The International Criminal Court (ICC) has run into serious problems with its first big case -- the situation in northern Uganda. There is no doubt that appalling crimes have occurred here. Over a million people have been forced to live in overcrowded displacement camps under the control of the Ugandan army. Joseph Kony''s Lord''s Resistance Army has abducted thousands, many of them children and has systematically tortured, raped, maimed and killed. Nevertheless, the ICC has confronted outright hostility from a wide range of groups, including traditional leaders, representatives of the Christian Churches and non-governmental organizations. Even the Ugandan government, which invited the court to become involved, has been expressing serious reservations. Tim Allen assesses the controversy. While recognizing the difficulties involved, he shows that much of the antipathy towards the ICC''s intervention is misplaced. He also draws out important wider implications of what has happened. Criminal justice sets limits to compromise and undermines established procedures of negotiation with perpetrators of violence. Events in Uganda have far reaching implications for other war zones - and not only in Africa. Amnesties and peace talks may never be quite the same again.

"I had in mind a kind of anti prose poem that would look and smell like one but give a different taste and have a different texture. One way of doing this was by making the conclusion of each Set flat and deflationary, almost deliberately poor in the sense that they never approached closure, either artificially or in actuality."

"The latest sci-fi thriller from Tim Allen, author of the Spring 2016 sci-fi bestseller Apocalypse Orphan, has all the makings of a fast-paced story that will have readers biting their nails: hacking, conspiracy, government corruption, and six young gamers trapped in a matrix of virtual worlds, fighting for their lives against a seemingly unbeatable cyber-entity determined to enslave the human race." During the Cold War, Russia developed over 100 nuclear suitcase bombs, some capable of destroying a small city. In 2019, a Qatari terrorist acquired them on the black market. One summer day, he unleashed the fury of hell, raining destruction on the West. World War III engulfs the planet, and the superpowers develop super-intelligent androids to gain the upper hand. But the machines turn on their masters, slaughtering humans by the millions. The Robotic Wars rage on for years, but finally, the swarming androids are defeated. Determined that the world must never again fight a physical war and suffer mass destruction, a new alternative to bombs in the sky and boots on the ground is developed. Spy agencies begin recruiting and training an elite army of video warriors to battle in vast computer matrixes where life-like virtual worlds are maintained. Every nation develops its own cadre of highly trained video gamers, called, "Irus," who defend their homelands against conquest. Wars are fought in virtual reality for control of territories, natural resources, and wealth. But after decades of world peace and prosperity, something is going wrong with the global network of computer servers. Irus are suffering grisly deaths in real life, and ghostly apparitions are defying the laws of science, escaping from the virtual realm and manifesting in our physical world. Six young Irus are dispatched into the holo-cloud to investigate the glitch that is causing havoc with the war servers, and all hell breaks loose. Trapped in dangerous, computer-generated alien worlds, these video warriors must time travel through treacherous scenarios and fight off bloodthirsty aliens, zombies, enemy soldiers, and the vast legions of Rome to escape torture and death as prisoners of the game.

Wolf awakens 50,000 years later to a wildly different earth. Endowed with incredible strength, he finds himself caught in a war between primitive tribes, and his survival depends on Syn, an advanced computer intelligence who has fallen in love with him. Will Wolf be able to help restore Earth to its past glory or is civilization doomed to fail?

A properly-made lasagna is a dish of consummate beauty and one of the most beloved Italian food dishes in the world. Lasagna has many versions, both within Italy and around the world, but when we talk about "real" lasagna in Italy we mean "Lasagna alla Bolognese" i.e., from Bologna in the region of Emilia-Romagna. One of the traditional pasta shapes of this region is the long, flat strips that go into making the layers of lasagna. Although some Italians will buy these strips dried, it''s still quite common in Emilia-Romagna to make them at home, along with other regional specialties like tortellini. You may not know this, but technically, Lasagna did not originate in Italy as you may expect. Its origin can be traced waaaayyy back to Ancient Greece. The name Lasagna, or "Lasagne" is derived from the Greek word ''Laganon''; the first know form of pasta. Laganon was not a traditional lasagna as we know it with traditional Italian ingredients, but it was composed of layers of pasta and sauce. So it basically got its name from the method in which it was made, not for its ingredients. To recap, the name can be traced back to Ancient Greece, the first recipe to Britain and generations of perfecting the dish to Italy! Regardless of who can claim the lasagna fame, we are grateful to whoever is responsible for passing this recipe on through the centuries!
