Private First Class Stephen Robert Jones 28Th Infantry Division

28th Infantry Division Private First Class Stephen Robert Jones Distinctive Unit Insignia Stephen Robert Jones, a son of John William and Lydia Marchant Jones, was born on June 17, 1919, in Henefer, Utah. He was a graduate of North Summit High School. He entered the army on March 16, 1944. After basic training, he was assigned to the 112th Infantry Regiment that entered Europe on the Normandy Beach sometime after D-Day, June 6, 1944. The regiment was re-designated as the 112th Regimental Combat Team after it landed. He was killed in action November 8, 1944 during the attack in the Huertgen Forest. He is buried at the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Henri-Chapelle, Belgium; Plot D, Row 9, Grave 53. A memorial head stone is located in the Henefer Cemetery. At time of his death, he was survived by his parents, two brothers; William Marchant, Horace Allen and three sisters; Harriet Lydia, Mary Elizabeth, and Alice May. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Albert George and John Marchant. The 28th Infantry Division’s nickname is the “Keystone Division” and was a member of the Pennsylvania (Keystone State), National Guard. The division was officially established in 1879 and was later re-designated as the 28th Division in World War I. The division patch is a keystone and has been used by Pennsylvania as a civil and military emblem. The color red was arbitrarily chosen. The Germans called the division, “The Bloody Bucket”. The components of the Regiment’s distinctive insignia are as follows: a rampant lion was added to the old coat of arms of the 112th Infantry Regiment, the lion is in the infantry color, and it symbolizes the province of Lorraine where the regiment fought. The blue cross represents action in the Civil War and the Spanish Castle represents service during the Spanish- American War. The bridge represents the bridge over the Vesle River at Fismes, France and symbolizes its service in World War I..

Автор подчеркивает особую ценность исследования прескриптивизма в сопоставительном аспекте. Ключевые слова: прескриптивизм, языковая норма, сопоставительное языкознание. The article considers the notion of Prescriptivism. The author points to the potential value of an investigation of Prescriptivism not limited to the problems specific to a single language. Key words: Prescriptivism, standard language, comparative linguistics. I In this essay I shall be guided by the precept of my colleague John Ayto to be “descriptive about prescriptivism” and by the injunction of Professor Randolph, Lord Quirk, that those working at The Survey Of English Usage at University College London should study not only Use but also Reaction to Use. Which leaves me with the task of saying what Prescriptivism is. Prescriptivism is the study of What Should Be by contrast with Descriptivism, the study of What Actually Is. Prescriptivism springs eternal in the human breast. Some years ago Professor Suzanne Romaine of Oxford University gave in London a lecture about her work with pidgin and creole languages, and in particular the pidgin Tok Pisin of Papua New Guinea.

Poems from Postliberation South Africa. Ed Robert Berold. Scottsville: University of Natal Press, N.D
Book Reviews It All Begins: Poems from Postliberation South Africa. Ed Robert Berold. Scottsville: University of Natal Press, n.d. R 149.95. This anthology is of poems first published in the journal New Coin, during the first ten years of Robert Berold’s editorship, 1989–1999. Berold says that he selected them then, as he selects them now, for the way they speak to him. I have not read New Coin. My knowledge of South African poetry comes from books rather than journals. This anthology thus introduced me to some poets I did not know, and I read the collection for what the subtitle promises: a poetic snapshot of the first decade after apartheid and a survey of the poetry of that time. The first thing to note about the anthology is its variety. There are eight thematic divisions, and while politics is everywhere, the subjects range from the land to sex to family to art. Explicit comment on national politics is lim- ited to one section that looks backward at the suffering under apartheid, and two sections that comment, usually with bitterness, on the present dispensa- tion. Disillusionment or at least challenge and scepticism remain a near con- stant. I was pleased to see translations from Xitsonga, Afrikaans, and Zulu. Vonani Bila combines several languages in his poem “Comrades, Don’t We Delude Ourselves?” Kelwyn Sole, himself represented in this anthology, says in the afterword that these poems should not be read as representative of something else but for their own sake. He rightly denounces any of the common stereotyped dis- tinctions between poets made on the basis of race.

South Africa in the Global Imaginary: an Introduction
South Africa in the Global Imaginary: An Introduction Leon de Kock English, South Africa 1. The Elements in Play What I want to write about is the penetration, expansion, skir- mishing, coupling, mixing, separation, regrouping of peoples and cultures—the glorious bastardisation of men and women mutually shaped by sky and rain and wind and soil....Andeverywhereis exile; we tend to forget that now. The old ground disappears, ex- propriated by blood as new conflicting patterns emerge. Breyten Breytenbach, Dog Heart, Introductions to South African literary culture conceived as an entity have a peculiar trademark: They apologize for attempting to do the impossible 1 and then go ahead anyway. This gesture, ranging from rhetorical genu- flection to anxious self-examination to searing critique of others who have dared to undertake what should not be attempted lightly, reveals a signifi- cant fault line in the field of South African literary studies, although field is a problematic metaphor here, like almost every other metaphor one cares to use. Literary ‘‘fields’’—entities, groupings—require some reason other than the mere convenience of geography for their existence: they need mini- mal convergence in the domains of origin, language, culture, history, and nationalism (contested or not) to become, in some sense, cohesive and inter- referential. But in the South African case each of these domains fragments . See, for example, Gray (: ); Van Wyk Smith (: i–iii); Chapman (: xx); Wade (: –); and Jolly and Attridge (: ).

Harassed graduate student of Linguistics, University of Cape Town. 1 Introduction A prominent lexico-grammatical element in South African English (henceforth SAE) is busy, used together with the usual be + -ing of standard English to mark ongoing activity. Its existence on the borderline of lexis and grammar can be seen from its being just about the only grammatical marker to have an entry in the Dictionary of South African English on Historical Principles (DOSAEHP). The entry in the earlier fourth edition of the Dictionary of South African English (DOSAE) is as follows (edited slightly for illustrative purposes): busy adj. substandard. Used redundantly in SAE with an -ing form of certain forms to indicate progressive, signifying "engaged in" or equivalent.

The Body-Snatchers
The Body-Snatchers (1884) Robert Louis Stevenson EVERY night in the year, four of us sat in the small parlour of the George at Debenham—the undertaker, and the landlord, and Fettes, and myself. Sometimes there would be more; but blow high, blow low, come rain or snow or frost, we four would be each planted in his own particular arm-chair. Fettes was an old drunken Scotchman, a man of education obviously, and a man of some property, since he lived in idleness. He had come to Debenham years ago, while still young, and by a mere continuance of living had grown to be an adopted townsman. His blue camlet cloak was a local antiquity, like the church- spire. His place in the parlour at the George, his absence from church, his old, crapulous, disreputable vices, were all things of course in Debenham. He had some vague Radical opinions and some fleeting infidelities, which he would now and again set forth and emphasise with tottering slaps upon the table. He drank rum—five glasses regularly every evening; and for the greater portion of his nightly visit to the George sat, with his glass in his right hand, in a state of melancholy alcoholic saturation. We called him the Doctor, for he was supposed to have some special knowledge of medicine, and had been known, upon a pinch, to set a fracture or reduce a dislocation; but beyond these slight particulars, we had no knowledge of his character and antecedents. One dark winter night—it had struck nine some time before the landlord joined us—there was a sick man in the George, a great neighbouring proprietor suddenly struck down with apoplexy on his way to Parliament; and the great man’s still greater London doctor had been telegraphed to his bedside.

Robert G. Joseph
Statement of Robert G. Joseph Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing on The New START June 24, 2010 Chairman Shaheen, Senator Lugar, distinguished members, thank you for the invitation to appear before this Committee to discuss the New START Treaty. Having retired from the career civil service in 2007 after serving at the Department of Defense, on the National Security Council staff, and at the Department of State, I am here today in a personal capacity. While my direct experience with arms control is grounded within the Executive Branch, I am well aware of the vital role the Senate has played in all of the treaties that I have been associated with – including the INF Treaty and the START I Treaty to reduce nuclear arms and provide strategic stability. In particular, this Committee has consistently provided close scrutiny of all arms control agreements submitted for consent to ratification. Our nation’s security has benefited from this due diligence – from asking hard questions and from fixing flaws that have been uncovered in the process. I would like to raise three questions for your consideration based on concerns that I have in my reading of the New START Treaty. The first is whether New START – especially the provisions on limitations and monitoring – meet the long-held standards we have thought necessary to protect U.S. security? Do the terms of the Treaty limit what we assume to be limited or are there gaps that must be addressed? And, equally important, do the terms provide for effective verification? A number of arms control experts have concluded that, based on their examination of the Treaty, rail-mobile ICBMs would not be counted under the Treaty limits.
