Since the age of seven, Belfast-born Niall Allsop has been an indefatigable traveller. That said, his definition of 'travel' isn't just about going from A to B. While, for example, the adults in his life were blissfully unaware of his several days truancy, he was learning how to fare as an independent traveller of sorts. Until he was discovered, of course, and shown the error of his ways. But his urge to explore new horizons persisted and, from the age of twelve, he was regularly travelling to and from Dublin by himself. Five years later and he was off to Germany where he spent almost three months working in a jam factory. He left Belfast in June as a teenager and returned in September as a young adult. Five years later, as a newly-qualified teacher, he left Belfast for good. Beyond the Craic is an irreverent travelogue, tongue-in-cheek, foot-in-mouth tales of Niall's travelling encounters across mainland Europe, the United States and, of course, Ireland in search of a bit of the craic. He has always seen himself as a traveller rather than a tourist and would argue that there is a distinct difference between the two: the traveller has experiences and encounters that are his, or hers, alone while the tourist generally only interacts with people, often other tourists, in an environment chosen and promoted by others. To travel is to have a mind of your own; to be a tourist is to do what you're told. Niall has never had the inclination to do as he was told. With his propensity for engaging with people while travelling, Niall frequently gets drawn into any local craic on offer; he's even been known to initiate it. Sometimes he gets himself into situations that he could easily end up regretting; but generally he survives his indiscretions, potential and actual. For Niall, travelling is also about experiencing people and places no matter what the original impulse or intention may have been; pleasure per se is not the only motive for taking to the road. On a few occasions he has found himself in what some would regard as tourist destinations for reasons other than leisure. Beyond the Craic i is a largely chronological compendium of tales and anecdotes, adventures and misadventures, observations and reflections, of an inveterate wayfarer, of someone who always assumes that the people he encounters, wherever it might be, are more likely to be open and generous if you share a bit of craic with them. But be warned ... Beyond the Craic i is a travelogue; it is not about places, nor is it a guide to the locations where Niall found himself, whether by accident or design. Of course these locations do have a part to play in each tale but generally it is the people and the occasion that are the stars; settings are the backdrop, little more than co-stars and extras.

Crack cocaine users have significant health problems, and place a significant burden on social services, the criminal justice system and drug treatment agencies. Among policymakers, professionals and the wider section of society, they are the most poorly understood drug-using group and have the worst retention rate in prison drug programmes and community drug agencies. This book is about their addictions and the realities of their lives. Based on ethnographic research (observation and interviewing) conducted in south London, it aims to highlight their day-to-day struggles as they attempt to survive in a violent and intimidating street drug scene while trying to make changes to their lives. The book unpacks the myths and stigma of their drug use, highlighting their fragile position in society in an effort to better understand them. With the help of several key characters, the book uses their words and experiences to take the reader on a journey through their crack addiction from a life in and out of crack houses, their experiences with law enforcement and welfare agencies to their life aspirations. The findings have important policy implications, and are relevant and accessible to academics and students in the field of criminology, sociology, psychology, and research methods. The research is equally relevant for central and local government policymakers, and frontline healthcare and drug agency staff.

Major Coote has recently moved his somewhat reluctant family from their comfortable London home to a run-down Irish demesne in pursuit of his grandiose farming dreams. His neighbors, the OConnors, are struggling with the problems of raising a large, strong-willed brood. Relations between the two families become strained when the OConnors acquire the Grey Knight, a Jack B. Yeats painting which Major Coote believes to have been stolen from his mansion. Then seventeen-year-old Hugh OConnor meets Hazel, the Majors beautiful fifteen-year-old daughter, and trouble mounts, with unforeseen tragic consequences. Set in Connacht in 1981, a time of rising tensions and sporadic violence brought about by the Northern Ireland hunger strikes, this novel delineates the fragility and wonder of first love.

This book contains the edited version of invited lectures presented at the IUTAM-Sym- sium Synthesis in Bio Solid Mechanics, held at Hotel Frederiksdal, Virum (Copenhagen), Denmark, May 24 to May 27, 1998. The symposium was attended by 48 scientist from 14 countries. Biomechanics has been a very active research area in the last 25 years and covers a very broad class of problems. The present symposium concentrated on the solid mechanics - main of biomechanics, where important problems of synthesis presently are an active and challenging part. Characteristics of biomechanical materials are not only the inhomogeneity and anisotropy, but also the capability to change in relation to actual use. These living materials call for new methods of analysis and also new methods for synthesis. By the synthesis in this context is meant design of implants or artificial control of material growth. Bone mechanics is closely related to recent work on analysis and design of microstructural anisotropic materials. Also, recent work in shape design can to some extent be useful in the more complicated problems of biomechanics. Here interface problems play an essential role. The symposium brought together scientists from mechanics, mathematics and medicine.

Growing up in a rural well known town in the Tidewater region of Virginia, there are some things that the area is known for. The famous ports that harbor some of the most notorious ocean liners known to the US Military, great southern recipes, local colleges and universities that graduate some of the best sports champions, and some of the finest flower blossoms ever to be seen in the heart of the south. I never really paid much attention to the former, but through an amazing journey of headaches and heart breaks became quite familiar with the latter. Something that I never realized was how very crucial it was to protect a rosebud, from the elements of bitter cold that crept back in after the season for blossoming had arrived. I remember grandmamma saying youd better cover my bushes, this cold snap will destroy my buds. And now I can see the importance of protecting the very delicate plant, from elements that would damage the vital process of growth and maturation into a full blossom. What is even more important to understand is the purpose of the Rose itself to Gods creation, and what is the priority of implementing every plan necessesary for its protection. Why it is not just the flower itself but its distinctly innocent purpose for beauty and joy in the scope of its existence. How God could create something so delicate and so brilliantly and uniquely detailed for an appearance, an aroma, an authenticity never seen nor known to mere man. I will make every effort to draw assimilation from the development of a natural rose to that of a spiritual impartation in the mindset of a young puberty age person forming morals values, concepts, identities, etc.. that, will ultimately determine how they interact and exchange in covenant or consequential relationships. Are you ready to take a close look at one of the most painful, yet truthfully necessary to talk about issues in our society. From the days of Biblical families to the most recent decades of new wave cultural families. We must stop trying to cover up the ugly details of sexual perversion and taboo issues of incest and sexual abuse that occurs every day to some young person, who is in the most crucial stage of physical and spiritual development. Sexual abuse stops the process of a life that will never truly be what all it could, had the interruption in the process never occurred. When a person is sexually abused there is an interruption that occurs with their own perception of themselves and the beginning of low-self esteem and other ugly manifestations, of a victimization not asked for or warranted occurs. Thus, it is an interruption of a Rose About to Bloom. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Psalms 139:14-15 NKJ I believe that just as the Rose when exposed to the extreme and brutal external environments, inclement temperatures and the like is damaged; also is the life of the young person affected tremendously when they are exposed to invading demonic impositions through intruders of sinful activities. Like the life of the Rose is in severe danger under these conditions, causing adverse effects on its growth and development, so it is with a young adolescent who when exposed to the cruel environment of sexual perversion, incest, pornography, is ultimately, gravely affected mentally, physically, emotionally and interpersonally. Visualize the rose pedals being peeled away bearing the naked appearance of the rose; when one is molested sexually, a slice of you is taken away until finally your raw soul is left with hurt, bitterness, and pain. Many are left with trust issues which cause continuous hemorr

'Just amazing and inspirational' Jeremy Vine Can you imagine being trapped inside your own body? Able to see and hear everything going on around you but unable to move or speak - the blink of an eye your only way of communicating. Fell-runner and fun-loving mother-of-three Kate Allatt's life was torn apart when what appeared to be a stress-related headache exploded into a massive brainstem stroke leading to locked-in syndrome. Totally paralysed, she became a prisoner inside her own body. Doctors warned her family she would never walk, talk or swallow or lead a normal life again. But they didn't know Kate. The words no and never were not in her vocabulary. With the help of her best friends and family she drew on every ounce of her runner's stamina and determination to make a recovery that amazed medical experts. Using a letter chart, Kate blinked the words "I will walk again". Soon she was moving her thumb and communicating with the world via Facebook. Eight months after her stroke, Kate said goodbye to nurses, walked out of hospital and returned home to learn how to run again. This is the story of her incredible journey.

Augusta, Georgia, like many other American cities, is sharply divided along racial and economic lines. In the 1990s, the Augusta Police Department found itself battling the crack cocaine epidemic that turned at-risk kids into dangerous drug dealers. As these young dealers sought to get rich, the realization was a life of despair and danger from the competition, customers, and cops. As the nation fought a very public war on drugs, law enforcement officers faced their own pressure to make arrests and seizures. Ricky grew up poor. Drugs were always around, and dealing was the only life he ever knew. As he worked to move up the ladder as a dealer, my career was advancing toward becoming a narcotics detective. In a life full of danger and loss, Ricky was forced to make one tough decision after another. Narcotics detectives see dealers like Ricky as both targets and tools, and they are willing to use what some may think are questionable tactics to persuade him and other reluctant informants to cooperate.
