Malaria, caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium, is a highly prevalent and lethal infectious disease, responsible for 435,000 deaths in 2017. Optimism that malaria was gradually being controlled and eliminated has been tempered by recent evidence that malaria control measures are beginning to stall and that Plasmodium parasites are developing resistance to front-line anti-malarial drugs. An important milestone has been the recent development of a malaria vaccine (Mosquirix) for use in humans, the very first against a parasitic infection. Unfortunately, this vaccine has modest and short-lived efficacy, with vaccinated individuals possibly being at incre...
Kevin Cooper was convicted of the brutal murders of a Chino Hills, California family and a young houseguest in 1985 and has been on death row at San Quentin ever since. In his new explosive expose, "Scapegoat," investigative journalist J. Patrick O'Connor reveals how the sheriff's office and the district attorney's office of San Bernardino County framed Cooper for these horrific murders. "Scapegoat" provided a rare direct examination of the broken justice system in the United States, where homicide detectives and district attorneys all too often become blinded by their goal of winning convictions rather than searching for justice for both the victims and the accused.
"With the book and the CD Jerk // Through their tears, Gisèle Vienne, Dennis Cooper, Peter Rehberg, and Jonathan Capdevielle translate their theatrical collaborations (I apologize, Kindertotenlieder, Jerk, This is how you will disappear, a.o.) into this unique multi-media presentation. The package includes an English language recording of the sound piece Jerk, directed by Vienne, from a story by Cooper with original music by Rehberg. It's performed by Capdevielle and Cooper himself. Jerk is an imaginary reconstruction - strange, poetic, funny and somber - of the crimes perpetrated by American serial killer Dean Corll who, with the help of teenagers David Brooks and Wayne Henley, killed more than twenty boys in the state of Texas during the mid-70s. Brooks, while serving a life sentence in prison, presents a puppet play that is that reconstruction of these crimes. In the book, Vienne and Cooper create a new photo sequence which resonates with the sound piece. Titled Through the tears, it is culled from photographs and dolls by Vienne."--P. [4] of cover.

Bonjour,Je me prénomme Kira! Laissez-moi vous conter mon histoire extraordinaire! J'ai été adoptée à l'âge de sept ans par une famille formidable. Personne ne sait d'où je viens ni ne connais mes racines généalogiques, pas même moi. J'ai aujourd'hui seize ans et mon destin bascule par une nuit d'orage et un ciel zébré de rouge. Ces deux derniers m'ouvrent les portes d'une destinée inconnue et incroyable. Un rubis apparait au creux de mon poignet droit et d'étranges lignes se dessinent sur ce même bras. A mon réveil rien n'est plus pareil; je suis à Vanastia, un univers parallèle au notre. Je suis originaire de ce monde. Étant enfant j'ai été capturée, formée à la magie noire et entrainée par un Seigneur conquérant. Une prédiction et mon frère ont finalement mis fin à mon calvaire. Pour me préserver de ce monstre les Eternels m'ont envoyé sur Terre. Aujourd'hui ils me rappellent auprès d'eux pour accomplir mon destin: vaincre celui qui voulait faire de moi une princesse sombre.
