Subienkow đã trải qua một đoạn đường dài đầy cay đắng và hãi hùng, mong trở về các thủ đô Âu Châu như một con bồ câu trở về tổ ấm, và tới đây, một nơi xa xôi hơn bao giờ hết, tại một địa hạt trên Mỹ Châu thuộc Nga, con đường đã tận cùng. Chàng ngồi trên tuyết, hai tay bị trói dật cánh khủyu sau lưng, chờ đợi đến lượt bị tra tấn. Gã tò mò chầm chậm nhìn người lính Cossack to lớn nằm sấp trên tuyết đằng trước mặt; miệng rên rỉ...

Before an engineer can repair a refrigerant leak in the system it has to be located and for this reason leak detection is the first step. If the system has not lost all its refrigerant charge, leak detection may proceed as described in Chapter 3 provided that there is an adequate test pressure within the system. When the entire refrigerant charge has been lost, the system has to be pres- surized. If the leak is found to be minor and on the low side of the system, ‘pumping down’ will be necessary before any attempt is made to repair the leak. Leakage from the high side of the...

When knowledge of the atrocities of the National Socialist regime spread, there was a feeling among contemporary observers that they were faced with a phenomenon that was poorly addressed by the existing rules of international law. In those days, Winston Churchill felt that the world was in the presence of a ‘crime without a name’. And in those days, Raphael Lemkin, a Polish lawyer who had lost 49 members of his family in the Holocaust, gave a name to the crime.

Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were pioneers--men who left their homes to open up the wilderness and make the way plain for others to follow them. For one hundred and seventy years, ever since the first American Lincoln came from England to Massachusetts in 1638, they had been moving slowly westward as new settlements were made in the forest.

The space-ship Viking—two hundred feet of gleaming metal and polished duralite—lay on the launching platform of New York City's municipal airport. Her many portholes gleamed with light. She was still taking on rocket fuel from a tender, but otherwise all the final stores were aboard. Her helicopters were turning over slowly, one at a time, as they were tested. In the Viking's upper control room Gerry Norton and Steve Brent made a final check of the instrument panels. Both men wore the blue and gold uniform of the Interplanetary Fleet.

Within the past decade, scholars have begun to reveal the important role African American midwives played in the reproductive experiences of southern women, both black and white. This book is a contribution to the documentation of that African American presence. It is also a requiem to the knowledge, skills, and beliefs that have been lost. If, thanks to the classic movie Gone with the Wind, popular imagery has the African American woman faced with the prospect of having to help deliver a baby being completely hysterical, then recent scholarship counters that portrayal.

Property-grabbing from widows and orphans began long before the HIV and AIDS pandemic. However, the scale of HIV infection rates, stigmatisation and the social and economic vulnerability of widows and orphans have worsened the situation. Targets of psychological and physical harassment, dispossessed of their property and evicted from their homes, women and children are left destitute.Too often, the personal stories of both hardship and resilience in the face of adversity are lost in the statistics and dry overviews of national policies and epidemiological trends.

In recent months, there has been a considerable effort by many political actors to promote fears over the size of public pension shortfalls. While many, if not most, public pensions do face shortfalls, much of the discussion has been misleading about both the origins of the shortfall and its severity. This paper tries to put these issues in a clearer perspective. The first part examines the origins of the shortfall by noting the extent to which pensions have lost value due to the recent economic crisis.

With its focus on cost and third party payment, the regulatory program has also managed to shift the public debate. The historical focus on caring for an individual patient has been subsumed in discussions of pricing, cost con- trol, and the merits of using a variety of delivery systems for expanding the third party payments system to an ever- increasing fraction of the population, legal or not. The collateral damage has been high. People have lost sight of the important role that involved consumers spending their own money play in controlling system costs and quality.

Several years ago, a major university in the Midwest faced a problem — its faculty, staff and student communities were frustrated with poor wireless communications in and around the campus complex. In an era where mobile communication must be clear and always on, the less-than-ideal coverage in campus buildings and around the campus grounds became unacceptable. The university itself featured several, historic concrete structures.
