Kaiser, Henry John, (1882 – 1967) was an American industrialist. He organized his first construction company in 1913, soon entered the road-paving business, and by 1930 was a leader in the field. In 1931 he was named chairman of the executive committee of the company formed to build Hoover Dam. He also participated in the construction of Bonneville, Grand Coulee, and Shasta dams and the San Francisco–Oakland Bridge underwater foundations. In 1938, he established the first health maintenance organization, the Kaiser plan, for his shipyard employees; it served more than a million people and became a model for later federal programs. During World War II he managed Pacific coast shipyards that handled a great deal of the wartime shipbuilding for the U. S. government and dramatically increased the speed of ship construction. From 1945 to his death, he served as chairman of Kaiser Industries, an enterprise involving steel, aluminum, and home building.

Some quotations from Kaiser

Nightingale, Florence (1820–1910) was an English nurse and the founder of modern nursing. She was dedicated to the care of the sick and war wounded. In 1854, she organized a unit of 38 women volunteer nurses for service in the Crimean War. By the end of the war she had become a legend. She was called “Lady with the Lamp” because she believed that a nurse’s care should never cease, no matter night or day; she thought that nursing was a noble profession, and she made it so. Florence Nightingale was the first woman to be given the Order of Merit (1907). Once back in London after the war, she founded the Nightingale School and Home for Nurses using money donated in tribute to her services. The school marked the beginning of professional education in the nursing field. Her book Notes on Nursing became the first definitive textbook for the nursing field.

Main idea of his interpretation of night dreams:
1) Dreams express the subconscious mind.2) Dreams are absurd because our conscious mind won’t
acknowledge our subconscious ideas thus disguises them.
3) In our dreams, we return to the modes of thinking of childhood. Our thinking becomes concrete, pictorial and illogical, and expresses ideas and wishes we are no longer conscious of.
