Peter and Gerard make clothes for ten years. Each season's outfits
are inspired by the fantastic excesses of their muses: Artist
Gertrude Stein's dinners, Tonya Harding's attack on rival skater
Nancy Kerrigan, the request of Christina of Denmark to marry Henry
VIII only when she'll have a head to spare, the freckled eternal
teen face of Sissy Spacek (covered in pig blood in De Palma's
Carrie or murderously innocent in Malick's Badlands), the
delusional Shelley Duval, the Guardian-reader-type righteous
Candice-Marie from Mike Leigh's Nuts in May etc. They are strong,
they make mistake, they dress well. Also contains essays by Emily
King and Susannah Frankel.
In modern times, the Christian faith's claim to possess a unique
revelation of God has faced numerous challenges. A central issue
has been the role of the Bible. While some have continued to defend
the view that the Bible, inspired by God, is his self-revelation in
a direct way, others have argued that God's revelation is to be
found primarily in his actions, or in the person of Jesus Christ,
rather than in the Scriptures as such. In a fresh approach, Peter
Jensen argues that it is better to follow the biblical categories
of the knowledge of God and the gospel, rather than to start from
'revelation' as an abstract concept. First Dr Jensen focuses on
revelation, whether 'special' or 'general', from the viewpoint of
the knowledge of God through the gospel. Next, he examines the
nature and authority of Scriptures and our approach to reading it.
Finally, he turns to the revelatory work of the Holy Spirit through
illumination. The result is a creative and compelling exposition of
the evangelical understanding of revelation for the contemporary
scene.
In 2004 the Rockwool Foundation decided to launch a research
project that would focus upon the relationship of young immigrants
to the Danish educational sys-tem, including an investigation of
the attitudes of these young people towards education and of the
benefits that they obtained from attending primary and lower
secondary school (i.e. the obligatory stages of schooling) in
Denmark. It has been evident for a number of years that non-Western
immigrants do not make much use of the Danish educational system,
and that far too many of those who do go to Danish educational
institutions fail to complete their courses. If this educa-tional
pattern of non-achievement is not broken, then it will greatly
hinder the true integration of immigrants from non-Western
backgrounds into the Danish labour market, and consequently into
Danish society. In order to determine the learning outcomes for
young immigrants from their attendance at Danish primary and lower
secondary school, the Rockwool Foun-dation Research Unit contacted
the Danish PISA Consortium to arrange a spe-cial PISA survey. The
results of this survey were presented in a book published in 2007
by the University Press of Southern Denmark entitled PISA Etnisk
2005 (PISA Ethnic 2005), edited by Niels Egelund and myself. This
special PISA sur-vey made possible in-depth analyses of
school-pupils' performance, including the performance of pupils
from non-Western backgrounds.
Zachary Bujold is released from a juvenile detention center into
current day New Orleans at the age of twenty-one, after a seven
year confinement for murdering his parents. His defense was deemed
implausible-that Zach's twin brother, Louis, had killed their
parents-especially since no family member or friend was aware of
Louis's existence. Psychologists were certain that Zach suffered
from a multiple personality syndrome. Zach attempts to rebuild a
life in New Orleans, and quickly becomes sexually involved with a
woman. He also has an affair with his uncle's girlfriend. When
someone close to him is found strangled to death, Zach must find
his brother before he's arrested for murder one. A series of
discoveries regarding the Bujold crime family adds to Zach's fears,
and, in order to extricate himself from a murder rap, he'll have to
expose family secrets that could prove to be hazardous to his
health.

Measures of Active Labor Market Policy - such as training, wage
subsidies, public employment measures, and job search assistance -
are widely used in European countries to combat unemployment. This
study provides novel insight on this important policy issue by
discussing the role of the European Commission's Employment
Strategy, reviewing the experiences made in European states, and
giving the first ever quantitative assessment of the existing
cross-country evidence.
It takes only one look at today's news page or one listen to the
news shows to understand that, clearly, there is no shortage of
kingdom challenges for the twenty-first-century church at large,
for Christian organizations and agencies, or for us as individuals.
In the face of such enormous problems as the rise of pagan world
religions, AIDS, sexual abuse and trafficking, urban poverty, and
ethnic and religious conflict, what can you and your fellow
Christians do?
According to the diverse group of contributors in this book, you
can choose to get involved, sharing not only the kingdom burdens
but the kingdom opportunities with other brothers and sisters in
Christ so that no Christian, no church, no ministry, no nation has
to confront these challenges alone. But how can you join in doing
the work you are called to do? The superb analysis, biblical
solutions, and reality-tested ideas put forth in this book by some
of the leaders of the global Reformed and evangelical church will
show you.
Coming from the fields of religion, education, medicine,
broadcasting, psychology, urban ministry, and missions, these
fellow Christians are encountering the challenges daily. Their
suggestions will give you a grasp of not only what is necessary to
be a global evangelical Christian today but how to respond to the
physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of others around
the world-and perhaps in your own backyard.
