Whether Ohio’s constitutional and statutory bans on recognition of marriages of same-sex couples validly entered in other jurisdictions violate the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 2. Whether Ohio’s refusal to recognize a judgment of adoption of an Ohio-born child issued to a same-sex couple by the courts of a sister state violates the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution. i PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDING This petition seeks Supreme Court review of two cases challenging the State of Ohio’s constitutional and statutory bans on recognition of valid, out-of- state marriages between persons of the same sex, as well as to the State’s refusal to recognize an out-of- state judgment of adoption issued to a same-sex couple. Petitioners from Obergefell v. Himes are James Obergefell, David Brian Michener, and Robert Grunn. Petitioners from Henry v. Himes are Brittani Henry and Brittni Rogers, Georgia Nicole Yorksmith and Pamela Yorksmith, Kelly Noe and Kelly McCracken, and Joseph J. Vitale and Robert Talmas and their son—Adopted Child Doe. Petitioners were all plaintiffs in the District Court and appellees in the Court of Appeals. Respondent is Richard Hodges, who in the course of the litigation replaced formerly named defendant Lance D. Himes as Director of the Ohio Department of Health (“Director”). He is sued in his official capacity only. An official serving as Director has been a defendant in the District Court and appellant in the Court of Appeals in both Obergefell and Henry. The following persons or entities also were parties to proceedings below, but are no longer parties: John Arthur, spouse of Petitioner James Obergefell, was a plaintiff in the District Court in Obergefell, but passed away prior to the final judgment. ii Adoption S.T.A.R., Inc. was a plaintiff in the District Court in Henry and dismissed from the action, and was an appellee before the Sixth Circuit, but does not join this petition. Ohio Governor John Kasich and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine were defendants in the District Court in Obergefell, but were voluntarily dismissed from the case prior to the final judgment. Theodore E. Wymyslo, M.D., in his former capacity as Director of the Ohio Department of Health, was a defendant in the District Court in Obergefell, but was substituted by Lance Himes, his successor as Director, in the appellate court. Himes in turn was succeeded as Director by Richard Hodges, who has been substituted as current Respondent. Camille Jones, M.D., in her official capacity as Registrar of the City of Cincinnati Health Department Office of Vital Records, was a defendant in the District Court, but did not appeal from the final judgment. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS QUESTIONS PRESENTED ........................................ i PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDING ........................... ii TABLE OF AUTHORITIES ...................................... vi JOINT PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI .... 1 OPINIONS BELOW ................................................... 1 JURISDICTION .......................................................... 2 CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVISIONS INVOLVED ......................................... 2 STATEMENT OF THE CASE .................................... 4 REASONS FOR GRANTING THE JOINT PETITION ................................................................. 18 I.

  • Isabel Clara Eugenia and Peter Paul Rubens’S the Triumph of the Eucharist Tapestry Series
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PIETY, POLITICS, AND PATRONAGE: ISABEL CLARA EUGENIA AND PETER PAUL RUBENS’S THE TRIUMPH OF THE EUCHARIST TAPESTRY SERIES Alexandra Billington Libby, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archeology This dissertation explores the circumstances that inspired the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, Princess of Spain, Archduchess of Austria, and Governess General of the Southern Netherlands to commission Peter Paul Rubens’s The Triumph of the Eucharist tapestry series for the Madrid convent of the Descalzas Reales. It traces the commission of the twenty large-scale tapestries that comprise the series to the aftermath of an important victory of the Infanta’s army over the Dutch in the town of Breda. Relying on contemporary literature, studies of the Infanta’s upbringing, and the tapestries themselves, it argues that the cycle was likely conceived as an ex-voto, or gift of thanks to God for the military triumph. In my discussion, I highlight previously unrecognized temporal and thematic connections between Isabel’s many other gestures of thanks in the wake of the victory and The Triumph of the Eucharist series. I further show how Rubens invested the tapestries with imagery and a conceptual conceit that celebrated the Eucharist in ways that symbolically evoked the triumph at Breda. My study also explores the motivations behind Isabel’s decision to give the series to the Descalzas Reales. It discusses how as an ex-voto, the tapestries implicitly credited her for the triumph and, thereby, affirmed her terrestrial authority. Drawing on the history of the convent and its use by the king of Spain as both a religious and political dynastic center, it shows that the series was not only a gift to the convent, but also a gift to the king, a man with whom the Infanta had developed a tense relationship over the question of her political autonomy.

He is credited as being the "Father of Rocket Science". In his 20s and early 30s, von Braun was the central figure in Germany's rocket development program, responsible for the design and realization of the V-2 combat rocket during World War II. After the war, he and some select members of his rocket team were taken to the United States as part of the then-secret Operation Paperclip. Von Braun worked on the United States Army intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) program before his group was assimilated by NASA. Under NASA, he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the superbooster that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon.[1] According to one NASA Von Braun at his desk at Marshall Space Flight source, he is "without doubt, the greatest rocket scientist in Center in May 1964, with models of the Saturn history".[2] His crowning achievement was to lead the rocket family development of the Saturn V booster rocket that helped land Born Wernher Magnus Maximilian, [3] the first men on the Moon in July 1969.

Outlandish Fictions: The Eighteenth-Century French Novel and Marriage on Women's Terms Abstract ABSTRACT OUTLANDISH FICTIONS: THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTRY FRENCH NOVEL AND MARRIAGE ON WOMEN'S TERMS Ekaterina R. Alexandrova Joan DeJean Focusing on plots that depict life after marriage, this dissertation studies the novel as a medium for imagining a spousal relationship transformed to promote new positive social, political, and familial roles and possibilities for women. I re-establish these fictions' thrust as primarily concerned with individual freedom and fulfillment, atherr than with affection in marriage. I begin by exploring the relationship between the rising appeal of conjugal sentiment and the novel, situating the genre within the general context of social and political shift in eighteenth-century France. Viewing emergent subversive marriage plots in light of the founding seventeenth-century tradition tying the novel genre to women's interests, I suggest that attempts to contain fictions deemed outlandish" " may have warped our present vision of the "heroine's plot," or the range of roles and experiences imagined for women by Enlightenment novelists.
