  • Wilderness Hero 3
    Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center’s Wilderness Investigations High School Wilderness Hero #3 John F. Kennedy President John F. Kennedy; 35th U.S. President (No copyright indicated) Common Core Standard Connections Standards addressed will vary depending on how the teacher chooses to approach the lesson and/or activities. Instructions for the teacher: Rarely, if ever, is one individual responsible for the hard work and vision involved in bringing about wilderness legislation, specific wilderness designation, or wilderness management. The 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was an important player in the ultimate success of the Wilderness Act of 1964 (signed into law the year after his untimely death). John F. Kennedy is the focus of this Wilderness Hero spotlight. To help students get to know this amazing wilderness hero, choose one or more of the following: • Photocopy and hand out Wilderness Hero Sheet #3 to each student. 143 o Based on the information found there, have them write a short news article about John F. Kennedy and his role in the story of designated wilderness. • From the list of wilderness quotes found within Wilderness Hero Sheet #3, have students select one or more, copy the quote, and then interpret what the quote(s) means to them. • Use the handout as the basis of a short mini-lesson about John F. Kennedy and wilderness. • Have students research John F. Kennedy’s presidency and from their findings create a timeline showing important events taking place during President Kennedy’s administration (January 1961 – November 1963). o This was a time of significant national and world events (Cuban Missile Crisis, civil rights movement, early Viet Nam War involvement, financial challenges, etc.).

  • 'Dalai Lama Effect' on International Trade
    Paying a Visit: The ‘Dalai Lama Effect’ on International Trade Andreas FUCHS 1 and Nils-Hendrik KLANN 2 University of Goettingen Preliminary draft (Please do not cite without permission) This version: July 16, 2010 Abstract This article investigates the extent to which the state of bilateral relations has an impact on exports to China. China frequently threatens that meetings between its trading partners’ officials and the Dalai Lama will be met with animosity and lead to a subsequent deterioration in the state of their trade relationships. We run a gravity model of exports to China from 159 partner countries between 1991 and 2008 to test whether countries officially receiving the Dalai Lama are economically punished by the Chinese through trade reductions. In order to account for the potential endogeneity of meetings with the Dalai Lama, the number of Tibet Support Groups and the travel pattern of the Buddhist leader are used as instruments. Our results indicate that China punishes countries that receive the Dalai Lama at the highest political level. However, this ‘Dalai Lama Effect’ is only observed for the Hu Jintao era and not for earlier periods. Furthermore, we find that this effect disappears two years after a meeting took place. Keywords: International Trade, International Political Economy, Diplomatic Relations, Exports to China, Tibet, Dalai Lama JEL codes: F13, F51, F59 1 Faculty of Economic Sciences, Platz der Goettinger Sieben 3, D-37073 Goettingen, Germany, E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Faculty of Economic Sciences, Platz der Goettinger Sieben 3, D-37073 Goettingen, Germany, E-Mail: hhk@uni- goettingen.de 1 “We will take corresponding measures to make the relevant countries realise their mistakes.” Zhu Weiqun, executive deputy head of the Communist party's United Front Work Department "There is a Tibetan saying: some wounds in the mouth recover by themselves."

  • Turkey Vulture Migration in Veracruz, Mexico
    426 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS as scattered small groups of vultures were seen as we traveled south to the city of Veracruz. More small flocks were seen west of Veracruz on the following day. The migrating vultures seemed to be restricted to the coastal lowlands since no additional flocks were seen once we left that area. Similar flights have been observed during autumn in Panama by Loftin (Carib. J. Sci., 3:63- 64, 1963) and Hicks, Rogers, and Child (Bird-Banding, 37:123, 1966). Eisenmann (Smithson. Misc. Coll., 117: 13, 1952) has reported large flocks over Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, in the spring. Of the studies on the birds of Veracruz, only Wetmore (Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus., 93:237, 1943) has commented on a large migration of Turkey Vultures. He observed the steady passage of numerous small groups of vultures through southern Veracruz on 6 and 10 April 1939. His largest group contained about 50 birds. To the best of our knowledge, our obser- vation is the first record of large migratory flocks of Turkey Vultures in Veracruz.-LouIs J.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1963 PRINCIPAL FILE SERIES DESCRIPTION The 1963 Principal File served as the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg office. It is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, politics, publications, statements, and trips. This subseries is comprised of a little over thirty-one boxes, and it is arranged in alphabetical order by name of subject category. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, gifts, and messages. The alphabetical subseries consists of nearly thirty-nine boxes of materials arranged in alphabetical order by names of individuals and organizations. Though primarily a correspondence file, it also contains other types of documents, including speeches, published materials, lists, statements, minutes of meetings, and transcripts of interviews. This series reveals that the volume of Eisenhower’s correspondence continued to grow. It placed an increasing burden on his staff, who answered most inquiries, and on friends such as Bryce Harlow, who often drafted letters for Eisenhower on politically sensitive subjects, and on Dwight Eisenhower himself, who continued to edit correspondence with friends and acquaintances. The increased strain on Eisenhower and his staff is revealed in the many letters which turned down requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages from the former president. The bulk of this series consists of routine correspondence and related materials. However, there are numerous letters and memoranda which discuss national and international events, issues, and personalities. The space program, taxes, the New Frontier, People to People, the Test Ban Treaty, the assassination of President Kennedy, NATO, the U.S.
