Third instalment in the 'Rocky' saga. Now world champ and having
enjoyed ten wins in three years, Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) has
become over-confident and complacent. He pays the price when he is
humiliated in the ring by Clubber Price (Mr T), and this disaster
is compounded when Rocky's trusted trainer Mickey (Burgess
Meredith) dies. Determined to reclaim his reputation, Rocky
unexpectedly turns to his old adversary Apollo Creed (Carl
Weathers) for help.
On October 25, 1836, the sidewheel steamer Royal Tar caught fire in
Maine's Penobscot Bay. On board was a small circus menagerie
returning to Boston from a summer-long tour of the Canadian
Maritimes. Plagued by gale-force winds and rough seas, the usual
overnight trip from Saint John, New Brunswick, stretched out to
four days and, on the fourth day, disaster struck off the island of
Vinalhaven. Thirty-two people and all of the circus animals
perished in the tragedy. Mark Warner explores the events leading up
to that fateful day. Beginning with the construction of the Royal
Tar, he traces the vessel's service history, the menagerie's tour
of the Maritimes, the cause of the fire, and details of the rescue
operation.
Prince Edward County, Virginia closed its public school system in
1959 in "massive resistance" to the U.S. Supreme Court's historic
Brown v. Board decision of 1954. The editorial pages of the local
family-owned newspaper, The Farmville Herald, led the fight to lock
classrooms rather than integrate them. The school system remained
closed until the fall of 1964, when the County was forced by
federal courts to comply with the school integration ordered by
Brown. The vast majority of white children had continued their
education in a private, whites-only academy. But more than 2,000
black students were left without a formal education by the
five-year closure. Their lives were forever changed. A Civil Rights
Reparations Story: The Road to Healing in Prince Edward County,
Virginia, by Ken Woodley, is his first-person account of the steps
taken in recent years to redress the wound. The book's centerpiece
is the 18-month fight to create what legendary civil rights
activist Julian Bond told the author would become the first Civil
Rights-era reparation in United States history; it was led by
Woodley, then editor of The Farmville Herald, still owned by the
original family. If the 2003-04 struggle to win passage of a
state-funded scholarship program for the casualties of massive
resistance had been a roller coaster, it wouldn't have passed the
safety inspection for reasons of too many unsafe political twists
and turns. But it did. The narrative unfolds in Virginia, but it is
a deeply American story. Prince Edward County's ongoing journey of
racial reconciliation blazes a hopeful and redemptive trail through
difficult human terrain, but the signs are clear enough for a
divided nation to follow. The history is as important for its
insights about the past as it it about what it has to share about a
way into our future.
Written by a practicing architect and gerontologist, The Complete
Guide to Alzheimer's-Proofing Your Home shows you how to create a
home environment that will help you cope with the many difficulties
associated with Alzheimer's. This unique book is divided into two
sections to provide the most thorough coverage available. Section
One deals with interior and exterior spaces individually, providing
key information on how to ensure that the Alzheimer's patient will
be safe and secure. Section Two gives a detailed list of potential
problems related to Alzheimer's and practical information on how to
cope with those problems in the home setting.
A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title The mythic American West,
with its perilous frontiers, big skies, and vast resources, is
frequently perceived as unchanging and timeless. The work of many
western-based historical archaeologists over the past decade,
however, has revealed narratives that often sharply challenge that
timelessness. Historical Archaeology Through a Western Lens reveals
an archaeological past that is distinct to the region-but not in
ways that popular imagination might suggest. Instead, this volume
highlights a western past characterized by rapid and ever-changing
interactions between diverse groups of people across a wide range
of environmental and economic situations. The dynamic and
unpredictable lives of western communities have prompted a constant
challenging and reimagining of both individual identities and
collective understandings of their position within a broader
national experience. Indeed, the archaeological West is one clearly
characterized by mobility rather than stasis. The archaeologies
presented in this volume explore the impact of that pervasive human
mobility on the West-a world of transience, impermanence, seasonal
migration, and accelerated trade and technology at scales ranging
from the local to the global. By documenting the challenges of both
local community-building and global networking, they provide an
archaeology of the West that is ultimately from the West.
Liquid crystals are fluids with a directionality defined. Polymers
are long molecules with a shape that can be changed. As a network,
polymers form rubber - a soft solid that is locally liquid-like and
capable of huge extension. Liquid crystal elastomers are a
combination of all these curious aspects, but with additional,
revolutionary new phenomena - for example, spontaneous shape
changes of several hundred percent induced by temperature change,
with equally large opto-mechanical responses, shape change without
energy cost ("soft elasticity"), colour change with strain, lasing
and photonics, sensitivity to molecular handedness and soft solid
ferroelectricity. This book is a primer for liquid crystals,
polymers, rubber, and elasticity. It then describes the theory and
experiment of these remarkable materials for the first time as a
monograph. Worked examples are solved so that the reader can become
proficient in the field himself. The book is directed at
physicists, chemists, material scientists, engineers and applied
mathematicians at the graduate student level and beyond
