Robert Battle III

Robert Battle III, better known as Robert "Buddy" Battle, was an influential African American member of the United Auto Workers (UAW) and a founding member of the Trade Union Leadership Council (TULC).
==Biography==
Robert "Buddy" Battle III was born on June 4, 1917, in Detroit, Michigan. His father, presumably Robert Battle II [need citation], was a working-class black man. Battle, in 1936, started working at the Ford Rogue plant foundry where he eventually found himself an organizer for the United Auto Workers (UAW). 
Battle fought to get black representatives in the city of Detroit, including Coleman Young. Battle went to work for Young as a Mayor aide after his retirement from the UAW in 1983. In 1956, Battle married the ex-wife of Coleman Young, Marion McClellan Battle. Battle died at the age of 72, because of respiratory failure in Detroit, Michigan. 
==Labor organizing==
Battle, like many discriminated against workers, was tired of black laborers being forced to work the bottom-of-the-barrel jobs. Black workers were forced to work in dangerously hot parts of metalworking plants, to work in the dirtiest and least-kempt spaces, and in jobs that would never offer them any advancement or growth. 
During the years 1976-1983, he was the United Auto Workers' (UAW) region 1A's director. Following his term as regional director he was on the union's executive board and also served as director of child abuse prevention in the city of Detroit. 
The UAW didn't work to end racial discrimination in the workplace in ways that many black autoworkers thought was necessary. As a result Battle and many others came together and formed the TULC. Whereas most unions at the time were focused on focusing on the labor movement and didn't really work for equality in the work place by means of race, they just said everyone is equal. The TULC was focused on black workers and how they could represent them in the labor movement.

Robert Beech-Jones

Justice Robert Beech-Jones is a Judge of the New South Wales Supreme Court. He is the incoming Chief Judge at Common Law, a post that he will take up on 31 August 2021. He will also be elevated to the New South Wales Court of Appeal on that date.
Beech-Jones began practising law in Sydney in the 1980s. He was called to the New South Wales Bar Association in 1992, joined 11th Floor St James Hall, and was appointed senior counsel in 2006. He primarily practised in the areas of commercial law, regulatory enforcement, white collar crime and administrative law.
== Personal Life ==
Beech-Jones spent his childhood years in Savage River, Tasmania, although with a brief stint in Montreal, Canada. He studied law and science at the Australian National University, graduating with Honours in 1988. 
Beech-Jones is married to Australian playwright Suzie Miller, with whom he has two children. He also has three brothers. There is speculation that his parents are of Spain descent, having been dissenters during the dictatorial regime of Francisco Franco. It is said that they fled Spain in the mid-1900s and settled in Tasmania, where, for anonymity they adopted the surname 'Beech-Jones', an anglicisation of the traditional Spanish surname 'Béchjoñez'. 
Beech-Jones has a keen interest in Australian rules football, marathon running, mathematics, and grapes, the latter of which perhaps betrays his rumoured Spanish heritage.

Robert Birmelin

Robert Birmelin (b. 1933) is an American figurative painter, printmaker and draughtsman. In other contexts he is also known as August Robert or A. Robert Birmelin. He was born in Newark, New Jersey and currently resides in Leonia, New Jersey.
Robert Birmelin is best known for his paintings and drawings capturing the drama of close physical involvement as experienced in the movement and tensions of the urban crowd. He has also explored a range of other subjects, including landscape and recently, more subjective themes dealing with memory and time, often employing double imagery. Since 2016 he has focused mainly on drawing, producing several long horizontal narrative works, inspired by the format of Chinese and Japanese scrolls he has studied at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Drawing from life, from memory and imagination are central to his practice, strongly believing they yield more vigorous, personal visual imagery, than does the habit of relying to photographic sources, as is common among many contemporary figurative artists.
Birmelin studied at the Cooper Union Art School (1951-1954) and Yale University School of Art (1954-1956, BFA and 1959-1960, MFA), where Josef Albers, Bernard Chaet, and Gabor Peterdi were his most important mentors. He received a Fulbright Fellowship to the Slade School of the University of London (1960-61), followed by a Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome (1961-64).
Birmelin's work has been seen in 55 one-person exhibitions in the USA and internationally, from his first show at The Stable Gallery in New York in 1960 to his most recent show at the Luise Ross Gallery in New York in 2016. His exhibitions include retrospectives at: 
* The Columbus Museum, Columbus, Georgia (2003)
* The Jaffe-Friede Gallery at Dartmouth College (1999)
* The Jersey City Museum, Jersey City, New Jersey (1997)
He has also participated in many group exhibitions in the United States and Europe.
Birmelin’s works are represented in 50 public collections, among them The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and The Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C.
Birmelin has received awards and grants from The National Endowment for the Arts, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, The National Academy, The American Academy of Arts and Letters, The Joan Mitchell Foundation, as well as four grants from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and three from The National Endowment for the Arts.
Birmelin was Professor in the Art Department at Queens College of The City University of New York from 1964 to 1999, and also has lectured at colleges and universities through out the US.
In 1960, he and Blair Tillisch (1937-2020) were married. She was an artist and novelist. They have two sons: Lucas, a medical doctor and Nicholas, a musician.Turtle Bay Music School.

Robert Daspit

Robert Daspit (born 11 February 1983), also known as the Millionaire Chauffeur, is an American entrepreneur, best known as the founder of Lagniappe Chauffeured Services, New Orleans’ leading luxury ground transportation company. Daspit has emerged as a pioneer in the chauffeur industry in the city, addressing the gaps in the transportation sector.
Under Daspit’s leadership, Lagniappe Chauffeured Services has become the top car/chauffeur/transportation service company in New Orleans, offering both corporate and private transfers in luxury vehicles such as Mercedes Benz, Cadillac Escalade, and others.
==Early life and education==
Daspit was born on 11 February 1983 in Metairie, Louisiana. He grew up in Destrehan, where he completed his high school education.
==Career==
Daspit founded Lagniappe Chauffeured Services in 2010 with the aim to combine the art of chauffeuring with luxury, privacy, personalization, and convenience all in one place. The creation of the Lagniappe Chauffeured Services was mainly pushed by the growing demand for luxury car rental services in the city. The idea behind the inception of this firm was to serve the city's most affluent residents, including CEOs, celebrities, and members of the media elite.
It began offering an alternative taxi service that incorporates some of the luxury aspects of a chauffeur service while remaining price competitive with regular taxis. The company's services later expanded to cover airport transfers, chauffeur services, exhibition transfers, limousine services, and private car services among other things.
The highlighting feature of Daspit’s firm is that the chauffeurs adhere to a stringent code of conduct and are required to arrive 15 minutes ahead of the arrival of commercial flights and half an hour prior to the arrival of private planes. These unique services have positioned Lagniappe Chauffeured Services on top of the transportation market in New Orleans.
