Vanhaa kotimaista chick litiä! Salme Setälän Arpalippu kertoo arkkitehti Irma Saareksesta, joka asuu kimppakämpässä eikä seurustele - ainakaan vielä. Kepeään ja mannermaiseen tyyliin kirjoitettu kirja on esimerkki aikansa nuorille naisille suunnatusta humoristisesta viihdekirjallisuudesta. Arpalippu ilmestyi alun perin vuonna 1926, ja harvinaiseksi antikvariaattien aarteeksi tullut kirja julkaistaan nyt ensimmäistä kertaa uudestaan. Esipuheen teokseen on kirjoittanut kirjailija Laura Honkasalo, joka on tutkinut 1920- ja 1930-lukujen naisten viihdekirjallisuutta.

At the beginning of the common era, the two major imperial powers of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East were Rome and Parthia. In this book, Jake Nabel analyzes Roman-Parthian interstate politics by focusing on a group of princes from the Arsacid family—the ruling dynasty of Parthia—who were sent to live at the Roman court. Although Roman authors called these figures “hostages” and scholars have studied them as such, Nabel draws on Iranian and Armenian sources to argue that the Parthians would have seen them as the emperor’s foster-children. These divergent perspectives allowed each empire to perceive itself as superior to the other, since the two sides interpreted the exchange of royal children through conflicting cultural frameworks. Moving beyond the paradigm of great powers in conflict, The Arsacids of Rome advances a new vision of interstate relations with misunderstanding at its center.
Civilization's demands for electricity continue to grow, yet environmental, regulatory, and economic constraints often preclude the construction of new power plants and transmission lines. The challenge now faced by engineers, equipment manufacturers, and regulatory agencies is to find ways to maximize the capacity of existing power lines. Powerline Ampacity System is the first step in meeting that challenge. Along with developing a complete theory of transmission line ampacity, the author uses object-oriented modeling and expert rules to build a power line ampacity system. He describes new transmission line conductor technologies and power electronics FACTS devices that can take full advantage of a dynamic line rating system. He offers examples that clearly show the economic benefit of operating an interconnected transmission network that has a diverse mix of electricity generation sources. He also discusses - with examples - generator stability enhancement by dynamic line rating.
Dios hace lo que sea necesario para llamar nuestra atención. ¿Hasta dónde quieres que llegue Dios para conseguir la tuya?No respondas demasiado rápido. ¿Qué pasaría si Dios te trasladara a otra tierra? (como hizo con Abraham). ¿Qué pasaría si te llamara a salir de tu retiro? (¿recuerdas a Moisés?). ¿Qué tal la voz de un ángel o las entrañas de un pez? (Gedeón y Jonás). Dios hace lo que sea necesario para llamar nuestra atención. Ese es el mensaje de este libro: la búsqueda incesante de Dios.A Gentle ThunderGod does what it takes to get our attention. How far do you want God to go to get yours?Don't answer too quickly. What if God moved you to another land? (As He did Abraham.) What if He called you out of retirement? (Remember Moses?) How about the voice of an angel or the bowel of a fish (Gideon and Jonah.) God does what it takes to get our attention. That's the message of this book: the relentless pursuit of God.

This memoir traces Arpaio's journey from his early days as a young army recruit during the Korean War through his groundbreaking work with the DEA, where he spearheaded major drug enforcement operations across the globe. But it's his 24-year tenure as Maricopa County Sheriff that forms the heart of this compelling narrative, where he transformed a local law enforcement office into a national symbol of tough-on-crime policies. Arpaio provides an unflinching look at the political controversies that have surrounded his career, offering his side of events that have sparked national debates.

Written for anyone interested in law enforcement, political leadership, or American justice, this is the definitive account of a lawman who has left an indelible mark on American policing. About the AuthorJoe Arpaio's journey from a young Army recruit to "America's Toughest Sheriff" embodies a lifetime of dedication to law enforcement and public service. Born to Italian immigrants, Arpaio's commitment to serving his country began at age 18 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army at the outbreak of the Korean War, setting the foundation for what would become a legendary career in law enforcement. Following his military service, Arpaio distinguished himself as a police officer in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, Nevada, before joining the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (later the DEA). During his 26-year tenure with the DEA, he became one of the agency's most accomplished agents, conducting operations from Turkey to Mexico and establishing himself as a pioneer in drug enforcement strategies. His most famous role began in 1993 when he was elected Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Over his 24-year tenure, Arpaio transformed the office with innovative-and often controversial-programs that gained national attention. His unique approach to law enforcement and jail management, including the creation of tent city jails and chain gangs, made him a household name and earned him both fierce critics and devoted supporters. Known for his straightforward communication style and unwavering stance on law enforcement issues, Arpaio has appeared on thousands of television programs, been featured in international media outlets, and continues to be a prominent voice in national discussions about crime, immigration, and public safety.
Vergiler en iyi kamu geliri olarak kabul edilir. Ancak T rkiye'de vergi gelirleri kamu harcamalarını karşılamaktan uzaktır. Vergi gelirlerinin artırılması, devletin bor y k n n ve beraberindeki faiz y k n n azaltılmasına yardımcı olacaktır. Bunu sağlamak her zaman yeni vergiler koyarak m mk n değildir. Bu y zden d nyada ge mişte rnekleri olan uygulamaların T rkiye i in de m mk n olup olamayacağının değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu alışma; -vergi indirimleri yoluyla, zellikle y ksek vergiler nedeniyle kayıt altına alınamamış kaynaklara ulaşmayı, -vergi ka ıranları koruyan d zenlemelerin n ne nasıl ge ileceği -vergi hasılatının vergi tabanı genişletilerek artırılması ile ilgili y ntemleri araştırmaktır. Temel olarak vergilerde indirimleri neren arz iktisadının, bu yolla vergi tabanının genişlemesine katkıda bulunacağı d ş n lmektedir. Bu sayede vergi y k n n daha adaletli ve dengeli dağılımı sağlanabilecek ve m kellefler i in vergi y k hafifleyecektir. Bir başka deyişle vergi y k n k k bir kesime y ksek bir oranla y klemek yerine, b t n m kelleflere dağıtarak her birinden daha az oran ve miktarda, ama hepsinden vergi alınmasının daha adil olacağı d ş n lmektedir.
