His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

Not surprisingly therefore the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary War, impacting as they did on British domestic politics, had a huge influence on what the British press produced in the years between 1789 and 1802.

  • Notrump Interference
    NoTrump Interference Don't you just hate it when the bidding goes P – 1N – P – P; P and the opponents end up with a good result? We learned about Balancing as a measure to keep opponents out of cheap contracts. Granted the 1N bid does show a bit stronger hand than a simple 1-of-a-suit Opener; but still the Openers Partner Passed so where are the other 25-33 HCP? Perhaps the majority of them are with your side and you might have a long-suit advantage from the fact that the power hand is balanced in shape. This latter fact forms the basis of Bids designed to keep opponents from playing easy 1N contracts. There have been many Conventions designed to this end but by far the two most popular which we will show here are Cappeletti, named after its proponent Mike C. and D.O.N.T another Marty Bergen invention where the Initials stand for Disturb Opponents No Trump. D.O.N.T Because of the list's length it may seem intimidating at first, but it really is quite simple. The opponent opens 1N and if you have a one or two suited hand you show that information to your partner. The single suited hand contains a 6+ Card suit: you use the ubiquitous X = Double to let partner know you have a long suit. If you have a two suited hand i.e. you have two suits most commonly 5-4 but could be 5-5 or even 6-5, you bid the lower ranking of the two suits, It makes no difference which is the stronger or longer – you bid the lower ranking suit to show the two suited hand.

As is customary, we present annual reports on challenges in the realization of the rights to freedom of conscience and the principle of state secularism, and on overuse and misuse of anti-extremism laws. Since 2017, instead of a single, large report on radical nationalism, hate crimes, and the efforts by the state and the society to counteract these phenomena, this collection comprises two reports: the first one concerns hate crimes and counteraction to them, the second one covers other aspects of anti-extremism policies. The reports in this collection are updated versions of the original reports published on the SOVA Center’s website. The appendix provides details and statistics on the hate crimes and the prosecution of “extremist crimes”. All data were compiled on February 19, 2021.
