# Mark Branson

**Mark Branson** (born 9 December 1968, Colchester, United Kingdom) is a British-Swiss financial market expert and former bank manager. He has been President of the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority since 1 August 2021 and was Director of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) from 2014 to 2021.

## Life

### Education

Branson studied Mathematics and Management Studies (M.A.) at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, from 1986 to 1990, and also obtained a master's degree in Operational Research (M.Sc.) at Lancaster University.

### Bank Manager

Initially, Branson worked for the major Swiss bank Credit Suisse, among other things in a management position in London. Between 1997 and 2009 he held various positions with UBS, another major Swiss bank, including Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) head of communications from 2001 to 2005. From 2006 to 2008, he held the position of CEO of UBS Securities Japan Ltd. and was country head in Japan. Most recently, he has been CFO of UBS's Wealth Management and Swiss Bank business division in Zurich, responsible for finance and risk control.

### Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority

Branson joined the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) on 1 January 2010 as Head of the Banking Division and Member of the executive board. As Head of the Banking Division, he was responsible for the licensing and supervision of all Swiss banks and securities dealers. He was appointed deputy director of FINMA on 1 February 2013. He took office as Director of FINMA on 1 April 2014. He succeeded former Director Patrick Raaflaub, who left FINMA unexpectedly. Branson's appointment as director of the Swiss financial supervisory authority was criticized as he had been the head of UBS in Japan at the time of the manipulation of the Japanese reference interest rate "TIBOR". There he was responsible for investment banking, the securities business as well as asset management and wealth management. As a result of the manipulation and the "Libor scandal" respectively, UBS Bank was to pay fines of EUR 2.5 billion and EUR 1.2 billion. The European Commission waived the EUR 2.5 billion fine because UBS helped to clarify the manipulation. As director of FINMA, Branson was chairman of the national committee for financial crises and a member of the advisory board "Future Financial Centre". On 1 November 2017, he also became Chair of the Resolution Steering Group (ReSG) of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and thus a member of its Steering Committee. He also represented Switzerland as a member of the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS). He left FINMA at the end of May 2021.

### Federal Financial Supervisory Authority

German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) announced on 22 March 2021 that Branson would succeed Felix Hufeld, former President of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), by 1 August 2021 at the latest. Branson took office on 1 August 2021. He is a member of the Financial Stability Committee (AFS) and continues to chair the Resolution Steering Group (ReSG) of the Financial Stability Board (FSB).

# William H. Clapp

**William H. Clapp** (October 29, 1879 - April 21, 1954) was a Canadian-American painter and art curator. He was a member of the Society of Six in Oakland, California, and an Impressionist landscape painter. He was also the curator of the Oakland Art Gallery.

## Life

Clapp was born on October 29, 1879, in Montreal, Canada. He was born a U.S. citizen as both his parents were American. He moved with his family to Oakland, California in 1885, but returned to Montreal in 1900 to study with William Brymner at the Art Association of Montreal. Fellow students included Clarence Gagnon and Henri Hébert and the three artists moved to Paris in the fall of 1904. In Paris, he spent four years, and attended the Académie Julian, the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the Académie Colarossi, and was introduced to Fauvism. In 1906, he exhibited his work at the Salon d'Automne.

In France, his style was transformed into a personal form of Impressionism, verging on Pointillism, depicting the way in which he experienced and saw the world. He became mostly known for his brilliant, high-keyed, colourful landscapes inspired by Monet and for his interest in painting the figure, mostly academic-influenced and idealized nudes. In 1907, he travelled to Belgium and Spain, where he studied in Madrid with William Laparra and regularly visited the Prado Museum. Returning to Montreal in 1908, Clapp brought with him his innovative interpretation of Impressionism, applying it to Canadian subject matter, which received mixed and uncomprehending reactions from critics and the public but at the Art Association of Montreal's Spring Exhibition in 1908 he shared the Jessie Dow Prize with Helen McNicoll.

After exhibiting his work in Montreal in a solo exhibition in 1914, he left Canada and lived in Cuba from 1915 to 1917, then moved to Oakland, California, where he co-founded the Society of Six with Selden Connor Gile, August Gay, Maurice Logan, Louis Siegriest, and Bernard von Eichman, and he wrote their manifesto. From 1918 to 1952, he curated the Oakland Art Gallery, where he sold their paintings. Clapp was a member of the Canadian Art Club and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

Clapp resided in Piedmont, California, with his wife Gertrude. He died on April 21, 1954, in Oakland, California, at age 74. His artwork can be seen at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.

# Marie Reynoard

**Marie Reynoard**, born in Bastia (Haute-Corse) on October 28, 1897, and died in Ravensbrück (Germany) on January 30, 1945, was a heroine of the Grenoble Resistance during the Second World War.

## Biography

A brilliant student, she joined the prestigious École normale supérieure de jeunes filles (Sèvres); in 1921, she taught in Cahors and then in Marseilles, before being appointed in 1936 to the Lycée Stendhal in Grenoble.

Despite fragile health that forced her to take rest cures in the mountains, she joined the Resistance in 1940 by founding the resistance movement Vérité. During a trip to Marseilles, she met Henri Frenay, leader of the National Liberation Movement. She brought together the first resistance fighters in Grenoble in her small apartment at 4 rue Joseph-Fourier. At the end of November 1941, in the presence of Henri Frenay and François de Menthon, the Vérité et Liberté movements merged under the name of French Liberation then Combat, which also became the name of the clandestine newspaper of the network.

She then took over the departmental leadership of the Combat movement. Marie Reynoard began by distributing leaflets from Lyon.

## Arrest

Reynoard was arrested in May 1943 in Lyon by Jean Multon, a collaborator of Klaus Barbie at the Gestapo.

## Tributes

In Grenoble, a commemorative plaque at the Lycée Stendhal, where she taught, has been installed, as well as at her home.

A kindergarten and an avenue in Grenoble bear her name since 1968, a residence for students since September 2013. Also bear her name in the Grenoble region, a high school in Villard-Bonnot and the hall of the eco-district of Gières since 2016.

# Tägerig

**Tägerig** is a municipality in the district of Bremgarten in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

## History

A number of shaped flints have been found north of the modern village, indicating that the area was inhabited before written records. The first mention of the modern village is in the 12th century when it was mentioned as *Tegrank*. In 1189 it was mentioned as *Tegeranc*.

The *Twingherrschaft* region (which included Tägerig) was a Habsburg fief in the 14th century, and was granted to the Knights of Rüssegg. In 1350 it went to the Freiherren of Wohlen, then in 1409 to Segesser of Brunegg and in 1543 to the City of Mellingen.

Tägerig initially belonged to the parish church of Niederwil. In 1669 a branch chapel was dedicated. After the devastating fire of 1838, a new church was built in 1846 and was made in 1864 into a separate parish.

Besides agriculture, in the 18th century the straw plaiting industry was of major importance in the village. As this industry declined in the late 19th and early 20th century, the population declined. By the 1920s much of the population commuted to jobs in Mellingen and Baden (in 1990, 76% of the working population commuted). For this reason, population growth remained moderate even after 1950.

## Geography

Tägerig has an area, as of 2006, of 3.3 square kilometers (1.3 sq mi). Of this area, 42.9% is used for agricultural purposes, while 39.2% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 15.5% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (2.4%) is non-productive (rivers or lakes).

The municipality is located in the Bremgarten district in the Reuss river valley. It consists of the village of Tägerig on the valley floor and the hamlets of Büschikon in the surrounding hills.

# Mary Jane Dockeray

**Mary Jane Patricia Dockeray** (March 8, 1927 – August 18, 2020) was an American environmental educator, founder of the Blandford Nature Center and Environmental Education Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 2012, she was admitted to the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

## Early life

Dockeray grew up on poultry farm in Walker Township. Her father, Winfield Dockeray, was a bookkeeper who also raised chickens. The family owned 2.5 acres just outside of Grand Rapids, an area where neighbors raised goats and open space was plentiful.

Dockeray attended Oakleigh School, a 7th Day Adventist Academy. Her 5th grade teacher, Anna Nelson, discovered that she had an interest in geology and the world around her. Nelson, who was typically quite austere, realized the interest in the young girl and helped Dockeray grow her love of geology.

## Career

Dockeray was a curator of natural history at the Grand Rapids Public Museum in the 1950s and 1960s. She taught summer programs and visited schools to give science presentations. She began developing the Blandford Nature Center with an initial land donation in the 1960s, and the visitor center opened in 1968. She worked at the center until her retirement in 1990, but continued to volunteer at the center after that milestone. She taught at Michigan State University and at Aquinas College, hosted a radio program, *Nature Spy*, wrote a book, *Let’s Go Exploring: Suggestions for Field Trips and Associated Studies in Environmental-Conservation Education,* and narrated an educational film, *These Things Are Ours* (1963). Into her eighties, she was still giving geological tours of Grand Rapids.

Dockeray served on the executive board of the Michigan Audubon Society, and was recognized by the society with an Outstanding Member Award in 1985. She was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame in 2012. The Blandford Nature Center's Mary Jane Dockeray Visitor Center opened in 2017. "If people can become better informed about the natural world around, they’ll take better care and their lives will be richer," she explained of her work.

In addition, Dockeray created and made the movie "These Things Are Ours," which was shown as part of National Audubon Society lecture tours across the US and Canada. Dockeray's school visits and lectures with her vintage slide projector were also memorable.

## Personal life

Dockeray self-published a memoir, *Rock On, Lady: Memoirs of Dr. Mary Jane Dockeray, Geologist Naturalist*, in 2014. At a young age Dockeray made the decision to put her career before marriage, and she dedicated her life to her work. Later on in her life she became engaged to her longtime partner, fellow Blandford volunteer Bertrand L. Hewett, until his death on June 18, 2008. She died 12 years later on August 18, 2020. She was dedicated to the Blandford Centre right up until the day she died, and this dedication continued after her passing as she requested that people donate to the Mary Jane Dockeray Endowment Fund at the Blandford Nature Center on her behalf.

## Legacy

Dockeray's legacy is the Blandford Nature Center she founded in 1968 and the Blandford Environmental Education Program The center, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, began as Collins Woods which was a part of a family farm where Dockeray grew up and developed her love of the outdoors. Blandford Center preserves over 143 acres of land. Their mission as stated on their website is to engage, empower, and educate their community through enriching experiences in nature. The center hosts nature trails, an interpretive center, farm demonstrations, several historic buildings, and a wildlife care program. The Blandford Environmental Education Program allows children to experience a full year in nature, it connects every academic subject to nature.

# Mark Dempsey (Irish footballer)

**Mark Anthony Peter Dempsey** (born 10 December 1972) is a former Irish association football player during the 1990s and 2000s. He was a defender or midfielder who appeared for Gillingham, Leyton Orient, Shrewsbury Town, Barry Town, Bohemians (2 spells), Shelbourne and Drogheda United during his career.

## Career

He played his schoolboy football at Cherry Orchard and his promise was noted by then-Football League Cup holders Oxford United, who brought him over for a trial. He impressed them enough to be taken on as a trainee for 18 months. He was a regular for the reserve team but never made the breakthrough to the first team so when his contract expired, he moved to Gillingham under the management of Damien Richardson.

He spent close to five years at Gillingham before moving on to Leyton Orient. He then spent three seasons at Shrewsbury Town under the management of Fred Davis and then Jake King. He had a falling out with King and moved on to Barry Town, where he won the domestic treble.

He returned to Ireland in the summer of 1999 and was made captain of Bohemians. He got injured during the second half of that season but returned in time to play in the FAI Cup Final as Bohs lost to Shelbourne in a replay. In just the third league game of the following season, he broke his ankle and was to miss the rest of the season as Bohs went on to win both the League of Ireland and FAI Cup.

His contract was up so he left to join Shelbourne, however he struggled to get regular first team football and within months had returned to Bohemians where he stayed until the end of the season when he moved north to Drogheda United.

He was capped five times for the Irish under-21 team, scoring one goal.

He was assistant manager at Shamrock Rovers during the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
