the First World War .when the following action occurred for which he was awarded the VC.

Government and Politics of Russia
At its greatest extent, the geographical extent of the former Soviet Union was one-sixth of the Earth’s land area.
It spanned eleven time zones and consisted of more than a hundred different nationalities, 22 of which had a population of over a million.
On October 1, 1939, Winston Churchill said that Russia was “an enigma, shrouded in mystery and enigma.” This course attempts to unravel the mystery by providing a comprehensive introduction to the history of political development in Russia from the 1917 Revolution to the present.
The course is divided into two (unequal) parts: 1) a short, chronological overview of the Soviet era, which ended with the introduction of radical reforms under Mikhail Gorbachev and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union (the goal of the first part).
The purpose of the course is to provide important background information for students without prior knowledge of Soviet history. and 2)
the many challenges of state-building, democratization and radical market reforms facing the new post-Soviet Russian state.
In the 1990s, Russia seemed to be on the way to greater democracy and integration with the West. But with the rise of Vladimir Putin in 2000,
the country experienced a dramatic decline in democracy and a resurgence of authoritarianism in almost all areas of domestic life and politics.
Today, Russia seems to be on a very uncertain path, away from communism and towards an uncertain future.
This course is designed to highlight one of the most dramatic and important political, economic and social changes in recent history.
I am interested the population dynamics and ecologys of marine fish. In particular, I am interested in the spatial dynamics of reef fish harvested and degraded by humans.
I hope to improve the effectiveness of management and conservation efforts by combining integrated modeling methods and
designing fishery-independent surveys for reef-associated species. My current research focuses on using active acoustic methods to obtain data on the population size and distribution of reef fish in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

I do my best to approach my clients with a balance of empathic and understanding acceptance, honest directness and humor
I bring my own humanity
into the room – to enable a sense of interpersonal ease and transparency. I don’t think I’m the key to other people’s challenges.
However, I believe I have the ability to guide others to learn to listen to and trust their own wisdom and ability to work towards a more holistic and fulfilling life despite difficult circumstances.
I see my role as holding a safe space and collaborating with my clients to build a meaningful, accepting and powerful relationship with myself.
I am passionate about family
therapy with teenagers over 15 and parents, supporting people through grief, loss and life transitions, and advocating for the gay and lesbian community.
I believe that radical self-acceptance through all of our humanity is a powerful tool on the path to breaking down barriers to personal growth and healing.
