J. D. Brannan letter to Warren G. Harding, January 24, 1921
No full textIn this letter dated January 24, 1921 (the author mistakenly writes 1920), J. D. Brannan at Harvard University Law School to President-elect Warren G. Harding in regards to his choices for cabinet appointments. Brannan recommends Senator Elihu Root for Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes for Attorney General, Senator John W. Weeks for Secretary of the Treasury or Secretary of the Navy, and General Leonard Wood for Secretary of War, and includes qualifications for each. After discussing tensions among the government and organized labor leaders, he does not specify an appointment for Secretary of Labor, but includes Herbert Hoover as a qualified candidate.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
Rainha do lar ou reprodutora ideologica
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciencias HumanasO objetivo deste trabalho é perceber a partir de 15 histórias de vida, até que ponto a mulher, duma determinada comunidade, é vítima ou cúmplice do seu cotidiano. Para tal procurou-se perceber se existe alguma opressão no seu trabalho doméstico e na sua condição de mulher na sua própria comunidade, e se esta opressão está de alguma forma ligada a ideologia que ressalta a diferença ?natural? entre homens e mulheres. É, portanto, através dos discursos das entrevistadas que se sugeriu algumas formulações para se colocar o papel da mulher enquanto essencial para mudanças dentro da comunidade

Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II
The industrial nightmare: a study of the evils of industrialism from D. H. Lawrence's : the white peacock to women in love
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoO objetivo do presente estudo é a análise das mudanças sociais e psicológicas surgidas com o advento do industrialismo, tais como elas são vistas por D. H. Lawrence em seus romances "O Pavão Branco", "Filhos e Amantes", "O Arco-Iris" e "Mulheres Apaixonadas". Lawrence via o ?progresso? como um mal necessário que trazia consigo uma grande carga de pressões e exigências, levando os indivíduos a pagar um alto preço pelos seus duvidosos benefícios. Partindo do primeiro livro analisado aqui, "O Pavão Branco", Lawrence mostra uma sociedade rural que vai pouco a pouco se industrializando e perdendo em qualidade, com o progresso. No último livro estudado nesta dissertação, "Mulheres Apaixonadas", Lawrence apresenta um universo caótico onde alguns personagens se encontram irremediavelmente perdidos, enquanto outros tentam encontrar uma nova forma de vida através de caminhos nunca antes experimentados. Analisando as principais causas que levaram Lawrence a odiar tão profundamente a sociedade industrial, eu tento mostrar a influência que o meio em que ele nasceu e viveu teve em sua obra. O contraste entre o país que ele conheceu em sua infância e a sociedade industrial na qual ele viveu sua vida adulta, muito influenciou sua visão do mundo. Através das idéias sociais de Lawrence algumas inaceitáveis para o senso comum, outras dolorosamente verdadeiras mesmo hoje é possível encontrar um homem extremamente contraditório: Lawrence era, antes de tudo, um homem que acreditava na capacidade humana de regeneração; como a fênix, seu próprio símbolo, ele acreditava que o homem era capaz de renascer das cinzas, cheio de vigor, para viver um outro ciclo de vida

Earl Warren ::a life of truth and justice /
No full text"The definitive biography of one of history's greatest Supreme Court justices. How did a conservative Republican end up creating the most liberal Supreme Court in modern history? This new biography of Earl Warren Sr., based on primary sources and previously unpublished material, brings together for the first time family recollections, anecdotes, mementos, photos, documents, and excerpts from diaries, along with the facts of the great jurist's life. The result is the most accurate, up-to-date, and complete picture of the man available. Beginning with Warren's upbringing, and Scandinavian immigrant parents who taught him fairness, tolerance, and reverence for the truth, the author then reviews Warren's early career in California as a district attorney. There he helped put an end to corruption in the police department, tackled organized crime, and worked to end illegal gambling and offshore racketeering. After becoming governor, he fought to improve the state's public health, education, and prison systems. And he played an important role in the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower as the first Republican president in twenty years. Focusing largely on Warren's remarkable career as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, chapters are devoted to that court's landmark rulings, including Brown v. Board of Education and Miranda. In addition, the author discusses Warren's relationships with Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Finally, he delves into the Chief Justice's role in spearheading the Warren Report, the official publication documenting the investigation of President Kennedy's assassination--findings that forever etched Warren's name in history.

The history of the commonwealth and continental church society
No full textThis thesis traces the origins and development of the Commonwealth and Continental Church Society throughout the world. It is a product of the Anglican Evangelical missionary enthusiasm of the early nineteenth century. It began as an educational organization but became a general missionary movement among our own people abroad. The nineteenth century saw the settlement and growth of Britain's colonial Empire and the significance of the Society lies in its efforts to send chaplains, lay-readers and teachers to spiritually‘destitute' British people, whether residents or travellers, in the Colonies or on the Continent of Europe - wherever they called for help. The work of the Society is set in its historical and theological background including the influences prior to 1823 (when it was founded) which led to the establishment of the two parent Societies. There follows a survey of the main movements, personalities and problems; and then, in chapter 6, there is a discussion of the key problems, an evaluation of the contribution of the Society to the expansion and life of the Church and a suggestion of its role as an Evangelical Society during the latter part of the twentieth century. Supplementary material, placed in the Appendices, includes a survey of movements from 1951-71; the Home Organization; the Constitutions and subsequent changes; a list of Bishops given to the Church by the Society; the relations of the Society to other Societies and Churches and a list of the Bishops holding the Bishop of London's permanent commission for northern Europe, Footnotes are included at the ends of chapters; references will be found at the back between pages 193-237
Macchina Astratta di Warren e compilatore Prolog
No full textLa disponibilità del primo compilatore Prolog, realizzato da David H. D. Warren nel 1977, incrementò la diffusione del linguaggio proponendolo come un efficace strumento di programmazione per classi di applicazioni in cui i linguaggi tradizionali si erano rivelati inadeguati. Nel 1983, lo stesso Warren definì un modello di macchina astratta (Warren Abstract Machine - WAM) che è diventata di fatto uno standard nello sviluppo di macchine astratte e compilatori per il linguaggio Prolog. Come per altri linguaggi, lo scopo della compilazione è quello di estrarre tutta l'informazione possibile prima dell'esecuzione in modo da ottimizzare il tempo di esecuzione di un programma. Nel caso del linguaggio Prolog, la compilazione scompone l'unificazione in una sequenza di operazioni elementari con le quali sono possibili molte ottimizzazioni, individua le situazioni particolari che possono richiedere una soluzione ottimizzata (per le variabili temporanee, per la prima occorrenza di una variabile, ecc.) e traduce il codice cercando di rinviare il più possibile l'esecuzione di certe operazioni che potrebbero risultare inutilii a causa del fallimento di operazioni successive

Yecora, Hwy. 16, km. 261, barranca at W end of Mesa Campanero [48 km east of Tepoca] at an elevation of 1600m. Etymology. We take great pleasure in naming this species in honor of Jim and Joan Brock of Tucson, Arizona. Jim brought the existence of this species to the attention of the late Stephen R. Steinhauser, who had planned to name it after him, and Jim has been present during essentially all known encounters with this taxon in Sonora. Joan, a professional author in her own right, has unselfishly supported numerous lepidopterists with generous hospitality during their visits to Tucson. Distribution and phenology. To date, Onespa brockorum is known only from Sonora and Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico. Adults have been found from late April through August in canyons at about 1600m elevation in Sonora, and the specimens from Sinaloa were taken between 1820 and 1970m. As noted above under O. gala, records of Onespa gala from Sinaloa (Stanford and Opler 1993) refer to this species; while the details of the record of O. gala plotted from the state of Durango by Stanford and Opler (1993) are unknown; Onespa from Durango are most likely to represent O. brockorum. Biological notes. Various grasses (Poaceae) occur at the type locality of O. brockorum, one of which likely represents the larval foodplant; no Chusquea was observed (ADW, pers. obs.). Males guard perches on tips of vegetation 0.5 to 3 m above the ground, at least from 10:30 to 15:40 h., in riparian corridors and other sunny areas within pine-oak forest. Diagnosis and discussion. Onespa brockorum is very similar to O. gala and has historically been identified as such. The former is more brightly colored than O. gala and the macules are broader and more orange. The ventral hindwing of O. brockorum has an orange-brown aspect unlike the olive-brown venter of O. gala. Male genitalia of O. brockorum have a less robust uncus than O. gala, a shorter tegumen and saccus, a more pointed caudal end of the valva, and a heavily sclerotized small spike in the vesica in addition to the robust one. Females have narrower and less rounded lamellae, a lamella antevaginalis that is less excavate caudad, and a ductus bursae that is more convoluted cephalad.Published as part of Austin, George T. & Warren, Andrew D., 2009, New looks at and for Onespa, Buzyges, and Librita (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae), with new combinations and descriptions of a new genus and six new species, pp. 1-55 in Insecta Mundi 2009 (89) on pages 10-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.516772
