John Maynard Keynes, then a rising young economist, participated in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 as chief representative of the British Treasury and advisor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George. He resigned after desperately trying and failing to reduce the huge demands for reparations being made on Germany.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Every man and woman, regardless of age or ethnicity wants healthy, clear, even, and glowing skin. However, the challenge in achieving such good skin begins with blemishes, such as, uneven skin pigmentation or hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is a common and harmless condition in which patches of skin, on the face, the hands and other body parts that are frequently exposed to the sun become darker in colour than normal surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when melanin, which is the brown pigment that gives the skin its colour, absorbs the harmful ultraviolet rays that can do serious skin damage. The excessive absorption of the harmful ultraviolet rays leads to the formation of patches on the skin which are darker than normal surrounding skin as mentioned earlier. In essence, sunburn or hyperpigmentation develops when the amount of ultraviolet rays exceeds the protection that the skin’s melanin could provide. Fortunately, there are preventive and treatment measures of hyperpigmentation which are very effective and do not compromise one’s health. However, due to lack of knowledge, affordability and inferiority complexes, many people use prohibited skin lighteners which contain harmful ingredients, such as mercury, hydroquinone and topical cortisteroids to lighten hyperpigmentation and to even out their skins. All these prohibited skin lighteners have a desirable effect at first, such as evening out the skin tone and reducing the appearance of acne scars. However, the misuse of these skin lighteners is associated with various side effects, ranging from dermatitis, impaired wound healing, adrenal suppression, neurological effects, psychological effects, renal effects and negative impacts on birth and placenta weights in pregnant women, etc. The purpose of this research project is to determine the historical background of skin lightening in South Africa, name factors that motivate skin lightening, the benefits and repercussions of skin lightening, safer alternatives, and recommendations. The misuse of prohibited skin lighteners is a subject of interest which should be regarded as a national priority that requires the government to move beyond a mode of crisis management because of the far reaching and devastating effects it has on the entire citizenry of South Africa.

The sexual revolution has impacted our nation, our church and our family. Promiscuity, nudity and sexual obscenities have become commonplace, and our consciences have become desensitized. No longer is there a widespread outcry against the avalanche of filth flaunted daily before our eyes. The repercussions from sexual sin are mounting as moral convictions falter and sexual fads balloon. Neither the nation nor the individual can escape the consequences of disregarding God's commandments. The Bible warns us that, "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23), and "The way of the transgressor is hard" (Prov. 13:15). Unless these kinds of works of the flesh are quickly mortified, they become demonic strongholds. Sowing to the flesh produces corruption (Gal. 6:8), and corruption (dead flesh) provides a banquet table for unclean spirits. The inevitable consequence of defilement is the loss of fellowship with a holy God. "Pursue... holiness, without which no one will see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14). Are the fleeting pleasures of sin worth the forfeiture of our fellowship with God? Learn how to break free from the bondage and repercussions from sexual sin.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As Europe buckles under Nazi occupation, Maisie Dobbs investigates a possible murder that threatens devastating repercussions for Britain's war efforts in this latest installment in the New York Times bestselling mystery series. October 1941. While on a delivery, young Freddie Hackett, a message runner for a government office, witnesses an argument that ends in murder. Crouching in the doorway of a bombed-out house, Freddie waits until the coast is clear. But when he arrives at the delivery address, he’s shocked to come face to face with the killer. Dismissed by the police when he attempts to report the crime, Freddie goes in search of a woman he once met when delivering a message: Maisie Dobbs. While Maisie believes the boy and wants to help, she must maintain extreme caution: she’s working secretly for the Special Operations Executive, assessing candidates for crucial work with the French resistance. Her two worlds collide when she spots the killer in a place she least expects. She soon realizes she’s been pulled into the orbit of a man who has his own reasons to kill—reasons that go back to the last war. As Maisie becomes entangled in a power struggle between Britain’s intelligence efforts in France and the work of Free French agents operating across Europe, she must also contend with the lingering question of Freddie Hackett’s state of mind. What she uncovers could hold disastrous consequences for all involved in this compelling chapter of the “series that seems to get better with every entry” (Wall Street Journal).

"Gadamer’s Repercussions is a terrific collection of essays. While Gadamer is not the most precise of philosophers, he turns out, in this book at least, to be among the most generative. The essays prove that Gadamer’s idealizing of dialogue can actually be put in practice by careful attention to the frameworks he addresses. I was most impressed by the essays that situate his ethics, his aesthetics, his relation to romanticism, his understanding of the relation of law and morality, his engagements with Fascism, and several aspects of his vexed relationship with postmodern thinking, especially on the possibility of dialogue."—Charles Altieri, author of The Particulars of Rapture "Gadamer is well known for his insistence that every reading is a new reading and every act of understanding a pathway to new understanding. Krajewski’s carefully assembled volume applies these maxims to the understanding of Gadamer himself. By focusing on his intellectual and political background as well as his long-range influence and repercussions, the book opens new vistas for assessing one of the philosophical giants of the twentieth century."—Fred Dallmayr, author of Dialogue Among Civilizations
