Amber, Bev, Chantel, Jazmyne, Faith, and Jorgina are six Indigenous women previously involved in street gangs or street lifestyles. In Indigenous Women and Street Gangs they collaborate with Robert Henry (Métis) to share an emancipatory expression of their lives through photovoice. Each author shares a narrative that begins with her earliest memory and continues to the present. This is followed by a selection of photographs the woman took to show how she has changed with her experiences. Readers can expect difficult life stories imbued with hope and humour. Throughout, these women show us the meaning of survivance; a process of survival, resistance, resurgence, and growth. “Don’t ever fucking feel sorry for me. Why do you feel sorry for me? First of all, you shouldn’t feel sorry for me; you should be happy for me because I am here. We’re fucking human beings. We have been through shit, made some bad choices and mistakes. But like I said, in the end, if I want the help, I will ask.” -Chantel “I don’t think there is any such thing as bad; it’s called healing, you know? It is starting to fix yourself inside your heart, you know? You just got to keep doing it, that’s all I got to say.” -Jazmyne

Eric Ambler's first six novels released between 1936 and 1940 quickly established his reputation as a master craftsman of intrigue and espionage narratives. Far less often discussed are the twelve Cold War novels he published, after an eleven-year hiatus as a screenwriter, between 1951 and 1981. This study argues that his entire corpus manifests late modernism's impulse toward a broadly social, political, and cultural critique of the times. Ambler's fiction from the mid-1950s onward is also remarkable for its ludic turn as he assesses the self-deceptions of an increasingly bureaucratized and media-focused world blind to its own follies. In these later works can be seen elements of what has come to be known as postmodernism, though in his commitment to chronicling the juggernaut of modernity he remains a uniquely independent witness of what is now being called the long twentieth century.
På en strengt bevoktet øy utenfor kysten av Virginia ligger en psykiatrisk klinikk som svært få kjenner til. Det er her regjeringen plasserer de agentene de mener ikke er i stand til å vurdere hva som er rett og galt lenger. En av dem er en tidligere ansatt i konsulære operasjoner, Hal Ambler. Han blir tungt medisinert og holdes under strengt oppsyn, langt borte fra de andre pasientene. Men det er en viktig forskjell på Ambler og de andre. Han er verken syk eller har mistet forstanden.På mirakuløst vis og med hjelp fra den unge, vakre sykepleieren Laurel klarer Ambler å unngå medisinering, og til slutt greier han å rømme. Men den verden han kommer tilbake til, er ikke den han husker. Gamle venner og bekjente kjenner ham ikke igjen, og han finner ingen opplysninger om seg selv noe sted. Hal Ambler finnes rett og slett ikke.Med en ukjent fiende i hælene må Ambler avdekke sannheten om seg selv og hva det er han vet som gjør at noen er villig til å risikere alt for få ham slettet fra jordens overflate.
Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782–1871), the most amiable French composer of the 19th century, came to his abilities late in life. After a stalled commercial career, he studied with Cherubini. His first works were not a success, but La Bergère Châteleine (1820), written at the age of 38, established him as an operatic composer. He then met the librettist Eugène Scribe (1791–1861), with whom he developed a working partnership, one of the most successful in musical history, that lasted until Scribe's death. After Le Maçon (1825) and La Muette de Portici (1828), Auber's life was filled with success. In 1829 he was appointed a member of the Institut, in 1839 Director of Concerts at Court, in 1842 Director of the Conservatoire, in 1852 Musical Director of the Imperial Chapel, and in 1861 Grand Officer of the Légion d'Honneur.Auber's famous historical grand opera La Muette de Portici (also known by its hero's name as Masaniello) is a key work in operatic history, and helped to inspire the 1830 revolution in Brussels that led to the separation of Belgium from Holland. Auber himself experienced four French Revolutions (1789, 1830, 1848, 1870). The latter (the Commune) hastened the end of his life. He died on 12 May 1871, at the advanced old age of 89, and in the pitiful conditions of civil strife, after a long and painful illness which worsened during the Siege of Paris. He had refused to leave the city he had always loved despite the dangers and privation, even after his house had been set on fire by the petroleurs et petroleuses. By some irony a mark had been placed against the house of the composer of Masaniello, the very voice of Romantic liberty!Auber's overtures were once known everywhere, a staple of the light Classical repertoire. The influence of his gracious melodies and dance rhythms on piano and instrumental music, and on the genre of Romantic comic opera, especially in Germany, was overwhelming. The operas themselves, apart from Fra Diavolo (1830), have virtually passed out of the repertoire, since Auber's elegant and restrained art now has little appeal for the world of music, attuned as it is to the meatier substance of verismo, high Wagnerian transcendentalism, and 20th-century experimentalism.L'Ambassadrice, an opéra-comique in three acts with libretto by Eugène Scribe, had its first performance at the Opéra-Comique (Salle de la Place de la Bourse) on 21 December 1836.This tale of social intrigue and artistic integrity centres around the lives of two opera singers in Munich, Henriette and Charlotte. Henriette is wooed by the Prussian ambassador, Count Benedict de Valberg, and is persuaded by her aunt, Mme Barnek, a social climber, to accept him. In Berlin, where Henriette awaits the sovereign's consent to the marriage, she and her aunt pass themselves off as Bavarian aristocrats, but when the Munich opera company arrives in Berlin, Charlotte, recognizing her old rival, betrays her. Henriette then finds a compromising note in Charlotte's handwriting addressed to the Count, and vows revenge on both of them. Henriette takes Charlotte's place on the stage, and after the performance, she tears up the marriage contract, vowing to devote her life to the stage rather than to continue aristocratic pretence with an unfaithful husband.This work is one of the composer's best. The libretto is ingenious and charming. The score was written especially for Laure Cinti-Damoreau, and is rich in vocal display, fitting for a prima donna. The original success of this opera was later augmented in 1850 by topical developments, when the famous singer Henriette Sontag left the stage to marry the Sardinian diplomat the Comte de Rossi. The whole scenario is buoyed by the perennial and resonant folk motif of personal victory over challenge, optimally realized in professional success combined with social advancement. The scale and structure of the opera reflects a more intimate dramaturgy. Auber's music is by turns lively, touching, playful and tender. There are some fascinating touches, especially in the variety and subtly demanding nature of the heroine's vocal line.The opera was created by Laure Cinti-Damoreau (Henriette), Jenny Colon (Charlotte), Théodore-Étienne Moreau-Sainti (Valberg), Marie-Julienne Boulanger (Madame Barnek), Roy (Fortunatus), Mlle Mousel (Countess Augusta de Fierschemberg), and Joseph-Antoine-Charles Couderc (Bénédict).L'Ambassadrice was in the repertoire from 1836–73. There were 417 performances altogether, and the work was translated into German, Danish, English, Swedish and Spanish.
"Sicherheitseinrichtungen auslegen" basiert auf ber 20-j hriger Erfahrung in der Auslegung und Berechnung von Sicherheitsventilen, Berstscheiben und elektrischer Sicherungen f r die chemische und petrochemische Industrie. Ferner auf der Erkenntnis, dass es wohl nicht ausreicht, Sicherheitseinrichtungen lediglich auf Basis der gegebenen Regularien auszulegen. Die speziellen Eigenheiten der Sicherungseinrichtungen erfordern h ufig weitergehende Betrachtungen als durch die Regularien vorgegeben. Ziel sollte sein, dass eine Sicherheitseinrichtung auch dann sicher funktioniert, wenn sie denn gebraucht wird. Da es bis heute keine dezidierte Ausbildung f r die Ausleger von Sicherheitseinrichtungen gibt, bleibt nur das langwierige Sammeln von Erfahrungen mit den dann h ufigen Irrungen und Wirrungen. Das Gleiche gilt dann meist auch f r die Pr fer der Auslegung. Diese Schrift soll lediglich dazu dienen, den Ausleger einer Sicherheitseinrichtung zu sensibilisieren und dem Begriff Sicherheitseinrichtung seine berechtigte Bedeutung zu verleihen.
"Der vorliegende Atlas verdankt seine Entstehung der vielf ltigen Anregung, welche die Besch ftigung in der psychiatrischen Klinik in Giessen mir gebracht hat. Es ist unzweifelhaft, dass in der Psychiatrie das Bed rfnis besteht, die komplizierten Krankheitserscheinungen, welche zur Beobachtung gelangen, auf diese oder jene Weise zu einer objektiven Darstellung zu bringen. Gewiss kann vieles durch die einfache Beschreibung wiedergegeben werden. Allein hierbei liegt die Gefahr immer wieder nahe, dass in den wiedergegebenen Beobachtungen ein subjektives Moment zum Ausdruck kommt, welches bei der Beurteilung der Resultate wesentlich ber cksichtigt werden muss. Besonders schwierig liegen die Verh ltnisse bei der Schilderung physiognomischer und mimischer Erscheinungen. Selbst wenn ein Gesichtsausdruck durch l ngere Zeit festgehalten wird, ist es oft beinahe unm glich, alle Feinheiten und besonders alle charakteristischen Innervationen zu beschreiben, ganz abgesehen von denjenigen Geisteskrankheiten, bei welchen Haltung und Ausdruck fortw hrenden Ver nderungen unterworfen sind." Dieser Atlas der Geisteskrankheiten ist ein unver nderter Nachdruck der Originalausgabe von 1902. Illustriert mit ber 100 historischen Abbildungen.
