Advance Praise for SPY SECRETS THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE “Jason Hanson is a powerful proponent and practitioner of personal defense tools and techniques, all designed to protect you and your family in your daily lives, at home, and even while traveling. The valuable information and insights in this book, the same material he delivers in classes all over the country, could save your life.” —Peter Earnest, director of the International Spy Museum and former CIA Clandestine Service Officer “When I first met Jason Hanson while he was pitching me his business on Shark Tank, I knew that his company was going to be a winner—and more importantly that I might learn some tips that could one day save my life!” —Daymond John, star of ABC’s Shark Tank “You probably have heard me say before that if I wasn’t a cook, I would have loved to be a spy! Jason Hanson lets us all be secret agents by giving us the 411 on how to get out of potential 911 situations. With his inner secrets of the CIA, he can show you tips and tricks that could save you and your family’s lives!” —Rachael Ray “The secrets Jason reveals in this book have literally saved my life. I used what Jason taught me to escape a potential kidnapping and an attack. I’ll be forever grateful for the techniques he shared with me.” —Heather O’Brien Walker, motivational speaker and life coach “‘Trade craft’ refers to a functional yet mythical set of skills every warrior, operator, or operative hopes to develop and master as they execute the duties of their trade; Jason Hanson has forgotten more trade craft than most will ever know.

  • Kaylee Frye, an Incomplete Role Model
    Casey Canfield Disciplinary Deliverable 12/16/09 Kaylee Frye, an Incomplete Role Model It’s easy to turn on the TV and find shows about how fun and exciting it is to be a doctor, lawyer, or FBI agent – but what about being an engineer? Where’s the glamour and excitement in that? You could try some of the reality shows on the Discovery and Science channels and watch Doing DaVinci, Building it Bigger, or Heavy Metal Task Force. Or maybe you watch American Chopper or Restorer Guy on TLC. The problem is that all of these shows are for and about men and describe men’s relationship with creating and caring for technology. As a female engineer, I find my invisibility in the media problematic. But that is why I got so excited about Joss Whedon’s Firefly, which depicted a woman named Kaylee Frye as the ship’s engineer. In the real world, some women have difficulty balancing their desires to be feminine and their desire to be taken seriously as an engineer. Since engineers are coded as masculine, feminine-presenting women are automatically taken less seriously as engineers. While this tension was reflected in Kaylee’s character, there were missing elements in her back story that made her feel less real. Where and how did she learn so much about engines? What was her childhood like? Was becoming an engineer her life’s ambition? Granted, she’s a relatively minor character and the series ended incomplete, but the issues that were left unresolved reflect the issues that women in engineering engage with every day.

  • The Changing Topography of Contemporary French Policier in Visual and Narrative Media
    Deathly Landscapes: The Changing Topography of Contemporary French Policier in Visual and Narrative Media DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paige M. Piper, M.A. Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret C. Flinn, Advisor Jennifer Willging Patrick Bray Copyrighted by Paige M. Piper 2016 Abstract This dissertation explores spatio-temporal shifts in twenty-first century French crime narratives, through a series of close readings of contemporary crime films, television, literature, and comics. The works examined rely on the formal properties of the policier genre but adapt its standard conventions, most notably with deviations in the use and function of space. In this dissertation, I demonstrate that the modern policier is one that embraces its spatio-temporal, social, and generic non-fixity. The textual/visual constructions of many hyper-contemporary crime narratives contain multiple modes of decomposition within: a decentralization of space, which moves the action away from the genre’s traditionally urban location to boundless rural spaces and border zones; a de- concentration of the policier genre, through the incorporation of tropes from other literary styles and works; and a devolution of social cohesion and community identity in the narratives. Chapter 1 examines works where historic references and urban legends of the 19th century fantastique literary genre unfold in modern rural locations. The past and the present converge to problematize modern ideals, identity, and community unity in rural spaces where reason is pitted against the supernatural.

This issue of Cosmic Masque comes at a time, when, let’s face Cosmic Masque XI it, there’s not a lot going on in the world of Edited by Rik Moran Doctor Who. Front Cover by Paul Burley Rear Cover by So, whilst we may be light on reviews and Marshall Tankersley features in this issue, it gives us the space to Fiction Editor Stephen Hatcher catch up on the fiction.

There’s a delightfully bitchy elderly gay couple with shades of Vicious, a family with a young teenage son, mysterious others, and Tania. Rebecca Root underplays a quiet, shy, awkward woman – and warms in to the part, as we warm to her, through the course of the stories.

  • Download Official Doctor Who 50Th Special 2014 Calendar
    Register Free To Download Files | File Name : Official Doctor Who 50Th Special 2014 Calendar (Calendars 2014) PDF OFFICIAL DOCTOR WHO 50TH SPECIAL 2014 CALENDAR (CALENDARS 2014) Calendario 1 septiembre 2013 Author : Does what it says on the tin As my subject line says, this is what it says it is; a Doctor Who 2014 calendar. It's a standard sized wall calendar, I'd guess around 30cm square when closed and has a full page picture on the upper page and the calendar part on the lower page, each month with its own page. All pretty standard and printed on good quality paper, so images on the reverse don't show through.Each month has its own Doctor, in number order, up to Matt Smith for November, while December has all the Doctors. The individual pages have a full page collage-style image of the Doctor and some of the key villains that Doctor faced, while the calendar section has the Doctor's head in profile, also collage-style with other images of villains and companions. It fills most of the page, but is pale blue, almost like a watermark, so doesn't get in the way of the date boxes and any notations you might make.A nice bit of memorabilia to celebrate the 50th Anniversary, with the benefit that you get to look at it all year. Doctorw Keep track of the date with the calendar reference grid near the bottom. Hang on a wall in your home, office or at school for a full year of planning and beyond Wirebound with built-in hanging loop for easy wall display Printed on textured paper.

  • Doctor Who Time and the Rani
    DOCTOR WHO TIME AND THE RANI PIP AND JANE BAKER Based on the BBC television serial by Pip and Jane Baker by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1 Regeneration 'Fifty-two . fifty-three . fifty-' 'Stop skipping, Mel!' 'Doctor, just because you don't object to being overweight is no reason why I should -' 'Don't argue! Stop!' Contritely, Mel obeyed: an unusual occurrence. This young companion had a mind of her own, and keeping fit was a dedicated ritual. But there was urgency in the Doctor's tone and a troubled frown on his chubby countenance. 'What is it?' 'I don't know.' He ruffled his mop of fair curls as he studied the console. 'The slide control for setting time and space co-ordinates seems to be stuck!' Mel, joining him, squinted above the slide control to the read-out displays for stabilising planes. 'This isn't operational either.' 'Take a look at the computer read-out screen.' 'Blank! I'll run a check on the circuit.' On Earth Mel had worked as a computer analyst before becoming the Doctor's companion. But expert or not, she could get no response from the computer read-out. His patchwork coat-tail flying, the Doctor dashed round the hexagonal console to the Hostile Action Displacement System which he had neglected to set. Too late! The TARDIS bucked, throwing him to the floor and sending the unanchored Mel slithering across the control room. 'What's happening, Doctor! What's happening?' Against a blackcloth of infinite ebony, the TARDIS was being bombarded.
