Since compassion consists in a pressure to acknowledge and respond to particular suffering, a pressure so ineluctable as to seem mathematical, the very idea of a compassionate politics verges on incoherence. For politics typically demands precisely that we attend to large numbers and it is just there that compassion falters and loses its grip. Matters, however, are even more complicated than that. Compassion is not simply insufficient. It is a trap. Its limitations give rise to a set of politically repugnant temptations - pity, indifference, cynicism, and resentment. The inadequacies of compassion and the unattractive mutations to which it is susceptible are especially clear in discussions of the politics of photography, in particular with respect to what we commonly suppose is its documentary function. Some might think this odd terrain for a political theorist. Yet as artist and critic Martha Rosler, for instance, suggests, “documentary engages with structural injustices, often to provoke active responses.” So here, with matters of causality, of justice, and of the springs of political action, we encounter central preoccupations of political theory. And given the visual nature of much contemporary politics - governments, international agencies, political parties, non-governmental organizations, and social movements, for instance, all rely on photographic imagery in their efforts to generate support for or create opposition to policies, initiatives and events - those preoccupations emerge as central to political studies generally. Documentary practice allows us - pardon the pun - to bring compassion and its vicissitudes into focus in one particular domain. This is important insofar as some theorists suggest that compassion is a cardinal virtue for liberal democratic citizens. Conversely, by focusing on the arithmetic of compassion it is possible to identify aspects of current documentary practice that impede efforts to deploy photography for political purposes.

Poetry. Among the Saami/reindeer people a yoik is sung to calm a reindeer or a baby. It is sung to build community. Cooperation. To travel to the other world. Locate lost objects. Restore health. Express feelings. A yoik is not so much a song as it is the voice. It speaks to the land, tells us we are all connected. The poems in Yoik, too, connect us to the plants, the animals, possibly a future. Jim Johnson is the current Poet Laureate of Duluth, Minnesota.

Jim Johnston and James Mitchell bring authors from various backgrounds together to discuss the Parliament’s future. These voices include a feminist and equalities campaigner, the chairman of Brodies LLP and the President of the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, among many others. This short series of think pieces discusses vital issues such as the increased complexity of devolution, the Parliament’s new fiscal and welfare powers and the need to respond to public expectations and demands. Interspersed throughout the book are a number of Dear Scottish Parliament... letters from young people across Scotland articulating their hopes and dreams for Scotland for the next 20 years. The Parliament has established itself as an accepted feature in Scotland’s political landscape and there is little, if any, debate about its legitimacy as a representative body. At the same time, however, the goodwill towards the Parliament is likely to be tested as MSPs are faced with significant challenges over the next 20 years. This book explores some of these challenges and signposts key priorities in response.

If you're looking down at your arthritic knee and seeing only a worn-out joint with eroding cartilage, you're thinking about your knee the wrong way. There are two problems with this line of thinking. First of all, the structural changes that commonly take place in arthritis, things such as cartilage loss, meniscus tears, and bone spurs, can all be found in people with no knee pain. Consider the study that looked at 319 subjects between the ages of 25 and 74 with knee arthritis on x-ray - and found that only 47% had knee pain. Put another way, 53% of these people were walking around with knee arthritis and no pain. Yet another study looked at 49 subjects over the age of 45 with no knee pain or arthritis, and found that 76% of them had meniscus tears! The second problem with focusing on the structural changes in knee arthritis is trying to figure out what's causing your pain. Most of the numerous structures in your knee have nerve pain fibers going to them, so good luck trying to pinpoint which one(s) are the exact source of your pain. In fact, about the only knee structure we can safely rule out is the articular cartilage that can be seen wearing out on x-rays! Knee cartilage itself actually has no pain fibers going to it, and therefore cannot produce any pain. So what now? Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis takes a new approach to an old problem. Instead of worrying about structural problems (that studies show people can live just fine with) you will learn how to fix the functional problems found in knees with arthritis. And as the research shows again and again, if you improve functions such as the strength and proprioception of your knee, the pain goes away. Based entirely on randomized controlled trials, Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis is a simple, yet effective program that can be done in the privacy of your home with minimal cost or equipment. Exercise sheets are also provided to help guide you step-by-step through a six-week program.

About 20 years ago a friend did a horoscope on me and asked how my writing was going? I responded with writing? I can't even spell! She gave me a dictionary and that was the start of my first book. Another friend and I got into screen pays and even had an agent only to have that fall apart. Later my step daughter wanted a bed time story which which I made up and it became the first of a series of books like Dr. Sause. I called them “My little” deries which are yet to be published. The “Hammer and the nail” is my first kids book. I have eight more and two “self help” books and five screen plays which have yet to be published or made into movies. This time it won't take 20 years.

Finding Your Place in God's Great Story for Kids

On February 15, 2006, an autistic high school student stunned the world when he entered a basketball game in the dying minutes and proceeded to shoot the lights out. CBS, ESPN, CNN and major news outlets around the world picked up the story, the YouTube video got millions of hits, and the world was fascinated with everything to do with Jason McElwain (J-Mac). But the story began long before he took the court that night at Greece Athena High School in Rochester, New York. This is the story of an incredible relationship between a high school student and his basketball coach. Coach Jim Johnson's sense of compassion led him to give an autistic, learning disabled team manager a once-in-a-lifetime chance -- and how that boy seized the opportunity in such a stupendous way will not be forgotten anytime soon. This is a story about an event that the coach rates as a genuine, modern-day miracle. It is an important book for sports fans and for people who need to believe that miracles can still happen. It also reinforces the value of applying passion, goal-setting, perseverance and teamwork to any of life's endeavors.
