November Birthdays and Turned 52 on Nov Thursday, November 8, 2018 • APG News B5 Army medics train to prevent ‘lethal triad’ on the combat field By Will Ravenstein Fort Riley FORT RILEY, Kan. — On today’s battlefield, Soldiers can be injured hun- dreds of miles from medical treatment facilities. They have to rely on the ability of Army medics to get them safely to higher-level care. “Self-aid buys you seconds; Combat Life Saver buys you minutes; the medics buy you hours and the doctor can give you days,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Uriah Popp, Womack Army Medical Center senior noncommissioned officer at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. “We have to be able to sustain life from the point of entry through evacuation or delayed evacuation to get you to a surgeon to be able to have the patient survive the situation or the wounds to get them surgical intervention.” Popp was present as the Soldiers in the first course of Prolonged Field Care worked a training program at the Medical Simulation Training Center at Fort Riley, Kansas, Oct. 26. The weeklong program enhances the knowledge medics gain during Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to provide them with the ability to use equipment found in an aid station like ventilators, suction and whole blood drawing equipment, said Sgt. 1st Class Anthony Denning, noncommissioned offi- cer in charge, Medical Simulation Train- ing Center, U.S. Army Medical Depart- ment Activity. “A lot of the concepts they receive here will help them in any scenario that they are in,” Denning said. “A lot of it’s based on the type of equipment they will have.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.1 Eyeglasses are “one of the most important artifacts used in the courtroom.”2 In 2012, a defendant’s use of eyeglasses at trial went to appeal in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Harris v.

  • Black Stereotypes Microsoft Sway Presentation.Pdf
    Black Stereotypes Project by Jermaine Windham In this project, I will focus on the idea of the black stereotypes in the black community. The black nerd, black thug, and brute stereotypes will be the most prevalent in this presentation. These stereotypes are reinforced and given creation through African Americans' portrayal in the media. Because of these stereotypes, blacks are forced to feel as though they have to act a certain way in society pressuring them not be themselves. This makes it hard for some blacks to fit into their own community and it strips away a person’s individuality. We, as a community, must learn to accept others for the way they are and uplift each other for being unique. We must understand that the media's portrayal of cultures is not always accurate and cannot truly define who people are. My main goal in this project is to try to recreate the black community to be more accepting of individual thought and personality by showcasing what blacks have offered into the media versus what we can offer to the media. I also would like for people to understand that the images of people seen in media do not define an ethnicity because we are all different. I will focus on how the media and the perception of the black image affect how individuals try to fit into society. I want to open up the minds of people in the black community so that they can be more accepting of people who are perceived to fit into the black nerd stereotype or are just out of the ordinary when compared to the generalized image of an African American.

  • Black Situational Comedies: a Legacy of Stereotypes, Ideology, and Hegemony
    Donald Morgan t Black Situational Comedies BLACK SITUATIONAL COMEDIES: A LEGACY OF STEREOTYPES, IDEOLOGY, AND HEGEMONY Donald Morgan Department of Humanities Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies York University, Toronto, Canada pos-el: [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this essay is to outline re-occurring archetypes that are found within the confines of —BlacN Sitcoms“. This essay demonstrates how these archetypes perpetuate negative stereotypes about teenage, African American males, under the guise of comedy and entertainment. This is accomplished by introducing the two most utilized archetypes that represent the black, teenaged, male which are prevalent in black sitcoms, along with examples of said archetypes. In doing so, this article also demonstrates a dichotomy between these two character types, in an attempt to highlight disturbing acceptance of certain media narratives about the African American community. Furthermore, explanations are provided as to how each archetype preys upon negative stereotypes and sociological taboos within the African American community, which results in negative impacts on the social consciousness of the African American community. What is more, this essay examines the negative ideology and subsequent hegemony that these television shows produce. Finally, I conclude with my own thoughts, regarding these issues. Keywords: African American, situational comedies, archetype, ideology, hegemony, stereotypes ABSTRAK Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan munculnya kembali arketipe-arketipe yang terdapat dalam tayangan komedi situasi yang diperankan oleh orang kulit hitam Amerika atau yang dikenal dengan istilah —Black Sitcoms“.
