The Physical Sciences Research (PSR) Division plays a vital role in ensuring our nation’s economic and general health by carefully selecting, funding, and supporting scientists across the country. It also serves as an important link in the international endeavors that are the hallmark of America’s space program. By disseminating knowledge and transferring technology among private industries, universi- ties, and other government agencies, PSR continues to build on a foundation of professional success, evidenced by the number of publications and conferences attended, while reaching out to the popu- lace at large. Educational outreach and technology transfer are among the program’s top goals, mak- ing the benefits of NASA’s research available to the American public. Space shuttle research missions as well as experiments performed in short-duration microgravity facilities are yielding new under- standings about our world and the universe around us, and long-duration microgravity research on the International Space Station is making possible advances in science that were not possible before. Under the direction of the Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR), PSR will con- tinue to advance cutting-edge research led by the best scientists in the nation.

They also knew that people like themselves must be directly involved in space research, because all research is rooted in the ability to observe, recognize something new and valuable, and then step out in a new direction, one that often cannot be anticipated or prepro- grammed into a machine. credit: NASA The crewmembers were thrilled with what they were The crew of Columbia, STS-107 (left to right): David doing.

  • 2011 Annual Report from the President and Chair
    2011 ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Buzzards Bay Coalition by a dedicated group of citizens spanning the Bay from Woods Hole to Westport. They were brought together by the loss of shellfish beds to contamination from sewage, by the ongoing threat of oil spills from barges, by toxic pollution in need of cleanup in New Bedford and at Otis, and by the spread of sprawl development and loss of open space throughout the watershed. In 1987, these problems were reaching an all-time peak and the Bay’s citizens came together to create a new future for our region’s environment. They believed that local citizens from all watershed towns should work together; for they had the most to gain from the Bay’s preservation and the most to lose by its degra- dation. They created the Buzzards Bay Coalition to carry forth that mission. So a sign was hung on a donated cadets room at Mass Maritime, a phone line estab- lished, and from the keys of a typewriter, the Bay Coalition began its work to build a citizens movement to clean up the Bay. The accomplishments in this 2011 Annual Report speak volumes about how far we’ve come as an organization and how the challenges facing our Bay have changed in the past quarter century. But one thing that remains as true today as it was in 1987 is that people are the engine of the Buzzards Bay Coalition. Our members and generous sup- porters who volunteer their time, money, and ideas are at the heart of our efforts and make our work possible.

  • Komisaruk Family
    Komisaruk family Updated by Chaim Freedman 18/02/2020, to replace the material in his book “Eliyahu’s Branches, the Descendants of the Vilna Gaon and His Family”, Avotaynu 1997. Dov Ber (Berel) Komisaruk, born 1776 in Girtegola, Lithuania,1 (son of David Komisaruk [1747 - ] and Khana ?), died 1843 in Rassein, Lithuania.2 Oral tradition held that Berel came from a prominent family of scholars and communal leaders in Kovno. Lithuanian records prove that the family came from the city Rassein which was located in Kovno Gubernia (province).When the Jews were compelled to adopt a surname in 1804 Berel and his brothers or their father registered their surname as "Komisaruk". Later generations used various forms of this name: Komisaruk, Komesaroff, Komisar, Comisaroff, Comisarow. A full explanation of the reason for these variations and the historic basis for the family's activities in Rassein can be found in "Our Fathers' Harvest" (Chaim Freedman, Israel 1982, supplement 1990.) Berel Komisaruk and his family appear to have held a license to farm taxes which the local Jewish community was obliged to pay to the Russian government. In their case the particular tax was that due to the supply corp of the army, the Komisariat. This was probably the origin of this surname. Tradition claims some relationship with the famous Soloveitchik family of Kovno. Other than their common Levitic descent, this has not been established. The Soloveitchik family was amongst the founders of the Kovno community in the early 18th century. The 1816 Revision List for Rassein city includes two family groups with heads of family Leib, son of David Komisaruk and Velvel, son of David Komisaruk.

  • Paternal Legacy in Early English Literature Dissertation Presented In
    Paternal Legacy in Early English Literature Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Erin Marie Szydloski Shaull Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Christopher A. Jones, Advisor Leslie Lockett Karen Winstead Copyright by Erin Marie Szydloski Shaull 2015 Abstract This dissertation argues that literature in Old English and early Middle English characterizes legacy-giving as a serious obligation of fatherhood and key paternal role. I contend that the father’s legacy in this cultural context can be understood to include property, heirlooms, wisdom, and kin ties. This project contributes to the emerging study of fatherhood, which has begun to examine fatherhood as a previously under-explored phenomenon that is both a cultural institution and a part of many men’s lived experiences. I examine Anglo-Saxon law-codes, Old English wisdom poetry, Beowulf, and the Middle English texts The Proverbs of Alfred and Layamon’s Brut in order to argue for the cultural importance of this fatherly role. I argue that many of the same cultural markers of Anglo-Saxon paternal legacy continue to be relevant after the Norman Conquest, but that the Norman practice of strict patrilineal primogeniture alters certain aspects of fatherhood. While Old English literature prizes a relationship between father and son that includes an ongoing giving of self on the part of the father, early Middle English literature prefers an ideal father who serves as a prototype for the son, dying just as the son reaches adulthood.

    Obituary "P" Index Copyright © 2004 – 2021 GRHS DISCLAIMER: GRHS cannot guarantee that should you purchase a copy of what you would expect to be an obituary from its obituary collection that you will receive an obituary per se. The obituary collection consists of such items as a) personal cards of information shared with GRHS by researchers, b) www.findagrave.com extractions, c) funeral home cards, d) newspaper death notices, and e) obituaries extracted from newspapers and other publications as well as funeral home web sites. Some obituaries are translations of obituaries published in German publications, although generally GRHS has copies of the German versions. These German versions would have to be ordered separately for they are kept in a separate file in the GRHS library. The list of names and dates contained herein is an alphabetical listing [by surname and given name] of the obituaries held at the Society's headquarters for the letter combination indicated. Each name is followed by the birth date in the first column and death date in the second. Dates may be extrapolated or provided from another source. Important note about UMLAUTS: Surnames in this index have been entered by our volunteers exactly as they appear in each obituary but the use of characters with umlauts in obits has been found to be inconsistant. For example the surname Büchele may be entered as Buchele or Bahmüller as Bahmueller. This is important because surnames with umlauted characters are placed in alphabetic order after regular characters so if you are just scrolling down this sorted list you may find the surname you are looking for in an unexpected place (i.e.
