In 1965, when psychologists Sandra and Daryl Bem met and married, they were determined to function as truly egalitarian partners and also to raise their children in accordance with gender-liberated, anti-homophobic, and sex-positive feminist ideals. During the next ten years, they exuberantly shared the details of their daily lives in both public lectures and the mass media in order to provide at least one concrete example of an alternative to the traditional heterosexual family. In the 1990s, Sandra Bem also published an award-winning book, The Lenses of Gender, which spelled out the feminist theory behind their feminist practices.This second book by Sandra Bem, an autobiographical account of the Bems nearly thirty-year marriage, is both a personal history of the Bems past and a social history of a key period in feminisms past. It is also a look into feminisms future, because the Bems children, Emily and Jeremy, now in their early twenties, speak at length in the book as well.Bem analyzes what aspects of family background and psychological makeup led her and Daryl to bond so immediately and to become gender pioneers. She describes the egalitarianism and feminist child-rearing that they invented for their private needs and tells how these family agendas were transformed into public feminist discourse. Finally she reassesses this early feminist union now that the marriage has come to an end and the children are young adults, evaluating (with the help of lengthy interviews with Emily and Jeremy and a brief epilogue by Daryl) what the Bems experiences-both positive and negative-have to say about the viability and necessity of nontraditional gender arrangements in society today

Since ancient times, the Bangka Belitung Islands have been known as one of the world's largest tin producers. Mining has taken place massively since tin is no longer a strategic commodity, marked by the issuance of several policies that grant permits to anyone to mine tin. Mining, which was originally mostly carried out on land, over time and needed in the economic aspect, has also been carried out at sea. As a result, mining, mostly carried out without permits, impacts environmental damage and other legal and social aspects. In fact, from a regulatory standpoint, the government has issued laws and regulations that serve as references in environmental management, including its relation to the mining sector. This study aims to determine awareness of environmental law in unconventional tin mining activities in the Bangka Belitung Islands. Judging from its type, this research is analytical descriptive research, describing an object through which the data obtained is processed and analyzed to conclude. The research was conducted in all regencies/municipalities in the Bangka Belitung Islands. From the research that has been done, the result is that even though they know, the fact is that most of the mining is carried out without permits, plus there has never been, and there has been no socialization regarding tin mining permits. In addition, most of them also know that their mining activities damage the environment and admit that mining activities damage the habitat of living things. This means that, based on the theories and concepts used, miners are more towards ecocentrism because they make nature an object, not ecocentrism, which pays attention to environmental sustainability.

How did Jean Monnet, an entrepreneurial internationalist who never held an elective office, never joined a political party, and never developed any significant popular following in his native France, become one of the most influential European statesmen of the twentieth century? How did he conceive of, and become instrumental in achieving, European integration? Addressing these questions, Sherrill Brown Wells's political biography also offers insights into the role of the fledgling community of European states in establishing peace in war-ravaged Europe in the aftermath of World War II.

Abstract This paper studies side activities, including political activities, in the context of a hidden action agency problem. Given increases in the number of employees working from home and increases in managerial political engagement, such activities have become more prevalent. We examine the impact of these activities on the optimal contact, the agent's welfare, the firm's profit, and total welfare. For the case of political activities, we study the impact of external negative and positive feedback as the result of these activities on the optimal contract and all equilibrium variables. We ask whether the firm should encourage or discourage these activities.

While Unconventional Warfare (UW) remains a viable, low-cost method of indirect warfare, some of the assumptions underpinning traditional UW have diverged from reality in the last two decades. These include the idea that UW occurs mostly within denied areas; the categorisation of resistance movements into underground, auxiliary and guerrilla components; the model of a pyramid of resistance activities becoming larger in scale, more violent and less covert until they emerge 'above ground' into overt combat; and the assumption that the external (non-indigenous) component of UW primarily consists of infiltrated Special Forces elements, or support from governments-in-exile. Arguably these assumptions were always theoretical attempts to model a messy reality. But since the start of this century the evolution of resistance warfare within a rapidly changing environment has prompted the UW community to reconsider their relevance. This article examines that evolution and its implications. It begins with a historical overview, examines how drivers of evolutionary change are manifested in modern resistance warfare and considers the implications for future UW.
