This volume is focused on subjects related to cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injuries after acute stroke. All chapters are selected from the Sixth Elite Stroke meeting named Pangu Stroke Conference and written by members of world leading laboratories of stroke studies. The contents cover both clinical and bench studies, from basic components of cerebral arterial system to clinical reperfusion injury cases, from reperfusion caused programmed cell death and astrocyte activation to oxidative stress and nitric oxide after reperfusion, from extracellular matrix and inflammation to a role of diabetes after reperfusion, from small artery disorders to collateral circulation and blood pressure control after reperfusion.

Abstract The objective of the research aims to investigate whether or not the use of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) with Oxford Smart Choice Multi-ROM as an audiovisual learning software can develop the listening ability of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Model Parepare. The research applied quasi-experimental design. The population of this research was the tenth year students of SMA Negeri 1 Model Parepare in school year 2013/2014. The total number of population is 411 students and two classes of twelve classes were taken as sample by using cluster random sampling. The findings of this study as the effect of Oxford Smart Choice Multi-ROM to develop the student’s listening ability, as shown by t-test value (4.6) that higher than t-table value (2.000). It means that the listening ability of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Model Parepare develop significantly after they are taught by using CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) with Oxford Smart Choice Multi-ROM. Keywords: Student’s ability, CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), Oxford Smart Choice Multi-ROM, teaching listening.

At Gram’s Country Cooking School in Broken Rope, Missouri, Isabelle “Betts” Winston and her grandmother share the secrets of delicious home-style recipes. But there’s one secret they keep from their classes—their ability to talk to ghosts from the town’s colorful past… Betts and Gram agree to help their friend Jake at Broken Rope’s Historical Society by accommodating some foodie tourists for the night and occupying them with cooking lessons. It couldn’t be worse timing when the pair encounter the ax-wielding ghost of Sally Swarthmore, one of Broken Rope’s legendary murderers, who pleads with Betts to help find her diary--a diary that could prove that Sally was really a victim, not a villain. But they soon have a modern-day murder on their hands when one of the tourists turns up dead with a noose around his neck and two other tourists are nowhere to be found. Now Betts needs to put the cooking classes on the back burner to untangle two knotty mysteries and rope in a cold-blooded killer.
