Maybe, in part, that people longed to be loved and to love. Many spend their entire lives in quest of one of the most powerful emotions known to man. Most people get a glimpse of it from time to time; others may be so fortunate to taste it on occasion, but very few couples honestly experience it. Those who do, their lives are a testament to loves power. Those who have the privilege to see it unfold and unveil often refer to the mystery and magic it brings. People tend to open their hearts to the couple. They step outside of the continuum of reality, only to take a step forward into the land where fairy tales are born. They become an active part in and of the story. They are swept out to unknown seaswaiting, watching, and wanting to see where the direction the story sails.

Download or read book Transnational Torture written by Jinee Lokaneeta and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-06-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Transnational Torture by Jinee Lokaneeta reviewed with Prachi Patankar" on the blog Kafila. Evidence of torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and harsh interrogation techniques at Guantánamo Bay beg the question: has the “war on terror” forced liberal democracies to rethink their policies and laws against torture? Transnational Torture focuses on the legal and political discourses on torture in India and the United States—two common-law based constitutional democracies—to theorize the relationship between law, violence, and state power in liberal democracies. Analyzing about one hundred landmark Supreme Court cases on torture in India and the United States, memos and popular imagery of torture, Jinee Lokaneeta compellingly demonstrates that even before recent debates on the use of torture in the war on terror, the laws of interrogation were much more ambivalent about the infliction of excess pain and suffering than most political and legal theorists have acknowledged. Rather than viewing the recent policies on interrogation as anomalous or exceptional, Lokaneeta effectively argues that efforts to accommodate excess violence—a constantly negotiated process—are long standing features of routine interrogations in both the United States and India, concluding that the infliction of excess violence is more central to democratic governance than is acknowledged in western jurisprudence.

Download or read book Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis written by David K. Androff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis: Human Rights, Integration, and Sustainable Development addresses the question of what to do about the global refugee crisis. One in every ninety-five people on the planet has been forcibly displaced from their home, the collective response is woefully inadequate. Through comparative case study, this book provides the first policy analysis of all three durable solutions in the context of the global refugee crisis. The durable solutions are designed to find a permanent place for refugees were developed more than 70 years ago. Last year, fewer than two percent of refugees found their way any of these solutions. Reforming yesterday's solutions requires understanding how they have been used, how they have failed, and how they can be improved. Comparative case studies of the Somali Voluntary Repatriation Program, the Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement, and the Arizona Refugee Empowerment Project provide a comprehensive, global, and timely policy analysis grounded in social work, human rights, and sustainable development. The policy analysis of all three durable solutions is comprehensive, these are rarely considered together. The policy analysis is global in scope as the case studies are from refugee policies and populations from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The policy analysis is timely in its focus on contemporary voluntary repatriation, local integration, and third country resettlement programs. This book offers implications for improving refugee solutions to promote human rights, integration, and sustainable development. This is vital to counter the rising tide of restrictionist, anti-refugee sentiment and policies"--
Download or read book You Are Not My Big Brother written by Renee Pittman and published by Mother's Love Publishing and Enterprises. This book was released on 2012-10-07 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewed as an excellent book for understanding the advanced technology applied to reportedly 300,000 or more victims of human experimentation within the USA and millions globally, "Targeted" for every reason under the Sun.In Book Two of the "Mind Control Technology" book series, the author details personal experiences surrounding abuse and victimization by military and law enforcement, et. al., using real-time surveillance, drones, and highly advanced, patented, influence technology on her covertly hoping to substantiate allegations. When the manipulative effort failed, resulting in this explosive tell-all book, the physical and psychological effort escalated as attempts to prevent publication and the author's living Hell around the clock by non-ionizing radiation beamed both inside and outside her home and 24/7 tracking around the clock.It appears that those involved in covert technology testing and spearheading "The Program" was attempting to make good on the promise, by repeated threats, that if she did not stop publication she would suffer the consequences. And, the consequences could be deployed by approval from one of the approximately 120 state-of-the-art fusion centers across our country today, connected to military bases nationwide, unseen or detectable to the human eye, or as close as official set-ups at neighboring locations. Little known today, various advanced, highly perfected technologies are being used globally such as patented Synthetic Telepathy also known as the "Hearing Voices" effect, mind-reading, consciousness-altering, dream manipulation, etc., along with the capability of subliminal message carrying through communication towers, portable systems, and devices, and satellites and drones. The technological arsenal of today consists of technology that can manipulate thoughts, create visual holograms, or even stimulate a person sexually, electromagnetically, a new form of covert, legalized, terrorism, miles away through a supercomputer terminal. It appears that Big Brother's 1984 technocratic agenda has come of age by handheld, portable, land, sea, and space-based technologies and the weapon system first publicized during the Reagan era of the '80s as the Strategic Defense Initiative then fondly called "Star Wars" as an exampled platform using a wide array of advanced weapon concepts, including lasers, particle beams. Pittman's truthful revelations and honesty placed her in a unique position, which so many fear because of ongoing unawareness of covert set-ups prior to the targeting. By revealing tactics that start human experimentation, then pointing the finger you can become expendable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume demonstrates how an educational linguistics approach to inquiry is well positioned to identify, examine, and theorize the language and literacy dimensions of refugee-background learners’ experiences. Contributions (from junior and senior scholars) explore and interrogate the policies, practices and ideologies of language and literacy in formal and informal educational settings as well as their implications for teaching and learning. Chapters in this collection will inform advances in the research base, future innovations in pedagogy, the professional development of teachers, and the educational opportunities that are made available to refugee-background children, youth and adults. The work showcased here will be of particular interest to teachers and teacher educators committed to inclusion, equity, and diversity; those developing curriculum and/or assessment; and researchers interested in the relationship between language practice, language policy and refugee education.

Book excerpt: This work contains the novella Spear and the novelette The Iguana Chronicles. Spear is a prose elegy using elegy scansions, deeply influenced by Joyce's work with Dublin's dialect. My dialect is that of the California desert. It will appeal most to people who were involved in the 1980s/90s fanzine culture. There is a riddle element too. Each paragraph contains a pop cultural riddle solution. These riddles are in the Anglo-Saxon tradition. The Iguana Chronicles is a different beast all together. A jangling sprawling shaggy dog story featuring my folkloric depiction of Iggy Pop and the Stooges.

Download or read book Military Neuroscience and the Coming Age of Neurowarfare written by Armin Krishnan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krishnan describes military applications of neuroscience research and emerging neurotechnology with relevance to the conduct of armed conflict and law enforcement. This work builds upon literature by scholars such as Moreno and Giordano and fills an existing gap, not only in terms of reviewing available and future neurotechnologies and relevant applications, but by discussing how the military pursuit of these technologies fits into the overall strategic context. The first to sketch future neurowarfare by looking at its potentials as well as its inherent limitations, this book’s main theme is how military neuroscience will enhance and possibly transform both classical psychological operations and cyber warfare. Its core argument is that nonlethal strategies and tactics could become central to warfare in the first half of the twenty-first century. This creates both humanitarian opportunities in making war less bloody and burdensome as well as some unprecedented threats and dangers in terms of preserving freedom of thought and will in a coming age where minds can be manipulated with great precision.

Download or read book The Royal Semi Authoritarian Democracy of Bhutan written by Dhurba Rizal and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book puts into plain words a changing dimension of politics in a traditional regime and offers an insight into the emerging transition to royal, semi-authoritarian democracy in Bhutan. Bhutan represents a political system which coalesces the rhetorical acquiescence of democracy with illiberal authoritarian attributes under the former royalist shadow. Royal democracy is a myth and only paints the frontage of democracy. The smokescreen of this kind of authoritarian regime is not yet democracy but is instead a new form of semi-authoritarian rule. The political reforms in Bhutan were orchestrated by the “traditional regime and elites in a traditional society” as a tightly controlled, top-down process without devolution of power outside the regime. Royal Democracy can best be understood as an attempt to construct a political regime that impersonates democratic institutions but works outside the logic of political representation and seeks to repress any vestige of genuine political pluralism. Exploring the authoritarian logic behind the democratic rhetoric is especially important for Bhutan, which is today glorified by the UN as “The Mecca of Gross National Happiness” and depicted by many as a model of top down democracy on popular media and in academia. Holding State controlled elections alone does not create a cure for deeper political, economic, and social predicaments besetting Bhutan and does not create a solid foundation for democratic transition. The glitter of royal, semi-authoritarian democracy is a “Jigmecracy,” an old Jigme’s system with new labels, a classic case of transition from a traditional regime in a traditional society.
