Spin Doctors

pasts rises like a wall of incomprehension, shutting them out. In this novel Mukherjee pursues her project of depicting the Asian threads in the contemporary American tapestry. Besides Jasmine herself, this rural town includes both a Chinese-born doctor who doesn’t understand the allusion to the old “Dick and Jane” books, which children of Bud’s generation were taught to read from, and enough Laotian Hmong refugees to form an entire church of their own. Without being overly insistent, Mukherjee simply

Gesellschaftsschicht bezeichnen kann – auf alle Fälle als Auswuchs. Es ist eine Galerie von lebendigen Porträts, eine Revue von sozialen Mon- 31 struositäten, die es in ähnlicher oder verwandelter Gestalt zu allen Zeiten gibt: Schwachmacher, Angeber, Spinner, kurz, die Nervensägen, die jede Gesellschaft zur Tortur machen können. Um wieviel mehr erst einem Mann, der auf sein Rendez-vous brennt? Zuerst erscheint vor Eraste ein Marquis, einer von jener Sorte, die Molière sicherlich gefressen hatte, der dröhnend

measure positive spin-offs from the trilogy and they (Clark 2001a) acknowledged tourism promotion as a vital opportunity created by the films, increasing the profile and perception of New Zealand as a tourism destination. Tourism is vitally important to New Zealand’s economy, both directly and indirectly, contributing nearly 10% of national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Ministry of Tourism 2003). Films are re-occurring events, with DVD/video launches, television airing and other spin-offs providing

We Aren’t Taught or Encouraged to Be Authentic From the moment we come into the world, we immediately begin getting “trained.” The doctors, midwives, nurses, parents, family members, and others we meet on our very first day of life begin taking care of us and at the same time imposing on us their rules, procedures, opinions, beliefs, and ideas of how the world works and how things should

Occident à partir du XIV e siècle. Un autre grand savant, philosophe et alchimiste anglais va exercer une influence considé- rable sur son époque et encore de nos jours, grâce à la méthode scientifique dont il est l’un des pères fondateurs. Surnommé Doctor mirabilis (Docteur admirable) en raison de sa haute connaissance, Roger Bacon (1214- 1294) est sans doute l’une des plus grandes figures scientifiques du Moyen Âge. Selon lui, aucun discours ne peut donner la certitude, tout repose sur l’expérience

include a great deal of cruelty but few sympathetic characters or situations. Wives routinely deceive their husbands with a priest, monk or student, though not all these tales centre on adultery. A range of non-aristocratic types – churchmen, lawyers, doctors, merchants, students and peasants – trick and are tricked. The settings are urban and much of what is known of town life in the thirteenth century derives from their clearly described streets, costumes and customs. But their main purpose was to entertain

presenting the prototype of his time machine for the first time; he explains how it works and carries out an experiment. Apparently the experiment is successful. • There are several people with the time traveller: the narrator, the “medical man” (a doctor?) and the psychologist. They are here to witness the experiment. • Contrary to what we thought, the grammatizator is a machine that writes books for you. • It seems to be a little complicated to operate because there are many things to activate

s’intéresser à la stratégie pour l’aider dans une tâche aussi imposante. II. Le concept de stratégie The first element of [Hippocrates] method is hard, persistent, unremitting labor in the sick room, not in the library ; the all-round adaptation of the doctor to his task, an adaptation that is far from being merely intellectual. The second element of that method is accurate observations of things and events, selection, guided by judgment born of familiarity and experience, of the salient and the recurrent

dans une startup, il faut tout faire soimême. Mais ils ont de bonnes notions des contraintes d’industrialisation, ce qui est un plus. Certaines entreprises sont bienveillantes vis-à-vis de ces projets qui peuvent parfois même être considérés comme spin-offs.  Salariés non dirigeants d’entreprises : ce cas est moins fréquent que le précédent, mais il est courant chez les jeunes salariés. Ils ont raison car il est préférable de se lancer aussi jeune que possible dans l’entrepreunariat. Ce cas est
