# John Palmer (1842–1905)

John Palmer (March 22, 1842 – April 15, 1905 in Albany, New York) was an American politician who served as Secretary of State of New York from 1894 to 1898.

## Early life

Palmer was born in Stapleton, Staten Island, a son of John and Rebecca Palmer. His parents returned with him to England when Palmer was still a small child. Later he accompanied his seafaring grandfather, and witnessed the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War from their freighter. When his parents returned to the United States, settled in Bath-on-the-Hudson, New York, and opened a paint shop, Palmer joined them and became a house painter.

## Military career

At the outbreak of the American Civil War, he enlisted as a private in the 91st Regiment of New York Volunteers and fought his way up to be brevetted a captain of volunteers, participating in the campaigns of the Army of the Gulf under General Nathaniel P. Banks. His father, who had enlisted too, was killed in battle at Petersburg, Virginia. At the expiration of his three-year enlistment, Palmer re-enlisted, and the regiment was transferred to the V Corps of the Army of the Potomac under General G. K. Warren. He was seriously injured at the Battle of Five Forks when a shot horse fell on top of him, and his back was cut by the sword of its rider.

## Political career

After the war, he returned to Albany and resumed his trade as a house painter. He married Margaret Moore in 1867, and they had four children. He became President of the Albany Builders' Exchange, Chairman of the Arbitration Committee, President of the Painters' Association of the State of New York, Vice President of the Decorators's and Painters' Association of the United States.
In August 1891, at the national encampment at Detroit, he was chosen Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was also a member of the New York Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States.
'He was Chairman of the committee appointed by the National Encampment to visit President Cleveland during his first term.'
He was Secretary of State of New York from 1894 to 1898, elected in 1893 and 1895 on the Republican ticket. He is the maternal grandfather of John Palmer Harcourt Jr, a retired educator who served as assistant secretary to the Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
The building that now houses the Albany Damien Center was originally constructed for Palmer and his family in 1875. "Following his death, ownership was transferred to Palmer’s wife, Margaret, but the property was then sold in 1910 to the Vice President of Ryan & Graves Insurance, Samuel C Harcourt."

# John McGowan (professor)

John McGowan (1953-- ) is the John W. and Anna H. Hanes Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He served as the Director of UNC's Institute for the Arts and Humanities from 2006 to 2014 and the Director of UNC's Graduate School Royster Society of Fellows from 1998 to 2001. His work is situated at the intersection of political philosophy, cultural studies, and literary criticism. He is the author of six books and a co-editor of four more.
McGowan's Postmodernism and its Critics provides a guide to a range of postmodern thinkers (Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Richard Rorty, and Edward Said among others) while also criticizing their anarchistic politics in the name of a robust communitarian understanding of democracy. He pursues that account of democracy in four subsequent books: the first on Hannah Arendt's productive critique of today's diminished understanding of politics; the second on the role of intellectuals in contemporary society; the third his articulation of the principal values and commitments of the "American liberalism" of FDR and John Dewey, and the fourth his return to the pragmatist philosophical tradition to offer the case for liberal democracy. In all these works, he is concerned with how democracy has been understood and in how it has been lived on the ground.
McGowan blogs at his personal website, Public Intelligence.

# John Melville Kelly

John Melville Kelly (1879–1962) was an American painter and printmaker.

## Biography

He was born in Oakland, California in 1879. He studied art at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art (now the San Francisco Art Institute), the Partington Art School (San Francisco) and with Eric Spencer Macky.
Kelly worked for fourteen years as an illustrator for the San Francisco Examiner, and had even been a prizefighter, before he and his wife, the sculptor Kate Kelly, went to Hawaii in 1923. Their plan was to stay a year, working for an advertising agency creating material to promote tourism. They fell in love with the islands and the people and stayed permanently. Kate took a class in printmaking at the University of Hawaii with Huc-Mazelet Luquiens (1881–1961), and then taught John the techniques.
John’s ravishing depictions of Polynesians was, in fact, what distinguished him from other artists in Hawaii at the time. The Kellys immediately identified with the native Hawaiians and became their champions in images and in print. John produced etchings and aquatints, primarily of human figures, though he occasionally did landscapes as well. He authored and illustrated "Etchings and Drawings of Hawaiians" in 1943, and "The Hula as Seen in Hawaii" in 1955. John Melville Kelly died in Honolulu in 1962.
The Hawaii State Art Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City, Missouri), Saint Joseph College Art Gallery (West Hartford, Connecticut) and the San Diego Museum of Art (San Diego, California) are among the public collections holding work by John Melville Kelly.

# Neoclassical finance

Neoclassical finance is an approach within finance, developing since the mid-1960s, which holds that markets are efficient, and that prices will thus tend to equilibrium and be "rational"; and asset pricing models must then reflect these. It may be contrasted with, for example, behavioral finance which is based on differing, less idealized, assumptions regarding markets and investors. It built on earlier developments such as the Austrian School of economics, and cross-fertilized with atomic physics (see state price) and other heavily quantitative disciplines.

A helpline, or switchboard, is a telephone service which offers help to those who call.

# Kenya coast galago

The Kenya coast galago (Paragalago cocos) is a species of primate in the family Galagidae. It is found across Kenya and Tanzania, particularly around the northern coastal area of each of the countries, and has been located living from sea level to around 350 metres (1,150 ft) above sea level.

## Description

The Kenya coast galago has a dark, blackish patch on either side of the muzzle, and has light brown hair covering its body. It is morphologically similar to both P. z. udzungwensis and P. z. zanzibicarus, and though it is generally slightly larger than them, it has a high interspecific overlap in body size, meaning that there has been confusion over the taxonomy of the species. However, the Kenya coast galago, like many other galagos, has its own unique call, which has been called an incremental call and separates it from any other species in the same genus.

## Habitat

The Kenya coast galago is found in the middle storey of coastal lowland tropical moist forest, riverine forest, and some secondary growth such as cultivated mosaic habitat and rural gardens around the northern coast of Kenya and Tanzania, and lives from sea level to at least 210 m (690 ft) above sea level over the coastal zone of Kenya, and to at least 350 m (1,150 ft) in the foothills of the East Usambara Mountains, Tanzania.
