Once in a meeting of the American group when one of the other members disagreed with him, he dashed a glass cup against the wall. On a second such occasion, he threw a glass cup at Jake ROSEN, which caused Rosen to have three stitches in his chin and five in hls biceps •.

    Special Warfare The Professional Bulletin of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School PB 80–04–2 December 2004 Vol. 17, No. 2 From the Commandant Special Warfare With the rise of insurgent activities around the world in countries like Iraq, the United States has a renewed interest in the requirements of conducting counterinsur- gency. Insurgency is not a new phenomenon: Examples of insurgencies can be found throughout history and in various parts of the world. Even today, there are insurgen- cies occurring in Africa, Latin America, Indonesia, Iraq and the Philippines. While each insurgency is different and must be countered in different ways, they all share common characteristics. The foremost of those is the importance of popular support — whether it’s in actual physical support or by lack of interference from the population — to governments besieged by insurgent activity the success of the insurgents. The insurgents in building or rebuilding its infrastructure do not have to convince the populace that and in providing essential services to its peo- they are right, rather they have to convince ple.

  • The Use of Trained Elephants for Emergency Logistics, Off-Road Conveyance, and Political Revolt in South and Southeast Asia
    When Roads Cannot Be Used The Use of Trained Elephants for Emergency Logistics, Off-Road Conveyance, and Political Revolt in South and Southeast Asia Jacob Shell, Temple University Abstract Th is article is about the use of trained Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) for transportation, in particular across muddy or fl ooded terrain, clandestine off - road transportation, and during guerrilla operations or political revolts. In a sense, these are all in fact the same transport task: the terrestrial conveyance of people and supplies when, due to weather or politics or both, roads cannot be used. While much recent work from fi elds such as anthropology, geography, history, and conservation biology discusses the unique relationship between humans and trained elephants, the unique human mobilities opened up by elephant-based transportation has been for the most part overlooked as a re- search topic. Looking at both historical and recent (post–World War II) exam- ples of elephant-based transportation throughout South and Southeast Asia, I suggest here that this mode of transportation has been especially associated with epistemologically less visible processes occurring outside of state-recog- nized, formal institutions. Keywords 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Asian elephants, Kachin confl ict, mahouts, Sepoy Mutiny, smuggling, upland Southeast Asia Introduction Since World War II, transportation by way of trained Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) has been the only mode of transport with which the world’s wealth- iest countries have had virtually no local experience.1 My aim, in this article, is to approach this much overlooked, and imperiled, method of conveyance by focusing on those transport tasks for which—so recent human experience Transfers 5(2), Summer 2015: 62–80 ISSN 2045-4813 (Print) doi: 10.3167/TRANS.2015.050205 ISSN 2045-4821 (Online) When Roads Cannot Be Used suggests—the mode seems to be intrinsically and uniquely useful.

  • Energy Insights Back-To-School Virtual Energy Seminar Finale RBC Capital Markets Hosted the Finale of Its Back-To-School Energy Seminar Yesterday
    RBC Global Equity Team Click here for contributing analysts' contact information September 3, 2020 Energy Insights Back-to-School Virtual Energy Seminar Finale RBC Capital Markets hosted the finale of its Back-to-School Energy Seminar yesterday. The event consisted of a number of panel discussions and fireside chats. Discussions were lively and touched on a broad array of topics, the highlights of which are summarized below, with more detail included within this report. The summary from Day 1 can be found here. EQUITY RESEARCH Thematic Highlights Framing the Global Oil Landscape. Renewables would be the clear winner if Joe Biden is elected in November, though natural gas could receive significant under-the-radar support, as its development assists key climate and foreign policy objectives. Perhaps most consequential for near-term balances if Biden is elected would be an American re-entry into the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal that could bring 1 mb/d+ of Iranian exports back onto the market by 2H 2021. Gulf producers contend that they are well positioned for the looming energy transition, as they have the lowest-cost and greenest barrels. LNG Insights and Perspective. We hosted a conversation with Shell’s Director of Integrated Gas & New Energies, Maarten Wetselaar, which ran through some key takeaways on the current status of the LNG market and longer-term dynamics. We found Shell more bullish on LNG than in our recent conversations, particularly around medium-term gas pricing (2023+). Renewable and Alternative Energy Panel. Algonquin and NextEra emphasized the increasing role of ESG in conversations, from investor dialogue to financing discussions.

  • Deciphering the Landscape of International Humanitarian Law In
    International Review of the Red Cross (2019), 101 (911), 737–770. Children and war doi:10.1017/S1816383120000107 Deciphering the landscape of international humanitarian law in the Asia-Pacific Suzannah Linton* Suzannah Linton is an Adjunct Professor at the School of International Law, China University of Political Science and Law, and a member of the Expert Committee of the International Academy of the Red Cross and Red Crescent at Suzhou University. Abstract The 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Geneva Conventions on 12 August 1949 provided an opportunity for reflection on international humanitarian law (IHL). This article continues that reflection and presents some fresh scholarship about and from the Asia-Pacific region. The region’s plurality leads to a complex and diverse landscape where there is no single “Asia-Pacific perspective on IHL” but there are instead many approaches and trajectories. This fragmented reality is, however, not a mess of incoherence and contradiction. In the following pages, the author argues for and justifies the following assessments. The first is that the norm of humanity in armed conflict, which underpins IHL, has deep roots in the region. This, to some extent, explains why there is no conceptual resistance to IHL, in the way that exists with the human rights doctrine. The second is that there has been meaningful participation of certain States from the region in IHL law-making. Thirdly, some Asia-Pacific States are among those actively contributing to the development of new or emerging areas relevant to IHL, such as outer space, cyberspace and the protection of the environment in armed conflict.

    Soviet America: Popular Responses to the United States in Post-World War II Soviet Union By Copyright 2012 Konstantin Valentinovich Avramov Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Eve Levin ________________________________ Nathaniel D. Wood ________________________________ David Stone ________________________________ Theodore A. Wilson ________________________________ Edith W. Clowes Date Defended: June 15, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Konstantin Valentinovich Avramov certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Soviet America: Popular Responses to the United States in Post-World War II Soviet Union ________________________________ Chairperson Eve Levin Date approved: June 15, 2012 ii ABSTRACT KONSTANTIN AVRAMOV: Soviet America: Popular Responses to the United States in post-World War II Soviet Union In this work, I attempt to explore how average Soviet people reacted to the images and depictions of America presented to them through official and unofficial channels from both sides of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. I argue that average Soviet citizens’ view of America was primarily informed by, and closely followed that of official propaganda. Deprived of any coherent information about America, Soviet citizens fell back on pre-World War II and even pre-Revolutionary views of America as an incredibly rich yet socially unjust country dominated by an insatiable pursuit of money. While these views did not remain static they adjusted to social and political events--the changes remained on the outer layers and did not touch the foundations of ordinary Soviet people’s image of America.
