MiG Alley Flyer 2 March 10, 2006 Commentary Commander’s Women: building communities, dreams action line By Airman 1st Class Kara Torres n 1st Operations Support Group 784-4811 Since the beginning of time, women have played an important role in human existence. We are daugh- ters, sisters, wives, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, mentors and teachers. Mothers can magically heal a “boo-boo” with a kiss and a bandage; they say the right things to mend a broken heart or provide a hug or a shoulder to cry on. But women are not only emotional, loving creatures. When American Soldiers were sent to the world’s aid in World War I, women stepped up to the plate to take care of America, rear children, take care of the home -- all while manufacturing and shipping desperately needed items for the war. Passionate women have also disguised themselves as men in order to be a part of worthy causes, such as Joan of Arc during the French Revolution or Sarah Emma Edmonds (aka Frank Thompson) in the American Civil War.

  • SLEEP DISORDERS Sleep Disorders Are Common Among the Elderly and Occur in up to 50% of Individuals Over the Age of 65
    MEDICAL NOTES Valerie J. Shereck, MSN, ANP-C SLEEP DISORDERS Sleep disorders are common among the elderly and occur in up to 50% of individuals over the age of 65. Sleep disorders are defined as the inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, sleeping too much, or having abnormal, sleep-related behaviors. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine categorizes them into the following major groups: insomnia, hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness), sleep-related breathing disorders, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, parasomnias (sleep disorders that include unwanted events or experiences that occur while people are falling asleep, sleeping, or waking up), and sleep movement disorders. In this article, discussion will be limited to insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. As people age, the timing and amount of sleep changes. Older individuals tend to fall asleep earlier and awaken earlier and are less tolerant of changes in the sleep-wake cycle (i.e., jet lag and daylight saving time). Daytime napping in older adults may compensate for poor nighttime sleep, but napping can also contribute to poor nighttime sleep. Sleep efficiency also decreases from 95% during adolescence to less than 80%. TWO TYPES OF SLEEP The two main types of sleep are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. * NREM Sleep is divided into four stages based upon the amount and frequency of different types of brain waves (electrical activity of the brain). Stage I occurs as people become drowsy and fall into a light sleep. Stage II, where most sleep time is spent, is a continuation of light sleep.

  • It's the Official Request for Pictures for the 2010 Ironworker Women Calendar!
    www.SistersintheBuildingTrades.org The Sisters org is run on all volunteer hours, with no paid staff. We are a 501C3 non profit EIN # 56-2554359 The Chatter Page XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX It's the official request for pictures for the 2010 Ironworker Women Calendar! All pictures must be of a ironworker woman. Mainly on the job doing what we do . Some pictures with other ironworkers or at local events would be great too. An overall picture of the jobsite can be useful too. Higher the resolution the better. If you don't have a scanner, email me, and I'll scan them for you and send them back. I think I'm pretty saturated with 433 ironworkers--some great ones this year. I've got pictures from Christine from local 720, Reggie's jobsite (various women) from local 63, Deb from local 377, and Kim who worked iron in Antarctica for a local in Texas which I'm at the moment spacing out on. Don't worry if the pictures aren't that great--if you've got enough of them, I can try and put something together. If you haven't seen a calendar yet, you should have and I'll send you one. I'd like to have pictures by late July. If you can even just say you're going to do them for sure this year and send me a teaser, I'll save you a month. Thanks for all your help before, looking forward to putting this together for us all. Tell anyone you think will help.

  • The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP): Marvelous Women with Their Eyes on the Stars
    The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP): Marvelous Women With Their Eyes on the Stars Anne Wensley Senior Thesis Department of History Barnard College, Columbia University Professor Carl Wennerlind April 2019 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS “With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts” - Eleanor Roosevelt I’ve had the incredible privilege of growing up with a phenomenal, strong female role model: my mom, Lieutenant Colonel Laura Theodorson. When I was born, she was stationed on active duty at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey, eight years into what would become twenty-eight years of service in the U.S. Air Force. Twenty years ago, my mom transitioned to the Air Force Reserve at McChord Air Force Base, now Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle, Washington, where she continued flying for the military while beginning an airline pilot career. The idea of women serving in military aviation was normalized for me from a young age, as I frequently saw both my mom and her close female friends in uniform and in the cockpit. I was introduced to the topic of the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) in 2010, when my mom had the distinction of escorting WASP Ruth Glaser Wright Guhse during their Congressional Gold Medal ceremony. In April of 2010, I had the honor of meeting WASP Dorothy Kacher Olson when my Girl Scout Troop served as color guard for a City Council meeting in University Place, Washington, during which Olson was recognized. 2 It wasn’t until seven and a half years later, when taking Professor Premilla Nadasen’s History course on Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the 20th Century United States in the Fall 2017 that I began engaging with the topic of Women in the U.S.
