This book examines how American foreign policy and the commercial film industry's economic interests influenced the portrayal of international terrorism in Hollywood blockbuster films from the time of the Iran hostage crisis to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Part I provides a historical overview of modern international terrorism and how it relates to the United States, its news media, and its film industry. Part II covers depictions of terrorism during the Cold War under President Reagan, including films like Commando and Iron Eagle. Part III covers the Hollywood terrorist after the Cold War, including European terrorists in the Die Hard franchise, Passenger 57, Patriot Games, Blown Away, The Jackal and Ronin; fundamentalist Islamic terrorists in True Lies and Executive Decision; the return of the communist threat in Air Force One; and 9/11 foreshadowing in The Siege.
Ragel Naude het naam gemaak as kunstenares, maar sy werk nie meer nie. Sy is nog lief vir haar man, sy het hom nodig, maar kan nie na hom uitreik nie. Sy is depressief en getraumatiseer na die dood van hul kleuterseuntjie. Sy stry teen God, niks maak meer saak nie, behalwe die herinnering aan sy kort lewetjie. Sy en Stephan dryf uitmekaar, Tienie, wat soos 'n moeder vir haar is, kan nie meer tot haar deurdring nie, ook nie haar beste vriendin, Anke nie. Sy lig nie meer 'n potlood of 'n kwas op nie, sy maak nie huis skoon nie, sy gaan nie meer haarkapper toe of winkels toe nie, sy versorg haarself nie meer nie. Maar sy word gedwing om tandarts toe te gaan en daar in die spreekkamer waar sy die eerste keer in maande tussen ander mense sit en luister na hulle gesprekke, besef sy dat sy iets moet doen aan haar willose bestaan. Terug by die huis vat sy hier en daar en gooi goed in tasse en bokse, laai haar kar vol en kies koers sonder om vir iemand te se dat sy weggaan. Vir haar man los sy 'n briefie dat hy haar nie moet soek nie, want sy is weg om haarself te gaan soek. Ragel beland op 'n klein dorpie waar sy met erger verdriet as haar eie te doen kry. Sy ontmoet 'n vrou wie se dogtertjie verkrag en vermoor is en wat net soos sy nie kan ophou treur nie. Geleidelik leer die twee vroue wat die sin van lyding is en hoe God in Jesus kan troos.
Terwyl die 17-jarige Marta se pa in haar arms sterf, vra hy haar om na haar ma om te sien. Sy vertolk hierdie belofte letterlik en verlaat die skool. Marta verwerf 'n diploma in haarkappery en begin 'n haarsalon in haar tuisdorp, sodat sy haar ma kan versorg. Mettertyd kring haar dienslewering wyer uit: na die ouetehuis in Lambertsbaai en werk by die kerk. Sy en haar Ma het 'n roetine van Bybellees en bid in die aand, maar dis net nog 'n plig en hul gebede steek vas by afgerammelde rympies. Sy neem haar kort-kort voor om haar lewe beter in te rig, maar dit gebeur nie. Eendag word dit alles te veel vir haar - die dag toe haar blinde bewondering vir Deon Swanepoel haar in groot verleentheid bring. Dit is Marta se verhaal en hoe sy uit 'n web van pligpleging, onderdrukking, skewe waardes en onmoontlike drome bevry word. Hierdie treffende verhaal van onvervulde drome, lee werke en liefdelose pligplegings wat geen bevrediging bring nie, maar net hartseer en verwyte, wys dat alles omgedraai kan word wanneer mense tyd maak vir Jesus. Deur sy vergifnis en sy liefde te aanvaar, kan jy met dankbaarheid die toekoms tegemoet gaan.
On a blizzardy morning in 1892, fifty armed men surrounded the cabin on Powder River where two cattle rustlers had spent the night. The first rustler was shot as he came down the path for a bucket of water. The second man held out until afternoon, when the vigilantes set the cabin afire. Driven out by the flames, he was shot a dozen times. It was another skirmish in the War on Powder River.The War began to smolder in 1875 and at stake was nothing less than dominion over the new state of Wyoming. Cattlemen demanded control of the range. Farmers denounced the "invasion from Texas" as more and more hired gunmen moved into the state. Threats, counter-threats, and legal maneuvers were soon accompanied by shooting and the noose.
A growing body of medical research suggests that many medical tests used for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring response to treatment are unnecessary or inappropriate, yield inaccurate or misleading results, and add to the incidence of iatrogenic disease. Many such tests go into common clinical use without convincing documentation of their value because current methods for evaluating medical tests produce inconsistent results. Evaluating Medical Tests presents a systematic, objective methodology by which to determine the effectiveness of medical tests. Kraemer clearly and concisely shows how to define statistical terms and approaches consistently from study to study, how to stipulate statistical assumptions underlying various approaches, how to check for empirical validity, and how to judge the robustness of statistical outcomes, resulting in models that integrate many different approaches and extend the strengths of each. Statisticians, evaluators, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advanced students concerned with the evaluation of medical tests used to make clinical decisions for patient care and for research will find this essential, thought-provoking reading. "This volume is a pleasure to read. It succinctly combines carefully reasoned conceptualization with the mathematical methods for addressing test evaluation problems. With clinically relevant, illustrative examples, it draws on the author's extensive experience and research in biomedical statistics. It should be required reading for medical students and practitioners. It is invaluable to researchers and statisticians, and it provides a logical, scientific basis for efforts at medical cost containment. It is a classic! --from the Foreword by A. John Rush, M.D. "This fascinating book integrates a wide range of statistical and methodological concepts, reflects a thorough introduction to the issues confronted by evaluators of [medical] tests, and challenges motivated readers to adopt these procedures in their own research. This is an exciting book, with obvious strong policy implications concerning the way that [medical] tests are evaluated and the need for standards in this regard. . . . Evaluating Medical Tests should be of interest to all professionals who depend on tests as an adjunct in the decision-making process." --Paul R. Yarnold Northwestern University Medical School "Dr. Kraemer has undertaken a most massive and laudable task in writing Evaluating Medical Tests. . . . Dr. Kraemer's book stands as a flagship for those concerned to understand the reasons behind our escalating health care costs and the implications this holds for every American. . . . This leads us to one of the innovative features of Dr. Kraemer's book: 'This is not merely a statistical issue, or merely a medical issue, it is a national policy issue of the greatest importance.'. . . She does not assume that her readers are either statisticians or physicians. As such, she skillfully guides one through the terrain of medical and statistical jargon and points our where the assumptions of the statistics are either not stipulated or incongruent with the medical test and data being evaluated, thus rendering results and interpretations suspect. Another plus of Dr. Kraemer's writing is her willingness to use '. . . the first person singular to differentiate . . . comments from presentations of what I would consider provable or documentable facts. . . ' In so doing, she raised issues and calls medical professionals, policymakers, and patients into dialogue to consider the impact of the use of these various techniques in diagnosis. . . . Evaluating Medical Tests is of specific relevance to rehabilitation counselors who proceed with their clients through the maze of diagnostic and prognostic tests. . . . It is especially important for rehabilitation counselors who act as expert witnesses to have a working knowledge of this material to enhance their discussions with health care personnel." --Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling
In this reference, Buffery and Marcer cover all of the areas historically inhabited by the Catalan people. These are, in order of size and population: Catalonia, which accounts for over half of the population of the Catalan-speaking areas; Valencia, with over a third; the Balearic Islands with just under 8 percent; and the Catalunya Nord, the Principality of Andorra, and the Catalan-speaking areas within Aragon, Murcia, and Alghero. The Historical Dictionary of the Catalans deals not only with the people who live in Catalonia, but with the language and culture of the Catalan countries as well. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics.
The status of women in the ancient Judaism of the Hebrew Bible and Rabbinic texts has long been a contested issue. What does being a Jewess entail in antiquity? Men in ancient Jewish culture are defined primarily by what duties they are expected to perform, the course of action that they take. The Jewess, in contrast, is bound by stricture. Writing on the formation and transformation of the ideology of female Jewishness in the ancient world, Zlotnick places her treatment in a broad, comparative, Mediterranean context, bringing in parallels from Greek and Roman sources. Drawing on episodes from the Hebrew Bible and on Midrashic, Mishnaic, and Talmudic texts, she pays particular attention to the ways in which they attempt to determine the boundaries of communal affiliation through real and perceived differences between Israelites, or Jews, on one hand and non-Israelites, or Gentiles, on the other. Women are often associated in the sources with the forbidden, and foreign women are endowed with a curious freedom of action and choice that is hardly ever shared by their Jewish counterparts. Delilah, for instance, is one of the most autonomous women in the Bible, appearing without patronymic or family ties. She also brings disaster. Dinah, the Jewess, by contrast, becomes an agent of self-destruction when she goes out to mingle with gentile female friends. In ancient Judaism the lessons of such tales were applied as rules to sustain membership in the family, the clan, and the community. While Zlotnick's central project is to untangle the challenges of sex, gender, and the formation of national identity in antiquity, her book is also a remarkable study of intertextual relations within the Jewish literary tradition.
When a woman in the United States becomes pregnant or tries to become pregnant, she enters a world of information, technology, and expertise. Suddenly her body becomes public in a new way: medicine, law, and popular culture all offer her sometimes contradictory "expert" advice. Confinements explores the advice offered to pregnant and infertile women by examining assumptions about femininity, class, and the reproductive body that structure the language of expertise. Even advice books written from a specifically countercultural or feminist point of view often attempt to police the way women think about their bodies.Confinements argues that our perceptions about both pregnancy and infertility are limited by our culture's battles over the meaning of choice and control, arguments over what is natural or unnatural, and the troubled relationship between reproduction and the domestic sphere. The book breaks new ground in its analysis of gender, health, and reproduction.
