Visitors and dealers always welcome. November 2003 Volume XVIII, No. 10 Next Meeting: Saturday, November 22, 12 to 3 PM Fort Mason Center, Room C-370 Laguna Street at Marina Boulevard, San Francisco Please disarm pagers, cell phones, and alarms during the meeting. Program Notes: As it is our last meeting of the year we will forego an organized program in favor of an extended show and tell—bring whatever you would like to show off. The Gasp! meter will be in operation, and whoever garners the most Wow!s will be declared the winner. Our strictly en- forced limits of three items and two minutes will be relaxed somewhat. We’ll also be having our holiday party under the orchestration of hostess Darlene Thorne. Those of us who wish to do so are encouraged to bring non-goopy finger foods—sweet or savory—to share. Darlene will set a festive board herself, so our contributions should each be enough for five people. Liquid refreshment will be provided by the club. We can all add to the festivities by bringing a box or handful of cards to sell or trade. Milo Zarakov has contributed a packet of well worn but still lovable vintage cards; choose yours out of the club dime box. The Musantes are planning to bring a dozen or more boxes of dime cards as well, so it could prove to be a genuine almost-free-for-all.

  • The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Disse
    Science, Nurses, Physicians and Disease: The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Roberto Ramon Padilla II Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: James Bartholomew, Advisor Cynthia Brokaw Philip Brown Copyright by Roberto Ramon Padilla II 2009 Abstract This is a history of the emergence of a modern Japanese identity in the latter half of the nineteenth century as seen through the lens of scientific medicine. This study makes the argument that Japanese physicians’ construction of a modern identity was a two-fold process that identified Japan in line with Western imperialism and Western fields of knowledge, while conceptually distancing the island nation from nearby Asian neighbors. This perspective, which reflected the growing understanding among Japanese of their country’s emerging place in the world in the Meiji era (1868-1912), occurred within the context of the broad social, political, economic and military reforms that defined this period. Western medicine based on the rational proofs and perceived universality of scientific inquiry, positioned Japanese physicians as agents of modernity. I examine the way scientific medicine informed Japanese modernity in two ways: I begin by looking at how the Japanese Red Cross Society nurse came to be perceived as a national heroine, then I explain the Japanese Army Medical Bureau’s struggle to prevent beriberi, a nutritional deficiency illness in its ranks. These case studies offer a window into the interplay between modern medicine and traditional social values and underscore the reality that a field of knowledge is not adopted, but rather adapted and negotiated.

  • Episode 33 “The Mountain Where Your Souls Lie” Transcript
    The History of the Twentieth Century Episode 33 “The Mountain Where Your Souls Lie” Transcript [music: fanfare] In the opening months of the Russo-Japanese war, the Japanese have succeeded in neutralizing the Russian Pacific Fleet—mostly—and have landed large numbers of Japanese soldiers on the Asian mainland. By August 1904, the Third Army is besieging Port Arthur, while the First, Second, and now the newly arrived Fourth Army are all marching straight for the town of Liaoyang, headquarters of the Russian forces in Manchuria. Welcome to The History of the Twentieth Century. [music: opening theme] Episode 33. The Mountain Where Your Souls Lie. We are now three episodes into the Russo-Japanese war. So I’d like to start today by recapping where we stand, because I don’t want to lose anyone along the way. It is now August 1904. The war has been going on for six months. The most important actions of the land war so far have been on the Liaodong Peninsula. At the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is Port Arthur, home to the Russian Pacific Squadron and now under siege by the Japanese Third Army. Running north from Port Arthur along the length of the peninsula is the Chinese Southern Railway, which despite its name was built by Russians. The Chinese Southern Railway runs north into Manchuria all the way to the city of Harbin, where it joins the Chinese Eastern Railway, also Russian constructed, which is a shortcut between Vladivostok and points west. The Japanese have landed troops part way up the peninsula.

  • Guide to Creating an Index for Mcfarland (Please Read Carefully)
    Guide to creating an index for McFarland (Please read carefully) 1. Introduction An index is a vital component of your book—for some readers, especially in a library setting, it will be the first point of entry, and many others will rely on it as they read or consult your book. The purpose of an index is to enable your readers to find specific information quickly. It is not intended to inform, educate, or tell a story. No one reads an index, and readers won’t take the time to puzzle through a complex structure. They want instant, direct access, and for this reason, the simplest indexes are often the most user-friendly. We strongly recommend that you compose your own index rather than hiring a professional indexer. You are the authority on your book and your subject; no one else knows equally well how its topics relate to one another, which are important or how best to phrase them. In addition, the indexing process often turns up small discrepancies in the text that need the author’s judgment to resolve. Do not worry overmuch about the length of your index. It needs to be thorough. If that makes it somewhat lengthy, this is acceptable. The goal is to serve the user. When trying to decide what should be included, put yourself in the mind of the user. If he would expect to find a certain reference in the index, make sure it is there. We prefer that you submit your index in Microsoft Word, but most other word processing programs are fine as well.

  • Forgotten War 3 Russo – Japanese War 1904‐1905
    7/25/2019 Forgotten War 3 Russo – Japanese War 1904‐1905 Background to the Russo‐Japanese War • As the Eighteenth Century drew to a close the Czarist Empire of Russia was militarily the most backward in Europe. However they no doubt envied the other European powers’ ability to obtain colonies around the world. • Russia’s military and ruling class had the dream of having access to warm water ports on the Black Sea with rights to the Mediterranean and similar facilities on the Pacific. The Crimean War put an end to these ambitions in the West. Those in the East brought Russia into conflict with the rising ambitions of Japan. • In 1875 Russia handed over the Kurile Islands to Japan in return for Sakhalin. • In 1896 it intervened on behalf of China against Japan with the backing of both France and Germany and in return received railroad concessions in Manchuria from China. • Russia had already leased Port Arthur and Liaotung from China. In addition it had used the Boxer rising in 1900 as a pretext for reinforcing its military presence in Manchuria in order to one day penetrate into Korea. History of Warfare, H.W. Koch, Bison Books, 1987 1 7/25/2019 Shakhalin Kurile Islands 2 7/25/2019 “Japan, whose geographic position to the Asian mainland was similar to that of the British to the European mainland, could not in the interests of its own security, allow a major European power to dominate the collapsing Chinese Manchu Empire. This situation was the main cause of the war between Russia and Japan in 1904.” H.W.

  • How to Build a Table of Authorities and Table of Contents in Word
    How to Build A Table of Authorities in Word* By: Morgan Otway Overview: • A Table of Authorities (TOA) is a list of all of the sources cited in a legal document that notes the page numbers on which each source has been cited. • To create a TOA, you must “mark” each of your citations. Once all citations have been “marked,” Microsoft Word will generate a TOA that organizes the sources by category (e.g. cases, statutes, etc.) and alphabetically within each category. • NOTE: Once you “mark” each citation, Word will add hidden characters to that citation to designate that it has been “marked.” Don’t be alarmed by this! You can toggle this ON and OFF by checking and unchecking the ¶ symbol on the Home tab (located on the left-hand side of the toolbar). Instructions: 1. Locate the first citation in your document > highlight the full citation > go to Insert > Index and Tables > Table of Authorities. 2. Click “Mark Citation.” * Although differences should be slight, these instructions were based off of Microsoft Word for Mac 2011. 3. Once you click Mark Citation, the citation should appear in the “Selected text” box (see diagram on the next page). The way that the citation appears in the Selected text box is how it will appear in the TOA, once it has been generated. Therefore, you MUST remove the pincite from the citation in the “Selected text” box in order for the TOA to work properly. 4. From the list of categories, choose the category that describes the authority you’ve selected (e.g.

  • Was the Russo-Japanese War World War Zero?
    RE-IMAGINING CULTURE IN THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR Was the Russo-Japanese War World War Zero? JOHN W. STEINBERG As with any war in history, the Russo-Japanese War enjoys its share of myths and legends that range from Admiral Alekseev’s barber being a Japanese spy to the saga of the Baltic Fleet becoming the “fleet that had to die.” Perhaps because of such legends, or perhaps because World War I broke out less than a decade after the Russo-Japanese War formally ended with the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905, the centennial anniversary of Japan’s stunning victory witnessed a resurgence in Russo-Japanese War studies. Scholars from around the world responded to this date by convening various seminars, workshops, and conferences to reopen the study of a conflict that, while never completely forgotten, was largely overlooked after World War I. Always considered a bilateral engagement between two military powers, which it was in its most basic sense, the aim of all of these scholarly endeavors was to broaden our understanding of not only the war but also its global impact. The three following articles represent the work of one of the first such intellectual endeavors, a conference on “Re-imagining Culture in the Russo-Japanese War” that was held at Birkbeck College in London in March 2004.1 By addressing the impact of the conflict on society from its art and literature to the public reaction to the war as it progressed, Naoko Shimazu, Rosamund Bartlett, and David Crowley exhibit the depth of engagement that existed at every level of the civil-military nexus.
