that umbrella even had to replicate the slight curve, the slight sag, in the taut line , because it isot perfectly straight. once we solved all of those problems, the next challenge is, how do you tell the story? so, we turned to filmmakers, historians. our lead vice president for collections, scott stephenson. and they spent, huddled together and spent two years working on the storyline, the imagery, thinking about the music, the narration, the presentation, a -- the light quality, to really give this tent meaning. our goal is to give meaning to george washington's leadership. he was commander-in-chief for eight years. never left his troops. and he inspired a sense of loyalty. he instilled a sense of responsibility in the army that has really become the bedrock of the traditions of the american military ever since. without him, the army would likely have dissolved, and the war would have been lost. so, in many ways, it is an emblem for the entire museum. how do you take these small objects, how do you make these objects come alive and tell the incredible life-and-death decisions, the

. -- taut. the cover belt is loose. pressure exerted on it by several rubber wheels to hold the items being transported securely against the transport belt. notice the action of the pressure rollers against the cover belt as a sack moves upward. sacks and parcels of all sizes, small pieces as well as trays filled with letter mail, may be transported vertically without damage. a prototype model with a longer vertical lift is being installed for test in another facility. this compact unit simulates actual operating conditions of the keyboard of a letter sorting machine. it may be used to test personnel for dexterity. or to help them develop rhythm at the keyboard. the machine projects a number code or letter facsimile on the display screen. the student responds by pressing keys corresponding to the number shown. when an error is made, virtual lamps illuminate the correct key. by pressing keys that match the lamps, the student learns correct fingering. the instructor's control panel provides means for method of projection

so the fact that pocahontas' marriage to john rolph in a state that long tauted the first interracialriage in between pocahontas and john rolph is nothing if not truly ironic. generations of contemporary americans have grown up learning about pocahontas from the 1995 animated disney film, but throughout u.s. history americans have been reproducing pocahontas' supposed likeness. and in the early 20th century, however, a famous philanthropist paul mellen acquired an early painting of pocahontas based on the famous engraving. and for decades it hung in pocahontas' husband john rolph's family home. it was acquired and in 1942 it was donated to the national gallery of art and then to the national portrait gallery where it is touted as their most famous portrait of an early american. what we would like people to walk away from this gallery realizing is that pocahontas holds a unique place in american history. she is the individual who put a human face on the indigenous peoples of the americas and she is a reminder that the country's deepest roots are entangled with native americans. >> you

so that the sides of each sack became taut, leaving no space between sacks. being pulled tight, the card were dropped into the sacks. finally, all the racks were addressed. this business is full of such unique terms, and since they are widely used, it's well for all employees to know them. when phil asked cappy to check his work, cappy pointed out a hole between the sacks where mail might slip through. this was easily corrected by re-hooking and tightening the tie cord. together, instructor and student checked over the job, making sure the racks were dressed according to the car diagram. it was important to know the differences between a sack, which is used for newspapers and parcel post, and a pouch, which is used for first-class mail, and then the label holders for the two containers, as well as the different methods of closing. the sack is tied with cords while the pouch is strapped and sealed with a lock. yes, there was a lot to learn about the job of becoming a postal transportation clerk. next, the labels. how they first marked the various separations a

it's a brilliant it's a brilliant, really taut, slim book that we thought would be the right one to tokick start our list with. and so we we made the case, you know, that we were new press that were that was going to be enthusiastic champions of this kind of work. and yeah, we were really lucky that lisa was on board and andres and his spanish publisher publisher were also on board. and we had a great success with it. now, let's get to the second half of that headline. yeah, publishing a nobel prize winner tell us that story. yeah, well, ashley and i were admirers of john fossey's work before we first saw his is what would become his masterworks, hepatology and submission. and so we received about 30 pages, typically with international literature, you're not reading a whole manuscript on submission in the way that you are with an english language manuscript. you're you're seeing just a sample of it. and sometimes it's synopsis, but usually it's just a short chunk of pages. so we read the first 30 pages of what we were told was going to be a 1200 page book of of slow prose by john foste

it was put up with tall poles and ropes tied to the fabric itself pulled taut. that would pull that ancient fabric apart. we challenged engineers to develop a sophisticated umbrella structure so the tent appears to be full ly assembled and no tension or damage done to it at all. the umbrella had to replicate the slight sag in a taut line because it's not perfectly straight. once we solved all those problems, the next challenge is how do you tell the story? so we turned to filmmakers, historians, our lead vice president for collection scott stevenson, and they spent huddled together and spent almost two years pulling together this storyline, the imagery, thinking about the music, the narration, the presentation, the light quality, to really give this tent meaning. our goal is to give meaning to george washington's leadership. he was commander in chief for eight years. never left his troops, and he inspired a sense of loyalty. he instud a sense of responsibility, in the army, that has really become the bedrock of the traditions of the american military ever since.

it is taut and concise and it is about pulling ourselves together to survive. the books seem to represent different areas and complement each other. do you see them linked? george: i am always writing about america and american spirit my last five books including this one, that has been the theme of all of them. the book this is most connected to is "the unwinding" which came before the holbrooke biography. immersive reporting, storytelling about left behind, forgotten regions of the country where people felt disconnected from power and from money. and in the work on that book, i saw the institutions of our democracy failing, and not connecting to people and not helping people, and people feeling as if it was a con game, a kind of rigged system that had nothing for them. that came to me as a shock because it was in the first term of obama when there was still a fair amount of optimism about the future of the country. so i began to get a dark view of america from the work on "the unwinding," and the holbrooke book goes back to world war ii. "last, best hope" ret

it's what mandates be taut in school, it was crafted when amazon was only a bookstore. we othwe it to our kids and our state to offer 21st century world-class education. [ applause ] my budget proposes curbs on capital construction. i did so noting that we already are engaged in several expansive and expensive projects. the state hospital, resource centers, science facility, skilled nursing facility, the wyoming state penitentiary, and the state office building to name a few. given that it's hard for us to afford the pay the people we need, the staff for these buildings, it makes little sense to continue to build as aggressively as we have when times were more flush. in keeping with this administration's desire for transparency, i wanted to demand racina for bringing transparency here. my office has also set up a website in wyoming. it illustrates the budget and process, and it will track the progress and work. now anyone in wyoming can easily see what's being budgetsed and how it's being spent.

if this student is taut to think of both the pilgrims and indians like a historian, more dispassionately as they instead of as we, it might be a step towards a more critical understanding of t past in which all of the actors can be seen as more fully human, th all othe virtues and shortcomings that one would expect to fi in any population. at the samtime, if the stude is taught to think of both groups more inclusively, as we, aware of the associated risk of appropriation, that might be a step towards a more compassione national culture. if the pubc continues to associate pilgrim/indian relations with thanksgiving, and i don't think we need to, the least can do is try to get the story straight with wampanoag actors and perspectives that the center. imagine if instead of trafficking in the mythical thanksgiving, we, as a country, reckoned with the story as told by massasoit-metacom and frank james. am not naÏve. i know the allenges are significant at many levels. a numberf americans are not comfortable with the native american past. it turns to turn patriotic episodes inside out and heroes

he was largely self-taut though he studied with gorky.e didn't care for gorky because he thought he supervised him too closely. and again historian irving sandaler said he had a desire to create a modern mythic art. and rothko and adolph gottlieb wrote a manifesto in 1943 appear said the vision of the art is fachg simple expression of complex thought. it has the impact of ungivabling with flat form because they destroy illusion and reveal truth. and i think this last phrase, destroy illusion and reveal truth, really sums up nicely american art after world war ii. so let's take a look at a little bit of rothko. so this is created right during the war. slow swirl at the edge of the sea. and again it's really quite beautiful and the colors are quite beautied. and we can't really tell figures. again the lines are pliant, flexible. it's getting away from mondrian there are things randomly placed. we are looking at it we might think that and we can also say that maybe there is elements of surrealism here. and if you look a few years later, afte

to take down a monument to erase harts, what i say to that is monuments are not how history is it taut. monuments themselves erase history by positing certain narratives and ignoring others. something i talk about in the book northern civil war memorials hardly ever even acknowledge the existence of african americans, despite an incredibly high percentage of black men fighting in the union army. instead, if they acknowledged their existence they're depicted in sort of ration, kneeling, receiving emancipation as a gift rather than as happened in reality fighting -- or risking their lives to free others. so to take down this -- what history is that erasing? it's erasing a very particular picture of history design to enforce social norms. i'm not saddened. i think that history doesn't get erased until you erase all forms of communication of knowledge. and if you are walking around in your community and you think, oh, i'm not sure who is is that guy on that horse over there, you'll know that not all statues do a great job of communicating any information whatsoever. >> i think you intervie

it means the fed chair wants a little more tautness in the labor market. so fewif you don't have a job now she's hoping that the time -- your search time and your pay -- your search time's going to go down. perhaps the pay you're offered is going to go up. i would say the federal reserve is on the side of labor here. they want to see more firmness in the job market. >> are they listening to the concerns of those that say if you raise the rates that impacts wages and you'll see even more income inequality. >> yeah it's a terrible problem. i think monetary policy contributes to it a little because interest rates affect asset prices. and keeping interest rates low as we saw yesterday, the signal from the fed is we're going to be very slow moving and cautious here here, so the stock market rose. anybody with assets is benefitting. those who don't have assets, a house, a mutual fund portfolio, are not benefitting because they're just trading their labor for dollars. again, i think janet yellen would like to see people trading labor for dollars get paid more. bu

that umbrella even had to replicate the slight curve, the slight sag in a taut line because it's not perfectly straight. once we solved all those problems, the next challenge is how do you tell the story so we turned to film makers and they huddled together and spent almost two years pulling together the story line, the imagery, thinking about the music, the presentation, the light quality to really give this tent meaning. our goal is to give meaning to george washington's leadership. he was commander in chief for eight years. never left his troops. and he inspired a sense of loyalty, he instilled a sense of responsibility in the army that has really become the bedrock of the traditions of the american military ever since. without him the army would likely have dissolved and the war would have been lost. so in many ways it's an emblem for the entire museum. how do you take these small objects, very simple to our eyes, after all they didn't have tanks and airplanes and battleships in the revolution. t they had guns and canteens and powder horns. how do you make these objects come aliv

to taut this as something that's happened in the past, threatened, sailing into the bright future, i think we have a lot of work to do. thanks, mr. chair. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to again say that we said the initial rollout was botched and appreciated the inspector general making clear that a couple months in there was serious progress. so you all reported that after the first open enrollment, the agency demonstrated the strong sense of urgency to take action. except work processes. they improved the health care.gov website substantially within two months. i think it would be helpful if you could tell us two things. what were the operational and strategic changes that were made arch the first enrollment, do you feel they're better equipped to deal with the challenge now? >> thank you for that question. as we discussed in the case study, some of the key strategic and operational changes that were made as part of the correction were to establish more clear leadership and designate rows and responsibilities. this time they did it in a way that brought together staff and cont

. >> one of your fellow midwestern colleagues has entered the race, amy klobuchar and she tauts and others argue for her that she would kind of through her midwestern grit me would be able to appeal to blue collar workers, white collar workers, anti-trump republicans and coalesce this group of people throughout the midwest and she would be able to be competitive in states like ohio and some other states around the midwest. so i'm wondering if she is already in the race and she would be competitive with labor and workers and all these things that you are kind of laying down or laying the bare bones with your tour, what would differentiate your possible candidacy from hers and if she's already in the race and she's taking up all these midwestern grit boxes why would you then get in the race? >> i don't know. i will calculate all that, but i like amy, i think amy -- amy -- everybody brings something to the table, that's not in any way to diminish her. she brings something to the table a little different and differently from the others, perhaps of where she's from, she's had a lot of electoral

>> i learned everything from krugman about this, and krugman thoug taut it only works if expectations go up. as long as its credible, you might as well just do the fiscal policy and have the monetary policy agree to be support niv some way. >> yeah. there's this idealized -- by the i'll call it the blanchard 4% target, although that's me too. we have a coordinated, a fiscal expansion, to get to, to that point which is ratified by monetary. that doesn't seem to be on the table anywhere. if we talk about actual coordination, i worry about who's coordinatestnating with him? i would be happy with mario draghi getting to set it p. i'm not happy with the german government getting to set ecb policy. >> olivier? >> i think the two dimensions of coordination, there is within a country fiscal and money, there is a coordination that can be done, simple coordination. you do something, tell a fiscal authority, you do something, and as a central bank, i react to it and make sure that i undo the affect if it's negative. i don't think it implies more than just that. greenspan is an example of that. c

he would not do it in the same way donald trump was able to taut his wealth. it is an interesting dynamic that candidates will have to navigate. >> liam you worked at the nrac when you look at the two races are there any interesting, you know, aspects that you would want to call outer for us in thinking about how economic policy unfolds. >> you have to think about the commonnallity that you have with kc brown in particular including this whole class the luckiest group of people that you ever, you know, collected. in 2006. now, at the time the republicans thought it was going to be great. what turned out to be a tremendous one. worked as romney being -- it t was an array on paper, great, flashing everywhere, it was a disaster. setting it back for the majority. heavily swings, this is the first time it sinks back up with it. what does it mean in ohio it means flash forward. the last time he was on the ballot. housing, a fundamental new state. the people oothat trump brings out were the people that stayed home or were okay back with barack obama in 2012. so, brow

sweating in these neighborhoods unless they're in jogging clothes, working out to make their bodies as taut and chiseled as the landscape around them. finally, i turn corner and i see a pickup truck with scratch skin and garden rakes and shovels arranged in the back and another pickup -- and span with a logo sticker on the door that announces the presence of a team of construction workers employed by a family run business with a spanish surname or a landscape business name for a state or city, xico. i see a woman indigenous features with weary eyes walking down the street in her everyday work clothes headed to the bus stop, and i can feel the clean kitchen coters and the scrub faces of the white girls and boys she's left in her wake. at the end of the day, the pickups and the maids file out, taking their mexican and cenal american and caribbean and south american out of these places. and the fleets of bloated suv smiling, bringing in the lord's. of these magnificent properties in the class structure of this country latino role of the latino people is to build the movie set of white perfecti

so but our country is full of these stories and and we have amnesia about it's not tautness schools, you know. and it brings us to another awkward question that we talked about and talked about. what about reparations? all of those stories that you said that are in this book about the injustices that took place after the civil war, after emancipation are pretty stark and pretty def, you know, terrible. so should there be reparations? that's an issue that we're grappling with today. it is. so. so ginger and i had a long conversation about this saturday, and i. and i don't and we ended up saying, yeah, we ended up. well, you know, just to say the obvious, it's complicated. know, how do you make right the injustice is that were inflicted on people long ago who are gone. how do you make that right. maybe in george and carolyn's day, something could have happened to make it right to those folks, but they're all gone. so. but we live in the in the aftermath of it. so how do we make it right for those who still are living in the in the injustice of that? and certainly a part of that has to
