  • Notes on the Spotted Rail in Cuba
    NOTES ON THE SPOTTED RAIL IN CUBA GEORGE E. WATSON HE Spotted Rail (Pardirallus maculatus) is exceedingly rare in Cuba T outside the Zapata Swamp, and was thought to be limited to the three central provinces of the island (Bangs, 1913; Barbour, 1923 ; Bond, 1956; Greenway, 1958). It is therefore worth recording its presence and abundance in the westernmost province, Pinar de1 Rio. In addition, a few notes are included on molt, breeding season, available specimens, and habits of the population and taxonomy of the species. The trip during which the specimens mentioned here were collected was partially supported by the Peabody Museum of Yale University. Notes on the collection made between August and December 1955 were published by Ripley and Watson (1956). I am grateful to Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Caswell, Jr., and to the late Mr. Dayton W. Hedges for hospitality during my stay in Cuba and to Srs. Jack Boyle, Gaston S. Villalba, and Jesus Carrillo for facilitating my travel and collecting. Without the services of these persons I would probably never have seen any Spotted Rails. For the loan of specimens I am indebted to R. A. Paynter, Jr., C. H. Blake, C. OBrien,’ J. Bond, H. G. Deignan, and D. W. Warner and I also thank E. Stresemann, G. Mauersberger, and D. Goodwin for reporting on the Berlin and British Museum collections. J. Bond and P. S. Humphrey have given helpful criticism on the manuscript. OCCURRENCE I collected two female Spotted Rails, one laying, in wet rice fields at Finca Dayaniguas, south of Paso Real de San Diego, on 16 September 1955.

  • The Biography of Jack Wintle Andrea Chestnut Pittsburg State University March 6, 2021
    The Biography of Jack Wintle Andrea Chestnut Pittsburg State University March 6, 2021 In 1940, Lieutenant Jack Wintle received an assignment to the city of New Orleans to teach young midshipman in an NROTC program.1 It had been challenging for him to reach that moment. Before becoming an officer in the Navy he overcame social stigma and poverty to become an exceptional individual in a position of leadership. He devoted his life to serving his country, instructed young men in their pursuit of the same, and left a long-lasting legacy. Jack Wintle’s military education gave him the chance to have an impact on younger generations. The expansion of the military’s influence in colleges and universities created the same opportunity to other young men like him. Yet that expansion was not revolutionary. Nearly eighty years prior, the United States military and higher educational institutions entered into a partnership that served as a means to achieve the goals of the state. A notable precursor to a pivotal stage in that partnership is Jack Wintle’s experience. He embodied the deeply ingrained American ideals of education and hard work, ideals that were necessary incorporations into the first GI Bill and thus allowed for continuation of military involvement in higher education. The timing of Jack’s assignment to New Orleans in 1940 was not a coincidence. As the second world war loomed young men clamored to enlist, but others chose to remain in college to continue their education.2 Realizing the impeding war would soon require more enlisted men with technical skills, branches of the military coordinated with colleges to develop programs which combined military training with education.

It was the first time when Jack London who is the representative of American literary was translated into the Kazakh language and this work analyzes its reaction on Kazakh literature. Jusupbek Aimautuly was determined as a wise and skillful writer and a good politician at the beginning of XX century according to his translations. There was investigated Jack London’s unknown to him spiritual influence to the Kazakh people by quantitative and qualitative research methods.The translations described sadness, torment and unhappiness of the Kazakh people that was under the invasion policy and genocide of the Soviet Union. It was determined that these translations avoided censorship and tragedy of Kazakh steppe and could find their publicity. It was found out that Aimautuly could represent his thoughts, his purposes and wishes to his nation; he talked about preservation of the nation, importance of unity and power of knowledge through the translation.
