Freedom Next Time
John Pilger is one of the world's pre-eminent investigative journalists and documentary film-makers.His best-selling books of reportage, which include Heroes and Hidden Voices, have in the words of Noam Chomsky 'been a beacon of light in often dark times'.In Freedom Next Time he looks at five countries, in each of which a long struggle for freedom has taken place; in each the people, having shed blood and dreams, are still waiting.In Afghanistan, Iraq and South Africa there has been the promise of hope, and even an 'official' freedom, but the reality of these divided societies is that they are still waiting for real freedom.In Palestine, the cycle of violence continues with no resolution in sight. And the island of Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, is a microcosm of the ruthlessness of great powers.The island was sold by the British to the American military in the 1960s.The indigenous population, descended from slaves, were forcibly removed to the slums of Port Louis in Mauritius.They have continued to fight for the return of their homeland ever since - three years ago the High Court granted them the right of return, but this has subsequently been blocked.The island remains the US's third biggest military base; a base from which they are able to launch attacks against the Middle East. Once again John Pilger gives a voice to the people living through these momentous times and, in gripping detail, shows us the lives behind the headlines.

About Time : Einstein's Unfinished Revolution
In About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution Paul Davies confronts the puzzles and paradoxes of time that have bemused the world's greatest thinkers throughout the ages. When Albert Einstein formulated his theory of relativity it brought about a revolution in our understanding of time, yet also presented a new set of mysteries.Einstein's time can be warped, leading to bizarre possibilities such as black holes and time travel, while making a nonsense of our perception of a 'now' or a division of time into past, present and future. In About Time Paul Davies tackles the tough questions about time, including the strange relationship between physical time and our psychological perception of it.He gives straightforward descriptions of topics such as the theory of relativity, the relation between time dilation and the speed of light and Hawking's 'imaginary time'.He concludes that, despite decades of progress in unravelling the mysteries of time, the revolution is still underway...

Digital Protest and Activism in Public Education : Reactions to Neoliberal Restructuring in Israel
Digital protest and activism in reaction to the consequences of neoliberalism in public education have become a global phenomenon in the second decade of the 21st century, emerging in countries such as the US, UK, France, and Israel.Teachers, parents, and other stakeholders in education are increasingly using digital media in their protest and activism efforts, yet these efforts have hardly been investigated to date.This book addresses this gap and employs an empirical exploration of the way in which Internet-based protest activity concerning public education issues is constructed, mobilised, and carried out.In doing so it provides key insights for the study of educational politics in the digital age.It shows how digital media is used by teachers and parents to create a bottom-up politics, spanning a common divide in the study of education politics between the macro (policymaking) and the micro (school) levels.The authors propose a novel taxonomy of uses of social media by digital activists, and argue that Internet-based social mobilisations develop different patterns of use of social media, based on the lived experience of their members and potential supporters.Finally, the book situates the rise of digital activism in education within the neoliberal restructuring of national education systems and the rise of neoliberal discourse of competition, budget discipline, and measurable achievements.The authors highlight three cases of Internet-based mobilisations in Israel, in which teachers and parents successfully affected public education policy. By providing a case-study driven analysis of digital protest and activism in education, this book will prove an invaluable text for researchers, leaders and practitioners in the field of education policy and comparative education.

Which digital radio clock displays UTC time?
A digital radio clock that displays UTC time is commonly known as an atomic clock. These clocks receive a time signal from atomic clocks maintained by national laboratories, ensuring precise and accurate timekeeping. By receiving the UTC time signal, atomic clocks automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes and maintain accuracy to within a fraction of a second. This makes them ideal for applications that require precise time synchronization, such as scientific research, telecommunications, and global financial transactions.

How can one use disc and digital at the same time?
One can use disc and digital at the same time by purchasing a physical disc of a movie or game and also purchasing a digital copy of the same content. This allows the user to have the convenience of accessing the digital version on their devices while also having the physical disc as a backup or for collecting purposes.
