The East German regime provided extensive military assistance to developing countries and armed guerrilla movements in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. In the 1980s, the pro-Soviet Marxist government in Nicaragua was one of the major recipients of East German military assistance. This article focuses on contacts at the level of the ministries of defense, on Nicaraguan requests to the East German military command, and on political and military decision-making processes in East Germany. The article examines the provision of weaponry and training as well as other forms of cooperation and support. Research for the article was conducted in the formerly closed archives of the East German Ministry for National Defense regarding military supplies to the Third World as well as the voluminous declassified files of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (the ruling Communist party).

Abstract This article explores the dynamic intersection of community, conflict, and personal faith among a small group of Pentecostals during Chile’s military dictatorship (1973–1990). It argues that Pentecostal religious experience did not occur only within the framework of prescribed religious traditions and dogma. It seeped deep into the shadows of a powerful military state bent on a radical reordering of the economy and society; one that was willing to reach unthinkable levels of violence to do so. It concludes that we must examine less emblematic manifestations of pentecostal religiosity to fully understand the forms religion and religious practice took as they were folded into the limitations and complications of quotidian life, recognizing, moreover, that devotional and practical improvisations were not always understood as impious or immoral lapses. They were often necessary religious innovations used by believers to find meaning in the difficult circumstances of life under military rule.

This Essay Provides a critical assessment of the system of military justice established in Austria by the American occupation authorities. It places military justice and its function in the wider context of U.S. occupation policy as it developed from total control to increasingly milder forms of tutelage under the impact of the Cold War and increasing Austrian self-assertion. The essay is based on the hitherto largely untapped files contained in seventy-five boxes of the Legal Division of the U.S. Military Government in Austria, collected in two visits in 1990 and 1991 to the National Archives in Suitland, Maryland.

Despite its dependence on military investment, large segments of the Sunbelt have always expressed ambivalence toward military housing. From 1941 to 1973, real estate interests served as the primary resistance to the construction of military housing; however, during the 1970s, due to economic changes, tax revolts, New Right fiscal and social policies, and the transformation to the all-volunteer force (AVF), opposition to military housing transferred from real estate interests to homeowners. From 1979 to 1990, the Navy’s attempt to construct military family housing in San Diego encountered angry homeowners who resented the tax exempt status of housing and accused military households of overburdening school infrastructure, reducing property values, and spreading social dysfunction. Demographic changes resulting from the AVF yielded more families and greater ethnic and racial diversity, which failed to align with suburban norms and thereby marginalized service households socially and politically.

On 3 October 1990, the National People's Army (NVA) of the German Democratic Republic, in which about 2.5 million East German citizens served their country, was dissolved. Its personnel either was removed from military service, placed into early retirement, or integrated into the Bundeswehr after a two-year selection and examination process. Since then, the NVA has turned into an object of history with no immediate significance for contemporary German society—despite efforts of former NVA officers to change the official interpretation of 1989-1990. This article examines the processes of remembering and forgetting with regard to East Germany's military heritage since 1990, contrasting the Bundeswehr's politics of memory and “army of unity” ethos not only with the former NVA soldiers' vision of the past, but also with the East German population's general attitude towards their former armed forces.

Full textAbstract:
Height at young and adult ages reflects the cumulative nutritional experience of the individual both during the growth years and during the fetal period. Hence, mean height in a population is not only an indicator of economic fortune but also a predictor of morbidity and mortality (Waaler 1984; Barker et al. 1990; Fogel, Haines, et al. 1991; Costa 1993). Economic historians have been able to use time series of heights to describe trends in economic well-being and in mortality (Fogel, Engerman, and Trussell 1982; Margo and Steckel 1982; Fogel 1986; Brinkman et al. 1988; Floud et al. 1990). Cross-sectional analyses of the determinants of heights have provided clues to changes in morbidity and mortality trends. Investigations of heights have taken advantage of the significant quantities of military records that are available. The data obtained from military muster rolls for the United States consist of name, age, height, occupation, place and date of enlistment, and place of birth.

Thesis (PhD) -- Universiteit van Stellenbosch, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African Military Academy was established on 1 April 1950 with a view to placing
candidate officer training in the Union Defence Force on par with standards abroad and at
the same time to elevating it to the level of a university degree. In addition, the Minister of
Defence, F.C. Erasmus, wanted to use the Academy as an instrument enabling Afrikaners
to take up their rightful place alongside English-speaking citizens in the officer corps. In so
doing, he hoped, eventually, to replace the predominant British character of the Union
Defence Force with a unique South African, and more particularly an Afrikaner, character.
Despite strong resistance to change from within the officer corps, motivated by political
sentiment and more so by opposition to the novel idea of degree studies for officers, the
Academy developed into a viable training institution. Broadly based on the training systems
of Sandhurst and West Point, and following the example of the Indian National Defence
Academy, the Military Academy became a joint training institution for all four arms of the
service. Yet financial constraints, a lack of suitable candidates, as well as the conflicting
sentiments and training needs of the arms of the service, prevented the formative training of
all candidate officers from being assigned to the Academy.
The absence of formative training, together with the admittance of junior officers, instead of
solely candidate officers, resulted in the Academy gaining the character of a military
university rather than a traditional military academy. The Academy was deprived of a
distinct function in the overall officers' development system, which put its survival in the
balance and triggered a series of investigations into its role and function. The opposing
subcultures that developed between the Dean and the Faculty of Military Science on the
one hand, and the Officer Commanding and the Military Training Branch on the other,
formed part of the debate. Also in dispute, was the location of the Academy at Saldanha,
rather than in the military heart-land in Pretoria. By interpreting the academic training
needs of the Defence Force correctly and positioning itself accordingly, the Academy
survived that crisis. Thereafter, the Academy time and again adapted to the changing
military and socio-political environment and strove towards ever increasing relevance to the
Defence Force. In this way female and non-European students were admitted to the
Military Academy, whilst the way was also paved for the admittance of students from other
African states. In anticipation of the new political dispensation in South Africa, a concerted
effort was launched in 1990 to make the student body more representative of the South
Africa population in terms of race and sex. The Military Academy has through the years established itself as a credible militaryacademic
institution and has made a significant contribution towards military
professionalism in South Africa. By 1990 it favourably positioned itself to continue that role
in future. Though forming only a small percentage of the total officer corps, the Academy
graduates have gradually been distributed at all levels of the officer corps and have
dominated the top posts in the SA Defence Force since the early 1970's. They were
consequently well placed in 1990 to playa significant role in preparing the Defence Force
for the so-called "New South Africa".<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Militêre Akademie is op 1 April 1950 gestig met die doelom die militêrakademiese
. opleiding van kandidaatoffisiere hier te lande op dieselfde peil as in die
buiteland te bring en dit terselfdertyd tot universiteitsvlak te verhef. Die Minister van
Verdediging, F.e. Erasmus, wou egter ook die Akademie gebruik as instrument om die
Afrikaner sy regmatige plek, naas Engelssprekendes, in die offisierskorps te laat inneem en
sodoende die oorwegend Britse karakter van die Unieverdedigingsmag met 'n eie, Suid-
Afrikaanse karakter, en meer bepaald 'n Afrikaner-karakter, te vervang. Ondanks sterk
weerstand teen verandering vanuit die offisierskorps, hetsy vanweë politieke sentimente, of,
meer bepaald, teenkanting teen die idee van graadstudie vir offisiere, het die Akademie tot
'n lewensvatbare opleidingsinrigting ontwikkel. Breedweg geskoei op die opleidingsmodelle
van Sand hurst en West Point, het die Militêre Akademie, na die voorbeeld van die Indiese
National Defence Academy, 'n gesamentlike opleidingsinrigting vir al vier weermagsdele
geword. Finansiële beperkings, 'n gebrek aan geskikte kandidate, asook die botsende
opleidingsbehoeftes en sentimente van die onderskeie weermagsdele, het egter verhoed
dat die vormingsopleiding van alle kandidaatoffisiere, met die uitsondering van die vroeë
sewentigerjare, aan die Akademie toevertrou is.
Die afwesigheid van vormingsopleiding, tesame met die toelating van junior offisiere, in
stede van kandidaatoffisiere alleen, het daartoe gelei dat die Akademie mettertyd die
karakter van 'n militêre universiteit, eerder as 'n tradisionele militêre akademie, aangeneem
het. Die Akademie is in dié proses 'n duidelike rol in die totale offisiersontwikkelingsproses
ontneem, wat sy voortbestaan ernstig in die weegskaal geplaas het en tot verskeie
ondersoeke na sy rol en funksie gelei het. Deel van die debat, was die botsende subkulture
wat deur die jare tussen die Dekaan en die Fakulteit Krygskunde aan die een kant, en die
Bevelvoerder en die Tak Militêre Opleiding aan die ander kant, ontstaan het, asook die
moontlike verskuiwing van die Akademie van Saldanha na die militêre hartland in Pretoria.
Deur die akademiese opleidingsbehoeftes van die Weermag korrek te vertolk en hom
dienooreenkomstig te posisioneer, het die Akademie egter dié krisis afgeweer. Hy het
daarna telkens by die veranderende militêre en sosio-politieke omstandighede aangepas en
immer groter diensbaarheid in die militêr-akademiese milieu nagestreef. Só het dames en
anderskleuriges mettertyd hul pad na die Akademie gevind en is die weg ook vir die
toelating van studente uit ander Afrikastate gebaan. In 1990, in afwagting van die nuwe
politieke bedeling in Suid-Afrika, het die Akademie 'n doelgerigte poging van stapel gestuur om die studentekorps meer verteenwoordigend van die bevolkingsamestelling ten opsigte
van ras en geslag te maak.
Die Militêre Akademie het hom deur die jare as 'n geloofwaardige militêr-akademiese
instelling gevestig en 'n betekenisvolle bydrae tot militêre professionalisme in Suid-Afrika
gelewer. Teen 1990 was hy reeds besig om hom gunstig te posisioneer om ook in die
toekoms dié rol te kon speel. Hoewel 'n klein persentasie van die totale offisiersterkte, het
die Akademie-graduandi geleidelik alle vlakke van die offisierskorps deurspek en sedert die
vroeg-sewentigerjare die topposte in die SA Weermag gedomineer. Teen 1990 was hulle
dus goed geplaas om 'n betekenisvolle rol in die voorbereiding van die Weermag vir die
sogenaamde "Nuwe Suid-Afrika" te speel.

Au travers de l’étude du renseignement aérien en France de 1945 à 1994, il s’agit de replacer l’emploi de cet outil décisionnel sur une échelle de temps longue afin d’en comprendre sa perception chez les décideurs français. Pour analyser les évolutions du renseignement aérien, nous avons comparé les expériences opérationnelles avec les corpus doctrinaux et les innovations technologiques du système de collecte. Notre étude s’est appesantie sur les implications tactiques, stratégiques et politiques de notre objet d’étude pour expliciter les différentes dimensions de ses perceptions d’emploi. Afin de mieux comprendre ces facteurs évolutifs dans le contexte français, nous avons également introduit des points comparatifs avec les Etats-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne. C’est également un moyen d’entrevoir l’influence de facteurs étrangers sur les évolutions d’emploi et de perceptions du renseignement aériens français, tout en précisant les spécificités françaises. Entre la mission de collecte, défini comme la reconnaissance et l’ensemble du renseignement aérien, la question qui se pose est de savoir ce qui doit être compris comme objet focalisant la perception du décideur militaire ou politique. Le renseignement aérien peut-il être compris, en France, comme un service de renseignement à part entière ou juste comme un système de collecte au service d’un acteur décisionnel ? L’autre question est de savoir comment les différentes évolutions qui ont touché notre objet d’étude ont influencé ses perceptions d’emploi. Au-delà de ces problématiques, celle du rapport entre l’image et le décideur, spécifique au renseignement aérien, influence t-elle également sa perspective d’utilisation ?<br>Through the study of the Aerial Intelligence in France from 1945 to 1994, is to replace the use of this decision making tool on a long time scale to understand his perception among French policymakers. To analyze the evolution of Aerial Intelligence, we compared operational experiences with the doctrinal corpus and technological innovations of the collection system. We worked on tactical, strategic and political implications of our object of study to clarify the various aspects of his job perceptions. To better understand these evolutionary factors in the French context, we also introduced comparative points with the United States and Britain. It's also a way to perceive the influence of foreign factors on the using developments and perceptions of French aerial intelligence, but while specifying the French specificities. Between the collecting mission, defined as the reconnaissance and the entire Aerial Intelligence, the question arises is to know what is understood like the object to the perception of military or political decision maker. The Aerial Intelligence can it be understood in France as a separate intelligence service or just as a collection system at the service of decision-actor? The other question is how the various developments that have affected our object of study have influenced his using perceptions. Beyond these issues, the relationship between the image and the decision maker, specific to Aerial Intelligence, influences also its perspective of use?

O sistema escolar brasileiro sofreu profundas modificações com o advento da ditadura civil-militar implantada com o golpe de 1964: reformaram-se todos os níveis de ensino, sobretudo os anos iniciais, que tiveram o curso primário unificado com o ginásio, em uma nova sequência que passou a se denominar 1º Grau. Na escola pública paulista tais mudanças ensejaram a junção dos dois cursos nos mesmos prédios escolares e uma reforma curricular que adequasse os conteúdos e métodos às novas exigências. Uma destas foi a extinção das disciplinas de História e Geografia, entre a 1ª e a 8ª séries e sua substituição por Estudos Sociais. Este trabalho parte da apresentação deste novo panorama na educação nacional, discute a implantação destas medidas em São Paulo e as consequências disto. Analisa-se, ainda, os novos currículos implantados, que ficaram conhecidos como Verdão, e os subsídios a estes, publicados posteriormente. Este percurso tem como finalidade chegar ao ponto central do texto que é a análise de sete docentes de História da rede pública estadual paulista, cuja atuação se deu entre os anos de 1970 e 1990. As reflexões se dão em torno da graduação, da carreira e da atuação dos professores em sala de aula. Privilegia-se a construção e os desafios da carreira, a vivência da docência sob a ditadura e as diferentes estratégias usadas em sala de aula, que incluem as formas de discussão dos conteúdos, a relação com os livros didáticos e as formas de atuação. Busca-se, com isto, contribuir para um maior entendimento do que é a cultura escolar do período analisado.<br>The Brazilian school system passed by deep changes after the advent of civil-military dictatorship established in 1964: all education levels was reformed, especially primary school, since then called 1st Degree. In São Paulo these changes gave rise to a new organization of the public school and a preparation of a new curriculum according to new demands. One of this was the extinction of History and Geography at 1st Degree, replaced by a new discipline called Social Studies. This work presents that new scene of national educational system and discusses the implementation of its guidelines in São Paulo and the curriculum then established, known as Verdão, as well its subsidies later published. This perspective aims to reach the texts central point: an analysis of the memories of seven History teachers who worked in São Paulo public schools between 1970 and 1990. So, the discussion revolves around these teachers formation, their career and classroom actuation, focusing career development and its challenges, the experience of teaching under dictatorship and their several professional practices, that includes discussion of the matters, relationship with textbooks and evaluation strategies. The intent is contribute to a better comprehension of what is the scholar culture during the analyzed period.

Cette thèse se propose d'étudier le programme d'assistance militaire des États-Unis au Chili entre 1940 et 1970.

Est également examinée la question de la réception de cette influence par le Chili : dans quelle mesure ces transferts culturels sont-ils acceptés, rejetés, réappropriés dans les contextes nationaux, mis en concurrence avec ceux d'autres pays ? Enfin, pour rendre compte de la complexité des processus de décision, un accent particulier est mis sur les jeux d’acteurs à la fois au sein de la bureaucratie des départements impliqués dans la gestion du programme, et entre les protagonistes états-uniens et chiliens sur le terrain<br>This research examines the U.S. military assistance program in Chile from 1940 to 1970.

Through the Chilean example, it highlights the will of the United States to standardize, continent-wide, doctrines, practices, and equipment according to the model promoted by Washington. The question of the reception of this influence by Chile is also examined: to what extent are these cultural transfers accepted, rejected, re-appropriated in national contexts, put in competition with those of other countries?

Full textAbstract:
Inserida na linha de pesquisa Política e Cultura, esta tese entende a Religião como um poder simbólico e como um fenômeno que penetrando a política e a cultura de um povo, de uma nação, estabelece valores, interfere na elaboração das normas jurídicas, estabelece e resignifica os costumes e as tradições. Através de vasta documentação afirmamos que a Igreja Católica no Brasil se manteve ligada ao Estado e interferiu na vida política e cultural do país até os anos de 1970. Neste período a Igreja manteve uma postura de combate ao socialismo e às esquerdas que se manteve posteriormente, porém, a Teologia da Libertação se desenvolveu tomando os conceitos marxistas e as Ciências Políticas como fundamento para suas análises. A ruptura das relações entre a Igreja e o Estado no Brasil nos anos de 1970 e o desenvolvimento da Teologia da Libertação são analisados a partir do pensamento de Antonio Gramsci, considerando a Igreja Sociedade Civil. O rompimento da hegemonia da Igreja Católica em relação ao Estado efetivou a organização das pastorais e movimentos de base em busca do estabelecimento de uma nova ordem política e assim o estabelecimento de uma nova hegemonia da Igreja no Brasil dos anos de 1990.<br>Integrating the research field of Politics and Culture, this thesis considers Religion as a symbolic power and as a phenomenon that permeates the politics and culture of a nation, establishes values, intervenes in the elaboration of juridical norms, determines and gives new meanings to customs and traditions. By means of an extensive documentation, this thesis states that the Catholic Church in Brazil has remained associated with the State and interfered in the countrys political and cultural life until the 1970s. In this period and afterwards the attitude of the Church was to combat socialism and the leftists. Nevertheless, the Liberation Theology developed taking Marxist concepts and Political Sciences as its basis. The rupture of relations between the Church and the State in the 1970 together with the development of the Liberation Theology are analyzed in accordance with Antonio Gramscis ideas, considering the Church as a civil society. In the 1990s, the disruption of the hegemony of Catholic Church towards the State propitiated the organization of popular and pastoral movements that tried to establish a new political order and a new hegemony for the Catholic Church in Brazil.

Full textAbstract:
British estimates of Soviet seapower from 1930 to 1950 covered three main phases. These were primarily characterised by pre-war suspicion of Communism and the Soviet Union, enforced wartime naval cooperation from June 1941 until the end of the Second World War and, finally, a shift towards Cold War antagonism.It is argued that the Admiralty's Naval Intelligence Division was able to collect sufficient data to maintain a credible intelligence picture of the Soviet Navy's order of battle and war-fighting capabilities, thereby allowing informed decision-making in London. In general, the United Kingdom considered that the Red Navy was poorly equipped and trained, and that it posed little threat to British interests. This was borne out by the Soviet Union's poor employment of seapower during the war.Knowledge of the Soviet Navy was always difficult to obtain. However, a major finding of this thesis is that the wartime Anglo-Soviet alliance allowed British naval representativesin the USSR unprecedented access to Russian warships, facilities and commanders. Though the basing of a naval mission in Russia was principally intended to assist in the common fight against Nazi Germany and to promote liaison between the Royal and Soviet Navies, especially with regard to the Arctic convoys, the British also took the opportunity to examine the maritime forces of their long-standing Communist rival at close quarters. It is contended, therefore, that improved intelligence on the Soviet Navy was made possible by wartime naval collaboration. To examine this assertion, relevant naval aspects of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 are covered in detail in the thesis.After 1945, the Red fleets required some time for consolidation before expansion was possible. The Soviet Navy remained an intelligence target, but British wartime assessments largely held good to the end of the decade.

Full textAbstract:
The military marching band is an imposing but also prestigious artistic present in the national and international musical landscape. Having a rich and old tradition, it continues to play an important role in the cultural life, asserting itself as a mechanism for promoting national and universal musical heritage and as an effective means of ethical and aesthetic education of the military and the general public. Often, famous works from the universal repertoire are more easily assimilated by the average spectator through fanfares. In this article, we will refer to some aspects of the history of the phenomenon. After 1990, with the postponement of the independence of the Republic of Moldova, military structures, internal affairs bodies, institutions for training specialists in the field, such as the Police Academy, etc. are created. As a result, military band orchestras are established and invigorated. One of them, which enjoys success and shows high professionalism, is the Band Orchestra of the General Inspectorate of Carabineers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Abstract Reclaiming public space at Oakland's Arroyo Public Park, a nexus of crime and illegal activities. A coalition of neighbors invited local performing artists to help animate city agencies, inspire repair of the amphitheater and create daytime performances in the summer, mostly by children. It gave voice to and represented many people. Reclaiming space for community was the impetus, structured curriculum activates were means. Safe public space and learning were two inseparable goals. Conciliation learning through specific responses, example: Crisis Of Perseverance acute among children and youth lacking role models or witnessing success through perseverance. Artists of all types are the embodiment of achievable mastery and completion. Taking place on redefined historic 1940 passenger-cargo/military ship for public peacetime use and as a cultural space. Mixt generations after and outside school programs: Children and Architecture project’s intention was to integrate children’s internal wisdom of playing with learning about the world of architecture (environment and co-habitability) as starting point was an intergenerational setting: 5-12 olds + parents and volunteers, twice weekly from 1989 to 1995 at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland, California. Concluding Examples Public celebration and engagements as inadvertent conciliations if prepared for before hand. Biographical sketch: Slobodan Dan Paich native of former Yugoslavia was born 1945. He lived in England from 1967 to 1985. Slobodan taught the History of Art and Ideas, Design and Art Studio from 1969 through 1985 at various institutions in London, including North-East London Polytechnic, Thames Polytechnic and Richmond College-American University in London. Between 1986 to1992, he taught at the University of California at Berkeley. With a number of scholars, artists, and community leaders, he founded the Artship Foundation in 1992, and has been its Executive Director ever since.

Full textAbstract:
With an overall company lifespan of only four years, Vertol Aircraft Corporation continued the tandem-rotor helicopter legacy of its predecessor, Piasecki Helicopter Corp., as well as research, development and testing of other V/STOL aircraft and technologies while concurrently designing two medium-lift transport helicopters that are still in worldwide use and/or production today. During this short timeframe, the company finalized production and deliveries of the H-21C Shawnee/V-44 for the US Army and international customers. The company designed and flew the world’s first tilt-wing VTOL, the NACA/Army/Navy/Vertol VZ-2A. Application of T53 and T58 turbine powerplants led to twin-turbine engine trials and flight tests with experimental H-21 variants. With Vertol’s in-theater customer support, the French Army and Navy introduced the H-21 into combat in Algeria which included the early use of armed, troop-carrying helicopters. The design, test and successful US and worldwide demonstrations of the privately-funded Vertol 107 led to development and certification of the 107-II airliner version and follow-on military transports as the Boeing H-46 Sea Knight. The contract to design and build the YHC-1B was won by Vertol in 1959 and led to the enduring Boeing H-47 Chinook.

Full textAbstract:
In 2021, the military paratroopers celebrated 80 years of existence, since their establishment as a specialty, within the Romanian Aeronautics, later as a distinct weapon and generating, in turn, new military specialties, so necessary for an army that wants to be modern and performant. This specialty, established in the Romanian army at the beginning of the Second World War, was an attempt to respond and align with the needs and, why not, the modernity of the time. Passed through the fire of August 1944, disbanded immediately after the war and reborn from its own ashes in 1950, it managed, despite many hardships and sacrifices, some particularly painful, to impose itself as an elite weapon in the panoply of a modern Romanian army. Side by side with the military aviators, who always supported them with aircraft and aerodrome infrastructure, the paratroopers wrote history for Romania.

Full textAbstract:
Back in history, propulsion integration into an aircraft was mainly related to physical aspects requiring only a low degree of sophistication. Today propulsion integration has become a major task split between airframe and engine engineers. It now includes performance, functional and physical aspects all needing to be integrated to meet specific requirements. The aircraft and engine configurations are therefore optionised simultaneously at a very early stage of development. Some of the major interfaces influencing configuration, performance and operability will be discussed, ie. Intake/Engine/Afterbody; Electronic Controls Integration including monitoring; Performance optimisation; Systems; Installation.

Full textAbstract:
The „Black Plague” pandemic (1347–1351) was a biological and epidemiological phenomenon. The term „red plague” was first used by F. Reinhardt in his work „Die Rote Pest” (1930). The „Red Plague” is a plague of Bolshevik / communist ideological, political and military fanaticism, installed in October 1917 in Russia and later spread to several countries. The origin of these two plagues is totally different; at the same time, there are multiple affinities of imagological, symbolic, ethnological, demographic, demonological and semiotic type between them. The medieval plague appeared simultaneously with Death, Hunger and War, respectively, the communist regimes, associated with the „red plague”, are guilty of mass extermination of tens and even hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The “red plague” has far outweighed its disastrous impact on any plague or pandemic in human history.

Abstract Throughout history there have been a variety of accuracy measures applied to the act of throwing, hurling, launching and/or firing of objects. These include string measure, mean radius, extreme spread, closest to center, probability of hit and score. There are two objectives of the present contribution. The first is expository in nature, to describe the use and relative merits of these measures. Historical data will be examined to estimate the accuracies of such weapons as the trebuchet (a technologically advanced form of a catapult), longbow, smooth bore rifle, “Kentucky” muzzleloading rifle, early breech loading rifle and turn of the century schuetzen rifle. Data related to modern military and sporting firearms will also be discussed. The second objective is to illustrate the use of such measures by evaluating actual data from firings of a scale model of a trebuchet. The model was designed using computer simulations and optimization techniques developed by others.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia marked a new era, known as the Reformation Era, in 1998 after the downfall of Suharto, the main face of the regime called the New Order (Orde Baru) and ran the government from 1966 to 1998. This long-run government creates certain structures in many sectors, including the museum sector in Indonesia. Suharto leads the government in a totalitarian manner, his power control over many layers, including the use of museums as regime propaganda tools. The propaganda in the museums such as a standardized storyline, the use of historical versions that are approved by the government, and the representation of violence through the military tale with the nation’s great enemy is made for the majority of museums from the west to east Indonesia at that time. Thus, after almost two-decade after the downfall of the New Order regime how Indonesian museum transform into this new era? In the new democratic era, museum management is brought back to the regional government. The museums are encouraged to writing the local history and deconstruct the storyline from the previous regime. Not only just stop there, but there are alsomany new museums open to the public with new concepts or storylines to revive the audience. Even, the new museum was also erected by the late president’s family to rewrite the narration of the hero story of Suharto in Yogyakarta. This article aims to look up the change in the Indonesian museum post-New Order regime. How they adjust curatorial narration to present the storyline, is there any change to re-write the new narrative, or they actually still represent the New-Order idea along with the violence symbolic that never will deconstruct. Indonesia menandai masa baru yang dikenal sebagai masa reformasi pada tahun 1998 dengan tumbangnya Soeharto yang menjadi wajah utama rezim yang dikenal dengan sebutan Orde Baru ini. Pemerintahan Orde Baru telah berlangsung sejak tahun 1966 hingga 1998 yang mengubah banyak tatanan kehidupan, termasuk sektor permuseum di Indonesia. Corak pemerintahan Orde Baru yang condong pada kontrol dan totalitarian mengantarkan museum sebagai kendaraan propaganda rezim Soeharto. Dimulai dari narasi storyline yang seragam di seluruh museum negeri di Indonesia hingga kekerasan simbolik lewat narasi militer dan musuh besar bangsa. Lalu setelah hampir dua dekade era reformasi di Indonesia bagaimana perubahan museum di Indonesia? Pada era demokrasi yang lebih terbuka, pengelolaan museum dikembalikan kepada pemerintah daerah dan diharapkan untuk dapat menulis kembali sejarah lokal yang baru. Tak berhenti disitu, banyak museum-museum baru yang tumbuh berdiri memberikan kesegaran baru namun juga muncul museum yang berbau rezim Orde Baru turut didirikan sebagai upaya menuliskan narasi.

Full textAbstract:
The US Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), the nation’s most effective cultural resources legislation to date, mostly through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires Federal agencies to address their cultural resources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. Section 110 of the NHPA requires Federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of Federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. Fort Hunter Liggett is located on California’s Central Coast within Monterey County. The fort has been used as a training facility for large-scale maneuvers and live-fire exercises since its establishment as a US Army training facility in 1941. The periods of significance for Criterion A are: from 1769 to 1833, relating to the founding and development of Mission San Antonio de Padua; from 1834 to 1923, relating to Euro-American land grants and ranchos; from 1923 to 1940, relating to Hearst’s purchase of the property and subsequent development; from 1940 to 1945, relating to the establishment of the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation (HLMR) and activities related to WWII; from 1959 to 1970, relating to the establishment and buildup of CDEC; and from 1975 to 1980, relating to HLMR’s redesignation as Fort Hunter Liggett and associated development. This report provides a comprehensive historic context for ranges, features, and buildings at Fort Hunter Liggett in support of Section 110 of the NHPA.
