These are vessels of Zen. They carry the weight of an idea. They are worlds in a grain of sand. On their surfaces are a wall's worth of abstract expressionism reduced in size and given three dimensions. They project aH the physicality of an "action painter" whose whole body is thrown into every brushstroke. Most reveal the ridges of the potter's fingers, or show the indentations of the artist's thumb. [Toshiko Takaezu]'s seminal works are not open at all, but in a technical coup de grace, the clay walls-after stretching upwards and outwards-are brought abruptly inward again to meet at the axis, and pinched closed in a rude nipple. Thus Takaezu stood her ground with modern artists. No longer are these utilitarian works. "You can't put anything in, and you can't take anything out," she wo...
The traditional role of escalation of force (EOF) is to help with the proportional application of force in self-defense situations.4 The basic idea is simple-to increase the magnitude of force applied to an identified threat until the threat is deterred or, if necessary, eliminated.5 It was envisioned to be used in times where there was no actual enemy.6 Situations where angry civilians who might throw rocks and swing clubs at Soldiers could be calmed down and dispersed, hopefully, without having to resort to deadly force. The standing rules of engagement (SROE) anticipated two scenarios for the armed forces-a state of peace (applying force in self-defense) and a state of war (applying force against an identified declared hostile force).9 Given the type of missions we expected to condu...
A truck as a technological tour-de-force is what the 2011 Ford Super Duty is, particularly with regard to its powertrain. Before looking at the engines, it is worth noting that developing a transmission that can readily handle the characteristics of both a diesel and a gas engine is no mean feat. The transmission offers full automatic operation of manual selection of the gears. A key characteristic of the engine is the large 105-mm bore and short 95-mm stroke. The former facilitates the use of bigger intake and exhaust valves for better combustion conditions. Ford had outsourced the diesel engine for the Super Duty. But for the 2011 truck it decided to design, engineer and make its own. One of the interesting interior design features is a consequence of mounting the gearshift lever on t...
Once you reach that point, it becomes easier to get people to do what you need them to do, and it doesn't require as much time to get them buying in to changes and engaged in the process.
The belief that enlisted military divorce rates are unusually high is a recurring theme expressed among those living in the military community, yet quantitative data on military divorce rates remain a virtual lacuna. The all-volunteer enlisted force also happens to be an almost all-married enlisted force. Assessing the degree of marital dissolution experienced by military personnel has important implications for the well being of military families and also for readiness levels and reenlistment likelihood. In this paper, I analyze underutilized military data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and find that enlisted divorce rates in the Armed Forces are higher than for comparable civilians within a specific age range.
