Book excerpt: DINGS tells of a mother's struggle to support her son in the midst of a mysterious condition. Conner's school believes that he is not ready for promotion into the third grade. His teacher recommends that he repeat the second grade. Conner's dad is on a combat tour in 2006-7 Iraq; the adults in the boy's life assume that stress and anxiety about his father serving in a combat theater have interfered with his school achievement. Meanwhile, Sandra is embittered; she is forced to deal with her son's problem alone. A psychologist identifies Conner's anxieties and works to alleviate the child's stress. But, the boy's actual condition eludes the adults. He has unrecognized blank outs-his friends think that he acts "weird" sometimes. Sandra's husband returns from war, but all is not well. He has changed. She recognizes PTSD symptoms-Sam drinks more, snaps at the family and he has bad dreams-yet, he denies that anything is wrong. Sandra's emotional stresses mount. She sees that her husband is incapable of emotionally supporting her as they struggle to understand their son's difficulties; she is uncertain that she can keep her family together. One night, Conner gets a high fever and he has a convulsion. At the local E.R., he has a brain CT scan and he gets a spinal tap. The doctor suggests to the parents that epilepsy is a possible cause of the convulsion. He refers Conner to a neurologist. Sandra interprets the mere mention of epilepsy as a personal affront. How could her son have such a stigmatizing and debilitating disease? He has never had any seizures before. All of their lives change when they meet the neurologist. When epilepsy is diagnosed, Conner's mother is devastated. She questions if her child can be considered normal now-could he ever really lead a normal life? The reader will accompany this family as they travel their fascinating joint clinical and emotional journey to help their son. Sixty million people worldwide, including three million Americans, are afflicted with epilepsy. DINGS is fascinating and educational reading for anyone, and especially those touched directly or indirectly by this condition. For the readers' convenience, a practical glossary of epilepsy terms and medical information is appended at the end of the book.

Download or read book The Lord of the Ring Dings written by Stuart Anderson and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bobbits were generally not large but Filbo Daggins was larger and stranger than most and people in the Shire often said so. “I say, that Filbo is large,” said one. “Yes, that Filbo is larger and stranger than most,” said another. That evening Filbo would be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday. On their birthday, it was customary among the Bobbits to give gifts to other people. There was much grumbling in the Shire that Filbo usually gave presents such as gift certificates to stores nobody could find. . . . In The Lord of the Ring Dings, Sam and Dodo must overcome the evil Lord Sorehead, the nasty Sorry-Man, and a host of product placements to reach Door-Door and destroy the Ring Ding of Power. It's like The Lord of the Rings movies except the budget is much lower. Oregon courts Liv Tyler and Gimpley the dwarf woos the ladies of Middling-earth (both of them). The Elvis lend a hand, providing the travelers with the traditional Elvis food of meatloaf and fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Gandolf is around as well, but his spells generally don't work well and he forgets things a lot. And, of course, there's Jollum, the weird creature who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the precious Ring Ding. ADVANCE PRAISE for The Lord of the Ring Dings: “This book really nails it. It tells what really happened.” – Aragorn, King of Gondor “I thought my part could have been bigger.” – Arwen, Queen of Gondor “Although I am a wizard I never would have predicted such a fine book. Wait, that sounds cheesy. No, don't write that down.” – Gandalf, a wizard “I thought the portrayal of my great, great grand uncle was unfair. For example, he didn't like fish that much.” – Johann Sméagol III, Gollum's great, great grand nephew “I really wish there were more women in the story, or anywhere.” – Gimli, son of Glóin “I think I was much cooler in the movie, but in the book I was still pretty cool.” – Legolas “We no portrayed fair. Me no like.” – Gorkran, an Orc
Download or read book The Performative State written by Iza Yue Ding and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the state do when public expectations exceed its governing capacity? The Performative State shows how the state can shape public perceptions and defuse crises through the theatrical deployment of language, symbols, and gestures of good governance—performative governance. Iza Ding unpacks the black box of street-level bureaucracy in China through ethnographic participation, in-depth interviews, and public opinion surveys. She demonstrates in vivid detail how China's environmental bureaucrats deal with intense public scrutiny over pollution when they lack the authority to actually improve the physical environment. They assuage public outrage by appearing responsive, benevolent, and humble. But performative governance is hard work. Environmental bureaucrats paradoxically work themselves to exhaustion even when they cannot effectively implement environmental policies. Instead of achieving "performance legitimacy" by delivering material improvements, the state can shape public opinion through the theatrical performance of goodwill and sincere effort. The Performative State also explains when performative governance fails at impressing its audience and when governance becomes less performative and more substantive. Ding focuses on Chinese evidence but her theory travels: comparisons with Vietnam and the United States show that all states, democratic and authoritarian alike, engage in performative governance.

Download or read book Dream of Ding Village written by Yan Lianke and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant and harrowing novel” about a deadly epidemic fueled by corruption, based on real-life events in China (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Officially censored upon its Chinese publication, Dream of Ding Village is based on a real-life blood-selling scandal in eastern China. The novel is the result of three years of undercover work by Yan Lianke, who worked as an assistant to a well-known Beijing anthropologist in an effort to study a small village decimated by HIV/AIDS as a result of unregulated blood selling. Whole villages were wiped out with no responsibility taken or reparations paid. Dream of Ding Village focuses on one family, destroyed when one son rises to the top of the party pile as he exploits the situation, while another son is infected and dies. The result is a passionate and steely critique of the rate at which China is developing and what happens to those who get in the way. “Lianke confronts the black market blood trade and the subsequent AIDS epidemic it sparked, in a brilliant and harrowing novel.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
