RE IN CAR NATION % darby constable howard elman woke with the mocking words of the Voice still in his head. You are 87 years old and you still have not done that great thing to allow you to pass on into the next realm in peace. Peace! I never cared diddly-squat for peace. And, hey, maybe I’m not 87, only 85. It doesn’t matter. In your long life you have never accomplished a single great thing and you never will because you are too average. What about the Re In Car Nation of the property? That’s not a great thing—it’s just peculiar. “After his wife died Howard Elman succumbed to peculiarity” is what Dot McCurtin is saying about you, Howie. Howard sat up and reached with his feet for his slippers on the floor. Ever since Elenore died Howard no longer slept in their marital bed in just his shorts. He slept barefoot but otherwise fully clothed in his forest-green work outfit on the couch in the parlor under a “Darby Old Home Day” quilt Elenore had made. He never liked the idea of “going to bed.” It seemed to him more like “going to bedlam,” the bed- lam of regrets, or maybe the bedlam of egrets, those weird birds that Charlene, his eldest living daughter, talked about in her emails. Feet in slippers, he stood, put his hands on his hips and bent back- wards to loosen his spine. He used to tell Elenore that he envied her ability to sleep soundly ten hours a night, but actually he didn’t; actually, he liked being a light sleeper. Dreamland was an entertainment medium, better than tv. There’s more to it than that, Howie. You figure that the day you fall into a deep sleep that will be The End. And just what is that end? He tried to put himself in line with Elenore’s hybrid Catholic think- ing, that there was a heaven, a hell, a purgatory, and a limbo, which was some kind of waiting room for the souls of dead babies. Soul? What’s a soul? A flat fish. No, that’s spelled different. Constable Elman grabbed his cap from the end table and put it on his tender, bald head. The cap, like his matching trousers and shirt, was the same deep green as his grandson Birch Latour’s Dartmouth green. On the peak of the cap, in white, were the words Darby Police. He owned half a dozen such hats that he had specially made and that he’d paid for himself after he was elected town constable as a joke, the year Darby had voted to turn the town’s law enforcement over to the state police. The unpaid constable position was purely honorary, though in theory the constable had real powers. Or so said Birch, his favorite grandson, who this year had moved back to Darby with Missy Mendelson, his best friend from his rather bizarre childhood. Missy had a baby; her husband was another Darby playmate, Bez Woodward, a computer whiz and drone pilot fighting in a far-off war he was not allowed to discuss. Birch and Missy had started a computer business Howard didn’t know much about. Howard stoked the fire in the woodstove, started coffee, put on his black and red wool coat, and, as was his daily habit, stepped outside to admire his property. He would come back in when his slippered feet whined about the cold. It was a gray November dawn, no bird calls, no lament from wind dying in the tops of the trees. He cranked up his hearing aid to listen to the occasional car that drove Center Darby Road; maybe he’d have luck and hear honking geese flying south, too. He hoped for kindly late fall weather. He and some volunteers were moving Cooty Patterson and his cabin today. “Rain or shine” said the flyer on the bulletin board of Darby’s condemned town hall. Howard carefully negotiated the concrete blocks that served as steps to the front door and walked to the middle of the gravel driveway so he could please his eye with a view of his property. Quite a sight. I’m proud. 3 Pride is a sin. Yeah, maybe for a Catholic. For me it’s the branch sticking out of the cliff that I’m holding on to. After Elenore’s long, lingering, exhausting, sole-wrenching—or soul- wrenching—death you brooded for a year, and then you embarked on a project that sucked up your time, energy, and . and . I know, I know, sucked up my good sense. So what? So it’s more than peculiar. You rebuilt the property to resemble what it looked like decades ago, before the fire that destroyed your house. But you didn’t build it right. I didn’t have the money. No foundation, no floors, just plywood over a two-by-four frame, win- dows salvaged from a tear down, the place no more than a stage set. A shell, a mere shell. Like you, old man. Like you! Hardest part was matching the purple asphalt shingles for the sid- ing on the house that burned. The fire that you set, Howie, that you set! I had my reasons. The Voice left him and he was just thinking now, like any ordinary octogenarian. He had bought derelict cars from Donald Jordan’s junk- yard and placed them on the property so they would be visible up slope from the prospect of the Cutter house. Howard’s poet son Freddy (who had legally changed his name to F. Latour) had dubbed the property “Howard Elman’s Re In Car Nation.” Howard knew his son was being sarcastic, and he had retaliated by spitting words in his own sarcastic tone that he knew would rub snow in F.

On the contrary, in The Maldives there was a recent increase in the number of crimes that are punishable by death, and in countries such as Pakistan and Indonesia, who had de-facto moratoriums for several years, executions have resumed. Of particular concern, notably in Asia, is the continued imposition of the death penalty for drug crimes despite this being a clear violation of international human rights stan- dards.

  • Barbara Mandigo Kelly Peace Poetry Contest Winners
    The Gathering by Ana Reisens Adult Category, First Place In the movie we sleep fearlessly on open planes because we cannot imagine any danger more tragic than those that have already passed. For weeks we have been arriving over the earth’s broken skin, over mountains and rivers, shaking the aching flagpoles from our shoulders. Now all the priests and imams and rabbis and shamans are gathered beside the others, teachers, brothers and kings and they’re sharing recipes and cooking sweet stories over fires. Suddenly we hear a voice calling from the sky or within – or is it a radio? – and it sings of quilts and white lilies as if wool and petals were engines. It’s a lullaby, a prayer we all understand, familiar like the scent of a lover’s skin. And as we listen we remember our grandmothers’ hands, the knitted strength of staying, how silence rises like warmth from a woven blanket. And slowly the lines begin to disappear from our skin and our memories spin until we’ve forgotten the I of our own histories and everyone is holy, everyone is laughing, weeping, singing, It’s over, come over, come in. And this is it, the story, an allegory, our movie – the ending and a beginning. The producer doesn’t want to take the risk. No one will watch it, he says, but we say, Just wait. All the while a familiar song plays on the radio and somewhere in a desert far away a soldier in a tank stops as if he’s forgotten the way.

  • The Staircase Model” – Labor Control of Temporary Agency Workers in a Swedish Call Center
    “The Staircase Model” – Labor Control of Temporary Agency Workers in a Swedish Call Center ❚❚ Gunilla Olofsdotter Senior lecturer in Sociology, Department of Social Sciences, Mid Sweden University, Sweden ABSTRACT The article explores the labor control practices implemented in a call center with extensive con- tracting of temporary agency workers (TAWs). More specifically, the article focuses on how struc- tural and ideological power works in this setting and on the effects of this control for TAWs’ working conditions. Open-ended, semi-structured interviews were conducted with TAWs, regular employees, and a manager in a call center specializing in telecommunication services in Sweden. The results show that ideological power is important in adapting the interests of TAWs to correspond with those of temporary work agencies (TWAs) and their client companies, in this case the call center. The results also show how ideological power is mixed with structural control in terms of technologi- cal control systems and, most importantly, a systematic categorization of workers in a hierarchical structure according to their value to the call center. By systemically categorizing workers in the staircase model, a structural inequality is produced and reproduced in the call center. The motives for working in the call center are often involuntary and are caused by the shortage of work other than a career in support services. As a consequence, feelings of insecurity and an awareness of the precarious nature of their assignment motivate TAWs to enhance their performance and hopefully take a step up on the staircase. This implies new understandings of work where job insecurity has become a normal part of working life.

  • Wastewater Management
    20 Wastewater Management Peace Amoatey (Mrs) and Professor Richard Bani Department of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Sciences, University of Ghana, Ghana 1. Introduction Wastewater is water whose physical, chemical or biological properties have been changed as a result of the introduction of certain substances which render it unsafe for some purposes such as drinking. The day to day activities of man is mainly water dependent and therefore discharge ‘waste’ into water. Some of the substances include body wastes (faeces and urine), hair shampoo, hair, food scraps, fat, laundry powder, fabric conditioners, toilet paper, chemicals, detergent, household cleaners, dirt, micro-organisms (germs) which can make people ill and damage the environment. It is known that much of water supplied ends up as wastewater which makes its treatment very important. Wastewater treatment is the process and technology that is used to remove most of the contaminants that are found in wastewater to ensure a sound environment and good public health. Wastewater Management therefore means handling wastewater to protect the environment to ensure public health, economic, social and political soundness (Metcalf and Eddy, 1991). 1.1 History of wastewater treatment Wastewater treatment is a fairly new practice although drainage systems were built long before the nineteenth century. Before this time, “night soil” was placed in buckets along streets and workers emptied them into “honeywagon” tanks. This was sent to rural areas and disposed off over agricultural lands. In the nineteenth century, flush toilets led to an increase in the volume of waste for these agricultural lands. Due to this transporting challenge, cities began to use drainage and storm sewers to convey wastewater into waterbodies against the recommendation of Edwin Chadwick in 1842 that “rain to the river and sewage to the soil”.

  • This Generation a Shifter Will Arise, Hidden Amongst the Lost and Lies
    “This generation a Shifter will arise, Hidden amongst the lost and lies. A great many will see The life that could be. The universe will shake; The greatest among us will quake. The towers will fall. The ruled will rule all.” Douglas and Angelia Pershing Prologue Rian growled when a small group of Shifters entered The Council chamber following Navin and Lena. Lena sauntered in, her hips swaying dangerously from side to side. Other than Rian, all eyes in the room were on her. Her long auburn hair was undulating behind her in a tight ponytail. Her green eyes were bright and cold. Her smirk revealed straight white teeth, poised and ready for the kill. “My Lord,” Lena said in her throaty alto. She bowed then, carefully positioning her body in the most flattering way. The new Seer on The Council, a small mousy man with flat brown eyes and little ability to see anything, gulped audibly as he watched Lena. “I am not a feudal lord,” Rian snapped at Lena. “Of course not,” Lena said, rising slowly, allowing the eyes in the room to linger on her lithe body. “You are my god.” Rian’s eyes flicked to her, somehow his copper eyes were both irritated and pleased. He then returned them to the piece of Shifter trash that had entered the room with her. His copper eyes flashed red for a brief moment, appearing more vibrant and cruel than any eyes before. “Navin,” he growled. It was almost as though when Rian ordered the deaths of the Shifter Young nearly 1 thirteen years ago, he had become less than human.

We knew only that they were different, to be feared, and in that fear was included the hostility of the powerless against the powerful, the poor against the rich, the worker against the employer; and the poorly dressed against the well dressed. This is Stamps, a small town in Arkansas, in the United States, in the 1930s. The population is almost evenly divided between black and white and totally divided by where and how they live. As Maya Angelou says, there is very little contact between the two races. Their houses are in different parts of town and they go to different schools, colleges, stores, and places of entertainment. When they travel, they sit in separate parts of buses and trains. After the American Civil War (1861—65), slavery was ended in the defeated Southern states, and many changes were made by the national government to give black people more rights.
