A guy georgias biography

Aguy Clement Georgias (born Aguy Zvavahera Ushe; 22 June 1935 – 19 December 2015) was a Zimbabwean businessman and politician. He was the founder of Trinity Engineering and served as Deputy Minister of Public Works as well as the Deputy Minister Economic Development.

He was born in Unyetu-Mutomba Village in Chivhu, Zimbabwe in 1935. He was the eldest son of James Ushe Shoniwa, and had ancestry from the Mutekedza Chieftainship of Chikomba District. He was associated with the Mhofu Totem. In his youth, he moved from Chivu to Harare, where he changed his name to Aguy Clement Georgias. After his death, his brother Herbert Ushe suggested the change was intended to conceal his Shona ancestry and present himself as a member of the Coloureds community, possibly for economic reasons.

In 2007, Georgias and his company Trinity Engineering were placed on the European Union (EU) sanctions list, under a 2002 EU provision that prohibited "entry into or transit through the territory of the EU" for members of the Zimbabwean Government. Georgias was deported from the United Kingdom as a result. In 2012, he sued the EU for €6 million in damages for the imposition of the sanctions. The EU General Court dismissed the case in 2014.

At the time of his death he was a non-constituency Senator (presumably representing the Coloureds community). He died of heart and kidney failure on 19 December 2015 at AMI Hospital in Harare. He was declared a national hero by the government of Robert Mugabe, who stated in his eulogy for Georgias that Georgias had spent "every cent he owned" fighting the EU sanctions on Zimbabwe's government. As a result, he was buried at the National Heroes' Acre. Georgias's relatives claimed they were snubbed by the Mugabe government with regards to Georgias' funeral. The family expressed discontent that the Mugabe government recogn

Eleanor and Theophilus Oglethorpe welcomed their 10th and last child, James Edward, into the world on December 22, 1696. Oglethorpe grew up in a well-connected, wealthy English family with controversial ties to the Jacobite movement.

In 1714, Oglethorpe entered Corpus Christi College at Oxford University where he attended on and off until joining a military academy in Paris and joining the army of Prince Eugene of Savoy during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718. Oglethorpe successfully ran for Parliament in 1722, winning the Haslemere seat held previously by his father and two older brothers.

Oglethorpe earned a reputation as a reformer early in his parliamentary career. He actively lobbied for reforms in the areas of naval conscription, prisons, and city planning. He belonged to a group of like-minded men who envisioned a new colony—Georgia—as a haven for England’s worthy poor. They drafted a charter for the thirteenth colony in British North America that offered a cure to the strict class divisions that plagued English society; there would be no slavery and no large landholdings. In fact, the original Trustees (including Oglethorpe) did not earn a salary and could not hold office or own land in the new colony.

Oglethorpe volunteered to lead the first group of colonists to Georgia in 1732. The ship Ann arrived at Yamacraw Bluff on February 12, 1733*. Although he held no official title, Oglethorpe acted as the colony’s de facto governor. He returned to England in 1734 to raise money for the fledgling colony and subsequently made several trips back and forth, including a voyage in 1736 in which he accompanied John and Charles Wesley. His longest residence in Georgia was from 1738-1743 when he was concerned with fighting the Spanish.

In 1743, Oglethorpe left Georgia for the last time. Shortly after his return to England, Oglethorpe married Elizabeth Wright, heir to the Essex estate of Cranham. He continued to serve in Parliament until 1754 and

The publication in 1998 of A Man in Full, Tom Wolfe’s mammoth novel about the making of modern Atlanta, became the biggest single event in the city’s cultural life since the world premiere in 1939 of Gone With the Wind at Loew’s Grand Theater. Wolfe’s impact on Atlanta has been compared with General William T. Sherman’s Atlanta campaign in 1864, and his judgments were given the same weight as International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch’s critical assessment of Atlanta’s Olympic Games of 1996.

Wolfe’s Literary Career

Wolfe, born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, is a former newspaper reporter and the best-selling author of such works as The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965), The Right Stuff (1979), and The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987).

Two weeks before the novel’s publication, the November 2 cover of Time magazine featured Wolfe’s portrait and the announcement “Tom Wolfe Writes Again.” Cover stories and lavish photo layouts also appeared in American Spectator, Vanity Fair, Harper’s, Biblio: Exploring the World of Books, Book: The Magazine for the Reading Life, and even Delta Air Lines’s in-flight periodical Sky. Eleven years in the works, Wolfe’s much-anticipated second novel was eminently newsworthy—his first fictional effort since The Bonfire of the Vanities, the satire set in New York City, which had sold 750,000 copies in hard cover. A Man in Full immediately topped best-seller lists, was nominated for a National Book Award, and became target for controversy—especially in Atlanta. The fact that Wolfe, a New Yorker since the early 1960s, was an outsider only exasperated the issue.

In anticipation of Wolfe’s arrival in Atlanta in mid-November 1998, timed to coincide with the official release of his novel, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution began issuing a “Wolfe Watch.”

In 2002, David Scott was elected to the United States Congress. He is currently in his tenth term representing Georgia's Thirteenth Congressional District, which includes 6 counties around metro Atlanta: Henry, Clayton, Dekalb, Rockdale, Newton, and Gwinnett counties.   He began his public service by being elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 1974.

United States Congress

In Congress, David Scott is a strong voice for farmers, jobs, healthcare, education, our veterans, our children, and transportation. He serves on the Financial Services Committee, Agriculture Committee, and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.  He has authored several laws including student loan repayment assistance for law students who become public prosecutors and defenders so that top attorneys will be attracted to public service.  Congressman Scott secured $80 million in funding in the 2018 Farm Bill for agriculture-focused scholarships at the 19 Historically Black 1890’s Land-Grant Colleges and Universities across the country. He also recognized the importance of Fathers by adding Father’s Day to the U.S. Flag Code as a day of special significance.  He bridged political gridlock to achieve National Heritage Area designation for the Arabia Mountain in metro Atlanta.

Respect for veterans is important to Congressman Scott. After scandals were revealed at the Atlanta VA, Congressman Scott worked in a bipartisan effort to pass major reforms of the VA and he was the first Democrat to call for the resignation of the VA Secretary. He authored bills that later became law to allow veterans and their children to receive in-state tuition. He also co-authored a law to help increase the number of mental health professionals at the VA by paying for their student loans.

As Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Congressman Scott recognizes the vital role agriculture plays in the success of our country and in Georgia, and he fights everyday to protect
