Fertility And Pleasure: Ritual And Sexual Values in Tokugawa Japan by William R. Lindsey
Univ of Hawaii Pr | December 30, 2006 | English | ISBN: 0824830369 | 234 pages | PDF | 10 MB
As their ubiquitous presence in Tokugawa artwork and literature suggests, images of bourgeois wives and courtesans took on iconic status as representations of two opposing sets of female values. Their differences, both real and idealized, indicate the full range of female roles and sexual values affirmed by Tokugawa society, with Buddhist celibacy on the one end and the relatively free sexual associations of the urban and rural lower classes on the other.
The roles of courtesan and bourgeois housewife were each tied to a set of value-based behaviors, the primary institution to which a woman belonged, and rituals that sought to model a woman's comportment in her interactions with men and figures of authority. For housewives, it was fertility values, promulgated by lifestyle guides and moral texts, which embraced the ideals of female obedience, loyalty to the husband's household, and sexual activity aimed at producing an heir. Pleasure values, by contrast, flourished in the prostitution quarters and embraced playful relations and nonreproductive sexual activity designed to increase the bordello's bottom line. What William Lindsey reveals in this well-researched study is that, although the values that idealized the role of wife and courtesan were highly disparate, the rituals, symbols, and popular practices both engaged in exhibited a degree of similitude and parallelism. "Fertility and Pleasure" examines the rituals available to young women in the household and pleasure quarters that could be employed to affirm, transcend, or resist these sets of sexual values. In doing so it affords new views of Tokugawa society and Japanese religion. Highly original in its theoretical approach and its juxtaposition of texts, "Fertility and Pleasure" constitutes an important addition to the fields of Japanese religion and history and the study of gender and sexuality in other societies and cultures.

Why Aren't We Saving the Planet?: A Psychologist's Perspective by Geoffrey Beattie
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0415561965, 0415561973 | 284 pages | PDF | 2,4 MB
Global warming. Many of us believe that it is somebody else's problem, that it will affect other people and that other people will come up with the solution. This is not true. "Global" warming is a global problem: it will affect every single one of us and will only be stopped by a huge shift in our individual attitudes and behaviour. Each time one of us switches on a light, reaches for something in a supermarket, gets into a car or bus, or even chooses what clothes to buy, we are making a choice that can affect the environment. We already know that we need to start making better choices for the sake of our natural world, now.

Traumatised and Non-Traumatised States of the Personality: A Clinical Understanding Using Bion's Approach by Rafael E. Lopez-Corvo
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1782201378 | 368 pages | PDF | 1 MB
This book offers an original conception of trauma and of the working mind that has not been previously presented. It is mostly based on essentials taken from Bion's contributions. All human beings are fatalistically marked by the presence and eventual disappearance of primary part-objects.
Many of these "presence-absences" are temporary events, but others will overcome Freud's "protective shield" and become permanent, amounting to an enduring distress or "pre-conceptual trauma". Like the Mad Hatter's teatime in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, pre-conceptual traumas become an eternal now that are continuously projected everywhere. They structure the specific idiosyncrasy of every human and split the mind in two opposite states, the traumatized and the non-traumatized. Tentatively, the spirit and fundamental nature of the absolute ubiquity and meaning of pre-conceptual traumas could be forumulated as being diachronically structured in terms of a narrative of conjoined presences of absences, ones which stand for highly toxic and emotionally organized parasites that inhabit the unconscious mind from very early, and which feed on time and space, inhibit processes of symbolization, are projected everywhere, and reproduce themselves incessantly. They thereby determine not only all forms of psychopathology, but also the idiosyncrasy of every existing individual.

Nicholas Ostler, "The Last Lingua Franca: English Until the Return of Babel"
English | 2010-11-23 | ISBN: 0802717713 | 352 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 1.30 mb + 1.74 mb
English is the world's lingua franca-the most widely spoken language in human history. And yet, as historian and linguist Nicholas Ostler persuasively argues, English will not only be displaced as the world's language in the not-distant future, it will be the last lingua franca, not replaced by another. Empire, commerce, and religion have been the primary raisons d'etre for lingua francas--Greek, Latin, Arabic have all held the position--and Ostler explores each through the lens of civilizations spanning the globe and history, from China and India to Russia and Europe. Three trends emerge that suggest the ultimate decline of English and other lingua francas. Movements throughout the world towards equality in society will downgrade the status of elites--and since elites are the prime users of non-native English, the language will gradually retreat to its native-speaking territories. The rising wealth of Brazil, Russia, India, and China will challenge the dominance of native-English-speaking nations--thereby shrinking the international preference for English. Simultaneously, new technologies will allow instant translation among major languages, enhacing the status of mother tongues and lessening the necessity for any future lingua franca.Ostler predicts a soft landing for English: It will still be widely spoken, if no longer worldwide, sustained by America's continued power on the world stage. But its decline will be both symbolic and significant, evidence of grand shifts in the cultural effects of empire. The Last Lingua Franca is both an insightful examination of the trajectory of our own mother tongue and a fascinating lens through which to view the sweep of history.

OCD Treatment Through Storytelling: A Strategy for Successful Therapy by Allen H. Weg
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0195383567 | 208 pages | PDF | 0,6 MB
Storytelling and metaphor are among the most effective and useful tools therapists can use to better identify with their clients, clearly explain a disorder to family members, and introduce new treatment options. Based on years of clinical work with clients with OCD and their families, OCD Treatment Through Storytelling contains dozens of stories that therapists can adapt and employ in their own practices to explain hard-to-grasp aspects of OCD and its most effective treatment, Exposure and Response Prevention. Through Allen Weg's engaging narratives, an experience at Toronto's CN Tower becomes a lesson about OCD treatment; a popular science fiction film is a parable on how clients can overcome fears and phobias. Entertaining and accessible, these stories-some autobiographical, some universal-each illuminate a feeling, a strategy, a dynamic, or an intervention relevant to OCD or its treatment. Stories become methods of instruction and engagement in treatment, creating a solid foundation upon which to build understanding, empathy and support for those with OCD and their families. OCD Treatment Through Storytelling is a unique and useful resource for all mental health professionals who provide therapeutic services to persons with OCD and their families, and will be of interest to anyone wishing to better understand "the OCD experience."

Oshawa businesses evacuated as fire engulfs industrial plant
City briefly imposes "shelter in place" rules for many residents near Saturday blaze which sent large plumes of black smoke skyward.

View 2 photoszoom
Streets in south Courtice and parts of Oshawa were nearly empty Saturday afternoon when emergency crews ordered a lockdown affecting more than 1,000 homes and businesses due to a thick haze of potentially hazardous smoke from a fire at an asphalt plant in Oshawa.
The fire erupted at McAsphalt Industries Limited on Farewell St., just south of Highway 401 near the Oshawa Port, around 5:30 a.m.
Firefighters thought the blaze was under control by 9 a.m., but it flared up again after spreading to other areas of the warehouse.
"It's gone through the roof and several areas of the building have collapsed," said Oshawa Fire chief fire prevention officer Susan King. "The whole building is compromised…. It's for sure unsalvageable."
The thick, black smoke was visible from Hwy. 401 in Pickering in mid-afternoon, billowing hundreds of feet into the air.
Since the plant contains rubber and plastic products, the smoke might be carcinogenic, Durham Regional Police warned. A number of businesses in the area were evacuated, said acting Duty Insp. Gerry Moote at the scene.
The City of Oshawa asked residents to remain indoors and keep their homes closed up tight for much of the day. The lockdown was lifted just before 6 p.m. Saturday evening.
Officials with the Ministry of the Environment were called to the fire to conduct air sampling.
"(They) have reported that the levels are within acceptable limits," the City of Oshawa website early Saturday evening.
Ministry officials will continue to monitor the air quality in the impacted areas, the website stated.
Kate Jordan, a spokesperson for the ministry, said in an email a cleanup company has been hired by McAsphalt and containment measures have been put in place to manage the runoff water from the firefighting effort. As a precaution, areas of the harbour have been boomed — a form of containment measure placed on surface water to absorb any materials — and the ministry will ensure cleanup of the area is done properly, she added.
Fire trucks and police cars were stationed on main roads in a number of neighbourhoods north of Highway 401 where the smoke filled the area.
Outside of a handful of people stopping to take photos of the fire in the Oshawa Port area, many people were in their homes.
"(The fire) is quite a sight to see. However, it is not the healthiest smoke," said Durham police spokesperson Cindy Flynn.
Residents living south of Olive Ave. and east of Harmony Rd. were asked to close their windows and stay inside. Although police initially expected the dangerous smoke to blow towards nearby Lake Ontario, the wind pushed it toward the neighbourhood.
"We're asking people to stay inside because of the large amount of smoke," King said. She couldn't confirm whether the smoke is carcinogenic, but insisted that "no smoke is healthy for you."
Polymer pellets and skids were the main products housed in the building, Oshawa Fire confirmed.
"We'll definitely be staying there tonight and into (Sunday) morning to make sure any hot spots or flare ups are dealt with," King said.
McAsphalt's website describes the company as being "at the forefront of new paving technologies" and committed to developing "innovative asphalt materials & processes."
Homes and local businesses in the area — including the General Motors headquarters— were evacuated as a result."We are putting out an emergency measures message advising people to stay inside," said Flynn.
Local resident Richard Dukeshire, who lives near the plant, said that by 2 p.m. fire crews were still struggling to extinguish the flames.
"They don't have it under control at all," said Dukeshire. "There are firemen running around, Hazmat teams, everything. There are massive flames fifty feet up in the air."
There are nine fire trucks and 35 firefighters currently battling the blaze, King said. The Ministry of Environment also attended to assist fire crews.
McAsphalt Industries is located in an industrial area where FarmTech Energy plans on building a controversial ethanol planted this spring. Some residents pointed to the fire as an example of why the plant, approved by the Oshawa Port Authority, may be a bad idea. ere, especially next to this plant," said Oshawa resident Bruce Borland. "These are pretty nasty fumes dropping on a subdivision. It smells bad
"This is a classic example of why it shouldn't be th. And ethanol is a very volatile substance."
No injuries were reported in the fire.

In a long-lost age, a party of adventurers are frozen into stone by the stare of some gorgon-like creature. An unscrupulous rogue, coming across the frozen party several centuries later, decides to haul off two of the statues to decorate his den. Upon his death, an artisan friend of his claims a statue and sells it to a rich merchant, passing it off as his own work. Years later, the merchant gilds the statue in bronze and re-sells it at a much higher price. After passing through the art markets for many decades, the statue ends up in the hallways of a mage academy. Imagine the chaos and confusion when a young mage's spell happens to break the curse of stone, returning the adventurer to life several centuries after his petrification! Is he interrogated by historians? Driven mad by the change of times? Or does he set off on a quest to find and liberate his other frozen party-members?
In nature, for instance, a rhino has flies and ticks etc, that live on the hide and live off the blood. Rhino will visit and lie in ponds where turtles will clean the underwater portion of the ticks and a species of bird will clean the the top of ticks and other parasites. What if where the characters camp there were a species of animals that lived off wounds of the creatures. PCs camp. Anybody with wounds on there body are soon covered with small rodent - insect - shadows - whatever. Would immediately see it as a threat I would imagine. But perhaps one of the wounded didn't wake up when it happened, and when they did finally wake they were completely healed. Perhaps somebody was warned of something attacking them but they were able to notice that the wound was actually getting smaller instead of larger. Or maybe they successfully beat the creatures off them and don't notice an improvement, marking this place never to rest at ever again....later learn that villagers send their wounded there but they keep it a guarded secret because they don't want all the attention or traffic and what comes with such a special gift. Could turn into something more too if characters decide to start blabbing about it.

GENEVA – The Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced today that it had decided to terminate the employment of its Inspector General, John Parsons.
The Board decision came after a careful review of his performance, which was found to be unsatisfactory.
Mr. Parsons was responsible for overseeing audits and investigations by the Office of the Inspector General, whose mission is to provide the Global Fund with independent and objective assurance over the design and effectiveness of controls in place to manage risks affecting programs supported by the Global Fund.
The Board confirms its full support for an independent and strong Office of the Inspector General.
The Board said robust audits and investigations are essential to the health of the Global Fund, to root out instances of financial impropriety and to assure donors and implementers that money is properly accounted for.
The Board said it made its decision based on factors including: a performance review; an independent external peer review of the audit function; and a report to the Board by its Audit and Ethics Committee. The decision is effective today.
The Board further said that it recognized the need to maintain continuity in the work of the audits and investigations currently underway, while the Global Fund conducts a search for a new Inspector General.
The Board said it will employ a similar search process to the effective and successful recruitment it recently completed to select a new Executive Director. The Board expects the search for a new Inspector General to take about six months. An interim Inspector General will be appointed shortly.
The Global Fund is committed to the highest standards of accountability and responsibility. If you have heard of any instance of inappropriate use of money related to the Global Fund, please report it immediately, here: Report Fraud and Abuse

Duck Dynasty Star: "If We Can't Pray To God On The Show, Then We Will Not Do The Show."
There's not a lot of good things that you can say about most of the reality TV shows that are out there.
A lot of the shows feature human trash that you're invited to mock and laugh at. In fact, that was probably the vibe the producers of Duck Dynasty were hoping to produce. They were probably hoping that they had a bunch a goofy southern rednecks with beards for the "smart set" in Hollywood and San Francisco to mock.
However, while the show is funny and the ratings have been fantastic, Hollywood may have gotten more than it bargained for with the Duck Dynasty crew. The "Beards" are pro-family, pro-hunting, pro-guns and pro-God and apparently they've had some complaints about it. Unsurprisingly, not everybody likes a popular show that paints a positive picture of God and guns. However, the wacky, good natured grandfather on Duck Dynasty, Phil Robertson, laid down the law: Take God or guns out of the show and THERE WILL BE NO SHOW.
Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson said, "God and guns are part of our everyday lives [and] to remove either of them from the show is unacceptable."
According to a post 93.1 The Wolf put in their Facebook page, Phil also said: "If we can't pray to God on the show, then we will not do the show." The post received more than 126,000 Facebook "likes."
Not everybody has the courage to stand up for what he believes, particularly when there may be money and fame on the line. The fact that Phil Robertson is willing to do it says a lot about his character. If this country had more Christians who felt the same way, it would be a better place.

Police said someone entered unlocked vehicles on Townline Road in Mendon and Rutland Town sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning.
Then on Saturday night into Sunday, multiple cars and garages were entered and items of value were stolen on Cedar Lane in Mendon and on Park Lane and Post Road extension in Rutland Town.
According to police, an unknown subject entered, rummaged through unlocked vehicles, and stole various items. During two of these thefts, unattached garages were entered and items were stolen.

Marketing Persona: The Importance of Back Story
Do you know your target audience? To understand their potential buyers, marketers create personas to represent the key segments. The process of creating a marketing persona (including a social media buyer persona) is similar to the way playwrights and screenwriters develop characters for their comedies and dramas.
Key to development of a character or marketing persona is that person's backstory: everything in the character's past that influences how he feels about himself in the world and how that experience shapes how he relates to your product or service.
Content Marketing World keynote speaker William Shatner made the point that for an actor, everything is in play when portraying a character. "The backstory is as important as the story itself and can convey the same message. Layer the story. Step out of the obvious."
Therefore, the actor must innately understand what the character is feeling when they're playing a role. For Shatner, this meant creating a backstory to portray Priceline's The Negotiator to encompass non-verbal communication.
Often marketers are so busy creating fresh content that they neglect to consider the backstory of their prospect or customer and their relationship to the product or service. As a result, their content is Teflon and its message may not stick with their audience because it hasn't taken into consideration how the buyer feels about the content as well as the product or service.
7 Attributes to create a convincing marketing persona backstory
To develop a convincing marketing persona backstory as a conduit for understanding your target audience and creating strong content, here are 7 attributes used by dramatists that marketers can adapt to develop effective personas for their key segments.
- Values and beliefs. What are your potential buyer's political, social, and economic views as they relate to your offering? How does this influence her propensity to purchase from your company? How does your product influence how she feels about herself?
- Family. How does your customer's family influence her buying habits? Is she single, married, have children or is widowed? This has an impact on what she buys and whose opinions hold sway over her decisions. Don't underestimate the impact of upbringing and view towards money.
- Profession and education. These two elements go together. Specifically what does your target customer do for a living and where are they in their career? This influences the amount of disposable income they have and can sway different brand choices. Further level of education and where a customer attended school can influence choices.
- Potential concerns. What is fears does your target audience have? How does this influence their buying behavior? For example, in many companies, it's easier to purchase from one of the top vendors than to go through the process of getting special approval.
- Physical location. This speaks to your buyer's context. Where is her home and where is she when she decides to buy from you? Consider the elements of location and the role it plays in purchase. Are you the regular supplier or just a quick fix due to circumstances.
- Timing. It also relates to product availability. This encompasses a number of factors such as what is the prospect's time horizon for purchase and how does this relate to her overall needs?
- Past buying behavior. Most importantly this relates to your company's products and services. You should be able to access this information in your database including what they bought, how much they spent and for how long they've been purchasing from your firm. But don't be limited by this data. Consider your buyers' tradeoffs and rationale for their decision. For example, you've got longer store hours or provide free delivery.
Developing a backstory for your marketing and social media buyer persona helps you as a marketer to better understand your target audience and create content that meets their needs. Take a tip from William Shatner, an actor who has portrayed a variety of well loved characters – backstory enables you to walk in your target market's shoes.
What other traits would you add to the list of backstory elements and why?
Happy Marketing,
Heidi Cohen
BTW—I will be speaking on the topic of marketing persona at CRM 2013 in Lima, Peru on October 15th and in Bogota, Colombia on October 17th.

300 Years of Insurrection in the American SouthIn 1891, when coal companies in eastern Tennessee brought in cheap convict labor to take over their jobs, workers responded by storming the stockades, freeing the prisoners, and loading them onto freight trains. Over the next year, tactics escalated to include burning company property and looting company stores. This was one of the largest insurrections in US working-class history. It happened at

Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar said he feels he has gone some way to silencing his critics at the FIFA World Cup.
Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar said he feels he has gone some way to silencing his critics at the FIFA World Cup.
Cesar has played all 180 minutes for the hosts in their 3-1 win over Croatia and their 0-0 stalemate with Mexico in Group A.
The Toronto FC custodian said the criticism levelled at him for joining the MLS had inspired him to two solid defensive performances, blighted only by an own goal in the tournament opener.
"During my first press conference here (in Brazil) I made it quite clear that I had prepared a lot to be here aside from the fact that a lot of people criticised me for the choice that I made to play in a league that, in theory, is a little bit weaker," the former Inter Milan shot-stopper said.
"But I think what's more important that these people were criticising my work, and I managed to get the trust of the technical commission and my team-mates, and I'm working well.
"I think that during the first game we had a good defence, which helps things when you get a ball that goes in front of the net. It was the same thing in the game against Mexico. The team had a good defence so I could help the squad and maintain a score 0-0.
"This trust, it's important for a goalkeeper."
Despite being unbeaten through two games, Brazil are not assured of their knockout-phase spot heading into their group finale with Cameroon.
A loss to the African nation, combined with a Croatia-Mexico draw would eliminate Luiz Felipe Scolari's side.
And Cesar said he is not taking the fixture for granted, despite Cameroon already unable to qualify for the last 16.
"We knew that it wouldn't be an easy group. I think that Mexico, Croatia, and Cameroon is a complicated group. And in a certain way it was great for us," the 34-year-old said.
He added: "I think in other World Cups Brazil had qualified past the group stage earlier, which is great since you're more relaxed but right now we aren't in a position where we are comfortable, comfortable in the standings.
"We're in a good standing, where we can control things well and we could get to the last game and still qualify first in our group."

Kentucky Colleges Award More Degrees This Year Than Ever Before, State Says
Originally published on Tue June 24, 2014 6:02 am
Kentucky's colleges and universities awarded more degrees than ever before in the 2013-14 academic year, according to a report by the Council on Postsecondary Education.
More than 63,000 degrees and credentials were awarded during the 2013-14 school year—1.2 percent more than last year, but 60 percent more than a decade ago.
The increase can be attributed to institutions "reaching out and encouraging more people to attend" and improvements in the state's public school system, said Robert King, president of the Council on Postsecondary Education, the state agency that oversees higher education.
"All of that goes to improve the quality of our workforce and strengthen the state's economy," King told WFPL on Monday.
Here's a breakdown of state schools:
If you're having trouble seeing the graphic, go here.
Of course, tuition has increased in recent years—and so has debt. More students graduating from colleges or universities, whether public or private, can also translate into more people being in debt from student loans.
"Slowly but surely, the amount of debt that is accumulating as a consequence of going to college is increasing," King said.
The average debt load taken on by a student who graduates from a Kentucky college or university is about $22,000, King said. The national average of student loan debt is $29,400, according to the Institute for College Access and Success.
"That's a lot of money to a young person," he said. "But (education) is still the single best investment a person can make for their future."
The decline of state financial support has put more of the cost burden on students, King said.
The number of students earning baccalaureate degrees increased most among independent schools at 9.6 percent, whereas public institutions increased just 1.6 percent.
The total number of students earning master's degrees was the only major degree category to see a decline, with nearly 7 percent less degrees awarded this academic school year than last year.
The University of Kentucky conferred the most degrees during the 2013-2014 school year, with just more than 6,000.
The University of Louisville awarded just more than 4,800 degrees this academic year—up 27 percent from 2003-2004. Graduate certificates awarded by UofL increase more than 400 percent in the same decade, the highest among any school in the state.

Wenger: Jeffers is our fox in the box
Related Articles
Published: 15 June 2001
The 20-year-old striker has joined the Gunners from Everton for an initial £8million, which could rise to £10m based on appearances.
Jeffers has yet to make the step up from the England Under-21 team, but believes moving to the north London club can only help his chances of earning full international recognition.
He said: "If you are playing at the top of the table, in the Champions League and winning trophies then people look at you, but I've not looked as far ahead as next year's World Cup. This is a massive club, one of the biggest in Europe with world-class players and I know I can improve as a player here."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hoping Jeffers is the first of four major summer signings.
He said: "I've signed Francis because he is a good player and has the qualities I need in my team. He is only 20 and he's a great example of a player with quality because he's already had experience of playing in the Premiership.
"Maybe people will be surprised that I have signed an Englishman, but I looked at his quality and not his passport. You need an English base and the right mixture at a club.
"Francis is that 'fox in the box' we have been talking about and although he is a goalscorer I want to develop him as a team player so he is not obsessed by just scoring goals."
Wenger also believes Jeffers will enhance his chances of international honours with his move to Highbury.
He said: "It is possible this move will further his international career. I've been impressed by his goalscoring record, especially away from home. He is used to the Premier League fight and knows what it is like to go to Southampton or Newcastle to get a result.
"Sometimes if you take a foreign striker he's not used to that English hardness in the box and it takes time for him to adapt." Jeffers, only the second Englishman signed by Wenger in his five-year reign at Arsenal, has set his sights on becoming as popular as Ian Wright at Highbury.
The Gunners have not had an outright goal-poacher since Wright left for West Ham three years ago.
Jeffers added: "If I can follow Ian Wright then I can become an instant hero. I have a decent goalscoring record and I hope to continue that. As soon as Arsenal said they wanted me, I didn't want to go anywhere else." The striker, who rejected the opportunity of prolonging his career at Goodison Park last month, travelled down to London yesterday morning to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.
In his short career with the club he supported as a boy, Jeffers managed to form an impressive partnership with Kevin Campbell, but made fewer than 40 starts, scoring 20 goals in the process.
Ankle and shoulder problems limited his appearances last season to just 14.
