This was helpful for us because it showed how the U.S. wasn’t the only ones effected by this event. This added more to our project so we had views from outside the US. Barbuor, John. “Alunizaron, Bajaron, Caminaron, Trabajaron: Proeza Lograda.” Excelsior [Mexico] 21 July 1969. 1. Print. The front page of this newspaper was extremely helpful to our project because we used it to see how this event impacted the whole world not just America. Beloff, Nora. “The Space Race: Experts Not Keen on Getting a Man on the Moon.” Age [Melbourne] 24 April 1962. 2. Print. This was an incredibly important article to use in out presentation so that we could see different opinions. This article talked about how some people did not want to go to the moon; we didn’t find many articles like this one. In most everything we have read it talks about the advantages of going to the moon. This is why this article was so unique and important. Canadian Press. “Half-billion Watch the Moon Spectacular.” Gazette [Montreal] 21 July 1969. 4. Print. This source gave us a clear idea about how big this event really was, not only was it a big deal in America, but everywhere else in the world. This article told how Russia and China didn’t have TV’s so they had to find other ways to hear about this event like listening to the radio.

  • Hombres Y Mujeres Muralistas on a Mission: Painting Latino Identities in 1970S San Francisco
    HOMBRES Y MUJERES MURALISTAS ON A MISSION: PAINTING LATINO IDENTITIES IN 1970S SAN FRANCISCO Cary Cordova American Studies, Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA Abstract This article argues for the importance of murals as cultural texts, consciously formed to entertain, influence, and solidify local and transnational communities. In 1974, two teams of artists painted two legendary murals in San Francisco’s Mission District: In ‘‘Homage to Siqueı´ros,’’ the trio of male muralists presented themselves as heirs to famed Mexican muralists in order to solidify their indictment of conditions in the Americas and counter the participatory role of their patron, the Bank of America. In ‘‘Latino America,’’ the female muralists rejected the Chicano Movement’s emphasis on Mexican masters and declared a new feminist, collaborative iconography. Although the murals were dissimilar in terms of gender, approach, and aesthetics, the muralists were joined in their desire to unite the local Latino community through their depictions of a shared homeland, or an imagined Latin America. This article highlights the aesthetic, cultural, political, gendered, and regional dimensions of Latino identities through the lens of mural creation. Keywords community murals; pan-Latino identity; iconography; Mission District ‘‘An explosion of human colors’’: Murals in ascendance Since the late 1960s, cultural workers in San Francisco’s predominantly Latino Mission District have produced an impressive body of literary and artistic work.

  • Sample Answer ‘How Did the US Achieve a Successful Moon Landing in 1069 and What Was Its National and International Significance for the US?’ (2019)
    Space Race | Sample Answer ‘How did the US achieve a successful moon landing in 1069 and what was its national and international significance for the US?’ (2019) The Moon Landing in 1969 was a statement of American Foreign policy and a huge advancement in technology that impacted both the US domestic and foreign affairs. The moon landing, which was a product of the space race between the ‘superpowers’ America and Russia proved to be a strong political statement in foreign policy and a measure of political reassurance regarding their domestic affairs. During the Cold War, America felt a sense of competition as their fellow superpower, Russia began to compete in producing deadly weapons and means to deliver them. This was known as the arms race and led to advancement such as the internet and eventually led to the moon landing. The Russian space success surprised the US as they launched their first inter- continental ballistic missile and the first man made earth satellite sputnik in 1957. The US, under Eisenhower set up NASA (the national aeronautics and space administration) in 1958 to organise US space exploration but the Soviets were still ahead when their Luna II rocket hit the moon and Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. The space race was another aspect of Cold War rivalry. In 1961, JFK committed the US to landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. He stated that “No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important to the long-range exploration of space; and none will be more difficult to accomplish”.

  • November, 1969 President's Message
    the official publicati of the American Land Title Association • November, 1969 President's Message NOVEMBER, 1969 Yes sir, it could well be a rough year! As we all pause at the end of this one and gather our strength for the next, the Washing­ ton staff has come up with an excellent project that I heartily endorse and which will start this winter. It is called "Operation Grassroots" and is designed to give the staff an indication of the needs of the abstracters and trends in their business. This will be accomplished by visits to individual ab­ stracters' offices in various states. An accumulation of written reports of these visits will be a use­ ful review of abstracting as it exists in much of the nation. Planned structuring of the visits is as follows: 1. Presenting an outline of ALTA services and literature now available to abstracters. 2. Asking the abstracter for his opinion about areas where ALTA programs and services can be strengthened for his benefit. 3. Asking the abstracter for basic, non-confidential information on his business over the past five years. Questions are to cover percentage increase or decrease in gross income, expense, and profit; errors and omissions insurance; increases in service charges; business relationship with land title underwriters; employee benefits including workmen's compensation and ALTA Group Insur­ ance; improvement in plant, equipment, and systems; and diversification of business activity. 4. Discussion that might suggest editorial ideas for Title News articles. Since this operation is to start this winter and entails much travel by car, the staff is not going to be so stupid as to begin in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or North Dakota.

  • Law Review 1270
    Law Review 1270 July 2012 Civilian Pension Credit for Military Service Time before 1994 By Captain Samuel F. Wright, JAGC, USN (Ret.) 1.1.3.2—Regular Military Service 1.3.1.1—Left Job for Service and Gave Prior Notice 1.3.1.3—Timely Application for Reemployment 1.3.2.3—Pension Credit for Military Service Time 1.4—USERRA Enforcement 1.6—USERRA Statute of Limitations 1.8—Relationship between USERRA and other Laws/Policies Q: I have read with interest your “Law Review” articles at www.servicemembers-lawcenter.org. I am trying to discern if the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) applies to me. I was born in 1947 and I graduated from high school in May 1965. Just a month later, I went to work for a major corporation, with a defined benefit pension plan. I remained with the company until June 1967, when I was drafted. I served on active duty for almost two years, including a year in Vietnam, and I was honorably discharged in May 1969. I immediately applied for reemployment at the company, and I went back to work in June 1969. I remained with the company for six more years, until I resigned in June 1975. I was told that I would qualify for a pension from the company, as of my 65th birthday. I turned 65 recently, and I applied for the pension. The company personnel office told me that I qualify for a very modest pension, based on six years of company service, from June 1969 to June 1975.
