A deadly game of cat-and-mouse has them fighting to stay one step ahead of the brilliant serial killer---or see their fateful romance cut short by unspeakable tragedy. Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell have landed in America, a bold, brash land unlike the genteel streets of London they knew. But like London, the city of Chicago hides its dark secrets well. When the two attend the spectacular World's Fair, they find the once-in-a-lifetime event tainted with reports of missing people and unsolved murders. Determined to help, Audrey Rose and Thomas begin their investigations, only to find themselves facing a serial killer unlike any they've heard of before. Identifying him is one thing, but capturing him---and getting dangerously lost in the infamous Murder Hotel he constructed as a terrifying torture device---is another. Will Audrey Rose and Thomas see their last mystery to the end---together and in love---or will their fortunes finally run out when their most depraved adversary makes one final, devastating kill?

Capturing Education examines the founding of the first tribally controlled American Indian colleges in the late 1960s and early 1970s and follows their subsequent growth and development, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. Based on oral histories recorded over a twenty-year period, it documents the motivations of the movement’s founders and the challenges they faced while establishing colleges on isolated and impoverished Indian reservations. Early leaders discuss the opposition they encountered from both Indians and non-Indians at a time when few people believed Indians could or should start their own colleges. The development of degree programs relevant to the practical needs of reservation communities, however, contributed to their eventual success despite such opposition. Continuing efforts to define and implement a culturally based philosophy of education are also discussed.

Описание: For the longest time - I got it wrong... I thought the ultimate achievement in wrestling was to win a State Championship... It is not. The ultimate achievement in wrestling is to prepare a young man for his life by having him become the best person he can be by acquiring the "Qualities of a Wrestler" while in pursuit of a state championship. Acquiring these qualities is more important than winning a state championship. They are what is needed to become happy and successful in life. These qualities are acquired during the pursuit, and not in the winning. It is in the pursuit that a kid transcends into a man. It is in the pursuit that a kid is prepared for what life will bombard him with when he becomes a man.It is in the pursuit that this sport is at its finest. Winning a state championship doesn't teach these things. The pursuit does. It is setting a goal that is more than you think you can ever achieve and then achieving more than you thought you ever could. It is in overcoming any and all obstacles that may be in your path in pursuit of that goal. It is in the agony of learning how to "figure it out" on your own. It is in making the necessary adjustments even after you "figured it out." The hard adjustments which will require supreme sacrifice that will only make a small difference. Which will happen to be the difference between winning or losing. It is in working endlessly and seeing no results and still continuing to work because your will is stronger than everyoneelse's doubt. It is in learning that one man with belief, is worth a thousand with only interest. It is in failing miserably and very publicly in front of your peers and everyone who is important to you. It is in learning to master the concept of "Again" - the ability to muster up a little more when the world would understand if you quit.It is in not achieving your desired goal after a very long hard season, one in which you bled to do so, and then making a personal decision to work even harder for another season with absolutely no guarantee of success.It is in the knowledge that you did everything that you could to achieve your goal and the understanding that sometimes it will be enough, and sometimes it won't. You can't control that. All you can control is to be as well prepared as you can. It is in the understanding that when it magically is enough, you are humble because you know the feeling of being on the other side of the win. And when it is not enough, you know to dig down and inspect and analyze your performance because there is something within the loss that you need to learn to help you achieve a greater goal in the future. And you find it. And you turn a weakness into a strength. And you keep doing that until you have no more weaknesses.This is the process of becoming a man. Some wrestlers who went on to win a state championship are now jerks. Many wrestlers who took 2nd, 3rd or never even placed have become great people. So it is not winning the state championship that is the difference. It is what you take away from this great sport that is the difference. It is in the pursuit. If one's idea of achievement is to win a state championship, then logically there can be only one winner per weight class throughout the state. There is not. Because the real winners in this sport are the wrestlers, who acquire the traits which will be necessary to their success and happiness in life. And those traits all can be found in the pursuit. ******************** "Wrestling Writing" - Over 40 Inspirational wrestling stories capturing the people and culture of the greatest sport on earth.

Описание: Why are filmmakers such as J.J. Abrams, Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino continuing to shoot their movies on celluloid in the digital age of cinema? Are these filmmakers choosing the photochemical process of celluloid images purely for aesthetics purposes? Or could their preference for celluloid have something to do with analogue's intimate connection to the subject of lack and desire?
Capturing Digital Media: Perfection and Imperfection in Contemporary Film and Television examines the relationship between the perfection of the digital form and the imperfection of the human subject in recent film and television. Using a number of a key psychoanalytic terms and new media concepts, Capturing Digital Media shows that the necessity of imperfection is where we locate the human subject of desire within the binary logic of the digital. It argues that the perfection of digital must be wounded by forms of imperfection in order to make media texts such as film and television desirable. But even as films and television texts incorporate forms of imperfection, digital perfection remains a powerful attraction in our engagement with moving images, such as high definition screens, spectacular digital effects, and state-of-the-art sound.
