Simon Johannes van Douw (c. 1630 – after 1677 before 1697) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman. His work ranges from Italianizing landscapes, equestrian skirmishes and battles to cattle market and hunting scenes. He worked in Antwerp, Middelburg and Rotterdam.

Life
There are no details about the place of birth of Simon Johannes van Douw. It is possible that he was born in Antwerp. It is not known with whom he trained. He became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1655. He married Johanna Soolmaeckers in 1656. It is not clear whether she was related to the landscape painter Jan Frans Soolmaker. From this year he also had pupils in Antwerp.

On 1 November 1656 he became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in Middelburg. He was active in Middelburg until September 1657.
From 1659 he is recorded in Rotterdam. Here he was referred to as a 'burgher and painter' when he was involved in the sale of a house in 1666. He is documented in Rotterdam until 1677. From 1666 he is also recorded in Antwerp so he seems to have been active in Rotterdam and Antwerp at the same time. His last recorded work dates from 1677. It is not known when or where he died.

His pupils include Pieter van Bloemen and Carel Fonteyn. In 1664 he founded in Antwerp a school for the painting of battle scenes; Pieter van Bloemen, Frank Valk, and Pieter Verpoorten were involved in this school.

Work
His known works date from 1654 to 1677. Initially he mainly painted cavalry skirmishes and battles. Later he changed to the subjects of horse and cattle market and hunting scenes. His early works are stylistically related to the cabinet painting tradition in Antwerp. This is noticeable in the stage-like setting of the action, the breaking down of the landscape through colour thresholds and the atmospheric palette. He later increasingly was influenced by Philips Wouwermans. Some of his works are also similar to those of the landscape painter Jan Frans Soolmaker with whom he may have been related through marriage.

Van Douw was known for his accurate depictions of animals, especially horses. He often painted lively horses similar to Wouwermans. Although no evidence exists that he visited Italy, his imaginary landscapes are in the Italianate style and often depict classical ruins. They typically include a great number of figures engaged in a variety of activities.  A good example is the Italianizing Capriccio with Market Scene showing a large number of people engaged in trade and in play, enjoying themselves in the tavern or herding their flock.  The Italian influence is also evident in van Douw's human figures, which are often plump and round-faced, reminiscent of the genre painters in the circle of the Bamboccianti.  A number of Flemish painters such as Anton Goubau and Pieter Casteels II were painting similar scenes.

George Peter Faris (born c.1942), KC is a retired criminal lawyer, and former conservative media commentator and radio broadcaster in Melbourne, Australia.

Early career
He commenced practice as a solicitor in 1963 under the tutelage of the Australian defence lawyer Frank Galbally.

Legal career
Faris signed the roll of counsel of the Victorian Bar in 1970 and practiced as defence and prosecuting counsel in serious criminal cases. In the mid-1980s he "took silk" and became a King's Counsel, participating in criminal trials.

From 1989 to 1990 he was chairman of Australia's peak crime-fighting taskforce, the troubled National Crime Authority (now the Australian Crime Commission).

After leaving the NCA Faris returned to private practice as a barrister.

Media career

Faris’ hard-line conservative views found an audience at Melbourne’s 3AW radio station in 2006, and he promoted a self-published blog. The blog was entitled “Faris, QC” and subheaded “Australia, Love It or Leave It”.

He has promoted racial profiling, and campaigned against Wesley Central Mission's attempt to establish a health and rehabilitation centre for heroin addicts . He also received mention on the “Dishonour Board” of the Ernie Awards for insulting comments about women.  His advocacy of torture as an acceptable interrogation tactic became infamous and was widely condemned. 

In 2007 Faris asserted in the media that cocaine use was rife among Melbourne's legal profession, prompting an investigation of him by the Victorian Bar's ethics committee. In response, Faris announced that he would resign his Victorian Bar membership to practice as independent counsel.

On 25 January 2009, Faris announced that he would discontinue blogging:

Goodbye to all.I am closing this blog as I wish to concentrate my writing efforts elsewhere.
Thank you all for your support over the years.

The blog has since been dismantled .

Robert Allan Brown (1849–1931) was a well-known and flamboyant prospector and speculator in 19th and early 20th Century in the Canadian province of British Columbia. He was known generally as Volcanic Brown, especially in the province's Kootenay and Boundary districts and in adjoining Eastern Washington, and also as Sunset Brown in the Similkameen District and still also to others as Crazy Brown. His enthusiastic nature contributed to his nickname, and as result of that and his flamboyant personality he was a fixture in mining industry news in a wide region which spanned the British Columbia-United States border.

Brown was prominent in the Boundary Country and Inland Empire mining industries, in capacities ranging from being a notable and very successful prospector through to being a speculator, promoter and investor, and also the founder of Volcanic City, one of the many short-lived mining and smelting towns of the Boundary Country. He was a presence in many mining districts throughout the region  and led the way in discoveries of several important orebodies, although he never became wealthy.

Name origin
Brown's name derived from his theory that the richest copper deposits in the region had not yet been located, and believed it would be found in abundance where there had been volcanic activity, so spent much of his life searching the Boundary Country for that evidence.

Demise
In later years, he took up the story of the fabled lost goldmine near Pitt Lake and is believed to have died in the country beyond the upper valley of the Pitt River. A camp was found at the foot of the Stave Glacier, at the head of the Stave River, the next basin east of the Pitt's upper course with a glass jar containing 11 ounces of gold, but no remains were found, not even his solid gold dentures.

Legacy

Other than Volcanic City, other places named for Volcanic Brown include Volcanic Creek and Brown Creek, which enter the Granby River 15 km upstream from the town of Grand Forks, near the site of Volcanic City.

Pioneers of American Freedom: Origin of Liberal and Radical Thought in America is a book by the German anarcho-syndicalist Rudolf Rocker about the history of liberal, libertarian, and anarchist thought in the United States.

Rudolf Rocker started work on Pioneers of American Freedom during World War II. Professor Arthur E. Briggs started translating the book into English from Rocker's native German in 1941. He took over for Rocker's previous English translator Ray E. Chase as he had died. The book was published with the help of the Rocker Publishing Committee in 1949.

The first part of the book consists of a series of essays on the American liberal thinkers Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Abraham Lincoln. Rocker emphasizes the importance these men assign to individualism, freedom, and the subordination of the state to the welfare of the individual. This, Rocker claims, is a great similarity between anarchist and liberal thought.

The second part deals with American anarchists. Among those covered in the book are Josiah Warren, Stephen Pearl Andrews, Lysander Spooner, William Batchelder Greene, Ezra Heywood, and Benjamin Tucker. Rocker argues that these anarchists' emphasis on "free competition of individual and social forces as something inherent in human nature, which if suppressed will inevitably lead to the destruction of the social equilibrium" distinguishes them from authoritarian socialists. He claims that the problem in modern society is not too much competition, but a lack of it as the result of "the destructive forces of monopoly". Further, Rocker seeks to dispel the myth that radicalism in the United States was merely a foreign import, pointing to the fact that most of the thinkers covered by the book were undoubtedly American by descent and born in the New England states. In fact, he argues, they were active "before any modern radical movements were even thought of in Europe" and they were more influenced by the American Declaration of Independence than by any European thinker.

Roger Nash Baldwin said of Pioneers of American Freedom: "No American has been able to write such an analysis of our heretics and idealists." The Mississippi Valley Historical Review claimed the essays made no new contribution and considered the discussion of Lincoln inferior. The journal's review does, however, credit Rocker with "bringing together in an orderly discussion of all the important American material on philosophical anarchism before World War I". Joseph Dorfman, in his review in the Journal of Political Economy, credits Rocker with writing one of the first treatments of American radical history, considering it a "welcome supplement" to Eunice M. Schuster's Native American Anarchism.

Josef Witt GmbH (Witt-Gruppe) is a mail-order house, located in Weiden, Germany. The company is a 100% subsidiary of the Otto Group. Witt-Gruppe's oldest and best known brand is Witt Weiden.

History 

The company is the oldest mail-order house for clothes in Germany. It was founded in 1907 by Josef Witt (1884-1954). Josef Witt is regarded as a pioneer in the mail-order business in Germany.

In 1907 he took over his sister's grocer's store in Reuth bei Erbendorf. This was the beginning of what became later an extremely successful mail-order house.

In the 1930s the business had expanded significantly. The company had a workforce of 5,000 employees; sales raised to 86 million Reichsmarks. After the death of Josef Witt, his wife Monika continued the business operations from 1954 to 1958. Then their son, Josef Witt Jr., took over. Because of a sales crisis in the 1980s, the company was sold to Schwab, a subsidiary of the Otto Group.

The firm had an annual turnover of €1.178 billion in the fiscal year 2022-2023.

The company comprises eleven brands and sells its products in ten countries worldwide. Witt-Gruppe's oldest and best known brand ist Witt Weiden. 

Thomas Witt, the grandson of Josef Witt, founded the Museum Witt in Munich. The Witt family has no financial stake in Witt-Gruppe.
