Colonel Gilda A. Jackson, a native of Columbus, Ohio, made Marine Corps history when she achieved the rank of colonel. She was serving as Special Projects Officer, 2d Marine Aircraft Wing at the time of her promotion. 5 October 1775: Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 2d Continental Congress used the word "Marines" on one of the earliest known occasions, when it directed General George Washington to secure two vessels on "Continental risqué and pay", and to give orders for the "proper encouragement to the Marines and seamen" to serve on the two armed ships. 6 October 1945: Major General Keller E.

  • Whose History and by Whom: an Analysis of the History of Taiwan In
    WHOSE HISTORY AND BY WHOM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF TAIWAN IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE PUBLISHED IN THE POSTWAR ERA by LIN-MIAO LU (Under the Direction of Joel Taxel) ABSTRACT Guided by the tenet of sociology of school knowledge, this study examines 38 Taiwanese children’s trade books that share an overarching theme of the history of Taiwan published after World War II to uncover whether the seemingly innocent texts for children convey particular messages, perspectives, and ideologies selected, preserved, and perpetuated by particular groups of people at specific historical time periods. By adopting the concept of selective tradition and theories of ideology and hegemony along with the analytic strategies of constant comparative analysis and iconography, the written texts and visual images of the children’s literature are relationally analyzed to determine what aspects of the history and whose ideologies and perspectives were selected (or neglected) and distributed in the literary format. Central to this analysis is the investigation and analysis of the interrelations between literary content and the issue of power. Closely related to the discussion of ideological peculiarities, historians’ research on the development of Taiwanese historiography also is considered in order to examine and analyze whether the literary products fall into two paradigms: the Chinese-centric paradigm (Chinese-centricism) and the Taiwanese-centric paradigm (Taiwanese-centricism). Analysis suggests a power-and-knowledge nexus that reflects contemporary ruling groups’ control in the domain of children’s narratives in which subordinate groups’ perspectives are minimalized, whereas powerful groups’ assumptions and beliefs prevail and are perpetuated as legitimized knowledge in society.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

    13 views | Jun 2, 2020, 07:15am EDT How To Prepare To Exit Your Business During The Pandemic Patrick Galleher Forbes Councils Member Forbes Finance Council COUNCIL POST | Paid Program Money POST WRITTEN BY Patrick Galleher Patrick Galleher is the Managing Partner for Boxwood Partners, a merchant bank in Richmond, Virginia, where he leads sell-side transactions. Photo: GETTY The COVID-19 pandemic has upset plans for businesses across the country. Everything from planned trips to conferences and even day-to-day operations has been upended as we all adapt to what people are calling the new normal. One major point of concern is likely how the coronavirus may impact your plans for retirement or your exit strategy for your business. Or a sudden job shift may have you eyeing the next phase of your career. Maybe you’ve received an unexpected offer to sell your business that you can’t refuse. Regardless of why you’re eyeing a way out, it’s important you’re prepared to handle this major life transition. I have been fortunate to guide many businesses through the sale process. Because of this, I’d like to offer some advice to business owners and highlight some of the things they need to do if they want to gracefully and successfully exit their business. Make Sure Your Business Plan Includes An Exit Plan It might seem as though I’m stating the obvious, but you’d be surprised by how often this crucial detail is overlooked. Rarely have I come across a business owner who has built their business for an exit, and the ones who have planned ahead have benefitted greatly.

  • Interview Transcripts Peter Brant
    Washington Post Peter Brant, childhood friend Peter Brant: I do consider him a friend in the sense that we knew each other so well.

I didn’t really see him very much, hardly at all until the ‘80s and then I kind of reconnected with him in the ‘90s and we were social friends. I played golf with him. He’d been to my house several times in the ‘90s. Michael E. Miller (Washington Post): This one here or -- Brant: No. Miller: Connecticut? Brant: No, I’d been to Mar-a-Lago, not a member there but my sister is. I was a member of the golf course that he has here in Palm Beach but only because it was a corporate membership. And my partner at that time, who is my cousin, who’d been my partner for many, many years and whose father was my father’s partner, loves to play golf and he was a member. So I might have played there twice in my life, you know. So there’s no real connection then. You know, he would write me a letter every now and then, just talking about marriage or whatever and -- 1 Miller: Seeking your advice on things or -- Brant: No, no, no, no, no.

Drake's fourth album sounds claustrophobic and too long and weirdly monotonous, yet a few great moments are triggered by the occasional tweaks in the mix. On July 31, 2015, the track was recorded by Nineteen85 as the album's lead single "Hotline Bling" was released. 'Hotline Bling' was included as the bonus track on the record, despite the song being released as the official lead single for Views. VIEWS is the name of the record, but its viewpoint is distinctly singular. In a recent, toothless interview, Drake told Zane Lowe, differentiating VIEWS from his previous work, "This album, I'm very proud to say, is just, I feel like I told everyone how I really feel." This may sound like a ludicrous distinction, but it's appropriate, and it suggests why this album sounds more like a claustrophobic mindfuck than a communal catharsis. There's never any doubt that Drake is the star of his own show. Artist: Drake Album: Views (2016) Genre: Hip-Hop. Track list: 01. Keep the Family Close 02. 9 03. U With Me? 04. Feel No Ways 05.

  • Smedley D. Butler and Prohibition Enforcement in Philadelphia, 1924-1925
    Smedley D. Butler and Prohibition Enforcement in Philadelphia, 1924-1925 ALL OBSERVERS agreed that Philadelphia was among the wettest / \ of many cities remaining ostentatiously wet after the pas- JL JL sage of the Volstead Act. In appealing for federal aid during the fall of 1923, the governor of Pennsylvania, Gifford Pinchot, wrote that more than thirteen hundred saloons were doing business more or less openly. Not to be outdone, Philadelphia police insisted that they had records of eight thousand places selling illegal liquor and speculated that there might be as many more. A New York newsman investigating these reports found that rents for promising corners had quadrupled, and that instead of gulping their liquor furtively according to approved prohibition etiquette, Philadelphians were having drinks mixed at their tables as in pre-Volstead days.1 Attempts to dry up the City of Brotherly Love had failed, and advocates of reform blamed a tight control of the police by the city ward leaders.2 Opponents of prohibition, however, argued that the most efficient police could not prevent the demand indicated by even thirteen hundred saloons from being supplied, and that the demand was not likely to cease in a traditionally wet city of two millions. In that same fall of 1923, Philadelphians elected a new mayor, W. Freeland Kendrick. He had been in politics since he was old enough to vote and had twice been city receiver of taxes. A tall man, seldom seen in public without a grin, he liked to slap his friends on the back and hear them call him "Bill" or "Freel." He possessed a sensitivity to public demands which included the political intuition that the public might prefer to get slightly less than it demanded.

  • Us Marines, Manhood, and American Culture, 1914-1924
    THE GLOBE AND ANCHOR MEN: U.S. MARINES, MANHOOD, AND AMERICAN CULTURE, 1914-1924 by MARK RYLAND FOLSE ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR DANIEL RICHES LISA DORR JOHN BEELER BETH BAILEY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Mark Ryland Folse 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that between 1914 and 1924, U.S. Marines made manhood central to the communication of their image and culture, a strategy that underpinned the Corps’ effort to attract recruits from society and acquire funding from Congress. White manhood informed much of the Marines’ collective identity, which they believed set them apart from the other services. Interest in World War I, the campaigns in Hispaniola, and the development of amphibious warfare doctrine have made the Marine Corps during this period the focus of traditional military history. These histories often neglect a vital component of the Marine historical narrative: the ways Marines used masculinity and race to form positive connections with American society. For the Great War-era Marine Corps, those connections came from their claims to make good men out of America’s white youngsters. This project, therefore, fits with and expands the broader scholarly movement to put matters of race and gender at the center of military history. It was along the lines of manhood that Marines were judged by society. In France, Marines came to represent all that was good and strong in American men.

The relational aspect of care hinges on how the caregiver uses his or her self as an instrument of care. For caregivers to fully engage in the art of healing, they must be mindful of the self they are bringing to every encounter. This mindfulness can be strengthened through the thoughtful pursuit of self-attunement, self-clarity, and self-compassion. Keywords: therapeutic use of self; therapeutic relationship; self-compassion; self- attunement; self-clarity; reflection ately, I find myself reflecting on what has influenced my life’s work over the L past 40 years and what has mattered most. I remember three women who had a profound influence in my formative years on my beliefs about nursing and car- ing for people. The woman who inspired me to go into nursing is a beautiful soul and a dear friend. I met Cathy Muntifering in my late teens at a time when nursing was the furthest thing from my mind. Cathy was a night supervisor at St. Cloud Hospital in Minnesota, and we spent hours at the kitchen table talking about her work and the people she helped get through the night—from distressed families to distressed patients and staff.
