In John’s case, the endeavor resulted in a permanent community garden that now serves as the hub of a thriv- ing (and desirable) neighborhood. There is a monument to John at the garden’s entrance.

  • The Effects of Nuclear War
    The Effects of Nuclear War May 1979 NTIS order #PB-296946 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 79-600080 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D C, 20402 — Foreword This assessment was made in response to a request from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to examine the effects of nuclear war on the populations and economies of the United States and the Soviet Union. It is intended, in the terms of the Committee’s request, to “put what have been abstract measures of strategic power into more comprehensible terms. ” The study examines the full range of effects that nuclear war would have on civilians: direct effects from blast and radiation; and indirect effects from economic, social, and politicai disruption. Particular attention is devoted to the ways in which the impact of a nuclear war would extend over time. Two of the study’s principal findings are that conditions would con- tinue to get worse for some time after a nuclear war ended, and that the ef- fects of nuclear war that cannot be calculated in advance are at least as im- portant as those which analysts attempt to quantify. This report provides essential background for a range of issues relating to strategic weapons and foreign policy. It translates what is generally known about the effects of nuclear weapons into the best available estimates about the impact on society if such weapons were used. It calls attention to the very wide range of impacts that nuclear weapons would have on a complex industrial society, and to the extent of uncertainty regarding these impacts.

    The Opening Plenary: Owning Learning Thursday, Dec 1 Time 09:30 – 11:00 Room Potsdam I/III Tomorrow’s learning is about ownership and OEB’s opening session will examine how we can own our own learning. We will soon control what, where, when and how we learn. We will access, link, combine, interpret and interact with knowledge. We will make learning work for us. But what are the implications? And how can we ensure that the new world of the empowered learner works for students, teachers and society? The opening plenary session of OEB 2016 will focus on the challenges and opportunities of taking empowered learning to its ultimate phase.

  • Cover1 LETTER from OUR LEADERS
    ANNUAL 2016 REPORTCover1 LETTER FROM OUR LEADERS Dear Stakeholders: We issued just over 700 grants in 2016, a 55% increase over the previous year. A major reason is that several large grants were received in the last weeks of 2015, for a record total of $926,000. But those funds came too late to be used in 2015. Instead, a large carry-over fueled our record-breaking 2016 MicroGrants grant making. We fully expect to equal 700 grants again in 2017. Our Partner Agencies told us that they could more than double their grantee-prospects without any compromise in the quality of their quali cations. at meant, there were hundreds of people, who did MISSION not apply for grants, only because of the limit of our resources. In addition, there were a dozen aspiring Partner Agencies, each with additional people of potential, waiting in the wings to become partners.

In addition, we increased our $1,000 transportation grants to $1,400, their estimated minimum for purchasing a serviceable vehicle. So, our grantees are no longer vulnerable to the proverbial Used Car Salesman, the lemon that fails right o the lot or the cheaply acquired, used car that just sits there because of unfeasible repair costs.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.
