I'm absolutely certain that Kykuit is the oldest best kept mansion out there. Constructed in 1913 Kykuit is a historic mansion where onced lived John D. Rockefeller and the family . Who were known for industrial, political, and banking family that owns one of the world's largest fortunes. Kykuit is a six story stone mansion that has been up for more than 100 years. The house has a underground art gallery collection from as far as the 20th century. That contains the artist Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, and lots more. Also part of his collection is Picasso tapestries, and the cavernous Coach Barn. Trust me it's not an experience you want to miss.

The American forces plan consisted of a “divide and conquer” methodology. The U.S. focused on landing its assault force expediently and quickly and securing Mt. Suribachi and dominant high ground of the island. The Americans expected victory in less than a week. Their forces consisted of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions. The 4th and 5th Marine Divisions were to land on the eastern beaches the 4th on the right and the 5th on the left. The 3rd Marines would either land on the eastern beaches or assume a defensive role, which ever was called (Planning for the Battle of Iwo Jima, n.d.).

The Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the most ferocious battles of the Pacific Campaign in World War II. This battle would be fought between the United States and Japan, and would begin in February 1945 and end in March 1945 causing well over 48,000 casualties of war. The main goal of this battle for the United States was to provide a tactical advantage against Japan. The seizure of this island would give the United States this advantage in victory. The Japanese reasoning would be much different, they had a legacy to withhold over 5000 years of Japans existence, no foreign Army has ever

General Kuribayashi knew all too well the size of the American force that was arrayed against him and also knew that his defeat was virtually assured. However, being an excellent commander, he could not allow his troops to believe this and made morale a high priority by promising victory. He departed from conventional defensive tactics, which normally would have advocated a concentration of forces on the beach. Instead he chose the high ground and based his operations to a large extent on the highest point on the island, __Mt. Suribachi__. He had miles of tunnels dug inside the mountain, which included big artillery pieces that would fire down on the beach. So ingenious were his preparations that he had large steel doors close each time the gun fired so Marines could not fire on the position.

Although Allied troops encountered many Japanese kamikaze planes which destroyed some warships, the Allied Air Force successfully supported their troops on the ground. While the Sixth Army landed more troops on the beach, the I Corps protected them and advanced eastward, and the XIV Corps moved south toward Manila. Because of central Luzon’s geographical features—mostly open plains—the XIV Corps was able to quickly advance toward Manila. Around this time, another amphibious landing of the Eighth Army occurred to the south of Manila. From there, the 11th Airborne Division also advanced on Manila. While the XIV Corps was advancing southward, the I Corps switched to defending their left flank. Meanwhile, General Yamashita had his strongest forces deployed in north Luzon and around the Clark Air Base. However, the Japanese were disorganized because of lack of communications and were not prepared for many US attacks. On their southward journey, when the XIV Corps reached Clark Air Base, they battled for control until it was captured on January 29, which also gave the US more supplies found within the base. Following this, the XIV Corps pushed towards Manila and started the attack on January 31 from the north and south of the city. On February 4th the 11th Airborne Division advanced into the city, but met strong Japanese defences. They pushed through and finished capturing the defences on February 11th, and

Brown led the Army’s 7th Division of three regiments of infantry, four battalions of artillery, the 13th Combat Engineer Battalion, and the attachment of the 50th Combat Engineer Battalion.1 Nearly a year before the battle took place, June 3rd, 1942, the Japanese seized Attu with only natives living there. The Japanese reestablished a base on Attu on October 29, 1942 under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Hiroshi Yanekawa.1 The Japanese set up strong defensive positions with antiaircraft and numerous caches of arms, ammunition and food spread across different locations on the island. U.S. forces did not have such advantage and had a difficult time with logistics due to the unforgiving elements. The islands beaches consisted of muskeg which created very difficult circumstances for U.S. vehicles that the engineers were crucial in resolving. Although the harsh climate and terrain caused many problems for both sides, it was more impactful against the Japanese due to the long period of acclimation they endured.2

There were 26,000 casualties and 6,800 dead Americans at Iwo Jima, with 20,000 casualties and 1083 dead Japanese. (1. "Battle for Iwo Jima, 1945." The Navy Department Library) At Okinawa there were 65,000 American casualties and 14,000 dead, while the Japanese lost 70,000 soldiers out of the 130,000 stationed on Okinawa. (2. "Battle of Okinawa." History.com) The bloodshed from these two battles gave the Americans a taste of the militaristic Japanese, and that a battle for the homeland of Japan would be astronomically worse. The Japanese were prepared to use any means necessary to stop the Americans because of “Yamato Damashii”, which was a virtue of the samurai that went hand in hand with the Bushido code, and it made the Japanese value the country and the emperor above all else, and that fighting to the death was greater than surrender. and it came in the form of Kamikaze attacks, suicide troops, and guerilla warfare. At Okinawa, 193 kamikaze attacks were launched at the Americans damaging 368 ships and destroying 36. (3. "The Battle of Okinawa." History Learning Site) The Japanese were prepared to sacrifice everything they had to destroy American ships and troops. The Japanese also used their own people to fight against the Americans.

Japanese men had a unique way of fighting. Their soldiers were demanded to kill at least 10 Americans before they died. But the thing was the Japanese men weren’t afraid of dying so it made the war harder to win when you have an enemy whom is not afraid to die. The Japanese also fought in camouflage places. Such as caves, trees and concrete bunchers

When I was in sixth grade, my Hebrew school class ended the year with a program called “Heroes Café”. Everyone in my class chose a Jewish person they respected, and gave three minutes-long speeches about what their hero did. What I most remember about that night was the boy in my class who spoke of Maimonides. He made him out to be a true hero, in any sense. When I got home, I did some more research on the man, and found out everything I could. I found out about his philosophical works, his studies in medicine, and his contributions to Jewish culture through the Mishnah. Maimonides dedicated his life to tikkun olam, repairing the world. He lived his life as a role model for all others to follow. That three minute long speech when I was ten years old has stayed with me since. If I could, I’d thank Maimonides for the influence he has made in my day-to-day life. He is famous for many things, but his writing and teachings

The Battle of Okinawa was pretty brutal in itself. Soldiers were dying back and forth; it was "the most ghastly corner of hell..." Japanese soldiers' tactics were very hostile and had no mercy. The battle took place at one of Japan's islands, Okinawa. On the ground, it lasted 81 days beginning on April 1, 1945. The 77th Infantry division was the first division of Americans to land on the Kerama Islands(tiny islands on the west of Okinawa island). The Naval battle was a gruesome one, also. Kamikazes sunk many US aircraft carriers and killed many soldiers. "We watched each plunging kamikaze...we groped hopelessly for the thoughts of that other man up there."(Vice Admiral C.R. Brown, U.S. Navy)

Last and biggest of the Pacific island battles of World War II, the Okinawa campaign (April 1—June 22, 1945) involved the 287,000 troops of the U.S. Tenth Army against 130,000 soldiers of the Japanese Thirty-second Army. At stake were air bases vital to the projected invasion of Japan ("Battle of Okinawa," 1996). The Battle of Okinawa remembered more for its iconic photograph of US Marines raising the US flag on Okinawa more so than any other war or battle ever fought. Okinawa the largest of the Ryukus islands played a major role in the American forces overall strategic efforts to advance to the mainland’s of Japan. Because it was the last major battle of WWII, the battle of Okinawa used lessons learned and TTP’s from all previous

Hello and Thank you for coming to my bar mitzvah it means a lot that you are all here. I will be talking about my torah portion Ki Teitzei which is about the commandments that Moses was giving at the end of his life. The commandments covered many different topics from cheating to inheritance. One thing that stood out to me in my torah portion was the commandment about dealing with difficult children. In the torah it says that if a family has a wayward and defiant son who is bad even after being disciplined. The parents together must take their son to the town’s elders, and say “This son of ours is disloyal and defiant; he does not heed us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then if all of this happens the council will stone the son to death as to sweep the evil out of Israel. Finding this

Richard Lee traveled to the Dobe area with the intention of counting the people, learning their language, finding out what they ate and what ate them, and making sense of the paradoxes of generosity and selfishness that seems to lurk beneath the surface of their lives. The Ju/’hoansi are San people who live in the Dobe area of the Kalahari Desert. They were virtually unknown to scientist until the 1950s. Because they’re a foraging society and each member is part of the collective Ju do not have to work very hard to make a living. The central organizing principle of the Ju/’hoansi is kinship, it is very important in creating order to interpersonal relationships, inheritance, and marriage. In times of need the different bands have come together

They were originally sent to construct an airbase. The U.S. Marines arrived two months later to take away and destroy what the Japanese had created (Guadalcanal). During the night the Japanese would retreat and during the day they would stave off defeat just long enough until they could build up for an offensive. As the Japanese planned their withdraw changes were occurring on Guadalcanal. The Americans had secured victory and insured a safe travel between America and Australia. Even though the battle continued with limited supplies the Japanese had accepted full defeat and was finally expelled out of Guadalcanal (Tonge

The relationship between the Brazilian native tribes, the Botocudos (Aimorés) and the Kayapó people, and the discovery of their use of body modification, along with the history of tattoo and its symbolism in society as a long lasting body adornment, is a major influence on how it became fashionable in mainstream society today. The importance of this subject is in understanding the social meaning behind it, the different types and techniques that have emerged over time as a way of self-expression. Tattoo is seen today as a form of expression in society, shaping the body of an individual, and characterizing new tribes.
