There are many nations throughout the world where homeoprophylaxis (HP) has been in use for more than 200 years. This essay presents mainly what I, personally, have found in the nations of Germany, England, the Netherlands, Canada, the United States, Australia and India, with a brief mention of the nation of Turkey. Because of the international readership of LINKS, what I have compiled in this survey represents the beginning of an understanding of what is going on in these nations in reference to HP, hoping that it will offer an understanding and acceptance of HP for what it is—a nontoxic choice that is in increasing demand by the people—and a call to encourage further use of HP.

Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the American Society for Indexing (ASI) annual conference scheduled for April 2020 switched to an online venue. The conference had 80 attendees overall, hailing from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and India. Shannon Li reports on the program and reflects on the experience of meeting online with other indexers around the world rather than in the usual in-person conference format.

This manual is for everyone who treats people with concussion. There are more than 3 million brain injuries each year in the United States and millions more around the world. Most of these injuries are concussions. After concussion, 30% or maybe even more can have prolonged symptoms and deficits. Much of this manual is written for the people who take care of the 30%. There is not one specific “post-concussion syndrome.” Instead, there are many post-concussive paths, and this manual is written to help those who are tasked with figuring this out, one patient at a time. This manual is about pragmatic approaches to taking care of patients in the absence of true scientific evidence. This manual is written to be used “on the fly,” right now, without a lot of prior studying or memorization. This manual is meant to supplement, not replace, the knowledge and judgment of medical providers caring for concussion patients.

The socialist sympathies that inform the writing of Flemish author Walter van den Broeck align him with a well-established tradition of socially engaged writing in Flanders. In his novel Terug naar Walden (Back to Walden), published in 2009, he revisits the Walden project of the Dutch reformer and writer Frederik van Eeden (1860−1932). Van den Broeck suggests that a reconsideration of the socialist ideals that inspired Van Eeden to establish settlements in the Netherlands and the United States is warranted in the light of the economic crisis triggered by unchecked capitalist practices in 2008. In Terug naar Walden Ruler Marsh, the richest man in the world, unleashes a global financial crisis as a form of retaliation against the capitalist system that ruined his parents. Marsh returns to the Kempen in Flanders where his family originated. In a Heideggerean affirmation of the local as exemplified by the country road, Van den Broeck articulates his vision of the common, that theorists Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri in their Empire trilogy have attempted to salvage from communist thinking, with a utopian notion that a stronger connection with the land and the people within one’s immediate environment may provide a useful premise for the development of viable alternatives to capitalism.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of American Muslim organizations working against domestic violence in Muslim communities. The central goal of these organizations is simple: the eradication of domestic violence, a scourge that affects too many individuals, families, and communities in the United States and all over the world. Their work, however, is complicated, ongoing, and challenging. This book is about the people who carry out anti-domestic violence work in Muslim communities in the United States. It chronicles their efforts, their motivations, and their engagement with gender dynamics, textual interpretation, and religious authority. The chapter then lays out the framework for the following chapters, including the sources and methods employed in the study and the complex landscape of secondary literature on domestic violence.

I am very conscious of the honor done to me and to the teachers of Britain by your president in asking me to address you. My qualifications for talking about American schools and educational methods are very slight indeed compared with (hose of many of you here today, so I am quite sure that it is not on those grounds that I am being asked to speak to you. Perhaps it is that someone is a little suspicious of the report that I am going to curry baek to England, and is contemplating “bumping me off” if I haven't formed satisfactory impressions of this beautiful state of yours! For my own safety, then, I will say at once that I think that Colorado is one of the most beautiful places in the world, that the people of Colorado are among the most hospitable in the world, and that the schools of Denver, which are the only Colorado schools that I know much about, are among the best in the world.

Between the end of 1964 and the middle of 1965 there was some increase in the rate of growth of world industrial production, entirely due to the rapid expansion in the United States and Canada. The rate of growth in Europe apparently fell slightly partly owing to the relative stagnation in the United Kingdom, but also because of some slowing down in West Germany and the Netherlands and slight falls in Belgium and France which were not, taken together, fully offset by the upswing in Italy. Japanese production has remained virtually unchanged for a year (table 10).

Around 1882, the photographer Albert Fernique photographed a group of Parisian workers gathered around trestles and benches inside a workshop. The floor is strewn with piles of wood and the ceiling beams tower above the workmen. Even so, the space is dwarfed by a massive, sculpted shoulder, draped in Roman robes, which dominates the background of the photograph; two workers watching the scene from a beam just below the roof appear to be perched on it like sparrows. The shoulder belonged to the statue, Liberty Enlightening the World—a gift to the United States from the France of the Third Republic. Work on the statue began here, in the workshop of the sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, only a year after the suppression of the Paris Commune. More people were killed in that one Bloody Week (la semaine sanglante) in 1874 than were executed in the entire Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. If the statue was supposed to symbolize liberty, this was to be an orderly liberty far removed from the license of the armed Parisian workers and their short-lived utopian government. Unlike her ancestor Marianne, immortalized by Eugène Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, the statue does not wear the red cap that, since ancient Rome, had symbolized freedom from slavery. In the wake of the Paris Commune, the Third Republic banned the cap and sought to banish the unruly freedom it represented.
