed as a racist party in that it is exclusively concerned with the issues of the Chinese community by Malays . Party symbols . Party logo . The symbol or logo of the DAP ( see above ) is the rocket , which it has used since the 1969 general election . Its components are symbolised as follows : - The red rocket symbolises the Partys aspiration for a modern , dynamic and progressive society - The four rocket boosters represent the support and drive given to the Party objectives by the three major ethnicities ( Malay , Chinese , Indian ) and others - The blue circle stands for the unity of the multi-racial people of Malaysia - The white background stands for purity and incorruptibility Ubah mascot . In 2008 , DAP initially introduced Rocket Kid , a rocket as the partys official mascot during the 12th Malaysian general election . This was then changed to Ubah bird , a hornbill which was designed by Ooi Leng Hang and was launched during the Sarawak state election in 2011 and also used as part of their political campaigning during the 13th Malaysian general election in 2013 . DAP had adopted this bird as a symbol for change both for its unique characteristics , hardiness and representation of the unity of both East Malaysia and West Malaysia into a Malaysian nation . Its merchandise such as plush toys , buttons and car stickers were very well received by the public . The idea of the mascot came from Sarawak DAP Secretary , Chong Chieng Jen , who felt a mascot would boost the spirit of the people . The name Ubah , which means change in Malay , is in line with the partys aspirations in changing the ruling party of the Malaysian federal government . In addition to its original Sarawak Iban costume , Ubah now comes in a Malay costume for Hari Raya , Indian costume for Deepavali , Chinese costume for Chinese New Year , Santa Claus costume for Christmas , and a Superman costume that depicts the power of the people .

Allegations of racism and chauvinism . Despite constant rebuttals by party leaders , DAP has been depicted by their political opponents as a party that favours the Malaysian Chinese minority above others . This allegation of racial chauvinism culminated in a two-piece television program broadcast on government-controlled TV channel RTM entitled Bahaya Cauvinisme . The program forced then party leader Lim Kit Siang to issue a formal media statement to counter the allegations . On 15 November 2011 , Ismail Sabri Yaakob , the Malaysian Minister for Domestic Trade , Co-operatives and Consumerism , accused DAPs publicity chief , Tony Pua of racism for making repeated attacks against the Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia , a government initiative to supply cheap retail products to Malaysian consumers . Tony Pua was criticised for singling out Kedai Rakyat 1 Malaysia , whose suppliers to the store generally come from the Malaysian Bumiputra community , and for not investigating the quality of products supplied by Malaysian-Chinese suppliers or making similar accusations against independent Malaysian-Chinese stores . Allegations of racism have forced DAP party leader Lim Guan Eng to issue a formal denial in the Penang High Court . 2012 party election controversy . At the DAP election in December 2012 , Vincent Wu , who was initially declared to have secured the sixth spot with 1,202 votes , dropped to 26th place because he had actually secured only 669 . Zairil Khir Johari was elected to the central executive committee ( CEC ) with 803 votes to secure the 20th spot . The glitch , reportedly because of a vote tabulation error due to the copy-and-paste method in Microsoft Excel , had raised suspicion . DAP admitted the counting error after discovering the mistake . The DAP election fiasco had caused unease among party members and led to protests to the Registrar of Societies ( RoS ) . Two dissatisfied life members of the DAP then lodged reports with the RoS on the party elections following the revelations . Following the report the RoS had informed DAP of the dispute by its members and in turn as provided for under Section 3A of the Societies Act 1966 did recognise the office-bearers of the committee formed in the party elections on 15 December 2012 , the point of contention . GE-13 logo issue . DAP chairperson Karpal Singh said DAP will contest under the PAS logo for the Peninsula and PKR logo in Sabah and Sarawak in the 13th general election , following the Registrar of Societies ( RoS ) failure to respond on the withdrawal letter of RoS informing that it does not recognise the partys top leadership line-up . DAP had appealed to the RoS to withdraw its letter to suspend the partys existing central executive committee ( CEC ) but the department was silent on the matter . On 19 April 2013 , DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng informed all its 51 parliament and 103 state candidates to use the rocket symbol first during nomination tomorrow , and show the Election Commission the letter of authorisation signed by secretary-general Lim Guan Eng . If the rocket symbol is rejected , then use the letter of authorisation signed by PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali for Peninsula Malaysia and PKR letter of authorisation for Sabah and Sarawak . This came after the DAP decided to use PAS and PKR symbols for the coming general election on 5 May . On 20 April 2013 , DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said DAP can use its iconic rocket symbol for the 5 May general election after getting last-minute confirmation late at night on 19 April 2013 . He said the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur received a letter by hand from the RoS at 10 p.m . on 19 April , stating that it had no objections to the DAP using the logo , and that the Election Commission ( EC ) had informed all returning officers to accept nominations from the DAP .

Allegations of racism and chauvinism . Despite constant rebuttals by party leaders , DAP has been depicted by their political opponents as a party that favours the Malaysian Chinese minority above others . This allegation of racial chauvinism culminated in a two-piece television program broadcast on government-controlled TV channel RTM entitled Bahaya Cauvinisme . The program forced then party leader Lim Kit Siang to issue a formal media statement to counter the allegations . On 15 November 2011 , Ismail Sabri Yaakob , the Malaysian Minister for Domestic Trade , Co-operatives and Consumerism , accused DAPs publicity chief , Tony Pua of racism for making repeated attacks against the Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia , a government initiative to supply cheap retail products to Malaysian consumers . Tony Pua was criticised for singling out Kedai Rakyat 1 Malaysia , whose suppliers to the store generally come from the Malaysian Bumiputra community , and for not investigating the quality of products supplied by Malaysian-Chinese suppliers or making similar accusations against independent Malaysian-Chinese stores . Allegations of racism have forced DAP party leader Lim Guan Eng to issue a formal denial in the Penang High Court . 2012 party election controversy . At the DAP election in December 2012 , Vincent Wu , who was initially declared to have secured the sixth spot with 1,202 votes , dropped to 26th place because he had actually secured only 669 . Zairil Khir Johari was elected to the central executive committee ( CEC ) with 803 votes to secure the 20th spot . The glitch , reportedly because of a vote tabulation error due to the copy-and-paste method in Microsoft Excel , had raised suspicion . DAP admitted the counting error after discovering the mistake . The DAP election fiasco had caused unease among party members and led to protests to the Registrar of Societies ( RoS ) . Two dissatisfied life members of the DAP then lodged reports with the RoS on the party elections following the revelations . Following the report the RoS had informed DAP of the dispute by its members and in turn as provided for under Section 3A of the Societies Act 1966 did recognise the office-bearers of the committee formed in the party elections on 15 December 2012 , the point of contention . GE-13 logo issue . DAP chairperson Karpal Singh said DAP will contest under the PAS logo for the Peninsula and PKR logo in Sabah and Sarawak in the 13th general election , following the Registrar of Societies ( RoS ) failure to respond on the withdrawal letter of RoS informing that it does not recognise the partys top leadership line-up . DAP had appealed to the RoS to withdraw its letter to suspend the partys existing central executive committee ( CEC ) but the department was silent on the matter . On 19 April 2013 , DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng informed all its 51 parliament and 103 state candidates to use the rocket symbol first during nomination tomorrow , and show the Election Commission the letter of authorisation signed by secretary-general Lim Guan Eng . If the rocket symbol is rejected , then use the letter of authorisation signed by PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali for Peninsula Malaysia and PKR letter of authorisation for Sabah and Sarawak . This came after the DAP decided to use PAS and PKR symbols for the coming general election on 5 May . On 20 April 2013 , DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said DAP can use its iconic rocket symbol for the 5 May general election after getting last-minute confirmation late at night on 19 April 2013 . He said the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur received a letter by hand from the RoS at 10 p.m . on 19 April , stating that it had no objections to the DAP using the logo , and that the Election Commission ( EC ) had informed all returning officers to accept nominations from the DAP .

Who was the chair of Democratic Action Party between Jul 2009 and Feb 2012?
/wiki/Democratic_Action_Party#P488#2
Democratic Action Party The Democratic Action Party , or DAP ( , , ) , is a multi-racial , centre-left Malaysian political party advocating social democracy and secularism , social justice , progressivism , and multi-racialism . One of the component parties of the Pakatan Harapan ( PH ) coalition , it was an opposition party for 51 years until PH won the 2018 Malaysian general election and formed the federal government . However , before the coalition finished its first term , defections from partnering PH component parties caused it to lose power after 22 months , culminating in the 2020 Malaysian political crisis . As of 24 February 2020 , DAP is the largest party in Malaysias Dewan Rakyat . The partys vision is to establish a peaceful and prosperous social democracy that can unite its disparate races and diverse religions and cultures , based on the Malaysian Malaysia concept of forging a Malaysian race grounded on universal moral values , offering equal access and opportunity , upholding democratic governance and the rule of law , creating wealth and distributing it equitably , and fighting corruption . The DAP usually draws much of their support from secular and liberal voters with a stable electorate from voters of big cities , coastal regions , professional middle-class , and working class . The partys strongholds are primarily in the urban and semi-urban areas of Penang , Perak , Selangor , Negeri Sembilan , Johor , Malacca and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur . In the 2018 Malaysian general election , DAP contested in 47 federal constituencies and won 42 seats and 101 out of 104 state seats contested , most under the ticket of its ally Peoples Justice Party , representing a win rate of 95% , the highest among the major political parties contesting . History . Formation . On 11 October 1965 , the DAP was formed by former members of the deregistered Peoples Action Party of Malaysia , including Bangsar Member of Parliament Devan Nair , who later became President of Singapore . The party formally registered itself as a democratic socialist party on 18 March 1966 . The ten members of the pro-tem committee were Devan Nair as secretary-general , Chen Man Hin ( who won the Seremban state constituency as an independent ) as chairman , D . P . Xavier as assistant secretary-general , Goh Hock Guan as vice-chairman , Seeveratnam Sinnathamby ( younger brother of Singapore minister S . Rajaratnam ) as treasurer and Zain Azahari bin Zainal Abidin , Chin Chan Sung , Michael Khong Chye Huat , Tan Chong Bee and Too Chee Cheong as members . In the August of that year , the official party organ , The Rocket , was first published . At the first DAP National Congress held in Setapak , Kuala Lumpur on 29 July 1967 , the DAP declared itself to be irrevocably committed to the ideal of a free , democratic and socialist Malaysia , based on the principles of racial and religious equality , social and economic justice , and founded on the institution of parliamentary democracy . In October that year , the DAP joined 55 other socialist parties belonging to the Socialist International at the SI International Conference in Zurich , Switzerland . Devan Nair , who was amongst those who founded the DAP , later returned to Singapore . Lee Kuan Yew , then Prime Minister of Singapore under the PAP , explained in 1981 that the Cabinet decided that Singapore-Malaysia relations would always be bedevilled if Devan Nair remained a DAP leader . I persuaded him to come back . Early electoral successes . The DAP contested a general election for the first time in 1969 . In line with their commitment to equality , the DAP originally campaigned against Bumiputera privileges , such as those afforded to them by Article 153 of the Constitution . They also continued Lee Kuan Yews campaign for a Malaysian Malaysia , the idea of which was originally conveyed by Lee in Parliament : Malaysia – to whom does it belong ? To Malaysians . But who are Malaysians ? I hope I am , Mr Speaker , Sir . But sometimes , sitting in this chamber , I doubt whether I am allowed to be a Malaysian . The DAP went on to win 13 Parliamentary seats and 31 State Assembly seats , with 11.9% of all valid votes that were cast in the election ; the Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia ( Gerakan ) which campaigned on a similar platform also made major gains . The 1969 election marked the biggest gains ever made by an opposition party in Malaysia ( before 2008 ) , and came close to seeing the ruling Alliance toppled from power . However , a march made by the DAP along with Gerakan as part of the opposition team led to violence , and resulted in what was euphemistically termed the 13 May Incident . Parliament was suspended for two years , and the executive branch of the government assumed power . When Parliament reconvened , it passed pieces of legislation such as the Sedition Act that illegalised discussion of repealing certain portions of the Constitution . Most of these concerned Bumiputra privileges , such as Article 153 . The DAP and the Peoples Progressive Party were the only parties that voted against the Act , which passed by a vote of 125 to 17 . After the 1969 election , the DAP would never come close to repeating its past successes for the next 38 years . Although the DAP remained a major opposition party , the ruling coalition had clung solidly to its two-thirds parliamentary majority . The DAP , however , continued campaigning on its platform of abolishing the Bumiputra privileges , giving equal rights for all Malaysians regardless of race and establishing a democratic socialist state in Malaysia . During the Mahathir administration in 1987 , several DAP leaders , including Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang , were detained by the government without trial during Operation Lalang , under the accusation of being a national security threat . It is widely believed they were arrested for protesting the expansion of the New Economic Policy . 1995–2008 . In 1995 , the party ran what has become widely known as the Robocop campaign to wrest Penang from the Barisan Nasional . Despite the hype , the campaign was a failure as the party only won one state and three parliamentary seats . The strategy backfired when Prime Minister Mahathir , BN leaders and the media criticised Lim Kit Siang as a robot and soulless person . Following the ousting of Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in September 1998 , DAP co-founded the Barisan Alternatif coalition along with Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and the newly formed Peoples Justice Party . However , the coalition did not work out very well for the DAP , with two of its top leaders , Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh losing their Parliamentary seats in the 1999 election ; the DAP managed to win only 5% ( 10 out of 193 ) of the seats in Parliament . PAS became the leading opposition party in Parliament . It left the coalition in 2001 due to a disagreement with PAS over the issue of an Islamic state . In the 2004 general election , the DAP managed to capture 12 seats in Parliament , while PAS and Keadilan suffered major setbacks , with PAS losing 20 of the 27 seats it had held after the 1999 elections , and Keadilan lost all seats except one returned after a recount . The eventual outcome saw Lim Kit Siang , who had been elected in his constituency of Ipoh Timur with a majority of 10,000 votes , formally elected as the leader of the opposition in Parliament , a post he had lost to the president of PAS in 1999 . In the 2006 Sarawak state election , the Democratic Action Party won 6 of the 12 seats it contested and narrowly lost three other seats with small majorities . Up til then it was the partys best showing ever in the history of Sarawaks state elections since 1979 . 2008–2015 . Pakatan Rakyat was formed in 2008 by DAP , PKR and PAS . In the 2008 general election , the DAP won 13% ( 28 out of 222 ) of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat , with PAS and PKR making substantial gains as well with 23 seats and 31 seats respectively . In total , the taking of 82 seats ( 37% ) by the opposition to Barisan Nasionals 140 seats ( 63% ) , makes it the best performance in Malaysian history by the opposition , and denied Barisan Nasional the two-thirds majority required to make constitutional changes in the Dewan Rakyat . DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang expressed surprise at the election results but declared it to be the true power of the voice of the Malaysian people for the leaders of the country to hear them . In addition , DAP , having secured all its contested seats in the state of Penang , formed the Penang state government with its alliance partners PKR and PAS , the Chief Minister being DAPs Lim Guan Eng , son of Lim Kit Siang . In the 2011 Sarawak state election , DAP furthered its gains from the previous election , winning 12 out of the 70 state assembly seats , with PR winning a total of 15 state seats and 41% of the popular vote . The PRs success was further enhanced in the 2013 general election when DAP went on to win 17% ( 38 out of 222 ) of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat and the PR coalition won the popular vote , giving the BN government its worst election showing since independence . In 2015 , the PR alliance broke up after a PAS Muktamar ( General Assembly ) motion unanimously approved the breaking of ties with DAP due to disagreements over PASs decision to propose a private members bill to implement hudud ( Islamic penal code ) . Following PASs decision to cut ties with DAP , DAP announced that PR had ceased to exist . 2015 to Present . On 22 September 2015 , Pakatan Harapan was formed by DAP , PKR and National Trust Party to succeed PR . In the 2016 Sarawak state election , DAP lost its gains from the previous election , retained only 7 out of the 82 state assembly seats , with PH retained only a total of 10 state seats and 29.43% of the popular vote . On 12 February 2017 , Kota Melaka MP , Sim Tong Him along with three other DAP state assemblymen from Melaka namely Goh ( Duyong ) , Lim Jack Wong ( Bachang ) , and Chin Choong Seong ( Kesidang ) announced their resignation from the party to be Independent , citing lack of trust in the party leadership .

Who was the chair of Democratic Action Party between May 2014 and Aug 2014?
/wiki/Democratic_Action_Party#P488#3
Democratic Action Party The Democratic Action Party , or DAP ( , , ) , is a multi-racial , centre-left Malaysian political party advocating social democracy and secularism , social justice , progressivism , and multi-racialism . One of the component parties of the Pakatan Harapan ( PH ) coalition , it was an opposition party for 51 years until PH won the 2018 Malaysian general election and formed the federal government . However , before the coalition finished its first term , defections from partnering PH component parties caused it to lose power after 22 months , culminating in the 2020 Malaysian political crisis . As of 24 February 2020 , DAP is the largest party in Malaysias Dewan Rakyat . The partys vision is to establish a peaceful and prosperous social democracy that can unite its disparate races and diverse religions and cultures , based on the Malaysian Malaysia concept of forging a Malaysian race grounded on universal moral values , offering equal access and opportunity , upholding democratic governance and the rule of law , creating wealth and distributing it equitably , and fighting corruption . The DAP usually draws much of their support from secular and liberal voters with a stable electorate from voters of big cities , coastal regions , professional middle-class , and working class . The partys strongholds are primarily in the urban and semi-urban areas of Penang , Perak , Selangor , Negeri Sembilan , Johor , Malacca and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur . In the 2018 Malaysian general election , DAP contested in 47 federal constituencies and won 42 seats and 101 out of 104 state seats contested , most under the ticket of its ally Peoples Justice Party , representing a win rate of 95% , the highest among the major political parties contesting . History . Formation . On 11 October 1965 , the DAP was formed by former members of the deregistered Peoples Action Party of Malaysia , including Bangsar Member of Parliament Devan Nair , who later became President of Singapore . The party formally registered itself as a democratic socialist party on 18 March 1966 . The ten members of the pro-tem committee were Devan Nair as secretary-general , Chen Man Hin ( who won the Seremban state constituency as an independent ) as chairman , D . P . Xavier as assistant secretary-general , Goh Hock Guan as vice-chairman , Seeveratnam Sinnathamby ( younger brother of Singapore minister S . Rajaratnam ) as treasurer and Zain Azahari bin Zainal Abidin , Chin Chan Sung , Michael Khong Chye Huat , Tan Chong Bee and Too Chee Cheong as members . In the August of that year , the official party organ , The Rocket , was first published . At the first DAP National Congress held in Setapak , Kuala Lumpur on 29 July 1967 , the DAP declared itself to be irrevocably committed to the ideal of a free , democratic and socialist Malaysia , based on the principles of racial and religious equality , social and economic justice , and founded on the institution of parliamentary democracy . In October that year , the DAP joined 55 other socialist parties belonging to the Socialist International at the SI International Conference in Zurich , Switzerland . Devan Nair , who was amongst those who founded the DAP , later returned to Singapore . Lee Kuan Yew , then Prime Minister of Singapore under the PAP , explained in 1981 that the Cabinet decided that Singapore-Malaysia relations would always be bedevilled if Devan Nair remained a DAP leader . I persuaded him to come back . Early electoral successes . The DAP contested a general election for the first time in 1969 . In line with their commitment to equality , the DAP originally campaigned against Bumiputera privileges , such as those afforded to them by Article 153 of the Constitution . They also continued Lee Kuan Yews campaign for a Malaysian Malaysia , the idea of which was originally conveyed by Lee in Parliament : Malaysia – to whom does it belong ? To Malaysians . But who are Malaysians ? I hope I am , Mr Speaker , Sir . But sometimes , sitting in this chamber , I doubt whether I am allowed to be a Malaysian . The DAP went on to win 13 Parliamentary seats and 31 State Assembly seats , with 11.9% of all valid votes that were cast in the election ; the Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia ( Gerakan ) which campaigned on a similar platform also made major gains . The 1969 election marked the biggest gains ever made by an opposition party in Malaysia ( before 2008 ) , and came close to seeing the ruling Alliance toppled from power . However , a march made by the DAP along with Gerakan as part of the opposition team led to violence , and resulted in what was euphemistically termed the 13 May Incident . Parliament was suspended for two years , and the executive branch of the government assumed power . When Parliament reconvened , it passed pieces of legislation such as the Sedition Act that illegalised discussion of repealing certain portions of the Constitution . Most of these concerned Bumiputra privileges , such as Article 153 . The DAP and the Peoples Progressive Party were the only parties that voted against the Act , which passed by a vote of 125 to 17 . After the 1969 election , the DAP would never come close to repeating its past successes for the next 38 years . Although the DAP remained a major opposition party , the ruling coalition had clung solidly to its two-thirds parliamentary majority . The DAP , however , continued campaigning on its platform of abolishing the Bumiputra privileges , giving equal rights for all Malaysians regardless of race and establishing a democratic socialist state in Malaysia . During the Mahathir administration in 1987 , several DAP leaders , including Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang , were detained by the government without trial during Operation Lalang , under the accusation of being a national security threat . It is widely believed they were arrested for protesting the expansion of the New Economic Policy . 1995–2008 . In 1995 , the party ran what has become widely known as the Robocop campaign to wrest Penang from the Barisan Nasional . Despite the hype , the campaign was a failure as the party only won one state and three parliamentary seats . The strategy backfired when Prime Minister Mahathir , BN leaders and the media criticised Lim Kit Siang as a robot and soulless person . Following the ousting of Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in September 1998 , DAP co-founded the Barisan Alternatif coalition along with Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and the newly formed Peoples Justice Party . However , the coalition did not work out very well for the DAP , with two of its top leaders , Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh losing their Parliamentary seats in the 1999 election ; the DAP managed to win only 5% ( 10 out of 193 ) of the seats in Parliament . PAS became the leading opposition party in Parliament . It left the coalition in 2001 due to a disagreement with PAS over the issue of an Islamic state . In the 2004 general election , the DAP managed to capture 12 seats in Parliament , while PAS and Keadilan suffered major setbacks , with PAS losing 20 of the 27 seats it had held after the 1999 elections , and Keadilan lost all seats except one returned after a recount . The eventual outcome saw Lim Kit Siang , who had been elected in his constituency of Ipoh Timur with a majority of 10,000 votes , formally elected as the leader of the opposition in Parliament , a post he had lost to the president of PAS in 1999 . In the 2006 Sarawak state election , the Democratic Action Party won 6 of the 12 seats it contested and narrowly lost three other seats with small majorities . Up til then it was the partys best showing ever in the history of Sarawaks state elections since 1979 . 2008–2015 . Pakatan Rakyat was formed in 2008 by DAP , PKR and PAS . In the 2008 general election , the DAP won 13% ( 28 out of 222 ) of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat , with PAS and PKR making substantial gains as well with 23 seats and 31 seats respectively . In total , the taking of 82 seats ( 37% ) by the opposition to Barisan Nasionals 140 seats ( 63% ) , makes it the best performance in Malaysian history by the opposition , and denied Barisan Nasional the two-thirds majority required to make constitutional changes in the Dewan Rakyat . DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang expressed surprise at the election results but declared it to be the true power of the voice of the Malaysian people for the leaders of the country to hear them . In addition , DAP , having secured all its contested seats in the state of Penang , formed the Penang state government with its alliance partners PKR and PAS , the Chief Minister being DAPs Lim Guan Eng , son of Lim Kit Siang . In the 2011 Sarawak state election , DAP furthered its gains from the previous election , winning 12 out of the 70 state assembly seats , with PR winning a total of 15 state seats and 41% of the popular vote . The PRs success was further enhanced in the 2013 general election when DAP went on to win 17% ( 38 out of 222 ) of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat and the PR coalition won the popular vote , giving the BN government its worst election showing since independence . In 2015 , the PR alliance broke up after a PAS Muktamar ( General Assembly ) motion unanimously approved the breaking of ties with DAP due to disagreements over PASs decision to propose a private members bill to implement hudud ( Islamic penal code ) . Following PASs decision to cut ties with DAP , DAP announced that PR had ceased to exist . 2015 to Present . On 22 September 2015 , Pakatan Harapan was formed by DAP , PKR and National Trust Party to succeed PR . In the 2016 Sarawak state election , DAP lost its gains from the previous election , retained only 7 out of the 82 state assembly seats , with PH retained only a total of 10 state seats and 29.43% of the popular vote . On 12 February 2017 , Kota Melaka MP , Sim Tong Him along with three other DAP state assemblymen from Melaka namely Goh ( Duyong ) , Lim Jack Wong ( Bachang ) , and Chin Choong Seong ( Kesidang ) announced their resignation from the party to be Independent , citing lack of trust in the party leadership . On 14 March 2017 , PPBM officially joined PH as a member party . This made the coalition parties increase to four , where they competed in the 2018 general election against the BN coalition . During the election , PH achieved simple majority in Parliament when the coalition has secured 113 seats and finally able to form a new federal government through an early pact signed with Sabah Heritage Party . DAP won 42 seats out of the 47 seats it contested , making it the second-highest number of seats in PH behind PKR with 47 seats . Together with other coalition members , Lim Guan Eng and his peers took on ministerial roles in the newly formed cabinet . Lim became the Minister of Finance of the current ruling government when Mahathir announced the initial 10 minister portfolio holders . He subsequently became the first Malaysian Chinese to hold the post in 44 years since Tun Tan Siew Sin of Malaysian Chinese Association , who served from 1959 until 1974 . Loke Siew Fook replaced Lim Kit Siang as DAP parliamentary leader on 11 July 2018 for the 14th Dewan Rakyat session . On 24 February 2020 , the DAP became the largest party in the Dewan Rakyat for the first time after 11 out of 50 PKR MPs resigned over the political crisis . UMNO had also lost 16 out of 54 MPs over several months , mostly through defections to PPBM . The 42 MPs of the DAP have remained intact . On 9 March , Paul Yong Choo Kiong & Buntong A Sivasubramaniam declare out of party . On March 10 , DAP sack Norhizam Hassan Baktee , Pengkalan Batu Assemblyman . The dismissal came after Norhizam decided to support a new Perikatan Nasional coalition in Malacca state . On 7 July , DAP sack 3 members ( Kong Lai Ling , Ng Sook Whye and Khi Poh Chong ) due to the involved in the incident of the fall of the Perak state government to the Perikatan Nasional . On 10 July , Mary Josephine , Rahang assemblywomen declare out of party . She said the decision was made after admitting that she could no longer face the challenges and pressures from the state DAP leadership . However , she had revert her decision and rejoin the party on 20 July . On 27 July , Padungan assemblyman and Sarawak DAP vice-chairman Wong King Wei has announced his resignation from DAP with immediate effect , saying he was disillusioned with its direction and management . He claimed the party has deviated from the aims , objectives and struggle of the earlier days when he joined in 2006 . On 30 July , nominated Sabah assemblyman Ronnie Loh Ee Eng was sacked from the DAP for supporting the Perikatan Nasionals treacherous attempt to topple the Warisan Plus Sabah state government led by Shafie Apdal . Ethnic diversity . In spite of being a multi-racial party , the majority of DAPs party membership is of ethnic-Chinese heritage , with most elected positions within the party being held by Chinese members . The partys first Malay member of parliament , Ahmad Nor only won his seat in the 1990 general election , The DAP also only gained its first native Sabahan ( Kadazandusun ) legislator in the 2013 election , Edwin Jack Bosi who sat in Sabah State Legislative Assembly . The lack of ethnic diversity within the party has led to DAP being viewed as a racist party in that it is exclusively concerned with the issues of the Chinese community by Malays . Party symbols . Party logo . The symbol or logo of the DAP ( see above ) is the rocket , which it has used since the 1969 general election . Its components are symbolised as follows : - The red rocket symbolises the Partys aspiration for a modern , dynamic and progressive society - The four rocket boosters represent the support and drive given to the Party objectives by the three major ethnicities ( Malay , Chinese , Indian ) and others - The blue circle stands for the unity of the multi-racial people of Malaysia - The white background stands for purity and incorruptibility Ubah mascot . In 2008 , DAP initially introduced Rocket Kid , a rocket as the partys official mascot during the 12th Malaysian general election . This was then changed to Ubah bird , a hornbill which was designed by Ooi Leng Hang and was launched during the Sarawak state election in 2011 and also used as part of their political campaigning during the 13th Malaysian general election in 2013 . DAP had adopted this bird as a symbol for change both for its unique characteristics , hardiness and representation of the unity of both East Malaysia and West Malaysia into a Malaysian nation . Its merchandise such as plush toys , buttons and car stickers were very well received by the public . The idea of the mascot came from Sarawak DAP Secretary , Chong Chieng Jen , who felt a mascot would boost the spirit of the people . The name Ubah , which means change in Malay , is in line with the partys aspirations in changing the ruling party of the Malaysian federal government . In addition to its original Sarawak Iban costume , Ubah now comes in a Malay costume for Hari Raya , Indian costume for Deepavali , Chinese costume for Chinese New Year , Santa Claus costume for Christmas , and a Superman costume that depicts the power of the people .

Which country did Orenburg belong to before Apr 1916?
/wiki/Orenburg#P17#0
Orenburg Orenburg ( ) is the administrative center of Orenburg Oblast , Russia . It lies on the Ural River , southeast of Moscow . Orenburg is also very close to the border with Kazakhstan . Population : 548,331 ( 2010 Census ) ; 549,361 ( 2002 Census ) ; Geography . The city is in the basin of the middle current of the River Ural ( near its confluence with the River Sakmara ) . The highest point of the city is . The origins of the citys name . Several historians have tried to explain the origins of the citys name . It was traditionally accepted that the word orenburg means a fortress on the River Or . In all probability , the word combination orenburg was proposed by I . K . Kirillov , who was the founder of the city . In 1734 , in accordance with his project , a package of governmental documents was worked out . This was the starting point for Orenburg as a fortress city near the meeting of the Or and Ural rivers . On 7 June 1734 , A Privilege for Orenburg ( tsars edict ) was ordered by Empress Anna Ivanovna . While a construction site of the main fortress changed many times ( down the River Ural ) , the name Orenburg has not changed since its founding in 1743 . Between 1938 and 1957 , the city was referred to as Chkalov , named after the famous Soviet pilot Valery Chkalov , although he was not born in and never lived in Orenburg , and never visited Orenburg . In 1954 , Chkalovs 5-meter bronze sculpture was erected on the occasion of his 50th birth anniversary ; this was installed on a 7-meter pedestal in the Boulevard ( on the riverside promenade of the city , commonly named Belovka ) . Orenburg was unofficially called the Asian capital of Russia . History . In 1734 , the Russian Empire began expanding its control and influence in Asia starting from the construction of the fortress city called Orenburg on its eastern border ( in Southern Ural ) . For this purpose , a settlement was founded here in 1735 - at the place where the Or and the Ural rivers join . The initial site was chosen for settlement during the expedition of I.K . Kirilov , who initiated developmental activities in the region . He argued that the city was necessary ...for opening up transit routes to Bukhara , Badakhshan , Bulk , and to India , making it possible to receive wealth from there — gold , lapis lazuli , and garnet . After his death , a new administrator of the Orenburg expedition , Vasily Tatishchev , was appointed . He did not consider this place to be convenient for construction of the city , because it was constantly flooded by the spring high waters . This encouraged to launch in 1739 preparations for building a new town with the old name downstream the river Ural ( Yaik ) on the mountain Krasnaya ( Red ) . The old settlement was named the Orsk fortress ( now the city of Orsk ) . On 6 August 1741 , the new town was founded . However , its construction did not start . The location on the mountain Krasnaya — treeless , rocky and remote from the river — was also inappropriate for building the town . A new administrator of the Orenburg expedition , Ivan Neplyuyev , was appointed . On 19 ( 30 ) April 1743 , Orenburg was founded for a third time , on the compound that was once the Berda fortress , from the Krasnogorsk mountain area . In the summer of 1742 , Neplyuev personally chose a new place surrounded by forests and crop fields , where the Yaik and the Sakmara rivers meet . Now it is the historical centre of the city . The city built upon the mountain Krasnaya was named Krasnogorsk . Orenburg , therefore , was successfully established by Ivan Neplyuyev in its present location approximately west down the Ural from Orsk in 1743 . This third Orenburg has functioned as an important military outpost on the border with the nomadic Kazakhs . It became the centre of the Orenburg Cossacks . Orenburg played a major role in Pugachevs Rebellion ( 1773–1774 ) , the largest peasant revolt in Russian history . At the time , it was the capital of a vast district and the seat of the governor . Yemelyan Pugachev besieged the city and its fortress from nearby Berda from October 1773 - March 26 , 1774 . The defense was organized by Governor of Orenburg lieutenant-general . General defeated Pugachev at Berda , and later again at ( north of Orenburg ) . Most of the city was left in ruins , and thousands of inhabitants had died in the siege . Government forces crushed revolt towards the end of 1774 by General Michelsohn at Tsaritsyn . Further reprisals against rebel areas were carried out by General Peter Panin . Alexander Pushkin visited Orenburg in 1833 during a research trip for his books The History of Pugachev and his famous novel The Captains Daughter . He met his friend Vladimir Dal here , who would later write the first serious dictionary of the Russian language . Orenburg was the base for General Perovskys expeditions against the Khanate of Khiva in the 1830s through 1850s . After the incorporation of Central Asia into the Russian Empire , Orenburg became a trading station and , since the completion of the Trans-Aral Railway , a prominent railway junction en route to the new Central Asian possessions and to Siberia . Orenburg functioned as the capital of the Kirghiz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ( in present-day Kazakhstan ) within Russia from 1920–1925 . When that republic was renamed Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1925 , Orenburg joined Russia and Kyzylorda became the new capital . Almaty became the capital in 1929 after the construction of the Turkestan–Siberia Railway . Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was promoted to the union republic status as the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic Kazakh SSR in 1936 . Orenburg remained in Russia . From 1938 to 1957 , the city bore the name Chkalov ( ) ( after the prominent test pilot Valery Chkalov ) . The citys distance from the German invasion during World War II led many Soviet enterprises to flee there , helping to spur the citys economic growth . Administrative and municipal status . Orenburg is the administrative center of the oblast and , within the framework of administrative divisions , it also serves as the administrative centre of Orenburgsky District , even though it is not a part of it . As an administrative division , it is , together with ten rural localities , incorporated separately as the City of Orenburg—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts . As a municipal division , the City of Orenburg is incorporated as Orenburg Urban Okrug . Economy . Orenburg is a home to several large companies or their subsidiaries : Orenburggazprom , the subsidiary of Gazprom ; Orenburgneft , the subsidiary of TNK-BP oil company ; Orenburgenergy , one of the biggest energy generating companies in Russia . Transportation . Orenburg has been a major railway centre ever since the Samara-Zlatoust and Orenburg-Tashkent railroads were completed , respectively in 1876 and 1905 . Orenburgs main airport is the Orenburg Tsentralny Airport , located about east of the city , on the Orsk destination , and used to be the headquarters of now defunct Orenair . City public transport includes bus , trolleybus and also marshrutkas ( fixed-route cabs ) . Military . There is an airbase located southwest of the city . Climate .

Which country did Orenburg belong to in late 1910s?
/wiki/Orenburg#P17#1
Orenburg Orenburg ( ) is the administrative center of Orenburg Oblast , Russia . It lies on the Ural River , southeast of Moscow . Orenburg is also very close to the border with Kazakhstan . Population : 548,331 ( 2010 Census ) ; 549,361 ( 2002 Census ) ; Geography . The city is in the basin of the middle current of the River Ural ( near its confluence with the River Sakmara ) . The highest point of the city is . The origins of the citys name . Several historians have tried to explain the origins of the citys name . It was traditionally accepted that the word orenburg means a fortress on the River Or . In all probability , the word combination orenburg was proposed by I . K . Kirillov , who was the founder of the city . In 1734 , in accordance with his project , a package of governmental documents was worked out . This was the starting point for Orenburg as a fortress city near the meeting of the Or and Ural rivers . On 7 June 1734 , A Privilege for Orenburg ( tsars edict ) was ordered by Empress Anna Ivanovna . While a construction site of the main fortress changed many times ( down the River Ural ) , the name Orenburg has not changed since its founding in 1743 . Between 1938 and 1957 , the city was referred to as Chkalov , named after the famous Soviet pilot Valery Chkalov , although he was not born in and never lived in Orenburg , and never visited Orenburg . In 1954 , Chkalovs 5-meter bronze sculpture was erected on the occasion of his 50th birth anniversary ; this was installed on a 7-meter pedestal in the Boulevard ( on the riverside promenade of the city , commonly named Belovka ) . Orenburg was unofficially called the Asian capital of Russia . History . In 1734 , the Russian Empire began expanding its control and influence in Asia starting from the construction of the fortress city called Orenburg on its eastern border ( in Southern Ural ) . For this purpose , a settlement was founded here in 1735 - at the place where the Or and the Ural rivers join . The initial site was chosen for settlement during the expedition of I.K . Kirilov , who initiated developmental activities in the region . He argued that the city was necessary ...for opening up transit routes to Bukhara , Badakhshan , Bulk , and to India , making it possible to receive wealth from there — gold , lapis lazuli , and garnet . After his death , a new administrator of the Orenburg expedition , Vasily Tatishchev , was appointed . He did not consider this place to be convenient for construction of the city , because it was constantly flooded by the spring high waters . This encouraged to launch in 1739 preparations for building a new town with the old name downstream the river Ural ( Yaik ) on the mountain Krasnaya ( Red ) . The old settlement was named the Orsk fortress ( now the city of Orsk ) . On 6 August 1741 , the new town was founded . However , its construction did not start . The location on the mountain Krasnaya — treeless , rocky and remote from the river — was also inappropriate for building the town . A new administrator of the Orenburg expedition , Ivan Neplyuyev , was appointed . On 19 ( 30 ) April 1743 , Orenburg was founded for a third time , on the compound that was once the Berda fortress , from the Krasnogorsk mountain area . In the summer of 1742 , Neplyuev personally chose a new place surrounded by forests and crop fields , where the Yaik and the Sakmara rivers meet . Now it is the historical centre of the city . The city built upon the mountain Krasnaya was named Krasnogorsk . Orenburg , therefore , was successfully established by Ivan Neplyuyev in its present location approximately west down the Ural from Orsk in 1743 . This third Orenburg has functioned as an important military outpost on the border with the nomadic Kazakhs . It became the centre of the Orenburg Cossacks . Orenburg played a major role in Pugachevs Rebellion ( 1773–1774 ) , the largest peasant revolt in Russian history . At the time , it was the capital of a vast district and the seat of the governor . Yemelyan Pugachev besieged the city and its fortress from nearby Berda from October 1773 - March 26 , 1774 . The defense was organized by Governor of Orenburg lieutenant-general . General defeated Pugachev at Berda , and later again at ( north of Orenburg ) . Most of the city was left in ruins , and thousands of inhabitants had died in the siege . Government forces crushed revolt towards the end of 1774 by General Michelsohn at Tsaritsyn . Further reprisals against rebel areas were carried out by General Peter Panin . Alexander Pushkin visited Orenburg in 1833 during a research trip for his books The History of Pugachev and his famous novel The Captains Daughter . He met his friend Vladimir Dal here , who would later write the first serious dictionary of the Russian language . Orenburg was the base for General Perovskys expeditions against the Khanate of Khiva in the 1830s through 1850s . After the incorporation of Central Asia into the Russian Empire , Orenburg became a trading station and , since the completion of the Trans-Aral Railway , a prominent railway junction en route to the new Central Asian possessions and to Siberia . Orenburg functioned as the capital of the Kirghiz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ( in present-day Kazakhstan ) within Russia from 1920–1925 . When that republic was renamed Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1925 , Orenburg joined Russia and Kyzylorda became the new capital . Almaty became the capital in 1929 after the construction of the Turkestan–Siberia Railway . Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was promoted to the union republic status as the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic Kazakh SSR in 1936 . Orenburg remained in Russia . From 1938 to 1957 , the city bore the name Chkalov ( ) ( after the prominent test pilot Valery Chkalov ) . The citys distance from the German invasion during World War II led many Soviet enterprises to flee there , helping to spur the citys economic growth . Administrative and municipal status . Orenburg is the administrative center of the oblast and , within the framework of administrative divisions , it also serves as the administrative centre of Orenburgsky District , even though it is not a part of it . As an administrative division , it is , together with ten rural localities , incorporated separately as the City of Orenburg—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts . As a municipal division , the City of Orenburg is incorporated as Orenburg Urban Okrug . Economy . Orenburg is a home to several large companies or their subsidiaries : Orenburggazprom , the subsidiary of Gazprom ; Orenburgneft , the subsidiary of TNK-BP oil company ; Orenburgenergy , one of the biggest energy generating companies in Russia . Transportation . Orenburg has been a major railway centre ever since the Samara-Zlatoust and Orenburg-Tashkent railroads were completed , respectively in 1876 and 1905 . Orenburgs main airport is the Orenburg Tsentralny Airport , located about east of the city , on the Orsk destination , and used to be the headquarters of now defunct Orenair . City public transport includes bus , trolleybus and also marshrutkas ( fixed-route cabs ) . Military . There is an airbase located southwest of the city . Climate . Orenburg has a relatively dry humid continental climate ( Köppen climate classification Dfa ) with quite long and hot summers and long and cold winters .

Which employer did Harrison B. Tordoff work for before Feb 1952?
/wiki/Harrison_B._Tordoff#P108#0
Harrison B . Tordoff Harrison Bruce Bud Tordoff ( February 8 , 1923 – July 23 , 2008 ) was an American ornithologist and conservationist . He was brought up in Mechanicville in upstate New York , hunting and fishing , and became interested in wildlife management and zoology . He studied as an undergraduate at Cornell University , returning to complete his degree after a period of military service during World War II . He had served as a fighter pilot in the United States Army Air Forces , and his five confirmed aerial victories qualified him as a fighter ace . Tordoff completed his doctoral degree in ornithology at the University of Michigan . During his professional career , he worked as a faculty member and natural history museum curator at a number of public universities . Much of his career was spent at the University of Minnesota , where he served as director of the Bell Museum of Natural History from 1970–83 . He was active in ornithological and conservation organisations , and from 1978–80 was president of the American Ornithologists Union . Most of Tordoffs research was on the evolution of finches , and he is most remembered for his role in the reintroduction of the peregrine falcon in the upper Mississippi valley . Early life and education . Tordoff was born in Mechanicville , New York on February 8 , 1923 , the youngest and the only son among the six children of Harry and Ethel Tordoff . With his father , a stonemason , he learned to hunt and fish , and spent much of his free time observing birds and other wildlife , afield with his dog . He raised ring-necked pheasants for release , and started studying wildlife management , which he expected to be his career . He later said that shooting a black-throated blue warbler and admiring its unusual plumage sparked an interest in ornithology . In 1940 , Tordoff enrolled at Cornell University , where he found that his interest in the natural world could be pursued in a formal setting . While he was there , he met Robert M .

Harrison B . Tordoff Harrison Bruce Bud Tordoff ( February 8 , 1923 – July 23 , 2008 ) was an American ornithologist and conservationist . He was brought up in Mechanicville in upstate New York , hunting and fishing , and became interested in wildlife management and zoology . He studied as an undergraduate at Cornell University , returning to complete his degree after a period of military service during World War II . He had served as a fighter pilot in the United States Army Air Forces , and his five confirmed aerial victories qualified him as a fighter ace . Tordoff completed his doctoral degree in ornithology at the University of Michigan . During his professional career , he worked as a faculty member and natural history museum curator at a number of public universities . Much of his career was spent at the University of Minnesota , where he served as director of the Bell Museum of Natural History from 1970–83 . He was active in ornithological and conservation organisations , and from 1978–80 was president of the American Ornithologists Union . Most of Tordoffs research was on the evolution of finches , and he is most remembered for his role in the reintroduction of the peregrine falcon in the upper Mississippi valley . Early life and education . Tordoff was born in Mechanicville , New York on February 8 , 1923 , the youngest and the only son among the six children of Harry and Ethel Tordoff . With his father , a stonemason , he learned to hunt and fish , and spent much of his free time observing birds and other wildlife , afield with his dog . He raised ring-necked pheasants for release , and started studying wildlife management , which he expected to be his career . He later said that shooting a black-throated blue warbler and admiring its unusual plumage sparked an interest in ornithology . In 1940 , Tordoff enrolled at Cornell University , where he found that his interest in the natural world could be pursued in a formal setting . While he was there , he met Robert M . Mengel ( his lifelong best friend , later editor of the Auk ) , who encouraged his interest in ornithology , as did one of his professors , Arthur Augustus Allen .

He used geological evidence to support his theory in The Glacial Nightmare and the Flood ( 1893 ) . In 1905 , he wrote another book Ice or Water that attempted to refute the glacial theory in detail . Professional geologists were not convinced by his theory . Works . The books and journals he authored summarise his vast areas of interest : On Mongolia : - H.H .
