Fantasy coin.Cethosia biblis is medium-sized butterfly, with a wingspan reaching about 8¿9 centimetres (3.1¿3.5 in). In this species the sexes are dimorphic. In males the dorsal sides of the wings are bright orange-red, framed by a black outline with white spots. The undersides range from bright red to pale brown, interlaced by black and white. This astonishing pattern helps to disguise the shape of the butterfly, while the intense colour of the dorsal sides of the wings is a warning to predators that the Red Lacewing has a bad taste, deriving from the poisonous host plants of the caterpillars. The dorsal sides of the wings of the females are grayish-brownish with black spots and white bands and spots on the black margins. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

As the Bartlet administration enters their last year, Oval Office hopefuls emerge from both major parties. And so do political strategists eager to back those bids for the White House dreamers and doers willing to leave their West Wing posts for another grab at the brass ring. An up-and-coming congressman (Jimmy Smits) and an astute Republican senator (Alan Alda) are among the Presidential aspirants. But in addition to the running for office, there's the business of running the country - a job on the shoulders of Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his now re-organised staff. It's a taxing job under any circumstance, even more so when the nation's commander-in-chief battles the ravages of Muliple Sclerosis. The candidates, the staff, the nation: see how they run in this remarkable 22-episode Season 6. 6 Discs

Koevoet! has been an global bestseller since its release over 20 years ago. This new edition goes far beyond the original in capturing the courage, fear and intensity of South Africa's deadly bush war. Never before had an outsider been given unrestricted access to Koevoet, the elite South West African Police counterinsurgency unit - also known as Operation K and officially as the South West Africa Police Counter Insurgency Unit (SWAPOL-COIN). Author Jim Hooper spent a total of five months embedded with the semi-secret and predominantly black 'Ops K', which climaxed with one of the most vicious and determined infiltrations ever mounted by the communist-backed South West Africa People s Organization (SWAPO). Crossing regularly into Angola in pursuit of the insurgents, he saw friends die next to him and was twice wounded himself. This updated edition, drawing on the recollections and diaries of the men he rode with, will fascinate yet another generation of readers. In assembling this work, Jim Hooper had the opportunity to re-connect with so many of the men who allowed this outsider to ride with them. All of which brought a new intensity and poignancy. It also reminded Jim Hooper how privileged he was to have been witness to Koevoet's war. This stunning work is a tribute to Koevoet and the legend they created. "Hooper is a careful reporter, but also a born writer; his vivid word-pictures drag you in and hold you. He skillfully conveys his initially unwelcoming reception by an operational unit; the long, frustrating grind of search operations in punishing terrain and climate; the extraordinary bush skills of the Ovambo policemen; the shock of sudden contact, and its aftermath." Martin Windrow "Jim Hooper's account of South Africa's successful "Ops K" in Namibia against South West Africa's People's Organization guerrillas should be required reading. The classic narrative is as timely today as it was twenty years ago." Charles D. Melson, Chief Historian, U.S. Marine Corps University. "This expanded edition is a skillfully woven mosaic of personal accounts from those involved and what he experienced during combat with Koevoet. The use of new material from those he rode with lays bare the realities of war, the fears and emotions that ebb and flow in the heat of combat, and the courage one finds to bring the battle to the enemy" Piet Nortje, Author of 32 Battalion "Koevoet describes in great detail the men, both black and white, and their mine-protected cross-country vehicles which were years ahead of anything in use by other western forces, the dedicated helicopter support units and the tactics used to bring an elusive guerrilla force to battle."

German NUCLEAR BLAST pressing, release number NB , of gate-fold Double-album by TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN: Music Inspired By The Life And Times Of Scrooge. Limited Edition of 300 hand-numbered copies on White vinyl. The track and other details are as shown on the images, as provided. In between touring and writing for Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen hasn’t been taking things easy. Instead he’s been working on his solo album “Music Inspired by The Life And Times Of Scrooge”. The whole album, written and produced by Tuomas Holopainen, is based on a graphic novel called »The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck«, written and illustrated by Don Rosa. The title of the album gives a clue that this isn’t a typical album - the words “Music Inspired by” are accurate as this album is largely instrumental, with some songs being purely instrumental, some having full vocals and some using choral parts as well as the music. The whole album really does feel like a soundtrack rather than a typical album. Pip Williams, who worked with Tuomas on the “Imaginaerum - The score” album (the soundtrack to the movie Imaginaerum) has again worked with him on this album for the orchestrations. As with the recent Nightwish albums, Troy Donockley is also involved adding his pipes to the sound. There are a number of guest musicians, including the London Orchestra, The Metro Voices (a choir from London) and four lead vocalists: Alan Reid, Johanna Kurkela, Johanna Iivanainen & Tony Kakko. Brief comments on a few tracks: The album opens with “Glasgow ″, featuring a spoken narration at the start with Troy Donockley’s Uillean pipes giving a Celtic flavour. This gives way to some female vocals. The beautiful orchestrations will feel familiar to Nightwish fans as will the use of Troy’s pipes. The track ends with a piano section. “Into the west” opens with some soft female vocals. There’s a section that reminds of “Journey of the Sorceror” by The Eagles, better known to many people as the theme music for “The Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy” - it’s that same guitar sound and for a short period the tune is also reminiscent of it. Elsewhere the track features piano, a choir and an orchestra - there’s a lot going on during this track but everything works perfectly together. “Duels and cloudscapes” is an instrumental track and starts strongly with the orchestra performing some lovely symphonic music with lots of power, but then part way through the whole feel changes, things slow down, the orchestra fades out and its percussion and horns that take over with some soft choral vocals in the background. It has quite a quirky feel and you can certainly imagine it accompanying a funny part of the story. After a while the orchestra comes back in and the song returns to it’s powerful symphonic beginning. “The last sled” reminds one of Enya, but with more of a symphonic element giving it a more powerful feel. The penultimate track on the album is the one that was released as the first single, “A lifetime of adventure”. It’s a beautiful track and is one of the tracks with vocals all the way through. The final track is “Go slowly now, sands of time”, and is a track that features male lead vocals, female backing vocals, Uilleann pipes and a number of other instruments. It’s got quite a slow pace and has a folk music feel to it. There is another track on the album, a bonus track which is an alternate version on “A lifetime of adventure”. This really is a fantastic album with a real movie soundtrack feel to it. Beautiful orchestrations, lovely vocals and great tunes, all tied together with a single concept. It’s definitely not another Nightwish album, but Nightwish fans who enjoyed the Imaginaerum score are going to love this album as it’s got a similar feel with it’s largely instrumental sound. Tuomas Holopainen has done it again – a superb album.

Conflicting Missions  is a compelling and dramatic account of Cuban policy in Africa and of its escalating clash with US policy and later its direct military clashes with the South African Defence Force in Angola. It is the other side of a conflict that South Africans have not been told about until now. Gleijeses' narrative gallops from Cuba's first hesitant steps in rendering assistance to Algerian rebels fighting France in 1961, to the war in the Congo (later Zaire and now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1964-65, when 100 Cubans led by Che Guevara, acting in support of the Simba rebels, were confronted by white mercenaries from South Africa, Rhodesia, Britain and elsewhere - supported and controlled by America's Central Intelligence Agency. Gleijeses writes about the dramatic dispatch to Angola of Cuban troops to aid the communist-backed rebel MPLA movement in 1975. And how, being the rainy season, their destruction of the major river bridges in Angola's north contributed to halting the rapid and victorious advance of the seemingly unstoppable Battle Group Zulu of South Africa's SADF. The blocking of Battle Group Zulu from reaching Luanda led to political decisions by the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, to call off the CIA's future operations in support of UNITA and the FNLA and to South African Prime Minister John Vorster withdrawing all South African forces from Angola. This left the MPLA and its Cuban and other communist allies in control. This was undoubtedly the most significant domino that would soon lead to the fall of white Rhodesia and ultimately to the handover of Namibia to SWAPO and finally to black rule in the Republic South Africa. Piero Gleijeses analysis is clear, rigorous and balanced; the archival research supporting it is unprecedented. Not only is he the first historian to have gained access to closed Cuban archives, he also worked extensively in the archives of the United States, Belgium, Great Britain and East and West Germany. In addition he interviewed many of the protagonists in the United States, Cuba and Africa - from the head of the CIA station in Luanda to Che Guevara's second-in-command in the Congo - and analysed the American, European, South African and other African press. The result is a remarkably comprehensive document that sheds new light on the history of those times. It  revolutionizes  our view of Cuba's international role, challenges conventional beliefs about the Soviet Union in directing Cuba's action in Africa and provides, for the first time, a look from the inside of Cuba's foreign policy during the Cold War Hardcover, 490 pages.  Published August 2005

One night in winter, Peter Lake, orphan and master-mechanic, attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks the house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. Thus begins the love between Peter, a middle-aged Irish burglar, and Beverly Penn, a young girl who has a secret...

That John McEnroe notoriously refused to step on the white lines of a tennis court between points? And that President-elect Barack Obama played a game of basketball the morning of his victory in the Iowa primary, and continued the tradition the day of every following primary? Superstitious habits are common. Do you ever cross your fingers, knock on wood, avoid walking under ladders, or step around black cats? Sentimental value often supersedes material worth. If someone offered to replace your childhood teddy bear or wedding ring with a brand new, exact replica, would you do it? How about GBP20 for trying on a jumper owned by Fred West? Where do such feelings come from and why do most of us have them? Humans are born with brains designed to make sense of the world and that need for an explanation can lead to beliefs that go beyond reason. To be true they would have to be supernatural. With scientific education we learn that such beliefs are irrational but at an intuitive level they can be resistant to reason or lie dormant in otherwise sensible adults. It now seems unlikely that any effort to get rid of supernatural beliefs or superstitious behaviours will be completely successful. This is not all bad news - such beliefs are a useful glue that binds us together as a society. Combining brilliant insight with witty example Hood weaves a page-turning account of our 'supersense' that navigates a path through brain science, child development, popular culture, mental illness and the paranormal. After reading SuperSense, you will realize why you are not as reasonable as you might like to think - and why that might be no bad thing.

Investors are disgusted by the misdeeds of a few and suspicious of the industry at large. Every firm finds its integrity open to question. Regulators are up in arms. And the industry is facing billions of dollars in costs to comply with a floodtide of new regulations. But imagine what could happen if Wall Street firms looked back to a simpler time when a handshake was enough to seal a deal, and right and wrong were as clear as black and white. What if executives, portfolio managers, analysts, and traders decided that some things aren't for sale? What if every major investment firm agreed to live by the principle that the client always comes first? In words and images, Cowboy Ethics explores the life and code of the working cowboy as a source of inspiration pointing the industry to a way out of its troubles. The book is intended as the catalyst for a movement to transform the industry - not with the carrot and stick, but from the inside out - one person, firm, and organization at a time.

THE TRUE STORY OF THREE SAILORS IN A CARIBBEAN HURRICANE. A “normal” Caribbean hurricane travels from east to west, but Lenny was anything but normal. Spawned south of Cuba in November , this late-season storm defied all predictions by moving steadily east toward the Leeward Islands. Eventually building almost to Category 5 strength, Lenny squatted for two days between the Virgin Islands and St. Martin, whipping the ocean with 155-mile-per-hour winds and 60-foot seas.
