The Foreign Service Journal, January 1945 g/,c AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL JANUARY 1945 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGEf The popularity of American products in many world markets may at least in part be attributed to the wholehearted cooperation of America’s diplomatic and consular representatives abroad. This reflects not only conscious effort on their part, but the great power of their example. Schenley appreciates your patronage of its products—not merely because your prestige impresses our foreign prospects and customers and means better business for us, but also because we are genuinely proud to serve the distinguished group of men and women to which you belong. We would like to call your particular attention to Schenley Reserve —a true American whiskey of the finest quality.

  • Conde Mccullough
    Conde McCullough Conde Balcom McCullough (May 30, 1887 – May 5, 1946) Conde McCullough was a U.S. bridge engineer who is primarily known for designing many of Oregon's coastal bridges on U.S. Route 101.[1] The native of South Dakota worked for the Oregon Department of Transportation from 1919 to 1935 and 1937 until 1946. McCullough also was a professor at Oregon State University.

His designs are well known for their architectural beauty.[4] McCullough advocated that bridges be built economically, efficiently, and with beauty.[1] He helped design over 600 bridges, many with architectural details such as Gothic spires, art deco obelisks, and Romanesque arches incorporated into the bridges.[5] In 1928, he graduated from Willamette University College of Law and passed the bar the same year.[6] In 1935 he moved to San José, Costa Rica to help design bridges on the Pan-American Highway.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

  • Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance APRIL 25, 2018 April 25, 2018
    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance APRIL 25, 2018 April 25, 2018 ATTN: Dale Robins Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC) 1300 Franklin Street, 4th Floor Vancouver, Washington 98660 Re: Response to RFP Consultant Services for Hood River Bridge Replacement Environmental Studies, Design and Permit Assistance Dear Mr. Dale Robins and Selection Committee, For nearly 95 years, travelers have crossed the Columbia River using the Hood River Bridge, which connects Hood River, Oregon and the communities of White Salmon and Bingen in Washington state. While the travelers are diverse - farmer, hiker, trucker, tugboat operator, windsurfer - their need is the same: a safe, reliable connection between Oregon and Washington. Today, the Hood River Bridge is failing to meet modern transportation demands: deteriorating bridge members, combined with dimensional and weight restrictions for trucks, hamper the structure’s effectiveness and, quite possibly, the regional economy. The replacement of the bridge is a critical transportation improvement needed to support the interstate travel of motorized vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, and marine freight transport, which have significant local and regional economic and quality of life benefits. In 1999, a campaign to replace the existing bridge began, which then culminated into the 2003 Draft EIS, which was completed by Parsons Brinkerhoff now WSP. Following the Draft EIS, the firm conducted a Bridge TS&L study. From
