Day Beachhead
What is it meant by 'broke out' here?
--------------
In April 1945 Soviet forces entered Berlin. In the west, Allied soldiers landed on June 6, 1944 (known as D-Day) in Normandy, France. More than two million Allied soldiers poured into France. In July, Allied forces broke out of the Normandy beachhead. The Allies continued the attack into Germany. In March 1945, Allied forces crossed the Rhine, advancing into the heart of Germany.
The Allied Forces were trapped on the beach area where they landed by the German Forces and had to fight their way through the lines and get the Germans to retreat. So they broke out through the enemy defense.

| | Racial Beachhead (Hardcover) $159.43 In 1917, Fort Ord was established in the tiny subdivision of Seaside, California. Over the course of the 20th century, it held great national and military importance—a major launching point for World War II operations, the first base in the military to undergo complete integration, the West Coast`s most important training base for draftees in the Vietnam War, a site of important civil rights movements—until its closure in the 1990s. Alongside it, the city of Seaside took form. Racial Beachhead offers the story of this city, shaped over the decades by military policies of racial integration in the context of the ideals of the American civil rights movement.Middle class blacks, together with other military families—black, white, Hispanic, and Asian—created a local politics of inclusion that continues to serve as a reminder that integration can work to change ideas about race. Though Seaside`s relationship with the military makes it unique, at the same time the story of Seaside is part and parcel of the story of 20th century American town life. Its story contributes to the growing history of cities of color—those minority-majority places that are increasingly the face of urban America. |

Beyond The Beach Head D-Day (Army Men)
WHY I LOVE TEACHING MATHEMATICS
WHY I LOVE TEACHING MATHEMATICS ?
Friends, Why I teach mathematics? This is a question that does have many answers, depending on where emphasis is placed. I teach mathematics because I am fortunate enough to have discovered that it is “my thing” to do. But mathematics is worth teaching in itself, for it is a powerful, useful thinking and communications tool. Why teach mathematics? My answer is because it has relevant content, structure, and form for each and every individual in our society.
I teach mathematics because of the personal satisfactions and self realization it brings to me in a sense of social purposive ness and self-identity. I teach mathematics because its lessons in learning fascinate me. I enjoy the look of insight in the eyes of students and the sense of achievement in relating to students when they drop by to “just mention” and share their subsequent attainments.
From the prospective of ex-salesman, Insurance agent, office worker, engineer, and graduate student, I have found teaching mathematics to be most satisfying of my experiences. The small exciting bit of anticipation in the morning, the moment before entering to face a class of students, the rush of involvement, and the bits of fulfilment as well as, alas, the failures all persist day after day, year after year, as reasons why I teach mathematics.
With classes over, the anticipation, planning, preparation and development of strategy for lessons is a continuing and satisfying activity. The challenge of each succeeding day, looking forward to a small improvement, overcoming the failures and faults, and giving each day its opportunity for fulfilment are reasons why I teach mathematics.
The hours are great, the pay reasonable, the freedom exceptional, and the sense of self-esteem rewarding. The circumstances afford opportunities to be a human being, father, and professional, too. Even with these personal reasons for teaching mathematics, they in themselves would not justify the objectives and goals of teaching.
Teaching is an intuitive art as well as a developed skill. It is the creating of a dynamic environmental system wherein students can gain and develop insights; it is a moving give-and-take of developing ideas along broad, but individual and distinct, lines. Teaching is creating a learning-to-learn situation in a classroom or with an individual. It is establishing and expanding a beachhead to develop communications skills and understanding between two or more minds. As in art or music, to teach is to form ideas or to make them grow. It is interaction, not formless, but focussed and goal oriented.
To teach means to establish a beginning, an awareness of “where it’s at.” It means to focus and to show and see where we want to go. To teach is also to be aware, to be sensitive, and to be clear and consistent. It requires patience as well as persistence and facing up to realities without the loss of deals or goals.
Teaching is a vehicle with a teacher at the wheel. There must be direction, guidance, and above all, a natural use of motivational goals. I feel teaching is like setting a stage, drawing the curtain, and directing a play. It is the creative use of, as well as the demanding of, the student’s powers and abilities.
To teach is to see and hear the process of leaning taking place. It is not simply to say and to do, nor is it to let nature take its course. It is not a liturgy to be memorized, nor is it feeding students at a trough. Teaching is searching, questioning, reasoning, and yes, even arguing and guessing. Teaching is demanding but truly self-satisfying and rewarding to both students and teacher. It is the realization of one human helping another to new insights and skills.
There are numbers to measure by, to name with, and to use in making choices and decisions. These same numbers can be rich or poor, some are even perfect. Numbers have concrete uses as well as abstract meanings. They are ‘real’ as the flow of electric current and ‘imaginary’ as in the associated magnetic field.
The content of mathematics includes descriptions of forms and relations such as conic sections and equivalence relations. It includes measures of distances and shapes as well as fascinating ratios such as (1 + ?5)/2. Mathematical content relates the most unexpected as in eix +1 = 0. The content of mathematics includes a view of past and present human endeavours. It has its history and its philosophical revelations.
Mathematics has a structure, existing, as in human societies, both by law and by common consent. There are mundane and reasonable rules of order and operations. There are also the tacit agreements of habits and conventions. Mathematical structures can be examined, and their consequences assessed. Mathematical structures can be small or large, simple or complex, and restricted or broad in their scope and applications.
Structure in mathematics reveals both the discipline and the need for consistent rules and order as well as for the creative abilities to develop and construct such structures for explicit purposes and objectives. Mathematical structures have their advantages, for once stated, they can be examined and assessed without human emotional stresses and changes.
Mathematics has process and form. Its processes and transitions are fundamental to solutions of problems. Its transformations are used to reveal different characterizations of content through their forms. Mathematics, in proceeding from a given form to a more revealing form and in proceeding from a given form to a desired form, illustrates useful strategies and tactics in the solutions of problems.
