Almost as if it were a dream, day number 360 came and I was transported into another world. The flights were long, but within just a couple of days, I found myself back at my original starting point-Salt Lake City, Utah. Before arriving in Salt Lake City though, I was greeted by my parents and my in-laws at Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airport. As I scrambled through the baggage claim area and customs, I made my way towards my release from the regimented deployment world. Both sets of parents were poised and ready to greet me and my friends returning from overseas. Upon catching a glimpse of me, they popped out of their seats and began waving small American flags in my general di...
The southernmost and poorest state of the Eurasian space, Tajikistan collapsed immediately upon the fall of the Soviet Union and plunged into a bloody five-year civil war (1992–1997) that left more than 50,000 people dead and more than half a million displaced. After the 1997 Peace Agreements, Tajikistan stood out for being the only post-Soviet country to recognize an Islamic party—the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT)—as a key actor in the civil war as well as in postwar reconstruction and democratization. Tajikistan’s linguistic and cultural proximity to Iran notwithstanding, the balance of external powers over the country remains fairly typical of Central Asia, with R...
The Rangers are some of the best-trained and most skilled soldiers in the Army. Their motto—Rangers lead the way!—is not just a slogan; in many of the modern conflicts in which the U.S. military has been involved, the Rangers have been among the first soldiers on the ground. In both Iraq and Afghanistan, Rangers carry out raid, ambush, and rescue missions, as well as many other kinds of operations. Army Rangers gives readers a view into the world of the highly skilled Seventy-Fifth Ranger Regiment, today's Rangers, as well as a look at the history of the unit. Since the Revolutionary War, Ranger tactics and standards have been some of the most effective in the entire military. The book also includes information about: • The tough training courses that all Rangers must endure. • What kinds of weapons the Rangers use today and throughout history. • How the modern Rangers were organized and put into action around the world.
The word motreb finds its roots in the Arabic verb taraba, meaning ‘to make happy.’ Originally denoting all musicians in Iran, motrebi came to be associated, pejoratively, with the cheerful vulgarity of the lowbrow entertainer. In Iranian Music and Popular Entertainment, GJ Breyley and Sasan Fatemi examine the historically overlooked motrebi milieu, with its marginalized characters, from luti to gardan koloft and mashti, as well as the tenacity of motreb who continued their careers against all odds. They then turn to losanjelesi, the most pervasive form of Iranian popular music that developed as motrebi declined, and related musical forms in Iran and its diasporic popular cultural centre...

Bangsa Indonesia, bangsa yang besar dengan keberagamannya. Indonesia beragam dari segala sisi, mulai dari budaya, agama, suka, bahasa, sampai pemikiran-pemikiran yang ada pada setiap kepala. Dengan demikian, hal itu akan memberikan kesempatan pada bangsa-bangsa yang iri dengan Indonesia, baik bangsa dari luar maupun bangsa kiasan dari dalam negeri, untuk mengadu domba dan menghancurkan Indonesia. Nah, di sini peran pemuda sangatlah sakral, di mana pemuda pada dasarnya adalah pelopor pergerakan, penegak keadilan, penggerak kebijaksanaa yang kemudian berbuah cinta yang menyatukan. Tapi, sekali lagi kita lihat keadaan pemuda bangsa kita yang besar ini, apakah mereka sudah memenuhi keadaan yang diharapkan bangsanya? Tidak, kebanyakan dari pemuda, bahkan juga kita, lalai akan tugasnya sebagai nasionalis patriotis. Melalui tulisan yang tidak beraturan ini, penulis menaruh harapan besar sekali bahwa pemuda kita akan segera bangkit dan mengudara. Buku ini adalah kumpulan artikel-artikel singkat tentang pemuda, tentang apa yang harus mereka lakukan, serta mengapa mereka harus melakukan. Sebagai pemuda tidak bisa berpangku tangan, apalagi sembunyi tangan.
