William Mitchell (sculptor)
William George Mitchell (30 April 1925 – 30 January 2020) was an English sculptor, artist and designer. He is best known for his large scale concrete murals and public works of art from the 1960s and 1970s. His work is often of an abstract or stylised nature with its roots in the traditions of craft and "buildability". His use of heavily modelled surfaces created a distinctive language for his predominantly concrete and glass reinforced concrete (GRC) sculptures. After long years of neglect, many of William Mitchell's remaining works in the United Kingdom are now being recognised for their artistic merit and contemporary historic value, and have been granted protective, listed status. Life and career William Mitchell was born in April 1925 in London's Maida Vale. Serious illness in his early years and extensive periods in hospitals and convalescent homes, resulted in virtually no schooling. In 1938 Mitchell was apprenticed to an established London firm of decorators, where h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jónsson Cardinal
In set theory, a Jónsson cardinal (named after Bjarni Jónsson) is a certain kind of large cardinal number. An uncountable cardinal number κ is said to be ''Jónsson'' if for every function ''f'': sup><ω → κ there is a set ''H'' of order type κ such that for each ''n'', ''f'' restricted to ''n''-element subsets of ''H'' omits at least one value in κ. Every is Jónsson. By a theorem of Eugene M. Kleinberg, the theories ZFC + “there is a ” and ZFC + “there is a Jónsson cardinal” are equiconsistent. |

Billy Mitchell
William Lendrum Mitchell (December 29, 1879 – February 19, 1936) was a United States Army officer who is regarded as the father of the United States Air Force. Mitchell served in France during World War I and, by the conflict's end, commanded all American air combat units in that country. After the war, he was appointed deputy director of the Air Service and began advocating increased investment in air power, believing that this would prove vital in future wars. He argued particularly for the ability of bombers to sink battleships and organized a series of bombing runs against stationary ships designed to test the idea. He antagonized many administrative leaders of the Army with his arguments and criticism and in 1925, his temporary appointment as a brigadier general was not renewed, and he reverted to his permanent rank of colonel, due to his insubordination. Later that year, he was court-martialed for insubordination after accusing Army and Navy leaders of an "almost trea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
