Document : For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary May 1, 2003 President Bush Announces Major Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended Remarks by the President from the USS Abraham Lincoln At Sea Off the Coast of San Diego, California THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. (Applause.) And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country. In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment — yet, it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage, your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other, made this day possible. Because of you, our nation is more secure. Because of you, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. (Applause.) Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of precision and speed and boldness the enemy did not expect, and the world had not seen before. From distant bases or ships at sea, we sent planes and missiles that could destroy an enemy division, or strike a single bunker. Marines and soldiers charged to Baghdad across 350 miles of hostile ground, in one of the swiftest advances of heavy arms in history. You have shown the world the skill and the might of the American Armed Forces. This nation thanks all the members of our coalition who joined in a noble cause. We thank the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland, who shared in the hardships of war. We thank all the citizens of Iraq who welcomed our troops and joined in the liberation of their own country. And tonight, I have a special word for Secretary Rumsfeld, for General Franks, and for all the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States: America is grateful for a job well done. (Applause.) The character of our military through history — the daring of Normandy, the fierce courage of Iwo Jima, the decency and idealism that turned enemies into allies — is fully present in this generation. When Iraqi civilians looked into the faces of our servicemen and women, they saw strength and kindness and goodwill. When I look at the members of the United States military, I see the best of our country, and I’m honored to be your Commander-in-Chief. (Applause.) In the images of falling statues, we have witnessed the arrival of a new era. For a hundred of years of war, culminating in the nuclear age, military technology was designed and deployed to inflict casualties on an ever-growing scale. In defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, Allied forces destroyed entire cities, while enemy leaders who started the conflict were safe until the final days. Military power was used to end a regime by breaking a nation. Today, we have the greater power to free a nation by breaking a dangerous and aggressive regime. With new tactics and precision weapons, we can achieve military objectives without directing violence against civilians. No device of man can remove the tragedy from war; yet it is a great moral advance when the guilty have far more to fear from war than the innocent. (Applause.) In the images of celebrating Iraqis, we have also seen the ageless appeal of human freedom. Decades of lies and intimidation could not make the Iraqi people love their oppressors or desire their own enslavement. Men and women in every culture need liberty like they need food and water and air. Everywhere that freedom arrives, humanity rejoices; and everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear. (Applause.) We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We’re bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous. We’re pursuing and finding leaders of the old regime, who will be held to account for their crimes. We’ve begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated. We’re helping to rebuild Iraq, where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools. And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. (Applause.) The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done. Then we will leave, and we will leave behind a free Iraq. (Applause.) The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001 — and still goes on. That terrible morning, 19 evil men — the shock troops of a hateful ideology — gave America and the civilized world a glimpse of their ambitions. They imagined, in the words of one terrorist, that September the 11th would be the “beginning of the end of America.” By seeking to turn our cities into killing fields, terrorists and their allies believed that they could destroy this nation’s resolve, and force our retreat from the world. They have failed. (Applause.) In the battle of Afghanistan, we destroyed the Taliban, many terrorists, and the camps where they trained. We continue to help the Afghan people lay roads, restore hospitals, and educate all of their children. Yet we also have dangerous work to complete. As I speak, a Special Operations task force, led by the 82nd Airborne, is on the trail of the terrorists and those who seek to undermine the free government of Afghanistan. America and our coalition will finish what we have begun. (Applause.) From Pakistan to the Philippines to the Horn of Africa, we are hunting down al Qaeda killers. Nineteen months ago, I pledged that the terrorists would not escape the patient justice of the United States. And as of tonight, nearly one-half of al Qaeda’s senior operatives have been captured or killed. (Applause.) The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We’ve removed an ally of al Qaeda, and cut off a source of terrorist funding. And this much is certain: No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime, because the regime is no more. (Applause.) In these 19 months that changed the world, our actions have been focused and deliberate and proportionate to the offense. We have not forgotten the victims of September the 11th — the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got. (Applause.) Our war against terror is proceeding according to principles that I have made clear to all: Any person involved in committing or planning terrorist attacks against the American people becomes an enemy of this country, and a target of American justice. (Applause.) Any person, organization, or government that supports, protects, or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent, and equally guilty of terrorist crimes. Any outlaw regime that has ties to terrorist groups and seeks or possesses weapons of mass destruction is a grave danger to the civilized world — and will be confronted. (Applause.) And anyone in the world, including the Arab world, who works and sacrifices for freedom has a loyal friend in the United States of America. (Applause.) Our commitment to liberty is America’s tradition declared at our founding; affirmed in Franklin Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms; asserted in the Truman Doctrine and in Ronald Reagan’s challenge to an evil empire. We are committed to freedom in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and in a peaceful Palestine. The advance of freedom is the surest strategy to undermine the appeal of terror in the world. Where freedom takes hold, hatred gives way to hope. When freedom takes hold, men and women turn to the peaceful pursuit of a better life. American values and American interests lead in the same direction: We stand for human liberty. (Applause.) The United States upholds these principles of security and freedom in many ways — with all the tools of diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence, and finance. We’re working with a broad coalition of nations that understand the threat and our shared responsibility to meet it. The use of force has been — and remains — our last resort. Yet all can know, friend and foe alike, that our nation has a mission: We will answer threats to our security, and we will defend the peace. (Applause.) Our mission continues. Al Qaeda is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland. And we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. (Applause.) The war on terror is not over; yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. (Applause.) Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. (Applause.) After service in the Afghan — and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history, you are homeward bound. (Applause.) Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. (Applause.) We are mindful, as well, that some good men and women are not making the journey home. One of those who fell, Corporal Jason Mileo, spoke to his parents five days before his death. Jason’s father said, “He called us from the center of Baghdad, not to brag, but to tell us he loved us. Our son was a soldier.” Every name, every life is a loss to our military, to our nation, and to the loved ones who grieve. There’s no homecoming for these families. Yet we pray, in God’s time, their reunion will come. Those we lost were last seen on duty. Their final act on this Earth was to fight a great evil and bring liberty to others. All of you — all in this generation of our military — have taken up the highest calling of history. You’re defending your country, and protecting the innocent from harm. And wherever you go, you carry a message of hope — a message that is ancient and ever new. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, “To the captives, ‘come out,’ — and to those in darkness, ‘be free.'” Thank you for serving our country and our cause. May God bless you all, and may God continue to bless America. (Applause.)

It has been two years since the farewell at BJC. I hope things are going well. I was fortunate enough to take the IE 480W (my capstone project – Volcano Lake Sampling Vehicle) under your mentoring, and I am proud of the A I received in your class. I am writing to ask a huge favor – I’m applying engineering management master program at Cornell, USC, Duke, Dartmouth and my dream school Stanford, and I was hoping you’d consider writing a strong letter of recommendation for me. To save your precious time, I have some information you might need such as my resume, personal statement attached at the bottom of this email. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help you draft the letter (I have wrote a template).

 

I have not doubt that you are the perfect person to writing me a recommendation letter. 1. Many erudite professors I may have seen, but you are the one who lead me to the beauty of industry. I never felt so eager to transcend my knowledge to industry application and social welfare. 2. Through out the Volcano Lake Sampling Vehicle project, you observed my ability to apply my innovation and knowledge to a product. 3. You graduated from Stanford, and Stanford is my dream school.

 

My other references will be able to talk about my academic/professional ability, but you are the only one who really knows how I combined both of those (how I applied academic knowledge to industrial product).I was hoping maybe you could talk about my innovation in the design and voted as the best design. Also, talk about the my contribution on material selection using CES advance material selecting software so that the material meet all the requirements under violent environments while minimizing the cost. Maybe also talk about my teamwork and organizing ability as team secretary: 1. I made the schedule and ensured that everyone follows it. 2. I organized all the team meetings, no one ever missed one single meeting.

 

I know you are quite busy, so I would be very grateful if you were able to write me this recommendation, and I thank you in advance for your time and consideration! I doubt I expressed my appreciation enough in class, but you had motivated me to pursue my dream as an entrepreneur, and for that I can never express my gratitude!

 

Sincerely yours,

Z (Ziwang Sheng)

 

Some brief updates after I graduate:

After graduation, I went to Danfoss Power Solution. After one year’s accumulation of knowledge, I decided to apply the knowledge I learned in the college and industry in US to my mother’s company in China. Currently, I’m a project manager in her company. During the job, I concluded that it is the management knowledge we need most rather than technology. In this case, I applied the Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) program from above listed school. I believe this program has produced leadership in this new discipline at the interface of engineering, business, and public policy, which are useful in my future career. In addition, skills such like entrepreneurship management, risk analysis, marketing and related economics that I could learn from MS&E will also add my value in this competitive business world.

So I need 2 customized writing: 1. an email to the professor to ask him to write me a recommendation letter (rewrite and polish). 2. A recommendation letter draft he can use (writing from scratch). Feel free to add/delete sentences even paragraphs, but please keep my personal experiences. In addition to the email draft, I also have my resume attached for you reference. You don’t need to edit my resume.

As for sources you can use the metropolitan museum website as well as other museum websites and book sources. But can not use online sources other than online books.

Zhang Feng was the son of a senior military officer who committed suicide in 1631 after losing a battle. His brother Zhang Yi was a Battalion Commander in the Embroidered Uniform Guard at a court during the Chong Zhen reign, whom despite being torture refused to surrender but escaped execution.[1] Having obtained the lowest-level degree before 1644, Zhang himself would normally have sat for the higher examinations leading to an official career, but the fall of the Ming led him to abandon that ambition and he subsequently supported himself through painting.

Kant holds the very interesting view that one of the characteristic features of human beings is that human beings can always rise above their feelings in order to do what is right. Thus, on Kant’s view there is no excuse for crimes of passion (where you walk in on your spouse in bed with another person, say Fritz). But is Kant’s view too strong? Are there circumstances when we rightly excuse a person for failing to do what is right, owing to the feelings that the individual has as a result of the predicament that the person is in owing to no fault of her or his own. If you had to choose one such instance of this sort, what would it be? Why would you excuse the person? Why would you criticize those who refused to excuse the individual? What distinguishes this case from cases in which you would not excuse the person?

Many critics have described Okonkwo as a tragic hero(in the traditional of Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, Othelio, etc) an exceptional man who because of circumstances beyond his control and because of his own fatal flaw, is destined for destruction. Though defeated, the hero is a strong person who had dared to aspire greatness. Analyze the trajectory of Okonkwo’s life and his final tragic end. Use Database sources, and the book. A lot of citation. Speak of his psychological fear of weakness and his relationship with his father.

In the novel ‘Thing Fall Apart’ by Chinua Achebe Okonkwo is a protagonist. Critics also refer to him as a tragic hero. A tragic hero can be defined as a person who holds a position of power and he chooses his own way of doing things, has a tragic flaw and knows the reasons as to why they go through what they are going through. Okonkwo as depicted in this novel made a lot of decisions, very full aware of the consequences of his actions.  Okonkwo was a well respected man of the Umuofia clan (Bloom 4). He is afraid that he will end up becoming like lazy father Unoka and therefore ends up making a lot of decisions that later lead to his tragic suicide.

Tobacco is among the world’s leading cash crop that has actively boosted the growth of a stable and highly successful American economy. The legality or illegality battle on the impacts of tobacco to the overall well being of the global society has however become are highly complex topic over the past decade (Houston, 56).  While others laud the crop and its products for pumping massive economic energy in the respective economies, others are hugely alarmed by the lives put at a risk as a result of over embracement of the capitalist ideology when dealing with the effects of tobacco and its product. Tobacco has hence headlined different platforms taking divergent nature of discussion. This paper therefore evaluates the authenticity of whether tobacco and its products should be legalized or should be prohibited specifically in the American society. The paper will therefore evaluate the economic consequences and the health consequences of tobacco and its products in the American set up. It is a paper that will also seek to establish the general global fact of tobacco and its products.

access why tobacco products should be illegal and cigarette production should be stooped in the U.S. due to its health consequences around the world
