Lisette Posthimus, talentvolle balletdanseres, is gewoond aan koerantopskrifte waarin haar talent besing word. Die euforie word wreed onderbreek wanneer sy die rol waarin sy 'n pas de deux saam met 'n wêreldberoemde balletdanser sou dans, met 'n onderduimse gekonkel verloor. Dan moet die dansteater sy deure sluit weens die negatiewe nadraai wat die Covid-pandemie op die kultuurwêreld het. Drie jaar se verblyf in Londen moet sy uit eindelik in 'n enkele tas pak. Op die nippertjie kry sy 'n tydelike pos as aupair in Spanje by 'n Suid-Afrikaanse familie. Hier loop sy haar vas in 'n uiters aantreklike man met 'n verlede wat by hom spook , sy niggie wat aan 'n persoonlikheidsteuring ly, en sy sjarmante neef. Lisette word gekonfronteer met haar eie onvermoëns en geneigdheid om eerder te vlug as om te veg. In 'n omgewing waar vurige flamenco-musiek en -danse in die sigeuners se bloed ingebore word, dans ook sy uiteindelik die tango: Die dans van die liefde.

You're an adult now. Right? Callie Andrews got into the most prestigious university in the world. Awesome! But now she has to actually go there.

The development of technology and the hunger for information has caused a wave of change in daily life in America. Nearly every American's environment now consists of cable television, video cassette players, answering machines, fax machines, and personal computers. Schement and Curtis argue that the information age has evolved gradually throughout the twentieth century. National focus on the production and distribution of information stems directly from the organizing principles and realities of the market system, not from a revolution sparked by the invention of the computer. Now available in paperback, "Tendencies and Tensions of the Information Age, "brings together findings from many disciplines, including classical studies, etymology, political sociology, and macroeconomics. This valuable resource will be enjoyed by sociologists, historians, and scholars of communication and information studies.
A biofilm is a collection of microbial cells that have adhered to biotic surfaces such as plant cuticles or animal epithelia, as well as abiotic surfaces such as rocky substratum or catheter exteriors. The life cycle of microorganism includes the fundamental process of biofilm formation for survival in diverse and harsh environments since it is a protected mode of growth allowing colonisation of new habitats by dispersal of microbes from the microbial clusters. The biofilm bound microorganisms remain embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix that protects the indwelling cells from surfactants, biocides, several invaders like protozoans, and defences offered by the hosts like phagocytic cells. The biofilm bound recalcitrant microbes induce chronic and nosocomial diseases, posing a serious threat to public health. It has been observed that various antimicrobial drugs are able to successfully remove the planktonic (freely suspended) states of microbes as compared to the sessile (substrate-bound) forms, thus resulting in the development of antimicrobial resistance. Modern pharmacological strategies targeting the biofilm matrix differ from the conventional methods of antibiotic usage. This includes the use of natural compounds such as plant bioactive molecules, antimicrobial peptides, green synthesised nanoparticles, or secondary metabolites from other organisms that not only prevent the rise of antimicrobial resistance but are also safe for the host tissues. The book titled "Biofilm Associated on Antimicrobial Resistance and Its Recovery" provides a detailed and systematic review of alternative pharmacological developments in the field of biofilm research. Features: A narrative overview of the mechanism of biofilm formation and its role in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Recent research in the development of antibiofilm remedies involving biogenic compounds. Advancements in the biofilm detection methodologies with the cutting-edge technologies. This book serves as a reference book for researchers who need to understand and analyze the progression of events during microbial biofilm formation, as well as design safer methodologies for its successful eradication. It may also be used as a textbook for a graduate level course in microbiology or microbial biotechnology.
The biggest challenges in public health today are often related to attitudes, diet and exercise. In many ways, this marks a return to the state of medicine in the eighteenth century, when ideals of healthy living were a much more central part of the European consciousness than they have become since the advent of modern clinical medicine. Enlightenment advice on healthy lifestyle was often still discussed in terms of the six non-naturals - airs and places, food and drink, exercise, excretion and retention, and sleep and emotions. This volume examines what it meant to live healthily in the Enlightenment in the context of those non-naturals, showing both the profound continuities from Antiquity and the impact of newer conceptions of the body.

In this in-depth, provocative criticism of the wellness industry, journalist Rina Raphael examines the history of an industry that modestly began with diets and calisthenics and has grown into the current mammoth entity of luxe self-care. Whether it's yoga, pilates, barre, spinning, juicing, floating or chanting, there is something for everyone in an industry promising women health and vitality in the most fashionable package. At times both fun and funny, from interviews with leading players in the industry to adventures in more bizarre practices such as desert dancing while drinking your own urine, The Gospel of Wellness reveals how its growth is a direct result of gender inequalities and structural sexism within medicine and society, forcing women to look elsewhere for health solutions. In theory a huge force for good, women are now flooded with offerings from more exploitative areas of the industry, peddling snake oil and questionable ideas for a pretty price. Balancing the bad with the good, the book considers what wellness offers now and what lies ahead. For anyone who values their exercise but has raised an eyebrow at the use of a certain jade egg, here is a lively exploration of an industry that has captivated millions of women around the world.
In 2015, both Portugal and Spain passed laws enabling descendants of Sephardi Jews to obtain citizenship, an historic offer of reconciliation for Jews who were forced to undergo conversions or expelled from Iberia nearly half a millennia ago. Drawing on the memory of the expulsion from Sepharad, the scholarly and personal essays in Reparative Citizenship for Sephardi Descendants analyze the impact of reconciliation laws on descendants andcontemporary forms of citizenship. |
