The name Robert is a Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic *χrōþi- "fame" and *berχta- "bright". Compare Old Dutch Robrecht and Old High German Hrodebert (a compound of hruod "fame, glory" and berht "bright"). It is also in use as a surname.
After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England in its Old French form Robert, where an Old English cognate form (Hrēodbēorht, Hrodberht, Hrēodbēorð, Hrœdbœrð, Hrœdberð) had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto.
Similar to the name, Richard, "Robert" is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic. It can be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name as well.
Robert, and also the name Joseph, were in the top 10 most given boys' names in the US for 47 years, from 1925 to 1972.
In Italy during the Second World War, the form of the name, Roberto, briefly acquired a new meaning derived from, and referring to the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis.

Robert Fleet in PLAYER
LAPD Fleet
A 2015 comic advertisement for Glaceau Vitaminwater in the UK that I performed in. The full ad, internet version, was twice as long and funny -- and the outtakes, should they ever be released, are even more hilarious: at one point I was wearing a coyote skull mask, playing an Aboriginal didgeridoo, wearing only a sarong and dancing. Oh, and drinking in one gulp a bottle of the Vitaminwater - 10 takes - to "cover all angles"!
Excerpt from the Adobe/Boxer Films production of PALADIN, a VFX spectacular/demo for Creative Suite 5, starring Robert Fleet as "The Mage" and Max Bird-Ridnell as "The General" (aka "Hero"). This excerpt is without the fantastic VFX created and included as part of CS5 - you can see some examples at http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/ - and the full movie is included with the CS5 package. Credits: Director - John Allardice, Producer - Tim Bright, DP - Ernesto Melara, Executive Producers - John Clark (Boxer Films) & Paramita Bhattacharya (Adobe).
Clips from the feature film PLAYER, a noir-romantic thriller about a gambler and a younger woman who fall in love, then risk everything on a dangerous bet - with violent results. See also "PLAYER: The Trailer" In these clips: Robert Fleet (Sam, lead), Natalie Avital (Princess, lead), Nick McCallum (Jack, Sam's son, co-star), Enci (Insa, bookie's girlfriend, co-star), J. Rene Pena (Annette, Sam's ex-wife, co-star). Directed by Alina Szpak. Cinematography: David Smith.
'LAPD Fleet' was shot and cut by Robert Davies in one day using a Sony PMW-EX3, GoPro and Avid Media Composer. It aired on Network Ten's '6pm With George Negus' in 2011. The Los Angeles Police Department were very generous with their time and a great bunch to work with!

Milan Vego, "Major Fleet vs Fleet Operations in the Pacific War, 1941-1945," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, Feb. 18, 2016. This is a study of three major naval operations of World War II. These three, initiated by imperial Japan, resulted in the battles of the Coral Sea, Midway/Aleutians, and the Philippine Sea. Along with ample background on geographic and strategic context, Dr. Vego gives detailed accounts of the unfolding actions, utilizing much primary-source material from American and Japanese archives. Finally, and most valuably, Dr. Vego identifies lessons learned for naval operational art, lessons of more than historical interest for today's U.S. Navy. ***** Disclaimer: The views expressed are the speaker's own and may not necessarily reflect the views of the...
READ THIS FIRST: Fleet v Bank of America et al. California Appellate Court No.G050049 Superior Court No. CIVRS1204737 This was the Oral Argument on a Bank of America demurrer motion against self-represented (pro per) plaintiffs Robert C. Fleet and Alina Szpak-Fleet, which was granted by the lower court in December 2012. A demurrer challenges the legal viability of a complaint's claims for relief and, if granted, as in this case's Judgment of Dismissal, effectively quashes the lawsuit. A year prior to this Oral Argument, both the appellant/plaintiffs (Fleet) and the respondent/defendant (BOA) submitted written briefs. The Fleets argued that the lower court's judgement of dismissal was incorrect on several counts: as a matter of law, the lower court being unfamiliar with current California h...

for those who likes this doc watch?v=R-wdHizE2VM watch?v=_8eU77XvhZ8 watch?v=NU0lwuT_oqQ watch?v=GubH-kNO31E Seven years ago, on his third trip to the Black Sea, Dr. Robert Ballard discovered a miraculously well-preserved Byzantine shipwreck, but his team could only take pictures. Now, Ballard returns with state-of-the-art technology and a revolutionary $1.5 million robot known as "Hercules" to excavate two shipwrecks for the first time ever, including one of the most pristine ancient vessels ever found. Ballard and his team have only two weeks, so they must work in perfect precision on their hunt for the Ghost Ships of the Black Sea.
"Sink the Bismarck" was the cry as British forces searched the Atlantic for the German navy's most powerful vessel. The pursuit ended on May 27, 1941, in a battle that plunged the Bismarck into waters nearly three miles deep, taking with it more than 2,000 lives. Almost half a century later, explorer and scientist Dr. Robert D. Ballard, who discovered the sunken S.S. Titanic, searched the Atlantic for the infamous Bismarck. On June 8, 1989, he located the sunken ship, 600 miles off the coast of France. National Geographic looks back at the first - and last - mission of the Bismarck and talks with survivors of the notorious World War II battle. Then, in its climactic chapter, SEARCH FOR THE BATTLESHIP BISMARCK reveals exclusive footage of this remarkable undersea exploration.

A Pre-War (1940) - A Warner Brothers short film about 3 recruits who land in Navy boot camp in San Diego: Potter from Kansas, wealthy Benson (who has experience with yachts), and dirt-poor Dan. Kansas gets in trouble for not having his cover. Dan has color-vision problems. The company is sent on a training mission to Hawaii, though Dan is sent instead to the Medical Officer, apparently to be discharged, which plunges him into despair. But the Navy isn't quite done with Dan. Familiar story, but some recognizable stars that make it worth sitting through. The film follows three recruits (George Reeves, Herbert Anderson, William T. Orr) as they go through basic training and have to deal with their Petty Officer (Robert Armstrong). Reeves is best known for SUPERMAN and Armstrong for KING KONG...
This is an alleged top secret aircraft or "space vehicle" which has some quite incredible abilities. The source of the information is from an Area 51 employee who started making public disclosures in 1998 after retiring from his job as an avionics engineer. So far his claims and disclosures have not been given the coverage which they undoubtedly deserve. He has hundreds of official USAF documents to back up his claims. If he is correct, as the evidence suggests, then the U.S. have a secret space fleet consisting probably of dozens of 600 feet wide flying triangles, which can go to and from space with ease, travel at Mac 9 in any direction, traverse the solar system and even land on neighbouring planets. As Ed says in his 1998 presentation regarding the space shuttle program.
The Disclosure About the Secret Space Programs & the Dark Fleet presentation provides information about the structures and the inner working of the SSP, ICC, and the Dark Fleet. There are images and descriptions of what Lunar Operations Command looks like, the SSP, ICC and Dark Fleet bases on Mars and in the Solar system. As well information is given about what these Secret Space Programs are doing beyond the bounds of Earth where they cannot be monitored.
