Talibés: Modern-Day Child Slavery
"The work by Mario Cruz hits you like a brick in the face. He uncovers the unimaginable nightmare of child slavery, something that should simply not exist in our time…"
Photographs and text by Mario Cruz
This project was singled out for distinction among the submissions to Magnum Photography Awards 2016 by juror Newsha Tavakolian. Each juror selected one photographer—discover why this one stood out.
"Talibé" is an Arabic term for disciple.
What tries to pass as a form of education is only a way of business for exploiting children every day in Senegal. What should be a school is, often times, a place of torture.
These Koranic schools, known as daaras, are no more than fragile buildings where atrocities are committed against children aged between 5 and 15 years old. While "students" there, they are forced to spend more than 8 hours a day begging in the streets for money. The rest of their time is spent learning the Koran, while the marabout, their teachers, collect the pupils' daily earnings.
The number of talibés has been increasing lately and there are more than 30,000 boys subjected to forced begging in the Dakar region alone. Children trafficking plays a crucial part in the recent growth. Most of the talibés are Senegalese but the number of children being taken from neighboring countries such as Guinea-Bissau has also been increasing.
Talibés survive in overcrowded and unsanitary daaras. Malaria, skin diseases, breathing problems and stomach parasites are common among them. Many of these children struggle in this situation for many years, leading a portion of them to flee to the streets once their despair has completely taken over.
The physical abuse they receive is known by those living on the streets but remains officially hidden inside these masked schools. The guardians are aware of the crimes they permit but seek a way to continue ignoring the problem while keeping them behind closed doors. Meanwhile, the abusers themselves continue to exploit children without any ounce of concern that the law might be applied against them.
—Mario Cruz
"Talibés Modern Day Slaves," contains 70 black-and-white photographs as well as an introduction from Lauren Seibert from Human Rights Watch and an essay by Fatou Diouf of We Are One Sn, a non-profit dedicated to helping talibés.
The texts are in English, Arabic, Portuguese and French. The first edition of 1000 copies will provide local and international NGOs working on the issue an enduring testimony and concrete evidence about the systematic exploitation of children in some daaras in Senegal. One of the excuses was the lack of evidence—now the evidence will be available to everyone. It will also be distributed in schools, libraries and local associations across Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Hopefully, this will help trigger a social change.
The book was possible through a Kickstarter campaign that gathered $29,684 from 371 backers and is now being produced to be presented at this year's Visa Pour L'Image. It will be the first of three presentations. Perpignan, Lisbon (September) and New York (October).
Pre-ordered copies are available through the publisher FotoEvidence's website.
Below is a brief video showing the book production in process:
In June, I went to Guinea-Bissau to show the book there for the first time. There were two exhibitions—one in Bissau and the other in Gabu, one of the regions that suffers most from children trafficking. There was a discussion session with Guinean authorities, Koranic teachers and local NGOs. The exhibition continues to travel around the country so locals can understand what is happening to more than 50,000 children in Senegal.
Since the first publication of the book and my World Press Photo award, numerous children were rescued from Senegal and brought back to Guinea-Bissau. This was already being done but the pace increased significantly once the work started getting international attention. Indeed, in the 24 hours after the WPP announcement, 28 children were rescued and more continue to be freed to this day.

Runaway talibés stand on the banks of the Senegal river, in Saint Louis, north of Senegal. Saint Louis is known as "Talibé City." It is a city with a small population compared to Dakar but with a large number of talibés. Because they are so numerous, many children choose to live on the streets rather than in a crowded daara.

Huge letters loom in the darkness of the RNG. The sinister organisation of the ILLUMINASCII conspire to bring forth a New World Order throughout all the ascii land. As the lowly @ symbol, can you defeat their agents and overturn the conspiracy? Illuminascii is a new FPS with a ascii text based visual style that features randomly generated content and roguelike elements. Monsters, Weapons, Armor and Levels are all created with random characteristics. As a fan of both roguelike and FPS style games, this is a game that embodies not only the spirit of a roguelike, but also the aesthetics. The feel of a roguelike, in a modern engine.


My objectives in this study are twofold. First, I will analyze the legal strategies developed by feminist attorneys in response to donor custody suits brought against lesbian mothers. This will entail an analysis of the related but distinct court rulings in which gay and lesbian parents were denied custody to children conceived in heterosexual marriages. The latter type of custody battle preceded the proliferation of donor insemination, and I suspect greatly influenced feminist responses to the possibility of donors bringing paternity claims. Second, I will show that this legal imperative was a significant factor in drawing lesbians pursuing motherhood into the medical marketplace of sperm banks and fertility treatment. To complete these objectives, I will draw on the extensive archival materials made available to me by individuals that participated in these projects. I will also analyze oral histories I have conducted with key players in these efforts. Lastly, I will examine the public court rulings on donor custody suits as well as the evolution of state parentage laws. Through writing the history of these developments, I aim to highlight the constraints that shaped these strategies while also exploring their unintended effects for the political project of lesbian motherhood. In doing so, I offer a case study that illustrates how the feminist health ethic of self-expertise and bodily autonomy sits uneasily alongside American liberalism's investment in choice and privacy. This tension continues to shape contemporary debates related to ARTs as well as reproductive rights more broadly.

The Porter Farm, also known as Walter C. Porter Farm, is a historic farm property near Terrell in Kaufman County in the U.S. state of Texas.  Porter Farm was the site of the first cooperative farm demonstration, organized in 1903 by Dr. Seaman A. Knapp. The project successfully demonstrated methods to expand crop production. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Extension Service developed from this foundational project.

The property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Porter Farm had been selected by the community to participate in the project, with $1000 set aside to cover potential losses. Knapp worked with Walter Porter to set aside  of the farm, on which the experimental use of fertilizers on some plots and rotation with nitrogen-fixing legumes doubled normal yields of cotton. The success of this project led to the creation of government Extension Service programs, which went on to develop methods to combat boll weevil infestation in the area.

The Porter Farm is located about  north of Terrell, on FM986.  The total farm property was historically about .  The property includes the Porter homestead, a 1-1/2 story Cape style frame house located on the southeast side of FM986, while the demonstration land is mainly on the northwest side.  Today a tomato barn, which is not historically significant, stands on that land.

"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it" is probably the metrologist's favourite quote. We would add that if you can't measure it, you can't control it either. And if you don't measure in-process automation nor can you save time or money or optimise processes and performance.
We recently highlighted how agility and efficiency through the intelligent application of big data and automation are major themes for manufacturing right now, with those operating on smart manufacturing principles monitoring every stage of the manufacturing and adapting processes to achieve greater efficiencies and savings.
With our new in-process gauging sensor manufacturers will be able to minimise scrappage, maximise efficiency and ensure the accuracy of their components.
Solartron's newest in-process gauging sensor, the Miniature In-Process Gauging Sensor, is currently in development and visitors to the annual Control trade fair for quality assurance will be treated to a sneak peek of them. These sealed sensors will offer superior durability, meaning manufacturers can trust them to last and continue providing reliable data even in harsh environments and tight spaces.
Our latest sensor is being built to be used during milling, turning and grinding processes and withstand contact with swarf, metallic chips and cutting fluid. Not only will this very small probe be extremely rugged, it will be completely sealed and therefore able to continue to function in these harsh measuring environments.
Being able to create very small but very accurate components is vital in the current market, so, like all our sensors, the Miniature In-Process gauge will have superb accuracy and excellent repeatability. Its accuracy is measured at better than 1 micron and it takes 3906 readings per second.
At 37mm in length, this tiny sensor is ideal for using in tight spaces and its extreme durability means it can take measurements in places other sensors can't. It has a 0.5mm measuring range and be used with length extensors, OEM's fixed length contact tips or Solartron's tip adapter.
Its suitability for a wide range of applications that involve in-process measurements mean it's ideal for modern manufacturing environments where faster throughput and the agility to adapt to changing customer demands is becoming more and more necessary.
In-process gauging sensors allow for very accurate readings consistently throughout the grinding, milling or turning process, which in turn allow for greater control over this process and therefore less scrappage. This results in quicker turnaround times and greater efficiency too.
As an Orbit 3 sensor, the Miniature In-Process Gauging Sensor benefits from a choice of interface options – USB into a PC or Ethernet/IP, Modbus and Profinet for PLCs used with the Orbit Digital Measurement Network, alongside a wide range of other sensors to produce accurate and easy-to-use data.

English Essays for Children and Students
The been given in return.[3] It is widely regarded
October 7, 2019 March 24, 2020 adminFree Essays
The doctrine of consideration is a feature of EnglishContract Law that is not found to be in civilian legal systems. It is not avery technical doctrine and it has been the subject of considerable criticism. 1Theorthodox view remains that intention to create legal relations, consideration andevidential formality are all essential ingredients of enforceability.2But many critics have questioned the true usage of it because of the way judgestreat different cases as well as the many conditions required for considerationto be valid.
In it's original form, the doctrine was founded upon the principleof reciprocity and the idea that a promise should not be enforceable if nothinghas been given in return.3It is widely regarded as one of the most problematiccontract law doctrines present within common law. 4It has been argued we can no more abolish one element of a contract withoutdestroying the others; it is like a circle without a circumference.5In English Law, a promise becomes binding either throughconsideration or a deed. French law doesn't require consideration, instead it isbased on theories of autonomy and consent. Many legal systems in the world haveefficient and just rules of contract law without any requirement ofconsideration as a precondition of enforceability.6In England, gifts are not considered as contracts, differently from France.7The approaches to the institute are also very different.
8It has no place in the laws of France, Italy, Spain and Germany. These are allcivilised countries with a highly developed system of law.9Because of this, it can be argued that consideration has no meaning orrelevance in English contract law. The notion was described in Currie v Misa10as consisting of "either in some right, interest, profit, or benefit accruingto the other party or some forbearance, detriment, loss or responsibilitygiven, suffered or undertaken by the other" per Lush LJ. Both parties need tomake an exchange of an economic value for there to be an intention to createlegal relations. It was further approvedby the House of Lords in Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v Selfridge and Co Ltd."An act or forbearance of one party, or the promise thereof, is the price forwhich the promise of the other is bought, and the promise thus given for valueis enforceable.
"11This was initially put forward by Sir Frederick Pollock in his book "Pollock'sPrinciples of Contract"12 There is an inconsistency in the application because judgesare unwilling to be strict in some cases, and lack understanding and knowledgein a topic.13Consequently, the law of contract is uncertain and in doubt. In the case ofRicketts v Scothorn14,the issue was whether the promisee could still rely on a promise even withoutconsideration because of their weakened position. The courts found theplaintiff so heavily relied on the promise of the money that it created apromissory estoppel. The lack of consideration was a defence. Despite consideration receiving critique from judges and analysts,it is still advantageous.
It allows us to see which promises should be regarded asgratuitous or should be enforceable. Enforcing gratuitous promises would leadto the floodgates being open, allowing many claimants opening cases claiming acontract has been breached when only a mere promise has been made. Smallpromises can easily be broken so it is right that the law steps in and does notenforce them. The element allows the courts to be stricter and saves time; judgescan quickly dismiss cases if promises are trivial. Promises are not alwaysenforceable; this protects the promisor themselves. Those who make extravagantpromises need to be protected from their own recklessness. The doctrine acts asa gatekeeper which stands in the way of the enforcement of promises which arenot intended to have legal consequences.15In regards to the above statement, this shows that consideration does haverelevance and meaning in Contract law.
In addition, if the notion of consideration is asfundamental as that of offer and acceptance, any radical alteration of thedoctrine will necessarily alter a great part of the rules concerned with simplecontract. 16Even though many think that it should be abolished, doing so would have a knock-oneffect on the other two elements. Furthermore, the doctrine of privity dictates that a personwho is not a party to the contract cannot be granted contractual rights by thecontract or be placed under contractual obligations by it.17In the case of Tweddle v Atkinson18,the third party could not recover damages. This prevents other peoplebenefitting from damages of a contract they have no involvement in. In otherwords, consideration is between the promisor and promisee.
In relation to theabove statement, this seems to be a less convoluted part of considerationbecause it makes sense that the exchange should be between the two partiesonly. Something that does not count as consideration is beingobliged to do something. In Collins v Godefroy19the failure of consideration was due to the plaintiff already being under anexisting duty imposed by law.
This seems fair because claimants cannot say whatthey are already expected to do constitutes to consideration because otherwisethe floodgates would be open and everyone would claim so. However, performing alegal duty and more could amount to consideration. Such as in Glasbrook BrothersLtd v Glamorgan CC20where it was held the element was present because the police had gone beyondtheir legal duty.
From the above points, consideration can be seen to be ofrelevance and have meaning to the law of contract. Some of the requirements areshown to be reasonable and it is relevant because without it the other key elementswould be affected.Nonetheless, consideration has still been subject tosubstantial criticism and many have questioned the relevance and meaning of it.One issue is that it is difficult to determine what amountsto consideration.
It would not be right for the courts to determineconsideration because it is subjective; what may seem as consideration to theparties may be interpreted differently by the courts. In Currie v Misa21 whilst describing the law, Lush LJ used thephrase "in the sense of the law" implying that it is for the law to decide ifconsideration has been supplied or not. This is not fair to the parties in acase because their arguments can be ignored, and judges should not be able tohave a say in what each person brings to an agreement. In White v Bluett22the son's complaining was seen to be too nebulous.
There have been times whenjudges have conflicted on this idea. In Thomas v Thomas23Patteson J stated, "consideration means something which has some value in theeye of the law" whereas in Chappell & Co Ltd v The Nestle Co Ltd24Lord Somervell stated "a contracting party can stipulate for what considerationhe chooses". In other words, parties decide the value of their considerationand the courts conclude whether it is enough. This shows how overly complex thedoctrine is.
Moreover, the pre-existing rule has been subject tocriticism. The general rule is that having a pre-existing duty to a certainrole does not constitute to consideration. This was held in Stilk v Myrick25that "A does not provide consideration by promising to perform a contractualduty owed by B". This was challenged by Williams v Roffey Bros26where it was suggested that A does provide consideration. It seems that the considerationis convoluted because of the many variations available in different cases.There is uncertainty around the rule because judges interpret it in differentways. Another rule of the doctrine is that it need not beadequate, but sufficient.
This has led to trivial acts constituting toconsideration. The doctrine can cause inconvenience where the law treats apromise as not being supported by consideration even though the partiesreasonably regard it as having been made for value.27Bilateral contracts are those where consideration is apromise for a promise. It has been argued that it is incorrect to speak ofexchange in bilateral contracts at the consideration, but rather it is thething promised i.e.
the performance of the promise rather than the promiseitself.28Professor Ballantine highlighted one promise cannot fertilise another withconsideration until it is itself fertilised.29In other words, a promise must be put into action for it to be consideration.Consideration is not necessary for the purpose of provingintention to be legally bound.
It is even unnecessary for proving seriousintention, there are many other ways to prove the parties' intent to be legallybound.30Such as having a written agreement which says each party will take furtherlegal action should the other breach their part. Another problem with the notion is it is too narrow it it'sscope and so fails to give effect to promises that ought to have legal effect.31It denies legal effect to promises where there is nothing given or received inexchange.32It must also move from thepromisee not necessarily the promisor. Consideration was invalid if a thirdparty intervened.
The current legislation governing this rule is the Contracts(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 which states a person who is not a party to a contract (a "third party") may in his own right enforce a term ofthe contract if (a) thecontract expressly provides that he may, or (b)subject to subsection (2), theterm purports to confer a benefit on him.33 As of 1999, third partiesnow have rights to a contract if the original parties say so, but they do nothave to provide consideration to be able to enforce their right. However, in Beswickv Beswick34 the widow was prevented from suing due to the doctrine of privity,but now under s1(1)(b) Mrs Beswick would be able to claim because the contracthad a benefit to her. The law in this area seems to be inconsistent andconfusing due to the constant developments that make it difficult for judges tofollow precedents. For a contract to be enforceable, consideration need not always bepresent.
Estoppel is when a man by his words or conduct, has led another man tobelieve in a particular state of affairs, he will not be allowed to go back onit when it would be unjust or inequitable for him to do so.35 This is good for the promisee because the promisor cannot go backand change the agreement. The problem is it can only be used as a shield andnot a cause of action.36 For example in Combe v Combe37 the wife could not rely on promissory estoppel despite herhusband not providing any consideration because Denning LJ said "the principledoes not create new causes of action where none existed".38 But in Central London Property Trust v High Trees House39 the plaintiffs were successfully able to rely on the doctrine ofpromissory estoppel, but since it can only be used as a defence, it would notbe appropriate for it to replace consideration. Instead of replacing consideration, it can be changed to provide certaintyand consistency in the law. The Law Revision Committee put forth a report in 1937stating the different ways consideration can be reformed. Thefirst group of recommendations aims at the reform of consideration, and may betermed reformative; the second aims at its abolition in certain cases and maybe termed radical.
40 Onesuggestion was that that a promise in writing should be enforceable even if notsupported by consideration.41 Alsothe rule in Pinnel's Case should be abolished as an absolute rule of law andperformance of an existing contractual obligation should be admitted as a possibleconsideration even between the original contracting parties.42However they acknowledged public policy could be offended.43But the committee have agreed that gratuitous promises should not be binding whichwould limit the floodgates and prevent petty cases reaching the courts.
In GayChoon Ing v Loh Sze Ti Terence Peter44Andrew B L Phang JA explained that "the doctrine might now be outmoded or evenredundant and its functions may well be met by more effective alternatives"45such as economic duress. In conclusion, the notion ofconsideration has become very convoluted since it originated many centuries ago;judges have conflicting ideas, the interference of the legislature and othercountries not requiring it are just some reasons why many have been in favourfor it's abolition. Not regarding it as a necessary element would highly affectthe other elements of contract and make the law more difficult due to it needingadjustment. Despite the many problems mentioned, the doctrine does make sensein terms of parties having to make a form of economic contribution to anagreement for an intention of legal relations to be evident. The issue is themany variations there are that make the law so confusing. In terms ofimprovement, the doctrine should be altered in a way that prevents uncertaintybut is also fair to the parties concerned. It can be said therefore that it is relevantin English law.

Capitol Hill Block Party, Day 3: Danny Brown, Torres, Angel Olsen, Perfume Genius

Day 3 of 2017's Capitol Hill Block Party proved to be the fest's most musically satisfying, stellar sets from Danny Brown, Torres, Angel Olsen, and Perfume Genius sounding great against the urban Capitol Hill backdrop.
Danny Brown // photos by Joel Simard (view set)
Coming on at 5:15 to the sounds of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," Danny Brown effortlessly delighted a frat house crowd, performing tracks from his second (XXX), third (Old) and fourth (Atrocity Exhibition) records. Brown's outfit deserves special mention -- the rapper wore a bright pop-art button-down with matching pants, shedding the button-down partway to reveal a Gucci t-shirt. His hair, once put in bangs over his face, was slicked back. Needless to say, Danny Brown looks sharp.
The first half of Brown's set favored material from XXX and Old, both of which appeared to be crowd favorites. "Smokin' and Drinkin' " and "25 Bucks" seemed well suited to the agendas of the frat bros. In contrast, the more abrasive Atrocity Exhibition material appeared less crowd friendly, though the tracks showcase some of Brown's best rapping to date. In rapid succession, Brown spat off Old highlight "Grown Up," "Ain't It Funny," part of "Really Doe," "When it Rain" and "Pneumonia." It was a particularly strong stretch of a set that did not fail to disappoint.
Torres // photos by Morgen Schuler (view set)
On the nearby Vera Stage, Torres took the stage slightly before her 6:10 start time, launching into "Bad Baby Pie" from the forthcoming Three Futures album. Mackenzie Scott, the songwriter and primary musician behind Torres, has an unmistakable live presence, her voice emphasizing her articulate lyrics. Her live sets are charged with a taut intensity that is indicative of Scott's strength as an artist -- even in moments of stillness or silence, her voice unsettles and confronts. Alternating between material from Three Futures and the divine Spinter album, Scott demonstrated her continued evolution as an artist. Three Futures highlights "Skim," "Marble Focus," and the climactic "Helen in the Woods" are built around droning synth riffs and spare guitar work. Scott's voice and storytelling were at the forefront of every track, much to the set's benefit.
Angel Olsen // photos by Joel Simard
Sandwiched between two EDM acts on the mainstage, Ms. Angel Olsen did not have the easiest job at Block Party. However, seemingly quite aware of her situation, Olsen played a masterful set that defied festival convention. Olsen's backing band, clad in '50s style dress, jumped straight into Burn Your Fire For No Witness's "High & Wild" before Olsen demurely took the stage. Getting her best-known track "Shut Up Kiss Me," quickly out of the way, Olsen proceeded to play some of her slowest, longest, most beleaguered material, stretched out to give each band member sufficient space. After "Give It Up" and "Not Gonna Kill You," Olsen performed a ten-minute version of "Acrobat," transformed to match her My Woman material. "Sister" and "Woman" followed, both similarly expanded to beautiful effect. However, the question remained: why was Angel Olsen here? Assuredly, Ms. Olsen got handsomely paid for the event, so she deserves much credit for delivering a wonderful set. However, the cat-calling, largely disinterested crowd highlighted the ever-present cultural split at Block Party.
Perfume Genius // photos by Morgen Schuler
Perfume Genius acted as headliner on the Vera Stage, playing opposite the bombast of Diplo. To his credit, the ever-more-dynamic Mike Hadreas put on quite the show, demonstrating his many talents as a musician and performer, as well as his different modes as a songwriter. Material from No Shape was the primary focus of the set and tended to sound more jubilant than songs from Too Bright and Put Your Back N 2 It. Washes of synth provided by the debonair Alan Wyffles translated the record to the live setting, while Hadreas bounced and swerved in a tank top, regularly hitting impossibly high notes. "Wreath" and audience favorite "Slip Away" were clear highlights of the set, as was the comparatively heartbreaking "Hood," which remains inseparable from its poignant music video.
Old favorites "Grid" and "Sister" allowed Hadreas to enter darker territories with his sound. "Grid" in particular incorporates shades of Suicide into its sonic palate, Mike's voice on "Sister" recalling the similarly provocative Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu). These variations in tone make Hadreas's set sound particularly fresh. The night closed with the triumphant "Queen," Hadreas saluting the crowd before bouncing off stage to deserved thunderous applause.

They are resourceful and creative, as they manage all embassy operations, from real estate to human resources, from security to budget. China and South Korea are not the only countries that senior officials, including foreign secretary S Jaishankar, visited quietly in the past few weeks. The classical model of competitive market capitalism is reviewed first, followed by the Marxian and neo-Marxian (Leninist) critique of capitalism. In particular, the courses in this specialization examine the significant role the United States has played in the political and economic evolution of Latin America.
The seminar explores not only what motivated U. Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, today the most profound challenges which today imperil the planet are grounded in neither religious extremism nor political violence. The transfer of public diplomacy functions to the State Department was both a curse and a blessing. What support is available towards tuition fees? As the centre of political and economic gravity in the Arab world shifts decisively towards the gulf, professionals and analysts will find in Legrenzi's brilliantly concise book a reliable guide to this complex and misunderstood corner of the globe.
First, the dynamics and causes of conflict, including the changing character of war and its impact on contemporary societies and armies are addressed. One famous study was by scholars Katz and Liebes, whose "decoding Dallas" study, "The Export of Meaning: Cross-Cultural Readings of Dallas" compared how the show was watched and received in various countries. In October 2005, a Task force was set up at the WTO in Geneva to present recommendations for enhancing the Integrated Framework (IF).
One result of the breakdown of old premises, mainly in new states, was that diplomatic immunity was breached, and diplomacy became a hazardous career. It supports cultural diversity and stresses the interests of minorities. Such channels include businesses, NGOs, foundations, ethnic diasporas, and various democratic political parties. State nobles court, where they accented the royal magnificence. Even where there might be a slight shift in the balance of power, the view is that the International society will always include strong states and weak states, real states and 'quasi' states possessing positive and negative sovereignty respectively.
The course, traces the history of genocide in the 20th century and the question of humanitarian intervention to stop it, a topic that has been especially controversial since the end of the Cold War. While other Republicans have fled Donald Trump, Mike Pence is doubling down on their campaign The crowd beneath the high rafters at the agricultural center was eager to purge its frustration, chanting "Lock her up!" in reference to Hillary Clinton, more than 20 minutes before Indiana Gov.
Smith, S. (1989) 'Paradigm Dominance in International Relations: The Development of International Relations as a Social Science', in H. International Relation Theory is no way new to debate. Asked directly if she could pursue a life in politics, diplomacy or public service, she replied: "I am open." Keen analytical skills top the list of core competencies in this field. However, by the late 1970s influential free-market critics of New Directions were in the ascendant.
Diplomacy is the chief, but not the only, instrument of foreign policy, which is set by political leaders, though diplomats (in addition to military and intelligence officers) may advise them. This course explores the historical evolution of diplomacy, and then focuses on post WWII diplomatic practice and especially the dynamics of diplomacy since the end of the Cold War.

In addition, the FAA provided a "supporting assistance" program (later called the Economic Support Fund) to promote economic and political stability and launched a program to protect American business abroad, the antecedent of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. Although it is sometimes perceived to be slow change, the method of diplomacy causes fewer casualties than any other one.

It is hard to imagine a person in North America who isn't familiar with Marvel's Cinematic Universe or at the least aware of the films and their connective world. What many viewers may not realize is that Marvel also has a small screen universe that's been building similarly as the movies did with The Avengers. Just because they're both under the Marvel blanket though, don't expect to see the movies and TV characters crossing over anytime soon. The Defenders stars Marvel TV Alums Mike Coulter, Kristen Ritter, Charlie Cox and Finn Jones with Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Avatar) playing the newest villain as part of a criminal organization. The show seems to constantly be trying to keep up with all the different character's and stories, it forgets how to fundamentally tell a story of unlikely heroes coming together. Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is the prime example of how to do so and usually its not too hard to apply this narrative and derive what you need in order of telling a good story, many ensemble action/adventure films have done so from Star Wars, Ocean's Eleven and The Avenger's just to name a few. It would be an understatement to say that in doing so they would be in good company.
Netflix and Marvel's newest outing The Defenders, a show that teams up Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil and Iron Fist- falls short of upping the ante from previous seasons as The Avengers had done in contrast to its cinematic predecessors. The Defenders is produced by Marco Ramirez, Douglas Petrie and Jeph Loeb. The three showrunners are no stranger to supernatural TV, Loeb serving as a key producer of Smallville and Petrie working as a producer on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. With all this experience and time to build up to the larger story, why was the end result anything short of the best season yet? Is it simply too difficult to manage 4 leads in a 8 episodes? The editing and general narrative seems flimsy while the technical and visual aspects are also not on par with what we've seen in prior seasons.
Each member of The Defenders had their own solo season with Daredevil having two seasons released prior to the team up. Each of the characters solo outings were met with favorable reviews by critics until Iron Fist season 1 was released April 2017, which was helmed by Scott Buck (Dexter, The Inhumans). The Marvel Netflix shows have always had the challenge of feeling over-produced and some of the acting coming off as stale; I suppose it is forgivable more so in Daredevil and Luke Cage than Iron Fist or even Jessica Jones because a few performances stand out and some of the choreography is astounding. What I'm trying to convey is that The Defenders is more of the same if not lesser than the previous Marvel TV shows.
If you're looking for something to binge and not think about too much, this show could be perfect, although even the slightest slip in your viewing of previous Marvel shows and you could have no idea who or what is going on. If anything, this show begins to help me appreciate Marvel's cinematic ventures more and more. Perhaps the final 4 episodes will prove to be more entertaining or generally good television but the first 4 episodes have not inspired much confidence in this writer.
Starring: Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, Finn Jones, Élodie Yung.

Avon and Somerset Constabulary
Avon and Somerset police release statement after Manchester bombing
The 'sickening' explosion killed 22 people, including an eight-year-old girl
Andy Baber
Avon and Somerset Police have released a statement paying tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena attack last night.
A man set off a homemade bomb in the foyer of the arena at 10.30pm, following the conclusion of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande.
The 'sickening' explosion killed 22 people, including an eight-year-old girl, and injured a further 59 gig-goers as they made their way out of the venue.
Avon and Somerset Police have since released a statement reassuring residents that they are doing everything they can to keep them safe.
It also reveals that the Avon and Somerset Constabulary had already been reviewing their procedures for 'venues and crowded places' before the attack last night.

A statement from Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: "This was a tragic event and our hearts go out to the loved ones of those who were killed and injured.

"The sustained and determined threat of terrorism casts a shadow across all our communities and our priority is to reassure them that we're doing everything we can to keep them safe.
"Prior to this appalling incident, plans were already in hand to review our local security arrangements for venues and crowded places.
"We have rigorous major incident plans in place which are regularly tested and reviewed during exercises with partner agencies such as ambulance, health and fire to ensure we are as prepared as we possibly can be.
"At times like these it's more important than ever that we stand together as a community and unite against this kind of horrific attack."
The suspected terrorist attack is the worst to hit the UK since the July 7 bombings in 2005 in which 52 people were killed by four suicide bombers.
Surrounding streets were sealed off following the attack in Manchester and more than 240 calls were made to the emergency services, with 60 ambulances and more than 400 police officers attending the scene.
Fans of US singer Ariana Grande speak to members of the press in Manchester
Prime Minister Theresa May said police were treating it as "an appalling terrorist attack" and general election campaigning has been suspended.
Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said it was "the most horrific incident" the city had ever faced.

He added that the "fast-moving investigation" was now working to establish whether the attacker "was acting alone or as part of a network".
The Manchester Arena or MEN is the city's largest indoor venue with a concert capacity of about 21,000.
Grande tweeted that she was "broken" after the attack and added: "From the bottom of my heart, I am so, so sorry. I don't have words."
The 23-year-old singer has now suspended her world tour 'indefinitely' ahead of her next scheduled dates in London.
The injured are being treated at hospitals across Greater Manchester and a hotline has been set up for those concerned about loved ones (Call 0161 856 9400 or 0161 856 9900).

Many Approve of ICC Indictment of Bashir: Poll of 7 Muslim and African Nations
Questionnaire/Methodology (PDF)
A WorldPublicOpinion.org poll of seven majority-Muslim and African nations finds that, contrary to the position of their governments, publics in four nations approve of the indictment of Sudanese President Bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur, one is divided and two are opposed.
The International Criminal Court indicted Bashir and put out an arrest warrant in March 2009. The Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Arab League and the African Union have all passed resolutions denouncing the indictment. Moreover last week the African Union declared that its members will refuse to cooperate in enforcement. All of the nations polled as part of this study are members of one or more of these organizations.
However large majorities approve of the ICC indictment in Kenya (77%), and Nigeria (71%), as does a modest majority in Turkey (51% with 22% disapproving), and a plurality in Pakistan (39% with 32% disapproving).
"This suggests that leaders of some majority-Muslim and African nations, in denouncing the indictment of President Bashir, are out of step with their people," comments Steven Kull, director of WorldPublicOpinion.org.
In two nations a majority disapproves of the indictment: the Palestinian territories (70% with 25% approving) and Egypt (52%, with 47% approving). Iraqis are evenly divided (35% approve, 37% disapprove).
The poll of the seven nations (Egypt, Turkey, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories) was conducted between April 25 and June 6, 2009 with a total of 6,055 respondents. The margin of error for each nation ranges from +/- 3 to 4.5 percentage points.
In response to the ICC indictment, President Bashir expelled from Sudan many aid organizations providing relief to hundreds of thousands of displaced people living in refugee camps in Darfur. Respondents were asked, "If as a result many people in these camps start dying from hunger and exposure, do you think the UN should bring in food and other aid, escorted by military protection if necessary, even against the will of the government or do you think this would be too much of a violation of Sudan's sovereignty"
Support for such a UN intervention is very strong, including among some publics that oppose the indictment. Large majorities would favor it in Kenya (82%), Nigeria (68%), Egypt (61%), the Palestinian territories (60%), as well as a plurality in Iraq (46% to 29%). Only in Pakistan does a plurality oppose the idea (42% to 37%).
These attitudes are consistent with earlier polling on the concept of the UN having a "responsibility to protect." WorldPublicOpinion.org asked respondents from 20 nations whether the UN Security Council has a responsibility to authorize military force to protect people from severe human rights violations. Majorities or pluralities in all 20 nations polled agreed that the Security Council does have this responsibility, including five of the nations in the present poll: Kenya (89%), Egypt (80%), Nigeria (78%), the Palestinian territories (69%), and Turkey (39% to 20%).
In the current poll publics in five nations were also asked whether they have confidence in Bashir to do the right in international affairs as part of a battery that included leaders from many other nations.
Bashir received poor confidence ratings in four of the five nations asked. Most said they have not too much or no confidence in him in Kenya (63%), Turkey (52%), Egypt (51%), and Nigeria (49%). Only in the Palestinian territories did a slight majority (51%) say they have some or a lot of confidence.
Levels of information about the situation in Darfur vary widely among the publics polled. While majorities said they knew some or a lot in Kenya (85%), Egypt (78%), Palestinian Territories (65%), and Nigeria (59%), these numbers dropped below half in Iraq (48%), Pakistan (39%), and Turkey (29%).
Overall those with higher levels of information were more supportive of the ICC indictment, but there were variations between nations. Among those with a lot of information, support was higher than the general public in Kenya (87% as compared to 77%), Turkey (73% as compared to 51%), Iraq (70% as compared to 35%) and the Palestinian territories (37% as compared to 25%). However, in Pakistan disapproval of the indictment was higher among the most informed (60% as compared to 32%). In Egypt and Nigeria there was no clear effect with greater information.
Support for forcible UN intervention in the event that the expulsion of aid organizations leads to large scale suffering also tends to rise with greater information.
WorldPublicOpinion.org, a collaborative project involving research centers from around the world, is managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland. Funding for this research was provided by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Calvert Foundation.

It's often the case in recruitment that businesses who are hiring will generally be against using recruiters. The reasons can vary and some are very reasonable while other reasons just don't add up at all.
Internal recommendations from staff makes perfect sense, as people will usually only recommend people they feel are good and who would be culturally right for the business.
One of the biggest reasons for recruiting directly is budget. Naturally businesses will allocate money for recruitment, which can quickly get used up without all of the vacancies being filled, giving some recruiting managers an excuse to hide behind when choosing not to use recruiters. That's not to say it's not a valid excuse and to be honest, it's their decision on how they choose to recruit, however no matter your personal opinion of recruiters, we offer a valuable service and a budget should not be used to diminish our importance; unless of course the business cannot genuinely afford it.
Twist attract some of the best talent which in turn means we attract clients who might not have considered recruitment.
Let's face it, unless you work in HR or are an in-house recruiter, recruitment is a hindrance and gets in the way of the world you were hired to do. Combine that with the perception and sometimes reality of pushy recruiters who bombarded businesses and staff with sales calls and LinkedIn messages, you get a situation where businesses or hiring managers take the decision to recruit direct to avoid the hassle of managing recruiters and the recruitment process, essentially taking a short cut.
However, ask any recruitment consultant and they will know of clients who have done this in the past and have hired people who don't work out within months of taking them on, or even worse, they stay in the business long term with no real effect. In the meantime, the superstar candidate the recruiter had for the business who was a Business Development pro with a track record in growing accounts is now working at a direct competitor and has repeatedly won pitch after pitch.
I'm not saying recruiters are perfect and businesses are stupid for not using them for every hire. We don't always use Rec to Recs; however there is huge value in the service.
I guess what I'm getting at is that when deciding to recruit for a role, don't let arrogance and money get in the way. The difference between using a recruiter and not could be more costly to a business than the relatively small cost of a good hire over a bad one.

In young Maesa Pullman The Last Hurrah!! mastermind HP Gundersen has found the perfect singer for this ever developing project that is so dear to his heart. After exploring the possibilites of the drone guitar on their debut "Spiritual Non-Believers" and the slightly more song-oriented follow-up "The Beauty Of Fake", HP is back with a third album that dives straight into the heart of classical song traditions and vintage production values, blending elements from country and Americana, classic British pop, psychedelia, blues and a pinch of soul. Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke notes in his liner notes that "you may think have heard all of this before. But you haven´t heard it like this".
HP Gundersen has been a central figure on Bergen´s vibrant music scene for more than three decades, as producer, composer and mentor for many of the city´s artists.
As a producer he discovered and nurtured the career of a very young Sondre Lerche, and he has produced over 50 albums, including folk legend Tim Rose´s final album "American Son". Also a songwriter, guitarist and pianist, Maesa Pullman performs frequently with different musical constellations in Southern California, being a profiled presence in the local roots community. Her cousin Rosa Pullman sings lead on two tracks, "You Ain´t Got Nothing" and "Those Memories".
Among the musicians we find some of Bergen´s finest as well as American guests such as Marty Rifkin (Springsteen, Petty, etc) on pedal steel, John Thomas (Captain Beefheart) on Hammond organ, Kiel Feher on drums and Jason Hiller on bass.
The vinyl edition includes the full album on CD.

Album Review: The Offspring – "Days Go By"
Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 8:05 AM (PST) by Bizarro Dustin
User's Rating:
Before we begin, I'm going to go on record here and say that we shouldn't really be mad at The Offspring for recording an album like this one, as it's really no different from any of their albums since Smash (not taking production values into account, that is). Yes, Smash is held in high esteem by 90's punk rock fans almost everywhere, while every album afterwards is usually met with less and less enthusiasm, but they're all structured the same. The first single is generally a jokey tune, with big hooks or dumb lyrics or some kind of movie reference worked in somehow (I do acknowledge that both "Ixnay" and "Rise and Fall" avoided this trend but don't forget that "I Choose" and "Stuff Is Messed Up" were still singles) (and I'm aware that technically "Cruising California" was the second single from this album, but it was the first to get a world-wide release). The single usually isn't a very good representation of what the album is like at all and more times often than not the rest of the songs are all decent enough to be deemed inoffensive, while a handful of songs can truly be considered "great" (and then there are the filler songs / other joke tunes meant to be released as future singles).
"Days Go By" is no different in that aspect. Yes, "Cruising California (Bumpin' in My Trunk)" is god-awful- I'm not going to deny that- and I'm not saying that everyone has to like the album just because the rest of it isn't an auto-tuned mess, but I am saying that we shouldn't really be all that surprised or mad at the band for doing the exact same thing that they've always done. After all, we can put it past us that Bad Religion will forever record the same albums over and over again (regardless of whether or not we like it), so why can't we do the same for the Offspring?
[That's a rhetorical question. Don't answer it. I'm sure the answer has something to do with leaving Epitaph and going mainstream or something].
Now that it's been settled that "Days Go By" is a typical Offspring album, let's get to the songs themselves… all of which are typical Offspring-fare. Album opener "The Future Is Now" features the slow intro-into-fast riffing approach, as well as a Dead Kennedys reference before the first verse is even over. Track two, "Secrets from the Underground" takes the signature Offspring move by having one guitar strum a chord and let it ring out while the other guitar plays all the notes in between. Both songs are pretty typical for the Offspring, and fans worried after hearing "Cruising California" will be pleasantly surprised. The album's title track, while sounding a little too much like the Foo Fighters, isn't particularly offensive either (and if it is offensive to anyone, they clearly haven't been paying attention to the Offspring for the last 15 years).
Then there are the standard filler tracks that I mentioned earlier. "Turning Into You" and "Hurting As One" aren't awful and will fit right in for when you're in the mood for the Offspring, but "All I Have Left Is You" is that sentimental ballad that the Offspring decides is necessary every few albums. It's bland and tacky, as one would expect of a ballad, and it's a wonder why they continue to record ballads when they'll never top "Gone Away" from "Ixnay on the Hombre" (I will prepare to eat crow for whenever the next album drops, but I really don't think it's going to happen). "I Wanna Secret Family (With You)" is a dumb throwaway song with dumb throwaway lyrics. I'm kind of surprised they didn't make it a ska song like they did with "Don't Pick It Up" or "The Worst Hangover Ever". That said, the chorus is kind of fun to sing along with, provided that you're doing it in a space where none of your friends will catch you.
I don't really want to discuss the crap of the crop, but it must be done. Everyone knows "Cruising California" might as well have featured a guest spot by Nicki Minaj, so I'm going to skip that one. But would you believe me if I told you that "Cruising California" wasn't the worst song on "Days Go By"? It's true. "OC Guns" is a reggae-tinged song with incredibly obnoxious lyrics that go "Tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki, waddup holmes?" Typing that just made me annoyed, so imagine how terrible it is to listen to it. Maybe it would've been tolerable as an instrumental, but the lyrics absolutely kill any hope of it being good. Not even the sampling (or possibly a recreation) of the bottle clinking from the Warriors can save it. Despite how bad these two songs are, longtime Offspring fans will be the most disappointed in the re-recording of "Dirty Magic", from the band's 1992 album "Ignition". The original still holds up today, so playing it any differently seems pointless other than to fill up more space on the album. I know that the band has been considering recording a new version of the song for awhile now, but it's still played almost exactly the same, save for maybe the distortion kicking in a little sooner. The backup harmonies are new too, but I doubt that will translate any differently in a live setting. It's not 100% awful, but the necessity of it does beg some questioning.
Luckily the album ends on a high note, with the 1-2 punch of "Dividing By Zero" and "Slim Pickens Does the Right Thing and Rides the Bomb the Hell". Featuring classic Offspring guitar leads, speedy tempos and the signature Dexter "whoa" (and, for the uninitiated wondering about the title of the latter track, a Dr. Strangelove reference), these two songs almost make up for the rest of the album. When Noodles went on record saying that the new album could be likened to "Ignition", these are the songs that he was talking about.
While it is by no means a perfect album, "Days Go By" is exactly what we should all expect from the Offspring at this point in time. A decent intro, leading into mediocre filler and worse, and finally it gets topped off with a last second saving grace. Maybe it changes the order of when and where the filler appears, but if the last decade has been any indication, then this is the best that we can all hope to get from the Offspring these days, for better or for worse.

Great review, I agree with just about everything you said. But I have to say that I think "Ixnay on the Hombre" is actually a better album than "Smash".

Graduating in 1993 from UCE with a degree in Fashion and Textiles, I pursued a career as a community artist for many years. I worked with a diverse range of groups from one year to a hundred years old. During this time I set up many regular art groups in conjunction with Birmingham City Council, local schools and Sure Start Childrens Centres. My interest in feltmaking was reignited in 2004 when I decided I wanted to specialise in a single art form. Every community group was then offered feltmaking as an option within their project! I formalised all the knowledge I had gained with gaining a PGCE followed by a Masters in Art, Health and Wellbeing. I realised I was and still am fascinated by human interaction and believe we all have our own story to tell. I have a strong belief too that our stories are all interwoven which I like to think is reflected metaphorically in much of my own artwork. I have worked on many community projects over the years. Most recently I worked on a collaborative project with Birmingham City University for the waiting areas in the intensive care unit at the QE Hospital in Birmingham. This involved listening carefully to stories, both happy and sad, of families who had experienced having had relatives in the unit. I also currently work closely with traumatically bereaved families encouraging them to produce contemplative artwork. Another strand to my work is Penny Jane Designs, an online retailer offering a selection of hand felted luxury homewares and accessories for women.

Review: Suspiria—Dance 'Till You're Dead
Caitlin Wilson
Director Luca Guadagnino is back following his 2017 romance-smash Call Me By Your Name, and boy, are we a long way from sun-soaked Italy. Suspiria takes us to late 1970s Berlin, into the terrifying secrets at the heart of the Helena Markos Dance Company. Guadagnino's remix of a remake departs in several places from the original Suspiria, directed in 1977 by Dario Argento, but casts a similarly powerful spell. A tense and beautifully told tale of lust for power unfurls, as Suzy, a wide-eyed American dancer, auditions for the prestigious Markos company and enchants the head choreographer Madame Blanc. While this set-up might resemble any number of fun dance-flicks, let me assure you, this is where the similarities end. The discerning matron-teachers at this company are more than strict —they're downright evil.
This film is decidedly creepy, and well earns its MA+15-rating: seriously, I'd think twice before taking your 15-year-old sibling. There are some stomach-turning scenes of body horror and violence: a remarkable sequence of dance-come-torture is worth the price of your ticket, if you can stand to peek out from behind your hands. It's not a jump-scare laden film, however—it's much more in line with the unsettling and discomforting fare of films like Hereditary or Mother!. The camp-horror aesthetic of Suspiria is a sublime homage to '70s horror, it's colour palate recalling DePalma's Carrie among other retro classics. Guadagnino's expert use of '70s-inspired zoom-into-close-up shots conjure the peculiar vibe of Argento, without allowing the film to become a fawning remake. Another major point of difference from the original is the character of psychiatrist Dr Josef Klemperer, whose patient Patricia has regaled him with her "delusions" of the witchcraft at work at the Markos company. When Patricia goes missing, Josef shuffles through the perpetually rainy Berlin streets often marred by the graffiti-laden Berlin Wall, to the labyrinthine hallways and mirrored studios of the Markos company to uncover the matrons' secrets.
While the film's shocks and sights are its drawing card, its cast manages not to be swallowed up by its strong aesthetics, and gives impressively nuanced performances. Dakota Johnson's Suzy begins the film as the perfectly naïve, soft-voiced ingénue, but her time at Markos casts a dark enchantment over her. Johnson is no stranger to Guadagnino films, having starred in 2015's A Bigger Splash with fellow Suspiria star Tilda Swinton, and her performance here proves just how wasted she was in the 50 Shades quagmire. Swinton, who plays three roles in the film, one of which is credited under a pseudonym, is as electric as always, as is the remainder of the overwhelmingly female cast. Mia Goth as the kindly Sara, a Markos student who becomes suspicious of just what the matrons want from Suzy, is particularly excellent.
The stunning contemporary dance choreography and scenes of creatively perverse horror alone would have been enough, but coupled with Thom Yorke of Radiohead's haunting and melodic soundtrack, the film provides some truly spectacular cinematic moments. Yorke's eerie underscoring mingles with the gasps, sighs, cackles and screams which proliferate the film, helping it to unsettle until the very last moment.
The film's end is just as bat-shit crazy as you might expect, and comes some two-and-half hours after the film's opening scene. But it's strange how fast time passes while watching Suspiria—almost like magic.
Suspiria is in cinemas now.

A truly worldwide event with GB's John Elliot and Andy Greenhorn keeping their outfit ahead of Aussies Steve Smith and Jim Colligan.
Often viewed as a sideshow to main solo racing, sidecars did eventually gain their own championship with a series of GPs making up a European title contest which did become a world championship in 1980. Though at the time of the feature which attracted my attention here it was still a European contest and one in which the old guard of Robert Grogg and Nick Thompson were lying first and second.
So, what got this archive feature to the pages of this publication? The process is hardly scientific as our archive at CDB head office is brimming with glorious images and features from the past.
In the case of this particular feature the headline 'New Boys Shake The Aces' stood out, and to be fair we all like to see the status quo rocked don't we?
The tale was good and Martin Christie's report was backed up by some excellent images from the camera of Nick Nicholls who must have had a great day dealing with the dust on July 23, 1974.
Reading through Christie's words it turned out that not one, but three, relative newcomers to the international scene showed their mettle and had the 12,000-strong crowd on their feet that Sunday afternoon… if they could see anything through the clouds of dust.

«Остаться в живых. Книга 3. Символы бытия» () — роман 2006 года американского писателя Фрэнка Томпсона, третий в серии произведений, написанных по мотивам сериала «Остаться в живых».

Сюжет

Джефф Хэдли — художник, рисующий портреты обнажённых женщин. Чаще всего, Джефф располагал своих героинь на картине в самых необычных местах, к примеру, на вершине «гриба» от ядерного взрыва. Он сближается со студенткой Айми Теннат после того, как нанимает её позировать для него, когда читал лекции в университете Лондона. Они начинают встречаться, но вскоре Джефф получает предложение работы в одном из университетов Шотландии. Он разбивает Айви сердце, уехав навстречу новой жизни. В Шотландии он живёт в прекрасной студии, и сразу же встречает новый любовный интерес — свою лучшую студентку по имени Саванна. Лишь после года отношений, они привлекают к себе внимание руководителей университета. Джефф использует возможность уйти от разбирательств на ближайшее время и отправляется читать лекции в Австралии. Он вновь разбивает сердце молодой красавицы и уезжает. Пробыв около 8 месяцев на «Зелёном континенте», Джефф решает отправиться в Лос-Анджелес…

На острове мужчина находит неожиданное вдохновение для создания шедевров и даже обустраивает свою маленькую студию. Однако его творения становятся куда более мрачными и зловещими, так как за вдохновением Джефф обращается к ночным кошмаром, мучающим его: он видит пугающие образы, тёмные силуэты и слышит таинственные голоса. Между тем, Джефф дружит с Хёрли, и принимает участие в охоте на кабана вместе с Чарли, Майклом и Локом. Во время охоты, Джефф встречает монстра.

Интересные факты

 Согласно книге самолёт разбился в 2006 году. Главный герой получил письмо в 2002 году, в котором ему предлагалось место на 3 года. Он принимает предложение, и действие переносится в 2005 год. Затем он отправляется в Австралию через 6 месяцев (2006 года) и оказывается на борту рейса 815, направляющегося в Лос-Анджелес. Хотя в финальном эпизоде 2 сезона под названием «Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1» говорится, что авария произошла 22 сентября 2004 года.
 В книге 23 главы на 173 страницах.
 В книге Джеффа Хэдли называют Ником, Ричардом и Джеком.
 В романе упоминаются следующие персонажи сериала — Сойер, Джек, Сун, Майкл, Лок, Кейт, Уолт и Хёрли.
 На чехле указано имя Ник Хэдли, хотя персонажа зовут Джефф Хэдли. Во французском издании — в отличие от испанского — это было исправлено.

Российское издание

В России роман был опубликован в 2006 году издательским домом «Амфора» в переводе Валерия Шубинского.

The results are in, and our judges have submitted their picks in our 2017 image contest. It was a very difficult decision, made with much deliberation from a selection of 135 images. Since this was our first year running this contest, we accepted images from all years. Our deep thanks to our judges; Richard Sherman, Sarah Salomon, and Doug Coulson.
"My photo was from the 2013 Schooner Race on Schooner Adventurer 65 with Mark Faustick, which was also my first schooner race. I race regularly in Annapolis, but had never been on a schooner. I fell in love with the boat when I saw it in downtown Annapolis, and then I wrote to Mark asking if he needed crew! I was very lucky to get a spot onboard, it was an amazing experience on a gorgeous boat!"
"I have been a crew memeber of Schooner Woodwind for 5 years now. But this was my very first time participating in the race. I had always wanted to do it but never seemed to have the courage to take the leap. Im glad I did. Seeing so many beautiful schooners all in one place was amazing. A photographers dream come true. It's an experience I will not soon forget!"
