The terracotta figurines from Akragas (Agrigento) with their chubby faces, splendid furniture, and rich adornments, depict a prosperous life in the late sixth and early fifth century BCE. The extensive jewellery on the figurines contains strikingly large fibulae appliques fastening pectoral chains with several sorts of pendants. They are modelled after existing items. The form of the jewellery items changed fast, influenced by different peoples and changing fashions, which can be compared with representations of jewellery and fashion on coins of the same period from Syracuse.In contrast, the body of the figurines remained armless and abstract for some time, nor does it express its gender. The block shaped, sloping upper body might have originated with aniconic objects, but suggests here a seated person, covered with a rectangular apron on the front. In contrast, the face is detailed, and often crowned with a specific headgear, the polos. The Archaic smile reveals Greek influence on its features.An archaeological experiment in which figurines and moulds were reproduced revealed their production process. By combining data from the experiment with an analysis of their iconographic features, most of the figurines studied can be shown to have been designed and produced locally. The moulding technique, introduced by newcomers to the city, provided for relatively cheap and rapid production of terracotta figurines. Local clay and marl are found near to the city, and its composition was found to be very suitable, due to its plasticity, fine structure and soft tone on firing.Wooden figurines, the forerunners of the terracotta figurines, were used in the production of the moulds of their terracotta successors. The terracotta figurines developed to become more three-dimensional, so that they were able to stay upright unsupported. Objects and moulds were exchanged with the city of Selinous, resulting in variations of the standard and figurines with finely detailed faces.Designing and dedicating these votive figurines, and possibly also jewellery, to a cult statue might have acted as a unifying element for the perhaps multi-ethnic society of Akragas. By means of these anthropomorphic female figurines, people gave shape to their origin and narratives, using old and new symbols such as the Phoenician crescent and the Greek satyr. Their cultural influences formed a new religious setting, helping to forge a new identity unique to Sicily. The prosperity expressed by these metal adornments, fits Diodorus Siculus’ description of Akragas as a rich city.

When an ambitious, adventurous gent named Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles 'discovered' the tiny Southeast Asian island of Singapore in 1819, claiming it for the British Crown, he envisioned it as a geographical gateway between East and West. Now an independent citystate, Singapore is considered an Asian economic miracle, still a strategic crossroads, but its position on the map has also garnered bluechip status in the international sex industry. Thanks to the constant influx of business travelers, a floating world exists that few talk about, where beautiful escorts from various countries offer discreet companionship for a price, one not usually proffered in the bars and brothels of Asia. Writer Gerrie Lim investigated this phenomenon and gained access to the secret world of high-priced sex workers. The result is a series of lucid portraits offering insights into this remarkable area of modern commerce. His subjects are women who are lavishly rewarded with money and gifts, some diverging from the oft-trod path to perform kinky services that include whipping and spanking, others being flown to exotic resorts in the company of men with money to burn.He also enters the shadowy domain of gay male escorts and karaoke hostesses, whose views challenge societal norms and question assumptions made about their career choices. The result is a fascinating work of cultural observation, from the vantage point of an eloquent literary voice.
Intrepid journalist and bestselling author Gerrie Lim invites you to join him on an unusual road trip, through his adoptive home town of Los Angeles, California, and its deceptively suburban San Fernando Valley-the ground-zero of the ever-booming, US$12-billion American porn industry. His chronicle spans a ten-year cycle, during which he interviewed adult-film superstars like Jenna Jameson, Jill Kelly and Silvia Saint, shared with Asia Carrera and Annabel Chong mutual thoughts on being Asian in a largely non-Asian field, and filed reportage from film shoots as the 'Cinema Blue' columnist for Penthouse Variations as well as stories about adult Internet technologies as the International Correspondent for AVN Online. Learn firsthand about the curious onstage antics of Jenna Jameson, Ava Vincent, Tabitha Stevens, Tera Patrick, Asia Carrera, Cassidey, Stephanie Swift, Asia Carrera, Annabel Chong, Gwen Summers, Stephanie Swift, Kira Kener, Kobe Tai, Anna Span, Rebecca Lord, Jodie Moore, Kyla Cole, Monica Mayhem and Silvia Saint. This compelling new work combines sizzling elements of sex and celebrity to document a curious and complex world.Enter, then, the perverse universe of the porn star, laced with Lim's candidly offbeat observations and dangerously wry wit.

Greenville was supposed to be quiet. It never is. Devin Green keeps the old mountain hotel running in a ghost town that lives up to its name--especially as the anniversary of the deadly 1800s fire approaches. She swears she'll shut down early this year...until unexpected guests show up. Suspended detective Courtney Rankin arrives hoping to disappear for a week--only to realize Devin is the woman she once shared a wild, anonymous night with in college. Her sister-in-law Kayla insists on staying; the town's haunted history is perfect research for her next novel. At the same time, Gail Moretti and her daughter Katie flee an abusive husband with stolen diamonds they didn't know they had. Lost in the mountains, they're rescued by eighty-one-year-old Bea Jost, who leads them toward Greenville--trailing danger with every step. Molly, the inn's aging keeper, can see the ghosts others can't. And she knows the spirits are split between protecting the living and unleashing another disaster. As the fire's anniversary nears, the veil thins, the past claws forward, and a storm of living and dead converges on Greenville. This year, the town won't go quietly--and neither will the people fighting to survive it.
Focusing on the first nineteen years of Katherine Mansfield’s life, from her birth in 1888 to her arrival in London in 1908 to be a writer, this new biography sheds new light on Mansfield’s childhood and teenage years as well as on her development as a writer. The biography draws extensively on previously unused archive material, including the research papers assembled by Ruth Elvish Mantz for her 1933 biography of Mansfield, detailed reminiscences of former school friends and acquaintances, Mansfield’s autograph book, birthday book, her early letters, notebooks and family papers. Using this rich seam of material, Gerri Kimber explores Mansfield’s home life and school days, her friendships, first infatuations and sexual experimentation both with young men and young women and her travels through the volcanic North Island of New Zealand and examines her earliest published stories which appeared in school magazines. What emerges is a picture of a feisty, mischievous, young girl and an expressive, non-conformist teenager: the unruly Kass Beauchamp who became Katherine Mansfield, the famous modernist writer.
In the myths of legend, the male gods often fill the room with their presence, leaving only a shadowed corner for the goddesses. In Over It, Gerri Leen stretches and molds that corner into an amphitheater, where Hera, Medusa, Eris, Bast, and others step forward at last. Their verses and songs, long yearning to be heard, now echo fiercely in our minds. Lyrical, unflinching, and alive with defiance, this chapbook is a recital of divine women who have had enough.
The world's waters are full of strange and fascinating creatures, from manta rays, piranhas, and electric eels to giant octopuses, squids, and great white sharks. This series brings them all to life with oversize, detailed, full-color illustrations. Each book uses a variety of features, including maps, size comparisons, and "Did You Know?" fact-filled sidebars to highlight interesting facts and little-known details about these remarkable animals.

As well as exploring relevant concepts, the book is fully updated with practical suggestions for addressing the core training requirements of maintaining professional competence, of practising reflectively, ethically and sustainably and of considering the wider social environment, including issues of culture, identity and social justice. This book is an ideal choice for counsellors, psychotherapists, supervisors and trainers who wish to maintain a robust standard of practice, and for those employing them.

This book outlines the history of both Long Beach and its hospitals. Few other California cities can boast of their efforts to keep the public healthy as can Long Beach. Its first inhabitants, the Tongva, insisted on personal and household hygiene. The moment Long Beach became a city in 1897, officials established a board of public health and appointed a public health officer. Consequently, when epidemics struck, the city had fewer causalities. Residents of Long Beach, like most Americans in the early twentieth century, gave birth, treated illness and even underwent surgery at home. Hospitals were considered places for the poor and the severely infirm or places to quarantine contagious disease. The seaside's "perfect climate" was utilized by sanitariums to market relaxation and recuperation. As Long Beach grew, and its medical professionals became more sophisticated, sanitariums became hospitals. First, Long Beach Hospital, then Seaside, followed by St. Mary's, Community and Harriman Jones. Long a destination for retired and active military, Long Beach was also home to two Naval hospitals and one veteran's hospital.

Le pr sent travail traite de l'influence des horaires de travail atypiques sur la participation sociale dans la gastronomie, en tenant compte de la participation sociale aussi bien en dehors qu'au sein du contexte de travail. De plus, l'influence de facteurs individuels a galement t int gr e. Ce travail s'appuie sur une tude autrichienne de Stadler et al. (2020), qui porte sur l'influence des horaires atypiques sur la participation sociale dans d'autres secteurs. En compl ment, des th ories sur les repr sentations sociales des travailleurs ainsi que des th ories issues de la recherche sur la pr carisation et la conciliation ont t mobilis es. Pour r pondre la probl matique de mani re empirique, des entretiens qualitatifs ont t men s avec des employ s de diverses entreprises de gastronomie Graz concernant leurs horaires de travail et l'organisation de leurs loisirs. Comme dans l' tude initiale, il s'est av r que les horaires atypiques entra nent une d synchronisation par rapport au rythme de vie des personnes ayant des horaires de travail normaux, limitant ainsi la participation sociale.
