A generation of historians has been captivated by the notorious views on gender found in the mid-sixth century Secret History by the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea. Yet the notable but subtler ways in which gender coloured Procopius' most significant work, the Wars, have received far less attention. This monograph examines how gender shaped the presentation of not only key personalities such as the seminal power-couples Theodora/ Justinian and Antonina/ Belisarius, but also the Persians, Vandals, Goths, Eastern Romans, and Italo-Romans, in both the Wars and the Secret History. By analysing the purpose and rationale behind Procopius' gendered depictions and ethnicizing worldview, this investigation unpicks his knotty agenda. Despite Procopius's reliance on classical antecedents, the gendered discourse that undergirds both texts under investigation must be understood within the broader context of contemporary political debates at a time when control of Italy and North Africa from Constantinople was contested.

Until 1989 it was official Communist policy in eastern Europe to absorb Gypsies into the ?ruling? working class. Since 1989, the Gypsies have become the scapegoat of postcommunism. More Gypsies have had their houses burned and have been killed in racist attacks in the first six postcommunist years than in all the time since World War II. Today the

In France, 1940, an unlikely pair team up to evade the approaching Nazis. Little Jacobowsky, a Polish Jewish intellectual, has been one step ahead of the Nazis for years. Stjerbinsky is an aristocratic, anti-Semitic Polish colonel who's trying to get to England. Jacobowsky has a car but can't drive; the colonel can. And so begins their adventurous journey - set against a backdrop of lively and lovely songs and dances - that takes them to a carnival, a Jewish wedding, and, when the car breaks down, onto a train. Accompanying them is Marianne, the colonel's girlfriend with whom Jacobowsky falls in love. But it is not to be.

Though we may not know it, there is a war in the spiritual realm going on all around us. We may not know it, but we are involved in it whether or not we want to be. This war is for the souls of the all the people on earth. Make no mistake: we are in the last days. Satan knows this and he has unleashed all of his fury against the earth, for he knows that his time is running out. Believers in Christ, we must now rise to the occasion and into all that God has for us. It's time for Believers in Messiah Jesus to walk in the spiritual realm; to embrace the supernatural as a normal way of life expanding the Kingdom of God. It's time for all Christians to use all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and to be filled with His spirit. It's time for every Christian to become intimate through prayer with the Creator of all things, The Great I Am It's time to enlist in His army and learn how to defeat our enemy, Satan and bring love and peace to our land. And to recover what the enemy has stolen for us. We, as Christians have the authority from Messiah Jesus to do just that. The Army of God is a manual setting up the guidelines to walk in your destiny and the authority given to every believer. Learn how to conduct spiritual warfare and protect yourself from the enemy. Find out who you are in Messiah Jesus and how God sees you. Our battle is not against any person, the scriptures state "Love your neighbor as yourself". It is against spiritual forces that we battle against as stated in Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (KJV) Be strong and stay close to the Lord and see what He is going to do. It's time for all of the believers of Christ to rally the troops, to enlist in the army, and to come forward in the boldness and power that has been given to us by our lord Jesus Christ. We must find our place in his army and we must take this earth for his glory. How do we have this victory in Jesus? Only by the overcoming power that comes through prayer and praise to our God. His church can no longer stand passively by and allow the enemy to run rampant throughout the world. We must take up his banner and his cross. We must dedicate ourselves completely to him. There is a great harvest that must be taken before his return. It is the charge of his church to do this. But the church presently lies in disarray and unbelief, dedicated to the worldly things instead of the heavenly things of God. It is our charge to prepare ourselves as His bride, clean, pure and spotless before Him. It is our charge to speak His word throughout the world, to work toward establishing His kingdom on earth.

Paul Cooper is an outsider. When he looks at people he wonders what bird they are. He finds making friends difficult especially when he has to move from school to school, so he obsesses about ornithology until he meets Ashley. Ashley is everything Cooper isn't.

HIS IS A STUDY OF HOW some of the most marginal and exploited people that exist can imagine themselves to be princes of the world. During the past two hundred years the Gypsies of Eastern Europe have faced near enslavement by land owners, the physical and moral onslaught of the Nazi holocaust, the fundamental challenge to their central values from the Communist state, and the violent discrimination and dislocation caused by the return to capitalism. One would have thought that the challenge would be too great, that they would have suffered cultural
