This book analyzes the interactions of international criminal tribunals established since the 1990s with international, national and regional bodies, making recommendations for the International Criminal Court (ICC) as it goes forward. Placing the core issues within the statutory framework of the Rome Statute and major policy considerations, the authors examine ways in which the ICC can best coordinate with other accountability mechanisms on national and regional prosecutions, the UN Security Council, cooperation on the enforcement of arrest warrants, national non-judicial processes and amicus briefs from non-governmental organizations (NGOs).This timely evaluation of the experiences of the ad hoc international criminal tribunals spotlights the legal, political and coordination issues that will likely impact the ICC's current mandate to adjudicate core international crimes. It explores how governments, inter-governmental bodies and global civil society might best collaborate to strengthen national capacity to investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes in pursuit of global justice. The book also considers the challenge of state cooperation with international criminal tribunals, identifying lessons for the ICC, while emphasizing the need for positive complementarity between the emerging African Criminal Court and the ICC. Lawyers, judges, NGOs, government officials, academics, and policy makers at all levels will value this book as an important resource on transitional justice and the place of justice in the aftermath of conflict and mass atrocity.

This is the first of four volumes that present the results from the University of Cincinnati's archaeological excavations of the Porta Stabia neighborhood at Pompeii. These excavations targeted two town blocks on either side of the via Stabiana (insulae VIII.7 and I.1), which comprised modest houses, shops, workshops, food and drink outlets, and hospitality buildings. The present volume describes and documents the phased, structural development of this neighborhood over several centuries. The earliest discernible activity here dates to the 6th century BCE, with the insulae taking their definitive shape only in the 2nd century BCE. It is from this time that production activities dominate the neighborhood, only to be wholly replaced by retail-oriented street-fronts from the early 1st century CE. Underpinning this narrative of urban development is a focus on the social and structural making of the Porta Stabia neighborhood, along with an interest in both the micro- (urban site formation processes) and macro-contextualization of the site (setting the results within a larger historic and urban framework).
Hesperia Supplement, Volume 55 Since its excavation in the 1970s, the East Field at Isthmia has been dismissed as a jumble of poorly built houses, marginal to the sanctuary proper. Except for a few small-scale excavations and a handful of studies, the site and its excavation data have sat largely neglected ever since. Now, following a reanalysis of this legacy data and a survey of the standing remains, this volume presents the first comprehensive study of the East Field’s architectural and spatial development. Using an innovative method to extract stratigraphic data from outmoded and incomplete sources, the authors disentangle the maze of walls into identifiable structures, setting these within a phased narrative connected to the site’s broader history. The results overturn decades of assumptions, revealing substantial structures central to the sanctuary, some possibly corresponding to buildings otherwise known only from inscriptions: the Stoa of Regulus, the Kataluseis of P. Licinius Priscus Iuventianus, and the final site of the Palaimon sanctuary. Additional structures document activity between the 3rd and the 5th centuries CE unattested elsewhere on the site. The East Field at Isthmia offers a radically new understanding of this neglected area of Isthmia and its relation to the sanctuary; along the way, it both encourages archaeologists to revisit long-abandoned excavation data and provides a road map for doing so.

101 Ways to get even with Steven...or whoever crapped on your life is a funny, witty and timeless book that will make your tears turn to laughter and your anger into satisfaction.
This textbook focuses on practical parallel C++ programming at the graduate student level. In particular, it shows the APIs and related language features in the C++ 17 and C++ 20 standards, covering both single node and distributed systems. It shows that with the parallel features in the C++ 17 and C++ 20 standards, learning meta-languages like OpenMP is no longer necessary. Using the C++ standard library for parallelism and concurrency (HPX), the same language features can be extended to distributed codes, providing a higher-level C++ interface to distributed programming than the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The book starts with the single-threaded implementation of the fractal sets, e.g. Julia set, and Mandelbrot set, using the C++ Standard Library (SL)’s container and algorithms. This code base is used for parallel implementation using low-level threads, asynchronous programming, parallel algorithms, and coroutines. The asynchronous programming examples are then extended to distributed programming using the C++ standard library for parallelism and concurrency (HPX). Octo-Tiger, an astrophysics code for stellar merger, is used as a showcase for a portable, efficient, and scalable high-performance application using HPX. The book’s core audience is advanced undergraduate and graduate students who want to learn the basics of parallel and distributed C++ programming but are not computer science majors. Basic C++ knowledge, like functions, classes, loops, and conditional statements, is assumed as a requirement, while C++ advanced topics, like generic programming, lambda functions, smart pointers, and move semantics, are briefly summarized in the appendix.
Visual explorations inspired by Leonard Cohen, Dylan Thomas, Winsor McCay and others to reflect the anxieties, uncertainties, and daily observations from the distinct imagination of Mirko Ilic. In 2020, New York-based artist and designer Mirko Ilic started drawing self-contained single-page stories created to reflect the mood of an unprecedented time. He called this collection “After Covid 2020” or “A.C. 2020”. Ilic continued to create these visual essays even as the lockdowns slowly lifted, channelling his anxieties and observations into striking and surreal images that combine personal imagination with motifs and inspiration from music, fine art, comics, and more. Shocking and provocative, captivating and meditative, this sequence of illustrations paints a unique picture of a man’s inner turmoil amidst a crumbling world. Nightmares and Daydreams: A.C. 2020 is a testament to both a period of unprecedented upheaval and the stunning talent of its award-winning author.
C. S. Lewis, based on the popularity of his books and essays, is one of the best communicators of the twentieth century. During his lifetime he was hailed for his talents as author, speaker, educator, and broadcaster; he continues to be a best-selling author more than a half-century after his death. C. S. Lewis and the Craft of Communication analyzes Lewis’s communication skill. A comprehensive review of Lewis’s work reveals five communication principles that explain his success as a communicator. Based on Lewis’s own advice about communication in his books, essays, and letters, as well as his communication practice, being a skilled communicator is to be holistic, intentional, transpositional, evocative, and audience-centered. These five principles are memorably summarized by the acronym HI TEA. Dr. Steven Beebe, past president of the National Communication Association and an internationally-recognized communication author and educator, uses Lewis’s own words to examine these five principles in a most engaging style.

To refer to Steven Seagal as a "fake" is not an insult once you realize two things: (1) negative publicity is still publicity and he feeds on his "bad boy by any means necessary" persona and (2) the definition of the word "fake." When something is fake it is "not genuine or counterfeit." When you read about how Seagal got to where he got to and the lies he told to make it appear as if he was some kind of "guru," then you realize that the word "fake" fits him like a glove. You can tell when a man is great by this: say his name and everybody recognizes it, smiles and has good memories of him. Bruce Lee, born Lee Jun-fan was considered by many to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time. The fact that he died at age 33 speaks even more to his long-time commitment and work ethic as he is known as the founder of the martial art Jeet Kune Do. These are the types of facts and foundations that justify labeling a man like this as being "fantastic." This book focuses on Bruce Lee and his role in the movie "Enter the Dragon," which may well be the best martial arts movie of all time. In that analysis I concentrate on the racial relationships that the film attempted to portray by adding a white novice, John Saxon and a black martial arts expert, Jim Kelly. It is the view of this writer that the multi-racial experiment was a failure. The saving grace of the movie was the presence and on-going spectacular fight scenes that featured the one-and-only Bruce Lee. Seagal, as this book clearly shows, burst onto the scene with an incredible skill set, mainly consisting of Aikido. This book offers that after his first four mega-hits - "Above the Law," "Hard to Kill," "Marked for Death" and "Out for Justice," Seagal's career petered off even as his waistline increased and his obvious consumption of mayonnaise sandwiches probably reached world record proportions. This book also makes it clear that one man (Lee) was an original, a leader and an iconoclast. The other man (Seagal) is a chameleon, attempting to sound and act Italian at one point, and once he was introduced to black rappers, began to try to sound and even walk "like a black man" (his words). Clad in black gear including oversized black leather coats that he wears even in tropical weather, Seagal has found it easier to cover and hide his girth rather than to work it off. Bruce Lee, on the other hand, viewed the body as a temple and probably had less than 2% body fat. Bruce Lee and Steven Seagal, both martial artists but in almost every other respect, as different as night and day. Seagal has had and has exploited the benefit of "white privilege" and in the process, did what he had to do to get what he wants. Bruce worked hard and struggled and used his skill set to bring attention to Chinese culture in general and the martial art of Kung Fu, in particular. Many say that the comparison is akin to comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps this would be a better argument had not Bruce Lee been the best - ever. And because of that lofty achieved status, the "ascribed" status of Steven Seagal is often mistakenly compared and contrasted with that of the hard-working Lee. Seagal's race, contacts, network and "I'll-do-anything-to-be-a-star" approach to life is the key to his meteoric rise to movie stardom. All Bruce had was his skill set, belief system, cultural commitment and love for people. In America Seagal's way is the typical winner and people like Bruce usually end up finishing last. Most of Seagal's movies are also reviewed and analyzed. Enjoy the book.
