The document provides a summary of news from the Labor Day edition of a newspaper. It discusses three main topics:
1) Pennsylvania's $3.2 billion toy industry which employs over 22,000 people in making toys from crayons to model airplanes. It profiles a former private investigator who now crafts wooden toys finding joy and fulfillment in bringing happiness to children.
2) The U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania and how veterans' issues have become a factor with both candidates touting their support for veterans while also criticizing their opponent's commitment.
3) A police department in Texas adding "In God We Trust" decals to patrol cars amid recent violence against officers, drawing criticism
The document summarizes an upcoming Rotary Club meeting that included a Four-Way Test speech contest for students. The contest featured 6 student speakers who each gave a speech analyzing a topic using the Four-Way Test. The meeting also included club announcements and a speech from a political candidate.
This article provides a summary of two one-act plays presented by Rhubarb Theatre at the Darkhorse Theater in Nashville. The first play, "Last Chance Texaco" by Peter Maloney, focuses on an interaction between a New York woman with car trouble and a mother-daughter duo who work at a Texas gas station. It explores themes of religion, family relationships, and judgmentalism. The second play, "First and Second Timothy" by Carol Caldwell, satirizes televangelists through its portrayal of an enthusiastic preacher who exploits parishioners but has his own hypocrisy exposed. The article provides analysis of themes and performances with high praise for the actresses portraying the gas station daughter and mother.
The document gives Rachel L. McCullaugh permission to post information about Battle-Bro, an initiative by The Warrior Connection, at any VA site or military base to help prevent veteran suicide. The Warrior Connection's founding director, Anne Black, thanks the recipient for supporting Battle-Bro's goal of connecting veterans to themselves, their families, and their communities.
The document summarizes how the Australian government's powers expanded during World War 1 under the War Precautions Act, including censoring publications, conscripting soldiers, and interning those with German heritage. It also discusses how women's roles changed as many took jobs formerly held by enlisted men. Sports were discouraged to focus entirely on the war effort, and recruiting campaigns tried to persuade more men to enlist through propaganda or accusations of disloyalty.
A Fletcher man was charged with three counts of breaking and entering and larceny after breaking into the same house three times and stealing jewelry worth $15,300. An Asheville man was charged with attempted jail escape, identity theft, and robbery after robbing a man, stealing his identity, and trying to escape from jail. A former death row inmate who was wrongly convicted and spent 14 years on death row will speak at Brevard College about his experience and exoneration.
The civil war document provides a comparison of advantages between the North and South during the American Civil War from 1861-1865. It summarizes that the North had greater population, wealth, industry and railroads while the South relied more on farming. Both sides were very enthusiastic in their support. It then discusses some of the major battles of the war including Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg, and concludes with Sherman's total war strategy and the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.

This summary provides the key details about a play called "My Secret Weapon" that explores conversations between recent First Ladies of the United States when away from the public eye. The play features monologues portraying Nancy Reagan consulting her astrologer, Barbara Bush discussing her husband's alleged affair, Hillary Clinton talking with Bill Clinton about his infidelities, and Laura Bush giving advice to her daughter. The play aims to show a more candid side to the First Ladies and is based on credible information but also includes conjecture. It is performed by one actress and directed by Julie Alexander.

Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation designated the last Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving. It recognized the blessings of abundant harvests despite the ravages of the ongoing Civil War. Lincoln acknowledged that peace had been maintained with other nations and order and law had prevailed across most of the country, except for battlefields, where advancing Union armies had reduced areas of conflict. He attributed the nation's continued prosperity and population growth, despite wartime losses, to God's gracious gifts and providence. Lincoln called on citizens to offer gratitude and also humble prayers for healing of the nation and restoration of peace.

Larry Kramer's 1985 play The Normal Heart, about the early years of the AIDS epidemic in New York, is being performed by Rhubarb Theatre Company in Nashville to raise awareness about complacency towards AIDS. The play focuses on efforts to raise public awareness of AIDS amid government inaction. Although over 35 million people worldwide have HIV/AIDS, it has receded from the public consciousness in the US. The director hopes the play will educate audiences and recapture the urgency to address AIDS that existed in the 1980s.

His 122 ch 18 the gilded age & urban americadcyw1112
This document provides an overview of the emergence of urban America and popular culture during the Gilded Age from 1860-1910. Some key points include:
- America saw explosive urban growth during this period as the population grew from 6 million to 44 million, with the majority living in urban areas for the first time.
- Cities struggled with problems of unregulated growth including issues with sanitation, health, and crime. Immigrant populations also swelled in urban centers.
- Popular culture developed including newspapers, vaudeville, sports, and amusement parks which helped address problems of urban living. New ideologies also emerged such as pragmatism and social Darwinism.
- Politics became increasingly corrupt as political machines formed and
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963. It was conceived by A. Philip Randolph and organized by Bayard Rustin to demand equal rights and an end to racial discrimination. Over 250,000 people gathered in Washington D.C. to hear speeches by civil rights leaders including John Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. However, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham just weeks later, which killed four young black girls, was a tragic reminder that racial equality was still far from being achieved.
This document summarizes the upcoming meetings and events for the Plano Rotary Club in August 2013. It lists the guest speakers scheduled for each weekly meeting, including Jim Lites on August 1st to discuss growing a paying fan base for the Dallas Stars, and Brian Cuban on August 29th to discuss turning low moments into successes. It also notes the club's kayak fishing trip on August 24th to benefit wounded veterans. In addition, it provides the club's board of directors and upcoming awards, including Camille Ussery receiving the Athena Award for 2012.

For many multinationals, the answer increasingly seems to be
to downplay any U.S. heritage or even a single global identity.
Neville Isdell, new chief executive of Coca-Cola, is typical of many
business leaders who work hard to stress local credentials with
sports sponsorship and customised advertising. "We are not an
American brand," he says.
Starbucks, the coffee chain, has thrived by making more of its
products' associations with the developing world than of its own
Seattle heritage. But Doug Holt, professor of marketing at the
Said School of Business in Oxford, cautions against running away
from historic roots entirely. "Local is not always better," he warns.
"People assign value to brands that have succeeded globally; that's
why multinational companies do so well."
If nothing else, the trend reveals a declining confidence in the
aspirational pull of the U.S. Simon Anholt, author of Brand
America, sums up how far the U.S. has slipped from its pedestal:
"The world's love affair with America isn't exactly over, but it has
stopped being a blind and unquestioning kind of love."
Questions for Discussion and Writing
1. This article suggests that there are certain products that "mean" America for
people in other countries. Make a list of the ones mentioned in this essay
and then write down what elements of American life you feel they represent.
2. Are there products and foods from other countries that you feel represent
those nations? What kinds of things are you thinking of and what ideas do
they give you about other cultures?
3. Imagine that you are a salesperson and what you are selling is an image of
America. What elements of America would you want to emphasize and what
kinds of products and images might you use to present your sales

This document provides an overview of key events and developments in the United States between 1860-1900. It discusses the rapid urbanization of America during this period and the problems that arose. Immigration increased vastly and nativist sentiment grew. The Gilded Age saw major political corruption alongside rapid industrial growth. Economic issues like the tariff and bimetallism caused conflict. The Populist movement emerged from agrarian discontent, and racial tensions increased, exemplified by the 1898 Wilmington riot. Key figures that arose included Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois.
The document summarizes the story of a student whose grandparents survived Auschwitz concentration camp. It describes some of the horrific experiences the grandparents endured, such as walking past dead bodies regularly and the grandfather risking death to smuggle extra food to his imprisoned brother. The student shares what little remains of survivors' testimony about the atrocities at the camp as the numbers of living survivors dwindle.
The document summarizes the origins and founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). It discusses how the SCLC emerged from the Montgomery Bus Boycott in the 1950s, led by Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph Abernathy. The SCLC was formally established in 1957 to coordinate nonviolent protests against segregation across the South. The SCLC adopted nonviolent mass action and sought to make the movement open to people of all backgrounds. Over time, the SCLC's influence grew beyond the South and it addressed issues impacting all Americans.
The document discusses a meet-and-greet event for candidates in the upcoming primary election in Hot Springs County, Wyoming. It notes that candidates for U.S. Representative, State Senate, State Representative, County Commissioner, and Town Council will attend to introduce themselves and meet with voters. The event will take place at the Thermopolis Middle School and include two-minute introductions from each candidate as well as a social period with refreshments afterward. An earlier meet-and-greet is also planned for Republican candidates to distribute materials in a casual setting.
