Ever since I can remember, Christmas was always the biggest day of the year for me. Still is actually, but now I’m more focused on celebrating the holiday rather than sniffing around the tree to see if there is something that has the size and shape of a model kit! Here at Squadron, the holidays are the busiest time of the year and we’re trying to do our best to end the year the way we started it and that is with a great group of new products sure to excite all of you. We are thrilled to introduce our new line of display bases for your models. Nothing finishes telling the story of the kit you have built than a proper display. Check out pages 8-9 to learn all about these new display bases exclusively available at Squadron. Featuring one of these new display bases is a very limited-edition Encore Kit of the Blue Max Pfalz (EC32004SE on the back cover). There are only 300 pieces available of this great kit! Act fast as these are sure to be gone very quickly. There are 3 NEW True Details Premium wheel sets available for the F-18C Hornet. They come in 3 scales TDP72207, TDP48207 and TDP32207. These wheel sets are mastered from 3D patterns and will adapt to any F-18C kit. Our True Details Premium accessories are continuing to reset the standard in resin parts so you won’t want to miss the chance to elevate your build with them. Don’t miss our latest Squadron Signal Publications release, SS10251, SH-60 Seahawk in Action, by John Gourley. First introduced in the mid-1980s, the U.S. Navy’s Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk helicopter fulfills a wide range of functions from combat to providing relief to populations stricken by natural disasters. Based on the U.S. Army’s UH-60 Black Hawk, and developed in accordance with the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System, the SH-60 in general has seen many developments while un- dergoing several configurations and is considered the modern-day workhorse of the US Military. This publication has 80 pages and is illustrated with over more than 260 full-color photographs. Expanding our Squadron Tools line is SQPS003 (page 60), .75mm or .030” High Grade Plastic Card. These 6” x 12” sheets will help you with all your modeling projects and is sturdy enough to build any diorama structure. Don’t forget about our Limited Edition Premium Haunebu II Flying Saucer, SQM0002, Civilian Version (page 12). This kit will look very nice, all wrapped up under someone’s Christmas tree! Be sure to pick up the Paint Set as well (SQP11002) at a significant savings over the individual colors. Also, check our website at www.Squadron.com for regular updates and new arrivals. In name of the whole Squadron Team, I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! Thank you for being a loyal customer and I hope we can do it all over again next year! Cheers!

  • DRAFT EP210317 Guillermin
    Creativity and Mental Health Disorders with Mary Guillermin Mental Health Advocate Pellin Institute An Empowered Patient Podcast Published April 25, 2021 Karen Jagoda: Welcome to the EmpoweredPatientPodcast.com show. I'm Karen Jagoda. And my guest today is Mary Guillermin. She's an advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health and she's an author of John Guillermin: The Man, The Myth, The Movies. She's also a marriage and family therapist, and director of communications, and Senior Pellin Practitioner at the Pellin Institute International. So I want to welcome you to the show today, Mary, and that's a long way of introducing you. So I think the best idea is to have you tell us a little bit about the Pellin Institute and what that means in your life. Mary Guillermin: Okay. So I first met Peter Fleming, founder and director of the Pellin Institute when I was in my twenties, which was over 40 years ago. And he developed a way of working called contribution training. It's deliberately not called therapy. They use Gestalt therapy for the deeper bit, so the more personal bit. Contribution training is a set of tools about mental health and wellness. And he could see, and I knew that I suffered from extreme mood swings, and in the very first piece of Gestalt work he did with me, he got me straight into my calm. Mary Guillermin: The calm, what we call the pendulum, the tool of the pendulum of emotions. And so I was rather fascinated by this because being calm wasn't an experience I had very often, I was either very up or very down.

Reardon All Rights Reserved ii This dissertation titled The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943 by JEFF T. REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.
