Do you REALLY like to play Sudoku puzzles? Are you the type of puzzler who loves the 16×16 and 25×25 grids, and also likes variety Sudokus, but has little interest in “boring” standard 9×9s? Well, great news! Here’s a humongous 100×100 Sudoku, with diagonals, and here’s the best part: This one is in color! No more bothering with those tiny black-and-white grids! With this book, you can go much, much further than that and create a much larger grid size, by cutting pages out and pasting or taping them together to form a 100×100 Sudoku. And what’s more, each of the 100 individual 10×10 squares are subdivided into four 5×5 squares with different colors: red, yellow, green, and blue, along with gray squares indicating the diagonals. The gray squares along the long diagonals each contain the numbers 0 to 99. In addition, each color set has its own 25 different numbers from 0 to 99, which will be consistent throughout the entire grid, which you can deduce via crossing out numbers used on other color squares, using the scratch pads provided. As a result, when you combine any four 5×5 squares with the four different colors – whether those four 5×5 squares be in a 10×10 cage, all aligned in a row, in a column, or even on a long diagonal, as well as each set of “four corners” from the outermost corners of the grid to the centermost, or just in random, disparate places – they will end up containing all of the numbers from 0 to 99. How cool is that!
Locked away in refrigerated vaults, sanitized by gas chambers, and secured within bombproof caverns deep under mountains are America's most prized materials: the ever-expanding collection of records that now accompany each of us from birth to death. This data complex backs up and protects our most vital information against decay and destruction, and yet it binds us to corporate and government institutions whose power is also preserved in its bunkers, infrastructures, and sterilized spaces. We the Dead traces the emergence of the data complex in the early twentieth century and guides readers through its expansion in a series of moments when Americans thought they were living just before the end of the world. Depression-era eugenicists feared racial contamination and the downfall of the white American family, while contemporary technologists seek ever denser and more durable materials for storing data, from microetched metal discs to cryptocurrency keys encoded in synthetic DNA. Artfully written and packed with provocative ideas, this haunting book illuminates the dark places of the data complex and the ways it increasingly blurs the lines between human and machine, biological body and data body, life and digital afterlife.

What is multiculturalism and what are the different theories used to justify it? Are multicultural policies a threat to liberty and equality? Can liberal democracies accommodate minority groups without sacrificing peace and stability? In this clear introduction to the subject, Michael Murphy explores these questions and critically assesses multiculturalism from the standpoint of political philosophy and political practice. The book explores the origins and contemporary usage of the concept of multiculturalism in the context of debates about citizenship, egalitarian justice and conflicts between individual and collective rights. The ideas of some of the most influential champions and critics of multiculturalism, including Will Kymlicka, Chandran Kukathas, Susan Okin and Brian Barry, are also clearly explained and evaluated. Key themes include the tension between multiculturalism and gender equality, cultural relativism and the limits of liberal toleration, and the impact of multicultural policies on social cohesion ethnic conflict. Murphy also surveys the legal practices and policies enacted to accommodate multiculturalism, drawing on examples from the Americas, Australasia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Multiculturalism: A Critical Introduction is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to the topic for the first time as well as those already familiar with some of the key issues.

In 1906, the downtown area of Los Angeles was fundamentally a small town when Charles Von der Ahe opened his little Groceteria on the corner of Seventh and Figueroa Streets using $1,200 in savings. It was a neighborhood store that catered to the needs of local families, where Von der Ahe pioneered "cash and carry," replacing the "charge and delivery" way of thinking. Its expansion and innovation over the next 90 years was legendary, growing to more than 325 stores and 30,000 employees. This book focuses on the legacy of this great company, its visionary leaders, and its dedicated employees who made it the number one grocery retailer in Southern California.
Following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, numerous "atomic narratives"--books, newspapers, magazines, textbooks, movies, and television programs--addressed the implications of the bomb. Post-World War II youth encountered atomic narratives in their daily lives at school, at home and in their communities, and were profoundly affected by what they read and saw. This multidisciplinary study examines the exposure of American youth to atomic narratives during the ten years following World War II. In addition, it examines the broader "social narrative of the atom," which included educational, social, cultural, and political activities that surrounded and involved American youth. The activities ranged from school and community programs to movies and television shows to government-sponsored traveling exhibits on atomic energy. The book also presents numerous examples of writings by postwar adolescents, who clearly expressed their conflicted feelings about growing up in such a tumultuous time, and shows how many of the issues commonly associated with the sixties generation, such as peace, fellowship, free expression, and environmental concern, can be traced to this earlier generation.

Stakeholder thinking in marketingStakeholder thinking is becoming a "core" part of marketing as well as other businessrelated disciplines. A search of the business source primmer database found that priorto 1995 there are 58 articles using the term stakeholder in their title and 27 academicmarketing related articles with stakeholder as a key term. The interest in stakeholdertheory has however grown rapidly, between January 2000 and November 2004 therewere 228 articles using stakeholder theory in the title and 140 academic marketingrelated journal articles that examined stakeholder issues. In fact the American Marketing Association's (AMA, 2004) new definition ofmarketing expressly incorporates our responsibility to consider how marketingactivities impact stakeholders:Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways thatbenefit the organization and its stakeholders. Thus the AMA has recognised the core role of stakeholder thinking. While there is an increased interest in stakeholder thinking in marking, anexamination of the literature would seem to suggest that there is no unified view ofhow stakeholder thinking can be or should be integrated into theory or practice. Manyof the stakeholder works, marketing and in other disciplines, still focus on the socialand ethical impacts of stakeholders. This may have been where much off stakeholderthinking initially gained its prominence, but it is a broader strategic tool that canbenefit a range of areas and was in fact the focus of Freeman's (1984) original work inthe area. This is not to suggest that the general strategic implications of stakeholderthinking are not being consider, as an increasingly number of works are looking atstakeholder implications in regards to exchange networks, relationship marketing, andother issues related to strategy development. The papers in this special issue have considered a range of varying perspectivesincluding: corporate social responsibility, the impact of interacting with stakeholders, relationship issues, and broader discussions of stakeholder theory as a strategic tool. These papers have taken a diverse range of perspectives including conceptual works, case studies, qualitative approaches, and various empirical approaches to examiningthe issues of interest within various pieces. The scope of papers included in the special, as well as those not included, identifies the breadth of relevance stakeholder thinkinghas for the application of all aspects of marketing theory and practice. The question of how stakeholders and stakeholder theory can be considered inorganisational activities and marketing theory is an issue that most certainly seems towarrant further consideration. The works in this special issue have advanced thisdebate and identified some directions that could be considered. Stakeholder thinking ishowever not necessarily a paradigm shift in marketing thinking, although some mightbelieve it is, but rather it broadens existing concepts such as relationship marketing, network theory, organisational social responsibility and other areas. Hopefully thepapers presented in this special issue will encourage others to consider the inclusion ofstakeholders into broader areas of marketing. Any special issue editor has to thank a range of people for assistance withdeveloping the special issue. I would like to thank Audrey Gilmore and David Carson, editors of EJM, for allowing the special issue to be developed. Their input through theprocess has been invaluable. I would also like to thank the many authors ofunsuccessful papers for submitting their work. It was of course impossible to includeall papers in the special issue, but the breadth of coverage, in regards to topics andgeographic areas would seem to demonstrate the growing interest in stakeholderthinking within marketing. Lastly, it is imperative that I thank the reviewers, withouttheir assistance the special issue would not have been possible. The following peoplereviewed papers for the special issue:.

Our culture is rife with the inference of the existence of life on other planets. Indeed, life technologically capable of visiting our planet on a regular basis. Such visitation forms the core for a sizable group of individuals who profoundly believe that they have seen, been visited by or even abducted by Aliens. So the fabric is woven into a tale of a common man whose destiny sends him out of this world. Jack Sharpes a regular guy, jilted by his fianc hes drowning his sorrows at the local pub, when his world is transformed by a gentleman offering him passage on a space ship! The man is Isiah Walker and hes a recruiter. Isiah isnt recruiting just any down on his luck drunk. Nope hes looking for a special type. He seeks people without attachments. Those who disappear and all thats said is: Whatever happened to whats his name? Nobody with close family or close friends which narrows the field down to what, maybe a couple of hundred million people? Jack fits and Isiah offers him a job working out in the suburbs of space, the hinterlands of the galaxy. Jack considers the proposal even as events close in around him and send him where our sun dont shine. Mankind joins a race of galactic observers; beings that have watched us develop for hundreds of years. Theyve discovered alien intruders so powerful and frightening they are forced into action. They must use Humanity to help destroy this potential threat to the Universe. The race is devouring planets and taking the spoils to an unknown destination. So the journey begins and takes us into the everyday lives of the space borne humans inhabiting an enormous craft designed and built by humans with Alien technology. Jack learns about himself and his capabilities, hes mentally connected with a one hundred ninety pound puppy of questionable breeding. He gains true friends and meets a very special woman. As Jack and his group train hard for an unknown mission their reward comes in the form of a one-way ticket to a planet that is systematically being destroyed by the mysterious and hideous aliens. There they witness the Death of a Planet a planet they will try desperately to save.
A unique collection of manuscripts from Beings of Light. This volume is the first in a continuation of teachings from places and dimensions far beyond our human understanding
An argument against the myth of "American exceptionalism" Endless Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire helps us to come to terms with what we have long suspected: the rise of the U.S. Empire has relied upon an almost unimaginable loss of life, from its inception during the European colonial period, to the present. And yet, in the face of a series of endless holocausts at home and abroad, the doctrine of American exceptionalism has plagued the globe for over a century. However much the ruling class insists on U.S. superiority, we find ourselves in the midst of a sea change. Perpetual wars, deteriorating economic conditions, the resurgence of white supremacy, and the rise of the Far Right have led millions of people to abandon their illusions about this country. Never before have so many people rejected or questioned traditional platitudes about the United States. In Endless Holocausts author David Michael Smith demolishes the myth of exceptionalism by demonstrating that manifold forms of mass death, far from being unfortunate exceptions to an otherwise benign historical record, have been indispensable in the rise of the wealthiest and most powerful imperium in the history of the world. At the same time, Smith points to an extraordinary history of resistance by Indigenous peoples, people of African descent, people in other nations brutalized by U.S. imperialism, workers, and democratic-minded people around the world determined to fight for common dignity and the sake of the greater good.
The anti-busing riots of 1974 forever changed Southie, Boston's working class Irish community, branding it as a violent, racist enclave. Michael Patrick MacDonald grew up in Southie's Old Colony housing project. He describes the way this world within a world felt to the troubled yet keenly gifted observer he was even as a child: "[as if] we were protected, as if the whole neighborhood was watching our backs for threats, watching for all the enemies we could never really define." But the threats-poverty, drugs, a shadowy gangster world-were real. MacDonald lost four of his siblings to violence and poverty. All Souls is heart-breaking testimony to lives lost too early, and the story of how a place so filled with pain could still be "the best place in the world." We meet Ma, Michael's mini-skirted, accordian-playing, usually single mother who cares for her children—there are eventually eleven—through a combination of high spirits and inspired "getting over." And there are Michael's older siblings—Davey, sweet artist-dreamer; Kevin, child genius of scam; and Frankie, Golden Gloves boxer and neighborhood hero—whose lives are high-wire acts played out in a world of poverty and pride. But too soon Southie becomes a place controlled by resident gangster Whitey Bulger, later revealed to be an FBI informant even as he ran the drug culture that Southie supposedly never had. It was a world primed for the escalation of class violence-and then, with deadly and sickening inevitability, of racial violence that swirled around forced busing. MacDonald, eight years old when the riots hit, gives an explosive account of the asphalt warfare. He tells of feeling "part of it all, part of something bigger than I'd ever imagined, part of something that was on the national news every night." Within a few years-a sequence laid out in All Souls with mesmerizing urgency-the neighborhood's collapse is echoed by the MacDonald family's tragedies. All but destroyed by grief and by the Southie code that doesn't allow him to feel it, MacDonald gets out. His work as a peace activist, first in the all-Black neighborhoods of nearby Roxbury, then back to the Southie he can't help but love, is the powerfully redemptive close to a story that will leave readers utterly shaken and changed.
This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the global diffusion of the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and its impact on military innovation trajectories in small states. Although the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA) concept has enjoyed significant academic attention, the varying paths and patterns of military innovation in divergent strategic settings have been overlooked. This book seeks to rectify this gap by addressing the broad puzzle of how the global diffusion of RMA-oriented military innovation – the process of international transmission, communication, and interaction of RMA-related military concepts, organizations, and technologies - has shaped the paths, patterns, and scope of military innovation of selected small states. In a reverse mode, how have selected small states influenced the conceptualization and transmission of the RMA theory, processes, and debate? Using Israel, Singapore and South Korea as case studies, this book argues that RMA-oriented military innovation paths in small states indicate predominantly evolutionary trajectory, albeit with a varying patterns resulting from the confluence of three sets of variables: (1) the level of strategic, organizational, and operational adaptability in responding to shifts in the geostrategic and regional security environment; (2) the ability to identify, anticipate, exploit, and sustain niche military innovation – select conceptual, organizational, and technological innovation intended to enhance the military’s ability to prepare for, fight, and win wars, and (3) strategic culture. While the book represents relevant empirical cases for testing the validity of the RMA diffusion hypotheses, from a policy-oriented perspective, this book argues that these case studies offer lessons learned in coping with the security and defence management challenges posed by military innovation in general. This book will be of much interest for students of military innovation, strategic studies, defence studies, Asian politics, Middle Eastern politics and security studies in general.

In the first volume of his memoirs, As Far As I Remember, Michael Bawtree told the story of his youthful years, from his birth in Australia to growing up in England during and after World War II, with an education at Radley College and Worcester College, Oxford and a two-year stint in the British Army. In this second volume he recounts his experience as a raw new immigrant in Canada, and his first steps as a professional actor, a university instructor, a book critic, dramaturge and playwright. In the years that followed he made a name for himself at the newly-founded Simon Fraser University, where he initiated the theatre program, and at the Stratford Festival, where he eventually served as Associate Director and director of the Third Stage, before leaving to freelance as a theatre director both in Canada and the USA. In 1975 he founded COMUS Music Theatre with Maureen Forrester, and went on to establish himself as a pioneer in Canadian music theatre development. The volume finishes in 1977 as he is on his way for the first time to the Banff Centre, where he was to play a major role in the following ten years. Michael's story, elegantly and amusingly written, gives us a vivid picture of Canada's theatre activity in the sixties and seventies, with honest though not always flattering portraits of some of its most distinguished artists. He is also open and honest about himself, recounting his failures and well as his successes, and sharing with us what became the love of his life.ÿ

This book gives a historical and contemporary overview of the redistricting process, using North Carolina for the different political, electoral, and legal issues and debates over the practice of drawing legislative district boundaries. Redistricting has been characterized as “the most political activity in America,” and North Carolina has often been at the heart of recent controversies over this particular activity. In fact, the Tar Heel state was once described as “long notorious for (its) outrageous reapportionment.” Through legislative construction to significant legal challenges, the Tar Heel state has been a noted case study for the past thirty years. From the contentious issues of redistricting principles to the matters of gerrymandering, based on race and politics, North Carolina’s past three decades have seen major U.S. Supreme Court cases deal with redistricting controversies. By exploring this state’s dealings with gerrymandering and redistricting, readers will have a better sense of the dynamics facing the nation as it confronts the 2020 Census and the subsequent redistricting efforts in 2021.
No other country has devised a grand strategy for managing China’s rising economic and military power as deliberately or successfully as Japan. Seeking to counter Chinese ambitions toward regional hegemony, Japan has taken an increasingly assertive role in East Asia and the world. During the tenure of Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, the country pursued closer security cooperation with the United States and other democracies, established a more centralized national defense system, and advanced rules and norms to preserve the open regional order in the Indo-Pacific that is crucial to its prosperity and survival—all while managing an important economic relationship with China. In Line of Advantage, Michael J. Green provides a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of Japan’s strategic thinking under Abe. He explains the foundational logic and the worldview behind this approach, from key precedents in Japanese history to the specific economic, defense, and diplomatic priorities shaping contemporary policy toward China, the United States, the two Koreas, and the Indo-Pacific region. Drawing on two decades of access to Abe and other Japanese political, military, and business leaders, Green provides an insider’s perspective on subjects such as how Japan pursued competition with China without losing the benefits of economic cooperation. Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of Japan’s new active role, Line of Advantage sheds new light on a period with profound implications for the future of U.S. competition with China and international affairs in Asia more broadly.

A bibliography of science fiction and fantasy writer, editor, and publisher Robert Reginald, with an introduction by William F. Nolan and an Afterword by Jack Dann.
The world has seldom been as dangerous as it is now. Rogue regimes—governments and groups that eschew diplomatic normality, sponsor terrorism, and proliferate nuclear weapons—threaten the United States around the globe. Because sanctions and military action are so costly, the American strategy of first resort is dialogue, on the theory that “it never hurts to talk to enemies.” Seldom is conventional wisdom so wrong. Engagement with rogue regimes is not cost-free, as Michael Rubin demonstrates by tracing the history of American diplomacy with North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, the Taliban’s Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Further challenges to traditional diplomacy have come from terrorist groups, such as the PLO in the 1970s and 1980s, or Hamas and Hezbollah in the last two decades. The argument in favor of negotiation with terrorists is suffused with moral equivalence, the idea that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Rarely does the actual record of talking to terrorists come under serious examination. While soldiers spend weeks developing lessons learned after every exercise, diplomats generally do not reflect on why their strategy toward rogues has failed, or consider whether their basic assumptions have been faulty. Rubin’s analysis finds that rogue regimes all have one thing in common: they pretend to be aggrieved in order to put Western diplomats on the defensive. Whether in Pyongyang, Tehran, or Islamabad, rogue leaders understand that the West rewards bluster with incentives and that the U.S. State Department too often values process more than results.

This much-awaited final volume of The Birds of British Columbia completes what some have called one of the most important regional ornithological works in North America. It is the culmination of more than 25 years of effort by the authors who, with the assistance of thousands of dedicated volunteers throughout the province, have created the basic reference work on the avifauna of British Columbia.
First published in 1968, Learning Begins at Home records an attempt by two researchers to initiate and assess an innovation in a school in a working-class neighbourhood. The influence of parents upon children’s achievement is a platitude of education. The vital question is whether schools can become centres for education for adults as well as children, influencing the parents directly, and the children indirectly through the parents. The research reported in this book suggests that it would be worthwhile for teachers to give more of their time to cooperation with parents. This book will be of interest to students of education and sociology.
