Charleston, Champagner und ein Spritzer Chanel Gerade zehn Jahre alt ist der kleine Patrick, als er Ende der 20er Jahre in die Obhut seiner New Yorker Tante Mame kommt. Mame führt das schillernde Leben der Boheme - extravagant, wild und gar nicht kindgerecht. Aber nun stürzt sie sich mit Feuereifer auf die Erziehung des Waisenknaben - so, wie sie alles im Leben angeht: voller Enthusiasmus, oft leichtsinnig, aber immer mit den besten Absichten. Und auch nach vielen Jahren, nachdem Mame durch den Börsenkrach arm und durch eine glückliche Heirat wieder wohlhabend wurde, nachdem Patrick durch ihr unberechenbares Wirken immer wieder in die haarsträubendsten Situationen geriet, kann er sich keinen liebenswerteren Menschen vorstellen. Aber auch keinen verrückteren ... Nostalgisch und charmant - eine bezaubernde Reise in das New York der 30er Jahre.

What drives refugees displaced by war to hold attitudes supporting violence to achieve political ends? The conventional wisdom suggests that refugee communities are breeding grounds for the emergence of political violence, terrorism, and radicalism. Yet, the literature on refugees and political violence offers little empirical evidence of such a connection or systematic investigation of the root causes of attitudes toward political violence among refugees. My research addresses the following questions: 1) What are the sources of politically violent attitudes? 2) Can these sources be traced to specific aspects of the refugee communities themselves? 3) Can they be traced to certain experiential events or demographic factors? 4) Are attitudes towards political violence related to actors'' political goals? This analysis is based on nearly three years of fieldwork in Chechen refugee communities in The Republic of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Poland, and Belgium. Methodologically, this inductive study employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing qualitative and ethnographic methods, such as direct participant-observer, to conduct 310 structured-interviews with a range of Chechen refugees. For independent variables I asked a battery of questions related to demographic profiles, grievances, political goals and preferences, and preferences for regime type. The dependent variable, attitudes towards political violence, was gleaned from structured-interviews which called on subjects to offer general assessments of their position on the acceptability of political violence as well as express their views on the legitimacy of four concrete events related to the conflict in Chechnya: the 2002 attack on Moscow''s Dubrovka Theater; the 2004 attack on School #1 in Beslan, North Ossetia; the 2004 attack on military and police personnel in Nazran, Ingushetia; and the 2005 attack on military and police personnel in Nalchik, Kabardino-Balkaria.

The functional morphology of the heart/kidney complex, digestive system and mantle was investigated in Dentalium rectius (Mollusca, Scaphopoda). While encompassing in-depth examination of the diverse roles of each organ system, these studies also contribute towards an overview of metal processing by the organism. The heart/kidney complex departs substantially from typical molluscan form; morphological features demonstrate that the heart is reduced to a perianal sinus adjacent to the pericardium. Excretory function appears to be maintained, however, pericardial podocytes and a right renopericardial connection indicate that a blood ultrafiltrate passes to the kidney. Urine is modified by two nephrocyte types. While one may effect reabsorption, both secrete calcium, zinc and phosphate-containing granules into the urine. Intracellular granules of the digestive system also contain calcium phosphate; iron is the only other metal accumulated, principally by oesophageal and stomach epithelia. Iron uptake occurs via digestive cells and by both undifferentiated and specialized mantle epithelia. Iron-containing granules, released into the haemocoel by the mantle epithelium, are phagocytosed and transported by amoebocytes. Iron is not excreted by the kidney, but by oesophageal secretion into the gut lumen and by radular mineralization, differing significantly from iron processing reported in other molluscs. In addition to iron uptake, mantle functions include the creation of respiratory currents, gas exchange and sensory reception; the respective epithelial specializations described here constitute functional equivalents to ctenidia and osphradia, organs which are absent in this molluscan class. The ciliated bands of the mid-mantle region include supporting cells which possess high-domed, microvillous apices that facilitate diffusion between the mantle cavity and underlying haemocoel. The posterior region of the mantle is richly endowed with innervated cells, considered putative sensory receptors. Cilia number, length and ultrastructure define three receptor types. They are heterogeneously distributed among specific regions of the pavilion, and probably function in respiratory current testing. The maintenance of respiratory current passage to the scaphopod mantle cavity requires a secondary increase in posterior aperture size, which is otherwise progressively diminished by normal shell growth. Such an increase occurs in D. rectius, and is effected by periodic shell decollation through dissolution by the posterior mantle.

In response to the physical and psychological injuries suffered by robbery victims as well as the fiscal losses incurred by retail operations, numerous robbery countermeasures, often referred to as robbery interventions, have been employed by business operations. The utilization of certain robbery countermeasures has in some circumstances been recommended or mandated by legislation, even though previous research on the effectiveness of employed countermeasures has produced contradictory findings. This research reviewed robbery incidents in four metropolitan areas of Louisiana population centers, comparing countermeasures at robbed commercial locations with matched locations that were not victimized, to determine if the presence of countermeasures displaced robbery attempts to locations with fewer or no countermeasures. The countermeasures studied included some of those recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration''s Recommendations for Workplace Violence Prevention Programs in Late-Night Retail Establishments (1998) (Appendix A), as well as others that are commonly employed in retail locations.
