Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

Saretzky, Curator Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era, 1910-1920 About one hundred years ago, during the 1910-1920 decade in America, the economy boomed and the Gross National Product more than doubled. Ten million Americans bought automobiles, most for the first time. Ford’s Model T, produced with then revolutionary assembly line methods, transformed family life for owners. Such personal “machines” led to paved roads and the first traffic light, reduced the need for blacksmiths and horses, increased the demand for auto mechanics and gas stations, and, when not caught up in traffic jams, sped up daily life. Some owners braved dirt roads to drive to the Jersey Shore, where thousands thronged to see the annual Baby Parade in Asbury Park. While roads at the start of the decade were barely adequate for travel in the emerging auto boom, New Jersey became a leader in the advocacy and construction of improved thoroughfares. Better road and rail transportation facilitated both industrial and agricultural production, bringing such new products as commercially grown blueberries from Whitesbog, New Jersey, to urban dwellers. In the air, history was made in 1912, when the first flight to deliver mail between two government post offices landed in South Amboy.

The origins of the Ukrainian Catholic Church lie in the time when much of present-day Ukraine formed part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was then, in 1596, that for a variety of reasons, many of the Orthodox bishops of the region decided to accept communion with Rome.(1) After almost four hundred years the resulting Union of Brest remains a contentious subject.(2) The new "Uniate" Church formally recognized the Pope as Head of the Church, but maintained its traditional Byzantine or eastern rite, calendar, its right to ordain married men as priests, and its right to elect its own bishops.

  • 1 Robert Mcclure Interview on Helen S. Meyner John Kincaid (JK): Good Afternoon. We're at the Meyner Center with Robert Mcclur
    Robert McClure Interview on Helen S. Meyner John Kincaid (JK): Good afternoon. We’re at the Meyner Center with Robert McClure, who worked with Helen Meyner. It is Friday, September 28, 2018, at five after two in the afternoon. Also present is Diane Shaw, who is director of special collections at the library of Lafayette College. Edwin C. Landis, former law partner and friend of Robert Meyner, is here too. I’m John Kincaid, the Meyner Professor and director of the Meyner Center for the Study of State and Local Government. And so Bob, maybe you could begin by just giving us a brief bio so we can situate your work with Helen within the context of your life. Robert McClure (RM): Fair enough. I graduated from Lafayette in May of 1974. My first job out of college was as a cab driver over in Phillipsburg, where my parents lived. Within a week, I, through a family connection and some serendipity, had an interview with Governor Bob Meyner in his Phillipsburg office. Governor Meyner kept Friday morning hours in Phillipsburg even though his main law office with Mr. Landis was in Newark. He would also not only keep law hours but he was on the board of the Phillipsburg National Bank, and they would have board meetings then. So, I go down and I’m interviewed by Governor Bob and, lo and behold, I am hired. RM: I then spent a good portion of the next four-and-a-half years working for Helen. I became the coordinator of the Helen Meyner 1974 congressional campaign for Warren and Sussex counties.

  • The Jersey Hustle
    December 15, 2013 Opinion: The Jersey hustle OLDER New Jerseyans may well remember the basis of a new film — “American Hustle” — that opened last Friday. It is a fictionalized account of Abscam, the FBI stinG operation in the late 1970s and early 1980s that resulted in the conviction of three key New Jersey politicians, includinG a U.S. senator, a state senator and a member of the House of Representatives, as well as several other officials on charges including bribery and conspiracy. Abscam put New Jersey on the map as hotbed of political corruption, a reputation that we maintain today. The movie, directed by Philadelphia native David O. Russell, tells the story of a clever con man, IrvinG Rosenfeld, and his partner, Sydney Prosser, who are forced to infiltrate the wild arena of New Jersey politics and orGanized crime in the 1970s by FBI aGent Richie DiMaso. “American Hustle,” which last Thursday picked up seven Golden Globe nominations includinG best movie, actor and director, is a “fictionalized” account of “Abdul Scam” or Abscam, the FBI stinG operation, which consisted of a fictional middle eastern sheikh named Karim Abdul Rahman (thus the “Abdul” scam moniker) offerinG bribes to political leaders in eXchanGe for political asylum, money launderinG and investment opportunities. The real-life con man that the FBI hires to play the sheik, Melvin WeinberG, is the character IrvinG Rosenfeld in the film, played by Christian Bale.

  • The Ukrainian Orthodox Question in the USSR
    The Ukrainian Orthodox Question in the USSR FRANK E. SYSYN In 1977 Father Vasyl' Romanyuk, a prisoner in the Soviet Gulag because of his struggle for religious and national rights, addressed a letter to Metropolitan Mstyslav, leader of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in the West:. Your Grace! First of all, I assure you of my devotion and humility. I declare that I consider and have always considered myself a member of the U[krainian] A[utocephalous] O[rthodox] C[hurch] in spite of the fact that I formally belonged to a different hierarchy, for it is well known that the Ukrainian Church, Orthodox as well as Catholic, is outlawed in Ukraine. Such are the barbaric ethics of the Bolsheviks. 1 The appeal was a remarkable testimony that almost fifty years after the destruction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Autocephalous Church formed in the 1920s and over thirty years after the eradication of the Church restored during the Second World War, loyalty to Ukrainian Orthodoxy still remains alive among Ukraine's believers. It also demonstrates how shared persecution has brought new ecumenical understanding between U,laainian Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholics. 'To discuss the position of Ukrainian Orthodoxy in the Soviet Union is a difficult task, for since the destruction of tens of its bishops, thousands of its priests, and tens of thousands of its lay activists in the early 1930s (and once again after the Second World War), and its forcible incorporation into the Russian Orthodox Church, it exists more as a loyalty and an Ull­ realised dream than as an active movement.

  • Fractured Orthodoxy in Ukraine and Politics: the Impact of Patriarch Kyrill’S “Russian World”1
    Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Vol. 54 (2013) Nos. 1–2, pp. 33–67 Fractured Orthodoxy in Ukraine and Politics: The Impact of Patriarch Kyrill’s “Russian World”1 Nicholas E. Denysenko Abstract (Українське резюме на ст. 67) This article analyzes the intersection of “church” and “state” in Ukraine and the many complexities of a situation involving a multiplicity of both ecclesial and political actors: in the latter category, both Russia and Ukraine itself, in the context of a globalized world; in the former category the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate; the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (in both pre- and post-war iterations); the Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church; and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate. Adding to the complexity of these relations among these chur- ches and between these states is a new theopolitical ideology being sponsored by the current Patriarch Kiril of Moscow under the heading of a “Russian world,” which is supposed to unite at least East-Slavic Orthodoxy (if not other Orthodox Churches) and their host countries against the perceived threats of “Western” globalization. This “Russian world” is analyzed here for what it says, what reactions it has evoked among the four major churches in Ukraine; and for what it might portend for Orthodox Christians in Ukraine and well as relations between Moscow and Constantinople in the ongoing struggle for understanding of global primacy among Orthodox hierarchs. 1 All translations from Ukrainian and Russian are by Nicholas Denysenko unless otherwise noted. 34 Nicholas E.

  • Sacred Architecture in the Area of Historical Volhynia
    E3S Web of Conferences 217, 01007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021701007 ERSME-2020 Sacred architecture in the area of historical Volhynia Liliia Gnatiuk1,* 1National Aviation University, Interior Design Department, Faculty of architecture, construction and design, Kyiv, Ukraine Abstract. This article discusses the genesis and historical development of the sacred complexes of historic Volhyn. Based on historical and architectural analysis, it is presented that sacred complexes of historic Volhynia were built according to the canons of temple architecture, and at the same time they have their own characteristics, related to national traditions and regional features which appeared as a result of the process of forming Christianity as a religion associated with national development in the specific study territory. The results of a comprehensive analysis of historical and archival documents found in the archives of Ukraine, Poland and Russia, as well as field research are presented. Results of system and theoretical research of significant retrospective analysis of canonical, historical and political prerequisites of sacral complexes were generalized. The concept of sacred complex structures throughout ХІ-ХІХ th centuries is suggested in correlation with the change of religious identity formation and differentiation according to religious requirements. Existence of autochthonous traditions and genuine vector of the Volhynia’s sacred complex development, considering the specific geopolitical location between East and West in the area where two different cultures collide with each other has been proved. The work is shifting statements concerning direct borrowing of architectural and stylistic components of architectural and planning structure and certain decorative elements. 1 Introduction Architecture more than other forms of art reflects the state of society, its political level, the degree of economic development, aesthetic tastes and preferences.
