The Dakota language owes much of its expansiveness to its verbs, or
action words. Yet until now, students of Dakota have had few
resources in verb usage and conjugation beyond nineteenth-century
dictionaries compiled by missionaries. 550 Dakota Verbs provides
students of Dakota--and the Lakota and Nakota dialects--the proper
conjugations for 550 verbs from adi (to step or walk on) to zo (to
whistle). Compiled by Dakota language teachers and students, the
book is learner friendly and easy to use. It features clear
explanations of Dakota pronoun and conjugation patterns, notes on
traditional and modern usages, and handy Dakota-English and
English-Dakota verb lists. Designed to enhance everyday
conversation as well as contribute to the revitalization of this
endangered language, 550 Dakota Verbs is an indispensable resource
for all who are interested in Dakota and its dialects, and a
compliment to A Dakota-English Dictionary.

It's Friday the 13th again, and for sixth grade genius Nate
Bannister, that means doing three more not-so-smart things to keep
life interesting. But he has bigger problems than his own
experiments. His nemesis, the Red Death Tea Society, is threatening
to unleash a swarm of angry bees on the city of Polt if Nate
doesn't join their ranks. But then a new group of people with murky
intentions shows up -- the League of Ostracized Fellows -- and they
want Nate as their own, too. To top it off, he's convinced there's
a spy in his very own school. Nate must once again team up with his
new, resourceful, friend Delphine to save the day. They'll need the
help of Nate's crazy gadgets, such as his talking car Betsy and
super-powered pets Bosper the Scottish terrier and Sir William the
gull, if they hope to see another Friday the 13th. Because they
might be battling more than just sting-happy bees and villains with
a penchant for tea this time around. Awards for Bandette Winner,

Much has been written about franchising in economics over the last
two decades: researchers have gained important insights, especially
into how and why it works and into the reasons behind the various
forms of vertical restraints usually embedded in these contracts.
This authoritative volume presents the key papers that have
introduced the theoretical frameworks and the empirical facts that
have spurred the interest of scholars in franchising as an
organizational form. By combining all these contributions in a
single volume, this collection not only highlights the main
questions that have been addressed in the literature on
franchising, but also illustrates the important role that incentive
issues have played in it. As a result, this compilation should be
of special interest to economists and management scholars with an
interest in franchising but also to those interested in general
issues concerning the organization of the firm. It includes 26
articles, dating from 1967 to 2005.

The artists AROTIN & SERGHEI question the predominate language
of our time: the constant visual observation of the infinite
metamorphosis of “light cells”, the smallest components of
digital imagery. Their most recent work, Infinite Screen, grapples
with themes of endless space, the illusionary surface of images,
and the genesis of light. This publication is a survey of the
development of Infinite Screen over several cycles of intermedia
drawings, pictures, installations, sculptures and compositions
within constantly evolving parameters of scientific, mythological,
philosophical, and architectural frameworks. The project 'Infinite
Screen' was realized in several large-scale variations at Ars
Electronica, the Venice Biennial, the Kunsthistorisches Museum
Vienna and the Beyeler Foundation.
Ever since his first feature film I Killed My Mother premiered at
Cannes, every film from the 29-year-old director Xavier Dolan has
generated significant critical interest. A recipient of numerous
awards, Dolan has recently taken his career to an international
level with The Death and Life of John F. Donovan. As the first
book-length study about Dolan, with case studies of key films like
Mommy (2014), Tom at the Farm (2013) and It's Only the End of the
World (2016), this volume explores the global reach of small
national and subnational cinemas. In particular, it uses Dolan's
cinema as a departure point to reconsider the position of Quebec
film and cultural imaginary within a global cinematic culture, as
well as the intersections between national, millennial and queer
filmmaking.
This 2005 book describes in much detail both how and why
franchising works. It also analyses the economic tensions that
contribute to conflict in the franchisor-franchisee relationship.
The treatment includes a great deal of empirical evidence on
franchising, its importance in various segments of the economy, the
terms of franchise contracts and what we know about how all these
have evolved over time, especially in the US market. A good many
myths are dispelled in the process. The economic analysis of the
franchisor-franchisee relationship begins with the observation that
for franchisors, franchising is a contractual alternative to
vertical integration. Subsequently, the tensions that arise between
a franchisor and its franchisees, who in fact are owners of
independent businesses, are examined in turn. In particular the
authors discuss issues related to product quality control, tying
arrangements, pricing, location and territories, advertising, and
termination and renewals.
