James Wright of General Electric (New Haven, Connecticut, USA, 1943) has been placed with the task of making a substitute for rubber. The U.S has been cut off from Southeast Asia, the main supplier of rubber. According to the Lemelson-MIT website, Wright is, “…under a government contract to create an inexpensive substitute for synthetic rubber.” The United States wait to see what Wright and other companies under contract will achieve. OR AD SPACE HERE... VICTORIOUS IN THE 5-RINGED FLAG BY H. CARMAN. The Olympics! They sounded incredible. Athletic competition from every corner of the world coming together to one central place: Athens, Greece. After fifteen hundred years this game, which had remained concluded, was finally going to be resurrected in the spring of 1896. The marble stadium constructed for this specific purpose was said to be wondrous, and the far voyage overseas combined with the stadium to make an exhilarating feat in James Connolly's mind. After hearing about it in the newspapers, Jim could not stop thinking about the adventure that he was sure would prove to be one in a lifetime. James Connolly, an athlete at Harvard, lived for adventure. Athens remained a place of his dreams, where Homer's Rosa Parks stoically sitting on a bus. Odyssey, one of his favorite books, was set. Getting to go overseas, being in a boat surrounded by water like infinity for days, and getting to see the Rosa Parks things Homer wrote of, not to mention by A.

Although an She taught us to stand out impossible dream for Jim, with his drive Even when I doubt. for adventure against all odds, he was sure to win. Sure enough, his first challenge came immediately. The Olympics would take eight weeks, including travel time, putting him in a predicament for schooling. Would Harvard teachers just let him take an eight week leave? He boldly requested for a leave of absence, totaling eight weeks. The chairman, shocked by the request, hesitantly asked him if it was truly what he wanted to do. After Connolly's confident answer, he told James that he could not grant him his request, but to resign and after coming back from the Olympics, he would consider re-entering him after application. James replied that he would not be resigning and not re-entering. He was through with Harvard, never coming back for schooling. So off he went to begin his travels. After easily being entered into the competition by the Suffolk Club in his hometown, he set off, but not without injuring himself first. Two days before setting of to sail he strained his back, basically making himself immobile. He feared that with his newly acquired limitation he would be Tree bark up close. incapable of competing. Although devastated by the fact that everything he had been working toward might be ruined because of an untimely injury, he found comfort in the remembrance that even if he did not get to challenge the other nations, he would still get to see all the beautiful sights, travel to the places Homer wrote of Tree Bark and watch the games. Most importantly though, he would have an adventure that he would remember the rest of by A. Verret his life. Fortunately for him, after sitting on the sunbathed deck and watching out at the glassy sea-green ocean as it rippled and played against the edges of the boat, his wound vanished. He felt completely healed, just as they Being still, your detail is immense, were coming up on their destination, Naples, which was the first stop on their way to Athens.

On the third day, on the way to the train station, preparing to leave Naples, a man unexpectedly walked up to James and pointed to him, asking another man if this was the man who had lost it.

    The Portrait of the Kings and the Historiographical Poetics of the Deuteronomistic Historian By Alison Lori Joseph A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ronald Hendel, Chair Professor Robert Alter Professor Erich Gruen Professor Steven Weitzman Spring 2012 Copyright © 2012 Alison Lori Joseph, All Rights Reserved. Abstract The Portrait of the Kings and the Historiographical Poetics of the Deuteronomistic Historian By Alison Lori Joseph Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Ronald Hendel, Chair This dissertation explores the historiographical style and method of the Deuteronomist (Dtr) in the book of Kings, with particular attention to what I call the prototype strategy in the portrayal of the Israelite kings. It lays out a systematic analysis of Dtr’s historiographical composition and the ways he includes and reshapes his inherited sources to suit his purposes. This work offers a framework for the selectional and compositional method that Dtr employs in the construction of his history, and especially in crafting the portrait of the kings. This analysis suggests that Dtr has a specific set of historiographical priorities to which he adheres in order to interpret the history of the monarchy in light of deuteronomistic theology. This is done through crafting a comprehensive narrative that functions didactically, instructing the kings and the people of Judah how to behave through illustrating the consequences of disobedience. A key element to Dtr’s historiographical process is the use of a prototype strategy.

  • Excerpt from Chapter 1
    1 The Davidic Prototype in Deuteronomistic Poetics Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. So begins Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s mythic poem “Paul Revere’s Ride.”1 Writing in 1860, on the eve of the Civil War, Longfellow attempts to evoke a shared sense of cultural and moral values among Americans. Longfellow’s now famous poem has come to replace the historical account of that important night in the common American memory, demonstrating how the author’s ideology and intentions in a literary text can reshape the common conception of history. It also testifies to the blurry line between the genres of literature and historiography. 1. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” in , Penguin Classics (New Selected Poems York: Penguin, 1988), 148–52. 1 PORTRAIT OF THE KINGS Historians have long criticized Longfellow’s loose portrayal of historical detail, which exaggerates Revere’s singular role in the event, the length of his ride, and his accomplishments.2 Yet, if Paul Revere were not the one to carry the message, “One, if by land, and two, if by sea,” why have most Americans heard only of Revere, while others are forgotten? The answer lies in Longfellow’s portrayal of the unassisted role of Revere. The well-planned chain of warnings was very much a team effort, yet Longfellow focused solely on the role of his hero, Paul Revere.3 His poem created a national Revolutionary legend of Revere, who previously had been little known.

  • ADVENT 2C – 12/9/18 the Messenger (Malachi 3:1-4, Luke1:68-79, Luke 3:1-6)
    ADVENT 2C – 12/9/18 The Messenger (Malachi 3:1-4, Luke1:68-79, Luke 3:1-6) There have been a number of famous messengers in recorded history. One of the earliest was a long-distance runner named Pheidippiddes who, following the Greek victory over the Persians in the Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C., was dispatched to carry the news of that victory back to Athens. According to legend, Pheidippiddes ran the 25 miles at a very fast pace. So much so, that upon reaching Athens with news of their victory, he is said to have cried out, “We won!” before collapsing and dying on the spot. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the legend is not really accurate. Now, to be sure, there actually was a runner named Pheidippiddes but, instead of running from Marathon to Athens after the battle, he apparently ran instead from Athens to Sparta before the battle in order to ask for their assistance. And after the battle, it was actually the victorious army itself that double-timed it back to Athens in order to head-off the defeated Persians in case they tried to sail around the peninsula and now attack Athens directly from the sea. Later in popular imagination, however, the two events were somehow conflated resulting in a legendary but inaccurate version of events. Needless to say, therefore, neither did Pheidippiddes ever cry out “We won!” before dropping dead of exhaustion either. Nevertheless, over two thousand years later, in 1896, at the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens the organizers were looking for a special new event to recall the ancient glory of Greece.
