The Washington SCIP serves as a common reference for all stakeholders to use as a current source of information about the status of statewide communications interoperability. The process employed to produce this plan followed a bottom-up approach that sought out the input and advice of the state’s first responder and emergency response communities. It is the intent of the statewide strategic planning effort to provide an ongoing opportunity for all local, tribal, federal, and non-governmental public safety and emergency responder agencies to share their communications needs, discuss mutual solutions, share successful implementations, and collaborate. Subsequent versions of the Washington SCIP will set new objectives, implement interoperability solutions, and measure progress toward achievement of a highly efficient and cost effective means of statewide interoperability. The Washington SCIP is written to address the criteria1 for interoperability plans established by the U.S.

  • WANADA Bulletin # 41-15
    WANADA Bulletin # 4-20 February 26, 2020 In Memoriam: Archie Avedisian 2020 Washington Auto Show Draws Big Crowds Thank You to Those Who Made the 2020 Washington Auto Show Possible Georgetown Nurse Wins Hyundai Hands on Hope Contest WANADA Identity Theft Prevention Seminar Educates Dealers on How to Prevent Fraud Regional Dealer Association Leaders Gather in Las Vegas In Memoriam: Archie Avedisian It is with sadness and reflection that WANADA reports the passing of longtime staff member and Washingtonian, Archie Avedisian. At age 91, he passed peacefully, with family at his side, in Gaithersburg. Archie was actively engaged with WANADA until the start of this year when he became ill. And active he was, being involved with the operation and expansion of WANADA’s Automobile Dealer Education Institute (ADEI), which he helped organize at the beginning of his 19-year tenure with the dealer association. Since then, ADEI has assisted innumerable young adults on career pathways into auto dealer service and sales departments. Archie’s first career, to which he was passionately dedicated, was the many years he spent with Boys and Girls Clubs around the U.S. in cities like East St. Louis and as far away as Seattle. He really left his mark, however, by his leadership as president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington (BGCGW), which was his legacy of 26 years. It was at BGCGW that Archie connected with WANADA and Washington area dealers through his longtime membership in Rotary International. An eminently successful fundraiser for charitable events, Archie led WANADA senior staff and dealer leaders in generating substantial dollars for the ADEI and BGCGW via VIP gala evenings, which ran in conjunction with the Washington Auto Show, where members of Congress and notables from the White house and federal government would rub elbows socially with area dealers and members of the business community at large.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

    Translated from the French by Richard Seaver and Helen R. Lane ••••••••• Ann Arbor Paperbacks The University of Michigan Press Andre Breton CONTENTS Preface for a Reprint of the Manifesto (1929) vii Manifesto of Surrealism (1924) 1 Soluble Fish (1924) 49 Preface for the New Edition of the Second Manifesto (1946) 111 Second Manifesto of Surrealism (1930) 117 A Letter to Seers (1925) 195 Political Position of Surrealism (extracts) 205 Preface (1935) 207 Political Position of Today's Art (1935) 212 Speech to the Congress of Writers (1935) 234 On the Time When the Surrealists Were Right (1935) 243 Surrealist Situation of the Object (1935) 255 Prolegomena to a Third Surrealist Manifesto or Not (1942) 279 On Surrealism in Its Living Works (1953) 295 It was to be expected that this book would change, and to the extent that it questioned our terrestrial existence by charging it nonetheless with everything that it comprises on this or that side of the limits we are in the habit of assign­ ing to it, that its fate would be closely bound up with my own, which is, for example, to have written and not to have written books. Those attributed to me do not seem to me to exercise any greater influence on me than many others, and no doubt 1 am no longer as fully familiar with them as it is possible to be. Regardless of whatever controversy that may have arisen concerning the Manifesto of Surrealism between I924 and I929-without arguing the pros and cons of its validity-it is obvious that, independent of this con­ troversy, the human adventure continued to take place with the minimum of risks, on almost all sides at once, ac­ cording to the whims of the imagination which alone causes real things.
