He married Mary O'Neill in 1923 and had a family of seven children. He worked as a police officer in the Boston Police Department for thirty-one years. This is the story of his life, from his birth in Ireland to his death in Brighton, Massachusetts.This is also the story of how one man affected the lives of those who came after him. The reverberations of his life continue to be felt, even by those who were born after his death. / by Matthew R. Burns. / S.B.in Writing

Como resultado, tanto Remedios Varo como Carmen Martín Gaite se exiliaron, la primera literal y la segunda figurativamente. Las dos artistas aprendieron a forjar espacios intemos para sí mismas. En el caso de Varo, esto consiste en la creación de un universo hermético con sus propias leyes. Este universo encantado se caracteriza por creaciones híbridas de elementos dispares e inversiones del orden natural. Además, dentro de este universo, que se puede considerar un espacio interno en sí, existe otro nivel de espacios, como las secciones transversales de cuartos fantasiosos y las prendas de vestir que sirven como escondites. Asimismo, la realidad estratificada de El cuarto de atrás (1978) de Martin Gaite tiene su propia estructura única, y dentro de esta realidad, hay varios espacios internos como el cuarto de atrás del título y la isla de Bergai. La tela de estos espacios entreteje tanto lo fantástico como lo real de tal manera que el mundo resultante no es enteramente posible aunque es casi verosímil. También, la manera en que las dos artistas construyen el tiempo en sus obras se parece al concepto de tiempo de Einstein, salvo algunas idiosincrasias. / by Heather M.

I present a case study on a financially troubled, partially complete village reconstruction project in Shandong. Villagers outside the leadership were minimally involved in project planning, and the village leadership put pressure on villagers to move. However, the pressure to move was not due to an absence of formal property rights for villagers; reluctant villagers agreed to move because they could not afford to offend the village government. I argue that architectural and urban design were central to villagers' reactions to village reconstruction and to the project's social and economic outcomes. The design of the relocation townhomes sought to engineer the urbanization of villagers' lifestyles; so far, although some aspects of village life have changed, many villagers have persisted in "rural" behaviors. This is partly because, at least in the short term, the design and urban amenities of the case village's relocation housing constitute a burden on the poor, the elderly, and the crippled. These populations, who do not like the design of the new houses, are the most likely to live in them year round; younger and wealthier villagers, who often like the new housing more, spend much of the year engaged in migrant labor. Despite apparent local control over the project, villagers did not perceive village elections as a means of resolving their concerns. / S.B.
