At the age of eighteen, Robert joined the Coast Guard in Denver, and served in various locations before being stationed in Portland, Maine.

He became an officer of the Local in 1967 and became its president in 1982, serving in that capacity until 2002.

U.S.-Cuba Normalization: U.S. Constituencies for Change
No full textThe United States and Cuba made important strides after the re-launch of diplomatic relations between the two countries under Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro in 2015-2016. These changes were both psychological and symbolic as key themes of mutual respect, sovereignty and reconciliation gained ground. They were also pragmatic, cutting across a wide range of issues from travel and hospitality, which has helped catalyze a major increase in U.S. travelers to the island, to telecommunications and migration. These measures reflected the emergence of an effective coalition of U.S. constituencies that organized individual and joint efforts to regain the advantage over the traditional pro-embargo approach of the Cuban diaspora. With the inauguration of Donald Trump in January 2017, however, forward momentum in bilateral relations has nearly ground to a halt as the hardline Cuban exile community has reasserted primacy in shaping U.S. policy toward the island. Nonetheless, the Republican Party is divided over how far to roll back the changes made by Obama as specific constituencies with the most to gain from normalization defend their interests in continued normalization. The author analyzes the various U.S. stakeholders pushing for relaxation of the embargo and how the Obama administration’s policies benefited them. It will also look at the role of the U.S. Congress and the prospects for rapprochement in the years ahead
Morphological study of the marine algal genus padina (dictyotales, phaeophyceae) from Southern Philippines: 3 species new to Philippines
No full textThis monographic study presents morphological descriptions of eight species of Padina collected from the Visayas and Mindanao regions of southern Philippines, including distributions of each species and a taxonomic key for all the species examined. Of these species, three are new records for the Philippines, namely: P. fernandeziana Skottsberg and Levring, P. jonesii Tsuda and P. moffittiana Abbott and Huisman. One species, P. antillarum (Kuetzing) Piccone, represents a new nomenclatural record, which is applied to a Philippine species for the first time. Four species previously reported in the Philippines are reconfirmed and described P. australis Hauck, P. minor Yamada, P. boryana Thivy and P. sanctae-crucis Boergesen. All eight species studied have distromatic thalli, except for P. antillarum which is tetrastromatic. Three of these have indusiate sporangia, namely: P. sanctae-crucis, P. moffittiana and P. fernandeziana.TR: CS0523677Source type: Electronic(1
La unidad de la filosofía de Heráclito
No full textThe title of this paper refers to two different questions, in a somewhat paradoxical way. What's paradoxical is that, being unity its theme, it bifurcates from the beginning and is offered as a duality. On the one hand, there's unity as a specific theme in Heraclitus discourse. And, on the other hand, there's the internal coherence of thought expressed by the total set of preserved fragments, that is, unity as the congruence of the system with itself. In the first case, unity in Heraclitus philosophy assumes the fact that the one is a prominent content in more than ten textual fragments, susceptible of “monographical” interpretative treatment similar to the one that can be given to some other themes of the author –for example, fire, becoming, man, phusis or logos. The second case, unity of Heraclitus philosophy appears as a global feature in the assembly of the greatest themes in the totality of the fragments. Understood in this way, unity points towards the question for the philosophical and literary structure of the book, the internal logic and the “poetics” of Heraclitus philosophy. Does the Heraclitean concept of the one has something to do with unity (or absence of unity) in his thought and language on a semantic-structural level? In this work we intend to briefly approach to an analysis of both channels, and improve in this terrain in order to riskly give an answer to this question
Piccone e poesia. La cultura dell\u27ottava nel poema d\u27emigrazione di un contadino lucchese
No full textLa Iglesia católica y la independencia del Perú, a la luz de algunas fuentes históricas del Archivo Arzobispal de Lima
No full textAbstract: Within the historical framework of the celebrations for the Bicentennial of the Republic of Peru, this research project seeks to be a contribution to the dialogue on the national historical roots from a plural and interdisciplinary approach. To this end, the author analyses some historical sources that are kept in the Archdiocese of Lima, a privileged place due to the quantity and quality of the files it has stored since 1543. Thus, the primary objective will be to delimit the role of the Church Catholic in political-diplomatic relations both with the Kingdom of Spain and with the different independence movements at the beginning of the 19th century.Dentro del marco histórico de las celebraciones por el Bicentenario de la República del Perú, el presente proyecto de investigación busca ser un aporte al diálogo sobre las raíces históricas nacionales desde un enfoque plural e interdisciplinario. Para este fin, el autor analiza algunas fuentes históricas que se encuentran custodiadas en el Arzobispado de Lima, lugar privilegiado por la cantidad y calidad de los legajos que almacena desde el año 1543. Así pues, el objetivo primario será delimitar el rol de la Iglesia Católica en las relaciones político-diplomáticas tanto con el Reino de España como con los diferentes movimientos independentistas a inicios del siglo XIX
