The opening line of this volume is writing reams of poetry in her head, on a Sunday morning lying in his bed; which sounds very much like the most golden of hours for any poet; the closing line of the collection is A friend suggested therapy (which I totally rejected). There is a narrative between these lines, a travel journal, but the time over which this Joycean journey tale place is unknown. It could be a lifetime, or a week or that hour. Kiernan talks of his poetry as navigating a route to the bare self. His opening poem focuses very directly upon a physical nudity that is merely an illusion of true nakedness. Even in this most personal of spaces there is a lack of intimacy, a lack of intimacy that is the source of anguish for the female voice in this poem. El primer verso de este poemario reza: escribe resmas de poesía en su cabeza, un domingo por la mañana acostada en su cama; que suena como la ma s dorada de las horas para cualquier poeta; el verso que cierra es: Un amigo me sugirió terapia (lo cual rechacé totalmente). Hay una historia contada entre lí neas, un diario de viaje, pero se desconoce el tiempo en el que transcurre este viaje joyceano. Podrí a ser toda una vida, o una semana o esa hora.

Quando Il Signore degli Anelli fu pubblicato negli anni '50, non si collocava comodamente tra le nozioni preconcette di genere letterario. Le risposte critiche riflettevano la confusione: per alcuni si trattava di una sgradita ricomparsa di standard narrativi che il modernismo avrebbe dovuto eliminare, o semplicemente di un brutto romanzo. Altri lo consideravano un'opera rinfrescante nelle tradizioni epiche e romantiche.Ironicamente, gran parte del pregiudizio critico riguardante la questione del genere ne Il Signore degli Anelli è stato motivato dallo stesso tipo di cecità che Tolkien denunciò nella sua famosa conferenza del 1936 Beowulf: I mostri e i critici: i mostri e i critici. Come Beowulf, anche l'opera di Tolkien non è stata adeguatamente apprezzata e valutata a causa di un generale rifiuto di accettare la centralità dei mostri, perché nonostante la sua 'mostruosa' originalità e l'ambientazione fantastica, è molto chiaramente, e non solo cronologicamente, al centro della letteratura del Novecento.Il presente volume è un tentativo di rendere conto della particolare interazione di genere che governa il racconto di Tolkien e di metterlo in una relazione significativa con il contesto letterario contemporaneo. Allo stesso tempo, è una ricerca per rintracciare uno dei mostri letterari più famosi e sfuggenti del secolo scorso, riempiendo uno spazio bianco a lungo trascurato sulla mappa della letteratura comparata e della critica di genere.La presente edizione italiana si impreziosisce di alcuni piccoli aggiornamenti e precisazioni che il curatore ha concordato con l'editore originario, Walking Tree Publishers, e con l'autore stesso.

Operativa tra il 1971 e il 2002, la Cabel (poi Cabel Electronic) è stata un'azienda italiana con sede a Curno (Bergamo) operativa nell'industria delle apparecchiature audiovisive e delle console per videogiochi. Tra il 1977 e il 1984, la Cabel Electronic ha prodotto sette differenti console, vendute in centinaia di migliaia di esemplari sia in Italia che all'estero, principalmente nella Germania dell'Ovest, in Francia e in Spagna. Telegioca, Telegun, Teleboy, Lem 2000, Universal Game Computer, TelesTar e Sirius sono oggi oggetti ricercati dai collezionisti, ma poco si sa della compagnia che li ha prodotti. Fino a ora.Scritto dopo un lavoro quinquennale di ricerca sul campo e raccolta di informazioni, questo libro racconta una storia dimenticata e di cui quasi nulla si sa. La fondazione, la crescita e la caduta di Cabel Electronic e la prima console war combattuta in Italia tra alcune aziende nazionali ed estere, tra cui Zanussi, Reel, Polistil, Atari e Commodore.

"Un uomo che torna a casa da un luogo in cui è stato sottoposto a una misteriosa procedura.Un futuro in cui i ricchi e potenti vivono in alto, in globi di cristallo, e i non abbienti nel "mondo di sotto", a cura del governo, che li provvede dei mezzi di sussistenza e di intrattenimento. Qui Osman Russo, un programmatore, che ha scelto di vivere nella "parte bassa" e si occupa di progettare e produrre sofisticate realtà virtuali, riceve la richiesta di andare a riparare un guasto a casa del figlio della Presidente. Durante le prove dell'apparecchio, in modo inaspettato, incontra Vera, una donna che sembra prodotta dalla macchina. Osman va via senza aver completato il suo intervento e viene contattato dalla Sicurezza Nazionale. Ma chi è Ember Nebula, capo della Sicurezza, che lo chiama per collaborare con la donna che ha sempre amato su un progetto che potrebbe fermare la morte di centinaia di persone? E perché qualcuno sta cercando di ucciderlo? Nel frattempo due piloti scomparsi entrambi misteriosamente all'inizio del ventesimo secolo, con il loro velivolo si ritrovano in una terra sconosciuta dove incontreranno una donna triste e due bambini che si affideranno a loro.Che cosa sta accadendo al mondo? E che collegamento ha tutto questo con la procedura?

Did you know that artificial intelligence (AI) can already write books?Well, not entirely on its own. For the result to be compelling, it needs a human by its side to guide its output, lending it soul and depth. When we combine the expansive awareness of AI tools with the expertise and experience of a data scientist, the result can't be anything but unparalleled.In this work, AI serves as an excellent facilitator in fulfilling the author's intent to elucidate the reasons for the imperfect functioning of the human mind. At times, our rational thinking takes a backseat, succumbing to cognitive biases that distort our perception of reality.Although this phenomenon affects all of us, we often overlook its implications. That's a missed opportunity. If we knew the traps set for our thinking, we could recognize and avoid them more easily.It is AI that, through compelling stories and fascinating thought connections, gives us the extraordinary opportunity to see ourselves in a new light and understand the mysterious recesses of our minds.So whether you are a person who, as a matter of principle, can't meet any deadlines, you have a colleague who always knows better than everyone else; if you recognize yourself as the idealist who believes that after every bad experience, there must inevitably be something that will make up for it; or if you are simply a reader who not only enjoys relaxing with a book, but also learning something new - you will not regret the time you spend with this Mirror.

Players today face a great challenge as some musical instruments and playing styles have reached their climax in producing rhythms tones colors and patterns so the players must invent new styles of playing or new waves to maintain their popularity. Many newcomers to the playing field are at risk if they only imitate and follow a popular player and his genre. The author of this book discusses how to build such a new wave, after analyzing the potential and opportunities of the player and developing a vision and plan of action for innovation.How to face failures, defeats, and maintaining a player's existence throughout the career is explained well in the book, and motivating for a long and stable journey is also discussed.Describing the changes or transformations that took place from the day music was born to the present is a very complicated task. In ancient times Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th and 21st Century, transformation took place slowly and often took a hundred years or more, but today it is changing very rapidly in a year or a few months.The rise of social media is rapidly changing the world's technologies, architecture, fashion, furniture, cars, roads, cities, and many others. In such a world, music cannot remain unchanged.The people facing this change are lining up for a transformation. Therefore, people are expecting a change in everything, as well as in music.The players have reached the end of a long journey with that musical instrument or have not been able to go beyond the playing style of that instrument. Since there are no restrictions on the instruments, the players must use all the possibilities available with those instruments.In this book, the procedure, and knowledge that a player should have to establish such a wave, the method that builds his mind for it, the system of using that knowledge and procedure, the methods of socializing a new wave, and the pattern that maintain it continuously and the way of keeping the performer in the field are also thoroughly analyzed.An analysis of the role of the player and what level he should be in today's context is a leading theme discussed in this book. The book discusses why this task should be done and how it should be done.The author discusses and vividly explains the present complexity of the giant music industry and gives ideas to establish successful methods to overcome those unseen problems. In any field, if the competition is high and broad, there is a collapse, and it is sometimes not easy to rebuild properly. The value of more new organizations to promote newcomers entering the field is a must and their knowledge and the activities for this task are discussed. September 2023

My Shelter In the Stars tells the story of an eight-year-old boy who has to deal with his father's alcoholism and violence. The child finds strength and comfort in an inner universe, on an imaginary star where he is welcomed by a mysterious benefactor who becomes his friend and a secret guide. Through his love and his understanding, the planet keeper will free the little man from his loneliness, his shame and his silence. He will also help him cope with the tragedies that happen almost daily at home. Will the boy thus discover in himself a life-saving path and a happy destiny? Coco Bellapianta sheds light on the unsaid misery of children in complex family situations in a unique way; she combines the realism of a story, which is sometimes brutal, in a context of a soft dreamlike universe. This very original book may be a liberating source of identification for adults with wounded childhoods, and a tool for caregivers and those who surround children trapped in family suffering. This work of fiction is meant for adults and skilled professionals, and with young or sensitive audiences, it is suggested that it be read with an appropriate person to guide them, as the story includes the topic of child abuse which might be triggering to some (the responsibility rests with the buyer of the book and readers). It was translated for English-speaking readers by the French author who wanted the English text to be as close as possible to the French one. It may not be perfect, but it is crafted with Love. My Shelter In the Stars is a generous, deep book that offers hope and Light.

This is a biography of a Mennonite woman and several generations of her people of Philadelphia into whose family I was born. My involvement with them was never required, but always voluntary. From the age of seventeen I was drawn more and more into the sphere of their views of life, being nonviolence, service and the agrarian. I took tangential approaches to these perhaps, but at the age of eleven took the oath never to kill. This was, as they say, an anointing before I ever knew of such. I sought and served on the faculties of two Black colleges in this life, receiving tenure at the last. Now they are called HBCUs, I became a gardener and herbalist, ran the the Experimental Drug and Herb Garden of UT-Austin, wrote a work on native plants, was involved in the restoration of overgrazed wilds. These are my claims to being Mennonite beyond the elusive affiliation. I wrote this book to work to prove to this Mennonite woman, my Aunt, that it matters if another feels the same longing we do. Since she was a trained artist watercolorist, but not celebrated, a woman who but for poverty, the age (she was born in 1910) and gender would have aspired to be a surgeon, I wanted to show her in the last years of her 94 that even if the quest for beauty contains contradiction in mortal conflicts, there is indeed the promise fulfilled. So I was a poet who married a physician and founded a medical practice to her great joy, all the while shuttling back and forth to Philadelphia to aid and visit, and engaging in long telephone with this 90 year beloved. Her watercolor canvases are stretched in the great freedom from oneself in the negative space of the road not taken. This is an account of a.Pennsylvania Dutch radical Mennonite watercolor artist intellectual and New York buyer for her department store, an archivist and curator. Her conversations advocate absolute soul liberty in the integrity of folk life. Through her the bygone worlds of Germantown, Philadelphia, Skippack, Salford, Oley and surroundings became realities. I have written extensively of these worlds back to 1717 and of the families and peoples and the lives they sustained.The search for beauty here starts among her watercolors. A participation mystique of the natural opens a door into those minds sometimes architectured like a Rilke sonnet. Natural events and objects describe spiritual conditions. All this is told against a family background of many generations of Mennonite pastors in the areas of Skippack, Salford, Hereford; it is told from inscriptions in classic pietistic texts, from burial inventories and gravestones, from names embroidered on show towels, from chests and plants and especially from notes, recollections and memories of 19th century survivals surrounding the first Palatinate peoples there from 1709, 1717 and before.
