This Comprehensive Plan is intended to celebrate what is special about Glynn County, while also encouraging the kind of economic revitalization that will improve the quality of life for the County’s residents. This Comprehensive Plan is Howfyl-Broadfield Plantation supplemented by two addenda: 1) a Data Assessment, which includes an analysis of Census and other demographic information and 2) a Public Participation Program Report, which summarizes the results of the public input received during this process. Furthermore, the Brunswick Area Transportation Study (BATS) Metropolitan Transportation Plan should be considered a companion document to this Comprehensive Plan. Planning Scope The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) administers the rules and regulations for Comprehensive Planning in the State of Georgia. These rules provide local governments a framework for the development, management and implementation of local comprehensive plans. Effective local planning is essential to the State of Georgia’s overall economic prosperity. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A) Section 50-8-1 established authority for the DCA to define minimum standards and procedures for developing comprehensive plans for local governments in the State of Georgia. These standards and procedures are designed to help the County prepare a plan that identifies immediate needs within the community and looks for opportunities to allow the County to achieve its vision for the future. An adopted Comprehensive Plan allows the County to maintain its “qualified local government status,” which makes the County eligible for selected state funding and permitting programs. Glynn County addressed the elements required by DCA’s minimum standards and procedures and exceeded these requirements by conducting additional analysis on other planning elements. The following required elements are included in the County’s 2018 Comprehensive Plan: Community Goals, Needs and Opportunities, and Community Work Program. As a community that has adopted a Zoning Ordinance and one that is also a member of a Metropolitan Planning Organization, Glynn County is required to adopt a Comprehensive Plan that addresses land use and transportation. In addition, the County has also addressed the planning elements of housing; economic development; natural, cultural, historic resources; resiliency, community wellness; and intergovernmental coordination throughout this document. In preparing this Comprehensive Plan, Glynn County has addressed and exceeded the minimum planning elements required by DCA. The findings of the plan will inform an update of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances as well as other development codes that will begin immediately after adoption of this plan and will be a key tool for implementation of the recommendations contained herein. October 2018 1 Glynn County Comprehensive Plan 2 Setting the Stage History of Glynn County Located on Georgia’s southeastern coast, Glynn County is 422 square miles in size and comprises the City of Brunswick, Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, Little St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and the unincorporated mainland between the Little Satilla River to the south and the Altamaha River to the north. Brunswick, the county seat, is the only incorporated area in Glynn County. On February 5, 1777, Glynn County was established as the seventh of the eight original Fort Frederica National Monument

    Military Bio of the Honorable T. Jackson Bedford Jr. Born April 18, 1944 During World War II, Judge Bedford Was Almost Two Years

    Military Bio of the Honorable T. Jackson Bedford Jr. Judge, Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia Born April 18, 1944 during World War II, Judge Bedford was almost two years old before his father, a Navy Veteran of the Pacific War, ever saw him. Judge Bedford grew up a “Navy Brat” with his family following his father during a 24 year career as a Naval Officer, which also included service in Korea during the Korean War. After graduating from high school in Oklahoma City, Judge Bedford attended the University of Virginia in 1962 on a Naval ROTC Scholarship. While a student at the University of Virginia, he was a Company and Battalion Officer in the NROTC Battalion and in his 4th year received recognition by being awarded the General Dynamics Outstanding Midshipman Award. Upon graduating from the University in June 1966, Judge Bedford was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and received orders to Naval Pre-Flight School in Pensacola where he also attended 1 | Page Basic Naval Aviation Officers Training School. After completion of his basic Naval Aviation training he received orders to the Advanced Naval Flight Officer Training School at Naval Air Station Glynco, Brunswick, Georgia. In March 1967 Judge Bedford was awarded his “Wings of Gold” as a newly minted Naval Flight Officer (NFO) with specialty training as an Electronic Warfare Officer. Thereafter, he was ordered to VAQ33, a fixed wing Electronic Warfare Squadron stationed at Quanset Point, Rhode Island. As a member of this squadron, Judge Bedford flew in a large single engine plane known as the EA1F, affectionately nicknamed the “Fat Spad.” In fact, it was the last single engine propeller driven plane flown in combat by the U.S.

Moore iii THESIS ABSTRACT John D. Moore Master of Arts Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures September 2017 Title: Inside the Boy Inside the Robot: Mobile Suit Gundam and Interiority Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-1980) is an iconic series in the genre of television anime featuring giant fighting robots, embedded in a system of conventions developed across decades of media aimed at boys that emphasizes action and combat. In this thesis, I argue that Gundam foregrounds the interiority of its main character Amuro, challenging conventions governing the boy protagonist. Using Peter Verstraten's principles of film narratology and Thomas Lamarre’s theory of limited animation, I find in Gundam's narrative strategies sophisticated techniques developed to portray his inner life.

As can be seen by the title alone, there is a suggested connection between the series and Biblical tradition, which has been highly contested and debated since the release of the original series. Some critics of the anime claim that the religious symbolism is just thrown in, and some of the people who worked on the show would even agree-- Kazuya Tsurumaki noted in an interview: Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan, we thought it would be mysterious.
