This included playing a pioneer role in the rise of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China as economic super- powers; in the emergence of Thunderbird School of Global Management alumnae brother Merle Hinrichs as the largest trade magazine publisher in Asia, major financial donor to Thunderbird and a member of the board of directors of the school; and in the rise of go-go entrepreneur Larry Flynt to prominence and great wealth as the publisher of HUSTLER magazine and other publications and a powerful influence on American culture and civil rights. Then there were encounters he had with a wide variety of notables, including Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, one of Ame- rica’s top World War II Naval leaders, as well as relationships with Yoshio Karita, former protocol officer for Japan’s Imperial Family, and other famous people. Another memorable event in his career: he is in the Guinness Book of World Records for a 1957 four-month long journey he made from Japan to Alaska on an amphibious jeep named HALF-SAFE with the world-circling jeep’s Australian owner and “captain” Ben Carlin…a feat he later chronicled in a book entitled ONCE A FOOL! – From Japan to Alaska by Amph- ibious Jeep. According to De Mente, at no time in his long career did he think that what he was doing was remarkable or that it would have a fundamental influence on the lives of so many people or that it would contribute to the future of so many nations. A full list of books written by De Mente is included at the end of this memoir. *** 8 A VERY PERSONAL MEMOIR INTRODUCTION I was born the fourth of ten children and first son of Elza Lafayette Dement and Ruby Ila Bounds-Dement at 7:30 a.m. on 12 November 1928 in a tiny isolated valley known as Mayberry in the Ozark Hills of southeast Missouri, USA. “Just in time to start for school!” my mother is said to have quipped. Mayberry—which as of this writing has only one family—is about one-quarter to one-third of a mile wide and some four miles long. It was named after the first Anglo resident who arrived there in the early 1800s. My father Elza was born 2 October 1903 in the French- established community of Brunot near the Mississippi River in southeast Missouri. My mother, of English lineage, was born in the small township of Centerville, Missouri [the county seat], on Highway 21 several miles west of Mayberry, on 11 January 1907. She was 16 and my father was 20 when they married. Their first child, Velva, born in 1923, died of a child-hood ailment shortly before her second birthday and five months after the birth of their second daughter, Jessie. They were to have eight more children—spaced about 22 months apart. On the morning of my birth my mother named me Elza Lafayette after my father, but from Day One I became known as Boye, which everyone then pronounced as boy. I was born at home with no doctor in attendance. My birth was never officially recorded, and there is no record of my original first name [Elza] ever having been used by anyone. My mother, who had only an 8th grade education, was a closet romantic and far more intelligent and accomplished than most of her nine surviving children realized during her life. She was vague about where she came up with the name Boye (written without the macron over the “e” until the invention of devices that made it possible), later telling me that it was the word “boy” with an “e” added to give it a French look because I was the first son following a string of three daughters and my father’s ancestry was French.

  • PICTORIAL POSTCARDS of a COLONIAL CITY: the "DREAM- WORK" of JAPANESE IMPERIAL- ISM Won Gi Jung
    Won Gi Jung 39 PICTORIAL POSTCARDS OF A COLONIAL CITY: THE "DREAM- WORK" OF JAPANESE IMPERIAL- ISM Won Gi Jung Introduction by Yumi Moon, Associate Professor of His- tory, Stanford University The Japanese empire produced many kinds of visual sources in governing its colonies. Won Gi Jung focuses on postcards of colonial Korea collected in the LUNA Archive of the University of Chicago, analyzing their pictorial narratives and the contexts in which they were made and consumed. Comparing Japan’s case with Western colonialism, Won Gi associates the fourishing postcard industry with the development of modern tourism in the Japanese metropole. He also accentuates Japan’s interest in using foreign tourism to present positive images of its empire to the world. For this reason it was the colonial state of Korea, rather than private studios, that produced the postcards, carefully curating the images of main tourist sites in Keijō (present-day Seoul) and elsewhere. Won Gi also discusses several publications by Western tourists who visited colonial Korea and offers a balanced commen- tary on the colonial state’s “dreamlike” representation of Keijō. Pictorial Postcards 40 Pictorial Postcards of a Colonial City: The "dreamwork" of Japanese Imperialism Won Gi Jung It’s because she found only one or two ‘Korean-made’ products… The [Australian] mistress wanted to purchase Joseon costume for female, but she couldn’t fnd any ready-made clothes. She said, “How come I cannot fnd even one pictorial postcard made by Koreans?”1 Blooming cherry blossom trees adorn the streets of spring- time Keijo.2 A Shinto shrine, dedicated to the Japanese sun-god- dess Amaterasu, stands with dignity at the center of the city.3 Street signs and brochures written in Japanese fll a crowded market- place.4 Tourists saw these landscapes in pictorial postcards sold at train stations, private studios, or near historical sites in colonial Korea.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

It is simply may also called as Amphibian. Amphibious vehicle is a concept of vehicle having versatile usage. It can be put forward for the commercialization purpose with respect to various applications like in the field of military and rescue operations. Researchers are working on amphibious vehicle with capability to run in adverse conditions in efficient way. This paper focuses on concept of amphibious vehicle in detail. In later stage of paper we have explain and described the design and analysis of amphibious car. We have followed proper design procedure and enlisted the material used in detail. Capabilities of efficient amphibious vehicle will fulfil all the emerging needs of society. Success of every concept largely relies on research and development, though amphibious vehicle is yet to travel a long journey of innovative development, it has shown excellent potentials for future benefits.
