The year 2015 marks the 180th anniversary of Colt’s first patent for a firearm with a revolving cylinder and the 160th anniversary of the enterprise originally named Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company. During that time, Colt and the succession of firms that continue to bear his name have produced iconic revolvers and rifles that have done nothing less than shape the course of history. Among these are the first Colt Paterson revolver in 1836, the Colt Single Action Army of 1873, popularly known as the Peacemaker and the “Gun that won the West,” the Model 1911 pistol, and the M16 assault rifle, emblematic of the American military experience in Vietnam. Today, Colt are best known for the M4 Carbine, stalwart of every branch of the U.S. military, the CQBP (Close Quarters Battle Pistol), and popular civilian models, such as the Colt Defense CM901 rifle and Colt Match Target series. Illustrated with more than 200 artworks and photographs and accompanied by exhaustive technical specifications, Colt: An American Classic is an expertly written account of the firearms produced by one of the world’s best-known and easily recognized gun manufacturers.

nlü Yunan filozofu Aristoteles'n yk olduu sanlan "Atinallarn Devleti" adl yazs, Msr'dan Londra'daki British Museum'a getirilmi olan bir papirus elyazmasnn ortaya kartlmasyla 1891 yl ubat aynda yeniden tannd. Elyazmasnn ilk okuyucusu ve ortaya karcs F. G. Kenyon'dur. Aristoteles'n eseri, n yüzü sa'nn doumundan sonraki 78-79 ylyla ilgili hesaplarla dolu drt papirusun arka yüzüne yazlmtr. Ancak hesaplar zamanla nemini kaybettikten sonra bu papirüsler Aristoteles'n eserini kopya etmek iin kullanlm olabileceklerinden, bu elyazmas yaklak olarak sa'nn doumundan sonraki birinci yüzyln sonlarna doru tarihlenebilir. Elyazmasnda kitabn ba yoktur. Papirus üzerinde ne kitabn ad, ne de kitabn yazarnn ad vardr. Fakat bunun Aristoteles'n Atina devleti üzerine yazm olduu yaz olduundan üphe etmemize bir neden yoktur. ünkü Aristoteles'ten sonraki birtakm eska adamlarnn yazlarndaki gndermelerle Aristoteles'n eserinden bugüne kalm olan paralar bu papiruste buluyoruz. Aristoteles sekiz kitaba ayrlan "Devlet Bilgisi" adl eserine temel olmak üzere daha nce 158 tane baka baka devlet biimini yazp toplamt. Bunlar arasnda "Atinallarn Devleti" herhalde en büyüü olacak: Atina'nn uzun zamandan beri Hellas'n ba devleti olmas, Aristoteles'n hayatnn yarsndan ounu Atina'da geirmi bulunmas bunu gerektirir. Kitapta anlatlan ve kitapta bulunmayan olaylara bakarak Aristoteles'n bu eserini sa'nn doumundan nceki 329 ylyla 325 yl arasnda yazm olduu sylenebilir. Demek oluyor ki kitap Aristoteles'n son yllarnn ürünüdür. "Atinallarn Devleti" biri tarihsel (blüm 1 - 41), teki sistematik (blüm 42 - 69) iki anakesimden kuruluyor. Birinci anakesimde u drt badilim vardr: 1-12. blümler monarkhiadan oligarkhiaya geii, Drakon'la Solon'un kark olan durumu düzeltmeye almalarn anlatyor; 13-19. blümlerde tyrannoluun gelimesi ve devrilmesi gsteriliyor; 20-28. blümlerde demokratiann nasl gelitiini, en yüksek basamaa nasl trmandn grüyoruz; 29-40. blümlerde oligarkhik deiikliklerle bunlara kar yaplan tepkilerden uzun uzun sz alyor ve sonunda 41. blümde de batan balanarak bütün deiiklikler ksaca yeniden anlyor. kinci anakesim drt badilimde srayla unlar anlatyor: Yurttalk hakk (bol. 42), Beyüzler ve halk meclislerinin düzenleri, yetkileri ve ileri (43-46). Memurlarn devleti ynetmeleri (47-62) ve mahkemeler (63-69). Aristoteles, eserini sa'nn doumundan nceki drdüncü yüzyldaki Yunanllar iin yazdndan o zaman herkese bilinen, fakat bugünkü okuyucularn okuduklarn iyice anlayabilmeleri iin eski Yunan tarihiyle uramalarn gerektiren birtakm eyleri anlatmtr.

Lucrarea reprezint? o sintez? a teoriilor ce explic? apari?ia na?ionalismului ?n epoca modern?. Acesta a suferit importante transform?ri odat? cu industrializarea, democratizarea societ??ilor europene ?i alfabetizarea maselor. Raportarea permanent? la ?cel?lalt“, o sl?biciune a tuturor formelor de na?ionalism, a generat marile tragedii ale secolului XX, responsabile de genocid, epurare etnic? ?i crime ?mpotriva umanit??ii, iar tensiunile dintre na?iuni nu au fost dec?t ?n parte temperate de proiectul Europei unite, deocamdat? incomplet, dar necesar pentru pacea continentului. Autorul reu?e?te, prin tema abordat?, s? aduc? publicul mai aproape de marile fr?m?nt?ri ale prezentului, cu o excelent? bibliografie a subiectului.

n vremurile traversate, cnd nevoia de repere morale pare c a fost deja abandonat, cnd oamenii oneti din aceast ar abia mai disting limita dintre moral i imoral, cnd decadena tinde s ne subjuge pe muli dintre noi, manipulatorii care-i sporesc prestigiul n funcie de numrul i statusul victimelor sunt luai drept modele de ctre copiii notri. nspimnttor mai este ns ceva. C nc nu i-au atins apogeul, c cel mai probabil o vor face n curnd, atunci cnd vor descoperi i vor nva s foloseasc ntregul arsenal existent unde manipularea reprezint doar o roti dintr-un angrenaj diabolic. Or, dac acum supun i controleazdestine fr remucri, fr regrete i fr apsri, ceea ce ar trebui s ne frmnte pe toi este ce vor mai pune la cale de acum nainte, fiindc, ntr-o normalitate deliberat confuz, cu certitudine tuturor ne va fi tot mai greu s gsim pe cineva cu care s purtm o discuie sincer. Cu att mai dificil s descoperim colegi sau prieteni pe care s ne putem baza, formatori de opinie oneti sau chiar parteneri de via care s nu mimeze sentimentele trite. Firete, manipulatori de tipologii diferite ntlnim peste tot. Pe strad, n centrele comerciale, n mijloacele de transport, acolo unde cei mai muli dintre ei sunt uor de sesizat. Tocmai de aceea, ajuns la momentul retrospectivei, nu mi-am propus s m refer la acetia, ci la cei din avangarda lor care construiesc n timp relaia personal cu victima, care exceleaz n arta prefctoriei i poart n 16 buzunarul din dos instrumente distrugtoare perfide. Cu ct sunt mai joviali i simpatici, cu att sunt mai penetrani, cu ct sunt mai afectuoi i iubitori, cu att sunt mai vtmtori. i atenie, dup cum spuneam, nc nu s-au desvrit. n curnd vom avea de-a face cu acest tip de manipulator, de departe cel mai perfid i periculos dintre toi, pe ct de eficient pe att de nociv, care ne va lua pe nepregtite. Doar n carcasa lui embrionar, sub mti atrgtoare i convingtoare, unii dintre noi l-au ntlnit deja printre amici, colegi, parteneri sentimentali, decideni i aa mai departe.Toate acestea, dar i ncercarea de a le anticipa mutrile, sunt motivele pentru care m-am hazardat la o abordare tranant, sub ndemnul desprinde-te de ei, rectig-te pe tine, plecnd, dac vrei, de la o comparaie ntre manipulatorii de azi i cei de mine, care tind s se nasc. Ce instrumente folosesc sau pot folosi, cum anume se insinueaz i seduc interlocutorul, cum i camufleaz interesul fa de persoana vizat, cum preiau sub control captura i cum am putea s-i contracarm sunt ntrebri la care am s ncerc s ofer rspunsurile ateptate dintr-o perspectiv personal, bazat pe acumulrile dintr-o via de om greu ncercat.

Instantly he is captivated by Selina Wade, the blue-eyed waif he encounters and, finding that she is being exploited cruelly by a ‘domestic agency’ proprietor who is little better than a ‘madam’, resolves to save her.

And so na?ve Selina finds herself posing as the gambler’s pretty sister, as Quintus Tiverton tries to marry her off to someone suitably rich amongst the international wealthy who frequent Baden-Baden in the Season .? Little does Quintus know that poor Selina’s heart is already taken. ?And she only has eyes for him!? Still less does he realise that he too is falling in love.?

Durban Dialogues, Indian Voice is an anthology of five engaging and eclectic South African plays by award-winning playwright Ashwin Singh. The plays selected, namely To House, Duped, Spice ’n Stuff, Reoca Light and Beyond the Big Bangs represent the complete array of Singh’s storytelling skills in drama as well as satire. Each play reflects, in different ways, on the complexities and contradictions of life in post-Apartheid South Africa, and focuses particularly on people of Indian origin and their relationship with other South African communities. The plays present a moving portrait of a unique array of characters and are also punctuated by Singh’s trademark humour. Each one is set in Durban, South Africa’s third largest and most diverse city, and they are described by renowned academic and critic Betty Govinden as ‘undressing Durban, as they take us away from the neon lights and “candy floss” to the reality of the underbelly of post-Apartheid urban and suburban existence’.
