THE KONGO RULE: THE PALO MONTE MAYOMBE WISDOM SOCIETY (REGLAS DE CONGO: PALO MONTE MAYOMBE) A BOOK BY LYDIA CABRERA AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM THE SPANISH Donato Fhunsu A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature (Comparative Literature). Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s. -
SDSU Aerospace Engineering Volume 1 Issue 1 November 2019 WELCOME to the FIRST ISSUE of OUR NEWSLETTER! Excellence in Teaching Award Congratulations to Dr
SDSU Aerospace Engineering Volume 1 Issue 1 November 2019 WELCOME TO THE FIRST ISSUE OF OUR NEWSLETTER! Excellence in Teaching Award Congratulations to Dr. Satchi This is the very first newsletter the Department of Aerospace Engineering has ever published. In its Venkataraman on earning the own right, this inaugural issue is a historical milestone. The Aerospace Engineering program at San “Excellence in Teaching Award” from Diego State started in 1968. Over the half century, many students received a solid education and went Northup Grumman for 2018-19. Pictured on to have productive and fulfilling professional careers. Together with the College of Engineering, here with Dean Eugene Olevsky. the Department has been going through major changes in the last several years. Half the faculty in the Department, myself included, were hired within the last 5 years. Today the Aerospace Engineering program is the 3rd largest degree program in the College of Engineering at SDSU. We are in the midst of a significant curriculum renovation. The faculty and students in the Department are conducting cutting-edge research funded by NASA, DoD, NSF, and the industry. With this newsletter and future issues, we hope to establish a regular channel to engage you, our alumni and supporters, in this on- going transformation of the Department. We invite you to visit the Department and the campus when an opportunity arises. As always, your loyalty and support to the Department are greatly cherished. –Dr. Ping Lu President de la Torre visited the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA with Dr. Gustaaf Jacobs was the recipient of the 2019 our Department Chair Dr. -

Some chips and chocolate chip cookies rounded out the meal. Joe Russo and Gene Hubbard started working on the Stits Playboy project: wing frames were attached and the ailerons were taken off.

Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor
Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002). Assigned to the 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, Beale AFB, Calif., RSO Maj. Thomas Veltri (right) and Maj. Duane Noll prepare for an SR-71 mission from RAF Mildenhall, UK, in the mid- 1980s.

Brigadier General Bob Cardenas to Speak on March 2Nd!
Volume 28: Issue 2 ● February 2013 A Publication of the Pine Mountain Lake Aviation Association Brigadier General Bob Cardenas to Speak on March 2nd! Where: The McGowan’s Hanger at 6:00 PM March 2nd 2013 rigadier General Robert L. “Bob” Cardenas was born in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico on March 10th, 1920, and moved to San Diego with his parents at the age of five. During his teenage years, Cardenas built model B airplanes and helped local glider pilots with their dope-and-fabric construction, often bumming rides with the pilots in the gliders he helped to repair. A bright student with excellent grades in Mathematics and Physics at high school, Cardenas was selected to attend the San Diego State University. During 1939 Cardenas began a long and distinguished military career when he joined the California National Guard. In September of 1940, Cardenas entered into aviation cadet training, graduated and received his pilot wings & commission as a second lieutenant during July of 1941. Cardenas was sent to Kelly Field, Texas to become a flight instructor, then onto Twentynine Palms, California to establish the U.S. Army Air Force’s glider training school and followed this by becoming a Flight Test Officer and then Director of Flight Test Unit, Experimental Engineering Laboratory, Wright Field Ohio. Cardenas’ next assignment was to the 44th Bomb Group and arrived in England on January 4th, 1944. Based at Shipdam, Norfolk, Cardenas flew his first mission on January 21st in B-24H “Southern Comfort”. On March 18th, 1944 (on his twentieth mission) while flying as command pilot aboard B-24J “Sack Artists” the aircraft in which Cardenas was flying was badly damaged by anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighters. -

Sign Up Now for the 2006 Official Publication of the: 2ADA Annual Convention! SEE PAGE 35 Volume 45 Number 2 Spring /Summer 2006 SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE Public Relations Division This copy has been transmitted to MOI London 8 MAY 45 and OWI Washington for release to Combined U.S. SHAEF RELEASE No. 1453 and Canadian Press and Radio. VICTORY ORDER OF THE DAY Men and women of the Allied Expeditionary Force: The crusade on which we embarked in the early summer of 1944 has reached its glorious conclusion. It is my especial privilege, in the name of all Nations represented in this Theatre of War, to commend each of you for valiant performance of duty. Though these words are feeble they come from the bottom of a heart overflowing with pride in your loyal service and admiration for you as warriors. Your accomplishments at sea, in the air, on the ground and in the field of supply, have astonished the world. Even before the final week of the conflict, you had put 5,000,000 of the enemy permanently out of the war. You have taken in stride military tasks so difficult as to be classed by many doubters as impossible. You have confused, defeated and destroyed your savagely fighting foe. On the road to victory you have endured every discomfort and privation and have surmounted every obstacle, ingenuity and desperation could throw in your path. You did not pause until our front was firmly joined up with the great Red Army coming from the East, and other Allied Forces, coming from the South.
