Viron P. Vaky
Viron Peter Vaky (September 13, 1925 – November 22, 2012) was an American diplomat who was United States Ambassador to Costa Rica (1972–74), Colombia (1974–76), and Venezuela (1976). He was a member of  the American Academy of Diplomacy and Council on Foreign Relations.

American Academy of Diplomacy
The American Academy of Diplomacy is a private, nonprofit, non-partisan, elected organization whose active membership is limited to men and women who have held positions of high responsibility in crafting and implementing American foreign policy. They have served the United States as chiefs of mission in major embassies abroad, and/or equivalent high-level foreign policy positions in Washington.

In its early years, the Academy provided the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations with commentary on the qualifications of those nominated by the President as ambassadors, but today it only does so in exceptional circumstances, such as if the Board of Directors feels strongly about a nominee's lack of qualifications to be ambassador.

The academy is financially supported by its members, and by grants from foundations and corporate contributors.

Sponsored by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, the exhibition was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and played an important role in the emergence of postwar avant-garde and contemporary art in Japan.

Historian Thomas Havens has called the Yomiuri Indépendant "the chief vehicle of postwar democracy for young visual artists in Japan who lacked connections with the clubby fine arts establishment" and "a bazaar of new ideas and materials." Among artists who exhibited artworks at the Yomiuri Indépendant included Genpei Akasegawa, Shūsaku Arakawa, Nobuaki Kojima, Tetsumi Kudо̄, the Kyūshū-ha group, Natsuyuki Nakanishi, Tarō Okamoto, Ushio Shinohara, Mitsuko Tabe, Jirō Takamatsu, Katsuhiro Yamaguchi, and Jirō Yoshihara.

Strategy video game
A strategy video game is a video game genre that emphasizes strategic or tactical planning and decision-making, often involving the indirect control of multiple units and the management of limited resources, rather than the quick reflexes typical of action games.

Strategy video games are commonly divided into two main forms: turn-based strategy (TBS), in which players act in discrete turns, and real-time strategy (RTS), in which play proceeds continuously. Many also incorporate elements such as tactics, diplomacy, economics, or exploration.

Electronic strategy games developed in part from earlier non-digital board games and wargames, and scholars note that the definition of “strategy” in games is not entirely uniform across contexts.

George Weston Wrigley
George Weston Wrigley (1847–1907) was a Canadian journalist and social reformer. 
He was a believer in the Social Gospel and was an opponent of industrial capitalism, which he blamed for many social ills.
He was the editor of several newspapers that promoted reform in the later part of the 19th century.

Reformism (historical)
Reformism is a type of social movement that aims to bring a social or also a political system closer to the community's ideal. A reform movement is distinguished from more radical social movements such as revolutionary movements which reject those old ideals, in that the ideas are often grounded in liberalism, although they may be rooted in socialist (specifically, social democratic) or religious concepts. Some rely on personal transformation; others rely on small collectives, such as Mahatma Gandhi's spinning wheel and the self-sustaining village economy, as a mode of social change. Reactionary movements, which can arise against any of these, attempt to put things back the way they were before any successes the new reform movement(s) enjoyed, or to prevent any such successes.
