"A personal account of one man's confrontation with colonization that illuminates the philosophy and values of a First Nation threatened by the Trans Mountain pipeline. It Stops Here is the story of the spiritual, cultural, and political resurgence of a nation taking action to reclaim their lands, waters, law, and food systems in face of colonization. The book recounts the intergenerational struggle of the Tsleil-Waututh to overcome the harms of colonization and the powerful stance they have taken against the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline--a fossil fuel megaproject that would triple the capacity of tar sands bitumen piped to tidewater on their unceded territory and result in a sevenfold increase in oil tankers moving through their waters. The book provides a firsthand account of this resurgence as told by one of the most prominent leaders of the widespread opposition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion--Rueben George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. He has devoted more than a decade of his life to fighting this project and shares stories about his family's deep ancestral connections to these waters that have provided the Tsleil-Waututh with a rich abundance of foods and medicines since time immemorial. Despite the systematic attempts at cultural genocide enacted by the colonial state, Rueben recounts how key leaders of the community, such as his grandfather, Chief Dan George, always taught the younger generations to be proud of who they were and to remember the importance of their connection to the inlet. Part memoir, part call to action, It Stops Here urges policy makers to prioritize sacred territory over oil profits and insists that colonial Canada change its perspective from bending natural resources to their will to respecting this territory and those who inhabit it."--

Klappentext: "This is the first comprehensive study of sport in Taiwan to be published in English. It appears at a time when Taiwan has the attention of the global community to the greatest extent since the years following the creation of the People's Republic of China and the formation by the Chinese Nationalist Party of an alternative seat of government for the Republic of China in Taiwan's capital, Taipei. The story of Taiwan sport is one of athletic achievements and political machinations with this island's athletes allowed to compete in international sport only in the name of Chinese Taipei. The book offers insights into the development, political uses and current situation of Taiwan sport, the contribution made by the island's indigenous peoples, the significance of physical activity initiatives, relations between Taiwan and the PRC, sports fandom, the role of the sports media, and gender, exercise, and health. As is so often the case with other parts of the world, sport in Taiwan provides a lens through which we examine a range of political and social issues and thereby help readers to gain a better understanding of this interesting, vibrant, and politically sensitive island"--

According to legend, Rome was a settlement of warlike young men, from Alba, an area in the Alban Hills just southeast of Rome. When they settled there, they inaugurated the earliest of Rome's traditions, including the relationship between men and women. Any woman who lapsed from the required level of 'spectacular' virtue was fiercely punished, and the failings of women would often be the centre of Rome's legends, such as the battle between the Horatii in Rome and the Curiattii in Alba in the seventh century BC.Women of Ancient Rome describes how early austerities gradually eased, yet retained the authority of the Paterfamilias in family life, also how the differing classes reacted to each other, exploring religion and 'outsiders' such as soldiers' wives, slaves, prostitutes and how the poor coped with a world giving them few personal choices. With chapters on family and the importance of stoicism over affection, marriage and motherhood, priestesses, slaves and prostitutes, old age and death, Lynda Telford analyses the struggle for survival of women from all classes under one of the oldest codified patriarchal systems devised

We consider a problem where customers dynamically request next-day home service, e.g., repair or instalment. Unlike attended home delivery, customers cannot select a time window (TW), but the service provider assigns a next-day TW to each new customer if the customer can feasibly be inserted in the service route of the next day without violating the TWs of the existing customers. Otherwise, the customer service is postponed to another day (which is outside of the scope of this work). For fast service and efficient operations, the provider aims to serve many customers the next day. Thus, TWs have to be assigned to keep the flexibility of the fleet for future requests. For such anticipatory assignments, we propose a stochastic lookahead method that samples a set of future request scenarios, solves the corresponding team orienteering problems with TWs, and uses the solutions to evaluate current TW-assignment decisions. For real-time solutions of the TOP, we propose to approximate its optimal solution value with a tight upper bound. The bound is obtained by solving the linear relaxation of a set packing reformulation via column generation. We test our algorithm on Iowa City data and compare it to several benchmark policies. The results show that our method increases customer service significantly and that our relaxation is essential for effective decisions. We further show that our policy does not lead to observable discrimination against inconveniently located customers.
