A brief biography of each of them follows: NAME: JUNE FRANKLIN YEAR INDUCTED: 2018 EDUCATION: Stenography Leeds High School Leeds, England Accounting Remington Accounting Leeds, England CURLING CLUB MEMBERSHIPS: Tunnel Town Curling Club Delta, B.C. 1967 - PRESENT BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: June Firth was born in the city of Leeds, Yorkshire County, England. She emigrated with her family to Rocky Mountain House in Alberta Canada in 1947, but the family returned to England after spending one winter in Canada. June returned to school in Leeds and completed her high school at the age of 16. She took a job with a local company who, in response to her request, agreed to send her for accountant training. When June's father died at a young age, she talked her mother into again emigrating to Canada, but this time to Burnaby BC. However, once again they were homesick for England, and returned after only a few months in Canada. After returning to Leeds in 1957, June obtained a position in the accounting department of sewing machine factory there. She married Ron Franklin, who worked as sewing machine technician, at the same factory, in 1959. They immigrated to Vancouver, Canada in 1965 where Ron started his own business which sold and serviced industrial sewing machines and cutting equipment.

It covers the period from shortly after the intro- duction of anesthesia until modern times. We have attempted to provide an exhaustive compilation of available data, so that a repos- itory of information will exist for future medical historians. We have also attempted to make the book an enjoyable reading experi- ence for the average individual interested in medical history, in part by telling anecdotes about many of the people who had a role in this history. The book is divided into two parts. The first chapters describe the development of anesthesia in Oregon from different perspec- tives. These include the early period, the advent of anesthesiologists and the Oregon Society of Anesthesiology (OSA), the complete development of anesthesia delivered by nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), dental anesthesia, examples of types of anesthesia practice, and a historical perspective of Oregon anesthesiology, including brief biographical sketches of some early pioneers and some of the more influential anesthesiologists in the state.

  • AND the JEWISH EXPERIENCE the Berger Print Collection GALLERY GUIDE
    AND THE JEWISH EXPERIENCE The Berger Print Collection GALLERY GUIDE This exhibition is organized by Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, California. The presentation of this exhibition at Telfair Museums is curated by Courtney McNeil, Chief Curator & Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs. The works in this binder are organized alphabetically by the title of the print. An image of the work precedes the label text. All works are by Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669) unless otherwise noted. All works courtesy of the Collection of Howard and Fran Berger, Gift to the Westmont-Ridley Tree Museum of Art. Abraham and Isaac, 1645 Etching and drypoint on laid paper B.34, I/II (White & Boon only state); H. 214 Rembrandt represents the patriarch and his son just prior to Abraham’s attempt to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham is portrayed as obedient to God’s command, yet in anguish, in contrast to the young Isaac, who accepts his fate. For Christians, this scene is often interpreted as a precursor to the crucifixion of Christ in the New Testament. Within the context of Judaism, this narrative serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God’s will and his divine plan. This etching captures the diverse breadth of style of Rembrandt’s etched line work. His use of drypoint enhances the sense of weighty volume and velvety texture of Abraham’s and Isaac’s garments. Abraham Casting Out Hagar and Ishmael, 1637 Etching and drypoint on laid paper B.30, I/I (White & Boon only state); H. 149 Here, the beloved Jewish-Christian patriarch Abraham reluctantly exiles his first-born son, Ishmael, and the boy’s mother, Hagar.

    QUEENSHIP AND POWER Series Editors: Carole Levin and Charles Beem This series brings together monographs, edited volumes, and textbooks from scholars specializing in gender analysis, women’s studies, literary interpretation, and cultural, political, constitutional, and diplomatic history. It aims to broaden our understanding of the strategies that queens—both consorts and regnants, as well as female regents— pursued in order to wield political power within the structures of male-dominant soci- eties. In addition to works describing European queenship, it also includes books on queenship as it appeared in other parts of the world, such as East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Islamic civilization.

    WORKING PAPER · NO. 2019-120 Queens Oeindrila Dube and S.P. Harish AUGUST 2019 5757 S. University Ave. Chicago, IL 60637 Main: 773.702.5599 bfi.uchicago.edu Queens ∗ Oeindrila Dubey S.P. Harishz University of Chicago and NBER College of William & Mary August 2019 Abstract Do states experience more peace under female leadership? We examine this ques- tion in the context of Europe over the 15th-20th centuries. We instrument queenly rule using gender of the first born and whether the previous monarchs had a sister. We find that polities led by queens participated in war more than polities led by kings. More- over, aggressive participation varied by marital status. Single queens were attacked more than single kings. However, married queens attacked more than married kings. These results suggest that asymmetries in the division of labor positioned married queens to be able to pursue more aggressive war policies.
