A victim of an oppression and a sympathizer may have confluences in their narratives anyways but the former may have many words untold. Ebuka, a young Nigerian immigrant, has seen it all. He has just a single goal. it was to make others understand how difficult it is to express certain conditions one finds himself in life. Victims always toll a different line of story from the sympathizers or the oppressors. Ebuka felt that many who argue against the victims are most likely insensitive to their situations. Though sometimes situations are exaggerated, so also some insensitivity are exaggerated too. Some may call it ignorance, but one wonders whether crass ignorance is an excuse. For the young immigrant "It is most annoying arguing with someone who knows exactly what he is talking about. One can tale more of a story because he is involved than another whose sources are not actually internal." Ebuka could not help but appreciate the presentation on TED made by a famous Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, on what she called "The Danger of A Single Story." Adichie has faulted the first tellers of the Story of Africa for transmitting a deflated Story of the African people, which for ages has formed the impression of Africa. First travelers to the coasts of Africa like the London Merchant John Locke, who came to Africa in 1561 and was one of the foundations of how African stories are being told in the Western World, gave a very negative impression of Africa and its people. According to Adichie, John Locke told the story of catastrophe of Africa. He wrote on his travel account that Africans are "beasts who have no houses". He went on to say that some people in Africa have no heads, having their mouths and eyes in their breasts. And this has presented Africa till today with negativity and, especially "Dark Valleys", where it seems to some that nothing good are found. And as Ebuka's friend, Gianluca told him, "the problem of the Africans are their colours". Gianluca said it is second to the "original sin". For some sensitive victims of these narratives, it is always a psychological challenge to deal with. Ebuka knew it was a battle he must help to win. It was a story he must contribute in rewriting. He refused to keep quiet and accept some narratives that do not represent him and his people. But he seemed to be weary of the fact that one does not put off an ocean of fire with a cup of salty water. He sat on a sofa in his living room waiting for his friends. Weekend beckons. The usual reunion with friends is more of a pleasure than tortures of thoughts that kept protruding in his mind. But he can't help it. It is part of life anyways.

In un'era immaginaria, dove il Medioevo accoglie il Rinascimento in ritardo di secoli, a Valtakunta, il regno della stregoneria, la tecnologia agli albori. Tulipalo uno stregone molto abile e potente, ma riserva molti dubbi sulla vera validit della stregoneria classica. La considera troppo legata a simbolismi e conveniente solo ad una lite di persone. Dubbi condivisi con la Famiglia Reale, che reduci da una lunga e difficile ripresa dall'ultima Guerra degli Stregoni, pi propensa allo sviluppo tecnologico. Ma non tutti gli Stregoni del Regno concorderanno con questa condotta e faranno di tutto per sovvertire il Re. La battaglia sar senza esclusione di colpi e solo l'elevazione della stregoneria ad un livello superiore permetter a Tulipalo di contrastare efficacemente i suoi avversari.Il romanzo ispirato ai personaggi di un famoso gioco elettronico, come si deduce dalla seguente cronaca.L'orda di scheletri, armati di spada, che da qualche giorno tenta di invadere il castello reale, crea non pochi grattacapi a Re di Valtakunta, Mustaparta. Ma lui, dall'alto della sua torretta, sembra quasi divertirsi a sparare a quei piccoli guerrieri. Tocca quindi al Principe Panssari e al suo fidato Stregone del fuoco Tulipalo organizzare una spedizione per riuscire a capire chi sia l'artefice degli incantesimi di guerra, perpetrati contro il loro castello.Radunano, quindi, una piccola brigata di guerrieri per raggiungere Maagisesti, dove risiede la strega Noita, che ancora sembra riservare rancore nei confronti del Re. Il gruppo formato da due arciere gemelle, una Valchiria con la sua affilata ascia, la guerriera col moschetto Sulka e la Principessa Nummi, anch'essa abile arciera, col potere delle frecce infuocate.Non poche difficolt incontrer la brigata nel raggiungere Maagisesti. Il nemico riserver loro brutte sorprese, che mai si erano viste nel regno di Valtakunta. Goblin, sgherri, draghi sputa fuoco, golem di ghiaccio e di roccia, scheletri giganti con appreso enormi bombe, bombaroli a terra e su mongolfiere e spiriti guerrieri, provvisti di una spessa armatura, saranno solo alcune delle perfide creature che incontreranno. Ma anche scellerati incantesimi, come palle di fuoco, scariche elettriche e spiriti infuocati.Fortunatamente, durante tutto il viaggio, alla brigata si aggregheranno altri valorosi guerrieri, dediti alla loro causa. Tra loro ci sar Musta, il Principe nero, il cavaliere di vecchia scuola Miekka, un gigante buono, un minatore dalla pala affilata un boia con l'ascia volante e molti altri. A loro supporto ci saranno le miracolose pozioni di Tulipalo, che, usate con astuzia, gli permetteranno di sopraffare gli attacchi nemici. Come l'incantesimo della duplicazione, o quello dello specchio magico, nonch la pozione della guarigione. Avranno a disposizione, inoltre, i sofisticati macchinari tecnologici (per l'epoca), che le varie provincie metteranno loro a disposizione. Come l'enorme balestra di Rakentaminen o il piccolo cannone del gigante Vaalea.Il viaggio verso Maagisesti iniziato. Aggregati alla brigata e vivi anche tu questa meravigliosa avventura.

In 1971, after several years of political protesting, investigating Western, Eastern and occult philosophies, frolicking with marijuana and experimenting with LSD, Simon Bishop was exasperated with the oligarchic US government and the unjustifiable war in Vietnam. He flung himself into a 'self-imposed exile', migrating to New Zealand. He was soon followed by Heron, his best friend and fellow explorer into new mental and spiritual realms. The narrator, Heron, as well recounting some entertaining stories of his own wanderings, relates how Simon completed his transformation into Bartooth, a meandering hippy jester. With his guitar strapped to his back and his sometimes-travelling-companion, Zoroaster the kitten, riding on his shoulder, Bartooth hitch hiked all over the country, lived in backwater communes, performed in music festivals, testified (that is, performed) in courtroom drug-busting trials, and eventually settled into a serious quest for spiritual bliss. After participating in several Eastern spiritual/ meditation groups, he found a form of meditation that enables him to find real equanimity.OutRAGEous: them wild manic hippy years is a humorous fictional memoir about an exceptional, charismatic personality. Set half in California and half in New Zealand, OutRAGEous is a collection of funny, entertaining stories that reflect the trends of the 60s and 70s: political protest, experimentation with drugs, unrestrained love affairs, new forms of music, the back-to-the-land/ commune movement, spiritual exploration, etc.

The tubular welded joints used in the construction of offshore structures can experience millions of variable amplitude load cycles during their service life. Such fatigue loading represents a main cause of degradation in these structures. As a result, fatigue is an important consideration in their design. Fatigue and Fracture Mechanisms of Offshore Structures present novel research and the results of wave-induced stress on the operational life of offshore structures. Containing results of an investigation undertaken to assess the fatigue and fracture performance of steels used in the offshore industry, Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of Offshore Structures includes, Stress analysis of tubular jointsFatigue designFatigue loading in Jackup structuresJack-up dynamic responseModelling of wave loadingTest specimen considerationsThe stress intensity factor conceptVariable amplitude crack growth modelsConsideration of sequence effectsSea state probability model The important research in this book will be of interest to those dealing with a wide range of engineering structures - from bridges and buildings to masts and pipelines, as well as fatigue and fracture specialists, and those concerned with materials technology.

This book explores the extent to which the International Criminal Court (ICC) has influenced peace processes in Co?te d’Ivoire, Kenya and Uganda. It examines how the prosecution of those who bear the greatest responsibility for crimes committed in these countries may have negatively or positively influenced the process of making peace in their wake. It is concerned with how international accountability affects post-conflict countries and what the ICC brings to peace processes. The central question addressed by the book is whether justice spurs peace in post- conflict societies or whether justice complicates the peace process. If so, how? Relying on qualitative studies in these countries, this book comparatively analyses the impact of the interventions of the ICC in Uganda (2004), Kenya (after the 2007/2008 post-election violence), and Co?te d’Ivoire. Its aim is to provide an evidence-based account of how the involvement of the ICC in these countries influences the processes of promoting peace. To gauge this, Malu develops an analytical framework which is based on four variables: deterrence, victims’ rights, reconciliation and accountability to the law. This book will appeal to those interested in post-conflict reconstruction, transitional justice, peace studies, conflict transformation, and international criminal law, including peace practitioners and those working in the field of international justice.
