Brian Michael Bendis. Brian Michael Bendis (born August 18, 1967) [1] is an American comic book writer and former artist. He has won critical acclaim, including five Eisner Awards for both his creator-owned work and his work on various Marvel Comics books. [2] Starting out with crime and noir comics, Bendis eventually moved to mainstream superhero work. With Bill Jemas and Mark Millar, Bendis was the primary architect of the Ultimate Marvel Universe, launching Ultimate Spider-Man in 2000, on which he continues as writer to the present day. He relaunched the Avengers franchise with New Avengers in 2004, and has also written the Marvel "event" storylines "Secret War" (2004), "House of M" (2005), "Secret Invasion" (2008), "Siege" (2010) and "Age of Ultron" (2013). Though Bendis has cited comic book writers such as Frank Miller and Alan Moore, his own writing influences are less rooted in comics, drawing on the work of David Mamet, Richard Price, and Aaron Sorkin, whose dialogue Bendis feels are "the best in any medium." [3] In addition to writing comics, he has worked in television, video games and film, and began teaching writing at University of Oregon in Fall 2013.

Ook bevat de site pdf-versies van artikelen uit het ge- drukte blad en een digitaal archief van eerder uitgegeven nummers. Leden van de Koninklijke Vereniging ter Beoefening van de Krijgswetenschap blij- ven iedere maand een gedrukte versie van de Militaire Spectator ontvangen. Medewerkers van Defensie die de Militaire Spectator tot nu toe vanwege hun rang of schaal ontvingen krijgen geen gedrukt exemplaar meer. Zij kunnen zich op de site aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief en zo op de hoogte blijven van het uitkomen van nieuwe nummers. De hoofdredacteur De Militaire Spectator is sinds 1832 het militair- wetenschappelijk tijdschrift voor en over de Nederlandse krijgsmacht. Het maakt relevante kennis, wetenschappelijke inzichten, ontwikkelingen en praktijkervaringen toe- gankelijk en slaat zo een brug tussen theorie en praktijk. De Militaire Spectator stimuleert de gedachte- vorming over onderwerpen die de krijgsmacht raken en draagt zodoende bij aan de ontwikkeling van de krijgswetenschap in de breedste zin van het woord. Op deze wijze geeft het tijdschrift inhoud aan zijn missie: het bijdragen aan de professio- nalisering van het defensie personeel en het ver- hogen van het kennisniveau van overige geïnteresseerden. Daarmee bevordert de Militaire Spectator ook de dialoog tussen krijgsmacht, wetenschap en samenleving.

Burke Chair in Strategy With the Assistance of Adam Mausner Revised, May 10, 2007 Cordesman: Iraqi Force Development 5/10/07 Page ii Executive Summary Iraq has moved far beyond a Sunni Islamist or Ba’ath-driven insurgency. It is already in a state of limited civil war, and may well be escalating to the level of a major civil conflict. What began as a small resistance movement centered on loyalists to the Ba’ath and Saddam Hussein has expanded to include neo-Salafi Sunni terrorism, a broadly based Sunni insurgency, and now a series of broader sectarian and ethnic conflicts. The current combination of Sunni Neo-Salafi extremist insurgency, Sunni Arab versus Shi’ite Arab sectarian conflict, Shi’ite versus Shi’ite power struggles, and Arab versus Kurdish ethnic conflict could easily cause the collapse of the current political structure. In the best case, it could lead to a Shi’ite or Shi’ite-Kurdish dominated government, with strong local centers of power, and an ongoing fight with Iraq’s Sunnis. In the worst case, it could escalate to the break up of the country, far more serious ethnic and sectarian conflict, or violent paralysis.

  • Baghdad”: Space, Representation, and the Colonial Present

    Baghdad”: Space, Representation, and the Colonial Present

    Wandering the Streets of “Baghdad”: Space, Representation, and the Colonial Present by Wesley Attewell B.A. (hon.), The University of British Columbia, 2007 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2009 © Wesley Attewell, 2009 ii Abstract In this thesis, I will explore the triangular relationship between space, representational practices, and the colonial present. I will grapple with a few key research questions: how do we, as Westerners, represent the “other”? How, in turn, do we represent “ourselves”? How have these representational practices shaped the conduct of the War on Terror? And finally, how are (neo)colonial struggles over the politics of representation intricately bound up with questions of geography? By focusing my attention upon the recent invasion, and subsequent occupation of Iraq, I hope to offer a historico-geographically responsible, as well as anti-essentialist, reading of three distinct “digital spaces”: two blogs (Riverbend’s Baghdad Burning and Colby Buzzell’s My War: Killing Time in Iraq ) and Multi-National Force Iraq’s YouTube channel. Here, I will argue that, to paraphrase Edward Said, broader geographical struggles, over forms, over images, and over imaginings are not only being dispersed around the globe, they are also being fractured and subsequently contested on a more micro-scale in these new digital battlegrounds. As I hope to demonstrate over the course of this thesis, social media websites such as blogs and YouTube must conceptualized not only as political, but also as antipolitical spaces, in that they both encourage and stifle critical debate on issues pertaining to late modern warfare.

Al-Obeidi has served in the role since October 2014. The vote follows several weeks of delayed votes and a secondary investigation into Speaker of Parliament Salim al-Jabouri, who was oddly accused of corruption by the ousted Defense Minister during questioning. Al-Jabouri was cleared of any wrongdoing. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has previously said that he will assume the Defense Minister’s duties until a replacement can be confirmed. The Defense Minister’s ouster comes at an especially inconvenient time as Iraqi Security Forces and their allies prepare operations to clear Mosul of ISIS militants. The UNHCR and humanitarian agencies are pressing ahead with preparations for a massive wave of displaced persons during and after military operations to clear Mosul of ISIS militants. Preparations for the estimated 1.3 million IDPs include camp enlargement and construction, negotiations for land allocation to build new camps, and the strategic placement of emergency relief supplies and shelter kits around Mosul proper. According to UNHCR Representative in Iraq, Bruno Geddo, despite “the best-laid plans, there will be insufficient camps for all families needing shelter.” As previously reported in ISHM, military advancements south of Mosul, particularly in Qayyarah and Sharqat, continue to outpace relief efforts to those displaced.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Escape to Masada Joining Operation Eagle by Jerry B. Jenkins Hannah Palemoon. Hannah Palemoon is a fictional character in the Left Behind series of novels created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. She is a Native American nurse working for the Global Community in New Babylon. Hannah heard about Jesus Christ while she was living on the Cherokee reservation from a Christian couple that moved onto the reservation, a Lakota Sioux and a man from New Jersey, who wanted to get to know the people and to share the love of Christ with them. Later on in college, Hannah dealt with annoying "tract tossers" that turned her off to wanting to know Christ. Feeling that she wanted a real flesh-and-blood hero in her life and not an "ethereal God", Hannah jumped at the chance of moving to New Babylon when she heard about Nicolae Carpathia and that he needed medical staff there. While she was in New Babylon, Hannah came across Tsion Ben-Judah's website when he predicted the coming Wrath Of The Lamb earthquake that destroyed her whole reservation, leaving no survivors. Though angered and hurt, Hannah was amazed that the prediction was correct and decided she wanted to learn more from him. Eventually, she was led into following the "Romans road" of reading the Bible, where she became a believer. She met David Hassid when he passed out from sun-stroke while looking for Annie Christopher following the resurrection of Nicolae Carpathia, stitching up the wound in his head and later located his fiancée's body for him in the morgue.

    The Surge: The Results of the US Security Plan in Iraq in 2007 Félix Arteaga and Carlota García Encina 12/2/2008 Working Paper 2/2008 (Translated from Spanish) The Surge: The Results of the US Security Plan in Iraq in 2007 Félix Arteaga, Senior Analyst for Security and Defence, Elcano Royal Institute Carlota García Encina, Research Assistant, Summary Four years after the invasion of Iraq, the U.S.'s strategy has not yet reached the final objective of making Iraq a democratic country able to govern and defend itself. Introduction Four years after the invasion of Iraq, and at the cost of the lives of 3,800 soldiers and more than US$370 trillion for the US, its strategy has not yet reached the final objective of making Iraq into a democratic country able to govern and defend itself. Concern among US public opinion in regard to this situation focuses, in this order, on two fronts: the final outcome of the intervention and the cost in terms of human lives and material resources. US sociologists consider that when it comes to mobilising or demobilising social support for the US strategy in Iraq, the perception of its chances of success outweighs its cost. This perception has led President George W. Bush to compare the situation in Iraq to being inside a tunnel, where it is more important to know whether or not there is a way out than how much sacrifice it is going to take to get there. Until 2007, the US presence in Iraq remained stable in terms of its final political objectives, but as the poor results emerged, and to find a way out of the tunnel as quickly as possible, its strategy has been modified to adapt to circumstances.
