They are centrally located in Kansas City, MO but ship all around the world. They believe that Modern Art has taken over the world en masse, and the Catholic Art Company strives to bring back the knowledge and awareness of traditional styles of painting such as Medieval Art, Renaissance Art, Roccoco and Baroque, and even some disciplines from the 19th century. The Catholic Art Company believes that all Traditional Western Art is necessarily Christian as it results from

sponsorships of the Christian Nobility of Europe, and the styles that are pre-Modern Era stem from those same disciplines.

To the west of this settlement (and outside the borders of the National Historic Site) is a shell midden contemporary with the settlement, from which numerous shards of Jomon period pottery, tools and other artifacts have been recovered. The site of the government office ruins is located on flat land to the northeast of this settlement. The

"Negishi Government Offices Sites"

site measures 600 meters north-south and 300 meters east-west, and contained a large administrative building, flanked by buildings in symmetrical positions in the east and west, forming a “U”-shape. The compound was protected by a wooden palisade. This arrangement was common to Nara period and Heian period county administrative complexes in other parts of the country. It is estimated that this complex was in use from the latter half of the 7th century to the 9th century.To the west and to the southwest of this complex are two large areas with the foundation stones for numerous warehouses, which were used

"Negishi Government Offices Sites"

for storing taxation grains. In between these two areas was a valley used as a midden in the Nara and Heian periods. A large number of relics such as wooden tags, wooden products, and pottery were excavated. To the south of the southern warehouse area are the ruins of large-scale pit dwellings and square-walled standing pillar buildings, the largest of which has side 10 meters in length. These ruins date from around the 7th century to the 8th century and are thus contemporary with the government buildings complex. It is assumed that this was the residence of the local ruler

"Yevgeny Maximov"

Yevgeny Maximov Yevgeny Yakovlevich Maximov (4 March 1849 – 1 October 1904) was a Russian adventurer, soldier and journalist mostly remembered for his service on the Boar side during the Second Anglo-Boar War. Maximov was born in Tsarskoye Selo, an upper class suburb of St. Petersburg, the son of a Russian naval officer and a Swedish aristocrat. During his youth, he studied at the Institute of Technology and the law faculty of St. Petersburg University. In 1869, Maximov joined the Imperial Russian Army as an officer in His Majesty's Cuirassier Life Guard Regiment after passing the officer's exam. The boring

21015241

"Yevgeny Maximov"

and routine-bound life of an officer in peace-time proved to be difficult for Maximov who had a hyper-active personality and who craved action. In 1875, Maximov attempted to commit suicide, which led to him being dishonorably discharged from the Army. The failed suicide attempt and the dishonorable discharge created a black mark on Maximov's career, which he spent the rest of his life trying to erase. The British historian R.W Johnson called Maximov a tragic figure as his dishonorable discharge from the Russian Army owing to his suicide attempt marked him out as a man whose honor could never be

21015242

"Yevgeny Maximov"

redeemed, leading Maximov to volunteer in successive wars in attempts to prove his courage to the world and restore his lost honor. In 1876, Maximov volunteered to fight with the Serbs against the Ottoman Empire, showing much bravery under fire. In between his bouts as a volunteer, Maximov worked as a newspaper correspondent for St. Peterburg newspapers, mostly in Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Balkans, and the Middle East, always covering wars. In 1880, Maximov served with a Flying Medical Company offering medical aid to wounded men during the Russian conquest of Turkmenistan. During this time, Maximov met Mikhail Skobelev,

21015243

"Yevgeny Maximov"

the famous "White General" who led the conquest of Central Asia, who always remained Maximov's role model. In 1881 after the assassination of the Emperor Alexander II by "Narodnik" terrorists, the monarchist Maximov joined the Corps of Gendarmes in order to fight against anarchists and he served in the Caucasus until his resignation in 1884. In 1895-96, Maximov served as a volunteer with the Ethiopians against the Italians. In 1897, Maximov served as a volunteer with the Greeks against the Ottomans. Afterwards, he worked as a journalist in Afghanistan and Iran. Maximov described himself as fascinated with "civilised warfare which

21015244

"Yevgeny Maximov"

attracts men of certain description, and to them a well fought battle is the highest form of exciting amusement". In 1899, Maximov went to South Africa as the correspondent of the newspapers "Novoie Vremia", "Sankt-Peterburgskiie Vedomosti" and "Rossiia". Despite the way his career had ended in disgrace, Maximov was probably sent to South Africa to observe the war for the Russian general staff as he met several officers of the General Staff in St. Petersburg before leaving. The British tried to prevent Maximov from going to South Africa, forcing him to get off his ship in Alexandria, Egypt, saying his

21015245

"Yevgeny Maximov"

presence was not desired in South Africa. Undeterred, Maximov traveled via train from Alexandria to Port Said. Maximov was able to board a ship in Port Said that took him to Djibouti, Zanzibar, Madagascar and finally to Lourenço Marques (modern Maputo, Mozambique). From Portuguese East Africa, Maximov was able to make his way to the Transvaal. A conservative nationalist and monarchist, Maximov disliked those Russian volunteers on the left such as Prince Mikhail Yengalychev and Alexander Essen. A Belgian woman who served as a nurse with the Transvaal volunteers, Alice Bron, described Maximov: "The colonel, in fact, is a man

21015246

"Yevgeny Maximov"

of action, and his manners savour somewhat of the camp. He is a believer in the poetry of war, and says he likes nothing better than to hear the whistling of bullets and the thunder of cannon; and, in fact, when he indulges in recollections of his service with Skobelev, the handsome 'white cuirassier', his face lights up, and he becomes a poet inspired by the noise of war." Bron also described him: "He is as bold as a lion, though he's as obstinate as a mule." In March 1900, Maximov become the deputy commander of the European Legion which

21015247

"Yevgeny Maximov"

was commanded by the Frenchman George Henri Anne-Marie Victor de Villebois-Mareuil. On 4 March 1900, Maximov met with President Martinus Theunis Steyn of the Orange Free State and on 13 March 1900 met with President Paul Kruger of the Transvaal Republic. The Russian journalist Yevgeny Augustus who was covering the war wrote about Maximov: "By ways known only to him he earned the confidence of the Transvaal authorities, began to visit President Kruger without ceremony, became quite at home with old Reitz, entered into relations with Steyn...To us ordinary mortals who never even dreamed of the honour to have tea

21015248

"Yevgeny Maximov"

with Kruger or Reitz, his activities seemed highly mysterious." An excellent marksman and horseman, Maximov's skills with guns and horses always impressed the Boars. Maximov ability to shoot springboks from a moving train at the distance of 800 metres without ever missing as he did several times on a train ride from Pretoria to Bloemfontein was considered to be phenomenal. Deeply fascinated with South Africa, Maximov took numerous photographs of the South African countryside, cities, and towns together with photographs of Boar commanders and the Zulu people, whom he was interested in, and which were later found to be in

21015249

"Yevgeny Maximov"

the possession of his son Alexander, a mining engineer in the 1970s. After Villebois-Mareuil was killed, Maximov was considered to be the commander of the European Legion, but his reputation as a harsh disciplinarian ensured that he was instead given the commander of the Hollander Corps. The strict discipline that Maximov imposed in training the volunteers of the European Legion made him unpopular and the fact he had served in the Corps of the Gendarmes made especially unpopular with the Russian volunteers. One French volunteer wrote "...the Russians who could not pardon his position as a police officer and even

21015250

"Yevgeny Maximov"

professed a certain contempt for him". On 30 April 1900, Maximov led the Hollander Corps in the Battle of Thaba Nchu, where he was seriously wounded. During the battle, Maximov fought with the British Army Captain Beachcroft Towse and fired the shot that blinded Towse in both eyes while at the same time Towse fired a shot into Maximov. As Towse was awarded a Victoria Cross, the battle of Tabu Nchu brought international attention to Maximov, through the British press falsely reported that Maximov had been killed.. At Taba Nchu, Maximov suffered a splintered shoulder, a badly damaged shoulder blade

and a serious wound to his skull, which rendered him unfit for further military service, leading to being honorably discharged from the Transvaal service. One of the Transvaal leaders, State Secretary Francis William Reitz told the Russian nurse Sophia Izedinova: "You know, sister...that I am not greatly impressed by all these foreigners who come offering us their services, but concerning your countryman, I am happy to say that we were both mistaken in our caution. All our commandos who have come into contact with Colonel Maximov, praise his bravery, his ability to discipline men and the value of his advice.

General Louis Botha said that although he is no coward himself and has seen many brave men, he not only never saw, but never imagined anything like the bravery of this Russian colonel. And one of the Dutch who served under him, said that one couldn't but follow him, he is a real leader." The Russian historians' Apollon Davidson and Irina Filatova cautioned that judging from the gushy tone that Izedinova always used when discussing Maximov in her book that she was clearly infatuated with him, and her picture of him may have somewhat idealised, but at the same time

21015253

"Yevgeny Maximov"

noted that other people who knew Maximov also spoke about him in an admiring way. Afterwards, Maximov was elected a "veggeneraal" (fighting general) by the Transvaal burgers, but the extent of his injuries prevented him from assuming command. Together with de Villebois-Mareuil, Maximov was the only non-Boar to serve as a "veggeneraal", and he was the only one elected to that position. Izedinova's partiality towards Maximov was due to the fact she was in love with him, but Bron who was rather more critical wrote about how at the last session of Transvaal "Volksraad" (People's Council), two special chairs of

honor were brought in for:"...the Irish publicist and patriot Michael Davitt with his long beard and still young face and the wounded and profusely bandaged General Maximov. Before the entry of President Kruger there occurred a small incident which it gladdens me to be able to record. The chairman, General Lukas Meyer, had already taken his seat, when General Smuts went to him and drew his attention to something in the hall. Then he got up, descended from his elevated seat and approaching General Maximov, publicly thanked him on his own behalf and that of all his comrades, for his

21015255

"Yevgeny Maximov"

services to their country and for the blood he had shed in its defence. Still weak from his wounds, Maximov was confused and, partially rising, murmured something about the insignificance of his services." After the fall of Johannesburg and Pretoria at the end of May 1900, Maximov left the Transvaal as his wounds made him unfit for guerrilla warfare. Upon his return to Russia, Maximov happened to be riding in the same railroad car as the mistress of the German nobleman Prince Alexander von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, who was serving as one of the bodyguards of the Emperor Nicholas II. After she

21015256

"Yevgeny Maximov"

insulted him, he insulted her back, leading to Prince Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg to challenge him to a duel. Maximov tried to refuse the duel, but as he was unwilling to apologize to Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg's mistress as she insulted him first, being only willing to express regret for calling her a "whore" who had sold herself to a foreigner, he felt he no choice, but to go through with the duel as he did not wished to be seen as a coward. Maximov knew that as an expert marksman, he could easily kill the prince, and decided to let his opponent fire the first

21015257

"Yevgeny Maximov"

shot and he would then shoot Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg in the leg. Unknown to both men, the seconds in the duel had deliberately overloaded their guns to make them shoot high so that nobody would be killed; as a result Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg missed Maximov, but Maximov's attempt to shoot him in the leg instead led to the bullet going into his chest, killing him. The death of Prince von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg in the duel in St. Petersburg on 16 August 1901 attracted massive media attention all over Europe. Afterwards, Maximov was convicted of murder in a sensational trial, but he was pardoned by the

21015258

"Yevgeny Maximov"

Emperor Nicholas II. On 13 February 1902, President Kruger from his exile in the Netherlands sent Maximov a telegram reading: "Your services to my Fatherland were extraordinarily important and deserve great respect. Motivated by the absolutely selfless impulse of your soul, you have fulfilled your duty as an able and fearless representative of the Volunteer Commando under your leadership,-and I am convinced that if it were not for the inevitable circumstances that made you leave, you would have still continued to fight for the sacred cause of liberty and justice, which you so nobly considered to be your duty. Let

"Yevgeny Maximov"

everything that you have done during your lifetime be the source of great moral satisfaction for you, and let happiness and prosperity be your destiny. This is my sincere wish". After Maximov's release from prison, friends of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg tried to poison him at a party and failing that, threw him from a third story window, causing Maximov to suffer several broken ribs. Maximov then married a much younger woman who bore him a son, Alexander. In February 1904, Maximov tried to volunteer to fight in the Russian-Japanese war, saying he was outraged by the Japanese attacking the Russian naval base

at Port Arthur (modern Lüshun, China) without a declaration of war, and was refused. After writing to the Dowager Empress, Dagmar of Denmark, Maximov was permitted to rejoin the Imperial Russian Army in September 1904. From Mukden (modern Shenyang, China), Maximov sent off his last telegram to his wife, wishing her and their son well. On 1 October 1904, Maximov was killed in action fighting against the Japanese on the plains of Manchuria in the Battle of Shaho. In his death, Maximov was able to regain the honor that he lost in life, and Russian newspapers described him as a

Yevgeny Maximov Yevgeny Yakovlevich Maximov (4 March 1849 – 1 October 1904) was a Russian adventurer, soldier and journalist mostly remembered for his service on the Boar side during the Second Anglo-Boar War. Maximov was born in Tsarskoye Selo, an upper class suburb of St. Petersburg, the son of a Russian naval officer and a Swedish aristocrat. During his youth, he studied at the Institute of Technology and the law faculty of St. Petersburg University. In 1869, Maximov joined the Imperial Russian Army as an officer in His Majesty's Cuirassier Life Guard Regiment after passing the officer's exam. The

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

Wealth of Donald Trump The net worth of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, stood at $3.1 billion as of 2018, according to "Forbes". Various organizations have estimated and investigated Trump's wealth. Trump has often stated higher values for his wealth than organizations estimating it. Trump is the beneficiary of several trust funds set up by his father and paternal grandmother beginning in 1949. In 1976, Fred Trump set up trust funds of $1 million ($ million in dollars) for each of his five children and three grandchildren. Donald Trump received annual payments from his trust fund,

21015267

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

for example, $90,000 in 1980 and $214,605 in 1981. By 1993, when Trump took two loans totaling $30 million from his siblings, their anticipated shares of Fred's estate amounted to $35 million each. Upon Fred Trump's death in 1999, his will divided $20 million after taxes among his surviving children. In a sworn deposition, Trump testified that he once borrowed $9.6 million from his father, calling it "a very small amount of money", but could not recall when he did so. Trump has since told campaign audiences he began his career with "a small loan of one million dollars" from

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

his father, which he paid back with interest: "it has not been easy for me", Trump told one New Hampshire crowd. Trump has often repeated this claim. In October 2018, "The New York Times" published an "exposé" drawing on more than 100,000 pages of tax returns and financial records from Fred Trump's businesses, and interviews with former advisers and employees. The "Times" concluded that Donald Trump "was a millionaire by age 8", and that he had received at least $413 million (adjusted for inflation) from his father's business empire over his lifetime. According to the "Times", Trump borrowed at least

21015269

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

$60 million from his father, and largely failed to reimburse him. The paper also described a number of purportedly fraudulent tax schemes, for example when Fred Trump sold shares in "Trump Palace" condos to his son well below their purchase price, thus masking what could be considered a hidden donation, and benefiting from a tax write-off. A lawyer for Trump said the "allegations of fraud and tax evasion are 100 percent false, and highly defamatory". A spokesman for the New York State tax department said the agency was "vigorously pursuing all appropriate areas of investigation". New York City officials also

21015270

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

indicated they are examining the matter. Trump was listed on the initial "Forbes List" of wealthy individuals in 1982 as having a share of his family's estimated $200 million net worth. Former "Forbes" reporter Jonathan Greenberg stated in 2018 that during the 1980s Trump had deceived him about his actual net worth and his share of the family assets in order to appear on the list. According to Greenberg, "it took decades to unwind the elaborate farce Trump had enacted to project an image as one of the richest people in America. Nearly every assertion supporting that claim was untrue.

Trump wasn’t just poorer than he said he was. Over time, I have learned that he should not have been on the first three Forbes 400 lists at all. In our first-ever list, in 1982, we included him at $100 million, but Trump was actually worth roughly $5 million — a paltry sum by the standards of his super-monied peers — as a spate of government reports and books showed only much later." After several years on the "Forbes List", Trump's financial losses in the 1980s caused him to be dropped from 1990 to 1995, and reportedly obliged him to

21015272

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

borrow from his siblings' trusts in 1993; in 2005, "The New York Times" referred to Trump's "verbal billions" in a skeptical article about Trump's self-reported wealth. At the time, three individuals with direct knowledge of Trump's finances told reporter Timothy L. O'Brien that Trump's actual net worth was between $150 and $250 million, though Trump then publicly claimed a net worth of $5 to $6 billion. Claiming libel, Trump sued the reporter (and his book publisher) for $5 billion, lost the case, and then lost again on appeal; Trump refused to turn over his unredacted tax returns despite his assertion

21015273

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

they supported his case. In April 2011, amid speculation whether Trump would run as a candidate in the United States presidential election of 2012, Politico quoted unnamed sources close to him stating that, if Trump should decide to run for president, he would file "financial disclosure statements that [would] show his net worth [was] in excess of $7 billion with more than $250 million of cash, and very little debt." Although Trump did not run as a candidate in the 2012 elections, his "professionally prepared" 2012 financial disclosure was published in his book, which claimed a $7 billion net worth.

On June 16, 2015, just prior to announcing his candidacy for president of the United States, Trump released a one-page financial statement "from a big accounting firm—one of the most respected"—stating a net worth of $8,737,540,000. "I'm really rich", Trump said. "Forbes" believed his claim of $9 billion was "a whopper," figuring it was actually $4.1 billion. In June 2015, "Business Insider" published Trump's June 2014 financial statement, noting that $3.3 billion of that total is represented by "Real Estate Licensing Deals, Brand and Branded Developments", described by "Business Insider" as "basically [implying] that Trump values his character at $3.3

billion." "Forbes" reduced its estimate of Trump's net worth by $125 million following Trump's controversial 2015 remarks about Mexican illegal immigrants, which ended Trump's business contracts with NBCUniversal, Univision, Macy's, Serta, PVH Corporation, and Perfumania. In 2016, "Forbes" estimated Trump's net worth at $3.7 billion, and "Bloomberg" $3 billion. During the three years since Trump announced his presidential run in 2015, Forbes estimated his net worth declined 31% and his ranking fell 138 spots. Discrepancies in estimates of various organizations is due in part to the uncertainty of appraised property values, as well as Trump's own assessment of the value

21015276

"Wealth of Donald Trump"

of his personal brand. In its 2018 billionaires ranking, "Forbes" estimated Trump's net worth at $3.1 billion (766th in the world, 248th in the U.S.). Bloomberg Billionaires Index listed Trump's net worth as $2.48 billion on May 31, 2018, and Wealth-X listed it as at least $3.8 billion on July 16, 2018. In July 2015, federal election regulators released new details of Trump's self-reported wealth and financial holdings when he became a Republican presidential candidate, reporting that his assets are worth above $1.4 billion, which includes at least $70 million in stocks, and a debt of at least $265 million.

According to "Bloomberg", for the purposes of Trump's FEC filings Trump "only reported revenue for [his] golf properties in his campaign filings even though the disclosure form asks for income", noting independent filings showing all three of his major European golf properties were unprofitable. Mortgages on Trump's major properties—including Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street, and the Trump National Doral golf course—each fall into the "above $50 million" range, the highest reportable category on FEC filings, with Trump paying interest rates ranging from 4% to 7.125%. Mortgages on those three properties were separately reported as $100 million, $160 million, and $125

"Bloomberg" documented debt of at least $605 million in 2016.

Trump has often given much higher values for his wealth than organizations estimating it. Trump has testified that "my net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings—even my own feelings." On the same day, Trump's own stated estimates of

his net worth have varied by as much as $3.3 billion. Trump has also acknowledged that past exaggerated estimates of his wealth have been "good for financing". "Forbes" has said that although Trump "shares a lot of information with us that helps us get to the figures we publish," he "consistently pushes for a higher net worth—especially when it comes to the value of his personal brand." A 2016 analysis of Trump's business career in "The Economist" concluded that his performance since 1985 had been "mediocre compared with the stock market and property in New York." A subsequent analysis in

He was the city painter of Leuven where he spent his entire known career. Not much is known about the life of Jan Willems. He was the son of the painter Jan Willems the Elder. His father was likely his teacher. His brother Peter was also a painter. In 15th-16th century Leuven there were a few of these artists' families such as the families Bouts, Willems and Rombouts. The craft was often passed

"Jan Willems (painter)"

on from father to son: sons learned the trade in the workshop of the father, stayed on as a servant or master-servant and took over the workshop after the death of their father. Artist families often intermarried in that era. Jan Willems himself married Marie Rombouts, the daughter of the city painter Jan Rombouts the Elder, who himself was related to the famous glass painter Nicolaas Rombouts. Willems was certainly already active in 1520, as to that year dates the earliest document stating his name: he was paid for the polychrome of a stone statue. With his brother-in-law Jan Rombouts

the Younger, Jan Willems collaborated on at least one, now lost, ensemble, the Saint Severinus altarpiece, which had been commissioned by the Weavers' Guild for the St. Peter's Church in Leuven. Willems was appointed the city painter of Leuven, a post he held from 1527 to 1548. In that capacity he received a number of commissions from the city, especially in relation to the decorations for the annual Ommegang, as well as for other decorative projects of a temporary nature. He also received a number of commissions from the local chambers of rhetoric. The artist was paid by the city

21015287

"Jan Willems (painter)"

for his assistance in the organisation of a passion play by the chamber of rhetoric of De Rozelieren. The nature of his assistance is not specified but likely involved the provision of decorations for the play. The chamber of rhetoric of De Kersouwe paid him in 1547 for the polychrome of the statue of Saint Margaret. With the help of assistants, Willems created the figure of the giant Megera for its first appearance in the Ommegang of Leuven of 1532. He received the commission to restore the Last Judgment of Dieric Bouts in the Leuven town hall. Other works by

For the Saint Quentin's Church in Leuven, Jan Willems painted the predella and the side panels of a sculpted retable of Saint Quentin, that had been commissioned in 1538 from the Leuven sculptor Joris Asselijns. Willems was also tasked with the polychrome of the sculpture. He was paid in 1534 for a number of painted panels for the Park Abbey in Heverlee.

This large panel painting of 94 high by 180 cm wide is now kept in the Saint Quentin's Church in Leuven. The painting was donated to the church around 1557 as a legacy of Adriaan van Blehem, one of the most important benefactors of Saint Quentin's Church.
