We're diving into the principles and lifestyle of a producer that have been around for years and will continue to be around even after the next form of distribution arrives or the newest camera has become obsolete. Because whether you produce documentaries, features, or commercials, we all live The Producer's Life.

State-of-the-art Andronaut Zaylen is the first autonomous android designed for deep space exploration. With a human crew at the helm, Zaylen and his team must traverse a volatile alien planet and secure Tridisiom, an isotope with the ability to restore Earth. Tensions rise over the crew's divided attitude toward dependance on AI, all as Zaylen wrestles with his growing need for acceptance from his human colleagues. Meanwhile, Earth's fate rests in the ability of man and machine bridging a partnership, but embracing new complex technology proves more challenging than anticipated... "- Publishers Weekly BookLife Review Embark on an expedition through the cosmos in The Andronaut's Journey.

Entrar al corredorcito y llenarse de sus figuras fantásticas, míticas, de sus sueños. Entrar y tener a los otros, a esos otros en los que algún día nos convertiremos -los adultos- como figuras ajenas, silenciosas, pero siempre presentes. Entrar y sumergirse en el espacio habitado por los antepasados, por los silencios y los secretos que -sepamos o no, queramos o no- a lo largo de la vida, sin que seamos conscientes de ellos, nos llevarán a buscar, a encontrarnos con otros que, como nosotros, tendrán historias propias, batallas internas, hilos que cruzan tiempos, universos y se conectan con almas que nos llevan de vuelta a nuestro propio corredorcito, camino a veces perdido en medio de lo adulto. En tres partes, Asturias nos hace surcar la vida de El Alhajadito: la infancia en el corredorcito, el descubrimiento de los antepasados y la identificación con ellos; la travesía en el mar impregnada de las historias de los otros, adultos ya como El Alhajadito, como un ritual para encontrarse, porque "no sabíamos a punto fijo quiénes éramos"; y, finalmente, luego de ese adulto reconocimiento de no saber quién se es, el retorno al origen, a las manos femeninas que alimentaron las voces del corredorcito para que la realidad no doliera tanto. Poco recordamos de la infancia, de las horas de juego en las que vivíamos, en las que el mundo concreto, la realidad, se mezclaba y se fundía -se transformaba- con la fantasía. El Alhajadito de Asturias, poético Asturias, nos devuelve y nos pasea -tal como a El Alhajadito- por ese momento de fabulosa aventura, tal vez esperando que decidamos visitarla, soñarla, reírla, evadir los charcos y comprender el fluir de la vida, ¡por la señal de los sueños! (Denise Phé-Funchal)

This book explores the idea that current poetry in some cases is so novel that it escapes the definition of "modern" poetry and exists in a parallel universe. What current body of work can be read in order to test this proposition? One could read Poetry, a cutting edge monthly magazine. Or, one could read poetry from a poet writing from an assumed different mental universe. The author here has chosen the latter course, attempting to write from a place parallel to where typically he toils. The book explores the validity of the idea that current poetry is materially different from what we call "modern" poetry. It suggests the manner best suited to read the within poems. Finally, the author anecdotally explores sources of the concept of a parallel universe in film, fiction and as defined by science. The concept derives from an exhibit mounted during summer 2023 at the Paris Museum of Modern Art. The curator maintained that the works of the nine represented artists had found a link to a different level of expression. The question presented to this author by that exhibit and its title "Parallel Worlds" was whether that proposition was a mere semantic exercise. And, ultimately, this volume asks whether, underneath all theoretical analysis, these within poems are poetry worth reading-the ultimate test for any "poetry."

In a reality with echoes of a parallel universe, or in a future that could very well be our own, ten tales come together to give testimony of extraordinary circumstances regarding trial and triumph, heartache and joy, while detailing the ultimate plight of homo sapiens.Since its beginning, humanity has sought in earnest for the kingdom of heaven. Upon His arrival on earth, the Messiah confirmed that those willing to suffer in the here and now, enduring 'violence', would gain new life after weathering the wars brought against mankind thanks to a trifecta of temptation; the world, the passions... and the devil himself. Told with cinematic flare, and uniquely spanning multiple genres that take place over a millennium, the multi-story saga highlights the ageless practice of sacrificial love and self-denial (and, lack thereof), along with the fruits and consequences that follow.From the chicness of London's Southwark district to the exotic waters of the Balaeric Islands, the dusty outskirts of Los Angeles to the eccentricity of Greenwich Village, and the mighty history of Rome to the revered grounds of Jerusalem, globe-trotting adventures never lack as morality, philosophy, and existentialism make their case for the salvation of souls, while androids, angels, demons, priests, popes, slavers, saints, monsters, kings, queens, cops, and killers raise the stakes of a world at odds with its true identity. In tracing the predicament of more than one remarkable individual, the narrative paints a devastating picture of our inherent quest to achieve the spoils of heaven, or bring heaven crashing down.Filled with humor, suspense, action, and wonder, And the Violent Shall Take It lavishly presents humanity's struggle against the forces of this world and the supernatural, but also our own darkened selves on the path toward eternity.

To the Lord, it is all about the relationship between Him and you.But the question arises: Are you all in?In today's society, there are many church doctrines, rules, and laws that put the children of God in bondage and lack. The traditions of men can make the word of God of no effect, therefore turning one away from God because 'the word didn't work'. Trials and tribulations will always be at hand, but there is a way to overcome and learn to walk in freedom. One area many people struggle with is the tithe (giving 10% of your income). Are you cursed if you don't give 10%? Is the tithe before or after income? Or are we free from the tithe?In this book, you will take a walk into a deeper relationship with God one on one. When you become royalty, the questions of giving are no longer an issue.

Home Ministering - The Process of Perfecting the Saints is a life-changing novel that helps the reader better understand an important doctrine and principle that has been overlooked and underemphasized for a long time--Ministering. Following President Russell M Nelson's recent mandate to implement a "holier approach to caring for and ministering to others, " Home Ministering shifts our emphasis from simply visiting a family to actually ministering and caring for the needs of the Good Shepherd's flock.The book tells the story of a newly called LDS bishop as he is taught the vital role that ministering can play as we "watch over the Church always" and "bear one another's burdens." Along his journey he discovers that when we valiantly magnify our assignments to care for our fellow saints, and in turn allow them to serve us, we begin to develop the necessary Christlike attributes that will enable us to become more like him. Ministering then becomes an opportunity and a blessing, not a burden or requirement. It is through ministering to the flock of the Good Shepherd that we keep the two great commandments: to love God and love our neighbors. Home Ministering - The Process of Perfecting the Saints will help you better understand how to become an "Ammon-like shepherd," and show you how to minister the way He would minister, serve the way He would serve, and care the way He would care.

This book titled, "Prayer is asking and receiving" is written to enlighten the readers about what prayer really is, the importance of prayer and how to pray. When we pray, we are joining forces with God to combat all issues, to attack and bring to obedience all life's issues. It is having fellowship with God to exalt, praise, magnify and glorify God and His Name. In the book we discussed how we are supposed to pray as Jesus directed us to do before He left this earth. Following the directives of Jesus, we looked at the preliminaries of prayer noting that we do not have to jump into prayer without proper preparation. We must come to God fully prepared. In the book we looked at the main act of praying following the guidelines as given by Jesus as He directed us to do in "The Lord's Prayer" and as the Lord directed the children of Israel to do in the wilderness. After deciding what you really want from God then you must go into the Scriptures and search the Scripture to see if the need falls in line with God's will. We must be definite and exact in what we ask for. There should be no repetitions or tautology. A very important point that was emphasized in this book is the statement that Jesus made in Mark 11:24 where He said that when we pray, we must believe that we have received what we prayed for while praying (not later) then we will receive it. What He said there is that we must pray in faith and not in hope. This is important because most Christians pray in hope not in faith. They pray believing that they will receive their answer sometimes later. In this book we discussed the different kinds of prayer, when each type is used and how it is used. Prominent among the types discussed in this book are the prayer of agreement, the prayer of petition or request, united prayer or prayer of unity, prayer of importunity or persistence, the prayer of consecration and dedication, the prayer of commitment, prayer of worship and the prayer of intercession. We looked in detail at the prayer of intercession which is a prayer in which one takes the place of another in prayer. That is going to God for somebody. That somebody could be a person, a ministry, a church, a nation or even the Kingdom itself. That is standing in the gap between that somebody and God. Another important topic that we covered in the book is the use of the Name of Jesus in our Prayer. Jesus gave us two separate instructions as to how we should use His Name in prayer. However, most of us Christians do not differentiate the two. We tend not to know the difference. The Name of Jesus is the key that unlocks Heaven. All authority has been vested in that Name. We tend to use the two instructions that Jesus gave concerning the use of His Name interchangeably but wrongly most of the time. The ways we use the Name in our prayers tend to show that we do not know the power that is vested in the Name. Perhaps that is the reason why the answers to most of our prayers do not manifest physically. The right use of the Name is thoroughly explained in the book and examples are cited as to how the disciples followed the instructions of Christ in the use of His Name. We ought to follow in their footsteps. We also discussed the subject of, "Praying in the Spirit" in the book. We depend on the Holy Spirit in order to be able to pray in the Spirit. The Spirit makes intercession for us according to the will of God because we know not what to pray for sometimes. We also noted that if we want quick answers to our prayers then our prayers must be loaded with worship and praise, exalting the Name of the Lord God lives in the praises of His people. In this book we also looked at and discussed in detail how to conduct spiritual war-faring in prayers. the enemy's armor and the weapons at the disppsal of the Christian. We can see that for prayer to be answered does not depend on how loud we shout but how much interaction we have with the Holy Spirit.
