The whole world knows the face of the young man with the bright
black eyes. He is in the process of becoming an icon, a symbol,
similar to the famous photo of Che Guevara. The face is that of
Raif Badawi, who was nominated for the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize.
Arrested in Saudi Arabia, he was sentenced to ten years'
imprisonment and 1000 lashes - a de facto death sentence. The woman
who succeeded in getting such people as Barack Obama and Prince
Charles to appeal personally to the Saudi King for Badawi's release
is his wife, Ensaf Haidar, who began the campaign to free her
husband with a self-painted poster in front of a small church in
Sherbrooke, Canada. When Raif Badawi and Ensaf Haidar fell in love
with each other as adolescents, they did so in violation of every
moral precept in the strictly Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
During their clandestine love affair, the young couple had no idea
that, more than a decade later, Ensaf's love for Raif would attract
the attention of politicians from around the world as the blogger's
wife now mobilises global public opinion in an effort to save her
husband from murder at the hands of the Saudi judiciary. With a
courage born of desperation, she is fighting from exile in Canada
to secure the release of the father of her three children, and is
bringing great pressure to bear on the murderous regime in her
native country. Ensaf Haidar tells Raif's and her own story: the
story of their shared liberal ideas and her fight for her husband's
release.
Laura C. Hoffmann und Hans-R. Hartweg stellen auf Basis der
Regelwerke ausgesuchter europäischer Nationen Vergleiche an, wie
dort zum Schutz von Patientinnen und Patienten agiert wird. Nachdem
in Deutschland das Patientenrechtegesetz verabschiedet wurde, das
im Wesentlichen Patienten-Ansprüche in einer Rechtsgrundlage
zusammenführt, ist eine Diskussion entbrannt, ob dieses Gesetz
nicht eventuell zu kurz greift. Es kann dabei sinnvoll sein, den
Blick auch über internationale Regeln schweifen zu lassen und
einen Fokus auf Systeme zu legen, die auf historische oder
institutionelle Entwicklungsverläufe schauen, die dem deutschen
Gesundheitssystem ähneln. In einigen Nachbarstaaten sind
entsprechende Patientenansprüche bereits tief verwurzelt und die
Bürgerinnen und Bürger schauen auf eine lange Tradition
entsprechender Regelwerke zurück.
A look at important new tools and algorithms for future product
modeling systems, based on a seminar at the International
Conference and Research Center for Computer Science, Schloss
Dagstuhl, Germany, presented by internationally recognised experts
in CAD technology.
Systems to support the continuously shrinking product development
cycles and the increasing quality requirements need significant
enhancements and new approaches.
In this book important new tools and algorithms for future product
modeling systems are presented. It is based on a seminar at the
International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science,
Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, presented by internationally recognised
experts in CAD technology."
When Patience Ibrahim's husband died, she feared that her life was
over. She had prayed every night for a baby to complete her family,
and suddenly she found herself a nineteen-year-old widow, alone in
the world. But when she fell in love again, a happy future seemed
possible. Patience married once more , and was overjoyed to
discover that she was pregnant. A few days later, everything fell
apart. Men from Boko Haram arrived at her door, killing Patience's
new husband and kidnapping her. This is the incredible true story
of her and her baby daughter's survival, against all the odds.
Believed to be a publishing first when originally brought out,
this book covers all aspects of centrifugal gas cleaning devices.
These are cyclones used as gas-solid separators for dedusting and
as gas-liquid separators for demisting. The optimization of cyclone
performance for any given task is a sought-after goal - but it is
one that is seldom achieved in practice. This second edition will
help mechanical and chemical engineers to achieve this
optimization.

This definitive environmental history of medieval fish and
fisheries provides a comprehensive examination of European
engagement with aquatic systems between c. 500 and 1500 CE. Using
textual, zooarchaeological, and natural records, Richard C.
Hoffmann's unique study spans marine and freshwater fisheries
across western Christendom, discusses effects of human-nature
relations and presents a deeper understanding of evolving European
aquatic ecosystems. Changing climates, landscapes, and fishing
pressures affected local stocks enough to shift values of fish,
fishing rights, and dietary expectations. Readers learn what the
abbess Waldetrudis in seventh-century Hainault, King Ramiro II
(d.1157) of Aragon, and thirteenth-century physician Aldebrandin of
Siena shared with English antiquarian William Worcester (d. 1482),
and the young Martin Luther growing up in Germany soon thereafter.
Sturgeon and herring, carp, cod, and tuna played distinctive roles.
Hoffmann highlights how encounters between medieval Europeans and
fish had consequences for society and the environment - then and
now.
Der Westfalischen Berggewerkschaftskasse mochte ich an dieser
Stelle meinen Dank dafur aussprechen, dass sie wiederum ihre
bewahrten Zeichner zur Verfugung stellte, wodurch eine Bereicherung
des Buches um zahlreiche neue Textabbildungen ermog licht wurde.
Fur die Ausfuhrung der Zeichnungen danke ich den Herren Haibach und
Maschinensteiger Hingst herzliehst. Der Verfasser Dr. H. Hoffmann
hat die Vollendung der zweiten Auflage leider nicht mehr erleben
durfen. Als sein Mitarbeiter habe ich die: Fertigstellung allein

Our world as it once was In August 2014, Farida was, like any
ordinary teenager, enjoying the last days of summer before her
final year at school. However, her peaceful mountain village in
northern Iraq was an ISIS target as their genocide against the
Yazidi people began. The catastrophe ISIS murdered the men and boys
in the village, including Farida's father and brother, and took the
women hostage. Farida was one of them. She was held in a slave
camp, in the homes of ISIS members and finally in a desert training
camp. Continually she struggled, resisted and fought against her
captors, showing unimaginable strength and bravery. This is my
story Eventually, Farida managed to plot her escape and fled into
the desert with five young girls in her care, but defeating ISIS
was just the first step in her journey. In this book she tells her
remarkable and inspiring story.

Projects are traditionally seen as temporary organisations designed
for unique tasks, often in contrast to the mass-producing core
activities of organisations. Projects are used by the engineers as
tools for solving almost any type of problem. In this book, the
authors present current research in the study of practices,
challenges and developments within project management. Topics
discussed in this compilation include lessons learned in the role
of the co-ordinator in the development of it projects; the
stakeholder challenge, based on a project management of
collaborative research; project management applied to lithic
analysis; sustainable management team as a key element in success
of project management; and the impact of project schedule adherence
and rework on the duration forecast accuracy of earned value
metrics.
