Future Years Defense Program (2004)

Actions Needed to Improve Transparency of DoD's Projected Resource Needs

By: Gwendolyn R. Jaffe

Congress needs the best available data about the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) resource tradeoffs between the dual priorities of transformation and fighting terrorism. In 2001 DoD developed a capabilities-based approach focused on how future adversaries might fight, and a risk management framework to ensure that current defense needs are balanced against future requirements. Because the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) is DoD’s centralized report providing data on current and planned resource allocations, this 2004 report assessed the extent to which the FYDP provides Congress visibility over projected defense spending, and implementation of DoD’s capabilities-based defense strategy and risk management framework. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Gertrude, Mabel, May

An ABC of Gertrude Stein’s Love Triangle

By: Gwendolyn Leick

Gertrude Stein’s first novel, one that was never published during her lifetime, was called Q.E.D. She wrote it to exorcise the experience of her first passionate love affair with the New Yorker May Bookstaver, the friend and lover of the Bostonian Mabel Haynes, a fellow student of Gertrude Stein’s at Johns Hopkins Medical School between 1898 and 1902. The impact of the complicated affair on Stein’s writing has attracted considerable attention but the subsequent lives of her two intimate friends have not been covered so far in any detailed way. Gwendolyn Leick is the granddaughter of Mabel Haynes, who moved to Austria-Hungary in 1905. She began writing this book, after the chance discovery of her grandmother’s part in Gertrude Stein’s life some six years ago, in order to do justice to these remarkable women. The method of writing lays out the things, the notions and ideas, the people (friends, relatives, lovers, husbands), in the form of associative ‘entries’, woven around Gertrude Stein’s texts, as much as on private letters, photographs and other found objects. It is an encyclopaedic enterprise, rather than a chronologically ordered biographical account. The character and the lives of the three protagonists and the times they lived in emerge through the kaleidoscope of the accumulated vignettes.

A Short History of Film

By: Wheeler Winston Dixon,Gwendolyn Audrey Foster

A Short History of Film, Second Edition, provides a concise and accurate overview of the history of world cinema, detailing the major movements, directors, studios, and genres from 1896 through 2012. Accompanied by more than 250 rare color and black-and-white stills—including many from recent films—the new edition is unmatched in its panoramic view, conveying a sense of cinema's sweep in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries as it is practiced in the United States and around the world. Wheeler Winston Dixon and Gwendolyn Audrey Foster present new and amended coverage of the industry in addition to updating the birth and death dates and final works of notable directors. Their expanded focus on key films brings the book firmly into the digital era and chronicles the death of film as a production medium. The book takes readers through the invention of the kinetoscope, the introduction of sound and color between the two world wars, and ultimately the computer-generated imagery of the present day. It details significant periods in world cinema, including the early major industries in Europe, the dominance of the Hollywood studio system in the 1930s and 1940s, and the French New Wave of the 1960s. Attention is given to small independent efforts in developing nations and the more personal independent film movement that briefly flourished in the United States, the significant filmmakers of all nations, and the effects of censorship and regulation on production everywhere. In addition, the authors incorporate the stories of women and other minority filmmakers who have often been overlooked in other texts. Engaging and accessible, this is the best one-stop source for the history of world film available for students, teachers, and general audiences alike.

Film Quotations

11,000 Lines Spoken on Screen, Arranged by Subject, and Indexed

By: Robert A. Nowlan,Gwendolyn W. Nowlan

Certain lines define a movie. Marlene Dietrich in Morocco: “Anyone who has faith in me is a sucker.” Too, there are lines that fit actor and character. Mae West in I’m No Angel: “I’m very quick in a slow way.” Jane Fonda in California Suite: “Fit? You think I look fit? What an awful shit you are. I look gorgeous.” From the classics to the grade–B slasher movies, over 11,000 quotes are arranged by over 900 subjects, like accidents, double entendres, eyes (and other body parts!), ice cream, luggage, parasites, and ugliness. Each quote gives the movie title, production company, year of release, speaker of the line, and, when appropriate, a comment putting the quote in context.

The Invisible Woman Becomes Visible!

A ChristianaEUR(tm)s Journey through Corporate America

By: Gwendolyn J. Wheeler

The name of this book was derived from a college course, Systems Theory of Psychology. One of the major lessons I learned was, when people don't value you, they can make you invisible. Invisibility can be perpetuated in many different ways. To illustrate this truth, mixtures of corporate stories are shared. Identities of people and companies have been concealed. The professor who taught Systems Theory of Psychology said, "There should always be a learning process in everything we do." I asked him what I should learn from supporting an international sales force of fourteen people without appreciation and recognition. He enthusiastically responded, "You may have to learn it is time to look for another job." That psychology class became my therapy, which helped me to walk through the final days of my employment at that company and prepared me for my next chapter. Most of my thirty-seven-year corporate journey was spent in a secretarial/administrative role. Frankly, I had one of the best seats in the house. While supporting the senior leaders of companies, I learned a lot from the letters I typed, the papers I filed, the phone messages I took, the emails I read, and the conversations I overheard. Corporate America matured me and provided me with transferable skills. When I began working in corporate America, I was invisible, a shy, quiet, naive, young woman. Amazingly, I walked out a visible woman, stronger, confident, with leadership skills. Two nonprofit organizations emerged from me: a church, Cathedral of Faith International Ministries, Inc., and a personal ministry organization, Gwen Wheeler International Ministries, Inc. Additionally, after graduating from Rittners School of Floral Design in 2009, I started my floral design business, Sensational Floral Designs by Gwendolyn. May your journey through corporate America birth out of you stories that will heal, restore, and rescue others out of their invisibility. Don't give up! You are a champion, my friend. Visibility is on the horizon. Embrace it fiercely!
