Welcome to another session with me wherein I take in a new couple as clients. A particular session where it is upto you to decide who is the actual client, but there is no doubt as to who is the slave. Having clients, or rather slaves who are not there on their own free will, and are awaiting a surprise make the experience overtly riveting. Usually, it is about the needs of the slave, but when the client is not the slave, it becomes more about the client's needs rather than the slave's, and an apology is long overdue. My slaves come in all shapes and sizes, with different kinks and fetishes, but there rarely are those who have their session decided by someone else. This one is about Alan and Rita, and their unorthodox definition of punishment, and it really is a captivating one. My slaves make my job the best job in the world and this is my gift - THE GIFT OF BEING A DOMINATRIX.

Kokemus osallisuudesta ja elämän merkityksellisyydestä syntyy vuorovaikutuksessa muiden ihmisten kanssa. Yhteisöllisyys ja tunne ryhmään kuulumisesta vahvistavat myös muita elämän osa-alueita. Nuorille suunnatun Osallistava ja liikunnallinen teatteri -hankkeen harrastusryhmissä yhdistettiin kulttuuria ja liikuntaa rennolla tavalla. Tässä teoksessa kuvataan, kuinka nuoret löysivät itsestään uusia puolia ja vahvuuksia sekä heittäytyivät mukaan ryhmätoimintaan. Nuorten parissa työskenteli teatteri- ja liikunta-alan ammattilaisia, ja ryhmätoiminnan keskiössä oli toiminnallisuus, itseilmaisu sekä toisen kohtaaminen. Julkaisu on suunnattu etenkin nuorisoalan ammattilaisille, mutta myös kaikille nuorten osallisuuden tukemisesta kiinnostuneille. Teos sisältää myös toiminnallisia harjoituksia, jotka sopivat nuorten kanssa työskentelyyn esimerkiksi ryhmäytymistilanteissa tai improvisaatioharjoituksissa sekä tunteiden tutkimisen tueksi. Teos on Osallistava ja liikunnallinen teatteri -hankkeen loppujulkaisu. Vuosina 2016-2019 toiminutta hanketta koordinoi Diakonia-ammattikorkeakoulu, ja osatoteuttajina olivat Kainuun Liikunta ry, Kajaanin kaupunginteatteri, Loisto setlementti ry, Q-teatteri ry ja WAU ry. Hanke sai rahoitusta Euroopan sosiaalirahastolta.
Late-Antique Studies in Memory of Alan Cameron
BRILL
2021
sidottu
The classicist and historian Alan Cameron (1938-2017) was, among other achievements, one of the scholars who most contributed to the refoundation of late-antique studies. In this tribute W. V. Harris and Anne Hunnell Chen have brought together fourteen contributions that cover a broad range of historical, literary, and art-historical topics, running from the first century AD to the ninth. Some contributions concern Cameron’s own favourite themes (the Greek Anthology, the Historia Augusta, circus factions, the transmission of texts), while others seek to assess his work and its impact. Other papers branch out from his concerns to discuss slavery, simony, and hospitals. Fourth- and fifth-century writers are often to the fore and the volume includes a new text by the poet Dioscoros of Aphrodite.

The Man Who Knew: The Life and Times of Alan Greenspan

"Exceptional . . . Deeply researched and elegantly written . . . As a description of the politics and pressures under which modern independent central banking has to operate, the book is incomparable." --Financial Times The definitive biography of the most important economic statesman of our time, from the bestselling author of The Power Law and More Money Than God Sebastian Mallaby's magisterial biography of Alan Greenspan, the product of over five years of research based on untrammeled access to his subject and his closest professional and personal intimates, brings into vivid focus the mysterious point where the government and the economy meet. To understand Greenspan's story is to see the economic and political landscape of our time--and the presidency from Reagan to George W. Bush--in a whole new light. As the most influential economic statesman of his age, Greenspan spent a lifetime grappling with a momentous shift: the transformation of finance from the fixed and regulated system of the post-war era to the free-for-all of the past quarter century. The story of Greenspan is also the story of the making of modern finance, for good and for ill. Greenspan's life is a quintessential American success story: raised by a single mother in the Jewish migr community of Washington Heights, he was a math prodigy who found a niche as a stats-crunching consultant. A master at explaining the economic weather to captains of industry, he translated that skill into advising Richard Nixon in his 1968 campaign. This led to a perch on the White House Council of Economic Advisers, and then to a dazzling array of business and government roles, from which the path to the Fed was relatively clear. A fire-breathing libertarian and disciple of Ayn Rand in his youth who once called the Fed's creation a historic mistake, Mallaby shows how Greenspan reinvented himself as a pragmatist once in power. In his analysis, and in his core mission of keeping inflation in check, he was a maestro indeed, and hailed as such. At his retirement in 2006, he was lauded as the age's necessary man, the veritable God in the machine, the global economy's avatar. His memoirs sold for record sums to publishers around the world. But then came 2008. Mallaby's story lands with both feet on the great crash which did so much to damage Alan Greenspan's reputation. Mallaby argues that the conventional wisdom is off base: Greenspan wasn't a na ve ideologue who believed greater regulation was unnecessary. He had pressed for greater regulation of some key areas of finance over the years, and had gotten nowhere. To argue that he didn't know the risks in irrational markets is to miss the point. He knew more than almost anyone; the question is why he didn't act, and whether anyone else could or would have. A close reading of Greenspan's life provides fascinating answers to these questions, answers whose lessons we would do well to heed. Because perhaps Mallaby's greatest lesson is that economic statesmanship, like political statesmanship, is the art of the possible. The Man Who Knew is a searching reckoning with what exactly comprised the art, and the possible, in the career of Alan Greenspan.

Warren and Brandeis's "The Right to Privacy," with 2010 Foreword by Steven Alan Childress, J.D., Ph.D., a senior law professor at Tulane University. Includes photos and rare news clippings. Part of the Legal Legends Series by Quid Pro Books. The most influential piece of legal scholarship, many scholars say, is this 1890 Harvard Law Review article by two Boston lawyers (one of whom later became a legendary Supreme Court Justice). Warren and Brandeis created -- by cleverly weaving strands of precedent, policy, and logic -- the legal concept of privacy and the power of legal protection for that right. Their clear and effective prose stands the test of time, and influenced such modern notions as "inviolate personality" and law's "elasticity." They saw the threat of new technology. Most of all, they asserted the fundamental "right to be let alone," and its implications to modern law are profound. Their privacy concept has grown over the decades, now raising issues about abortion, drug testing, surveillance, sexual orientation, free speech, the "right to die," and medical confidentiality. All these spinoffs trace their origins to this master work. It is simply one of the most significant parts of the modern canon of law, politics, and sociology. The extensive new Foreword by Professor Childress shares not only this import and effect, but also the fascinating backstory behind the article. Its origins are found in Warren's own prickly experiences with the press and the paparazzi of the day, famously after their reports about and photos of his family weddings.
