# Revature

Revature is a technology talent development company headquartered in Reston, Virginia, USA. Its business model involves hiring recent U.S. college graduates, training them in high demand software skills, and deploying them to work on information technology projects for Revature’s corporate and government clients.
Unlike coding “boot camps” and most other forms of information technology training, Revature does not charge its students tuition, instead paying them a salary during their training and project work.

## History

Revature was founded in 2003 (under the name Multivision) as a traditional staffing agency, but experienced difficulty finding prospective employees with the technology skills employers sought. Around 2014, it became a talent development company with the aim of supplying those unmet needs.
In March 2016, Revature raised $20 million in VC funding in a series A round led by University Ventures, Eden Capital and USA Funds.
In February 2019, Investcorp acquired a controlling stake in Revature for an undisclosed sum.
In its current form, the company’s clients have included Accenture plc, Capital One, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and REI Systems, Inc. According to the company, it has trained more than 7,000 software engineers and is, according to Bloomberg, the largest employer of emerging technology talent in the U.S.
In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Revature announced that it would “donate approximately 2,000 hours of instructor-led, virtual coding training to essential workers, their families and others who have been impacted by COVID-19.”

### Other initiatives

In September 2020, Revature announced the launch of a suite of new workforce reskilling services designed for companies seeking to retrain their existing employees.
Since 2020, the company has partnered with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to offer scholarships to undergraduates at historically black colleges and universities that are members of the Fund.

## Controversies

Revature has been criticized for the way it treats graduates who choose to leave the program within two years of their initial placement. In January 2021, the Medium tech publication OneZero reported that, according to contract documents, “associates [who] choose to quit within two years after the training... could be on the hook for a $36,500 quitting fee.”
The company defended the practice on the basis that students receive value from the training and placement. A spokesperson for the University of Maryland Global Campus (a Revature partner) agreed, comparing the “quitting fee” to the practices of the United States Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, which requires scholarship recipients to serve in the armed forces for a given period after graduation; otherwise, they must pay back the cost of college.
# Leonard Sargeant

Leonard Sargeant (March 17, 1793 – June 18, 1880) was a Vermont politician and lawyer who served as the 15th lieutenant governor of Vermont from 1846 to 1848.

## Early life

Sargeant was born in Dorset, Vermont on March 17, 1793, a son of Dr. John Sargeant and Delight (Bell) Sargeant.

Sargeant was also a farmer and served as Vice President of the Vermont Agricultural Society. He served in the War of 1812 as a member of the Vermont Militia company commanded by Abel Richardson. During the war, Sargeant made use of medical training obtained from his father to nurse sick and wounded soldiers. He was taken prisoner and held in Canada, where he remained until his father secured his release. In his later years, Sargeant received a pension for his wartime service.
He was active in the Whig party, and served in numerous offices including probate judge, state's attorney, postmaster and justice of the peace. He was a member of the Vermont Council of Censors in 1827, and a delegate to the 1836 Vermont constitutional convention.
His legal career included the noteworthy defense of Stephen and Jesse Boorn, brothers who were convicted and sentenced to life in prison (Jesse) and death (Stephen) for the killing of Russell Colvin, a man missing from Manchester. Several years later Colvin returned to Vermont to prove that he was still alive. He had moved to New Jersey after an altercation with the Boorns and changed his name. The Boorn case is the first known instance of a wrongful conviction for murder in the United States.

## Political career

Sargeant served in both the Vermont House of Representatives and Vermont Senate in the 1830s and 1840s. From 1846 to 1848 he served as Lieutenant Governor.

# Baccarat Rouge 540

Baccarat Rouge 540 is a fragrance originally created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian for the Baccarat crystal company. It has since expanded to becoming one of the best-selling fragrances in Europe and the United States. The fragrance has been widely imitated, with many consumers looking for "dupes" that replicate the fragrance at a lower price point.

## Background

In 2013, the crystal company Baccarat commissioned Kurkdjian to make a perfume for its two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary. Initially the perfume was a limited edition run of Baccarat crystal bottles, priced at three thousand Euros each. Released in fall 2014, Rouge 540 — named for the temperature at which Baccarat crystal is produced — quickly sold out, but Kurkdjian gave a bottle as a gift to the vice president of beauty at the department store Neiman Marcus, Kelly St. John, who received so many compliments on it that she suggested Kurkdjian produce it for sale at their stores.
Kurkdjian and Baccarat struck a deal allowing him to sell the synthetic gourmand fragrance in his signature square glass bottles, and it became one of the best-selling fragrances in the world, propelled by fragrance reviewers on TikTok.

## Awards

In 2024, Kurkdijan received the Hollywood Beauty Award for Fragrance of the Year for Baccarat Rouge 540.

She was one of the first German students to study in an Albanian-speaking environment, focusing on Albanian language and literature.

At the Berlin Academy of Sciences, Buchholz joined a dedicated group of young scholars. She collaborated with noted linguists like M. Bierwisch and worked in a research team led by W. Fiedler. Her dissertation, titled "Doubling of Objects in Albanian" (Zur Verdoppelung der Objekte im Albanischen), was completed in 1969 and published in 1977, pioneering the generative perspective on Albanian syntax.
From 1979 to 1989, Oda Buchholz taught at Humboldt University, where she developed courses such as "Albanian Syntax," "Language Practice in Albanian," and "Translation (Albanian-German, German-Albanian)." After 1990, she continued teaching and researching in Albanology and Balkanology at Freie Universität Berlin.
Buchholz collaborated with Wilfried Fiedler to write "Albanische Grammatik" (1987), a key work in the field of Albanian grammar. She also compiled Albanian-German and German-Albanian dictionaries together with Fiedler and G. Uhlisch, essential resources for scholars and translators. Her translations of Albanian literature into German include significant works such as Ismail Kadare's "The General of the Dead Army" (1977, 1988), an anthology of Kosovar poetry (1979, 1988), and Dritëro Agolli's "The Rise and Fall of Comrade Zylo" (1993).
