Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

MTG 2014 Core Set Event Deck Wizards of the Coast

Gry Karciane

Playing the Deck With your horde of warriors, shamans, and wild beasts, your goal is to put your opponents on the back foot, then smash through their defenses. This deck lets you take the offensive, dominating the battle and denying your enemy time to execute a strategy. Your game plan is to attack early and often. Ideally, you'll start by playing a couple of creatures in the first three turns. If your opponent summons some early blockers, clear them away with Shock and Flames of the Firebrand rather than trade them for your creatures in combat. Your cards are at their best when you're attacking, so it's important to keep some creatures on the battlefield. Once your creature assault begins, your other cards provide support for the offensive. This deck makes great use of the Gatecrash set's bloodrush mechanic, which can help your attacking creatures barrel over your opponent's blockers. When boosting your creatures in combat, your first priority should be to keep your attackers alive. Unless you can finish off your opponent this turn, it's almost always better to pump up a blocked creature than it is to deal more damage to your opponent. Ghor-Clan Rampager is particularly awesome because it lets you do both by granting +4/+4 and trample. One of the most powerful tricks this deck can do involves Wild Beastmaster plus a bloodrush card. You can attack with Wild Beastmaster and discard a bloodrush card from your hand to boost its power before Wild Beastmaster's ability takes effect. The result? The bonus from the bloodrush ability is effectively passed on to all of your attacking creatures for a bone-crushing combat phase. Armed/Dangerous can also set up a huge attack when you use its fuse ability to cast both halves of the card. By choosing two different targets, you can force your opponent to block a small creature, leaving the path clear for your double-striking monstrosity to connect. Your sideboard offers options to counter your opponent's strategy and give you the advantage. If your opponent is gaining lots of life, respond with Skullcrack to put a stop to it. Annihilating Fire helps permanently burn away creatures that come back from the graveyard or have effects when they die. Against other decks with big creatures, Act of Treason and Enlarge are trump cards that let you turn combat dramatically in your favor. Gruul Charm comes in handy against decks with flying creatures or lots of blockers. Savage Summoning is a powerful weapon against counterspells. An aggressive strategy is among the most satisfying routes to victory in Magic

MTG Dragon's Maze - Strength of Selesnya Event Deck Wizards of the Coast

Gry Karciane

Playing the Deck From its guildhome Vitu-Ghazi, the Selesnya Conclave engages in a relentless campaign of growth, sending its tendrils out into the never-ending streets of the Ravnican metropolis. With the "Strength of Selesnya" deck, you sow the field of battle with a variety of troops, many of them creature tokens. Then you can grow a mighty army using populate effects, which give you another a copy of one of your creature tokens. And finally, as your forces stretch to the horizon, your enemy will crumble in the face of your relentless expansion. At the start of the game, your goal is simple: plant the seeds of your token army. Innistrad block all-stars Doomed Traveler and Lingering Souls are joined by Call of the Conclave and Grove of the Guardian, some of the best token-creating cards in the Return to Ravnica set. Dragon's Maze adds an exciting new addition to the menagerie: Advent of the Wurm delivers a trampling, 5/5 creature for only . Once your token army is in place, it's time to reap the rewards. Wake the Reflections makes a copy of your best token for just . That kind of brutal efficiency can quickly swing the game in your favor. On the other hand, Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, Wayfaring Temple, and Growing Ranks can pump out a new token every turn. Few enemies can withstand such relentless inevitability. If you'd like something a little trickier and more defensive, Rootborn Defenses is your card, making your team indestructible for the rest of the turn. It's perfect for setting up a devastating ambush or for answering an opponent's boardsweeping removal spell. Your other cards allow you to maximize the effectiveness of your flourishing army. Intangible Virtue turns even your lowliest token recruit into a two-way force of nature. Rancor makes sure Wayfaring Temple never has trouble connecting to trigger its populate ability. Parallel Lives doubles your fun at the same time as it doubles all of your token generation. And when you're finally ready to deliver the killing blow, Champion of Lambholt and Odric, Master Tactician help you easily push through your opponent's defenses. Your main deck focuses on expanding your army and overwhelming your enemies. Sideboarding gives you the tools to deal with opponents who aren't especially cooperative. If the opposing deck starts attacking quickly with cheap creatures, Centaur Healer is valuable as a roadblock and a quick burst of extra life. Sundering Growth is the perfect antidote for pesky enchantments and artifacts. Some opponents will sit smugly behind a seemingly impenetrable thicket of defenses. Bring in Rogue's Passage to punish their overconfidence. Once you've had a chance to play the "Strength of Selesnya" deck, you're ready to make it your own. If you enjoyed building up an unstoppable army with Growing Ranks and Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, try adding Trostani, Selesnya's Voice from Return to Ravnica. Not only can the Selesnya guild leader populate every turn, you also gain life whenever a creature joins your team. If you were more excited about dominating the board with oversized creatures like the ones you get from Advent of the Wurm and Call of the Conclave, creatures like Loxodon Smiter and Armada Wurm pack quite a punch.

The Wonderful Winawer: Strategic Ideas Surprise Weapons for Dynamic Chess Players

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

The widely-played  Winawer Variation  has been called #8216;the jewel in the crown of the French Defence#8217;. It is easy to see why: This is an opening for players who love a real fight. Black immediately attacks White#8217;s centre and the resulting positional dynamics offer chances to both sides. Viktor Moskalenko, a renowned champion of dynamic play, is the ideal guide to show you both the strategic principles and the tactical finesses. As a follow-up to his bestselling  The Flexible French , Moskalenko has written another sparkling book brimming with new and original ideas. The entire spectrum of the Winawer is covered, but of course Moskalenko has his own preferences and he does not shy away from some daring recommendations.  His keen eye for the essence of positions, his talent to find new resources in well-known lines and his own inimitable style will make the #8216;French Magic#8217; work for every reader. Viktor Moskalenko  is an International Grandmaster, a successful author and a well-known chess coach who has worked with Vasily Ivanchuk. A former Ukrainian champion, Moskalenko remains highly active as a player and has won numerous tournaments in his new home country, Spain. Viktor Kortchnoi: "Familiarizing oneself with Moskalenko's new ideas can only have a beneficial effect on the play of any reader, from amateur to professional. I can see many connections between this second book and the earlier 'flexible' volume, which proves that the two are in spirit actually one publication." Arne Moll, ChessVibes: "The book literally brims with double exclamation marks, devious tricks, once-forgotten-but-now-revitalised ideas, quintessential quotes, noteworthy novelties, and thought-provoking italicised musing (..) A true roller-coaster ride of a book." Klaus Kreuzer, Europa Rochade Magazine: "It is simply a pleasure to work with this book." Paul Motwani, The Scotsman: "Brilliant (..) GM Viktor Moskalenko does an excellent job of giving all the most important lines after 3.Nc3 Bb4 together with lots of sound advice and ideas which makes the material easily understandable." Marshtower Chess Reviews: "The writing style is never less than engaging. It is possible to learn quite a lot just by reading the prose and not even playing through the moves."  Joe Petrolito, Australasian Chess Magazine: "Expands and complements the material on the Winawer in the earlier book (..) Another fine book by a good author." Glenn Flear, Yearbook 98: "It is as if Moskalenko and New In Chess have consciously sought out the best features in other chess books and then put them all into this one. In addition, these 272 pages are so full full of the sheer 'joie de vivre' of the author that I would recommend turning a few pages when you are feeling down." Max Euwe Centre, Amsterdam: "A barrage of ideas, suggestions, warnings and concepts." Gary Lane, Chess Moves Magazine: "A must for those who play the French Defence." Carsten Hansen, ChessCafe: "Very interesting and well-analyzed, with plenty of fresh ideas and suggestions." Praise for other books by Viktor Moskalenko: John Watson, The Week In Chess (on The Flexible French): #8220;Simply sparkles with ideas.#8221; Bill McGeary, ChessVille (on Revolutionize Your Chess): #8220;This book could be the most complete approach to teaching improving players that I have seen.#8221; Lubomir Kavalek, The Washingt on Post (on The Fabulous Budapest Gambit): #8220;Well structured and fun to read.#8221;

Data Model Resource Book - Universal Patterns for Data Modeling V3 John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This third volume of the best-selling "Data Model Resource Book" series revolutionizes the data modeling discipline by answering the question "How can you save significant time while improving the quality of any type of data modeling effort?" In contrast to the first two volumes, this new volume focuses on the fundamental, underlying patterns that affect over 50 percent of most data modeling efforts. These patterns can be used to considerably reduce modeling time and cost, to jump-start data modeling efforts, as standards and guidelines to increase data model consistency and quality, and as an objective source against which an enterprise can evaluate data models. Praise for The Data Model Resource Book, Volume 3 "Len and Paul look beneath the superficial issues of data modeling and have produced a work that is a must for every serious designer and manager of an IT project."-Bill Inmon, World-renowned expert, speaker, and author on data warehousing and widely recognized as the "father of data warehousing" "The Data Model Resource Book, Volume 3: Universal Patterns for Data Modeling is a great source for reusable patterns you can use to save a tremendous amount of time, effort, and cost on any data modeling effort. Len Silverston and Paul Agnewhave provided an indispensable reference of very high-quality patterns for the most foundational types of datamodel structures. This book represents a revolutionary leap in moving the data modeling profession forward." -Ron Powell, Cofounder and Editorial Director of the Business Intelligence Network "After we model a Customer, Product, or Order, there is still more about each of these that remains to be captured, such as roles they play, classifications in which they belong, or states in which they change. The Data Model Resource Book, Volume 3: Universal Patterns for Data Modeling clearly illustrates these common structures.Len Silverston and Paul Agnew have created a valuable addition to our field, allowing us to improve the consistency and quality of our models by leveraging the many common structures within this text." -Steve Hoberman, Best-Selling Author of Data Modeling Made Simple "The large national health insurance company I work at has actively used these data patterns and the (Universal Data Models) UDM, ahead of this book, through Len Silverston's UDM Jump Start engagement. The patterns have found their way into the core of our Enterprise Information Model, our data warehouse designs, and progressively into key business function databases. We are getting to reuse the patterns across projects and are reaping benefits in understanding, flexibility, and time-to-market. Thanks so much." -David Chasteen, Enterprise Information Architect "Reusing proven data modeling design patterns means exactly that. Data models become stable, but remain very flexible to accommodate changes. We have had the fortune of having Len and Paul share the patterns that are described in this book via our engagements with Universal Data Models, LLC.These data modeling design patterns have helped us to focus on the essential business issues because we have leveraged these reusable building blocks for many of the standard design problems. These design patterns have also helped us to evaluate the quality of data models for their intended purpose. Many times there are a lot of enhancements required. Too often the very specialized business-oriented data model is also implemented physically. This may have significant drawbacks to flexibility. I'm looking forward to increasing the data modeling design pattern competence within Nokia with the help of this book." -Teemu Mattelmaki, Chief Information Architect, Nokia "Once again, Len Silverston, this time together with Paul Agnew, has made a valuable contribution to the body of knowledge about datamodels, and the act of building sound data models. As a professional data modeler, and teacher of data modeling for almost three decades, I have always been aware that I had developed some familiar mental "patterns" which I acquired very early in my data modeling experience.When teaching data modeling, we use relatively simple workshops, but they are carefully designed so the students will see and acquire a lot of these basic "patterns" - templates that they will recognize and can use to interpret different subject matter into data model form quickly and easily. I've always used these patterns in the course of facilitating data modeling sessions; I was able to recognize "Ah, this is just like ...," and quickly apply a pattern that I'd seen before. But, in all this time, I've never sat down and clearly categorized and documented what each of these "patterns" actually was in such a way that they could be easily and clearly communicated to others; Len and Paul have done exactly that. As in the other Data Model Resource Books, the thinking and writing is extraordinarily clear and understandable. I personally would have been very proud to have authored this book, and I sincerely applaud Len and Paul for another great contribution to the art and science of data modeling. It will be of great value to any data modeler." -William G. Smith, President, William G. Smith & Associates, www.williamgsmith.com "Len Silverston and Paul Agnew's book, Universal Patterns for Data Modeling, is essential reading for anyone undertaking commercial datamodeling.With this latest volume that compiles and insightfully describes fundamental, universal data patterns, The Data Model Resource Book series represents the most important contribution to the data modeling discipline in the last decade." -Dr. Graeme Simsion, Author of Data Modeling Essentials and Data Modeling Theory and Practice "Volume 3 of this trilogy is a most welcome addition to Len Silverston's two previous books in this area. Guidance has existed for some time for those who desire to use pattern-based analysis to jump-start their data modeling efforts. Guidance exists for those who want to use generalized and industry-specific data constructs to leverage their efforts. What has been missing is guidance to those of us needing guidance to complete the roughly one-third of data models that are not generalized or industry-specific. This is where the magic of individual organizational strategies must manifest itself, and Len and Paul have done so clearly and articulately in a manner that complements the first two volumes of The Data Model Resource Book.By adding this book to Volumes 1 and 2 you will be gaining access to some of the most integrated data modeling guidance available on the planet." -Dr. Peter Aiken, Author of XML in Data Management and data management industry leader VCU/Data Blueprint

MTG 2014 - Intro Pack - Psychic Labyrinth Wizards of the Coast

Gry Karciane

This tactical deck focuses on controlling the flow of combat. Efficient flying creatures backed up by versatile support spells will allow you to sculpt your path to victory. Your primary plan is to play out some early attackers and then use your spells to stay on the offensive. If you have a Scroll Thief, use your spells liberally to get it through and draw more cards. Frost Breath and Master of Diversion can tap down blockers, and Show of Valor allows you to attack even if your opponent has a large creature on defense. Consider saving Claustrophobia for serious threats because it's your best way to permanently lock down a creature. If you should find yourself on the defensive, those same spells are also great at slowing down your opponent's attacks. A good strategy in this situation is to keep attacking with your fliers while you slow the enemy down with spells and blockers. As the game goes on, you'll gain access to powerful flying creatures like Air Servant and Jace's Mindseeker. If your air force can finish off your opponent in time, you won't need to worry about his or her army! By using a variety of spells, you can keep your opponents guessing. The Magic 2014 core set card Domestication can steal one of your opponent's creatures over to your side, and Windreader Sphinx is a great creature to close out a long game. Azorius Charm from Return to Ravnica can put a creature back on top of your opponent's library, or grant all of your creatures lifelink for a turn.

Kicking & Dreaming Harper Collins Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Two sisters. Two voices. One Heart. The mystery of Magic Man. The wicked riff of Barracuda. The sadness and beauty of Alone. The raw energy of Crazy On You. These songs, and so many more, are part of the fabric of American music. Heart, fronted by Ann and Nancy Wilson, has given fans everywhere classic, raw, and pure badass rock and roll for more than three decades. As the only sisters in rock who write their own music and play their own instruments, Ann and Nancy have always stood apart-certainly from their male counterparts but also from their female peers. By refusing to let themselves and their music be defined by their gender, and by never allowing their sexuality to overshadow their talent, the Wilson sisters have made their mark, and in the process paved the way for many of today's female artists. In Kicking and Dreaming, Ann and Nancy, with the help of critically acclaimed and bestselling music biographer Charles R. Cross, recount a journey that has taken them from a gypsy - like life as the children of a globe-trotting Marine to the frozen back roads of Vancouver, where they got their start as a band, to the pinnacle of success-and sometimes excess.In these pages, readers will learn the truth about the relationship that inspired "Magic Man" and Crazy On You, the turmoil of interband romances gone awry, the reality of life on the road as single women and then as mothers of small children, and the thrill of performing and in some cases partying with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks, Van Halen, Def Leppard, and other rock legends. It has not always been an easy path. Ann struggled with and triumphed over a childhood stutter, body image, and alcoholism; Nancy suffered the pain and disappointment of fertility issues and a failed marriage but ultimately found love again and happiness as a mom. Through it all, the sisters drew from the strength of a family bond that trumps everything else, as told in this intimate, honest, and uniquely female take on the rock and roll life. Throughout their career, Ann and Nancy have never found an answer to the question they are most frequently asked: "What is it like to be a woman in rock and roll?" Kicking and Dreaming puts that question to bed, once and for all.

With Hit Me, Fred, sensational sideman Fred Wesley Jr. moves front and center to tell his life story. A legendary funk, soul, and jazz musician, Wesley is best known for his work in the late sixties and early seventies with James Brown and as the leader of Brown's band, Fred Wesley and the JB's. Having been the band's music director, arranger, trombone player, and frequent composer, Wesley is one of the original architects of funk music. "[Fred Wesley is] one of the most influential instrumentalist/composer/arrangers in the annals of R & B, soul-jazz, and hip-hop...[and] one of the most sampled musicians in the world today."--Timothy White, Billboard "This book is straight up! Fred Wesley, he'll tell you like it is, even if your feelings get hurt, but coming from Fred, for some reason it makes you wanna do better. The book is the bomb!!! Stories are stories but this is real life. Write on, Fred."--Bootsy Collins "[T]he book reads easily--it sounds like Fred's telling you all this over plate of rice 'n' ribs...When James [Brown] and George [Clinton] are long gone, the music they brought to life between 1967 and 1977 will still be tearing the roof off the sucker--and Fred Wesley was an indispensable part of that revolution."--Dan Warburton, Signal to Noise "[A] remarkable autobiography...This candid and hilarious account of working alongside James Brown, Parliament/Funkadelic, and on his own, should solidify [Wesley's] reputation as much as the music he created."--Down Beat "As passionately crafted as one of [Wesley's] solos, Hit Me, Fred becomes a shout-out to all sidemen who play their hearts out--just outside the spotlight. As a musician, Wesley could always capture the feverish moment. Now, as a storyteller, he has revealed yet another way to take us higher."--Boston Globe
